http://finance.moneyandmarkets.com/reports/SMR/4597/vsp-smr2.php?s=p446&e=4593105 An historic, world-changing event is about to crush the U.S. economy and stock market. It will destroy the income, savings, investments and retirements of millions of Americans. It will plunge vast numbers of families into the nightmare of poverty ... hunger ... and homelessness. Only a minority of investors will survive intact. And some will actually build their wealth in the process. I’m Martin Weiss, founder of Weiss Research. You may know that name because every day, more than 500,000 people get our financial publications. And hundreds of thousands more have used our Weiss Ratings on banks, insurance companies and stocks to help make prudent financial decisions. You may also know us because we’ve been on TV and in the newspapers a lot lately: We were the first rating agency in the word to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing BUT the truth about the financial mess the United States government has gotten itself into. Unlike Moody’s, Fitch and even S&P which still give the U.S. a stellar rating despite its financial troubles, we gave Uncle Sam a credit rating that places him where he really belongs — just above nations that are already on the brink of bankruptcy. And boy, did the media ever have a field day with that story! The Wall Street Journal and Barron’s reported that the Weiss Rating on Uncle Sam is a mere two notches above “junk” — the category assigned to near-bankrupt nations. And Fortune expressed shock that we ranked America’s finances below several smaller countries. You may also know me because, in the 40 years since I founded this company, so many of our prior warnings made the news. Months in advance, we warned about the S&L crisis of the 1980s, the giant insurance company failures of the 1990s, plus the great “Tech Wreck” of the early 2000s. More recently, ours was the only firm in the world to warn of the financial crisis of 2008 more than a year in advance. While also issuing low ratings — and specifically naming — nearly every major company that collapsed. We gave advance warnings about the failure of Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, General Motors, Fannie Mae, Wachovia, Citigroup, Bank of America, and many others. These kinds of on-target warnings prompted Worth magazine to say, “Weiss’s record is so good compared with that of his competitors ... consumers need look no further.” And the New York Times to say, “Weiss was the first to see the dangers and say so unambiguously.” Barron’s wrote, “Weiss is the leader in identifying vulnerable companies.” And NEWSMAX said, “Weiss’s prediction of the current economic crisis is uncanny.” More importantly, our forecasts allowed investors to avoid big losses and even make money as the crisis unfolded. On average, the 15 investments we gave the highest ratings to rose 467% DESPITE the worst debt crises in recent years. And we also recommended investments that are designed to make you money BECAUSE of the crisis. I expect they’ll do even better in the months ahead. Because now, a far more dangerous phase of this crisis is beginning. Barring a miracle in Washington ... An historic, world-changing event This monumental event will plunge vast numbers of families into the nightmare of poverty, homelessness and hunger. In the worst case scenario, you will see soaring crime, the confiscation of property, the suspension of civil rights, and even martial law enforcement by the U.S. military ... But while the vast majority of Americans will suffer, a select handful will use this crisis to build substantial wealth. If you act on the simple recommendations I’ll give you in this presentation, you could be one of them. This unhedged warning I’m well aware that these forecasts will be controversial even among my closest friends. But in our time together today, I’ll present powerful evidence of their accuracy. I’ll describe exactly what to expect as America’s great debt crisis continues to unfold — how it’s likely to impact you, your family and your finances. I’ll NAME the giant banks that are most vulnerable. And, I’ll give you my strategies for protecting and improving your finances as this crisis unfolds. If you take the simple steps I’ll recommend in a moment, I can guarantee you’ll be a lot better off than people who haven’t prepared. Even if I’m wrong about how massive this crisis will be, you should still do very well. And if I’m right, you could make more than enough money to get your loved ones through in safety and comfort. I personally lived through I went to high school in a large foreign country, one of the largest in the world. And when their leaders made the same mistakes Washington is making now, all hell broke loose. First, the cost of living exploded. Suddenly, everything we needed to buy cost ten times more. In some cases, the crisis became deadly: Prices rose so quickly that construction companies began using lower-quality concrete. Developers added more floors to buildings in an attempt to recoup rapidly rising costs. So when one of these skyscrapers collapsed, a teacher who lived next door found his home crushed under the rubble, his wife still inside. Later, in sheer desperation, the government begged the people to donate their gold jewelry and coins to help save the economy. One woman even pulled the wedding ring off her finger to give it to the government. Local officials shook her hand but the politicians pocketed the gold. Later, the government got so desperate; it summarily froze everyone’s bank accounts. It confiscated their money and replaced it with a new, far-less valuable currency. And that was only the beginning of the people’s suffering. In the end, they were doomed to decades of intense financial pain, shame and lost personal liberties. I can assure you these stories are true — because I witnessed them personally: The teacher who nearly lost his wife when the skyscraper collapsed was my teacher. The patriotic woman who donated her gold wedding band was my best friend’s mother. These things happened when I was a young man living in the third largest country in the capitalist word at that time — Brazil. But my story
is about to permanently alter your life.
will NOT make me any friends
in Washington OR on Wall Street!
the kind of disaster
the U.S. is facing now.
is definitely NOT unique ...
