				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">While they may not admit it officially, European leaders are likely uneasy after last weeks televised presidential debate. Most of the European leaders favor the status quo in American leadership.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">Political and financial leaders have forged a comfortable working relationship with the Obama administration during the last 2 1/2 years. All parties have collaborated closely on the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">The only country mentioned in the region during the debate was Spain. When Governor Mitt Romney labeled Spain a failed economy, it set the European media ablaze. Considering he singled out Spain instead of Greece, it is understandable.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">Most of the Eurozone officials, whatever their politics, are traditionally in agreement with Democratic policies on a whole list of issues including taxes and foreign affairs. Their concerns about Romney are more about the return of ultra-conservative policy advisers to Washington under a Romney presidency than the man himself.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">Politics is just another force that causes changes in the Forex markets. There are always opportunities to grow your investments. It is true, with enough research, you can find them yourself. But, you also have to conquer the learning curve and be willing to put in the time as well as live with the stress of trading, decision making, and the fear of the unknown.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">So what does all this have to do with investing with my traders? For starters, the learning curve I just mentioned has been eliminated. You benefit from my trial and error over the years and the lessons learned from my mistakes. Yes, I made mistakes during the learning process, but I now know this business like the back of my hand.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">While I was devoting those grueling hours, I built a network of bankers, traders, and clients. I have built numerous relationships throughout the industry, and have been careful to keep those relationships strong. Like the politicians I mentioned earlier, I prefer to do business with those I know and trust.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">That&#8217;s why your funds are placed in your own account at a regulated Swiss Bank. Swiss Banks have proven throughout history to be the safest in the world. You can look that one up for yourself.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">My traders only have permission to place trades on your account through a limited power of attorney. Your investment remains solely in your name at all times. My traders have proven to me their ability to perform. Their track-records are as solid as the Swiss Bank holding your managed Forex account. I only work with traders who have already proven successful managing other people&#8217;s money and who understand how to deal with the pressures that come with professionally trading for others.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">If you&#8217;ve been reading my emails for months, you already know how I work. Maybe it is time to take action on what you know. The sooner you get in; the sooner you&#8217;ll have the opportunity to see that steady growth in your managed Forex account before the end of the year.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">Call or email me today.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera accomplished an exceptionally rare baseball feat this year that hadn&#8217;t been done since 1967. Cabrera became the first player to win the Triple Crown since Carl Yastrzemski 45 years ago. The Triple Crown in baseball is when a player leads or ties for the lead in his league, either the American or National League, in the big three major offensive categories. These categories are batting average, runs batted in, and home runs. When Yastrzemski won his Triple Crown in 1967, he tied for the league lead in home runs. The last untied Triple Crown winner was a year before that in 1966, when Frank Robinson accomplished the feat.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">In addition to being the first winner since 1967, Cabrera also set two other notable firsts. He became the first Latin American player to win the Triple Crown, as well as the first third baseman to ever accomplish the feat. The Triple Crown has been won only 17 times since 1878. Many people feel that the Triple Crown is one of the most difficult achievements to accomplish in MLB. Most hitters in this era focus on either hitting for average, or hitting for power, so winning the Triple Crown shows an overall mastery of batting that is extremely unusual in this day and age.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">Over this 130+ year period, only a few players turned out to be masters of their game. The total number of players to actually accomplish this feat is less than 17 as there were a couple of repeats in the earlier years.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">Are you frustrated because, in the current economy, being at the top of the game seems impossible?</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">Are you struggling to build any kind of a nest egg for yourself? Wouldn&#8217;t it be outstanding if you could consistently beat the odds with your own investments and have a &#8220;triple crown winner&#8221; almost every year? If you could take your own investments and ride the coattails of traders who have consistently repeated this feat year after year?</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">I&#8217;ve burned the midnight oil, done the due diligence, and made the stupid mistakes (years ago)&#8230;so YOU don&#8217;t have to. In the process, I&#8217;ve uncovered super star traders. Masters of their game who are performing triple crowns with investors&#8217; managed Forex accounts.<br />
These traders accomplish this out of the spotlight for my account holders — consistently achieving the types of returns, cash flows, and wealth that make defying the odds of human performance routine.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">YOU don&#8217;t have to master the trading game to invest intelligently and safely. My traders are already at the top of their game. They win year after year. Just check the performance records on my site.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">The smartest thing you can do today is to simply get in the game. Call me about my 3 traders&#8217; amazing performance records this year. Then, compare that to what&#8217;s been happening with your current investments recently.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">I&#8217;ve got the consistent, boring solution for you to earn game changing, double digit returns. Give me a call or email me today for a slot on the team.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">If you are reading this, you are lucky. Someone turned you on to my website, and my newsletters didn&#8217;t turn you off. You have the opportunity to &#8216;hire&#8217; the best underground traders in the world, and put them to work building your account. However, I only work with people I like and all new investors have a &#8216;honeymoon period&#8217;.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">You get full transparency. Your funds remain in a regulated Swiss bank, in your own account, and under your name only. You have the ability to watch your account daily, just keep in mind that doing so can be like dieting and weighing yourself everyday. Weighing yourself everyday and watching every ounce eventually becomes self-defeating. One day in trading certainly does not make a year.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">It always amazes me. The millionaire investors I accept into my group typically have years of experience growing their assets. In their work lives as well as financial affairs, they are comfortable delegating tasks.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">But, when it comes to their investments, there are always a few who throw all this out the window. Having made the decision to open an account, they forget the very benefits that attracted them to investing with us, and the micromanager / control freak emerges. They become second guessers and backseat drivers.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">It&#8217;s your prerogative, but it doesn&#8217;t make you a good fit for us. We just don&#8217;t do business with jerks. Our maximum deposit limit keeps each account at no more than 2% of the $100 million we are raising per trader. We prefer to diversify our clientele and not allow an individual client to represent too large a portion of each trader&#8217;s AUM (assets under management).</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">If you think you can do better than the trader handling your account; fund another account and manage it yourself. Then see which one posts the better profits. 110% probability, it will be ours. In the meantime, you will have reminded yourself why you invested with my traders in the first place.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">You have a life. You have family, friends, or hobbies which take time away from trading. You most likely lack the time or inclination to stay glued to your computer screen for hours on end. Maybe you still work and can&#8217;t watch the market during the day. If that&#8217;s the case then you&#8217;re probably sleeping during those big moves that often happen overnight.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">I&#8217;m confident you will discover that it&#8217;s a lot harder than it looks to make boat loads of consistent, long-term gains with your trading because you haven&#8217;t found a trading strategy that works for you</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">You second guess other traders, yet you find it challenging to actually “pull the trigger” and execute an order when you find a trading opportunity. It&#8217;s not any easier to do when you are in control. You probably find yourself getting out of the market too early because of fear or too late because of greed.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">All of this adds up to the fact that some are better suited to be passive investors. There&#8217;s no right or wrong in that situation. It&#8217;s your money, and it is a personal choice.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">My traders have all the attributes that overcome the situations listed above; rock solid discipline, hold winners, cut losers fast, trade 12 to 24 hours per day, and have proven, successful track records trading real money on live accounts.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">Once you make the decision to let go, you will find you are able to focus on exactly who you want to be, thereby achieving what you want to achieve &#8230; faster. If you make this decision before you get started, and stick to it, you will be much further ahead.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">If you are ready to make that decision and stand by it, it might be a sign that you should call me at: 925-699-3451 or email me at: <a href="mailto:Andrew@OnTargetFX.com">Andrew@OnTargetFX.com</a> for a frank discussion about your situation. We can come up with a plan for what you need to do to achieve your financial goals over the next 5 – 10 years.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">I have the investment antidote you are looking for. Great investments that continue to achieve solid and consistent returns in spite of the current economy.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">The financial life of most investors has changed drastically in the past few years since the Great Recession. The world economy is still struggling. Many conventional ways of building wealth are no longer valid.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">Time was, you could save a modest amount every month in any number of safe investments like CD&#8217;s/Time Deposits, bonds, or mutual funds, and after 20 years or so you would have a nice retirement nest egg.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">The plan that your home would continue to grow in value every year and provide you with a large cushion of equity that could bolster your retirement funds when you sold at retirement has also proven a myth.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">The financial markets are volatile and business profits continue to fall as even the strongest economies continue to feel the effects of global contraction.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">Central banks worldwide are dealing with these issues. In recent weeks, they have again proposed various stimulus programs including the long awaited QE3 in the US. The purpose of the bond buying this time around is to improve unemployment, bolster the housing market and hopefully drive stock prices higher.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">The Eurozone has the same concerns. The sovereign debt crisis is affecting the growth of economies globally. Of course, this means interest rates on less risky investments will remain at near zero for several more years. They may even slip to negative interest as a few did in Europe during August.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">When traditional investments are performing dismally at best and steadily losing ground, many are looking for another option. But what about the risks?</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">All investments carry a degree of risk. The difference with me is that I&#8217;m extremely hard on my traders. If my traders ever exceed their max risk limit (35%), I fire them. You may not have looked at my traders&#8217; performance records yet but the maximum drawdown on initial deposits (loss) has never reached 35%. I don&#8217;t expect it to either.<br />
With that said, no real guru worth their salt knows the future and by law I must say that trading is risky; be sure to read my full <a href="http://ontargetfx.com/riskdisclosure/">risk disclosure</a>.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">As I just stated, if my traders hit more than a 35% drawdown they get fired. That way if this worst case scenario should ever happen, at least you are fully aware of your max risk.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">By the way, if you can&#8217;t risk 35% to make 70%+ annual returns, you&#8217;re really living in a dream world. Just stop reading now. Most investors I know would give their right arm for 70%+ annual returns with risks that low.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">If you&#8217;ve been reconsidering your investment options recently, it&#8217;s probably a sign that you should give me a call at: 925-699-3451 or email me at: <a href="Andrew@OnTargetFX.com">Andrew@OnTargetFX.com</a> for a frank discussion about your situation. We can come up with a plan for what you need to do to achieve your financial goals over the next 5 – 10 years.</p>
<p style="margin: 0 0 18px 0;">I have the investment antidote to the stagnant or negative growth you&#8217;re most likely currently experiencing with your assets &#8211; investment alternatives that continue to achieve consistent, above average returns in spite of the current gloomy economic news.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The events surrounding the IPO of Facebook can teach both seasoned and novice investors a few lessons. You know there was a lot of hype leading up to the offering. Some gurus even predicted it might be the next Apple.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Many investors bought into the hype and jumped on the bandwagon. When there’s a lot of hype surrounding an offering, the lottery mentality and the desire for instant gratification tend to take over. Investors end up getting caught up with the crowd—buying too high and then following the same crowd and selling too low.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A few *old school* publications were unconvinced and issued cautions. Apparently, the warnings were justified because the stock is now trading 40% below its issuing price.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The stock recently took another hit when a Barron’s analyst said it was still overvalued and trading far above his valuation of $15 a share. Already nervous investors sold at a rate (10%) that tripped the Nasdaq circuit breaker.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is a built in system that shields stocks from manipulation by short sellers. Sometimes called a collar, it imposes halts or restricts the prices for a stock’s short sale to avert panic selling.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This reinforces an important lesson in investing. The flashy exciting instruments rarely live up to their hype. The wealthiest investing gurus stick to *old school* industries or companies. Sure, there’s not much excitement, but if most investors are honest with themselves, they would take boring, steady, incremental growth over an over-hyped long shot any day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It’s easy to see that many investors could benefit by diversifying and taking the managed account approach. It eliminates the emotional impulse buying and selling that is fueled by fear and greed. Experienced managed account traders take the long term approach and are not looking to make a killing in a week or two or over a few months.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If this approach intrigues you, call me today at: 925-699-3451 or email me at: <a href="mailto:Andrew@OnTargetFX.com">Andrew@OnTargetFX.com</a>. We can discuss your current situation, and how a managed forex account can “bore” you with steady returns over the next 5 – 10 years while achieving your financial goals.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It just doesn&#8217;t seem that long ago that&#8230;</p>
<ol>
<li style="padding-bottom: 24px;">I was watching a 200 lbs. console TV with a rotary dial and had only<br />
four networks to watch including PBS.</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 24px;">Nobody wore seatbelts when driving anywhere.</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 24px;">There were no cell phones. My home phone had a rotary dial.</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 24px;">My first laptop computer had a 400 MB hard drive and a 33<br />
Mhz processor&#8230; and it cost me $3,000! Plus there was a REAL floppy disk!</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 24px;">All my music was on cassette tapes.</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 24px;">My home had an answering machine that used a small<br />
cassette tape that got full too often.</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 24px;">There was a locally owned drug store! Complete with a soda<br />
fountain!</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 24px;">There was no internet. No email.</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 24px;">Video Cassettes and VCR players were a must have!</li>
<li>There was no such thing as a fax machine.</li>
</ol>
<p>I could go on and on and I am sure you&#8217;ve already thought of a number<br />
of things (depending on your age) that you could easily add to<br />
the list.</p>
<p>The point is that things have changed, and in some cases they have<br />
changed dramatically.</p>
<p>One area where things have changed dramatically is investing.</p>
<p>Not only how you invest your money (whether it&#8217;s an IRA, 401(k),<br />
etc.) but also where you invest it.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s sad, but the old rules (just like my old rotary dial TV) don&#8217;t apply<br />
anymore.</p>
<p>It used to be you could put some money away each month in a safe and secure<br />
investment like the stock market, mutual funds, bonds, or even a<br />
savings account or CD, and in 20 – 30 years you would have more than<br />
enough money to do whatever you like.</p>
<p>Also, a company pension plan was involved in there somewhere too. Plus they<br />
paid for all of your health insurance.</p>
<p>Heck, those days are long gone as well.</p>
<p>You would be surprised at the number of people I talk to who took this approach<br />
to heart and today are sorely disappointed by their results.</p>
<p>By what they have&#8230; right now.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, this nostalgic approach just doesn&#8217;t work anymore.</p>
<p>We are in a new economy.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t necessarily like all of these changes anymore than the next guy,<br />
but it IS a reality.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s terrible to spend 25 to 30 years working hard for something only to end up<br />
disappointed as to where you&#8217;re at financially.</p>
<p>A question I get from a lot of people is &#8220;Why should I get involved with you?<br />
Why get involved with your managed forex accounts?&#8221;</p>
<p>Well, mainly because of reasons I just mentioned above&#8230; that&#8217;s why.</p>
<p>We are in an economic world where a different approach is needed. A world<br />
where you need not just one&#8230; but two, three, four or even more ways to make<br />
a profit from your investments.</p>
<p>That way you have uncorrelated returns. I believe that over time (like many of<br />
my clients) your highest percentage will be in managed forex accounts.</p>
<p>The message should be twice as strong concerning your tax deferred accounts as<br />
well. Today you can also diversify your IRA and 401k (or European equivalent) into<br />
managed forex accounts. 10 years ago this was unheard of.</p>
<p>Again those changes&#8230;</p>
<p>Dreaming about how it &#8216;used to be&#8217; isn&#8217;t going to get you anywhere investment<br />
wise. If you&#8217;ve been getting my emails for awhile and continue to think that you<br />
should reconsider your investment options, it&#8217;s probably a sign that you should call me<br />
at: 925-699-3451 or email me at: <a href="mailto:Andrew@OnTargetFX.com">Andrew@OnTargetFX.com</a> and have a frank<br />
discussion about your situation and what you need to do to achieve your financial<br />
goals over the next 5 – 10 years.</p>
<p>You will probably find, like so many others before you, that I have the investment<br />
antidote to what is ailing you. There is never any obligation or high pressure.<br />
I don&#8217;t work that way.</p>
<p>There are many things that I treasure from the past and wish were still around, but<br />
times have changed, and so has the way you need to approach your investments in<br />
order to create the wealth that you deserve.</p>
<p>Providing you great investment alternatives that continue to achieve solid, consistent<br />
returns in spite of the current economy!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s one of my neighbor&#8217;s morning rituals and probably one of<br />
the most boring.</p>
<p>The newspaper typically arrives in our neighborhood around 5:30am.<br />
Because most of my clients are on the other side of the world, I<br />
tend to be an early riser.</p>
<p>On a typical day, about the time I&#8217;m finishing my 5K run and getting<br />
ready to down my protein shake, my neighbor has a hot cup of<br />
coffee in one hand and the newspaper in the other, ready to start his<br />
morning ritual.</p>
<p>Lets just say for a number of years he&#8217;s been doing a good job at<br />
keeping the paper recycling business busy.</p>
<p>My personal opinion has been that the newspaper industry as a whole<br />
has started to slowly fade away, especially with the advent of the<br />
internet and getting your news online in a flash&#8230; and also from<br />
various other sources like twitter, facebook, etc.</p>
<p>My opinion: Newspapers = old and boring. Internet = new and exciting.</p>
<p>So why has one of the smartest investors known to man just<br />
invested over $140 million and loaned an additional $400 million to<br />
Media General Inc. &#8211; owner of 60 plus newspapers around the country?</p>
<p>Obviously Buffet is no dummy and wouldn&#8217;t be putting up this kind<br />
of money (even though it&#8217;s probably small change to him at this<br />
point) for a boring newspaper business.</p>
<p>Unless&#8230;</p>
<p>There was money to be made in this boring industry.</p>
<p>This pretty much typifies Buffet anyway. I mean he&#8217;s not going to<br />
invest to lose money.</p>
<p>And really, if you take a look at Buffet&#8217;s investments, the vast majority<br />
amount to investment in the boring:</p>
<ul style="list-style: none;">
<li style="padding-bottom: 35px;">American Express</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 35px;">Coca Cola</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 35px;">Banks</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 35px;">Furniture Stores</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 35px;">Utility Companies</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 35px;">Kraft</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 35px;">Johnson and Johnson</li>
<li>See&#8217;s Candies</li>
</ul>
<p>&#8230;and of course many others including the newspaper purchase. He<br />
has also purchased other newspapers over the last few years.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t see much in the way of FLASH in these investments.<br />
No new internet IPO&#8217;s or large tech holdings. Most of what Buffet<br />
has, has had, and has made his shareholders a ton of money with,<br />
have one thing in common -</p>
<p>BORING!</p>
<p>This very idea is what has made investing in proven, reliable forex<br />
managed accounts so attractive, and admittedly so profitable.<br />
Sure, to the outsider forex trading sounds exciting and new, but once<br />
you are a client you&#8217;ll see it&#8217;s just “boring” steady gains.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s what &#8220;not following the crowd&#8221; investing does &#8211; it creates<br />
opportunities &#8211; because it&#8217;s boring and because you are not following<br />
the crowd.</p>
<p>These people who follow the crowd usually get in when the price is<br />
too high and sell when the price is too low. When there is no crowd<br />
being followed it&#8217;s the boring investments that produce better and<br />
more consistently than those with a lot of flash.</p>
<p>Your motto for the rest of the week, heck for the rest of your<br />
Investment Life should be:</p>
<p>Go Ahead, Bore Me!</p>
<p>This outlook and philosophy pays off in many ways; more money, more consistent returns and better off financially in the long term than what the crowd is doing.</p>
<p>If there&#8217;s one thing Buffet is good at, it&#8217;s NOT following the crowds.</p>
<p>And neither should you….. the time to start your boring investment life<br />
is right now.</p>
<p>Providing you boring, yet profitable returns that the crowds have no idea<br />
about &#8211; even in this economy.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Maybe you’ve heard the news about PFG, Peregrine Financial Group?</p>
<p>The company is run by a guy named Russell Wasendorf, Sr.<br />
and is missing over $200,000,000.</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s two hundred million!</p>
<p>It’s pretty evident to me what happened here.  Either:</p>
<p>1.  Wasendorf was spending his clients money on his personal<br />
lifestyle (or family and friends, etc.) and did it over a number of years.</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>2.  He used client money to cover bad commodity investment<br />
decisions which turned out to lose even more money.  You know<br />
how this scenario goes (it never ends well); Guy bets two million of client</p>
<p>money on a commodity and loses the money.  Then, goes back</p>
<p>in with more money to get the money back he already lost……..<br />
………..Only to lose that money too.</p>
<p>And it goes on and on.</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>3.  Combination of both.</p>
<p>Plus Wasendorf just recently tried to take his life as well.</p>
<p>When the guy tries to do himself in you know he has not<br />
been a good boy.</p>
<p>In his suicide note he admitted he stole over 100 million:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/ceo_of_troubled_iowa_brokerage_arrested_m0YI4nz1i752RYktidzU0M">http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/ceo_of_troubled_iowa_brokerage_arrested_m0YI4nz1i752RYktidzU0M</a></p>
<p>If you haven’t already done so, I URGE you to watch my</p>
<p>video and read my article entitled “Banks vs. Brokers”.</p>
<p>Especially if you’re currently trading with <span style="text-decoration: underline;">any</span> forex broker:</p>
<p><a href="http://ontargetfx.com/banks-vs-brokers-video/">http://ontargetfx.com/banks-vs-brokers-video/</a></p>
<p><a href="http://ontargetfx.com/banks-vs-brokers/">http://ontargetfx.com/banks-vs-brokers/</a></p>
<p>If you were with PFG, then you now understand first hand</p>
<p>exactly what I was talking about.</p>
<p>Why put yourself through the risk using a forex broker?</p>
<p>So, we’ve had an interesting string of these kinds of<br />
events with:</p>
<p>1.  Madoff<br />
2.  MF Global<br />
3.  JP Morgan 2 Billion Loss<br />
4.  Two Hundred Plus Million With PFG.</p>
<p>Does ANYONE believe we’ve seen<br />
the end of it in the US?</p>
<p>Of course not!</p>
<p>That’s why ALL of my clients and traders</p>
<p>are with a Swiss Bank.</p>
<p>Bank.</p>
<p>Not broker.</p>
<p>In case you didn’t know this interesting historical fact,</p>
<p>no Swiss Bank has ever gone bankrupt.  Even if they did</p>
<p>go bankrupt, the first 100k of your deposit is fully</p>
<p>guaranteed (not against trading losses, but against bank failure).</p>
<p>There’s a reason why Switzerland is known for its banking.</p>
<p>They’ve been doing it longer than most countries</p>
<p>have been in existence…. including America.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A couple days ago an online newsletter said:</p>
<p>“JP Morgan’s costly error was the result of<br />
“reaching for yield,” just like retirees all over the<br />
world are doing. When traditional fixed income<br />
securities like Treasuries and Time Deposits/CD’s provide</p>
<p>almost no yield whatsoever, the only remaining option is to<br />
“reach” into riskier markets to try to find some kind of yield.”</p>
<p>But we beg to differ…</p>
<p>That is, my traders, investors and I.</p>
<p>Because we’re not “reaching” for pie-in-the-sky promises,<br />
or just “hoping harder.”</p>
<p>We’re not trying to “attract” wealth with a lot of positive<br />
thinking and reaching for the “air” that Wall Street delivers.</p>
<p>We prefer proven track records, traded at a secure bank.</p>
<p>I could go on and on, but I just got back from a week of meetings</p>
<p>in Switzerland and need to prepare the June performance reports for</p>
<p>you to view.</p>
<p>You will like what you see.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wrecking balls aren’t used much anymore.</p>
<p>They were popular before the advent of<br />
blasting charges, which can be used to make<br />
a building “implode.”</p>
<p>Of course, implode means collapsing INWARD,<br />
which limits collateral damage.</p>
<p>But a wrecking ball has a mind of its own.</p>
<p>It’s hard to control a massive, swinging<br />
chunk of iron, weighing up to 12,000 pounds.</p>
<p>In my line of work, I’ve seen a lot of folks who’ve<br />
been whacked by the “investment wrecking ball”…</p>
<p>…and never recovered.</p>
<p>They tried playing the stock/forex markets, or</p>
<p>real estate markets, and got slammed so<br />
hard their lives were a pile of rubble…with<br />
collateral damage all over the place.</p>
<p>But the real damage occurred in their HEADS…</p>
<p>Their THINKING imploded and now they try to</p>
<p>hide in investments that really shouldn’t be<br />
called “investments”…</p>
<p>They’re really just glorified “savings accounts”<br />
if they return only 1 or 1.5%.</p>
<p>AND THERE’S STILL RISK!</p>
<p>What’s the point of a pitiful return WITH risk?</p>
<p>Especially when I have double-digit managed</p>
<p>Forex investments with LESS risk than many</p>
<p>Investments returning 1 and 2%.</p>
<p>They’re perfect for shell-shocked investors<br />
who’ve gone a few rounds with the Wall Street<br />
wrecking ball.</p>
<p>My program is NO work, NO self trading, NO</p>
<p>learning curve and NO stress.</p>
<p>That’s why so many people dabble with self trading<br />
…they want the control and big returns…<br />
but they don’t realize there’s a way to have it<br />
ALL…without the hassles.</p>
<p>It is possible to get the best of both worlds…</p>
<p>Hassle-free trading, full transparency, full</p>
<p>liquidity, and the safety and security of dealing</p>
<p>with a bank (instead of broker).</p>
<p>Check out the performance of my traders<br />
and see why you might NOT want to invest in<br />
nearly anything else:</p>
<p>My managed accounts are a perfect REFUGE<br />
for traumatized investors.</p>
<p>They’re a fortified cement bunker against the investment<br />
wrecking ball…even in THIS economy.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It hasn&#8217;t been since June 10,<br />
1978 that<br />
you saw this much hoopla in<br />
the world<br />
of horse racing and its<br />
beloved Triple Crown.</p>
<p>A horse by the name of &#8216;I&#8217;ll Have Another&#8217;<br />
is close to making horse racing history.</p>
<p>Horse racing&#8217;s triple crown is made up of three<br />
races that take place about three &#8211; four weeks<br />
apart: The Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and<br />
the Belmont Stakes.</p>
<p>If a horse wins all three of these in a row they<br />
win the triple crown and go down as one of the greatest horses in<br />
the world of horse racing.</p>
<p>The interesting thing is in the history of horse<br />
racing there have only been 11 triple crown<br />
winners and this dates as far back as the<br />
early 1900&#8242;s.</p>
<p>It was 1978 that the world of horse racing saw<br />
their last triple crown winner.</p>
<p>The horses name was Affirmed and the jockeys<br />
name was Steve Cauthen.</p>
<p>Yep, it&#8217;s been about 34 years since there has been<br />
a real winner with only 11 in the history of the sport<br />
and possibly 12 by the time the Belmont Stakes<br />
is run in June.</p>
<p>But if history of this sport has taught us anything it is that the<br />
odds are not good that I&#8217;ll Have Another<br />
will win the triple crown. There have been 19<br />
horses that have won the first two races but failed<br />
to win the third and capture the triple crown.</p>
<p>Imagine if this were the case when it came to your<br />
investing? Over an almost 100 year period having so few<br />
that turned out to be absolute winners?</p>
<p>That would be no way to build any kind of a nest egg for<br />
yourself. Not the way you would want it and certainly not<br />
what you deserve either.</p>
<p>What would be great is if you could consistently beat those<br />
odds and have a triple crown winner almost every year.</p>
<p>Have your own horse in the race and that horse would be<br />
a triple crown favorite year after year.</p>
<p>Hundreds of happy investors around the world have been</p>
<p>working with me over the years</p>
<p>have had their very own triple crown winners &#8211; their very own</p>
<p>horse in the investment race to the types of returns, cash flows</p>
<p>and wealth that make defying the odds routine.</p>
<p>Of course those &#8216;horses&#8217; that I am referring to are their very<br />
own forex managed accounts.</p>
<p>Winners that don&#8217;t just win once in every<br />
34 years or so but win year after year. Just check</p>
<p>the performance records on my site.</p>
<p>Which is also the good news about investing with my traders.</p>
<p>YOU don&#8217;t have to follow horseracing to invest<br />
intelligently and safely (a LOT more intelligently and safely</p>
<p>than a lot of those betting on those races).</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve burned the midnight oil, done the due diligence, and made<br />
the stupid mistakes (years ago)&#8230;so YOU don&#8217;t have to.</p>
<p>And the smartest thing YOU can do right now?</p>
<p>Call me about my 3 traders amazing performance in<br />
May and this year. Then compare that to all your<br />
other investments.</p>
<p>So if your CD&#8217;s and money markets and the roller coaster<br />
stock market and metals markets are driving you<br />
to despair&#8230;don&#8217;t envy us, join us!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve got the safe, solid, even &#8220;boring&#8221; way to earn<br />
double digit returns.</p>
