Score Huge on This After eight long years, a deep insider from Wall business... while making you $105,187 richer... starting five days from now... Dear Reader, Starting just days from now, the intelligence you're about to discover could literally put one of Wall Street's biggest investment banks "out of business"... And make you $105,187 richer in the process... In fact, not only could it bring down this bank... it could affect the bottom line at more than 12 similar institutions when this news hits the mainstream. And trust me... they deserve what's coming. For years, Wall Street's biggest banks have been quietly bilking thousands of retail clients out of billions of dollars. If you have any money invested in 401(k) plans... mutual funds... or even regular stocks... you're probably falling victim to this money-sucking scheme right now. (I'll show you exactly how in just a moment.) But here's the good news... After eight years of putting together his case, a former insider from this bank - with $1.7 trillion in client assets and offices in 40 countries around the world - is finally "blowing the whistle." And once this intelligence hits the streets...
If you think this all sounds rather hard to believe, I can understand. But please take a few moments to read this letter. When you're done, you'll see exactly how Wall Street's latest game works... and learn how to protect yourself while pocketing an extra $105,187 starting just five days from now... "Why I returned Wall Street's hush money..." Eight years ago, one of the top producers at one of Wall Street's richest investment banks - among the world's biggest, in fact - was riding high. Assigned to the bank's high-net-worth accounts, Alexander Green watched his clients getting richer by the day (and of course, he was doing pretty well, too). But something was wrong... As he climbed the ladder, he slowly began to uncover the systematic method the bank was using to sap huge sums from its hapless customers every single day - the so-called "Mom and Pop" investors like you and me.Their "Hidden Fee" Scam Revealed! It wasn't just that execs were pushing Alex - unsuccessfully - to recommend stocks for the wrong reasons (mainly to secure investment banking business with the recommended companies and thus line their pockets with fat bonuses). This bank was doing something even more insidious and damaging to its clients' long-term financial health: Soaking them with a system of hidden fees that sapped millions, even billions, from their accounts every year. With actively managed funds, for example, clients were forced to pay the usual management and expense fees...the ones they actually tell you about.
First, there were hush-hush commissions on transactions, soaring into the millions, and coming right out of investors' pockets. Then there were the "bid-ask" spreads the funds lost money on when trading massive volumes (costing you 5% or more in some cases!). But perhaps worst of all were the "market impact" costs. Here's how it works...How They're Really Using YOUR Hard-Earned Money Let's say you own Mutual Fund X. One day, the fund manager gets word from his higher-ups that it's time to load up on a certain company's stock. The boss's motive: To attract that company's future investment-banking business and the mountain of fees that comes along with it. So the fund manager takes YOUR money and starts buying up huge chunks of the stock (which may or may not be a good investment to begin with)... In order to buy in bulk, he must bid up the price all along the way. Insiders at the company get rich as the price climbs. The fund manager gets rich (charging you fees). And the bank execs get rich from the investment banking business down the road! Meanwhile, you're getting screwed. They're using YOUR hard-earned money, paying more than original market value for their targeted shares... and the stock might be a dog in the first place! Never one to keep quiet when his clients' assets were being put at risk, Alex made his opinions known. And then he did the unthinkable.An Investing Revolution Begins... Completely disillusioned, he walked away from that cushy job. In the process, he returned several hundred thousands dollars in bonus money. But in the aftermath of this life-altering decision, Alex set out on a mission to help regular investors break free from Wall Street once and for all. And for that, he began developing a revolutionary investment strategy:
After months of intense research, Alex had created a portfolio unlike any he had seen in his decades of experience. Although it was simple enough for a seventh-grader to understand and use, it began doubling the S&P 500 right out of the gate - with far less risk than being fully invested in stocks!
Now, for the very first time, Alex is revealing the exact portfolio to you... in his brand-new book called The Gone Fishin' Portfolio: Get Wise, Get Wealthy... And Get On with Your Life... The product of an eight-year odyssey and more than 20 years in the investing trenches, Alex's book doesn't just talk theory; it delivers the goods, right down to the exact investments that make up his proprietary Gone Fishin' Portfolio itself. So what is this portfolio exactly?
Once you get the portfolio in place, you'll harness the most profitable investments in the marketplace without taking on an iota of unnecessary risk. Once a year, you simply tweak the portfolio as Alex recommends, and that's it! You'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you're doing it on your own... Using nothing more than this ingeniously designed portfolio, you'll enjoy years of low-risk, market-beating performance for years to come. You'll slash your overall portfolio risk. (No wonder the principle behind the portfolio even won the Nobel Prize in Economics.) And you'll cut the Wall Street sharks off from their favorite food supply: you! Not only that, you'll have a blast reading the book itself!"A Declaration of Independence for All Investors" Alex starts by showing you exactly how Wall Street has been sapping investors dry all these years. (There are secrets discussed that could put his former bank out of business forever.) He then lays out the perfect solution: The Gone Fishin' Portfolio itself. Along the way, Alex reveals 234 pages chock full of secrets for maximizing both your investment returns... and your free time (perhaps the most precious asset we have). Some examples...
Spend one afternoon with Alex's debut book and you'll see why I call it a "declaration of independence for investors"... whether you're just starting out, still in the building phases, or already rich. In fact, some of the world's wealthiest and most powerful investors have been quietly "beta testing" The Gone Fishin' Portfolio... and the results have been exactly as advertised...
