This Thursday’s complimentary emergency briefing may well be the single most timely and crucial event you’ll attend this year.
The simple truth is, we saw this crisis coming and began warning you two full years in advance.
We urged you to dump your stock in GM, Fannie Mae, Washington Mutual and our nation’s largest banks before they plunged as much as 90% in value.
Every step of the way, we’ve urged you to consider contrarian investments that skyrocket when stocks plunge.
And every step of the way, Washington and Wall Street scoffed at our warnings.
Now, even as the debt crisis that triggered this great bear market continues to grow more severe, politicians and brokers desperately want you to believe that the recent bear market rally in stocks signals the end of the crisis.
Are they right?
Or are they WRONG AGAIN?
Everything you’ve earned in a lifetime of work and investment could depend on getting the answer to this all-important question.
That’s why I’m hosting our must-attend emergency briefing THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW — to make sure you have the answers you need to make better investment choices in the weeks and months ahead: Frank, honest, unhedged answers completely untainted by Washington or Wall Street spinmeisters.
In this emergency event, we’re going to make absolutely sure you have everything you need to confidently protect your wealth and profit.
THE DATE: This Thursday, May 21
THE TIME: Noon, Eastern Time
(9:00 AM Pacific, 5 PM GMT)

HEADS UP: Bear Market Windfalls Ahead! Precisely how this bear market gives you hundreds of opportunities to make money more quickly than virtually any bull market. Six types of investments that make that possible immediately.

Would you kindly clarify the US Treasury Bill Money Market accounts – many have a mix of other things such as Government Agency Securities – which look like bonds. Should the mix be a certain % of US Tbills?
Also, will the Thursday meeting be available after the live event for those of us that may not be able to break away from work?
I love your book – great practical advice.
Thanks –
Deb Phillips
Dear Mr. Weiss,
I am a widow as of July/2006. I went to work for a company that uses temp services for their work force. My contract ran out this past April and I am now unemployed. I am trying to make it on SS but I am not fairing so well. I have no savings and I am living from check to check(bearly) and this is only the first month after contract end. I have yet to receive my unemployment funds.What can I do?
Sincerely,Deborah Barnett
I bought DXD 2500 share average price 49.88 In next month what is future of that stock. I appreiciate if share your opinion
Thank You

Will the webinar be taped and posted on your website?
What is going to happen to gold in this very instable environment?
Once again, thanks!
any chance you could do this emergency briefing at another time as well. This Thursday at noon I have another committment.
The positive (bogus) spin on the economy is so blatantly obvious, I can hardly watch the news. All I can say is I’m sitting tight in cash. I cannot believe the media and DC (the Ministry of Truth) put a positive spin on the Lowe’s numbers. Cramer (I watch him occasionally just to see what stupidity comes out of his mouth) went on to say this morning that Lowe’s numbers suggested a bottom to the housing mess. What???? Where do those particular numbers say that? Yes, there is an increase in home sales here in Arizona, but you can now buy a brand new 2000 sqft home for under 70K (stucco, chickenwire, and styrofoam), so investors and the like are coming out snapping them up. Of course, most of those homes are 35 to 50 miles away from downtown Phoenix, so who wants to live there. They are also located in areas where you are likely to find a drop house next door. Yes, prices are coming down from ridiculous levels in Scottsdale as well, but the average Arizonan still can’t afford the reduced prices. And there are still no jobs and salaries are being lowballed ridiculously for professional level positions (almost 50% in some instances).
Please discuss the use of FAS, FAZ, TBT and TLT. Also please, what is the mechanism that causes some 2x and 3x ultrashorts to fail to follow the underlying securities?
When employing options, what do you suggest as a prudent (max) loss limit?
Thank you, Jerry
Hi Martin ~ I have been reading your material sent over email but am afraid to make a move towards anything. I want to be smart with my little money! I have only $150K to my name (not .5K) and I assume because of the little amount that i should not be fooling around with investments in the stock market. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Sandra
Could you create a way for small ($1,000 to $5,000) investors to participate in the Contrarian fund? At this time the fees are too large to allow for small investors to participate. Could fees for small investors be proportional to the investment? As it is the large investor pays almost nothing proportionally. Since there is no additional cost to you, why not allow for many small investors to participate? You would profit by it and so would we. I am very interested in what you are doing but cannot afford to invest much.
Please talk about insurance companies. How to investigate their soundness?
Example: How safe is a commercial insurance policy with Lloyds of London?
I have the exact same situation as Sandra. Ditto on any suggestions?
Thank You!
Hugh
Do you think the next leg down in the bear market will occur in 2009? When it occurs, do you believe it will pull down all commodities, gold, gold miners, and silver? Do you recommend selling all gold, or hedging?
I am leaning toward gold and/or gold coins do you think they are a good strategy based on the future issues the economy is facing?
Dr Weiss
The one thing that bothers me is that the market (DOW) has bounced all the way back from 6500 to its present level of 8500 in spite of all the bad news. Am I missing something?
God bless.
Jerry Kelleher
Hello Martin.
Please give us some idea on when we should expect the next leg down. Should we sell our inverse ETFs on the next leg down? We are massively down on most of them.
Thank you again for your efforts to confront the Washington and thank you for the great book.
How much longer till we’re living like Zimbabwae with hyper inflation ? How much longer can Obama, Timmy and the Fed. continue selling us on “The Kings New Clothes” ?
Will you indicate if the recommends you give can be applied by UK citizens? thanks
Your thoughts on possible confiscation of “gold coins” and what is your approach.
Where should our cash be held if it is going to be in a banking institution and should
offshore banking be utilized. IRA’s, if some is parked in money markets ( while not
in the market ) we have to recognize that most of the Mutual fund companies have
sent out supplement disclosures noting there is no guarantee on maintaining $ 1.00
value, which means they have some types of derivatives, cdo’s, etc. What do we do.
Thanks,
Jim
I, unlike your father, am an invalid, though I still have $500.00 cash to start over again.
Your book just arrived however, having lost almost all last year, it appears that I could use your help to rebuild a little nest egg, if for nothing else, to leave behind to those I care about. Might you consider a step by step set up, of a tiny account that might blossom to a moderate windfall for ones survivors? Thank you for your consideration.
Hi Martin,
Just a quick request for some Canadian content in your information huddle. I love what you are doing and the information you are giving is timely, but as a Canadian investor, I ask, what are some of the concerns I should be aware of regarding Canadian banks and other sectors of investment, especially property values with regard to commercial and residential holdings.
Bless you, David
The one thing that is most important, even vital, is to tell how one who has modest currency can act with foreign currency in the related foreign countries.
Due to recent unemployment, I do not have the money to participate in your latest investment strategy. Could you recommend an alternative for those of us who are interested in growing every cent we can from our savings/investments, but, who are on a very tight budget.

Are there other places in the world to invest in, such as Brazil, whose economy and debt situation seem to be much better than in the U.S.? Or will the collapse of our economy eventually affect these other countries, too?
What are the best ideas you have seen in creating a passive income, devoting 10-20 hours per week?

Is investing in a annuity with a sound insurance company wise at this time? Thank You ….Kerry Carlin
I deeply Respect the opinions and integrity of Martin Weiss and Larry Edelson.
Each of you have a differing view of where the current markets are heading at least
for the shorter term. (perhaps 30 days out or more) I am sitting on Gold stocks and cash at this time. I have entered the markets 3 times over the past 45 days with broad market bear etf’s only to sell them as my (short term) better judgement felt it to soon. I could not stand the losses nor the opportunity to buy these etf’s at a cheaper price at a future date. So far being in cash and gold has proven prudent. The day to sell short will arrive, but the question looms very heavy, when? Martin, are you able to address the most critical question as to when we might see this next down leg? I read your blogs and can relate to investors who may have bought too soon into bear etf’s and are most likely not sleeping so well with the losses (at least at this time) they have taken.Their day will most likely come, hopefully sooner rather than later. I know that picking a top or a bottom of a market trend can be a most difficult one, especially when we have so many lies being spun to try and keep this market buoyant when there is no real substance except blatant deception from most of the so called “in the know”.
All the Best!
hi martin i have been reading your emails over a year now i am not american iam australian /british but i do feel that what ever happens will affect us all i am i cash but i am trying to find out what to do as most of my money is in australia thank martin
Martin, What does a person do if they have a variable annuity with a guaranteed income and are limited to investments like money market funds, which the fees are more than the investment income or investments like PIMCO ultra short bond fund or short duration bond funds ect. that are investing in short term corp. bonds among other things that you have warned us against. Those of us in this situation are stuck between a rock and a hard spot. God Bless, Harv.
I am thinking of taking my pension cash out this summer at age 57.
I will have to start to draw the money immediately to live on so,
Is it better to pay off all debts and mortgage and pay tax penalty, or keep cash in rollover accounts to pay fixed mtg at low rate?
And where should I put the balance of funds?
Hi Martin:
I am 80 years old and not a bit worried about my wife or myself. I have two children and no grand children.
I have lost on just about every stock i ever bought .
I now have 150.000 in cash in a safty deposit box , 65.ooo in an IRA in CDs and another 65.000 in CDS.
I will never invest a dime in the market because my wife whom I love very much won’t let me. I ask you where can I put the cash. The bank is a 5 star bank but I still don’t feel very good about having the cash just sitting there. I am afraid of the CDs so as they become due I will put the mony in the box. I don’t expect you to give me an answer , I read every that you send out. Thank you and thank you again for the good nights sleep that I get because of you. Peace be with you always.

Dear Martin,
As a potential investor, I am very interested in helping myself get into a better financial situation. You are a wonderful person trying to help others improve their financial health. I need your help very much. I want to take the risk however my lack of experience and confidence is considerable. As much as possible I want to take your recommendations but I find it tough to follow through with them. I am inexperienced but intelligent. Can you be very specific when you make your recommendations. I think you do a good job already in this area, but the more clarification the better. I am just greatful for a person like you who is also keeping in touch with your readers. I hate to say that I am one of the “little guys” that need your input the most.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
Martin,
A new list of top 10 best and worst insurance companies, banks.
Thank you, Bob
What do expect to happen to “money market” acounts if we have another steep leg down in the S&P 500. Will they remain safe?
Martin,
I agree with you, but we all need to know when? Will the market crash in August like it has in the past, or will it be as late as October? Obama and the rest of his clowns are so unpredictable we really don’t know what to expect next.
Harold W. Smith
should i hang on to my natural resource plays through the next downleg? nice gains in recent trades of uranium and nat gas plays. should i sell my peyto energy trust for a 50%+ gains in a couple of months…… have a great day…….rst
Martin,
One other question. Mexico will run out of oil within the next year unless they do something, and we import a lot of oil from them. Our own reserves are being depleated faster than we are replacing them since drillling has been sharply curtailed. Will oil company and oilfield service companies’ stocks take the same plunge?
Harold W. Smith
Martin,
Is there anyone on earth who is either powerful enough or smart enough to have orchestrated this global meltdown??? and If so for what purpose?
can you please tell me what the GPB/EUR and GPB/AUS will look like at september 2009.
many thanx

i am a beginner and need to know what is a good investment now to get started. i have only limited funds available. please help…..
I’m in charge of my quadriplegic mothers estate. Needless to say, the responsibility of having her livelihood on my shoulders (only daughter) is daunting but I’m happy to have her with us and intent on preserving her safety net. The money is currently in Bank of America’s mutual fund. The manager convinced me that I wasn’t making any interest by having it in a simple checking account. The dollars are roughly 100k so we’re not talking millions here. In your opinion, other than under my mattress, where would be the SAFEST place to park her cash?
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I am registered to listen to your seminar
You know Martin I learned a LONG time ago you can NOT make money following the CROWD (which most investors do). And the crowd now is turning BULLISH on the market, banks, economy etc………. Which is INSANE!!!!! Keep up the good work buddy.
Norm
I am what you call a small, first time investor. I read your emails and wonder if I take a small part of my savings and invest it in one of your contrarian suggestions I could maybe make that nest egg grow enough to get through the coming financial mess. I need to know what firms or companies offer the investments you suggest? What investment companies offer the Inverse Traded Funds you so often tout? Suggestions for a beginner? I do not have a Million $ to open one of these accounts; but sure want to take advantage of this opportunity with what I can afford.
what stock should i buy ?
need to know if i should sell florida home to move to michigan home both are paid for and i have no debt, would like to take advantage of your insights but need the equity from the house. am unemployed in fl for last 7 months wife has job which just meets monthly needs. so i not sure if i should sell even for a loss at this time and recoup the loss by investing in other areas. thanks
I’m concerned about our money market accounts and IRA’s and need to know exactly what to do to protect what we have left. My agent recommends leaving everything as is of course but I’m afraid he’s brainwashed by ‘the crowd’. I’m reading your book now and it’s full of great stuff but I’m not sure exactly what I need to do. Looking forward to Thursdays conference. God Bless!
To Jim Duzick: the one who is powerful enough is Satan. Check out the book of Revelation. It’s all there: global crash, one world government, one currency, the whole ball of wax. Prophecy being fulfilled in our lifetime. Jesus said that when you see these things begin to happen, look up for your redemption draws nigh (Luke 21:28)…
I am a long term investor in mutual funds – (FRANKLIN/TEMPLETON & STATE FARM) and do not have a brokerage account for active trading. Based on your guidance I have moved appx. 80% of my total portfolio into MM & Bond funds, and still have 20% in equities. I am 75 years old! How can I benefit from your “programs” without an active brokerage account and without experience and immediate alertness to actively participate??
Thanks ,
Don Hardy
I keep reading disturbing reports that Congress is considering the forcible conversion of all IRA and 401K monies into “Guaranteed Savings” funds(similar to what was done in Argentina last October) that pay 3% interest, which is tantamount to confiscation. . My question is: how do I roll my IRA over into an offshore IRA that is beyond the reach of Uncle Sam? Also, how can I own gold in an offshore IRA that is likewise beyond the reach of Uncle Sam?
Dear Dr. Martin,
I have failed miserably at trying to establish an account with the US Treasury Dept.
Can you give us the instructions as “how to open an account”, with drop down menus on the far right under… much like you have the Street.com regarding checking the validity of our banking and insurance institutions?
Thank you! (I will be amazed if you are able to get through this maze of stuff.)
Again, thank YOU!
LWest
dear martin, i saved over 20,000 in my savings account with chase whats the best invested plan would you suggest for me at this time
How soon do you think interest rates will “spike upwards” ?
Or, should I just figure on staying in 13-week Treasury Bills until I croak (age 70 now) and take whatever is ‘dished out’ as far as interest goes. At my age, I’m not sure buying longer bonds (if/when interest rates spike up) would be the thing to do anyway….
Sincerely, Joseph Lewis
Can you tell me the approximate dollar amount each taxpayer forked up for the stimulus and TARP. Billions have been paid out – what is my contribution in dollars for these bailouts? Thanks.
If you could be a specific as possible about solutions, esp. pertaining to the stock market. What do you think of Life Settlements and how do we know which Life Insurance Companies are financially ok. Is that a good SAFE INVESTMENT?
Martin,
It almost feels like CNBC; Cramer, Kudlow etc. will talk this market straight up. We all agree that the economy is still going down; not improving just getting less worse?
Do you believe that the market can go down with all of the “green shoots” everyone seems to want to see and tout. What do you believe the Dow and the S&P could fall to and will it be before the summer?
Thanks for your past advice.
Larry G.
What should I be prepared to use as a medium of exchange once our paper money fails?
Gold or silver coins? How small a “denomination” is it practical to buy and where can I buy them?
i need help to make the decesion which of my stocks sell?
thank you aviva
Dear Dr. Weiss,
I’m a private investor who has been reading your issues since this crisis began, and I must tell you that at first I didn’t share the entire darnkness of your forecasts, but as long as the crisis unfolded and your predictions became real, I loose lots of money and I began to believe and I followed some of your suggestion. Now I’m out of stock market except for some Japanese stock. Question is, do you believe the US crisis you’re foreseeing will have the same impact on foreing markets, although some european and asian economists share the “green shoots” perception?. Thank you!!
I am a typical Brit’, all my eggs in property. I have no prior experience in stocks, shares, bonds or any of the other instruments you are so familiar with. My family have two investment properties and one home, all on Vancouver Island. Mortgages total about $500.00 CDN and property valued at end of 2008 at $1.8 milllion CDN. Would you sell the lot and rent plus invest in the opportunities you forecast or would you advise we take a middle road? I have no private pension and no other major assets.
Offshore, or US investments if they exist, that will protect assets from money grabbing Obama bureaucrats. We worked many years to accumulate an amount that may barely get us through the balance of life in some healthy fashion – it cannot be the law to steal it away for support of those who do not labor, nor to support corporate crime. Thank you.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR FINANCIAL “FORECASTS”,
“EXPLANATIONS”, “WARNINGS”, and “SUGGESTIONS ~ !!
I AM MAINLY “STRUGGLING” WITH A “FAIRLY – LATE” DECISION RE: WHETHER or NOT TO “BUY GOLD OR SILVER” COINS, OR BULLION … (IF EVEN STILL “AVAILABLE”) ~ for “ASSET PRESERVATION” ~ !! DO YOU THINK the GOV’T. WOULD “CONFISCATE” GOLD …. (as the NATION’S “INDEBTEDNESS” GETS EVEN “WORSE” ….. and ….. we find ourselves in such DOMESTIC & INTERNATIONAL “DIRE STRAITS”) ~ ??
With the US close to bankruptcy (or perhaps already bankrupt) what does this mean exactly. Is there a way to pay off this current and accumulating debt? I saw a list of the largest debtor nations and the US is 15th on that list with Ireland leading the way at 800% of GDP, that seems an impossible task. The States was far lower and has had this debt/GDP ratio before (just after WWII). What makes this different? Is there a point when a country becomes officially bankrupt? and if so what does that look like?
I’m a Brit, living in England with no investments currently in USA or dollars. What would you recommend, if anything, for my readily available cash please?
I have tried to play the options after extensive training, but have been very unsuccessful.
I win a few and lose a lot. Can you advise some pretty solid plays without investing a lot of money…because I have lost most all them money I had available to invest? I am retired and have lost most of my retirement money, but still stay dedicated to options.
Hi Martin, one quick question – does Claus recommend FAZ?
many thanks
Martin,
I am and have been for many months an avid Brit absorber of yours and your colleagues excellent and accurate articles and advice. Your book on surviving the market is most helpful and has been recommended to many friends and colleagues.
However I feel a little frustrated being ‘anchored’ in the UK and therefore uncertain as to whether I could react effectively to specific and urgent advice given under your subscription services. Any suggestions?
Thanks. Richard
Martin,
You recommend the use of inverse ETF’s to protect against / profit fom falling markets. I owned commodity ETF’s previously and found that when AIG failed that I could not sell them even though I had not bought them through AIG and still don’t really understand their part in underwriting them. For a while it looked like I would lose all of my investment even though the underlying commodities were a good bet – only the government bailout saved me. How can I ensure that I don’t get caught like this again?
Ed
As an Aussie, I am curious to know if you believe that our financial situation will be as severe as ehst your are anticipating for the US?
Martin,
Q: Do I continue or bail out of money and markets? I am sure the answer to this question is wrapped up in the answer to my next;
I am a UK investor. Following M&M advise and buying UK stock is leaving me exposed to changes in FX rates and with recent changes the net value is getting hammered.
Q: Can you provide advise of UK based equivalent stock in your “buy alerts” so I am not exposed to this FX risk. I am sure there are many other non-US participants that would like to know this.
Thanks
Martin,
Thank you for all your wonderful advice!
I missed the May 21, 2009 conference, is it archived somewhere? Thanks!
Bonny
hi martin
we have physical gold and oz coins in australia how do we sell it in US$ coz gold platinu,m etc are paying better in US$ can you broker adeal etc etc
Hi,
You know the economic situation looks bleak. Are you going to have one of these seminars again or can we listen to it another way? I want to be able to protect my family and children. Are you thinking that the market will collapse again even worse than now which I think is possible. they are trying to bring people back into the market but to me it is like one great grand ponzie scheme. Also, I think we just had a communist coup d’etat of the United States of America and may be on the verge of the next revolution as things get much worse than now. So do you think the next collapse will come from commercial real estate or have they been able to put that off for awhile longer? thank you, just when read these and many other intelligent people are very concerned abou the future of our country and most are ignorant about the consequences of our government policies. But when America catches a cold, other nations catch the flu. Thank you, Donna
Until last midweek circumstanses held me back from geting onto your path of actions. In the few days since however, I nearly doubled my total input using your wise divisions. PLEASE STAY THE COURSE.
I’m hoping that your webcast will be able to be seen after the event, as it is closed as I write. I will hate to miss it!
Mr.Weiss-I still have 60 shares of SKF( Inverse Financial stock) which has gone down in value considerably.Do I hang on to it or sell at a loss? I was ill at the time when I should have sold it and didn’t get it done.I have several other inverse stocks in other areas such as:SSG,DUG,REW,SCC and SRS.Should I hold them or sell them? I am concerned about the losing value of the dollar and the replacement of the dollar by another currency. Somehow could you answer my questions in Safe Money Report or on the video or on my e-mail address:jesussaves@swbell.net? Thank you for the consideration of my request. Sincerely-Gloria Austin
I just heard a good one this morning on Nation Public Radio. The government is now referring to the “toxic” assets that has caused much trouble in the financial sector as “legacy” assets so that it doesn’t sound as bad. The radio segment mentioned that they (government) does this for many other subjects for the same reason. I’d like to see a web site that tracks these kinds of changes so that the unsuspecting knows what the real truth is. Do you have an opinion on this? What should they really be called?
