On Thursday, August 13, I am holding Weiss Research’s first-ever global forum, bringing together our top experts for an international video conference.
Our mission: To explore with you a wide range of new global profit opportunities (and pitfalls) for the balance of 2009 and beyond.
It will be a monumental 1-hour video event — all with no commercial interruptions or promotions of any kind.
It is absolutely free with no strings attached — our gift to make sure you get candid, unhedged answers to the most crucial questions you have about your investments right now.
Indeed, the prospects of everything you earn, own and invest in depends on getting the answers to these critical questions:
-
The U.S. housing market appears to be stabilizing. Does this mean the crisis is really over? What’s the truth behind all the rosy projections you’re seeing in the news? Are they right?
-
The long-term outlook in the U.S. seems dismal at best. So why do the economy and stock market seem to be temporarily defying gravity? How long could this bear market rally continue? What will be the next shoe to fall?
-
China’s economy and stock market are booming again. Why? How long could it last? Which investments offer you the simplest way to harness the profit opportunities in China and the rest of Asia?
-
Oil, gold and other natural resources seem to be on a dizzying roller-coaster ride. When will a long-term trend emerge? How can you stake your claim to substantial profits going forward?
At this first-ever Weiss Global Forum, our top experts from the U.S. and around the world will give you the answers you need now.
This briefing is so crucial to your investment success in the months ahead, I’m hosting it myself, from my headquarters here in Jupiter, Florida.
-
I’ll ask Mike Larson, our real estate and banking specialist, whether or not the U.S. housing disaster is over or not.
-
Claus Vogt of the Million-Dollar Contrarian Portfolio will join us via live video feed from Berlin to give us the view from Western Europe, Eastern Europe and Russia.
-
Larry Edelson will be online from his office in Bangkok to give us his boots-on-the-ground analysis of the sudden economic explosion in China and its impact on natural resource markets. Plus …
-
Tony Sagami, editor of our Asia Stock Alert, will identify specific stock opportunities he’s seeing right now in China and the rest of Asia.
The Weiss Global Forum is absolutely free. We do ask, however that you register so we can make sure you receive your instructions for attending prior to the briefing.
It’s free and easy: Just click this link. We’ll reserve your place for you, and I will immediately send you an email with your login instructions.
Plus, after you register, please click here and leave a comment to submit any questions you have.
Good luck and God bless!

Martin,
I have been shorting the market with the “DOG” and “SDS” ETF since early June. I thought by Mid August I would be selling with a profit.
My question: Should I sell know before my losses become huge? Or should I be patient and hold?
Please advise.
Martin,
I am an Australian Investor.
As the majority of you and your teams information and guidance, which is much appreciated, is primarily directed to the USA situation it would be appeciated if there was some reference and information included about your views and projections on the Australian situation.
I enjoy your offerrings
Regards
Keith Spencer
If almost every market is been “manipulated” how can we plan short term? Henry
I would love to have you or your associates invest $10,000 for me. I read what you say and listen to your offerings but at 80 years of age, I am not mentally able to invest for myself. I believe your info and think you are able to increase my money to the point where I won’t run out before I die. Please consider helping me personally.
Hi mr weiss,
I appreciate all the things u do to help people around the world. I’d Like to be like oprah and help people globally. God is preparing me to accomplish my missions globally. In the meantime I want to gain as much wisdom as possible.
- am looking forward to aug 13th!

Thanks, and in hopeful anticipation,

I am a US builder with an office in Seoul S.Korea. From where I’m sitting, the opportunities I’m looking at in korea look very good compared to opportunities in the US. It appears very stable, a sellers market and a high level of desire for a Western product. Are there any pitfalls I should be aware of?
If this is truely a bear market rally, what technical indicators, time projections, and at what Dow and S&P levels may trigger a reversal lower, or signal that the bear is over?
I would like to see the mathmatics for the major 20 countries or blocks which show: GDP, improvement or lack thereof, internal consumer suport of that GDP, imports, exports, and general economic condition of those countries. I am trying to determine how far in $ we have to recover on a world basis and what countries could contribute to that recovery. Thanks, Bill Schuler
Dear Dr.Mrtin,
It seems you and your team have given so much to us,and hope and prosperity. Yet,I wish I came in earlier to the contratian and others and joind. However, I tied my entire capital in commodity and I am stuck with it. Please Dr. Martin, Should I sell now and join you most reliable hostings and subscribe in as much as I honestly feel I should have in the begening. Dr.Martin,all over the world people are appreciating you giving so much yet you are not taking back anything from anybody as it seems. Someday we all will be able to thank you from the depth of our heart as we already do but more so.
God bless you.
Allan Rais.
The big concern i have is what is gong to happen to the us dollar.
Should we move our money into a differnt currancy,
Thanks Ron
We are shopping for a new home now, and are nervous about the rise in mortgage rates. We would like to build a home, but realize that will take time to complete, and worry that rates will be a lot higher 6-7 months from now. I know you guys do not have a perfect crystal ball, but could you share your forecasts for mortgage rates, and the housing market in general? Does the cycles Foundation have research on mortgage rate trends that you can share?
An aside: I live in Raleigh, NC, where 1000 people are moving to every month (or so I am told). Being one of the top places to live in the US has propped up home prices here, or at least prevented them from falling very much. Raleigh has hardly seen any decline in real estate values to this point, but now I am seeing signs of property price increases beginning. So, guidance on whether it is better to buy now or buy later would be appreciated.
Hi Dr. Weiss. I like to get out of us dollar based invesments, eventhough, I would’nt mind to have some energy related us stocks. Is your forfolio is out side us invesment that against loosing value of dollar? ( like, Real Wealth Report). Even if we are buying global ( china, canada, etc) stocks, bonds and ETF’s, Isn’t this invesments are us based invesment becase using dollar to buy them? I want to know also, difference of open up account out side country and invest out of us dollar(swiss bank) or buy out side country investment with us dollar hear at home. Which is better for maximum retune? I just want to protect the assets, we have left from stock crush last year, and if you have any fortfolio for that.
The CFTC has begun discussion of possible new restrictions on the size of positions that non-physical traders can take in oil and other energy commodities. If Congress give CFTC the authority to impose hard limits on non-physical traders in the energy markets, what will be the effects on the price of energy as well as the effects on the over all economy?
Looking forward to the 13th.

I am trying to buy a home as an investment for the future. Is this the right time to buy a home or should I wait for another 2-3 months?
China is doing well today and I wonder what their economy will look like IF they see no increase in US (and other) trade. It would seem that they have developed significantly more manufacturing capacity than they need for their own uses.. that capacity came with a price that they not now be able to repay… Steve
2 questions,
1.- copper, silver and gold prespectives . balance of 2009 , 2010 and etf´s recomended .
2.- emerging markets best value investments medium term , including mexico, brazil, india, china russia, turkey , asian countries please.
I’m wondering what we can expect as far as oil prices in the next months. I’m asking not only from an investor’s perspective, but from another angle as well. I have a 250-gallon fuel tank that I fill with gas for my car. I filled it when it was around $1.60 and only recently emptied it, so that resulted in a substantial savings! I’m wondering how far down prices will go and when I should fill it again. As always, I’m looking forward to the presentation.
WHAT IS LIKELY TO BE THE LOW ON GOLDS DATE AND WHEN WILL IT PEAK?
WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD ETF TO ENTER TO GOLDS HIGH?
THANK YOU,

Why are penny stocks a no-no
I’m deep in the hole on srs and scc. Both still look good to me for the long term. What do you think ? Thanks
If only a small portion of the stimulus money has been “activated” - and yet this small amount has (perhaps artificially) helped “stimulate” the stock market, would “activation” of the (80+%) remainder of the stimulus money, “stimulate” the stock market even further?
Thanks
What can we expect the government to do about outlawing short ETF funds such as SH, SDS,SRS. Could we get a more information on the ALLiance trades. I am interested in studying the cycles of certain stocks such as Google, AApl, SPG. How can I get more information on the study of these stocks and timing cycles that affect them. Also based on the outlook of the Alliance when can we expect this rally to end(a time frame) based on cycles. Are we talking weeks, months…..let’s get some specificity please. Thank you.
Sylvia Smith
Dear Martin
Is it the right time to buy and if so do you recommend buying a lot ?
f so what kind of gold investment ? Thank you
Ben Kolloori
DR Martin Weiss
I appreciate your thinking and if there is a differenc in thinking on the 13 i will take your word for it
CYCLES
must cycles not have curves and an apex
[or what mathematicians may call it]
is it not un-likely that our three cycles have exactly the same one
[and will it not be very difficult to get this correct anyway]
whatever happens to a fivehundred year cycle
would it not be a milder crescendo
over many years without explosive force at the apex
would the cycles not also be influenced by their the present ecology of all our breakdowns and and new possibilitybeing born out or them
could a downturn of three old cycles [ an event hardly experienced before by us ]
not also interfere with upstart of a new different cycle
should such a new cycle not be given its own identity so one can observe it
is all this turbulence we are experiencing evidence of a newcycle interfering
with the 3 old ones concurrently and not subsrequently
can we really trust old experiences only = when so much new is in the clouds of our conversations
as an example :
can healthcare concentration on cure not be overtakern by a new development of healthcare by prevention?
do you have any studies of new cycles taking over from old ones
[this was born out of our present climate of confusion and thus has its earmarks and need more and better thinking }
what do you think Boerries
larry, The cycles point up for oil gold but can we make new highs in soybeans and corn? Do you cover them in uncommon wisdom?
Assuming the well informed nature of your subscribers, I would appreciate any and all comments relating the the global militarization by the US, including new NATO inclusions of Sweden, Finland, etal. whom now surround Russian warm ports and the Artic and other areas, including new increased military budget allocations to Columbia and the rest of Latin America and how this may auger for a new global war in the making. In support of this,and related hereto, last weeks treasury bond offering had absolutely no participation from China and/or Russia. Are we headed for another world war?
Thanks for the opportunity to join in on your seminar, scheduled for 13 th August 2009, at 12 noon US Eastern time. It will be 3 am on Friday 14 th, in Melbourne. I will be trying to join in, any chance that you will make recording available for 24 hours after seminar is held?
Do you chart the Dow , with ten week cycle overlaid, and is it available on your web site.
Martin,
Thank you for providing a clarifying view of the things that we would not otherwise be able to make sense of. My sister and I are appreciative fans of yours. I’m in Hawaii, and find it difficult to watch the web presentations because I am getting ready for the morning commute. Please keep making these sessions available after the initial webcast.
Thank you!
Jon
Hi, Martin
Thank you for the up coming forum. When the stop got hit on green mountain coffee an avalanch of selling seamed to hit the stock resulting in a greater then 2% loss. Do you think it was the result of a lot of money coming off the table from the foundation alliance recomondation? If so maybe individual stocks wont work.
Recently you did an interview with Pamela regarding bank on yourself. Is she a scammer or does her system really work provided the insurance company is highly rated?
For those of us living outside the united states i.e., Canada is there a rating independent rating agency that rates credit unions & banks. I was looking for something like the idc rating but they dont rate out side the U.S
Is it against the law to bury money if so how long can one hold cash before it becomes clasified as taking money out of circulation. I can hold money in a brokerage account which is not lent out or invested if there is a run on the banks is there a law that governs the amount of time money can sit in a brokerage account?
I appriciate the fact you do not do what the majority of advisers are doing & that is to recomend buying stocks all the time so they keep their job. Thier job is @ risk if they miss the rally but if they keep thier clients in during a huge bear market it doesnt matter because the majority is also losing money. Iam not sure if a lot of people understand the importance of this.
Korea, India & Tiawan stock markets look strong long term. The dow is either putting in a huge H&S top with 2007 high being the head The right shoulder started on Mar6th interday low or is putting in a top with a 5 point mega phone refersal. 2000highpt1 , 2002lowpt2, 2007highpt3, 2009lowpt4 with point 5 to top before the end of April 2010.
thanks,
Darren
Dear Mr. Martin
Do you think that if US Dollar goes down then all other currencies will also go down because all other countries exporting to us will also loose on there reserved currency
Is it possible to have substitute to USD within period of 5to6 years in International Market?
If US economy is going to be improved by 2012-2013 then why people are worried so much?
If you can through some light on above issues we will be happy Regards Vikas Gadgil
Hello Martin….
I really appreciate the interest you have taken in helping people who may have lost money in the last meltdown and the desire to keep people informed, there are not many who do this to the extent you do.
I have one question … All the people that have signed up and have botten into the ETF’s for the market to go down? How are these people doing..? Have they jumped back out of the market by now or have you directed them into something different in the short term since everything seems to be on a upward tear right now.? I respectfully ask this question without malice because I almost jumped in to buy the down etf myself. Thanks Martin and read and appreciate your mail. sincerely Garry.
Hi Martin,
Firstly, many thanks for putting together this webinar and making it publically accessible. It is very much appreciated..
As an Australian based investor, I am hoping that a subsequent download of recorded webinar or transcript of same, will be made available for those participants unable to attend the live session due to time differences. (3am for Sydney based participants..)
Many thanks,
Dean
Matin, I am a small time investor, extremely small time to you probably. I am the $10,000 investor everyone talks about when the scearios come up about if you invested 10k in xyz company 10 years ago you would have 47k now. you have so many wonderful services and I would like to belong to one of them that give me an opportunity to get the information to get the windfall profits you talk about. However, the sign up prices are more than 10% of my starting money!! Would you seriously suggest that I do this purchase and then start with less than 9k?
Mario
Dear Martin,
I am an Australian investor and I hold gold bullion but I fear that as the US dollr drops and the gold price is in US Dollars all the profit on $2,000.00+ will be lost in the exchage rate adjustment as I will have to hold untill 2011.
Would I be better to sell the gold (50 Ozs) and go to silver or split it up 50/50 and start trading with Fortune Alliance recommendations or any other suggestions?
Yours faithfully
Neil Stooke
Just like the U.S. the pundits in the U.K. have been talking about the green shoots of recovery, even though the fundimentals are shaky, i.e. unemployement on the increase and empty shops no longer trading along the high street. The papers have been filled with reports of rising house prices Ha!! Ha!! booming stock markets and city and bank huge profits and bonuses funded by the bailouts. Nothing has changed in the way the money manipulators are doing buisness. The city is are dragging silly investors into their net only for the savy insiders to sell when the market can deliver them huge profits.
However the cracks are begining to show in these delusions, and that a year after capitalism’s meltdown and bailouts that all is back to buisness as normal. The press had to reveal that Northern Rock, and Lloyds are still in deep trouble because people cant pay their morgages, one in four people are in negative equaty who owe these banks money problably its much worse with buisness loans also on the dive.
Goverments had a great chance a year ago to reform the money men and their instutions,who continue to manipulate the markets while lining their own pockets and doing damage to ordinary hard working folk including savers, retirees and the working population.
Nothing is going to change until goverments run out of money or someone powerful comes along and starts telling the truth. Organisations such as Weiss have a pivital role to play in these reforms: to advise legislators to bite the bullitt, bring their spending and money printing under control: stop bailing out failed companies and banks and bring to the markets transparency. Unfortunately they will not listen now and we will will have to wait for the next disaster for the sand castle to collapse on the next financial sunami which I fear is not so far away THE PERFECT STORM as you mentioned in your last pod cast. Then there will be no choice but to make these vital changes to the way capitalism works.
We see the disaster coming can it be averted by a quick change of goverment policy, there must a lot of vested interest in the White House to keep the illusion going!
I am an investor from India.
Though market in Mumbai has gone up considerably since March, the current prices appear pretty high. We see media reports that even at this price level Foreign Institutional Investors are buying. It appears that our markets are driven by them only because local mutual funds are not buying as much. If our market is coupled with the US Market, we will follow them only. That is if us market falls, our markets will also fall.
Pl. give your unbiased views. tks & rgds.
What would you advise on Asian positions especially in China, Hong Kong and Singapore equities in view of the US bear rally? Should we hold it longer term?
Thanks.
I have a large number of Treasury Bonds, given the concern over the droping value of the Dollar and the condition of the government what would you suguest would best conserve the value of what I currently have, both with the Bonds and T bills?
Since the dollar is suspect should a person put money into a foreign currency?
If so which currency/country? People use to recommend Swiss; however, they
appear to have some problems. How about Norway? or just stick with the US
dollar?
Everbank allows one to purchase a CD in other currencies. That means when
the CD matures your funds would be payable in the currency you choose at the time
the CD was purchased. Good idea or not.????
Do you expect commercial real estate to fall? If so, what time frame?
In the “Mr. Speculator” their is no stop loss and I was concerned about a continured “hold” recomendation. Respectfully, Garvin Mcdaniel.
Dear Dr. Weiss,
What is the outlook for municipal bonds?
I am trying to decide whether I should pull my money out of a State Pension Fund. The fund is invested 82% in municipal bonds and 18% in stocks. The State goverment guarantees my money, plus a 5% annual increase. However, the total value of the fund is about $5 billion, and if municipal bonds fail, I wonder if the State will really be able to cover that loss.
Thank you very much.
I do not presently have a brokerage account , nor do I trade online. But I feel I should start , given I have the time. But there’s some hesitation in my mind , being the learning curve. Any advice ? Thank You
Given the tumultuous times being forecasted, I have been hearing from a number of advisors in Florida that on of the smartest investments for us retired folks is a Fixed Indexed Annuity. What do you think of this investment vehicle? If you like it, do you have any specific fixed index annuity that you especially like?
Hello Martin and fellow members:
How does the market keep going up in the face of such strong head winds: For example, The current GDP report says that consumer spending fell 1.5% yet CNBC didn’t mention it and today on my web broswer in the financial news the report was .03% fall in consumer spending. There were other items on the GDP report that didn’t match up with public news media or CNBC, FNN or the other financial networks. I feel confused with all of the mismatched information!
My 2nd question, if we have time, is on real estate. CNBC says home sales are up! What about the houses that financial institutions have issued forclousers on but have not forclosed to keep the houses off the markets and off their books as losses? Am I right or wrong in my assumption? And will this bog down the housing markets recovery and for how long . . . ?
In closing Martin, I [we] would like to say thank you for the many years of good fortune and investment instructions you and, more recently, your expanded staff have brought us. We’ll retire in a few more years with a nest egg of seven digits and growing!! We started with the usual 10 K investment and time + compounding + investment choices + understanding risk tolerance = a happy retirement!! Again, thank you Martin and God bless.
Since we know the big hedge funds manipulate the markets tell us what sector they are going after this time and what are they leaving in their wake. (oil, gold, health care, etc.)
How long will the bear rally last? into late 2009? How fast will the market fall when the bear rally ends? China has great potential but can you find the right companies in which to invest? Both Brazil and Australia have good potential with less risk.
Dear Weisss Institute
Hi, I am a member of Foundation Alliance.
I am looking forward to watching the coming conference. I have questions for this event.
1 Commercial real estate credit market ($533 billion size) is just about to collapse. This is too big so that even PPT (Plunge Protection Team) using bail-out money in a secret manner cannot prevent. The collapse of the commercial real estate will give a blow away to Banking systems to end.
Change cash into gold/silver seems to be the best protection when this happens.
What do you think?
2 Bank Holiday is expected in the end of August, or September,or mid October. That is a strong rumor by Wall Street watch dog. Should I take out all the cash from my bank account and securities companies account and put the cash into commoditied such as gold/silver/platinum?
What do you think of this?
3 In his thesis writing (Bernanke’s Secret Debt Solution to the Global Financial Crisis) , Larry has been expecting arrival of new monetary systems with denomination/devaluation of Dollar. He says that it is ready to go. When this happens, Bank Holiday also should happen all over the world at the same time. Taking out of Cash and put into Gold seems to be best protection by not doing any stock transaction until Bank Holiday finishes.
What do you think of ?
Would you please show GDP figure and stock index in one figure in 1930 recession?
i own ATT….is it foolish to consider verizon also?
Hello.
I am interested in 2012, notably - the Mayan prophecy about the end of the world 12.21.2012. Many people talk about it now, besides, the movie comes out soon. I’m interested to read something about it. Disclosing this theme.
Advise me some articles please.
Thank you
INTEREST RATE, DOLLAR, INFLATION:
Normally when interest rate goes higher, dollar will get stronger because comparing with other currencies it get paid better. It is not clear to me when we have higher interest rate and higher national debt, how dollar will behave? Dollar will directly impact commodities. What do you think, Martin?
Would you address the relationship among interest rate, dollar, and inflation?
Thank you!
George
