Last month, October 9th, marked a not-so- happy anniversary. Ten years ago the market started to crash. If you knew what was coming, what would
you have done differently? How are you protecting your assets from the next market reversal? If you are using the banks, then you’re earning next to nothing. Read on......
Achieving a 10th anniversary, marking the start of the most recent bear market, is historically unusual. The current bull market is the second-longest since the Depression era, over 75 years ago. We know markets move in cycles of growth and retraction. We do not know when these cycles will begin or end. So how can you harness the performance potential you desire, while securing a level of protection you need?
Studies have shown that when the markets begin to correct and head into the abyss, most investors hope for
a snappy reversal to the upside. Even though they are witnessing, in real time, the onset of a market collapse, they stay put. Humans are conditioned, genetically, to expect positive outcomes. It is scienti cally programmed into
our DNA code to anticipate good results. This is proven over and over again in some of the most competitive environments that we immerse ourselves into.
For example; millions of people go to casinos every day around the world with the hopes and expectations
of winning, only for most to walk away with less money. Millions more of us attend competitive sports arenas with the lofty expectations that our team will win the match even if our team has a losing season. For this very biological
reason, we need to protect ourselves from, well, - ourselves. This is where I can help you. I can help you override
your DNA code. Imagine these investment scenarios and then ask yourself if you’re intrigued:
1. Regardless of how far the market may fall, your account will never lose a penny.
2. When the market rises, so does your account.
3. When you have a positive year, your gains are locked
in and can never be lost in any subsequent year when the market falls.
4. When the market falls or collapses, your account will immediately participate in any market rebound in the following years.
These four important bene ts will continue to apply as long as you own your account. Sound to good to be true? I admit it does, but it is real. In the last 25 years, over 1⁄4 of a trillion dollars has been invested into these programs. That is over $250 billion.
You have a choice; call my of ce and sit with me to determine if you qualify to own such a program, or continue what you have been doing all these years. There is no obligation and you just may learn something that may change your investment philosophy forever.
