The Total Destruction Of The U.S. Housing Market!
Fueled by artificially low interest rates - and the dangerous policies of Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan - millions of Americans are about to be blindsided by an event more destructive than the Stock Market Crash of 1929...
This nation's enormous consumption bubble - created entirely by the United States government - is in its final days. In fact, the dominoes have already begun to fall in a dramatic event that could come to a head as soon as August 10 ...
THE TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE U.S. HOUSING MARKET
This shocking financial scenario is not only completely unavoidable...it's already well under way!
Find out why the burst of this bubble will have DOUBLE the impact of a stock market collapse ...and what you can do TODAY to protect yourself and your family...
Dear Reader,
Hold on to your wallets. Like it or not, your life - and the lives of over 72 million Americans - is about to change dramatically over the course of the next three weeks.
After nearly 10 years of unprecedented growth, the bottom is about to fall out of the U.S. housing market. The dominoes in this horrific game have already begun to fall... and the next significant move will come as early as August 10.
A total of $2.5 trillion - or more - will be wiped away. But - as awful as that sounds - that's not the worst of it. Because of the enormous house of cards created by the U.S. government over the past 10 years, the entire U.S. financial system is in jeopardy.
Let me state that another way: A nightmare scenario has already begun to unfold - whether the U.S. government of mainstream media admit it or not - that could collapse not just the U.S. housing market but the entire financial system as we know it. We're talking about a collapse far greater than the 1929 Stock Market Crash - or any of the top 10 financial catastrophes of our lifetime combined!
This eye-popping turn of events is actually the spectacular collapse of a consumption bubble that was created nearly a decade ago.
"A rise in long-term interest rates, which would push up mortgage rates, could collapse the housing bubble faster than anything else."

It may have taken years to build up such an enormous - and dangerous - bubble...but it will only take a few weeks for the roof to cave in. And then 10 years' worth of prosperity will disappear before you ever realize what hit you.
As a matter of fact, as I'm about to show you, the dominoes have already begun to fall in this nightmare scenario. Which is why you need to prepare yourself today.
In the next few moments, I'll tell you precisely what's going to cause this enormous financial catastrophe. I'll tell you how we got here...how many Americans will be affected...and I'll tell you exactly what you need to know in order to avoid it.
But...the truth is I'll go one step further than that. In fact, I'll tell you how you can learn the shocking details - including the tale of the missing report that amounts to a 'smoking gun'...and the forced resignation of the federal official who authored it - about the information the U.S. government doesn't want you to see.
To date No other financial media outlet has dug deep enough - or been bold enough - to reveal the inside story behind this 'smoking gun'...but I'll tell you how you can learn firsthand just how 'involved' the U.S. government is in the creation of this enormous financial catastrophe...and how - despite their futile efforts - they're ultimately powerless to stop it.
The details behind this historic financial event - including what you can do to protect yourself...and the inside story behind the report the U.S. government never wanted you to see - are the focus of a new research report my staff and I have just released. It's called The U.S. Housing Market Collapse of 2004: Nine Ways You Can Survive the Greatest Market Collapse of Your Lifetime.
Because this pending disaster - which may come to a head in just a matter of days - is of such great urgency, I have arranged for you to receive this special report FREE of charge and without obligation. I'll tell you how you can get your copy in just a moment, but first I need to tell you precisely how we got ourselves into this mess and why...
The U.S. Housing Market Is on the Verge of a Historic Collapse
Regardless of whether or not Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan wants to admit it - or even if he wants you to know about it - the United States housing market is an enormous bubble on the verge of collapse.
And this particular bubble will - without question - be far worse than any in history. Worse than the U.S. stock market bubble of the late 1960s. Worse than the gold bubble of the late-'70s. Worse even than the tech bubble of the late 1990s or the enormous Japan bubble.
That's because - unlike many of the other scenarios throughout history - this bubble stands to impact a far greater number of individuals than any other.
"National housing prices going back to 1951...pretty much track the rate of inflation up until 1995. But since then, average prices on new and existing homes have soared more than 35 percentage points beyond the overall rate of inflation. Is that unusual? You bet it is."
- BusinessWeek, April 12, 2004

Imagine your largest investment - your family's home - losing 50% or more of its value overnight. Sounds like a personal nightmare, right? Now imagine that same scenario happening to everyone on your street...or everyone in your town. In fact, imagine for a moment this event sucker-punching nearly every resident of every town in the United States.
This scenario - as scary as it sounds - is far worse than a personal nightmare, although millions of those nightmares will soon become commonplace. Instead, this financial disaster - created entirely by the U.S. government - is about to become an enormous national tragedy.
That's because this market collapse - the total destruction of the U.S. housing market - will have a direct impact on more Americans than any other financial event in history. Your friends...your neighbors...your family members...EVERYONE who fails to take the proper steps - which I'll outline for you for FREE in my new report - will soon be blindsided by a number of market forces they most likely do not understand.
Calling the "Big Trends": the Key to Successful Investing - By William Bonner
Dear Reader,
For the past two decades, Strategic Investment has helped investors protect and grow their assets by doing one thing better than anyone else in the industry: spotting the 'Big Trend.'
That's because with every historical milestone - such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of the Cold War or the coming U.S. Housing Market Collapse - the rules of the investment game completely change.
For over 19 years here at Strategic Investment, our analysis has started with identifying the big trend...and then identifying specific investment opportunities designed to take advantage of the coming changes.
During our two decades of investment success, we've had the privilege of working with - and profiting from - some of the brightest minds in the investment universe. And Dan Denning - the person I handpicked to take the reins of Strategic Investment just 4 years ago - has produced as impressive a track record in as short period of time as I have ever seen.
During the past 4 years, Dan has produced gains such as:
89% and 88% respectively in a pair of stocks - one a defense stock and the other a gold play - closed out on the same day!
An average of 17.9% returns on the 11 closed positions in the SI portfolio in 2003...
171% gains - in just 3½ months - from an option trade closed last summer...
Incredible short-term gain of 77% in just eight days from another summer 2003 recommendation...and 65% in just 21 days from another...
Dan started his career the old-fashioned way - on the ground floor. And in a very short period of time, Dan has risen from that ground floor to the top of one of the world's most prestigious investment advisories.
Each and every day, Dan has unlimited access to leading politicians, business figures, financiers, investment bankers, journalists - almost anyone in a position of authority. And Dan uses this access to identify the Big Trends most important to Strategic Investment readers...along with specific advice on how to profit.
Dan's latest report - The U.S.Housing Market Collapse of 2004 - is, in my opinion, his most important piece of work to date. I urge you to sign up today to receive your copy FREE of charge so you can see exactly what I mean.
The Dominoes Have Already Begun to Fall... and a Dangerous Rate Hike Is on the Way
Over the past three weeks, seemingly every report coming out of Washington has pointed to the same thing - a conclusion Alan Greenspan himself conceded in his April 21 remarks - like it or not, interest rates will soon be going up.
The wheels are already in motion...yet millions of Americans have not yet begun to take the steps necessary to protect their homes...and their financial future!
April 4: 'Job gains raise expectations of interest rate increase' - USA Today
April 14: 'Largest increase in core measure of prices since 2001 feeds rate hike speculation' - CNN/Money
April 22: 'Greenspan Elaborates: Rate Hikes Are Coming' - Investor's Business Daily
May 4: 'The Fed leaves rates unchanged but plots "the beginning of the end for the lowest U.S. official interest rates in 46 years.' - Reuters
The Slightest Rise in Interest Rates...
Will Trigger an Absolute Disaster
It's frightening to think about just how devastating the collapse of the housing market will soon be for most Americans.
But the fact of the matter is that the slightest rise in interest rates - something that is already a foregone conclusion - over the next three months could trigger an absolute disaster in this country. Home values will plunge. Debtors will default in record numbers. Countless American 'dreams' will be washed away.
Alan Greenspan himself - not exactly a man known for publicly forecasting danger - has even acknowledged this problem in recent testimony before Congress, calling for immediate action to be taken regarding this danger...and conceding that a rate hike - the spark that will ignite this historic fire - is a foregone conclusion.
What's worse, however, is that this threat is potentially far more dangerous than simply a reduction in the value of your home. It's entirely possible that the collapse of two government entities - which I'll tell you more about in a moment - could spell doom for not just the housing market but for the entire financial system as we now know it.
That's because once this crisis begins to build up steam, the entire financial community will be placed in harm's way, including the institutions currently charged with holding the retirement savings of millions of Americans. Again, I'll show you precisely how this is already coming together in just a moment. But the important point is this: the very survival of these companies - which are responsible for the retirement assets of millions of Americans - is intimately linked to the welfare of the homeowner...the scale of this crisis could easily bring down Wall Street.
Because of the enormous 'credit machine' - created by the U.S. government and now spinning hopelessly out of control - 52% of U.S. household assets are now exposed to an enormous risk that is about to become a hideous reality.
The truth is this enormous threat was actually identified publicly on February 4, 2003, in a report written by a senior government official. But the very next day, powerful special interests had forced the author of this report to resign...and the report suddenly 'vanished' from the Internet site it had been displayed on.
These details are just now coming to light - including who wanted this report to 'disappear' and just how dangerous this entire situation really is. You owe it to yourself to find out TODAY just how serious this danger is...and what you can do to protect yourself. In just a moment I'll tell you precisely how you can get your hands on all of this information right now - including the story of the missing 'smoking gun' and all the details as to why this collapse will be the largest in history - FREE of charge and with no obligation.
"Economists draw a parallel between today's high housing prices and a high price-earnings ratio for a stock, usually a sign that the stock is overvalued and due for a fall."
- Knight Ridder Newspapers, March 5, 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many Americans, however, will never have access to the information my research team and I would like to provide you...and as such they will remain oblivious to this imminent danger. One of the main reasons people will fail to act is that very few actually understand the problem. Just like the Great Stock Market Collapse of 1929 - when a relatively small percentage of Americans were actually invested in the stock market - millions will be affected by this enormous tidal wave. But this time, the impact will be far greater.
When you stop to think about it, it's remarkable that more attention has not been paid to just how high housing prices have risen in a short period of time. Fueled by the enormous 'debt engine' known as GSEs - which I'll tell you more about in a moment - housing prices have jumped 51% since 1995. That's a rate of 32 points above the overall rate of inflation!
This dramatic - and unprecedented - rise in housing prices has added an average of nearly $50,000 in wealth for every one of the nation's 72 million homeowners. But the truth is, that $50,000 figure is just an average number...
The real exposure for most Americans over the age of 40 is most likely three or four times that amount. That's up to $400,000 or more of YOUR money that stands to disappear in just a matter of weeks...unless you take action. Think about it this way: If you had a chance to stop thieves from breaking into your home and stealing up to $400,000 in cash, you'd do everything in your power to stop them, wouldn't you? Well this situation is just as easy to prevent...
But remember - this isn't just your $50,000. Even if you're able to protect your own nest egg...imagine the impact on this country when nearly everyone loses a small fortune almost overnight. The result will be an enormous catastrophe that will set this nation back not just years, but decades.
A Greater Impact Than All of the Other Enormous Trends...Combined!
Alan Greenspan can call it whatever he wants...but I know a bubble when I see one. In fact, long-time followers of my newsletter Strategic Investment know firsthand just how important global trends can be to personal wealth. My colleagues and I at Strategic Investment have been on the front end of nearly every profitable trend for almost 20 years.
We called the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. We called the Great Japan Crash of 1990. And we kept investors out of the U.S. stock market for the 1987 crash.
But this latest development - the coming burst of the U.S. housing bubble - stands to have a greater impact than all of those other enormous trends...combined.
We're talking about each and every American homeowner being affected in a significant way. We're also talking about over $1 trillion in consumer debt - and over $5 trillion in corporate assets - being at risk over the course of the next year. Clearly, this is the farthest-reaching - and most expensive - set of circumstances this country has ever seen.
If you thought the Enron scandal of 2002 was a big event...remember that was a scandal that - while certainly important - impacted just thousands of people. The U.S. Housing Market Collapse of 2004 will impact no fewer than 72 million people.
If you thought the Global Crossing scandal of 2002 was big news...remember that millions of dollars were lost in that debacle. The U.S. Housing Market Collapse of 2004 will see absolute losses of well over $1 trillion when all is said and done.
And that's why I'm writing you today. My research team and I have just finished a most important new report - the product of countless hours of research and verification - that tells you everything you need to know about the coming collapse of the U.S. Housing Market.
You'll learn precisely how this situation was created...and what you can do to protect yourself. And - perhaps most importantly - you'll learn what happened to the author of the 'missing report' that correctly identified this situation as an enormous danger.
Could this situation have been avoided or prevented? Who was it that wanted this report to 'disappear'? And just who demanded that its author resign the day after it was released?
You'll learn all of this - including the simple, easy-to-follow steps you can take not only to protect yourself but also to profit - to the tune of 700% or more - as this entire scenario unfolds. The report is titled The U.S. Housing Market Collapse of 2004: Nine Ways You Can Survive the Greatest Market Collapse of Your Lifetime and it explains - in plain English - how you can not only survive, but prosper from this historic event.
It's important that you understand the implications of this entire scenario, which, again, is far more dangerous than just the collapse of home values - as soon as possible. So I'd like for you to read this new report - today - absolutely FREE of charge. But before I tell you how to access your copy, let me tell you about...
The Great American Shell Game...How GSEs Have Jeopardized the Entire U.S. Financial System
"'Mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could pose a threat to the country's financial system if their ability to take on new debt is not restrained,'" Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said Tuesday."
- Associated Press, Feb. 24, 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Government Sponsored Enterprises (commonly referred to as GSEs) such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have become an absolutely integral part of the credit machine that is currently operating in the United States.
That's because on one level, the explosion of mortgage debt that they have created has become absolutely essential to the well-being of corporate America.
And on yet another level - one far more important to individual investors like you and me - the continued rise in home values has been almost entirely a creation of this all powerful 'credit machine.' Without the loans made available - to nearly everyone, regardless of risk or credit history - home values would never have risen to the heights they've reached today...
This continued rise in prices has become vital to the financial stability of millions of Americans who now count their home as their chief financial asset and a source of available credit through cash-out refinancing.
What is perhaps most frightening is that these GSEs have become the credit engine of the American economy. And they constitute the largest, most liquid bond market in the world.
In 2003, the GSEs issued more than $1 trillion worth of new debt, up from $922 billion the year before. And all told, they own or guarantee 42% of the $7 trillion U.S. mortgage market.
But that $1 trillion - and the entire U.S. economy - is really just a house of cards...
The Entire U.S. Financial System Is Now in Jeopardy
So what have these GSEs undefined in particular, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac undefined actually done to put the entire U.S. financial system in jeopardy? My FREE report The U.S. Housing Market Collapse of 2004 explains in clear detail the surprising details behind how the GSEs have been given such a license to 'print money' - and what will happen when the system comes tumbling down. But here's the important point:
Over $5 trillion in corporate assets now depends on the ability of American homeowners to pay the monthly mortgage. Just one small crack in the system - such as the now unavoidable rise in interest rates - and the whole thing will go up in flames.
The U.S. government has pinned the hopes of the nation's financial system on the American homeowner...at the worst possible time. Because when those homeowners are suddenly unable to make their payments - something that will soon become unavoidable -- the bottom will fall out of not just the housing market...but the entire U.S. financial system. Trillions of dollars will be lost as a result of this outrageous - and entirely preventable - situation...the details of which are spelled out in my new FREE research report!
The Great Housing Market Collapse of 2004: How the Dominoes Will Fall
As I mentioned earlier, the Great Housing Market Collapse of 2004 has already begun...although the mainstream financial press has done nothing to warn the masses of what's really about to happen. The employment figures released on June 4...the inflation data released on June 15...Greenspan's comments of June 8...all of the signs now point to an imminent rise in interest rates. Here's what will happen next:
Falling Domino #1 - Long-term interest rates will rise. It doesn't matter that the Fed left rates unchanged on May 4. The Fed doesn't control long-term interest rates, only short-term ones. And the bond market is now against the Fed. The bond vigilantes have returned. Long-term rates are headed up... And a rise in interest rates - no matter how small - will be the spark that ignites a number of fires, not the least of which should be a dramatic sell-off in the U.S. stock market.
Falling Domino #2 - Hundreds of thousands of mortgage defaults will quickly paralyze the U.S. economy. One by one, the rise in interest rates - and the subsequent drop in home values - will cause the first noticeable rise in mortgage defaults. And once this trend gets started it will be difficult - if not impossible - to stop. The first group at risk, obviously, are those Americans who financed their homes using an Adjustable Rate Mortgage. In the past three years alone, the percentage of mortgages finances using ARMs has shot up by more than 58%...leaving millions of investors dangerously exposed if rates were to suddenly rise. But those investors with fixed-rate mortgages are also at risk, as massive defaults on adjustable mortgages nationwide will send the economy into a dangerous tailspin. As scary as it may sound, the truth is this is a trend that has already begun, as the national foreclosure rate has actually tripled over the past three decades. The coming rise in interest rates will simply be gasoline on the fire...
Falling Domino #3 - Need a loan? Forget it! Millions of Americans will be unable to get credit. By absorbing risk on both sides of the thousands of loan transactions they create each day, the GSEs - Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae - have created a house of cards. Once the wheels start turning - and investors begin defaulting left and right - the more than $1 trillion in debt the GSEs are responsible for will instantly go from a paper asset to a dangerous liability. Without the constant stream of new homebuyers, the GSE Credit Machine will run out of fuel - a fact that even Alan Greenspan has grudgingly acknowledged. And as a result, credit in the United States - once incredibly easy for millions of investors to get - will suddenly become exceptionally rare...and available only to those who are already wealthy.
Falling Domino #4 - Double the impact of a stock market collapse: Consumer spending is about to grind to a screeching halt. Make no mistake about it: the U.S. consumer possesses a very strong will. But no matter how great the desire to press ahead, soon they'll have their legs taken out from under them. Don't think for a minute that the collapse of the housing market will only impact real estate spending. Studies have shown that when housing bubbles burst, they exercise twice the effect on consumer spending as comparable declines in stock prices. Think of it this way: A 20 percent drop in housing prices would have the same effect as a 40% decline in the stock market.
Falling Domino #5 - Can you trust your bank? The U.S. banking system will soon be crippled by bad loans. The eye-popping investment risks that have been taken during this housing bubble are not limited to GSEs. The entire U.S. banking system is also heavily exposed...and as a result, many U.S. banks will suffer dearly. As for individual investors, many will find out the hard way why a mortgage-backed bond is not as safe as a Treasury bond.
Falling Domino #6 - Goodbye retirement, Hello McDonald's...Millions of Americans will see their net worth take a giant hit. As rates continue to rise - and loans become tougher to secure - housing prices will plummet. Over $2.5 trillion in 'paper money' - the so-called wealth that has been created since 2001 by the rise in housing prices - will disappear. That average of $50,000 in wealth that has been 'created' by the housing bubble for each U.S. investor? It will all be gone in the blink of an eye.
As I said before, the step-by-step details of what will happen during this historic event - as well the simple steps you can take to take advantage of nine extraordinary profit opportunities - are included in the new research report I just finished writing earlier this week.
And what's more, this dramatic new research report reveals the never-before-told story of how the man who uncovered the biggest threats to the U.S. financial system in more than a century was quietly asked to resign...and why his report - the result of over two years of research - suddenly went 'missing.'
The information in this report is so vital to your immediate financial well-being that I have arranged to send you - immediately - a copy of this new report absolutely FREE. I'll tell you how to get your copy in just a moment...but first I want to tell you a bit more about the opportunities - yes, I said opportunities - this scenario will create for savvy investors.
The U.S. Housing Collapse of 2004: What Will Happen Next:
Now that the wheels are already in motion - starting with the employment figures released on June 4 and continuing with the inflation figures released just two weeks later - what can investors expect to happen next? Once the Fed raises rates - perhaps as early as May 4 - here are three devastating things to look for...
A Massive "Credit Crunch" - Stung by bad loans (such as your neighbor's), banks will make it harder for everyone to borrow. Businesses will slow their investment. Consumers will slow their spending. In short, the economy will fall victim to a liquidity lockup.
Up to 50% of Your Home's Value Will Vanish Overnight - Once banks slow - or stop - lending to new homebuyers, a huge leg under the housing bull market will be kicked out. This slowdown in home buying will lead to falling home values of up to 80%! So what do you think will happen when Americans realize that the payments they're making each month - a result of the great refinance trend of the past few years - add up to much, much more than the value of their home? You got it...thousands of investors will default on their loans.
A Devastating Stock Market Collapse - The credit crunch, the struggling consumer, the ravaged personal balance sheet of America...all will take their toll on stock prices. Over the next 10 months, consumers will spend less...corporate earnings will fall...and the U.S. stock market will take a massive hit. A seemingly endless stream of bad news - with each event related to the one before it - will send the market into a slump that will take months to dig out of.
Adding insult to injury is the fact that the value of the bonds that were a significant part of your carefully planned retirement portfolio will also take a nosedive. Defaults by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - along with the public realization of just how much debt and "imaginary wealth" has been created over the past several years - will force everyone to realize that a mortgage-backed bond is not nearly as safe as they had hoped.
How to Avoid This Danger... Without Selling Your Home
While the threat associated with the collapse of the housing market is very real, I want to make one thing perfectly clear: You do not have to sell your house in order to avoid danger. Not even close.
"A decline (in home values) could be a real problem for Americans who have taken advantage of the run-up in prices to do cash-out refinancings. They could very well owe more than their house is worth - bad news if they are forced to sell."
- CNN/Money, April 22, 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In fact, I have identified nine simple steps you can take - today - to not only protect your hard-earned assets...but also profit from this historic combination of events.
These opportunities come in all shapes and sizes. Some are defensive in nature while others are more aggressive. But they all share one important trait: All position you for significant short- to medium-term profit while at the same time lowering your overall exposure to the risk faced by the masses.
My name is Daniel Denning, and I'm the editor in chief of Strategic Investment, the remarkably accurate financial advisory that has been helping investors profit during both up and down markets since 1984.
For the past 20 years, Strategic Investment subscribers have been taking advantage of our astonishingly accurate recommendations and 'big picture' market calls. Strategic Investment has historically combined a unique ability to identify world trends and also to identify the most effective way to take advantage of those trends.

"I'm Not Bearish on Investing...This Isn't the Only Place to Invest in the World."
Before I begin detailing some of the recommendations you'll receive in my new, FREE report that I'll rush to you by e-mail, I'd like to make one more point:
I'm not bearish on investing in general...not at all. Instead, I'm simply bearish on the U.S. stock market. We all need to remember the United States is not the only place to invest in the world.
Some of the opportunities I have identified are in places or things you literally could not invest in as recently as just five years ago. The key, as always, is in identifying the trend and then identifying the best way to profit from that trend.
Most U.S. investors feel that the U.S. stock market is the only place to invest. Sure, on some level they may realize that there are other options available to them...but after all, they're Americans, so they invest in America.
As the horrific financial events unfold in the United States over the next several months, it's imperative that you avoid getting caught up in that one-sided way of thinking. But I think once you see just what types of profits lie ahead, you'll quickly realize where you should be putting your money...
Profit Opportunity #1: Double-Digit Profits From Billions in Mortgage Defaults
My new research report will give you everything you need to rake in double-digit profits from what could be more than a billion dollar mistake by one of the country's most famous publicly traded entities.
One of the most alarming 'danger signs' pointing to a collapse in the housing market is the remarkable risk that has been taken on by the government-backed mortgage lenders over the past five years.
Since 1999, these 'government sponsored enterprises' have become the credit engine that is fueling the entire U.S. economy. In fact, in every year since 1999 rising mortgage-related debt has exceeded even federal government debt!
If I were to tell you of a business - any business - that had racked up over $5.7 trillion in liabilities against just $1.2 trillion in assets, you'd be a bit skeptical of their long-term prospects, wouldn't you?
And if I also told you that this total of $5.7 trillion in liabilities was built up during a time period when the borrowers responsible for those liabilities were more likely to default on their obligations than at any point in history, well...you'd certainly avoid buying shares of this company. In fact, if you owned ANY shares of the companies that have amassed this debt, I'd urge you to sell them immediately!
But while you're on the phone with your broker, there's one additional step you can take that will position you for a short-term double-digit gain when the pieces begin falling into place.
With this one simple trade - which I spell out in clear detail in my new, FREE report - you will not only take the first step toward cashing in on this historic profit opportunity - and set yourself up for a double-digit winner - you'll do so with limited downside risk.
Profit Opportunity #2: Cash in on This Bank's $240 Billion 'Day of Doom'
Maybe the only thing more shocking than the staggering amount of liabilities that's been built up by the GSEs in recent years is the fact that U.S. banks are battling each other to be first in line to gobble up that debt.
One company in particular is so ridiculously overexposed at this very moment that it presents us with a high-yield, low-risk profit opportunity.
Just how dependent is this one prominent U.S. bank on interest income for its earnings? Take a look:
39% of its total revenues in the first nine months of 2003 - a whopping $9.3 billion - came from interest income...with a significant portion of that debt coming from those very same GSEs mentioned earlier. When the 'domino of defaults' begins with those GSEs - as I believe it will - this bank's primary source of revenue will be no more.
This bank also lists $231 billion in loans as an asset on its balance sheet, more than 30% of its total assets of $792 billion. And this is a bank that loaned heavily to Enron and Argentina in the last four years. Simply put, their reputation for risk management is less than stellar.
"A rise in long-term interest rates, which would push up mortgage rates, could collapse the housing bubble faster than anything else."
- BusinessWeek, April 12, 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The big picture for this prominent U.S. bank is not a good one. They racked up a huge amount of interest income in a low interest rate environment where mortgage activity was robust. Any decline in mortgage activity or rise in interest rates - both of which are likely scenarios - puts their bottom line in serious jeopardy.
I'll show you a simple way to take advantage of this bank's enormous risk. In fact, in my new, FREE report I'll tell you EXACTLY how to profit...and do so while limiting your overall risk exposure. We're targeting a 9-month gain of 75-240% on this trade!

Profit Opportunity #3: 39% - and Climbing - From the Safest Bet on the Planet!
So given the fact that the dominoes have already begun to fall - setting in motion one of the most significant financial crises this country has seen in decades - where is the safest place for an investor to put his money?
The answer is the same as it has been for centuries.
This single investment - in what is perhaps the safest asset class on the planet - has already produced 39% gains for my subscribers since it was first recommended in the pages of Strategic Investment...and there's still plenty more to come! In my FREE report, I'll tell you the name of this company And I'll also tell you precisely when to invest...and how long you should hold this low-risk, long-term play.
Profit Opportunity #4: 98% - 460% Profits as the Great Mortgage Bubble Bursts
During the Great Mortgage Bubble Boom of the past five years, construction of new homes has reached record levels. That's because - like any boom - the higher the price goes for a financial asset, the more supply of that asset you can expect to be produced.
It happened in the railroad boom as investors poured capital into building more railroad capacity than could be used...
It happened in the telecom boom when companies like Global Crossing laid down fiber based on 'pie-in-the-sky' assumptions about the infinite demand for bandwidth...
And it's happening TODAY as the Great Mortgage Bubble Boom will set back the demand for home ownership for years. And businesses that have made a killing bringing new supply to market will be faced with a crunch when demand dries up.
By simply following the recommendation in my FREE report you will position yourself for a gain of 98% - 460% in the next three and a half months as the bottom drops out of the U.S. housing market. I'll tell you precisely how to profit with this one simple trade - and I'll also tell you how to actually LIMIT your downside risk in the process.
Combined Gains of 127% From Five 'Precision-Guided' Investments
In every bull market, there's at least one 'fashionable' class of investment everyone talks about. And this time is no exception...but in this case, we've actually figured out a way to take advantage of this current 'fad' in a way no one else has. And we've done so to the tune of 127% in combined profits.
I like to refer to the investments that result from this particularly strategy as 'Precision-Guided Investments.' Why? It's easier than ever before for you to make one decision and instantly be long or short a whole sector, an index, a country or an asset class. You can have a simple investment idea, a big idea even, and invest in it with precision getting the most bang for your buck if you're right.
By employing our highly successful strategy for incorporating these unique investments into your portfolio, you can take advantage of opportunities without the added risk of high P/E ratios and enormous debt. Simply put, I'd rather be right about where to invest at the moment than worry about some of the more dangerous details. And this strategy is paying off handsomely...
As a matter of fact, just five of these recommendations have already returned combined gains of 127% in the Strategic Investment portfolio...and we expect them to continue soaring!
Here's the best news: you can learn about each of these 'Precision-Guided Investments' - FREE of charge - in my new special report, How to Pile Up 500% Gains Using EFTs. I'll send you this report FREE - along with your other free reports - when you sign up for a no-risk subscription to Strategic Investment.
Get Opportunities Like These - From One of the Most Respected Sources in the Investment Community
"Greenspan knows, perhaps better than anyone, that this economy is perched nervously on top of a wobbly, Dr. Seuss-like tower. Our recovery is propped up by consumer spending, which is in turn propped up by mortgage refinancing, and if that refinancing dries up before more props can be put in, the whole edifice could fall."
- Washington Monthly, April 3, 2004

What You Can Do - TODAY - to Survive the Coming Collapse of the U.S. Housing Market
As you can see, Strategic Investment has a long - and profitable - history of identifying those trends that are most important to individual investors. For nearly two decades, we've helped investors not only avoid dangerous situations...we've helped them realize enormous profits along the way.
This particular trend, however - the inevitable collapse of the U.S. housing market - figures to dwarf all of those we've seen over the past 20 years in terms of its overall impact.
And what's more, it's a scenario so astonishingly dangerous that the mere mention of it in public just one year ago was enough to cost one senior government official his job...and make the report he spent two years preparing suddenly 'vanish' without a trace.
That's why I feel it's so important you read my new report, The U.S. Housing Market Collapse of 2004: Nine Ways You Can Survive the Greatest Market Collapse of Your Lifetime. as soon as possible. In fact, I feel this matter is so urgent I've arranged to rush you your copy by e-mail right away - FREE of charge and with no obligation whatsoever.
