After a Crash... The Rules Change…

How One Man Turned $39,000 into $100 Million in Today's Market Conditions

Bestselling author and investor reveals his crisis profit secrets... And why even so-called 'safe' recession investments like cash, money-market funds and Treasuries can demolish your portfolio. 

Dear Reader,

“Meet him at that boat club of yours outside Buenos Aires,” my father instructed.

“You know Jim... He has something very important to talk with you about. And I want you to tell me all about it after you guys talk...”  

I had no idea what all the urgency was about.

But my dad, Bill Bonner, editor of The Daily Reckoning, wanted me to meet with an old friend of his who happened to be in Argentina, where I live, to discuss the unfolding credit crisis...  

What Jim told me that day transformed my thinking about the economic crisis that we are all now facing.  

He first impressed upon me just how bad things are.  

I’m nothing if not a sceptic, and I wondered if all the pessimism might be a bit overplayed. Maybe we were even close to a bottom...  

“That couldn't be further from the case,” said Jim.  

“Investors will be shocked by their losses when it's all over with. They're stunned now. But it's just the beginning. In fact, there will be hardly any investors left by the time this financial storm passes. People will loathe the very idea of investing. Only then will it be a bottom.”  

“But a savvy few will come out of this ahead … some even with great fortunes. One investor I’ve studied extensively managed to turn $39,000 into over $100 million in a crisis similar to what we are facing now.”  

“Wow!” I blurted out.  

Now he was getting my attention.  

The Ultimate Crisis Investor

On a dock outside Buenos Aires, Jim shared with me the story of Floyd Bostwick Odlum, a Michigan-born attorney who got rich during the Great Depression.

Odlum started out in 1923 with a grubstake of $39,000, which he pooled from friends and his wife. He was 31 years old.

Within two years, he had turned this small investment into $700,000.

He then made two truly brilliant investment decisions…

In the run-up to the Great Crash of 1929, every Tom, Dick and Harry was dabbling in “the market.”  Investors were euphoric, believing that stock prices had reached “a permanently high plateau.”

But not Odlum.

Floyd Bostwick Odlum

He had done well in the bull run of the 1920s. But he knew the party couldn’t go on forever. So he sold most of his investments before the now famous panic selling at the end of the decade hit.

When the stock market crashed in October 1929, Odlum had $14,000,000 in cash and short-term notes to take advantage of opportunities created by the crisis.

He then made his second brilliant move. He used his cash pile to buy undervalued stocks in companies at crash-reduced prices.

All told, within 15 years, he had grown his initial stake of $39,000 into over $100 million.

“That's $1.5 billion in today’s dollars,” said Jim as he finished telling me the story.

The Grand Cycle of Depressions  

“That's a whole lot of money. But what does that have to do with what's going on now?

Sure, I'd like to make a billion dollars too. But how would you do it in today's volatile markets?” I asked.

Jim smiled and said, “Well, what people need to understand, which Odlum understood, is that after a mega-bubble busts the rules all change. It's part of the grand cycle of depressions...

“The world is shaped by big powerful forces or trends that nobody can control. In fact, very few people are even aware of them. There are historical cycles that repeat themselves over and over.

“There have been nine depressions, spaced decades apart, since the mid-16th century.

“One explanation for this is human psychology. After a depression, the generation that suffered through it is very careful and conservative. Lenders make only totally safe loans. Investors only invest in sure things. It was 1954 before the Dow reached the level it had attained in the boom of the 1920s. (Likewise, it may not be until the 2030s until the highs of 2007 are reached again.)  

“Then about 30 to 40 years after a depression, a new generation begins to take over. Its members have little memory of the crash. They think their elders are overcautious old fuddy-duddies who are missing profit opportunities.

“And, in a way, the young people are right. It's time to be more aggressive. Think of the 1950s and 1960s.

“As this new generation takes control of banks, corporations, government and other institutions, caution is eventually thrown to the winds.

“By about 75 years (an average lifetime) after the last crash, there's almost no one around who remembers what it was like. Stocks and real estate have gone up for as long as these people can remember.

“The stage is set for another depression, caused by cheap money, bad loans and foolish investments of the boom generation.

“That's where we are now.

“The credit cycle began to unwind in 2000, but the Fed refused to allow a healthy downturn to occur ... Instead, it pumped in even more easy credit to keep the party going.  

“But now the credit markets have imploded, the unavoidable economic hangover is upon us ... and the worst is yet to come.  

“So it’s critical you move fast to adapt your investing strategy to fit this post-bubble world.

“Think about it. Millions of Americans who “played by the rules” have already been wiped out or are damn close.

“They thought their retirement was secure. They trusted their broker or their fund manager to protect them. They believed what they read on CNN Money. Then they woke up one day to find the rules had changed.

Total Losses of $45 Trillion Ahead  

“Let's look at the damage so far...”

Jim and I discussed at length just how dangerous the situation is, starting with these disturbing statistics about the U.S. economy:

The bottom line is that the economic world in which we have lived and prospered in recent decades has ended. My conversation with Jim convinced me of that.

This is not like any recession we have known in America.

It’s more like the crushing slump Japan has experienced from 1990 until today.  

After Japan’s big boom of the 1980s, real estate prices crashed. Then stock prices crashed. And the Bank of Japan and the Japanese government came in with bailouts and rescue packages – very similar to those we’re seeing now.

But the rescues didn’t work.  

Even taking interest rates down to near-zero ... and running a deficit of more than 5% of GDP ... didn’t do the trick.  

Instead, stocks fell more. Property fell more, too. And consumers, feeling the pinch of recession, stopped spending. Then business earnings plummeted. And soon, the businesses themselves ... and the banks who had lent them money ... were in trouble.  

Then the recession deepened and prices fell more. Because everyone was trying to protect his own budget, and it put the squeeze on the whole economy.  

From top to bottom – 12 years in total – the Japanese lost the equivalent of THREE TIMES the nation’s entire GDP.

If we repeat that pattern in America, it will mean a loss of $45 trillion – or about $500,000 for every family in the country.

And the government is powerless to stop it – Japan proved that too.

You see, this is a different type of slump.  

In this type of slump, it doesn’t do any good to offer to lend people more money out of an empty pocket ... because it was too much borrowing that got them into trouble in the first place. They desperately need to get out of debt, not borrow more!

“It's the Great Reckoning coming to pass,” said Jim.  

“Your book,” I replied.  

In his international bestseller The Great Reckoning: Protecting Yourself in the Coming Depression, Jim and his co-author William Rees-Mogg wrote:  

Debt cannot go on compounding forever. At the rate it expanded in the 1980s, interest payments would consume 100% of GNP by the year 2015. No such thing will happen. Long before debt reaches the extreme, it will be wiped away. Either an economic deflation will cause the financial system to implode, or a political inflation of an extreme kind will obliterate much of the value of the debts denominated in dollars. One way or another we expect a great reckoning. A settling of accounts. We expect the long economic boom and credit expansion that began with WWII to come to an end.

That was written in 1993, with many other warnings and updates made in subsequent years. The credit expansion surpassed Jim's and Rees-Mogg's estimates. But the “settling of accounts” that they foretold is now coming to pass.  

“So what do you see happening next?” I asked excitedly.

“Now the U.S. plans to address the crisis with another $700 billion to $1 trillion stimulus scheme,” Jim continued.  

“That’s another trillion dollars out of an empty pocket.  

“These trillion-dollar bailouts will ultimately punish savers ... and they'll punish the folks on the sidelines in cash. The dollar will be trashed in the next few years – maybe sooner than we expect – as the printing presses work overtime and the rest of the world stops accepting America’s IOUs.

  “Returns on U.S. Treasuries have already turned negative. You might as well burn your money. At least you'd get some warmth from it...”  

You Can Safely Profit in a Declining Market

“So what do you do?” I asked.

“Well, you can profit in a declining market.

“Speaking of Argentina, one Argentine investor I know made half a billion dollars by investing in real estate when Argentina was in the depths of its own financial crisis in 2001. I think you've heard of him. His name is Eduardo Elzstain.

“He convinced billionaire investor George Soros that Argentina would see huge real estate price increases after their crisis passed. Soros gave him $10 million, which Elzstain multiplied into $500 million.

“And then there are these other guys…”

“Take Jesse Livermore. He successfully predicted and then made $3 million dollars from the crash of 1907. And he was worth $100 million after his short-selling profits from the crash of 1929 came into play.  

“Or the late Sir John Templeton. In 1939, he went into his boss’s office and begged for a $10,000 loan. He got it and invested the money in every stock trading on a major exchange for $1 or less. Then he watched these stocks skyrocket as the U.S. came out of the Great Depression.  

“And let’s not forget about Jim Rogers, who started out in his twenties with only $600 in his pocket. He’s the first to short at the top of a frenzied market and the first to buy when there’s blood in the streets. He was worth $14 million by the time he was 37.  

“These guys made huge windfalls during financial collapses like the one we’re witnessing now.”

“I've heard some of these names before,” I said. “They’re inspiring stories. But what specific investments are you looking at right now to replicate these success stories?”  

There’s Never Been a More Dangerous, Yet Potentially Lucrative, Market Than the One That We're Looking at Right Now

“I'm glad you asked,” said Jim.  

“I’ve developed my own crisis strategy. I think I can tell you exactly how to use this market to get very, very wealthy. ”

Jim then filled me in on about half dozen specific investment plays and why the timing is perfect for them right now. (I followed up with him later over the phone and by email for clarification on them.)

Jim’s crisis plays blew me away. Not because of how impressive gains could be made but because of how safe they were.

Jim's crisis investing strategy is to keep the core of your investment wealth in a dollar alternative that has real upside (I’m talking about cash payments of 18% every year).  

Then you pounce on “sure-thing” income investments where the principle is guaranteed or on “cash-at-discount” opportunities from companies that have assets surpassing their stock prices.  

And because the credit markets are broken, you can “play the house” by making expensive loans to reliable businesses and governments willing to pay you absurdly high interest rates just to borrow your money.

What follows are some of Jim's crisis investing ideas. Each one is just a piece of what Jim calls his “Omega Plan.”  

Jim asked me not to reveal this plan in its entirety. He doesn’t want it spread all over the internet, for obvious reasons.)

Crisis Profit Play #1
Collect 4 Checks a Year from
Government Backed “Obama Bonds”

There are currently never-seen-before anomalies in the national and international bond markets. These opportunities will allow you to get steady income no matter what is happening on Wall Street.

Don’t miss the opportunity to make a windfall in high yield “Obama Bonds.”

While Obama preaches about “spreading the wealth,” he is mostly talking about reducing the returns on portfolios invested in private companies.

Obama himself does not invest in companies. He invests in governments.

And his seven-figure holdings of tax-free municipal securities signal that he is likely to bailout states and localities rather than let them go the way of Lehman Brothers.

That could give you steady income of 18% or more every year in highly rated municipal bond funds.

Crisis Profit Play #2
Leverage Gold’s Next Move by 200%

This is the first depression since the demonetization of gold in 1971. This means there has never been such a determined effort on the part of government to inflate.

Make no mistake about it. The current crisis is blazing new trails in desperate improvisation by the authorities. Consider the words of St. Louis Fed President James Bullard…

“The Fed was forced to improvise in the Bear Stearns, Lehman and AIG episodes. These improvised actions have had mixed success”.

That’s why the dollar will fall.

And when it does, you could be ready with a good chunk of your investment wealth in a simple ETF that tracks the performance of gold but leverages the returns by 200%!

Crisis Profit Play #3
How to Get Millions of Ounces of Gold for Free  

Stocks, bonds, credit default swaps and CDOs. These investments rely on a complex web of trades and countertrades, as well as on the economy itself.

A bad economy can wreck even the healthiest company. And the more sophisticated the financial instruments a company depends on, the greater the risk this company may collapse. There’s a reason why Warren Buffet called many of these instruments “weapons of mass destruction.”

And with the way the Fed has printed new money, there’s a huge risk that inflation will compromise paper asset values sooner rather than later.

When a corporation is desperate, it issues more shares. This dilutes the value of existing shares. When a government is desperate, it issues more currency. This dilutes the value of the money in your pocket and your bank account. 

But gold is always a survivor. 

The supply of gold can’t be inflated because, after thousands of years of trying, no one has figured out how to make more. It is also immune to bankruptcies, banking crises, credit crunches, crashes and bear markets. 

That’s why people turn to gold when a financial system begins to wobble. 

Now, because we are still only in the very early stages of this crisis, you can get hundreds of thousands ... maybe millions ... of ounces of gold for next to nothing. 

You see, asset deflation has hit gold mining shares along with everything else. What most investors don’t realize is this will be one industry – and maybe the only industry – to do fabulously well as this crisis unfolds. 

The U.S. already has one major experience with an economic depression within living memory – a long period of falling national output. 

As for what happened to gold itself, the answer is simple. Franklin Roosevelt confiscated it. Then he increased the price by executive order a full 60%. 

Crisis Profit Play #4
The Crusoe Portfolio

Bank and hedge fund blow-ups are causing investors to “rush to the exits.”

According to USA Today, “Big investors such as mutual funds and hedge funds are being forced to sell both good stocks and bad to raise cash so they can meet shareholder redemptions.”

This has opened up the best opportunity of our lifetimes to buy strong, cash-rich corporations for pennies on the dollar.

In fact, you could probably make a list of just five or ten companies to own for the next ten years, buy them now and watch your money steadily multiply. 

The Crusoe Portfolio is just such a list of stocks. And it could make you rich even if you didn’t touch your portfolio again for the next ten years.

The strategy is very simple.

Buy global brands that hold lots of cash and are as cheap as you're likely to find them ever again. Then, like fine wine, let them mature for the next ten years in a tax-deferred account.

It's Templeton-lite. The last “best way” to invest in stocks before you retire. 

Conventional?

Yes.

But when you see compelling value lying around on the street because everyone else has headed for the hills ... you pick it up and tuck it in your pocket. 

Crisis Profit Play #5
Up to 60% Returns from Brazilian Bonds

Other opportunities in the bond markets allow you to receive steady income-checks no matter what is happening on Wall Street...

The Brazilian government's five years bonds are yielding 13% or more. That means if the Brazilian real were to recover to its pre-crisis exchange rate of August of 2008, these bonds would pay an effective return of 60%.

Another intriguing option to profit comes from investment grade corporate bonds.

As the credit crisis worsens cash will be in such demand that corporations will pay absurdly high yields just to secure funding… allowing you to receive massive and steady income off the back of safe, stable corporations.

Crisis Profit Play #6
Up to 800% Returns from the Dying Dollar

The dollar has surged recently because of the flight to cash by panicked investors selling assets priced in dollars. And relative to other currencies, the dollar doesn't look so bad in a global downturn. But that’s changing... 

The lunkheads in Washington are throwing over $8 trillion in new cash onto “the spending bonfire” to prop up the markets and economy. 

It's inflate or deflate ... and given the choice, they've picked inflation.

In fact, deficit-financing requirements next year could approach 15-20% of GDP – a level associated with severe inflation in other countries. 

That means every dollar you hold gets weaker…

But what if you could make as much as ten times your money as the value of the U.S. dollar falls apart? 

If the dollar dips as low as we expect it to ... and gold hits the heights it could easily hit ... this special hedge could soar to as much as ten times its current value.  

Could it happen? 

Here are six reasons why the dollar is doomed…

1.    Trillion-dollar budget deficits projected for the next two years

2.    A trade deficit of well over $700 billion a year

3.    Near-zero interest rates

4.    A broken financial system

5.    A busted manufacturing sector

6.    Rising unemployment

At some point during this downturn, with the help of our elected officials, inflation will cause a profound slip in the dollar. When that happens, a great place to be will be in an inverse dollar fund.

The Best Way to Play the Sucker's Rally of 2009

There’s no logical reason why the stock market should move higher when corporations are losing billions of dollars and the government is spending trillions of dollar it doesn’t have on bailouts.

But the market can remain illogical for a very long time. And there’s good reason to believe that we’re about to see a huge rally.

But it will be a sucker’s rally, because only suckers will buy into it without protecting themselves.

If this sucker’s rally is anything like the one after the crash of 1929, then we could see the S&P 500 go up 48% in the next six months.

But there’s a way to take full advantage of that 48% climb … without any risk of losing even a dime. Because when you buy this investment, you’re principal is practically guaranteed.

Jim calls them “Bounce Bonds.” And they allow you to make money when a broad index rises and not risk a dime should the markets reverse course.

Escape from This Brutal Bear Market

After hearing about Jim’s unique “Omega Plan,” I realized why my dad wanted us to get together on such short notice.

Jim was one of the most successful investment newsletter writers in the world, commanding a readership of over 100,000 in the early 1990s.

And according to my dad (who has been in the investment publishing business for nearly 30 years), Jim is one of the best analysts there is.

Unfortunately, he retired from newsletter writing about eight years ago to focus on his personal investments.

Now he wants to open up shop again, and I leapt at the opportunity to publish his work from my office here in Argentina.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Will Bonner.

I grew up in the investment publishing business that my dad started in 1978. It’s called Agora Publishing, and it’s now the biggest financial newsletter publishing business in the world.

We went from a tiny operation in Baltimore, Maryland, to having offices in 11 countries and over 500 employees worldwide.

Two years ago, I moved my family from Florida to Buenos Aires to open a Spanish-language financial publishing business. We publish a financial newsletter for Spanish speakers that’s quickly becoming one of the most widely read online investment letters in South America.

But after meeting with Jim, I realized that his unique experience could make a dramatic difference to the immediate financial future of so many. He really can help protect and enrich you during the greatest financial crisis in 70 years...

That's why I've decided to publish Jim's service from my office way down in the Southern Hemisphere.

So I’ve worked hard with Jim to create a way for people to access his recommendations for a fraction of what this type of information would usually sell for.

But more on that in a moment. First, I want to tell you more about who Jim is and why I’m so excited about this new service.

The “Prince of Doom”

They used to call him the “Prince of Doom” because of his unfashionable view on the flimsy nature of the U.S. economy.

You see, my dad’s old friend “Jim” is bestselling investment author James Dale Davidson.

James Dale Davidson

Along with former editor of the The Times newspaper Lord William Rees-Mogg, he wrote Blood in the Streets: Investment Profits in a World Gone Mad (1988), The Great Reckoning: Protecting Yourself in the Coming Depression (1994) and The Sovereign Individual: Mastering the Transition to the Information Age (1999).

But he is not a typical doom and gloomer. He’s a far-seeing crisis investor and an activist against big government.

He’s also the founder and Chairman Emeritus of the National Tax Payers Union, the largest and oldest grassroots taxpayer organization in the nation, with 362,000 members nationwide.

 Jim got his start as an assistant to a billionaire venture capitalist.

 Since then, he’s helped investors protect their wealth and profit by accurately forecasting some of the most earth-shattering financial events of our time, such as:

    - The fall of Communism and the death of the Soviet Union

   - The October 1987 stock market crash

    - The sub-prime mortgage crisis

    - The rise of Islamic terrorism (and an attack on the World Trade Center)

    - The Japanese crash at the end of the 1980s

    - The collapse of the U.S. housing market

    - The current government bailouts and the nationalization of U.S. banks

These historic shifts seemed impossible when he first warned investors about them. (Newsweek even described Davidson's forecasts as "an unthinking attack on reason." But subsequent events have proven Jim right.)

And beyond just predicting these events, he gave specific recommendations of how to take advantage of them.

He started publishing a bulletin for investors back in 1984. And over the years, he has helped readers protect themselves and see big gains time and time again.

• In 1989, when the Nikkei Dow was at 39,000, Jim predicted an imminent plunge and allowed readers to profit handsomely
  
  
• He nearly tripled his readers' money on AMDL, the developer of a new technology for the monitoring and early detection of cancer.
  
  
• He bagged readers gains of 405% on Philip Morris by accurately predicting a bounce in the stock following president Bill Clinton’s anti-tobacco legislation
  
  
• His oil trading predictions pointed the way to 900% profits for readers
  
  
• He told readers of a 100% legal way to save $138,000 in taxes
  
  
• He gave subscribers an opportunity to turn a quick 617% profit on the devaluation of the British pound. (Each $4,050 became $25,000 in just two months.)

And he has given his readers many, many more opportunities for abnormal returns over the years...

A Maverick Crisis Investor

Jim has had a long career as a successful crisis investor.

He made $10 million by exploiting the global denationalization of resources that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union. (Some of the former Soviet republics later invited Jim to work as an official economic advisor.)

He later seized a "blood in the streets" opportunity in Argentina. He invested in the Banco Comafi just a few months after Argentina’s currency collapse in 2001. Banco Comafi has since grown 20-fold and has emerged as one of the leading private banks in Argentina.

About 15 years ago, he invested in seven miles of prime oceanfront property in New Zealand. At the time, New Zealand was an undiscovered backwater. But Jim realized the value of the beautiful land and snatched it up for pennies on the dollar. (He now owns an award-wining winery nearby.)

And during dot-com bubble, he profited as an early investor in Newsmax.com, currently one of the most successful conservative news websites on the internet.

Jim recently remarried to a former Miss Brazil, which has given him (beyond just a beautiful wife) valuable connections within the upper echelons of Brazilian business and real estate. (He shares attractive Brazilian opportunities (but not his wife) with readers of his new letter.)

Jim has also worked hard as an activist against irresponsible government.

In September 1989, he testified before the House Ways and Means Committee about the dangers of government sponsored enterprises (GSEs) such a Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae in one of the first oversight hearing on GSEs since their inception.

At the time he noted, "One of the unfortunate lessons of the Savings and Loan debacle is that off-budget activities, loan guarantees and quasi-government functions can have a tremendous impact on the federal budget … Should a similar fiscal catastrophe hit GSEs, bailout costs could multiply to levels that would not currently seem credible."

Amid assurances from GSE executives that their entities were well capitalized (and, not coincidentally, amid multimillion-dollar GSE lobbying operations) the house committee ignored his warning.

Had Congress heeded Jim's warning the recent sub-prime debacle may have been averted.

Unlike so many armchair investment gurus out there, Jim has been in the trenches making money for three decades. And I really believe there could be no one better to guide through the dangerous market we are currently facing.

That's why, on that dock outside Buenos Aires three months ago, I made a special arrangement with Jim to publish his latest crisis investing ideas as part of new financial alert service called Crisis Strategy Alert.

It's dedicated to seeing you through the hard times that are, unfortunately, here to stay for at least the next couple of years, if not for longer.

A word of warning. This is not a high-flying trading service. Jim takes your financial future and his own far too seriously to put them at risk with high-stakes bets.

Each one of Jim’s recommendations are rock-solid wealth protectors … investments like the “Bounce Bonds” I told you about earlier ... ways that practically guarantee your principle as well as offering significant upside gains.

Let me show you how this service works…

Here's What We're Going to Do...
A Broad Outline of the ‘Omega Plan’

1. We will show you how to ride out the deflationary part of the slump with safe positions in special types of bonds and dividend plays. The key here is to generate plenty of double-digit income streams.  

2. We will show you how to save tens of thousands and protect ourselves from the coming Obama tax onslaught with 100% legal asset protection strategies.  

3. We will then begin to look at promising emerging market opportunities and recommend positions in world-class businesses at bargain prices.  

4. We will give you opportunities to snap up real assets and miners to profit once inflation kicks in and sends commodity prices surging again  

5. Finally, we will help you position yourself to profit by triple-digits from the demise of the dollar. We will “bet against the false premise,” as George Soros would say.
