I attended the Agora Wealth Conference in New Orleans in November 2006. I found it very interesting to associate with other investors and pick up on their thinking. I met Jim Rogers and got a signed copy of his book “Adventure Capitalist”. Listening to the various speakers and learning about the political powers which may affect investment decisions reveals much about the problems in the USA today. The main comment from a speaker was “there is always more money to be made advising people how to invest their money than by actually investing it!” The high priced teaser newsletters are a gold mine for the publishers. Thank you for providing a clear and reasonable alternative to the teasers.

Thanks for the input, my impression over several years of reading the free Weiss newsletters and subscrining to one (REAL WEALTH), is that they are one of the more honest (straightforward) newsletter groups out there which may not be saying much. A firend of mine subcribed to one of their $5000. services, made out like gang busters one year and lost $30,000. the next!Like all of them there is a lot of hype and you need to do your due diligence but on the whole I find them to be one of the priciest for what you get.

i get the promos from weiss all the time. most recently one titled “commercial real estate woes smashing US banks” which, once you ante up $2500 for a year, will give you some good “recos” for put options to capitalize on the situation. i guess “reco” is a term the newsletter folks use somewhat cynically among themselves over a beer, and it must say something about the state of the industry when they start using the term in promos to the customer. to his credit, tho, weiss has been bearish on the financial stocks for quite some time, also pushing gold. i’d be interested to know which of the banks he’s shorting, if anyone is able to gumshoe it out. here’s a link to get onto his email list: http://www.emailpreferencecenter.com/epcLogin.asp

Apparently, anonymous did not read your post since it is obvious that Weiss wouldn’t make a dime off his recommendation of EWZ. (I wish I bought that one a few years ago when it first caught my attention.)

I am amazed how one can be taken into the investment game by ” speakers and creative writers”. Its like falling in love. a state of temporary insanity. As hucksters, could it possibly be their trying to make money based on their word use and not true market knowledge? While there is no absolute way to eliminte risk, research minimizes risk.GI
