Wall Street’s Advice Could be Hazardous to Your Wealth ...
Here’s a Therapy for Financial Insanity ...
This Strategy Gained +41.7% While the S&P 500 LOST -20.9%*
We are in the clutches of a SEVERE, secular bear market. On a global basis, $50 TRILLION in wealth has been destroyed in the past 18 months alone ... and this bear market could still be FAR from over!
Volatility has reached extreme levels ... even higher than the aftermath of the 1929 stock market crash during the Great Depression. Investors are puzzled about how to defend their wealth – let alone find opportunities to profit – in this turbulent market.
Fortunately, there IS a way to not only “hedge” your investments against another market decline ... but possibly earn profits during the NEXT bear market sell-off!

Investors are hopeful that the government’s latest bail-out plans might somehow turn back the clock and stop this epic sell-off in housing and in stocks.
But those who think this bear market is near a bottom, and the economy will soon recover ... may be only kidding themselves!
Here’s why...
The U.S. economy is perhaps headed into the worst contraction since the 1930s. Investors are finally waking up to the possibility this is not a “recession” at all ... but could be another DEPRESSION ...
The investment rules have changed, so it’s time for a change in strategy...
Don’t assume that stocks have reached a final bottom yet...

Investors have no doubt suffered from unnecessary losses in this bear market. But to add insult to injury, many brokers, advisors and fund managers FAIL to recognize the errors of their ways.
Here’s the problem: too many of Wall Street’s best and brightest are still BUYING and HOLDING investments that have plunged 60% ... 70% ... or even 97% in value!
They refuse to cut losses ... raise cash ... and HEDGE against the possibility of a longer secular bear market that could last many years.
Investing your money this way is INSANE ... and could be dangerous to your wealth in the NEXT phase of this bear market.
Sure, investors are cheering recent government action to stabilize financial markets ... but how long will it last? In fact, this recent uptrend may turn out to be just another bear-market-bounce.
Many of the real-time indicators we follow closely at Weiss Capital Management tell us we face a worsening economy ahead ... and stocks may still have further to fall before reaching a final BOTTOM.
In fact, by some measures, the Dow could sink to 4000 — and the S&P 500 could slide to 400 or worse before this bear is finished destroying your wealth. In short, your portfolio may still face considerable risks from this secular bear market. But how can you safeguard your wealth?
The good news: there are ways to help defend your investments — and it’s not too late to act now — to help protect and potentially grow your wealth even during a bear market.
In fact, there's never been a better time to consider a strategy that’s designed to help defend your capital and that aims for potential gains amid widespread stock market losses:

While past performance is no assurance of future returns, the Weiss Bear Strategy has built an impressive track record since we launched it on December 31, 2000.
And it’s in a bear market — as we have today — when this strategy really shines …
Since inception, the Weiss Bear Strategy has delivered a return of +41.7%; compared to -20.9% for the S&P 500 Index over the same period.*
It’s important to point out that this is an aggressive strategy and may not be right for every investor. What’s more, just like any investment, you can lose money in this program. But if you're looking for a way to help protect your investment portfolio, and potentially earn gains amid widespread market losses, you should consider the Weiss Bear Strategy for TWO important reasons...
#1:
The Weiss Bear Strategy can help you “hedge” a portion of your core, long-term investments that may be vulnerable to the next stock market sell-off. #2:
You may be able to earn short-term profits during the next down-move in this severe bear-market sell-off — which could come at any time.
Past performance is not indicative of future results and as with any investment program it is possible to lose money by investing in the program. There are no guarantees that the program will achieve its stated objectives. Prior to investing, please read the Firm’s ADV Part II and program specific materials regarding risk, suitability, and important disclosures.
