Newsmax RATE SHOCK Intelligence Report 

For many months, I have been warning investors that a major U.S. recession was all too likely, and could quickly be set off by any one of many possible “triggers.” Now one of those triggers has been “pulled,” and recession may be unavoidable.

That trigger was major, recent rises in key interest rates -- which will quickly have major consequences for our economy and your investments.

As we explain in our new Rate Shock Financial Intelligence Report, in late June, the rate benchmark 10-year Treasury Bonds rose to 5.3% -- a five year high.

This rate is crucial because when it goes up, virtually all other interest rates quickly also follow. That means much higher rates for business borrowing, mortgages, credit card bills, and, in time, higher prices for everything you buy.

As economist Robert J. Samuelson explains, the most important number in the America economy is “not the price of oil, computer chips, wheat, or cars,” but the price of money itself.

Rising interest rates and their consequences will undoubtedly be disastrous for many investors. Yet it also provides some unprecedented opportunities if you know where to invest.

That’s precisely the point of my new Rate Shock Financial Intelligence Report.

In this exclusive report, you will learn not one but many simple, practical strategies that will now only you to protect your assets during the coming recession, but to actually continue to build your wealth! However, you must act quickly.

Lot’s more evidence of impending recession

Rising interest rates are just one of many growing economic problems you’ll learn about in our new Rate Shock Report, which, together unmistakably spell R-E-C-E-S-S-I-O-N, including . . .

• Faltering economic growth: During the first quarter of this year, annualized economic growth slowed to a pathetic 0.6%!
• Slowing corporate profit growth: First quarter, after-tax corporate profits were down by over 50% in 2006 vs. 2005. That means less purchases for raw materials, machinery, equipment, and labor; in a word, “recession.”
• Declining retail sales.
• Falling capital spending: Capital spending is also down nearly 50%!
• Higher labor costs, which means less money for everything else.

Protecting yourself and your investments from recession

If a U.S. recession is indeed imminent, what can you do to protect yourself?

In our new Rate Shock Financial Intelligent Report you’ll learn six specific steps to take now to including . . .
