Dear Fellow Investor,

Recently one of the world's great money managers, Rudolph-Riad Younes was interviewed by Barron's. He runs the Julius Baer International Equity Fund, which has out performed the S&P by more than 100% over the past five years!

So when he speaks, we listen!

Younes warns that we are in an "age of decadence" that could end up in disaster or if we get real and confront some of the underlying problems, "an age of renaissance." He says that the Fed, investment banks, corporate leadership, credit rating firms, and accounting firms have all failed the investor.

The official inflation rate has been nothing but a fantasy he claims!

I'm talking about real world inflation — so-called "headline" inflation — which factors in food and energy and currently runs about 8% - 10%.

Stealth inflation is very real, and it's literally robbing investors blind because Uncle Sam refuses to acknowledge it. You can't blame them however. It saves them billions of dollars a year!

But inflation is much higher as you and I, and every American knows. Check out the food prices in your local grocery store lately? Milk prices? How about filling up your car each week at the pump?

Oil prices have been skyrocketing since 2006. Worse yet, the price of oil is being driven up by our own weak dollar, the root cause that's pumping up inflation in the first place! For example, Europeans are not experiencing an oil shock at all, because their Euros are stronger than our dollar.

So except for a handful of high-profile, ivory-tower experts and investment gurus, it's hard to believe that anybody who lives in the real world—anybody paying for food, heating oil, gasoline, health, and education—actually believes that inflation is just two percent!

Of course Financial Intelligence Report has been telling our readers about the inflation lie for years. We believe it is the most pressing problem facing U.S. investors, and we are glad one of the world's most respected money managers agrees with our view.

Financial Intelligence Report Stock Picks Soaring!

As we predicted in our year-end wrap-up, 2008 would be a volatile year. So much for the so called "January Effect" — the Dow plunged 200 points on the first trading day of the year, and another 200-plus point mauling followed, lopping 4.2% off the Dow for the first week of the year.

With news of a weakening economy, market participants responded with their customary knee-jerk defense. Stocks sank. Bonds roared higher. Yields tumbled. The dollar swooned, and gold surged to a record high.

But we remain eternally hopeful that, despite current share price weakness, investors will return to the equity market. While the picture might look bad now, we're as optimistic as the next man on the street that the Fed and the government will act quickly and responsibly to combat the current economic slowdown.

And while the overseas and especially emerging markets have recoiled recently, we still believe that these are excellent places to invest. So far, our stock picks continue to make our subscribers money.
Our gold ETFs are up considerably. StreetTracks Gold Trust (GLD) and iShares Comes Gold Trust (IAU) are each up more than 32% since we first recommended them in January 2007.

Food prices also continue to surge. We are making money with PowerShares DB Agriculture Fund (DBA) up +35,4%.

We also mentioned that emerging-markets investments have recoiled recently. And while that is true for most emerging markets, iShares MSCI Malaysia (EWM) continues to buck the trend. It's up +28.3% since we first bought it 12-months ago.

Finally, as stocks continue to fall, our ETFs that short the overall market and certain sectors of the market continue to pay off. ProShares UltraShort S&P 500 (SDS), which returns double the inverse of the S&P 500 is up 9.7% this year and our ProShares UltraShort Financials (SKF) is up a whopping 31.5% since we recommended them less than three months ago!

Some Real-World Scenarios For 2008

I apologize in advance if what I'm about to tell you gets you depressed, but we're simply not about to parrot the "see no evil, hear no evil" mantra of the mainstream media. Our special report 2008: Year of Financial Reckoning analyzes the trends and shows you how to survive and prosper.

So be warned: Before the recession is officially acknowledged, the stock market will crack big time! But here is how to position yourself to profit:

• Recession is a natural counterbalance to expansion — that's bad enough — but the coming recession will be worse than usual for three reasons: First, the recent boom was based on excessive leverage and overly abundant liquidity — a correction that reverses such leverage is likely to be more severe than usual.
   

• Second, the credit crisis will make a healthy recovery more difficult and slow. And, finally, there's growing evidence of stagflation — and a dangerously weak dollar will make the Fed hesitant and therefore chronically late in lowering interest rates in order to ease recession. We've been predicting a recession for about a year, and all the signs are here. In our special report, we lay it all out for you in plain language with charts and facts and logic.
   

• Stagflation happens when both inflation and recession exist at the same time: Prices rise, yet jobs become scarce and pay drops — and thus spending, the engine of the U.S. economy — stagnates or declines. It is the most insidious economic ill. When you add these all these forces together—low employment, recession, slow growth and inflation—presto, you get stagflation. That's the hard reality.
  Prepare yourself now or get creamed in 2008.
   

• Stealth inflation will accelerate and many investors won't even see what hit them in 2008. And as the dollar sinks further, real inflation is accelerating. In fact, currency traders are already exploiting this situation, hence the fall of the dollar against gold, the Swiss franc, and other depreciating currencies including the euro, sterling, and yen.
   

• When the recession finally becomes visible, financial markets will react, abruptly and violently: Short-term treasuries will rise in price, temporarily (anticipating rate cuts), and long-term treasuries will fall in price (seeing inflation). Credit spreads will widen dramatically (sensing defaults) and corporate earnings will fall: Stock markets will plummet, dragging even healthy companies down with the bad, at least for a time.

As individual investors, all we can do is prepare and plan for the worst so that our assets are safe and even grow. Don't get caught off guard! Position your portfolio now for protection and profit, otherwise you could pay a huge price later this year for procrastinating.

Financial Intelligence Report continually spots new trends, helps its readers make money, and gives you expert analysis on the financial markets each and every month.

Since 2002, we've shown an uncanny ability to ferret out what is truly happening as it relates to the U.S. and global economy. It's easy to join the chorus line. We prefer to give you the facts before the rest.

Our reports and predictions have been so uncannily accurate, they read like prophesy. Here are some key trends we focused on in 2007 (and our first "early warning" of each trend):

• Housing bust (FIR's first warning: 2005)

• Credit crunch (2005)

• Falling dollar (2004)

• Skyrocketing oil (2006)

• Rising gold price (2004)

The Mainstream Financial Media Isn't Telling You What You Need to Know to Survive and Prosper in 2008

Granted, the U.S. government has good reasons in artificially lowering the official inflation rate: Interest payments on treasuries and social security payments are reduced by billions of dollars. Also, our economic growth rate (GDP) is officially "deflated" by a smaller number, which makes our politically-important growth rate appear healthier and the threat of recession seem more distant.

But what's up with the mainstream business media and their "see no evil, hear no evil" coverage of all this? As we said earlier, hardly any of the expert economists and gurus didn't expect a recession following the 2000 tech crash, either.

Forewarned is forearmed: We invite you to subscribe to the Financial Intelligence Report, and use it as your early-warning radar for global trends: You'll get real-world investment news and ideas you won't get from the mainstream news media
