Dear Fellow Investor,

Evidence that the U.S. economy is now slipping into recession has become overwhelming.

You can hardly open a newspaper or turn on a TV without hearing more bad news, including the lowest consumer confidence ever reported. Even that master of understatement, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan admits "we may be going into a recession."

However, you and your finances do not have to be victims. Our exclusive new investor report shows you how to safely navigate the dangerous waters of a 2008 Recession, and find investments that enable you to preserve and increase your wealth.

The Report is "Not All Train Wrecks Are Bad: How to Prosper In A Recession." You can get your FREE copy immediately by clicking here.

Our new investor report shows you how to
navigate the treacherous waters of
what could be a very ugly 2008 Recession

First and foremost in our new report, you will learn how to not be taken in by dangerous economic myths now appearing in many media investor columns, including . . .

Myth #1: The worst of the mortgage crisis is behind us.
Myth #2: Real estate is close to a bottom.
Myth #3: The dollar will continue to plunge.
Myth #4: Foreign currencies are now a safe investment.
Myth #5: Commodities will continue to soar even in a recession.

Next we examine . . .

20 banks and financial institutions
most at risk from the mortgage meltdown
(is your bank on the list?)

As you might expect, Bear Stearns made the list. But so did Bank or America, and many other institutions where millions of Americans put their money for safe-keeping!

If you have more than a few thousand dollars in the bank, you don't want to miss this list on page 2 of our new report. If your bank is on it, you might want to consider getting out now while you still can, and moving to a safer institution.

Then we examine the myth that commodity prices can continue to move upwards even in a major recession. For instance, a lot of people point to the rapid growth in demand for commodities from China. But what they forget is that the U.S. is China's major trading partner, if our economic suffers a deep recession, we will buy a lot less from China, likely plunging that nation into recession also.

Indeed, as we stress in our new report, the 2008 recession will almost certainly be global and could last for many years.

That's enough to greatly slow-down if not reverse the commodity boom market we have had for at least 7 years.

How long before housing bottoms out? . . . What are the safest places to put your money now? . . . and dozens of other urgent financial questions are answered in our new report

This just scratches the surface of the urgent financial issue dealt with in our new "Prospering In Recession" Report. To get your FREE copy now, click here.

You will also learn . . .

How long the housing meltdown will likely continue.
Why "dirt cheap" apartments in foreclosed condos are one of the worst investments you can make.

Why T. Boone Pickens, the Oracle of Oil, expects a price drop in oil soon.

Three states where commercial real estate is still a good investment — and areas to avoid.

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?

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.

The News Isn't All Bad — Big Opportunities
Ahead For Savvy Investors. We Show You Them All

Investment opportunities are always out there, in good times and bad. New opportunities are waiting for you in 2008, and FIR can help you find them: Every issue is packed with news and recommendations for up-and-coming stocks that meet our investment criteria.

Our stock picks clobbered the S&P 500 in 2004 through 2006: +15% in 2006, +28% in 2005, and +58.4% in 2004. And in addition to great stock picks, FIR covers stocks, bonds, munis, options, commodities and precious metals.

Consider this: If you had subscribed to Financial Intelligence Report four years ago with just $50,000 in your account and followed our advice and recommendations precisely, it would be worth $181,336 today — without having added a single penny. Suppose you had taken action FIRs stock.

Expert, Independent And Often Contrarian Insights

FIR has an incredible track record. Since 2003, the year it began publishing, it has outpaced the S&P every year — and its current portfolio picks top the S&P by over 30 percentage points!

The Financial Intelligence Report is edited each month by a team of analysts and experts led by its publisher, Christopher Ruddy.

Ruddy, a graduate of the London School of Economics, serves on the board of the prestigious Financial Publisher's Association and has been a noted commentator and author.

Ruddy and the FIR team, in turn, speak with some of the great financial minds to give our readers the other side of the story — beyond the media spin.

Our FIR team and contributors includes:

  • Gen. Alexander Haig, the former secretary of state, leading statesman and businessman
  • Lord William Rees-Mogg, the former editor of the Times of London and best-selling co-author of "The Great Reckoning" and "Blood on the Streets"
  • David Frazier, an investment securities industry expert who brings to the table more than 20 years' experience in the financial markets — he's worked for several top firms, including Dun & Bradstreet and Investor's Business Daily
  • Axel Merk, president of Merk Investments, an independent investment adviser focused on growth, value, gold, and cash strategies
  • Hans Etienne Parisis, a Belgian-born bank economist who has advised global billionaires and governments on the financial markets and international investments. Parisis is based in Panama City, Panama

And much, much more!

Alexander Haig says the Financial Intelligence Report is a "must-read for the global investor."

This is just a part of our team. Our approach is not to rely on insular opinions about the markets, but to seek out the best and brightest, globally.
