[Critical Signals Report] APRIL 11, 2019 Prepare for Unprecedented Market Drop (brand new report enclosed!) By Matt Piepenburg Dear Reader, Regardless of your market experience (novice, expert to self-proclaimed genius) or market views (bull, bear or just plain cynic), we can all agree that it's good to be diversified and even better to have a plan these days, as markets flip and flop. So, what's your plan? If you've read my free Launch Report, [12 Ways to Protect and Grow Your Wealth Today](, or the report [Why America Is Already the Most Socialist Country in the World]( then you'll know I've grown a bit more, well...bearish since the post-2008 Fed "recovery." Given the fact that today the Fed has more short-term influence over the markets (via interest rate control) than natural supply and demand, distortion abounds, which means anything is possible-including bull runs in otherwise bearish debt cycles, as we just saw in Q1. But with $72 trillion in combined private, public and corporate debt, plus another $122 trillion in "unfunded liability" debt (i.e. social security, Medicare etc.), it's fair for any of us to agree that the U.S. is heading into a debt disaster at some point-and that can only be seen as bearish indeed. With such debt levels looming in the background, you need to ask yourselves if riding out a storm in a traditional, diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds is still the best approach. You must also ask yourself about the risk/reward probabilities in markets heading into the late stages of a tired business cycle. That is, you need to ask yourself just how much risk you think makes sense today. The Right Risk-Management Strategies for You Today Should you be more in cash? Or should you just be "all-in" via a well-diversified portfolio where you avoid trying to time the markets and simply ride-out the bad times and ride up the good times in a nice, traditional "set-it-and-forget" pie chart allocation? After all, such traditional approaches are the bread and butter of the majority of wealth advisory services. Today's wealth advisory industry holds fast to "Modern Portfolio Theory", which strongly believes it's better to stay the course through bull and bear cycles, as no one can really time a market top or bottom. As such, they fiercely maintain it's more profitable to essentially ride out the troughs and enjoy the peaks, for in the long run, such largely passive approaches result in greater long-term returns. In fact, history confirms that such an approach worked quite well. Unfortunately, history in general, and market history in particular, has changed since 2008. Since 2008, such a traditional approach to portfolio construction and management is no longer as safe as the "experts" might otherwise believe-or have you believed. More to the point-it's the worst advice you could follow. Given central bank intervention (i.e. distortion) of market forces and the historically unprecedented debt levels that loom over the world in general, and the U.S. in particular, such traditional advice is just as outdated as a CB radio compared to an iPhone. In other words, the times have changed, the markets have changed and the risks have changed. Stated bluntly and worth repeating: The traditional "set-it-and-forget-it" pie-chart model of yesterday is probably the very worst strategy for today's markets and tomorrow's recession, especially if you are over 60. Now, we all know that the worst thing you can say in the markets is "this time it's different." But if we look at what has happened to markets in the last 10+ years, you'll see that in certain, very critical ways, things really are different. There's More to Know in Managing The Risk Coming to Your Portfolio I'm here to say that if you're relying on old ways of managing market risk and building portfolios, you're in for a harsh awakening. Yep. Sounds pretty dramatic. Sounds like more of the same "shock and awe, doom and gloom" stuff we are all so tired of seeing in our inboxes or popping up on our internet searches-especially as markets seem to just keep climbing. But folks, I'm no perma-bear nor "doom and gloomer." I'm a former hedge fund manager and family office CIO with decades of experience investing billions of dollars into the entire gamut of market cycles, bull to bear, and what I'm about to share with you are facts, not "fear-spin." That is why I'm offering you the attached free report, [Don't Get Crushed by Traditional Portfolio Thinking](. My aim here isn't to scare you, but simply to inform you, so that you can make common sense changes to the way you look at markets, your portfolio and hence your future. Money is part of all our lives. It matters. That is why facts also matter, and I am interested in arming as many people as I can with what I know, and what most of us Wall Street insiders already know-namely that historically unmatched debt gave us a big "recovery," and that same debt is also going to hand us an historically unmatched recession. And this knowledge, these facts, should not be reserved for just a small circle of fancy lads paying high fees to select portfolio managers in Manhattan zip codes. These facts need to be available to everyone. There are steps you can take to manage risk and prepare your portfolios in a common-sense manner regardless of what the majority of others are doing, and regardless of your market experience or exposure to so-called "experts." All you need is exposure to facts. So please just take a glance at this [free report](. The information is clear. What you do with it is entirely up to you.
