Written Mar 11, 2022 "A golden bait hung temptingly out before the people, and one after the other, they rushed to the tulip-marts, like flies around a honey pot. Nobles, citizens, farmers, mechanics, sea-men, footmen, maid-servants, even chimney-sweeps and old clothes-women, dabbled in tulips." — Charles Mackay, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds --------------------------------------------------------------- In the mid-1600s, tulips had become all the rage in Europe. The flower first made its way to the continent from the Asian steppes by way of the ancient Silk Road trade routes. Its exotic fragrance, bell shape, and bright, bold hues of pink, orange, yellow, and red were unlike anything else Europe had ever seen before. Demand amongst aristocrats skyrocketed. However, the flower required meticulous care to thrive in the colder climate. Seizing an opportunity, local cultivators in Holland quickly learned to grow tulip bulbs that could withstand the harsher Dutch weather. Soon after, a thriving flower market unlike any the world would ever see again grew out of nowhere. Top flower cultivators could command huge prices for the heartier varieties, fetching over six times the average Dutchman’s annual salary for a single extra-rare bulb. I don’t know how much you make a year, but imagine paying six times that for one flower! Early Bitcoiner Is Now All-in on THIS Christian DeHaemer was one of the first independent financial analysts to recommend Bitcoin and Ethereum... setting people up to make over $1 million with a starting stake of just a few thousand dollars. But right now, he’s tracking six tiny NEW cryptocurrencies, each of which has the potential to rise 10,000% or more in the VERY near future. Check out his urgent report on the next generation of cryptocurrencies by [clicking here NOW.]( Demand and prices for tulips were so high that cultivators needed a way to hedge against unforeseen headwinds, such as bad weather or pests resulting in a less bountiful harvest. This need to protect their explosively popular industry spawned one of the first speculative trading markets ever. To hedge risk in case of a bad harvest or profit a little extra in light of good flower yields, tulip wholesalers began to trade speculative tulips futures contracts. At first, the trading of these contracts correlated very closely to the price of the actual tulip bulbs. But as demand continued to surge year after year, traders of these contracts found that their gains were often 10, 50, or even 100 times more than the value of the flower itself. A secondary market for tulips had officially emerged. This gave everyone from noblemen and women to average townsfolk the chance to get a slice of the incredible wealth at hand. In fact, it was not unheard of for families to use their entire fortunes to speculate on the tulip bulb market. Imagine being a normal tavern owner and waking up the next day as rich as the nobility themselves! "Plastic Killer" Could Soar to Historic Gains One tiny company is about to disrupt the $579 billion plastic market... Its patented biological alternative could be worth billions soon. Major brands could soon depend on this innovation developed in cooperation with the University of British Columbia. Giants like Nestlé and Keurig could run to this tiny company for help, as they’ll have to replace their standard plastics. Gains of as much as 6,896% are on the table. But this is urgent... Because radical environmental policies are unfolding right now… and this unexpected turn of events could make this company huge. [Read this briefing]( for the details before it’s too late. Much like the tulip futures market created vast wealth for everyday folks, the basic principles behind this amazing story can still be applied to today’s stock markets in a very similar way to produce incredible profits off relatively small investments. Let me show you how. Asymmetric Profits — an Investor’s Dream Come True First, I have a question. Would you spend $86 to make $340? The reason I ask is because this is exactly what traders who use my Asymmetric Profits system were able to do just a few months back. It was a trade I uncovered in the world’s most popular coffee brand, Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX). "Miracle Mineral" at Center of Multi-Trillion Wealth Bonanza Inside each of these spheres is a natural resource more important than oil, coal, or gas. It’s called the “Miracle Mineral.” [See how this little-known resource could give savvy investors the chance to turn $500 into $82,175 over the next few months.]( But here’s the really cool thing for any reader who multiplied their investment: They also exponentially increased their returns. For example, in this same trade, if you had invested $860, it would have become $3,400, and an investment of $8,600 would have become $34,000... All from just a single small trade made at the right time with the right asset. That kind of money could seriously change someone’s life. It could insulate you from ever worrying about the things most people have to worry about: retirement, your future, your kids’ futures... Much like it changed many everyday Dutch citizens’ lives when they used these same basic principles to strike it rich on Dutch tulips. That’s the [power of asymmetry]( in its simplest form. And now I’m unveiling my personal Asymmetric Profits strategy to unleash over 49 times the normal returns you get on an average stock gain. This is hands down the best way to trade the markets I've ever seen, no matter if it’s bearish, bullish, or flat. [VIP access starts here.]( To your wealth, Sean McCloskey
