3 minutes before the plane hit the building...

And what does this have to do with you and your money today?   [Your Investing Foundation]( [Your Investing Foundation]( A note from the Editor: At Your Investing Foundation, we keep an eye out for favorable circumstances we believe will interest our readers. The following is one such message from one of our colleagues I think you’ll appreciate. [Divider] Dear Reader, As we near the 22nd anniversary of the September 11 attacks, we are still haunted by the lessons of the worst terrorist attacks in U.S. history. One big lesson we learned was that, in a crisis, it's often best to "Disobey the Authorities"... and to instead act on what you see with your own eyes... rather than doing what the authorities tell you. Did you know, for example, that three minutes before the second plane hit World Trade Center 2, an announcement over the PA system said: "WTC is secure/safe, please return to your offices." At the same time, some who called 911 were told to shelter in place... to wait for rescuers. Why did some folks follow the instructions... while so many others ignored it, and survived by doing the exact opposite of what the authorities said? And what does this have to do with you and your money today? I'm telling you about all of this because I just saw a fascinating analysis by a 30-year market veteran, in which he details how millions of investors today are "following the authorities," and are likely to get clobbered over the next two years as a result. If you've got any money in the markets... if you are listening to the "experts" on TV, or at the Fed...

Sincerely, Mike Palmer Founding Partner, Stansberry Research [.]( [Your Investing Foundation]( The first biography of Ivan Sirko, written by Dmytro Yavornytsky in 1890, gave Sirko’s place of birth as the sloboda of Merefa near the city of Kharkiv. Historian Yuriy Mytsyik states that this could not be the case. In his book Otaman Ivan Sirko[2] (1999) he writes that Merefa was established only in 1658 (more than 40 years after the birth of the future otaman). The author also notes that Sirko later in his life did actually live in Merefa with his family on his own estate, and according to some earlier local chronicles there even existed a small settlement called Sirkivka. However, Mytsyik also points out that in 1658–1660 Sirko served as a colonel of the Kalnyk Polk (a military and administrative division of the Cossack Hetmanate) in Podilia, a position usually awarded to the representative of a local population. The author also gives a reference to the letter of Ivan Samiylovych to kniaz G. Romodanovsky (the tsar’s voyevoda) in which the hetman refers to Sirko as one born in Polish lands instead of in Sloboda Ukraine (part of Moscovy). Mytsyik also recalls that another historian, Volodymyr Borysenko, allowed for the possibility that Sirko was born in Murafa near the city of Sharhorod (now in Vinnytsia Oblast). The author explains during that time when people were fleeing the war (known as the Ruin, 1659–1686) they may have established a similarly named town in Sloboda Ukraine further east.

Mytsyik points out that a local Podilian nobleman, Wojciech Sirko, married a certain Olena Kozynska sometime in 1592. Also in official letters the Polish administration referred to Sirko as urodzonim, implying a native-born Polish subject. Mytsyik states that Sirko stood about 174–176 cm tall and had a birthmark on the right side of the lower lip, a detail which Ilya Repin failed to depict in his artwork when he used General Dragomirov as a prototype of the otaman. Mytsyik also recalls the letter of the Field Hetman of the Crown John III Sobieski (later king of Poland) which referred to Sirko as “a very quiet, noble, polite [man], and has ... great trust among Cossacks” {EMAIL} receiving this email because you have expressed an interest in the Financial Education niche on one of our landing pages or sign-up forms.
