All-Star Investment Gurus to Meet in The Bahamas

Global Financial Summit, Atlantis Resort, Bahamas, March 16-19, 2016:

Fellow investors will be happy to know that for the first time in two years, I am hosting the Global Financial Summit, a special private investment seminar, in The Bahamas, March 16-19. The focus will be “High Income & Fast Money Investing” — combining my two most successful trading services. I have invited several experts to speak at this exclusive private meeting, which is limited to 300 attendees. Alex Green, investment director of the Oxford Club and editor of three trading services (Momentum Alert, Insider Trader and True Value Alert), is rated the #5 best investor, according to Hulbert Financial Digest. I’ve also confirmed Martin Truax, managing director at Raymond James, whose “income & growth” portfolio has more than tripled during the past 10 years. Truax and his partner Ron Miller have also developed a highly successful trading system using “red” and “green” signals for when to get in and out of markets. Ziad Abdelnour, the New York commodity trader, will also be speaking. Our keynote speaker will be Steve Moore, the chief economist for the Heritage Foundation and the #1 columnist for the Wall Street Journal, who will speak on “Money & Politics 2016: The Inside Story for Private Investors.” The dates are March 16-19, 2016, at the five-star Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island, Nassau, The Bahamas. This is during high season, so I urge you to make your flight reservations now. I will be announcing more top experts in portfolio management, tax and estate planning and foreign investing soon, but I want to encourage you to sign up now to take advantage of our special “early bird” discount — $200 off the retail price if you register by Jan. 15. Only $495 per person/$795 per couple. And hotel rates at the five-star Atlantis Resort start at only $209 per night. We are limiting this private meeting to 300 attendees only.
