For a Very Limited Time Only…
Receive Everything Mauldin Economics Offers for Life!

And You Won’t Believe the Price…

Dear Mauldin Reader,

Legendary investor Warren Buffett says the “most important investment you can make is in yourself… You can become, to an enormous degree, the person you want to be.”

Who do you want to be?

If it’s a person with financial freedom… a person with thorough knowledge of the markets, macro trends, investor psychology, and more… a person who moves in circles populated by the finest minds in economics and finance… a person who can tap into and learn from decades of experience at the click of a button…

 Then I have a special announcement for you.

The Mauldin Alpha Society, our lifetime membership service, is now open to a limited number of new members, for a limited time.

As a Mauldin reader, this letter is your exclusive invitation to join the Mauldin Alpha Society and receive the following privileges:

	Get every research service Mauldin Economics publishes today—for life. Over the next 10 years alone, that adds up to a value of $66,620 (not counting any new services we may launch in the future).
	Get all future Mauldin Economics research services we’ll publish—essentially for free. No matter how much we charge for any new research service, as an Alpha Society member, you’ll receive it at no additional cost.
	Attend any Mauldin conference or special event at a 20% discount to what regular attendees will pay. That includes a 20% savings on our Strategic Investment Conference on May 22–25, 2017, in Orlando, Florida. The 20% discount on this “must-attend” event alone is worth an additional $499.
	Network with John Mauldin, his friends, and other Alpha Society members. You’ll receive exclusive invitations to member-only events where you can rub elbows with other members as well as John Mauldin and his high-level contacts.
	Customize your delivery options. The members-only dashboardwill allow you to easily change your preferences.
	Be the first to hear about upcoming events and new services with our pre-announcement and priority registration feature.
	And finally, get the best and most dedicated customer support. As a Mauldin Alpha Society member, you are on the top of our priority list. We’ll make sure your inquiries are always handled immediately and with the highest level of service.

Become a Mauldin Alpha Society member today and enjoy these privileges for life. (And beyond, because you can pass on your membership to your kids.)

Membership in This Exclusive Club Is Limited…
and Available Only Until 300 Slots Are Filled

The Mauldin Alpha Society is our way of giving our subscribers the chance to receive ALL our services with no expiration—for a one-time flat fee, plus a very modest annual maintenance fee to help offset inflation.

Because membership is limited, we can only open the doors to new members once a year.

Subscribing to all Mauldin Economics services currently costs $6,662 per year…

But with this exclusive invitation, you can enroll in the Alpha Society at the very special rate of just $5,950.

Within 11 months, this one-time investment will have paid for itself—and you’ll essentially receive all our services for free, for as long as we publish them.

And access is limited: this offer ends when the available 300 slots for new members are filled, or on January 15, 2017… whichever comes first.

This offering period ends whenever the 300 available member slots are filled—or at midnight on January 15, 2017—whichever comes first. After that, we won’t reopen the Mauldin Alpha Society to new members for at least one year… and the price will likely be much higher. So don’t wait to sign up, or it could be too late.

Let me stress it again…

For a moderate one-time initiation fee, you’ll receive thousands of dollars’ worth of world-class research and additional benefits—each and every year.

And your membership ensures that from this point forward, you’ll have the full Mauldin Economics team of seasoned professionals at your side, helping to guide you through bull and bear markets, corrections, economic recessions… whatever life could throw at an investor.

After your initiation fee, all you’ll ever pay is a very modest $395 annual maintenance fee, charged on the anniversary of your membership.

Just the additional discounts on conferences, as well as discounts on products and services from trusted partners you’ll receive as a Mauldin Alpha Society member, will more than cover the cost of that low maintenance fee.

Have It All—with Membership in the
Mauldin Alpha Society

Because membership is limited, we only open the doors to new members once a year. Right now is your rare opportunity to join the exclusive ranks of the Mauldin Alpha Society and enjoy all the privileges that membership has to offer, including a lifetime of knowledge and advantage in the markets.

When you join the Mauldin Alpha Society during the limited-time enrollment period that ends January 15, 2017, you’ll pay a one-time initiation fee and receive everything Mauldin Economics publishes for life. Those services currently include…

From Senior Economic Analyst Patrick Watson…

Yield Shark (a value of $199 per year) Our flagship income advisory service, dedicated to hunting down high yields through ETFs, strategic bond investments, and deeply undervalued dividend stocks. In today’s low-interest world, Patrick Watson keeps Yield Shark nimble and hungry to help you earn sustainable income and protect your capital from big losses.

From Managing Editor Kevin Brekke and a special Mauldin Economics investment committee…

Rational Bear (a value of $2,495 per year) Make money on the downside with this premium bearish service. Every month, Kevin Brekke and his team share portfolio hedges, shorting opportunities, and simple option strategies that act as “crash insurance” for the rest of your portfolio. It’s as certain as death and taxes that the current bull market, artificially energized by dovish monetary policies, will limp to an end. And in the coming bear market, you couldn’t find a more valuable crisis hedge than this service.

From Senior Editor Jared Dillian…

Street Freak (a value of $299 per year) A unique research service that leverages the lessons learned by Jared during his meteoric rise to the head of ETF trading for the world’s third-largest investment house.

Patrick first uncovers the big-picture trends missed by investors and analysts caught up in day-to-day trading. Then, Robert employs Mauldin Economics’ proprietary, market-beating Equity Evaluation System (EES) to find best-of-breed stocks.

	Any future newsletters or alerts published by Mauldin Economics. The only publication not included is Jared Dillian’s Daily Dirtnap, a daily service directed at institutional investors and published by Jared himself. Even so, for this and other third-party products and services, significant membership discounts will be negotiated.
	Mauldin VIP Week in Review. A short weeklysummary of the most important topics and stock updates from the past week. All key recommendations come with handy links so that Mauldin Alpha Society members can click straight through to any editions they may have missed.

It’s all here. And when you join today, you’ll pay just $5,950 for a lifetime of benefits. That’s less than the value of just ONE YEAR of the services included!

And That’s Not All… Claim These Bonus Gifts
Just for Joining the Alpha Society

When you join the Mauldin Alpha Society, we’ll welcome you with open arms… and a suite of carefully chosen bonuses worth $922.90.

Join the rarefied ranks of the Alpha Society today and you’ll get:

Free Ticket to Our March 2017 Virtual Conference
(VALUE: $499)

As an investor, how do you war-game the Trump presidency? It’s a question John Mauldin has been asked repeatedly over the past few weeks, and I’m happy to announce today that we will share some answers at our inaugural Virtual Conference in March. And as a Mauldin Alpha Society member, your virtual ticket is complimentary.

The details are still being hammered out*, but I can share that it will be a two-part conference that will take place within Trump’s first 100 days in office. Part One will see John play Charlie Rose to a group of all-star guests on the likely economic developments we’ll see during Trump’s presidency. Part Two will see Jared Dillian and his guests look at the presidency through Wall Street’s eyes. Topics almost certain to be up for dissection include tax reform, deregulation, protectionism, and portfolio construction—but as we want this conference to be as up-to-the-minute relevant as possible, we’re leaving plenty of room for unexpected developments that may occur during the first 100 days.

*Details TBA: As an Alpha Society member, you’ll be the first to know.

Autographed Copy of John Mauldin’s Next Book
(VALUE: $49.95)

Rare opportunity alert—be the first to get John Mauldin’s forthcoming book, Investing in an Age of Transformation. The book sets out, in eye-opening detail, the transformative changes that are just around the corner. Over the next two decades, citizens and investors alike will have to wrestle with innovations that are both creative and destructive. The robots are coming, and John will walk you through how you can prepare for them. John is currently putting the finishing touches to Investing in an Age of Transformation. When it’s published, we’ll immediately send you a beautiful hardcover first edition—signed by John himself. A true collector’s item.

Access to a Live Conference Call with Geopolitics Genius George Friedman
(VALUE: $199)

Knowledge of geopolitics has never been more important for investors. The world is more interconnected than ever before, and a seemingly banal event halfway across the world could quickly torpedo your portfolio. At Mauldin Economics, we pivoted to meet this important new need when we partnered with Geopolitical Futures and George Friedman last year. George was a big “catch” for us—his forecasting record is second-to-none, and his decades of experience in the field mean that when he talks about geopolitics, people listen.

To further meet the need our Alpha Society members have for geopolitical knowledge, we will host a special, live conference call with George. As an Alpha Society member, you will be able to listen in (and send in questions). Once President-elect Trump has settled into the White House, I’ll sit down with George and get his insights on what the next four years will look like—for the US and the world.*

*Time and date TBA: we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.

Autographed Copy of George Friedman’s book The Next 100 Years
(VALUE: $49.95)

This riveting New York Times best-seller by George Friedman explores what’s in store for all of us in the 21st century. Equal parts shocking and thought-provoking, this book is a must-read for anyone keen to learn about the startling geopolitical, social, economic, and technological changes we can expect over the next century.

A 5oz Silver Eagle Coin
(VALUE: $125)

Thanks to Mauldin Economics’ special position as a member of the Hard Assets Alliance, we’ll send you a gorgeous 5oz silver coin when you become a member of the Mauldin Alpha Society. Produced by the US Mint in 2016, the “America the Beautiful” coin boasts a 0.9990 purity rating. It’s the perfect addition to your bullion collection… or a beautiful keepsake to pass down through generations.

The value of these bonuses is $992.90, and you pay… nothing. You receive every one of them absolutely free when you join the Mauldin Alpha Society.

Join the Mauldin Alpha Society Today to
Lock in the Best Price We’ll Ever Offer

After the 300 Founding Members are enrolled in the Mauldin Alpha Society, when we reopen it a year from now to new members, the price will almost certainly be higher.

And in the coming years, we’ll likely keep adjusting the initiation fee upward as new Mauldin Economics research products and services are included.

That means by becoming a member in the Mauldin Alpha Society today, you will lock in this exclusive membership at a rock-bottom price.

To recap, as one of 300 members to enroll this year, you’ll pay just $5,950… less than it costs for just one year of Mauldin Economics’ current services.

Remember, subscribing to all Mauldin Economics services currently costs $6,662 per year…

Meaning that as an Alpha Society member, you get $13,324 of value over two years…

$66,620 of value over 10 years…

And$99,930 of value over 15 years…

All for a moderate, one-time initiation fee and a small annual maintenance fee.

And most importantly, becoming a Mauldin Alpha Society member gives you the freedom and peace of mind to move forward knowing that the full Mauldin Economics research team will be at your side… for life.

While you attend to your business, they’ll be hard at work analyzing critical macroeconomic developments and searching the world for the best investments to profit across the full spectrum of sectors.

They’ll closely monitor those investments on your behalf, watching for rising risks and ensuring you stay in touch with your investments at all times.

We look forward to welcoming you as one of our Mauldin Alpha Society members, and to meeting you in person at one of the upcoming members-only events.

If you have more questions, read on for additional details. Or click below to start taking advantage of your life-long Mauldin Alpha Society privileges.

Whatever you do, don’t procrastinate. We expect the available 300 member slots to fill rapidly. This offer will end as soon as those 300 slots are filled, or at midnight on January 15, 2017… whichever comes first. After that, the Mauldin Alpha Society won’t reopen to new members for another year—and at a significantly higher price.

So if you’re interested in taking advantage of this exclusive opportunity to join as a member, please claim your spot today.

Sincerely,

Ed D’Agostino

Q&A
About the Mauldin Alpha Society

Q. Why is the membership so limited?

Mauldin Alpha Society members are part of an extended family, getting together at exclusive gatherings at the Strategic Investment Conference.

With a larger membership, that exclusivity would be lost.

In addition, we want to maintain the highest standards of service for members.
That level of service can only be offered to a smaller, more exclusive group.

Therefore, we are limiting this year’s intake to just 300, with additional members being added over time at a significantly higher price.

Q. What if I join today and later change my mind about the membership?

As a courtesy, your membership comes with a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. That gives you the time needed to evaluate whether the Mauldin Alpha Society is right for you.

Due to the scope of the privileges enjoyed by members, the deep values inherent, and the fact that the gates are opened to new members only once a year—after that 30-day period, no refunds are available.

Q. Will the price of my membership ever rise?

No. When you join today, you will be charged a one-time initiation fee. Thereafter, as long as you remain a member in good standing by paying your annual $395 maintenance fee—a fixed sum that never changes—there are no additional fees associated with your membership.

You can even pass your membership on to a family member. As long as they remain current with the annual maintenance fee, they will continue receiving all the services published by Mauldin Economics as well as the other privileges offered to you as a member. (Note: Mauldin Economics reserves the right to discontinue, change, or add to any publication.)

Q. Won’t I be inundated with information as a Mauldin Alpha Society member?

Yes and no. The “yes” part is that as a member you will receive all of our premium research services.

While Yield Shark, Rational Bear, Macro Growth & Income Alert, Transformational Technology Alert, and Street Freak are anchored with comprehensive monthly letters, our editors make it a point to stay in touch with alerts between issues should there be any substantive news on positions they are following on your behalf. So, you can expect to receive fairly regular updates.

You’ll also receive Over My Shoulder, Mauldin’s unique research service, also published on a flexible weekly schedule as new, pertinent research becomes available.

In order to help you manage the full spectrum of information you’ll be receiving, you’ll also be sent—at no additional charge—the Mauldin VIP Week in Review.

In it, our team recaps all the key recommendations for the week, with convenient links to the research service making the recommendations.

It’s a super-easy read that gives you instant access to the best ideas of the week from the senior editors and researchers of Mauldin Economics.

It’s all part of the Mauldin Alpha Society service and your ticket to a more rounded, informed way to invest.

Plus, our 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee means you have nothing to lose by giving the Mauldin Alpha Society a try.

Q. Once I join, what’s next?

We will immediately send you your membership welcome letter with details on the Mauldin Alpha Society Dashboard and other features of membership—including information on how to access the dedicated member services group.

You will receive all the services Mauldin Economics offers… plus all future research services we’ll launch… as well as discounts on conferences and third-party products… and invitations to exclusive, members-only events.

Remember, the enrollment period for the Mauldin Alpha Society ends on January 15, 2017, or as soon as the 300 available member slots are filled—whichever comes first. After that, the Mauldin Alpha Society will remain closed for a full year. Act today to lock in this astonishing offer… a lifetime of privileges at less than the cost of the same services for just one year!
