| Dear Friend, I’m writing to let you know that Monday, February 18, is the last possible day you can secure your 2019 Strategic Investment Conference seat at our best-available price. Through midnight on Monday, you can purchase a ticket at nearly 30% off. You see, the walk-up rate for a SIC 2019 ticket will cost $3,495. But your ticket costs just $2,495—$1,000 off the walk-up rate—if you act before midnight on Monday. You’ll need to be quick to get the last of the priority-priced seats, though. That’s because space constraints at the SIC 2019 venue—the luxurious Omni Hotel in downtown Dallas—limit the number of priority-price tickets. And right now, there are only a few seats left. Reserve yours now. This year’s SIC promises to be the best yet. We expect it to sell out. Let me show you why that’s no idle boast I consistently hear from everyone that SIC is the best financial conference they’ve ever attended. In fact, over 65% of attendees have been to five or more SICs. With that kind of repeat business, no further comment is required as to just how valuable a SIC seat really is! So how about SIC 2019? Well, the market turmoil we’re seeing around the globe means there’s a lot to discuss. That’s why SIC 2019 will revolve around the opportunities available from the global debt crisis, China’s economy, Europe’s economic slowdown, Brexit and yellow vest issues. SIC 2019 already features some impressive speakers on all aspects of these topics (and more): • George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States • Howard Marks, CFA Co-chairman Oaktree Capital • Carmen Reinhart, world-renowned economist and best-selling author • Felix Zulauf, Switzerland-based hedge fund manager and 30+-year Barron’s Roundtable Member • Jim Mellon, UK-based hedge fund manager and billionaire investor We’re adding more speakers every week as everyone’s schedule firms up. In fact, there’ll be more than 25 experts confirmed to take the stage as we get closer to the SIC itself. That includes long-time SIC favorites Louis Gave, David Rosenberg, Grant Williams, Lacy Hunt, George Friedman, and Mark Yusko, for example. I’m also welcoming a gold-standard selection of leading analysts, strategists, and portfolio managers to the stage including Bill White, Jeffrey Sherman, Simon Hunt, Lakshman Achuthan, Barry Habib, John Burns, and Liz Ann Sonders. And of course, I’ll be joined by the Mauldin Economics team. Jared Dillian, Patrick Watson, Robert Ross, Dr. Michael Roizen, and Patrick Cox will all be there too. This wealth of brainpower has been assembled to help you think strategically about pressing questions like: - Will 2019 be the year the bull market finally gets slaughtered?
- What will the Fed, China, and Europe do?
- And where on earth are the safe havens in these turbulent times?
In fact, the quality of SIC speakers is so consistently high that nearly everybody attends every session. Every speaker has something you don’t want to miss. And each session builds on the last. That means you’re constantly expanding your horizons with the very best analyses. And it’s why many speakers join the audience to listen to their peers’ presentations after doing their own. For example, David Rosenberg, Grant Williams, and Lacy Hunt routinely stay for the entire SIC. So how about you? There’s one more thing I should point out… The SIC is much more than just listening to expert analysis and opinion. Due to its very personal feel, you’ll also be able to… - Make connections with like-minded investors and intellectuals
- Tap into the magic that comes with having hundreds of the sharpest minds in the industry in the same room, and
- Form new relationships and strengthen existing ones.
That means the SIC is as much a networking event as it is a learning and development event. That makes it doubly valuable. It’s a major reason why 65% of attendees have been to five or more SICs! And remember, interest in this year’s event is already exceptionally high due to the best-ever assembly of speakers we’re finalizing. It will almost certainly be a sellout. You’ve got less than 72 hours to make sure you’re among the priority-price attendees this time around. Sign up now and make sure you don’t miss this one. Please circle May 13–16 on your calendar—SIC 2019 is lining up to be the most exciting conference we’ve ever held. Your I hope to shake your hand in Dallas analyst, 
John Mauldin
Chairman, Mauldin Economics
P.S. Remember, priority pricing ends Monday, February 18. Or the moment all available priority spots are taken… whichever comes first. The 72-hour countdown has begun. Don’t procrastinate. Reserve your discounted ticket right now. |
