Dear Connecting the Dots Reader,

With big macro trends like demographics and automation disrupting financial markets, I believe to be successful, we will have to dedicate a lot more time to investing going forward.

I get it, there are only so many hours in the day—and dedicating more time is something most investors simply can’t do.

Preparing for the wide-array of risks mounting against your portfolio is something I—with the help of my good friend and Mauldin Economics Chairman, John Mauldin—want to help you with.

John has devised a plan to help you navigate the turbulent waters ahead. This plan can save you a lot of time that you would otherwise have to spend on your portfolio. And more importantly, I believe it can help you navigate the coming disruption, successfully.

I’ll let John fill you in on the rest of the details. I know you’ll agree with him about why you need to start preparing, today.

See you at the top,

Patrick Watson Senior Editor, Mauldin Economics
