Profitable Tips From Today’s Top Experts This year’s New Orleans Investment Conference was one of the best in its 43-year history — with many of the world’s leading experts sharing their best recommendations for safe, rich profits in today’s volatile markets. Here are some of the highlights...and how you can get all the top strategies and recommendations. Dear John, As usual, this year’s New Orleans Conference was both exhausting and exhilarating. It was a non-stop, four-day stretch of presentations and discussions with some of the smartest investors, company management teams and world-class experts to be found anywhere. That was a lot to take in. But along the way, we also had to assimilate a new terror attack in New York, the unveiling of the House tax reform plan, a Fed meeting, the announcement of a new Fed chair, the October jobs number...and probably a dozen other things that escape my mind right now. How to make sense of it all? One way is to follow what may be the primary lesson of the New Orleans Conference: Step back and absorb the big picture. That’s what we did over the amazing four days of this year’s Conference. I know that every year I sing the praises of this event, and it’s true that each year the Conference just ended seems like one of the best ever. But quite frankly, I think this may have been the most enjoyable and enlightening New Orleans Conference I’ve experienced over my 32-year career. And that was a popular opinion amongst everyone who attended. Here are some brief impressions... I can’t go far into a recap without noting what a big hit Judy Shelton was with not only our attendees, but all of our speakers. Quite literally, one of our speakers bowed to her in the green room before going on-stage. I’ve been a big fan of Judy for many years, as she’s been an eloquent and esteemed advocate of a gold-based monetary standard, all while working within the mainstream of economic thought-leaders. She’s so highly respected that she’s regarded as a leading candidate to be appointed to the Federal Reserve board by President Trump. But frankly, I wasn’t sure how Judy would be accepted by our audience, many of whom were likely not aware of her work beforehand. I shouldn’t have been concerned, as Judy presented powerful, insightful arguments backed by a genteel nature that won everyone over. She was truly amazing, and I urge those who didn’t attend the conference to view the recordings of her presentations. Other big successes were Jonah Goldberg, Steve Hayes and Tucker Carlson. I’ve also been a big fan of all three of these gentlemen and, although most were familiar with Tucker’s work, I also wondered how our audience would react to Jonah and Steve. Again, not to worry. All three offered up thought-provoking views of the goings-on in Washington, and did so in ways that at times had us doubled over in laughter. One of Jonah’s lines was worth the price of admission all by itself: “People always thought that there was this transitive property in politics that because Bill Clinton was this fantastic extemporaneous talker, that somehow it would transfer to Hillary Clinton. Bill Clinton was an amazing politician. I'm not a big fan, but he was an amazing politician. “You could literally pull him off an intern, slap him with a fish, and say ‘give me 45 minutes on intellectual property rights in the third world’ and he would say, [in Clinton’s raspy voice] “I got five things to say to you today....’” Once more, these were presentations not to be missed. Speaking of missing, we were disappointed that one of our favorite personalities, Charles Krauthammer, was unable to attend due to a prolonged recovery from a recent surgery. We prepared a large get-well card for him, however, that many attendees were able to sign. It’s winging its way to Charles as I write, and we hope that it will help lift his spirits. Another blockbuster appearance was provided by Robert Kiyosaki, perhaps the most popular self-help investment expert in the world today. Robert boiled often-complicated investment strategies and goals down to simple concepts — including the real role of gold — that gave us a fascinating new angle on wealth-creation and wealth-preservation. Elsewhere, Doug Casey, Dennis Gartman, Peter Schiff, Rick Rule, Peter Boockvar, Danielle DiMartino Booth, Nick Hodge, Bob Prechter, The Real Estate Guys, Mark Skousen and a bevy of the top experts on metals and mining stocks gave some of the best presentations I’ve ever seen from them. Some highlights: • Peter Boockvar warned that, after years of global monetary accommodation on a scale never seen before — policies that were responsible for inflating massive equity and real estate bubbles — we would be foolish to believe that this accommodation can be removed with major repercussions. He pointed to warning flags now flying for the stock market, including the compression of the yield curve. Bottom line: Be very careful. • Doug Casey told us that the 2008 credit crisis was just the leading edge of a financial hurricane. We’ve been in the eye of the storm, and the trailing edge is about to hit. Again, be careful and act now to protect your assets. • Nick Hodge recommended Columbus Gold (CGT.TO; CBGDF.OTCQX), a junior gold company with millions of ounces in resources in French Guiana that’s spinning out a new company to hold its Nevada properties. Called Allegiant Gold, anyone who buys Columbus right now can get shares of Allegiant at no additional cost. Better yet, Nick pointed out that a financing in Allegiant is on-going right now, and accredited investors can contact the company via their website to participate. • I pointed out that the huge sovereign debt loads that have been accumulated make fiat currency depreciation — not just the dollar, but all fiat currencies — inevitable. Thus, much higher gold prices are also inevitable; only the timing and duration are in question. • In our Mining Share Panel, some of today’s top resource stock experts, including Brent Cook, Gwen Preston, Nick Hodge and myself, recommended two primary sectors: Companies with proven resources, and well-financed exploration stocks. Every speaker followed with specific stock recommendations. The best investment you could make today… I can’t say it enough: New Orleans 2017 was an incredible experience — our typical mix of entertainment and enlightenment, but taken to a level that we may have never seen before. Bottom line: If you missed New Orleans 2017, kick yourself. It was a rare opportunity. Of course, there’s nothing like being at the Conference in person, to experience the intellectual energy amongst your fellow attendees, to meet and mingle with big-name speakers, talk to mining companies face-to-face, and to forge new friendships amongst some of the smartest people we’ll ever meet. But the good news is that much of the value from the New Orleans Conference can be gleaned via our exclusive audio and video recordings of the event. Simply put, these recordings are so valuable — and so affordable — that they may offer the best risk/reward advantage of any investment you could possibly consider today. For one thing, I put a special emphasis in our agenda this year on speakers who could steer you to the best strategies and specific investments to take advantage of today’s historic opportunity in metals and mining. The bottom-line value represented by these recordings, as well as the 330+ page transcript of all our General Session presentations, is truly extraordinary. And as I noted, the costs — especially our online streaming videos for only $14.95 each — are exceedingly affordable. All of our physical recordings are now available.
