If you’ve been wondering how you can prepare for economic collapse, the time to act is now. If you don't understand how we can still be in a crisis when stock markets have risen around the world into the start of 2010, please read this article "Gold and Economic Freedom, Reinterpreted for the 21st Century." Since April, 2006, SmartKnowledgeU™ has provided our clients with simple yet powerful strategies create wealth during this monetary crisis, including the best ways to invest in and buy gold and the best ways to invest in and buy silver. But we provide much more guidance than just the best ways to buy gold and the best ways to buy silver. For four years, we’ve correctly predicted every step of this crisis as documented in our investment blog, our investment videos, and most importantly, our subscription information. Though all of our predictions, such as the stock market crash of 2008, were violently opposed by the mainstream media and by the investment pundits months before we made them, the important question to ask is this: Have we been right? At SmartKnowledgeU™, we haven't been fooled by the deceit-ridden investment executives and politicians, and we aren't fooled today by their nonsense about economic recovery or about gold and silver bubbles. Instead, we provide clear guidance to our clients based upon our understanding of the actions taken by the financial oligarchs, and their attempts to use the very crisis they have created to seize more power. This is why our corporate logo consists of a keyhole in the "all-seeing-eye" as it illustrates our strategy of carefully watching those key banking families that operate on Wall Street and in the City of London. Today, when stock markets can rise in the face of horrid economic fundamentals (but only in the form of bear market rallies), fundamental and technical analysis alone will lead an investor into truly terrible decisions that may bankrupt his or her family. Other knowledge that we offer, such as that contained inside our Wealth Secrets membership, will be critical to helping ensure that, as a parent, you make the proper decisions for your children now. Four years from today, young children will graduate to a far gloomier job and employment situation than even that which exists today and the decisions you make for them today will determine if they prosper or suffer for the next decade. At SmartKnowledgeU&trade, we help our clients make the right decisions for themselves and their families by teaching them to understand the "fraud" game first. Nobody on Wall Street does any of their clients a favor by continually painting a rosy picture of the future that is an absolute lie. Reality may not be as pleasant as rose-colored glasses, but reality is essential to not only survival but for prosperity during this crisis as well. In fact, even if you don't become a client of ours, we urge you to support the projects we mention at the bottom of this page that will transfer power from Wall Street back to where it belongs, in the hands of Main Street.

(*Please click the above image to view a larger version*.) Above, we illustrate the returns of our most popular offering, the Crisis Investment Opportunity investment newsletter. YTD 2009, in a tax-deferred account, our investment newsletter returned 63.32%, beating the S&P 500 by 39.87% over the same time period. This is not a one-off performance. In 2008, we beat the S&P 500 by 41.71% and in six-months in 2007, we beat the S&P 500 by almost 28% and returned THIRTY TIMES the yield of the Australian ASX 200. We have not had a single losing year since our launch. If an investor had followed the guidance of our CIO newsletter since our launch, a $250,000 portfolio would have grown to more than $520,600, as illustrated above. On the contrary, a $250,000 portfolio invested in the S&P 500 would have shrunk to $185,060, even given its strong performance in 2009. This means that our Crisis Investment Opportunities newsletter has outperformed the S&P 500 by $335,540 on an initial $250,000 investment as of the end of 2009! We have been able to achieve such enormous outperformance of every major developed stock market for 3 years in a row because our forecasts about the direction of this crisis were 100% right. And this is why we urge you to listen to us now. We are sure that the WORST OF THIS CRISIS is not yet over despite the immoral political and banking leaders that tell you that it is. While many of the most successful investment newsletter publishers focus only on US markets due to the profitability of targeting such markets, the fact is that the US market has been among the worst performing markets for the last decade. Instead we focus on markets not by region or country, but on markets that we believe will remain strongly profitable through this crisis. Our membership base according reflects our focus on profitability only as we have members from all over the world, including Sweden, Switzerland, England, the United States, Scotland, Canada, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, South Korea, China, Australia, and New Zealand just to name a few.

Though many of you may still not believe our predictions for the future despite the fact that we've been right in predicting virtually every aspect of this crisis since 2006, such skepticism is healthy and natural. Optimism is a survival trait and most people tend to block out the possibility of a bleak economic future. Though optimism is an admirable trait to have, it should never blind you to the REALISM of a situation when your financial life is at stake. Please ask yourself if you can afford to ignore the most-likely probabilities we present for the start of the second phase of this global monetary and economic crisis in 2010 and 2011. If you are wrong, your future will be wiped out. If we are wrong, since we build our investment strategies to significantly outperform all global developed markets WHETHER GLOBAL STOCK MARKETS CRASH OR WHETHER THEY EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT RALLIES, you should still win! Our strategic successes are illustrated above by our historical returns. Note that even though the media refers to us as "gloom and doomers" that we were not perpetually shorting markets in 2009, and though the US markets rallied by 23.45%, our newsletter returned 63.32%! (Please note, however, that past returns do not guarantee future results.)

Consider this amazingly prescient article written by our Chief Investment Strategist on April 23, 2008 entitled Will US Markets Crash Now or Later? Just 18 business days later, US markets started falling and didn't stop falling until they had shed more than 50% of their value. More importantly, if you're skeptical of anything we have stated thus far, we urge you to read all of the comments below the above-referenced article, in which retail investors overwhelmingly accused our Chief Investment Strategist of having no understanding of how markets operate. Instead, sadly, most retail investors have zero idea of how all markets - currency, stock, and commodity - are rigged by the financial industry, and unfortunately this ignorance blinded these retail investors as their wealth was plundered by the stock market crash our Chief Investment Strategist warned them against. Unfortunately, bankers will plunder the 2009 gains of these same retail investors a second time when they usher in Phase 2 of this monetary crisis, a phase that should commence sometime in 2010. If you are not American and think that you will be okay, think again. The UK or Japan may default on their debt before the United States. And the Euro, Yen or British Pound will serve to protect your wealth no better than the US dollar when we enter Phase 2 of this crisis.

Our Chief Investment Strategist, JS Kim, is often quoted online by Reuters, the International Business Times, the New York Times, the UK Financial Times, and many other publications. Here's one example of the specific investment strategies JS provided to our subscription clients that produced spectacular returns. In 2006, we provided a report that we called “the Best Investment for the Next Five Years,” to our Platinum Members. Though almost every asset class is just about even since 2006, these specific investments respectively have remained profitable by more than 200% as of December, 2009. In addition, a Platinum Member informed us that he earned $23,000 in profits in two weeks time based upon a specific investment opportunity we identified in 2008 only to our Platinum Members.

Our Chief Investment Strategist, JS Kim, an expert in gold and silver investing, began advocating the purchase of physical silver to clients when silver was trading barely higher than $9 an ounce, many years before most anyone considered buying silver. As this crisis deepens, he will continue to provide guidance on the best ways to create wealth, including the best ways to invest in gold and the best ways to invest in silver as well as grant warnings about probable dangerous times when it makes sense to step out of the market and stand aside (some means of investing in gold and silver promoted by investment advisers are actually terrible!) Today, though Westerners are finally paying some attention to gold, we still find that most peoples' understanding of the best ways to invest in gold and silver appallingly lacking due to Central Banks' dissemination of anti-gold propaganda for over a century now. Of the public commentary we read about gold and silver, quite frankly, well over 90% of it is either flat-out wrong or highly flawed. A lot of "advisers" jumped on the precious metals bandwagon when it became the "hot" investment item, but you cannot become a gold and silver expert without first putting in years of research. Beware of "advisers" that have hardly ever spoken to you about the merits of gold in the past, but are now trying to convince you to buy. Their guidance may come at a cheap price, but there is also a very high probability it will steer you down the wrong path into losses. At SmartKnowledgeU&trade, we provide hard-hitting, easy-to-understand knowledge unavailable from mainstream sources, explained in layman's language, that enables the common man and woman to truly understand this crisis. To ensure that our guidance remains unbiased, we accept no monetary solicitations from the commercial investment industry at any time.

For those interested in the possibility of truly legendary gains beyond the realm of what we offer through our Crisis Investment Opportunities newsletter, please consider our most elite membership, the Platinum Membership. If you've suffered at all during this crisis, it is NOT TOO LATE to reposition your assets properly to prosper during the next and most dangerous stage of this monetary crisis. It is a near certainty that future shocks to the economic system will catch the vast majority of all investors unprepared; however, at SmartKnowledgeU™, we consider it our job to position all of our clients well in advance of these shocks to profit from them.
