Dave Gonigam – July 28, 2012
Another week, another knee-jerk reaction to Europe.
Last week at this time, we chronicled a Friday stock sell-off attributed to the rediscovery that Europe hadn’t been fixed yet. This morning, we chronicle a Friday rally attributed to yet another announced fix. Or the promise of a fix. Or something.
The world rolls on even as we gathered this week in Vancouver for the Agora Financial Investment Symposium. If you couldn’t be with us in person, the audio/video collection we offer is surely the next best thing. But while our crack technicians polish the recordings into tiptop shape, we bring you a few highlights in this week’s 5 Things You Need to Know…
You’ve built your fortune… Now what? This is the question that’s faced Agora Inc. founder Bill Bonner in recent years. And he’s determined not to let the family fortune be eaten up by fees at a private bank… or dissipated by the generations that follow. He and son Will have developed a comprehensive plan to make sure the Bonner family’s “new money” becomes “old money” over time.
Innovate or Die…
That’s the pressing theme of the ongoing Agora Financial Investment Symposium. If you couldn’t join us in beautiful Vancouver, here’s the next best thing…
Like years past, we’re recording the entire lineup of presentations, lively debates, heated discussions… and financial ideas to help guide your wealth. But this year we’re going a step further…
For the first time in the 13-year history of the Symposium, you will also be able to SEE all of the presentations, in stunning HD video!
So even if you weren’t able to join us at this year’s event, you don’t have to miss out on a single piece of analysis or recommendation.
See this short report for details (don’t worry, this isn’t a long video sales letter.) But hurry, once the conference ends, the price of the recordings rockets up 33%.

The world’s hottest stock market… still on fire. The Philippine exchange is the globe’s best performing this year. The Philippine ETF is up 25% year to date. Over dinner in Honolulu, Chris Mayer learned why from his worldwide network of contacts. Here he spells out the factors behind the jump… and the reasons it’s set to continue.
It’s still a secular bull market for resources. Veteran resource investor Rick Rule says despite the pullback in the sector that’s his specialty, a long-term bull market remains in place. If you’re feeling pain in your portfolio, Rick has a historical reminder that might make you feel better… and a fascinating forecast for the next 18-24 months.
What to Expect in 2013…
Between 2004-2007, Bill Bonner and Addison Wiggin did their best to alert their loyal readers to the dangers of the housing bubble well before the mainstream said anything about it.
Well, today, they see something even worse looming just over the horizon.
It’s not often our Reckoner-in-Chief agrees to appear on-screen, but this was just too important.

Fighting World War II all over again. The American empire faces two challenges. We were about to say “insurmountable” challenges, but Byron King says expensive energy and unsound money don’t have to be the nation’s undoing. In a riveting talk, Byron harked back to World War II even as he weighed in on the current president’s “you didn’t build that” speech. At this link Byron explains how “The arsenal of democracy was created with urgency by U.S. private industry.”
In a world of uncertainty, invest in things that are certain. Many of our speakers this week addressed the urgent need to adapt to changing circumstances. David Franklin from Sprott Private Wealth suggested sticking with a few verities that, while not timeless, will likely hold for the foreseeable future. We describe three of them — and one highly investable thesis that results — right here.
Well… that barely scratches the surface of the vast information that emerged from the podium in Vancouver this week. That’s why you owe it to yourself to get the recordings from this week’s conference. For the first time, we’re offering access to high-definition video so you can see all the presentation slides in vivid detail and watch at your own pace. We promise… it’s an unbeatable value.
