Live From Investment U: The Early Bird Catches the Profits

To heck with catching the worm…
Following an elegant cocktail reception on Wednesday evening, about 200 “early birds” rolled into Thursday’s opening session of the Investment U Conference at 7:00 AM. They weren’t interested in catching worms, though. They wanted some contrarian moneymaking ideas in the natural resources area.
And they weren’t disappointed.
When it comes to natural resources, look no further than Rick Rule. He’s the founder of Global Resource Investments and has spent his career identifying the pitfalls and breakthrough profit opportunities in the sector. He’s a great speaker and Investment U Conference attendees over the years have come to expect nothing less than double-digit plays from this world-class expert.
This time was no different.
Rick’s opening remarks were eye-opening…
How to Profit From “The Strongest Resources Discovery Period in the Last 12 Years”
On gold, Rick stated: “The gold bugs feel vindicated now. And while I suggest you keep your philosophy in check when dealing with finances, it’s my belief that the public frenzy regarding gold will continue and it rises from here. I don’t think we’re in a real recovery. I see the world economic situation as very weak.”
And Rick’s not just bullish on gold…
“We’re now in the strongest resources discovery period I’ve seen in the last 12 years. This is when real wealth creation takes place.” But Rick struck an amusing, cautionary note, courtesy of Mark Twain, who once said: “A miner is a liar standing next to a hole in the ground.”
The truth is, barely one out of every 5,000 digs actually becomes a successful mine. So how can you invest successfully in this sector?
Rick’s solution is with Prospect Generators. These outfits handle all the dirty work for you – finding sites with great potential, then partnering with the mining company. They filter out all the “liars standing next to holes in the ground,” so to speak.
Rick told the crowded conference room: “I’ve speculated in 52 public Prospect Generators over the years and 17 turned into economic deposits.”
That’s significantly better than those one-in-5,000 odds. And Rick said that nine of those ventures went on to become involved in takeovers.
Rick summed up with this: “I suggest you confine your efforts to the Prospect Generators. But supplementing this with a small group of more speculative picks can be very effective. You’ve got extraordinary geologists doing wonderful work. I am 100% certain we are in a solid discovery cycle.”
He owns Prospect Generators like Eurasian Minerals (CDNX: EMX.V), Lara Resources LTD (CDNX: LRA.V) and Miranda Gold Corp. (CDNX: MAD.V).
He also named several other companies and you can get Rick’s full list on the Investment U Conference Recordings. More details on how to get them in a moment…
Speaking of natural resources, though, John Pugsley stepped up to the podium to give his own thoughts on what commodities you should hold in order to combat a potentially dangerous period…
Your Inflation Strategy: Buy What You Can Consume Or Touch
John’s speech was entitled, “The Shifting Sands of Value,” which focused on assets that hedge against inflation and the erosion of purchasing power.
In short, John says: “I think the natural resources sector – in particular, mining, oil, gas, food, and even water – are going to hold their exchange value relative to currencies.”
This is because John believes we could be headed for a period of hyper-inflation: “I think it’s a serious threat. We’ve held it off until now, but I don’t know for how much longer.”
John’s anti-inflation measures? Simply put, hold tangible goods: “Buy what you’re going to consume, or touch. And you won’t pay ‘inflation tax’ on it later.”
That means gold, silver, real estate (at the right price) – and especially natural resources: “It’s stored away, it’s not going anywhere, and you can pull out later.”
Now, John’s stance on inflation is quite the opposite of Louis Basenese’s views, which I mentioned in yesterday’s report (this conference does have a very contrarian theme, after all!). So who’s right?
Here at Investment U, we lean more toward Lou’s viewpoint. Of course, an inflationary period may be ahead… except we’re not sure if it’s coming just yet. However, we always recommend listening to different opinions – especially since both Lou and John have many years of experience and knowledge.
John will provide more tips and picks in his “Contrarian Investing in Mining” session. I can’t cover it here (there’s too much going on today), but we’re definitely getting this one on tape.
And here’s how you can, too…
As we’ve told you all week, we’re recording the Investment U Conference presentations, so you can enjoy them from the comfort of your home, office, car… wherever. We don’t want you to be without the mass of profitable information from this week in San Diego.

In addition to following all the presentations and reporting the highlights to you, I made a speech of my own at the conference yesterday…
Fund Managers Hate This Form… But Here’s Why Investors Love It
Wouldn’t you like to know what the best fund managers in the world are buying and selling? What positions Warren Buffett, David Einhorn and Mark Yusko are holding?
Well, you can… courtesy of the “Section 13F Form.”
The SEC requires fund managers to file this form, with the intention of “increasing confidence in the financial markets.” And while I’m not sure if it accomplishes that, it does tell you exactly what the top managers are up to. (By the way, they hate having to do this.)
Of course, there’s a right way and a wrong way to play this information. And you’ll get all the details in my full talk on the conference recordings.
That wraps things up for today. I’ll be back on Monday, with more profitable information and picks from Friday and Saturday’s sessions. That includes Alexander Green’s presentation – “Three Short-Term Trading Strategies for 2010… And Beyond.”
Among the information:
- The 10 qualities to look for in short-term momentum stocks.
- How to know when to sell your stocks.
- One of the market’s best buy indicators.
Alex’s talk was an investing lesson that no serious investor should miss. If you’re interested in making money, you need to hear the full presentation because the advice could make you a fortune.
So why not take 60 seconds right now and bring the conference into your own home? You’ll enjoy the convenience of having all the best ideas, insights, recommendations and techniques whenever you want… wherever you want. No need to rush to jot down notes. Just hit the “rewind” button to capture a key recommendation or strategy.
And at the low early bird price, it’s really a no-brainer. Especially since you’re covered by our 30-day, 100% money-back guarantee, too. Here’s how to get it before the price goes up at midnight on March 23:

Real traders are taught that the Holy Grail to Investing doesn’t exist. Real people were taught that all the planet’s move about the earth, don’t go to far out into the ocean(you’ll fall off the earth), on and on……….
When one looks outside the box(inventor), goes against the group(thinks for self), said they found(developed) something that is supposed to be impossible(airplanes), they were once killed. Now these people are called bad names and delegated to be unheard, and ignored group.
The ultimate business solution. The ability to cut the cost of any business expense, or just plain invest.
I developed multiple arbitrages that enable me to trade(not invest) in the financial markets, without risk(The Holy Grail to Investing), or arbitrage that anyone can do. Over 30% a year.
