The Gone Fishin’ Portfolio: Your Retirement’s Financial “Declaration of Independence”
by David Fessler, Advisory Panelist
Tuesday, May 12, 2009: Issue #995
One of the first things you’re taught as a kid is that the best things in life are free. That money can’t buy happiness. That it can’t buy genuine love or friendship. These things are true, of course. But they aren’t the whole story.
Money determines your neighborhood and the house your kids grow up in. It determines whether they go to college and where. If you’re sick, it can mean the difference between a good doctor and an amazing doctor. If you need a lawyer, it’s the difference between an ambulance chaser and the best defense attorney money can buy.
Money provides freedom, security and peace of mind.
That’s why managing your investment portfolio intelligently is so essential. Getting it right is the difference between a retirement spent in luxury and one spent counting nickels, wondering whether you’ll have enough. The difference could hardly be starker, which is why The Gone Fishin’ Portfolio can work for any investor.
Stop Handling Your Retirement Like Poker Chips
I routinely talk to people who are mucking about, handling their retirement money like chips in a poker game, or simply throwing in the towel and turning everything over to that “nice young man down at Merrill Lynch.”
Big mistake.
After all, this is the money you will live off of one day. (Or have already retired on.) It’s the money that will determine your quality of life. It’s the money you intend to leave to your spouse someday… or your kids… or your favorite charity.
This is serious money that deserves to be handled in a serious way.
For all these reasons, I urge you to pick up your free copy of Investment U Chairman Alexander Green’s exceptional new book “The Gone Fishin’ Portfolio: Get Wise, Get Wealthy… and Get On With Your Life.”
Why The Gone Fishin’ Portfolio Strategy Works
What’s so great about The Gone Fishin’ Portfolio’s strategy?
- It has beaten the market and over 90% of investment professionals each year for the past decade, with only a fraction of the risk of being fully invested in stocks. (Even Warren Buffett has lagged its performance.)
- It allows you to do a complete end-run around Wall Street and its mountain of fees and expenses.
- It is based on the only investment strategy that won the Nobel Prize in economics.
- Yet it is so simple to use, it allows you to manage your money yourself in just 20 minutes a year. The rest of the time you are encouraged to travel, play golf… or just “go fishin’.”
How The Gone Fishin’ Portfolio Eliminates The 6 Greatest Investment Risks
Better still, the strategy within The Gone Fishin’ Portfolio completely eliminates your six biggest investment risks:
- It eliminates the risk of being in or out of the stock market at the wrong time. (The strategy requires no economic forecasting or market timing.)
- It keeps you from handling your money too conservatively, so you don’t have to worry that your long-term purchasing power won’t keep up with inflation.
- It keeps you from handling your money too aggressively, so you don’t have to worry about blowing up your portfolio.
- It doesn’t require you to own any individual stocks or bonds. So there is no possibility of them causing your portfolio to crater. (Think Enron, WorldCom, Lehman Brothers or Wachovia.)
- It does not require you to use a broker, money manager, financial planner, or anyone else who would like to attach himself to your portfolio like a barnacle, siphoning off fees every year.
- It eliminates the risk of unwise delegation. No one cares more about your money than you do. The Gone Fishin’ Portfolio allows you to manage it yourself, simply, safely and effectively.
Consider this book your financial Declaration of Independence. Your financial freedom and security – and your family’s – are too important to ignore… or to safeguard with financial advisors who have obvious conflicts of interest.
For all these reasons, we’ve decided to give away thousands of copies of the book this month to Investment U readers.

The Single Best Investment for 2009
Forget another stimulus package. Or retreating into "safe-havens" like cash and gold. All you need in 2009 is a small exposure to the "secret" White Cap Index.
It's up as much as 171% straight through Wall Street's meltdown. And one of the latest stocks to be added - an Internet-related venture capital company - is up over 100% since its inclusion into the Index.
Just weeks from now, we'll add another White Cap stock to this market-trouncing index. To get a sneak peek, click here for full details.

Just once I would like someone to promote one of these things by saying “I am pushing a service I think is great and will cost you $79 per year (or whatever) and this is the free gift that comes with it”.
Instead we have an inducement to “pick up” our free copy of a book and then have to read through pages and pages of promotional guff to find out what it is going to cost to get the “free” gift!
