Investment U: What No Books, No Schools, No Brokers Will Teach You…

Dr. Mark Skousen

Dr. Mark Skousen
Chairman, Investment U

Founded in 1999, Investment U delivers independent, no-nonsense investment advice on how to build long-lasting wealth. In our free, twice-weekly investment newsletter, you'll find investment advice in practice in the real world. Investment U's mission is to help you master the investment principles that can dramatically boost your portfolio returns, and to show you how you can consistently succeed in all kinds of markets. And we do it in plain English, using real-life examples, not in textbook mumbo jumbo.

Dr. Mark Skousen serves as unbiased advocate to over 275,000 readers who count on his historical and sometimes contrarian investing advice, investment research, and strategies to help build a foundation for wealth. In addition to Dr. Skousen, you'll hear from Investment U Advisory Panelists Dr. Steve Sjuggerud and Alex Green.  You'll also hear from Investment U Vice-Chairman D.R. Barton Jr. in the Trader's U e-Letter.

Investment U's style is refreshingly clear, credible, and candid. Many of our strategies go against the "conventional wisdom" we hear so often today. So while your broker and many popular investment "how-to" books peddle "Buy and Hold," "Dollar-Cost Average," and "Beware the Real Estate Bubble," Investment U reveals time-tested, money-making strategies that you can use today. 

Sign up for The Investment U E-Letter. While the The IU E-Letter is a free investment newsletter publication, it is also the perfect compliment to the Investment U Course. Learn more about The Investment U Course.

Investment U Events - Full Schedule

TRUE WEALTH GOLD CONFERENCE
May 31, 2006
Hyatt Regency, Long Beach,CA

Former Investment Director of The Oxford Club, Dr. Steve Sjuggerud, would like to invite you to an important - and private - meeting. At this meeting, you'll discover why this particular investment is still one of the cheapest and most undervalued around… and why it could bring you triple-digit profits by the end of this year. The fact is, most people simply don't know the great investment options available in this sector… including a few innovative new ways to invest (one of which will be presented for the first time anywhere at this private meeting.)  Special guest speakers will include The Oxford Club and The Money Map Advantage's Horacio Marquez and the Mt. Vernon Options Club's Lee Lowell. Please note: Dr. Sjuggerud's meeting is not open to the public. For more information please call Event Manager Kristen Kossuth at kkossuth@stansberryresearch.com or 410-864-1717. Don't forget to mention you are an Investment U subscriber.
