The Power of Being a True "Connoisseur of Extremes"

by

On Monday, people all over the world were able to witness one of nature's greatest extremes – an eclipse.

Whether you were only able to catch a partial eclipse in your hometown or you were one of the lucky ones in the 68.35-mile-wide swath of land stretching from South Carolina to Oregon that was able to witness a total eclipse, this was a truly historic moment.

That's because onlookers witnessed the first total solar eclipse in the United States in 99 years.

Extremes in the natural world come in many forms, but eclipses have always intrigued me.

When I was senior in college, we had an annular solar eclipse – when a small ring, or "annulus," of light remains circling the outside of the moon as it passes across the sun.

Since I was viewing the eclipse in the southeast, we had near blackout conditions with 99.7% of all light blocked – dark enough for the animals to freak out.

Dogs were visibly agitated…

The waterfowl at the famed Virginia Tech Duck Pond tucked their heads under their wings…

And for me, the strangest eclipse observation was that everything from leaves to branches to buildings cast eerie crescent-shaped shadows as the height of the eclipse came and went.

It happened when I was in college… And again yesterday.

It's easy to understand why such an event that changes the visible world around us for a brief time causes folks to act strangely…

Extremes have that effect on people.

That's why learning how to recognize extremes – recognize when traders act emotionally and drive prices to extreme highs or lows – is at the heart of our strategy.

Because once we understand how to feed off of the "strange" behavior of other traders, we can tap into the tremendous profit potential extremes have to offer.

That's why it's been my mission to make each and every one of you a "connoisseur of extremes."

Piece by piece, I'm going to teach you everything you need to know about extremes until running this system feels like second nature.

This Will Be Your Secret Weapon Against the Coming Market Storm

Human beings hate change.

According to research from the Center for Creative Leadership, 75% of change initiatives fail because of resistant company culture.

Neuroscientists believe our disdain for change harks back to an age where a stable social environment gave us a better chance of survival.

Change meant potential death to early humans.

So, in a sense, our fear of change is hardwired into our mental decision-making process. For investors, that fear of change bias can cause untold destruction to your wealth.

Being able to adapt to a transitioning market is going to be vital to your success over the coming weeks.

On Wednesday, I told you that we are on the verge of a massive sea change in the market.

The downfall of the "Easy Money" market is going to bring about one of the most volatile, uncertain markets we've seen in nearly a decade.

I want you to be ready.

A Big Sea Change Is Coming; I'm Here to Make Sure You're Ready

by

We are on the verge of a massive sea change in the market.

One that could completely transform the financial markets for the next five years – or more.

I'm talking about the downfall of the easy money market.

If you've been following along here at The 10-Minute Millionaire, you know that I've talked about market narrative – the overarching theme that drives market action – and how that narrative is changing.

But that is just one piece of the "easy money" puzzle.

As you'll see in a moment, this shift has been in the works for nearly 10 years, and when it begins, it will bring about a very different market… one that is more volatile… more indecisive.

For the investors who don't prepare and go about their business as usual, this could spell disaster for their hard-earned wealth.

But here, at The 10-Minute Millionaire, I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen to you. Even more, I'm going to guide you so that you're prepared for all the challenges and opportunities coming our way.

That's just what I did in 2008, when I saw the financial crisis coming a mile away. Not only did I write about the coming crisis, I positioned my clients to be safely in cash for a large part of it.

And since then, I've correctly called big market moves – and helped a lot of people make a lot of money – because I understand what governments and central banks have done over the last eight years to keep the economy moving and keep the markets afloat.

In short, during some of the toughest markets in history, I helped my clients protect and build their wealth.

And I'm ready to do that again. But this time, I'm working for you.

Over the coming weeks, I'm going to show you how we can turn the coming chaos into countless opportunities to profit…

But before that, you need to understand how we got here – because that's crucial to understanding the downfall of the easy money market.

These Two "Signposts" Are Your Key to Navigating a Narrative in Transition

by

For some, it might be hard to remember a time before Google Maps and modern, commercial GPSes…

However, I distinctly remember what it was like to have to give verbal or written directions to our home.

We live in a small university town in Delaware that was founded in the late 1600s.

And, like many colonial towns, the roads that leave the center of town quickly diverge.

That means, if someone heads to our house on the wrong road, they head away from us pretty quickly – a problem we ran into quite frequently.

However, as I gave directions time and again – and got feedback on how easy it was to find our place, a pattern emerged.

After travelers left Main Street and headed out of town toward our house, there was a period of trepidation while they figured out if they were on the correct route.

That's when I realized something…

The folks trying to navigate their way to our house needed a signpost – a landmark that would remove any anxiety that they were headed in the right direction.

Our nearby country club was the first thing to pop into my mind.

Its vast, beautiful, and distinctive golf course is only a half mile out of town and is nearly impossible to miss.

With such a clear visual confirmation built right into our route, I was able to arm our incoming guests with a concrete cue that they were on the right path – eliminating any unease they might have had.

As investors, that same kind of pre-GPS signpost can be incredibly helpful when we look at the financial markets.

Especially when we are dealing with a narrative that is "in transition."

Over the weekend, I explained how the narrative is evolving.

And today, I want to show you some signposts you can look out for along the way to let you know we're headed down the right path.

This "Old Faithful" Strategy Is Your Best Bet at Lifelong Wealth

When I was 15, my parents loaded the kids into our Ford Torino Squire station wagon and set off on the trip of a lifetime – a six-week, coast-to-coast odyssey across the United States.

To this day, it's still one of my favorite memories.

However, along our journey, there was one place that stood out to my younger self the most – Yellowstone National Park.

I'll never forget witnessing the rolling landscapes, the roaming critters, and the bevy of geologic oddities inside the park.

I keenly remember as "Old Faithful" – the world's most famous geyser – shot a stream of boiling water 140 feet into the air.

Call it the pre-engineering curiosity in me, but I became obsessed with Old Faithful.

And one of the most fascinating things I learned about Old Faithful is, much like our 10-Minute Millionaire system that "spouts" profits, the Wyoming-based geyser has three key parts to its system: abundant groundwater, a constant heat, and a boiling chamber.

There are two reasons why I'm telling you about Old Faithful today.

First, the geyser's streamlined and powerful system aligns perfectly with our own trading strategy.

But its constant water "spouts" is a perfect analogy for our favorite pop-and-drop play – Columbia Sportswear.

Enter the "Dividend Warrior," Our Latest Millionaire-Making Play

In the trading world, real estate investment trusts, or "REITs" for short, are some of the most misunderstood investments out there.

I can't count the number of times I've heard novice investors say: "REITs get slaughtered when interest rates rise; I avoid them at all costs."

That's not just wrong…

It's also an incredibly costly mistake…

Fact is, if you've let this flawed investor motto keep you out of REITs over the years, you've missed out on unworldly gains.

The key is understanding how to find the right REITs.

Thankfully for us, our 10-Minute Millionaire system is designed to sleuth the best opportunities in the market…

And it's just delivered the perfect hospitality REIT to help supercharge our portfolio…

Identifying extreme stocks – shares whose prices have been overstretched to the upside or to the downside – really is a lot like flying a small plane.

You've got a great vantage point at a high altitude, which gives you the ability to see a long way in every direction. You can pick out identifying landmarks that let you know exactly where you are in the price cycle that extreme stocks go through.

It sounds like a pleasant journey. And it can be.

What Happens When Someone "Shoots the Elephant"

We've talked in length about biases – which simply mean the way we are hardwired to think about – and approach – investing.

Unfortunately for us, most of those biases are what make us lousy investors.

We've already shown you how our need to be right and a result-based mindset can destroy our chances at achieving lifelong wealth.

But today, we're going to dig a little deeper and talk about the most dangerous bias of all – "the single elephant."

It seems like only yesterday that we were ringing in the New Year.

But, believe it or not, we're now halfway through 2017.

Nearly four months ago, we set off on this incredible journey together, and I feel like we are on the cusp of something truly great.

That's what makes articles like the one I'm about to share with you so imperative for your journey here.

You see, the summer months give most of us a chance to slow down and catch up – on relaxation, on chores and, with a bit of scheduling and focus, on our wealth goals.

Now, as regular readers of my work know, I have a real love for old investing adages and maxims. And there's one that really applies to today's story.

Back during World War II, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill told listeners that "he who fails to plan is planning to fail."

And was he ever right.

So many investors fail precisely because they "wing it" and don't have a plan or a system of any kind at their disposal.
