The really great thing about following our "Unstoppable Global Trends" is that there are many ways to invest in each of them. The possibilities are endless, as is the profit potential.
Take Demographics, for example.
We've talked a lot about what's happening in Japan right now in Total Wealth and the conditions there that make it the perfect "Anti-Trend" investment. Between the crushing debt, the aging population, the lack of a workable immigration policy, and decades of abysmal fiscal policy working against it, the country is in trouble - thus my recommendation to short the currency.
The play has returned more than 116% since the Japanese yen was at 76 to the dollar when I initially recommended it to paid subscribers. And it's returned another 5% since November 26 when I brought it to Total Wealth readers' attention. Now it's set for another leg up.
