Brien Lunden commentary. It's getting crazy folks

There’s a bull’s-eye on your bank account...

..PLUS your stocks, your bonds and every investment you own!

You need to act now to prevent Washington from robbing you of
your hard-earned wealth.

Dear ****

I’m sending you this urgent dispatch because we’re about to see the greatest transfer of wealth in over a generation...

...You and I are the intended victims...

And no one — absolutely no one — is talking about the greatest threat to American prosperity since the Carter administration.

The tsunami is coming whether we like it or not,
so you might as well get ready for it.

Here’s the cold, hard fact: If you have significant wealth — look out. Because you’re about to have much of it taken away from you.

That is, if you just sit still and do nothing about it.

But if you make some key, well-thought-out decisions over the remainder of this year you can not only protect your hard-earned wealth, but actually build it substantially.

What am I talking about? Well, consider that — without a doubt — we are in the midst of the most perilous investment environment of the past three decades...and perhaps our investing lifetimes.

It’s one thing to face a major crisis. But now we have one after another: a real estate crisis...a credit crisis...an energy crisis and more.

Add in unprecedented volatility in stocks and commodities, a faltering economy, massive government bailouts, spiraling inflation and other worries, and there’s little wonder why most investors are frozen like a deer in the headlights.

But no serious investor can afford to sit still in this environment.
That’s simply a recipe for disaster.

But added onto all of this turmoil and uncertainty is the wealth-destroying tsunami I’m writing you about right now....

As you know, the elections this fall will bring in a new Congress and president. And the fact is, no matter who wins the White House, we are likely to face a massive transfer of wealth as the Bush tax cuts expire and new, far higher capital gains rates are imposed.

Make no mistake: You’re the target in this shooting gallery. And if you don’t move, you’re going to get hit hard.

Don’t just take my word for it. Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert Mundell recently told The Wall Street Journal that scrapping the Bush tax cuts will send the U.S. “into a big recession, a nosedive.”

He also notes that other tax hikes — such as Barack Obama’s proposal to as much as double capital gains taxes would be “devastating to the world economy, to the United States.”

And, of course, it would be devastating to both you and I. There’s little wonder why so many are comparing this transition to the 1970s...when Ford gave way to Carter...and things really began to spin out of control!

The really scary part is that, even if John McCain wins the election, a Congress controlled by both spendthrift Democrats and Republicans seems destined to hike taxes across the board.

Frankly, I’ve never been more worried...or more determined to bring the world’s finest experts and most successful advisors to the New Orleans Conference to show us the way through the multitude of crises now facing us.

And I’m happy to report that we’ve been very successful in doing precisely that.

So far, we’ve locked in notables like former presidential candidates Fred Thompson and Steve Forbes to reveal the plans for Washington’s next assault on your wealth. Just a few days after the elections, they’ll analyze the results and tell us in no uncertain terms what they mean for the economy, the markets and your financial future.

You’ll also hear from legendary analyst Dr. Marc Faber, noted economist Stephen Moore, famed trading advisor Dennis Gartman, popular investment authority Peter Schiff — plus many more to come.

Of course, everyone’s buzzing once again about our latest conservative-liberal-libertarian debate, wondering who Doug Casey will face off against this year. Well, I’m expecting our biggest blockbuster ever, as Doug’s going head-to-head with Fred Thompson and political muckraker James Carville.

We may need a referee for this one!

Don’t worry — we’ll have much more investment value as well. In fact, this year’s event, being held from November 13-17, will feature in-depth analysis of the energy crisis...and an expert review of the booming alternative energy investment market.

Bottom line: The New Orleans 2008 faculty will feature dozens of the most successful advisors in stocks, precious metals, mining shares, mutual funds, currencies, options, fixed income investments, economics, geopolitics and more.

But here’s the deal: If you don’t make the decision to attend right now, it’s going to cost you hundreds of dollars more to attend...and you might not be able to get into our convenient host hotel at all!

Here’s what you need to do right now:

It’s important that you act now.

Normally, the New Orleans Conference helps attendees make a fortune. This year, it could help you save one as well.

Sincerely,
Brien Lundin
