My Investors Get a Giant Christmas Bonus – You Can Too!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving last week with friends and family. My wife and I drove across America on our way to our new home in California, where we will be teaching at Chapman University.

We headed south through Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona to avoid a series of snowstorms and enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving with longtime friends Dave & Jane Phillips in Arizona. Dave is the president of Estate Planning Specialists, one of my recommended agents.

My subscribers always look forward to December and the holiday season. Why? Because my favorite investment pays us a special dividend every Christmas. (It also helps that this investment company is up 34% this year, and pays a generous monthly dividend to boot!)

‘American Dream Checks’

I call the payments “American Dream checks.” My subscribers get paid monthly checks that have kept up with inflation (it has a rising dividend policy), plus the Christmas bonus.

Santa’s gift check will be paid in a couple of weeks, but to qualify, you have to be a shareholder by Dec. 12. You have a week to get on board.

I’ve been recommending this stock for over seven years now. It went public in 2007, right before the financial crisis of 2008, and look how it has performed (it is the green line).

Notice that this investment fund has outperformed both the S&P 500 Index and Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway since inception in 2007.

And it’s still going strong, up 34% this year. Click here to learn how to collect your first American Dream Check — within the next four weeks.

My Investment Strategy: Sleep Well Growth & Income Stocks

I’ve been writing my newsletter, Forecasts & Strategies, since 1980 — we celebrate my 40th anniversary next year at www.freedomfest.com — and over the years I’ve developed a formula that really works.

It’s called “sleep well investing.” It has three parts:

  1. Invest in quality companies in growing industries. My companies are all making money.
  2. They must pay above average dividends.
  3. They must have a rising dividend policy.

Thus, quality stocks + above average yield + rising dividends = high total return.

Using this formula, my subscribers have beaten the market with less risk.

A first year introduction to Forecasts & Strategies is only $99.95. Money back guarantee.

Happy holidays!

Good investing, AEIOU,

Mark Skousen

Looking for the Perfect Gift During the Holidays?

There’s good reason why the “Sage from Omaha,” Warren Buffett, considers my book “The Maxims of Wall Street” the perfect gift during the holidays for friends, investors, clients, students, money managers and stockbrokers.

I presented a copy to Charles Schwab last month, and he was happy to receive it. “I’m always anxious to learn more,” he said.

It’s fun and educational to read on every page. The book is divided by topics, such as growth vs. income, contrary investing, bargain hunting, the pros and cons of gold, etc. Plus, it includes lots of stories about J. P. Morgan, Joe Kennedy, Bernard Baruch and Jesse Livermore.

“Maxims” is the one and only compendium of financial adages, ancient proverbs and worldly wisdom — it has sold over 28,000 copies. Alex Green calls it a “classic.” It has been endorsed by Warren Buffett, Jack Bogle, Kevin O’Leary and Dennis Gartman, who said, “It’s amazing the depth of wisdom one can find in just one or two lines from your book.”

You can get an autographed copy for only $20 — and all additional copies are only $10 each. If you order an entire box of 32 books, you pay only $300. Plus, I pay postage and autograph each copy that is mailed within the United States.

If you order NOW, I’ll mail them right away — guaranteed to arrive before Christmas.

To order, call Harold at Ensign Publishing, toll-free 1-866-254-2057, or go to www.skousenbooks.com.
