How to Buy...

*The Dow Industrials first broke above 10,000 on March 12, 1999. Ten years later, on March 12, 2009, the Dow closed at 7,170.

That's led many to refer to the last 10 years as America's Lost Decade. And it's led many more investors to conclude that the American economy is broken and that investing for growth is a fool's errand.

After all, how will America ever overcome 10% unemployment and huge budget deficits? How we will ever work off the housing inventory and revive our economy?

Not anyone has all the answers to these questions. But I do know that top American companies aren't about to lose their position atop the global economy.

*FedEx was a $40 stock at the height of panic during the financial crisis. It's worth $87 now.

*Intel fell to $12. It's over $21 a share today.

*Disney dropped to $15 but now trades for $34.50.

These companies are global titans with unassailable business models and universally recognized brand names. And they are American companies. I'd wager that you can't think of more than a handful of foreign companies that are as powerful as Nike, Coca-Cola, or Microsoft.
You'll never go wrong investing in Great American companies, especially in times of crisis.


*Lost Decade? ...or Lost Opportunity to Buy Top Quality Companies at 20-Year Lows?

Back in 1980, the American economy was in bad shape. Unemployment was at 7.5%. Inflation was an amazing 13.5%.

Between 1980 and 1983, 118 savings & loan banks failed. Another 759 banks had to consolidate to avoid failure. The Dow Industrials fell 20% or more three different times between 1974 and 1984.

Investors and deposit-holders alike lost hundreds of billions of their wealth.

But America wasn't done. Not by a long shot.
In fact, the American economy was transformed in the years that followed the S&L Crisis. And an unprecedented period of growth and prosperity followed.

The only answer we need in times of financial crisis...Buy America.
In times of crisis, a simple strategy of buying America's top companies will not fail.

All you need to start building your wealth...
is a regular brokerage account, a little bit of time and a desire to succeed.
Most stock market "gurus" talk a good game. They'll tell you all day long where to put your money but they never tell you where their money is going.
