The past 12 months have clearly demonstrated that you can not trust most commercial investment firm executives to tell you the truth about this crisis. Though they have consistently stated month after month that this crisis has bottomed, the fact is that global stock markets have shed trillions of dollars of value since they have made their declarations. At SmartKnowledgeU™, we won’t promise that all the investments we discuss will turn to gold overnight because as this crisis unfolds, volatility is to be expected and prolonged periods of patience, at times, will be required to garner significant profits. However, we promise to provide you expert analysis of the macroeconomic environment that you won’t uncover in any public arena. Our Chief Wealth Creator, JS Kim, states: “There is a reason that I chose to call my company SmartKnowledgeU™ and not SmartMoneyU. Our goal is just not to create money and wealth, but to provide KNOWLEDGE that will create a wealthy mindset. Creating a proper mindset sustains the creation of wealth, whereas a singular focus on money can create wealth that is easily destroyed. As this crisis unfolds, there will be times when investments that appear to be terrible will turn out to be great and investments that appear to be great will eventually evolve into terrible investments. This is why we provide you with the knowledge to be courageous and patient during difficult investment environments.

Markets are emotional, and for short periods of time, they can often move strongly in directions that fool many investors into making terrible decisions. Eventually, fundamentals will always reverse these wrong movements, and when this happens, the majority of investors are caught off guard the majority of the time. At SmartKnowledgeU&trade, we help you understand the truth about this Monetary Crisis - a truth that often directly contradicts the general consensus being reported in the mainstream media. To help you understand how great this deception can be at times, please read not just the article, but ALL THE COMMENTS that follow my April 23rd, 2008 article,"Will US Markets Crash Now or Later?", by following this link here. Follow the commercial investment industry's advice and you are almost guaranteed to make the wrong decisions during this crisis. Two years ago, when I first launched SmartKnowledgeU&trade, we provided a report to our members titled “The Best Investment for the Next Five Years." As of November, 2008, this investment is still up about 100% and may very well turn out to be, as we called it, the absolute best investment anyone could have purchased for a five year period.

In today’s environment, it is difficult to know who and what to believe about this crisis. Have residential housing prices bottomed or will they get worse? Is deflation or inflation coming? If you’ve remained fully invested, should you sell out now, or if you do, will you miss a huge rally ahead? If you don’t, will you be crushed by more steep declines in the market? These are the types of questions we answer at SmartKnowledgeU&trade. Explore my investment blog, The Underground Investor, and you will discover that many of my predictions for the past two years have since come true, including the collapse of hedge funds, steep slides in U.S. bond markets, the collapse of financial stocks and the bankruptcies of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (Note: As some of these predictions were reserved for subscribing, paying members only, please refer to our Platinum Member fact sheet for a more comprehensive list of my past predictions.)

In my book, Confessions of a Wall Street Insider, published in early 2008, I warned that gold's price would be pushed down heavily as this crisis unfolded. I stated: "a pullback to the $750 to $780 range, if it happens in 2008, will NOT mean that the gold bull has been broken." Though gold eventually corrected even further than my prediction, I stated clearly that such an event should be interpreted as “a strong buying opportunity." During crises, markets can emotionally be swayed from crest to trough, and vice versa, very quickly and seemingly without warning. At SmartKnowledgeU&trade, we provide detailed & timely guidance on the types of assets (both stocks and non-stock assets) that we believe will outperform tremendously as this crisis deepens. Many of our services provide timely alerts and bulletins that warn our members of events we believe will happen in the near future. Consequently, rarely have our members ever been caught off guard by any major development during this Monetary Crisis. Though I provide perhaps 10% of the information in my public blog that I present to my members, many of my articles have still been published in international newspapers & internationally syndicated sites including Reuters, the Financial Times, AOL finance, & Yahoo Finance.

Make no mistake about it, the mainstream investment industry will continue to take advantage of every mini-rally to claim that the crisis has "bottomed", and they will continue to conceal the fact that this crisis is a MONETARY CRISIS first and foremost. Though I was educated at an Ivy League university and have earned two Master degrees, including an MBA and Master in Public Policy, I currently maintain ZERO ties to the mainstream commercial investment industry and thus am not restricted in my guidance to you by being forced to employ sell-side investment strategies that are of no benefit to you the customer. At SmartKnowledgeU&trade, it is always MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY to ensure that you, the customer, are best equipped to understand and position your assets to benefit from this developing monetary crisis, a mission that would be nearly IMPOSSIBLE were I still working at a commercial investment firm.
