Testimonials about the SmartKnowledgeU™ Founder & Our Proprietary Investment System
Money has definitely been made, you pretty much timed this thing to perfection. Absolutely incredible. Got plenty of dry powder left and ready to load up again when you give the word. (regarding a warning to take profits with specific precious metal stocks in 2009, the SmartKnowledgeU™ Crisis Investment Opportunities newsletter)
- Tim D., California, USA
I did buy some [of the investments you discussed]. They're up 125%...I've always believed that knowledge is power. Not only do you have a huge arsenal of knowledge, you have the intuition. You are truly gifted, and I am blessed to have SmartKnowledgeU™ as a friend.
- Angela C., California, USA
"Whilst I purchased your Platinum level membership a couple of weeks ago, it has only been in the last 36 hours that I have actually gotten into the modules (21-28). So two words: WOW! and THANK YOU! Actually three words... but truly, I am finding the information and the degree of detail fascinating, I feel your passion for this subject coming off the screen! And, importantly, I am acting on this information. Thank you for your massive efforts in putting this course together and making it available to all."
- Jamie T., Melbourne, Australia
Regarding the SmartKnowledgeU Private Consultation: "Your input has been most valuable and you have given me so much confidence and knowledge about the current crisis. I am certain that my portfolio would not be where it is today if not for your services. I am delighted to report that my [ ]portfolio is doing very well! Earlier this week, I made over $20,000 in one day in just my stocks (not even including the [other investments we discussed]).....I couldn't have done it without you...I do subscribe to a number of different services to provide me with a well rounded perspective; however, your service is by far the most detailed and thorough (and my favorite). "
- Cheryl W., Indiana, USA
Regarding a specific and timely investment opportunity we sent all Platinum Level members in a 2008 Special Alert: "Sold all 150 calls and locked in gains of about $23,000 [in just two weeks time]. Thanks!"
- Rich K., Florida, USA
"You were so prescient in predicting all of this -- it's amazing! I remember you predicting Washington Mutual failing too! You really do have a crystal ball."
- Joanna G., California, USA
"I am definitely more confident [about investing on my own]. Since I became a [Platinum] Member, I have consolidated all of my 401k funds into one Fidelity account, and the investments I have made have been significantly better than if I had left them where they were. I am 55 years old and only have about 10 more years to get my 401k healthy to a point that I can retire and live a fairly good life. I am confident I can get my account up significantly so that my children will not have to worry about my finances as I grow older."
- Diane H., Maryland, USA
"I am making money now, and your input has been very valuable to me, as I am learning about the economics and investment. I am quite grateful to get to know and learn from you at the early stage of my investment, and it has set me on a good and right track."
- Aaron K., California, USA
"I have rarely met a professional with so much deep insight and knowledge about his area of expertise. The advice John gives is to the point and easy to follow. I will highly recommend John to anyone."
- Tim H., Bangkok, Thailand
"I truthfully want to thank SmartKnowledgeU Team, especially Mr. Kim, for allowing other people to learn about such precious knowledge that we could hardly ever find elsewhere. I confidently believe that the things that SmartKnowledgeU teaches will be significantly influential to so many people. Mr. Kim allows me to live outside the machine where its system restricts the population from seeing the truth for themselves. I consider myself very lucky for knowing Mr. Kim and SmartKnowledgeU."
- Max K., Seoul, South Korea
"I have stressed to both of [my children] that reading these modules [the SmartKnowledgeU™ wealth literacy modules for young adults] can be life changing if they put some effort into reading the material…Once again, thank you very much for sharing this material with my children. I sincerely believe this will change their life."
- Diane H., Maryland, USA
"Mr. Kim is one of the best high performing executives I know in Japan. He has excellent connections at the highest levels in various industries, high level skills in foreign languages, highly self-motivated individual, displays leadership skills, nice personality and is a member of the corporate elite in Asia. I recommend him without any hesitation. It is always a pleasure to work with Mr. Kim and we would welcome another opportunity to partner with him."
- Al P., Tokyo, Japan
"Having completed the review of the last nine months consulting and advice that you have carried out on my behalf, I am more than satisfied with the results we have achieved. Your forecast of the market movements has proved correct and far exceeds any other investments I have. I also appreciate your advice on currency movements which have also been a great help to me. Looking forward to a long and profitable relationship."
- Theodore B., Bangkok, Thailand
What People are Saying About SmartKnowledgeU™'s Publicly Syndicated Online Financial Analysis
"You won't see this analysis on NBC, but we will be reading the book about it "The Lost Decade 2010-2020" (on our third generation iPad)."
“Yes! ‘This change will have to come from the people.’ A powerful piece, JS Kim, paralleling in impact Thomas Paine's political pamphlet, Common Sense. that “brought the rising revolutionary sentiment into sharp focus by placing blame for the suffering of the colonies directly” on the perpetrator.”
"Far and away the single best article I’ve ever read on ZH. Excellent work."
"The monetary system today, as it has been structured by Central Bankers, is immoral....if you need a sock puppet I am more than willing to lend my sock.....I have posted profusely on this thread and am in complete agreement with your theses and observations....I did not think I would find someone so articulate and pertinent in the discussion of the issues as you.”
"Mr. Kim has dissected Nouriel Roubini's pale effort at a reasoned critique of gold investment with the skill of one who is well practiced in the art of employing Occam's Razor. Kudos to Mr. Kim for an exceptional analysis..."
"God Bless you for serving mankind and knowledge is power, one can make the right decisions to protect themselves and safeguard their families. I’m a natural health practitioner and precious metals broker only after having been taken advantage by monied interest on both fronts and learning the hard 'knox' way that we are all being taken advantage of and suffered the same fate in two of the most important factors of ones happiness in life, having your independence with good health and wealth."
"Mr. Kim - Your analogies are slightly flawed. When the dam breaks again, washing away the village, and the undersea mountain of gubmint bull$#!+ collapses, decimating all shores with a monstrous tsunami, only 98% of the villagers will perish. The other 2% listened to you and will be safely standing on immovable stacks of gold & silver bars and coins. Keep the great articles coming!"
"I know a lot of readers have shared this but I truly believe that this is the best article I've ever read on ZH. Thank you sir."
"Anyway, I loved this article.....God I loved it...."
"J S Kim is the only one who gets to the bottom of the problem. Unsound money leads to bankruptcy. It just happens too slow for most meat heads to see. Excellent article."
"Good article Mr. Kim, I cannot fault your reasoning. I used to be a fan of Roubini but now I fear he has lost his way."
"I have been struck by the highly selective and misleading data mining employed by the politicians, economists and their fellow travelers who denigrate those who invest in gold. Bubble indeed. Have they applied their same flawed reasoning to the bubble in fiat currencies now inflating? No, that would be too painful. It is interesting that the first comment to this article by Mr. Kim, was contributed by someone with the identity of "jrainspe" who dashed off a one liner of questionable utility, i.e., "BS." Perhaps a bit of projection, I assume."
