Hi... my name is Rob Lamoureux.
Like many of you, I’m a paid-up Stansberry Research subscriber. A couple years ago, my life completely changed. I certainly never expected it… or sought it out. Never expected the invites to fancy parties or to see my own face staring back when I open my favorite websites and emails. It all started when I went viral. More on that in a minute… It made me “famous.” Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not exactly getting calls from talent agencies. I’ll never run for office. I have the athletic skills of a clumsy 11-year-old. And I doubt I’ll ever set foot anywhere near a private jet. I’m a completely unremarkable guy. But I did DO something remarkable. I told the truth.
The real, unvarnished, no-B.S. truth of how I retired very comfortably – and early – at age 52. With just ONE straightforward investment technique. No special skills. No once-in-a- lifetime insight like loading up on Bitcoin 10 years ago… or Amazon in 2005.
Just a simple, repeatable technique that changed everything for me and my family. You’ll see what I mean in just a moment. I was moved to tears when I got to tell my story… and express my gratitude for what I had discovered. That’s what made me famous.

This offer is ONLY available to you as a recipient of my special letter. It’s not being advertised online or shared anywhere else. And it’s only good until March 31 st . The amazing thing is – this bonus offer is actually a big upgrade to what I negotiated for some readers when I first went viral. I explain everything in the pages that follow. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve ever heard about this before or not. I promise – you haven’t missed anything. But I doubt that will be true for much longer. The biggest opportunity for this strategy in at least a decade is about to begin. This approach has already been paying me handsomely throughout the ups and downs of the last two years. I barely batted an eye when the markets fell by more than 30% in the spring of 2020. All I saw was opportunity. And since I knew this technique, I was able to take advantage.
I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether I deserve it. But I suppose I at least understand. Because look around. Look at social media… politics… celebrity culture. Heck, even the way we treat our neighbors. We’re neck-deep in resentment… B.S… and outright lies. It’s rare to hear someone speak from the heart. That’s what I did. And as you’ll see below, I didn’t leave anything out about exactly how I retired worry free, at least a decade earlier than I ever thought possible. I know that’s why my message took off. And it’s why I’m reaching out to you today. I’m not asking anything of you, except to read on for a few minutes. To set aside your cynicism. In exchange, I want to give the FULL details of how I changed my life… And show you a one-time- only bonus offer that I’ve negotiated for you with the folks at Stansberry Research.

For example, when the energy sector was hit hard by the pandemic, I was able to make an investment in Comstock Energy – without touching stocks or options – that gained 49% in less than five months. That’s 125% annualized.
The travel industry was hit pretty hard, too. But my investment in Wyndham Hotels needed less than three months to give me an 18% gain… 97% annualized.
And in the wake of the shutdown, when it looked like no one would ever spend a penny for infrastructure again, I was able to make four separate investments in U.S. Steel… each one of which posted annualized gains between 67% and 80%!
Eclipse Resources handed me a gain of 55% in the same time frame – 141% annualized.
With Gulfport Energy, I saw an 81% return in just over six months – an annualized return of well over 150%.
Again, this was all without ever touching stocks, options, crypto, or anything else you’ve likely considered. And WITHOUT using leverage, “shorting,” or anything like that.

Remember, I’m retired. The last thing I want is a bunch of risky investments that might or might not pan out! Yet all of this success happened before the rare and massive opportunity the EXPERTS on this strategy at Stansberry are expecting in 2022. A short period of time when this approach can become dramatically more lucrative – perhaps as much as 5x better, based on history – while reducing risk . But I’m getting ahead of myself. Because my message isn’t really about any particular event in the markets – past or future. It’s about telling the truth, from the heart. That’s all I ever wanted to do. And it’s why the folks at Stansberry spent a lot of money to get this letter into your hands. I promise, what I’m about to tell you will completely change the direction of your life, the way it did for me. And – again – this letter contains a bonus offer that’s only for the small subset of folks chosen to receive it.
It’s not available to the general public online, or anywhere else. But you have to reply by March 31, 2022 to accept. I hope you will. But that’s completely up to you. As you’ll see below, I literally give away everything you need to know. This is how I stopped checking stock prices four times a day, or even four times a month. It’s how I earn consistent income and capital gains in every kind of market I’ve ever seen – good or bad. I think when you see this, you may never buy another stock again. If you don’t agree – no problem. Know that I’m sharing this with the utmost gratitude. To the people that showed me how to retire early, with no worries or extraordinary effort. And to you, for listening. Here’s the transcript of the original message I wanted to show you. The one that changed my life – and quite a few others…

even a particularly good investor.
Dear fellow Stansberry Research subscriber, My name is Rob Lamoureux. I’m a paid-up Stansberry subscriber, just like you. Through a strange
Over the years, I’ve made some of the worst financial mistakes you can imagine…
PAID UP STANSBERRY SUBSCRIBER Rob Lamoureux
… before I ultimately discovered ONE idea from Stansberry Research that changed everything. I’m going to share it with you right now. And I promise you – what I’m about to say is very different from anything you’ve heard before. Like I said, I’m a Stansberry reader like you. I don’t work for Stansberry Research. And no, neither does my spouse, my high school buddy, or my cousin Tim. Nothing like that.
series of events… I ended up at the Stansberry Research studios in Baltimore shooting this short video for you. Don’t worry – I’ll explain everything. In a way, it started two years ago, when I retired at age 52. Today, I live in a beautiful four- bedroom house in upstate New York. I used to worry about mortgage payments… not anymore. I’ve put three of my four children through private colleges, and I spend most of my time now planning vacations with my wife. Our next is a two-week cruise to Hawaii. But please understand… I’m not here to brag. I don’t think I’m special. Or
The Answer | Page 7
Apart from processing my credit card, no one at Stansberry had ever heard of me until a few weeks ago. Just recently, I read something that Stansberry Research founder Porter Stansberry wrote in the Digest that shocked me. What happened next was unusual, to say the least. I ended up talking to some very senior folks at the company. And I got them to agree to two radical changes. Things they’ve never done before in the 20-year history of the company. First, they agreed to fly me here to Baltimore, hand over the “mic,” and let me speak directly to fellow subscribers. Even though they might not like everything I have to say. The second step… I’ll tell you about in a moment. So please, hang around to the end of this short video. I think it’ll surprise you, big time. But before I go any further, I want to be clear about something…
Porter Stansberry’s research helped me retire at age 52. I owe him an enormous debt of gratitude. But I’m not here to carry water for Porter or anyone else. I’ve spent weeks working on this video for one reason: To share with you the ONE idea – out of tens of thousands of dollars-worth of research that I read – that’s changed my life more than anything else. I want you to have the same opportunity I did to retire worry free, years ahead of schedule. But I’m going to tell you this story my way… CUTTING THROUGH THE B.S. See… I hate marketing messages. I hear from a lot of financial publishers. Maybe you do, too. And if you’re anything like me… you’ve grown skeptical of emails promising “overnight riches” or the “next big thing” in the markets, that somehow manages to change nearly every day.
Page 8 | Stansberry Subscriber Speaks Out
One I got recently said I could triple my money every 72 hours. Do I look like I was born yesterday? I’ve seen them all… and rejected most of them. And I know I’m not alone. That’s part of how I got talking to Porter’s team. They told me this has been readers’ No. 1 complaint for years. I say – great. It’s good to be skeptical. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t resent Stansberry for promoting their research. It’s a business. I get that… and I think most of you do too. But with so much hype out there it can be exhausting trying to figure out which idea can really help you the most. That’s why I’m here right now. My only “agenda” here is to cut through the B.S. and tell you the one idea that’s truly worked the best for me. Keep in mind, I receive everything Stansberry publishes – all 35 research services – through a special invite-only subscription called the Alliance .
Back in 2008, I paid around one-eighth what it would cost you today. But I’m not here to tell you to join the Alliance . I’ve got no business telling you to part with upwards of nearly $35,000. And although I’m sure they have some good ideas… I think you can safely forget about 34 of those 35 research services I mentioned. I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out. I just want to tell you about the ONE idea that helped me retire at 52. I give the company a lot of credit for allowing me to speak out like this. Because frankly, when you understand this one idea, there’s a good chance you’ll stop buying newsletters forever. This is a real, but virtually unknown, investing strategy that anyone can use. In the next few minutes, I’ll show you what it is… how it works… and how I’ve used it with my own, real money.
The Answer | Page 9
321%ONMY FIRST TRY
But even in this awful market I recently closed out a 16% gain in under three months. I was making money, as everyone else was losing it. With none of the worry of the way I used to invest. I set these plays up in a few minutes each month and then basically forget about them until they pay me back, on a specific schedule. Anyone can achieve those kinds of results. I can’t stress this enough… I’m not a genius. And you don’t have to be one either to see these kinds of gains. That’s why I call this strategy “The Answer.” Because for me, it was the answer to pretty much every big question about retirement. ` Like how can I generate a virtually guaranteed stream of income every year without ever having to work again? ` How can I grow my savings
The very first time I tried this strategy, 10 years ago now, I made 321% in just over three years with an electronics company. But I wasn’t betting on whether this company would come up with the “next big thing”… or spotting some critical market trend. Instead, I did it in a way where my returns were all but virtually guaranteed, in advance. Oh, and I didn’t track the investment basically at all. I’d maybe check in on the price once a month, mostly out of curiosity. It worked so well that I tried this strategy again – twice – with a major national retail chain. The first of those two handed me a 307 % profit in three and a half years. And the second one, I “only” made 295% in three years. But I’m not complaining. The returns definitely vary. And of course, past performance is no guarantee of future results.
every year with very little risk? I can’t afford to lose ANYTHING at this stage of life. And when the virus
Page 10 | Stansberry Subscriber Speaks Out
hit, it was a HUGE relief knowing that my nest egg is protected by law. ` In short… what’s the best way to grow my money with the highest possible upside and the least amount of risk? I know those were my questions. And once I found “The Answer” they went away. I’ve been able to make my own retirement a reality at age 52… instead of the fantasy it was just a few years ago. And the coronavirus market crash didn’t faze me at all. I didn’t watch my accounts tank… or need to worry about my future income and capital gains at all. I want you to be able to have that too – no matter what comes next. Because the effects of the virus are not going to go away quickly. Smart folks are saying they’re going to have to keep on turning big parts of the economy on and off for quite a while. It seems like it’ll be a wild ride – at best – for stocks. But for this approach – it
doesn’t matter. It doesn’t rely on a booming market, or even a recovering one. Whether you put a large portion of your wealth into this approach… or simply dip a toe in… I’m completely certain you’ll be glad you did. I know I was. EX-STOCKBROKER CONFESSES… See, I learned the hard way to be humble about investing… and skeptical about supposedly “can’t lose” ideas.
I barely made it through crashes in 2000 and 2008.
I’m sure you remember when the tech bubble burst in 2000.
At the time, I was a retail broker for a major Wall Street firm.
I watched my colleagues keep telling clients to “buy the dips” right down to the bottom. We got paid on commissions. So, the only way to keep getting paid was to give increasingly bad
The Answer | Page 11
advice to the folks you were supposed to be helping.
I’d never seen anything outside of Wall Street “research” up to that point – research that was secretly tilted toward the firm’s big investment banking clients. Within a few years, I was following so many newsletters that it only made sense to join the Alliance and get lifetime access to all of Stansberry’s research. I paid a tiny fraction of what it would cost you today. And even at that price it was a huge stretch for me at the time.
I hated watching it – and I refused to do it.
By the time the market bottomed, I’d left Wall Street forever. The crash had taken not only a huge chunk of my savings, but my income as well.
I had to pull my kids out of private school.
They were incredibly good natured about going back to public school, even though it meant leaving friends behind.
But the timing, as it turned out, couldn’t have been better.
But it broke my heart.
It was 2008. The next big crash. The market fell nearly in half.
And they weren’t the only ones depending on me.
The people that mattered most in my life were still turning to me for answers. Answers I wasn’t sure I had. My children’s college savings couldn’t take another devastating hit. My folks’ retirement was on the line. And my wife and I were now starting to think about our own retirement.
My dad was a retired teacher, living on his investments and his Social Security check – there was no way I was going to watch him be forced to go back to work. It was right around then that I discovered Stansberry Research.
Page 12 | Stansberry Subscriber Speaks Out
VIRTUALLY GUARANTEED RETURNS?
With the market crashing, it looked like we would never get there. Porter’s ideas helped me stay afloat… but I needed a breakthrough. It felt like I was running out of time.
The Answer involves an investment market you’ve probably never touched… or even realized was available to individuals.
And that was when I discovered the Answer.
But it’s not some fringe thing.
I think it’s conservative to say my Alliance subscription has paid for itself 100 times over.
It’s actually far bigger than the stock market.
And vastly better for folks who are retired… or hoping to retire sooner than they thought possible. (And who isn’t?) Better than stocks. Better than government bonds. Better even than real estate. As good as all these investments can be… this one beats them, hands down. That’s why Porter’s been trying to get the word out about it for years .
But it’s almost completely because of one idea.
It’s why I was able to survive the 2008 crash… and quickly get in the best financial shape of my life. And it’s why, when the next crash finally came – the virus crash – I barely suffered at all.
By then, I had fully embraced this new approach to investing.
And it not only saved my retirement portfolio… it saved my peace of mind.
The Answer | Page 13
For example, back in 2013, he told readers:
dividend-like payment twice a year. Except this payment is your legal right .
It CANNOT be cut or suspended like a stock dividend.
In 2015, he said:
Oh, and with Porter’s approach, the dividend yield is often in the range of 10%... 15%... or more. Nearly 10 times the yield of the average stock. In fact, a 15% annual return is – by itself – better than most people ever do in stocks. But that’s just the beginning. You’re collecting this money while waiting for the exact date on which you can expect to walk away with your original investment, plus a big capital gain. Sometimes 50%... sometimes 100%... 300%... or more. But again… you know the amount – and when you’ll get it – at the time you make the investment.
And in 2018, he said this approach:
It took me a long time to pay attention. But boy am I glad I did. See, in this market, your investment is backed by strong legal guarantees . You know, when you invest, exactly what you’re going to get back and exactly when . What happens is… when you make an investment, you immediately start receiving a
Then you can do it all again.
The risk isn’t zero. Nothing in the markets is.
Page 14 | Stansberry Subscriber Speaks Out
anywhere near this attractive, in 2009, Porter and his team showed readers a more than 700% gain with this type of investment. I think this is the single best opportunity to make back everything you may have lost in the crash – and then some. Not by gambling on stocks, but in an investment where your returns are legally protected . So, what is The Answer? WHY I’MQUITTING STOCKS FOREVER By now you may have guessed… I’m talking about a unique strategy involving the bond market. But not Treasury bonds. And not those bond funds that are supposed to be the “safe” option in your retirement account, while providing basically no return… and no “safe harbor” during a crash like we just lived through.
But the returns are so consistent and so reliable that many retirees who’ve learned about this approach simply plan their future living expenses by timing these payoff dates well into the future. Since I started doing this, I’ve been making returns that are not only better than stocks – but more predictable and with less risk. For example, right now I hold positions that pay me annual income of 21%... 12%... and 20% – just in interest alone! And I’m set up to collect capital gains of 251%, 150%, and 211%.
Gains that are virtually guaranteed to me by law ,
regardless of how the stock market or economy are doing during this crisis.
In fact, I’ve been buying more .
Right now, because of everything that’s unfolded this year, the capital gains potential is about to get much bigger.
No, nothing like that.
The last time the market got
The Answer | Page 15
Instead, this strategy involves individual bonds issued by some of the biggest companies in the world. You can buy and sell these, just like a stock, right through your brokerage account. In essence, a bond is a loan to these companies. And always for a specific period of time. You always know the exact date you’ll get paid back. Your loan is backed by a legal contract – a legal obligation – for the company to repay you the full amount – usually $1,000 per bond – on that date.
Most people don’t know that individual investors can tap into this at all.
But you can. And I have.
It’s a dramatically less risky way to make money with some of the best companies in the world.
But that’s not the whole story.
See, Porter has unlocked a unique secret involving these bonds. A way to buy them for a fraction of their true contractual value… at discounts ranging from 10% to 70% or more. Using this secret, you can buy a $1,000 bond for less than $1,000 – sometimes far less – get generous interest payments for several years… and then get the full $1,000 back on the date in the contract . For example, one of the first trades I personally made was buying a $1,000 bond for $171.50 back in 2009.
Plus interest, of course, to make the arrangement worthwhile for you.
The big players in this market are institutions like banks… insurance companies… and pension funds. They do this all the time because it’s a huge market (again, bigger than stocks) and they depend on the rock-solid legal guarantees.
Three years later, I collected the full $1,000 face value for
Page 16 | Stansberry Subscriber Speaks Out
each bond, as promised, for a 483% capital gain.
saying there’s a way to make more money than stocks… and more income… and do it more safely. Why he keeps saying he thinks readers should quit stocks forever. This is the approach. I’m giving it to you right now.
Plus, I collected over $300 of interest on each bond I bought.
I didn’t make this message to keep it a mystery.
That’s 175% of my purchase price in interest payments alone! And that is exactly the kind of opportunity shaping up again right now. As great as these bonds are, it’s rare to buy a $1,000 for just $300… $200… or $150. I was able to do it in 2009, after the last crisis. And I’m seeing it again right now , as bond fund managers are selling everything in a panic, and individual bonds with a low risk of default are available for $500… $400… $300… or less.
I made it to tell you that this is how I retired at 52, with very little effort. And I genuinely want you to try it and see, because while my results have been fantastic, the most important part of this is that anyone can get similar results … or better… just by following the guidance of Porter and his team.
I understand if you’re skeptical. I was too.
After all, why would such a transaction be possible, let alone repeatable?
This is exactly what Porter is talking about when he keeps
The Answer | Page 17
ULTRA-LOWRISK
wars… or the “inverted yield curve,” whatever that is.
My best advice is to let Porter and his team explain it in detail on the next page. After all, I’m not the expert. I just know that if I can do this, anyone can. With the help of Porter and his team… I found out that it’s as easy to buy these bonds as it is to buy stocks. Really easier in the long run, considering I do less trading with fewer positions
I don’t even need to think much about losing my capital when the market collapses by 20%… 30%… or even 40%. Because I know my investments are protected by law.
That’s why I sleep like a baby at night.
I spend an hour or two a month monitoring my investments, instead of an hour or two a day. And that’s why I’m so psyched to share this idea with you. As an Alliance member since 2008, I feel a kinship with Stansberry subscribers. I asked for the chance to share my story with you… if only to share one simple detail:
and don’t bother with watching the market.
I do it all online.
Just like stocks, I can get my orders filled right away. Or I can set the price I’m willing to pay and wait for the market to fill it. I never need to rush in and out of positions like stock traders in this massively volatile market.
This really works.
I know you’ve read Porter’s words on this.
I don’t need to worry about earnings reports… trade
Page 18 | Stansberry Subscriber Speaks Out
MY AGREEMENT WITH STANSBERRY RESEARCH Like I mentioned at the outset, Stansberry took an unusual step by letting me speak directly to you.
But at the end of the day… Porter stands to gain financially from you buying his research. I wanted you to hear it from me, as someone who has benefitted from following Porter’s advice… someone who had peace of mind during the crash… and almost certainly outperformed 99% of investors. You may or may not give up buying stocks forever, as Porter suggests… but I’m certain you will do better as an investor by making this part of your game plan. And it’s not rocket science. If you can go online and buy 100 shares of Microsoft… you have everything it takes to invest in a bond. Even if you’ve never done it before, like I hadn’t until a few years ago. I hope my story helps you overcome the fear or the doubt that you can do this.
But our agreement didn’t end there.
I asked them to arrange something special in exchange for my sharing my story. See, as an Alliance member – I automatically had access to this research.
In other words, I got “the Answer” essentially for free.
I didn’t have to wonder if it was worth it. I read it… I was convinced… I tried it. And it’s going to be the primary way I invest for the rest of my life. But there’s no getting around it. This kind of research is normally pretty expensive.
Believe me… you can.
Now, from my view from

is more than a bargain . For me, and for my family, it’s been a financial lifesaver. Below, you’ll find a message from Stansberry Research Publisher Brett Aitken, with the details of this exclusive offer – as well as a LOT more details about this strategy from Stansberry’s experts. You can read everything over and decide for yourself. All I can tell you is this. If you are on the fence… come on down. The only regret you’ll have is not trying it sooner. Regards,
the inside, even a lifetime subscription at full price is an absolute bargain.
You could literally recoup the entire cost in just a trade or two.
But when I came forward and shared my story… the condition I set was – Stansberry had to absolutely gut the usual price for this. So, it would be easily affordable for everyone . I’m not talking about a small discount. I’m talking about allowing access to this research, called Stansberry’s Credit Opportunities , at an all- time-low price.
Quite a few have already said “yes.”
Rob Lamoureux Albany, NY
But now, today, it’s gotten even better .
If the price today is still too big of a hurdle, this probably just isn’t suitable for you. I doubt you’ll ever do it.
But I hope you will.
I can’t stress this enough: Even at full price, this research

SPECIAL OFFER FROM THE PUBL ISHER
Rob’s One-Time-Only “Gift” to You: Access “The Answer” to Retirement for 66% OFF The Usual Price Rob already negotiated an unprecedented half- off deal for readers like you. But through this letter ONLY – you can claim an even bigger discount that we never plan to repeat.
Since the COVID-19 crash, this strategy has racked up 17 closed winners (with NO losers).
But youMUST Reply by March 31 st to claim this offer.
Hi, I’m Brett Aitken, publisher of Stansberry Research.
Readers often ask us to name the ONE idea that we most recommend. The best. Our favorite. The strategy with the highest upside and the lowest risk.
That puts me in a tough spot. Nobody wants to hear the usual answer...
STANSBERRY RESEARCH PUBLISHER Brett Aitken
The Answer | Page 21
SPECIAL OFFER FROM THE PUBL ISHER
“It depends on your personal situation... your goals… and your tolerance for risk.” But what do I really think? Hands down – it’s the strategy that subscriber Rob Lamoureux used to retire at 52. What he called “The Answer” to retirement in his video that you just saw. The unique bond strategy we recommend in Stansberry’s Credit Opportunities . Rob has unlimited access to everything that we publish. And, as he just told you, he thinks Credit Opportunities is – far and away – the most valuable research we publish – and the one thing that added more to his wealth and retirement than everything else combined . I think that’s a powerful message coming from a real subscriber like you. By the way – Rob initially offered to share his story completely for free. That’s how strongly he feels about sharing this approach with fellow readers. But we ultimately decided to compensate him for doing such a great job. That’s just how we do business. But there’s more to the story. See, when Rob first came forward with his story, we agreed to offer a huge and totally unprecedented 50% discount to anyone who watched his video and decided to try Stansberry’s Credit Opportunities. Rob insisted on it. And even though it was never the plan, we’ve continued to offer this 50% discount for more than a year, as new readers have discovered Rob’s incredible story. Why?

SPECIAL OFFER FROM THE PUBL ISHER
Quite simply because this is the best way we’ve ever found to introduce readers like you to our very best, lowest-risk, high- upside research – again, my and Porter Stansberry’s favorite – without worrying about the price. And that matters far more than the greater profits we could have made by dropping Rob’s discount and charging far more for this research. In fact, late last year Rob asked us to “up the ante” and offer something even better than we were already doing for the holidays. And we did. Because Rob’s story is ultimately about far more than bonds… or investment research. It’s about the peace and freedom he’s been able to enjoy… his profound sense of gratitude… and his singular mission to “pay it forward” to you. That special offer is now closed… to nearly everyone. It’s not available to the public online. But because you may have missed it over the holidays… and you were selected to receive Rob’s special mailed invitation – it’s available to you, one last time, until March 31, 2022 . Just to be clear: we’re not just re-opening the all-time-best HALF OFF deal Rob negotiated for you… We’re beating it. And offering you 66% OFF this research for two full years, if you say “yes” today. This offer is strictly available until March 31 st through this special mailing.

But I’m thrilled to share it. I know it’s the right thing to do. And it couldn’t come at a more important time. This strategy saved Rob a tremendous amount of heartache and financial loss when COVID-19 sent the market plummeting two years ago… And when very popular sectors – like big tech – started to roll over last year. Now, the market looks dangerously overheated. Some of our top analysts see a major Melt Down ahead… But with this strategy – the Credit Opportunities strategy that changed Rob’s life – it’s just the opposite. Our experts are expecting to see the best opportunities in a decade or more . I’ll show you exactly why. Corporate America has GORGED on debt. And it’s all about to collapse like a Jenga tower. Just remember: That’s our opportunity . And you need to be ready in advance. The COVID-19 crash in early 2020 was a preview. Stansberry’s Credit Opportunities readers had the chance to bag eight big wins in a short time. The market turmoil gave us a chance to buy high-quality bonds at fire-sale prices. We put out an urgent, emergency issue of Stansberry’s Credit Opportunities in late March with seven opportunities, plus one more a few days later. The result? A perfect, 100%-win rate. And the payoff came quickly. We recommended selling the bonds for average gains of 18% in just 112 days on average. That’s 59% annualized.

Since then, the streak has continued. Our team has recommended and closed another nine positions for an annualized average gain of 41% – more than four times better than the 9% annualized return of the overall high-yield corporate-bond market. And this is only the beginning. The biggest opportunity is still ahead, without a doubt. And our experts think the set-up – which could begin as early as this year – will be even better than the “shopping spree” opportunity we saw in March 2020… or even 13 years ago during the last financial crisis… when readers saw a 773% gain (among many others). The same forces that could be a disaster for stocks are going to create a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for folks who know this one, simple strategy. It’s critical that you prepare now. You don’t want to be trying to secure access or learning this approach on the fly when the huge opportunities roll in. You’ll likely miss them. Keep in mind – this approach has already delivered more than 18% annual gains with a win rate of 87% since we re-launched it in 2015. That’s more than double the return of the overall corporate high- yield bond market. And similar to the 21% annual returns you would have earned investing in stocks – in a searing-hot market – while taking on far less risk. But the real beauty of this strategy is that it performs much better during a financial crisis. That’s because when bond prices fall, their returns rise. Meanwhile, their legal protections don’t go away. They become safer to own. This next financial crisis is already brewing.

364 U.S. companies went bankrupt just in the first 10months of 2021. These bankruptcies aren’t at some unusual peak. Actually, it’s just the opposite. They’re at an unusual low as reckless companies have gorged on
government bailouts and stupidly cheap credit. It’s the eerie calm before a very ugly storm. Bloomberg Intelligence recently warned:
“ “We’re at credit bubble levels of distressed debt. So credit markets are vulnerable to a significant correction.” Strange as it may seem – this is all very good for our strategy. These early tremors – and the much bigger shakeout on the way – are healthy. They drive investors out of corporate bonds – quality bonds – driving down prices and creating even more extraordinary opportunities for us. That’s why our Credit Opportunities editors just published a critical new report, Your Complete Guide to the Coming Credit Collapse , which you can receive in the next fewminutes if you say “yes” below. It’s a plain-English playbook for exactly what’s about to happen… and how you can position yourself for a huge wave of low-risk, potentially huge gains. They’ve never put out anything like this in more than five years. But now, it’s time. The big moment is arriving. And we likely won’t see another opportunity this good for a decade or more. It’s another reasonwhy we’ve taken the rare step of re- opening our all-time-best offer – with an EXTRA discount this week as a one-time-only “gift” to you.

If you’re new to Stansberry Research… Or if you’ve been on the fence about trying this approach – this is the moment to jump in and get started. I’m sure you won’t regret it. It’s not too late to begin using this strategy. Just the opposite. It’s probably the best opportunity you’ll ever see in your lifetime. That’s why we handed Rob the microphone to tell his story. And took the rare step of re-opening the all-time-best deal he negotiated for readers last year. And why I’m so glad you got to hear directly from Rob – a real subscriber and retiree with no special expertise. Because the biggest problemwith this strategy is that readers simply don’t believe it’s possible. Most people have simply never seen anything that can deliver double-digit annual income… And triple-digit capital gains… And let you plan around the exact dates you can expect these payments to arrive… And do it with a legally obligated investment contract that gives you the legal right to be paid on time and in full – even in an economic crisis. Most people don’t have the first clue what something like that can do to grow wealth. Instead, they’d much rather keep swinging for the fences, waiting for that ONE stock that’ll change everything for them, which for most people never comes. That’s why our firm’s founder, Porter Stansberry, tried for years to show this work. And why it’s Porter’s own answer to the old question about our No. 1 favorite strategy.

Yes, This Is Porter’s No. 1 Favorite Idea Out of Everything We Publish
I’ve spoken to him privately about it many times. Nearly everyone who works at Stansberry knows it. But it’s not some internal company secret. Porter said the same thing in Digest essays for years. Take a look: August 2016: “ “You can make plenty of money without ever touching bonds. But if you truly understood the corporate-bond market, you would never buy another stock again.” February 2018: “ “I often tell folks that they shouldn’t buy stocks at all until they’ve learned how to buy corporate bonds… If you do, you might find that buying corporate bonds (when they’re trading at a discount from par) is both far safer and far more lucrative than buying stocks.” May 2019: “ “Corporate bonds provide higher levels of income and can produce (as we’ve proven) total returns that are better than stocks , on average. More important, corporate bonds provide a way for investors to get a preferred return of capital and important legal protections, too. As a result, they’re much less risky than buying stock in the same company.” It seems completely crazy, of course. Without subscribers to our stock research, we’d be bankrupt. Porter spent 20 years building Stansberry Research.

We’re a profitable business with well over 200 employees. We publish over 30 different research services and ALL of them are 100% focused on investing in stocks, options, and cryptos. Except one. Yet Porter’s No. 1 recommendation to most readers is to forget about stocks forever! Stop buying them. Stop selling them. Stop following the upticks and downticks in the markets. Forget the incessant narrative about how the market is “behaving”… and what it might do next. There’s a better way. In this short letter, I’d like to show you exactly how it works... To answer any questions or fears that you might have… And possibly even convince you to STOP paying us for stock investing research… and just use Stansberry’s Credit Opportunities going forward. It couldn’t be more important right now. By starting now, you can STOP worrying about the next dramatic move in the markets. And you can collect income and capital gains while you wait for the big moment… The one where a flood of potentially lucrative setups arrives all at once. It’s coming soon, and when it arrives, I want you to already know exactly what to do. You don’t have to quit stocks or make radical changes. Even if you only consider this strategy for a portion of your portfolio – it could completely change your life in the next fewmonths. Just like it did for Rob Lamoureux. Remember: The only reason most people don’t do this is they have no idea it’s even possible.

But when you see bigger gains than stocks… backed by legal guarantees that no other investment can offer… You’ll wish you had done this years ago. You could enjoy a rich retirement, sooner. And you’ll reclaim untold hours spent stressing about stocks. Best of all: We haven’t tucked away this financial secret in some ultra-elite VIP corner of our research firm, where you need to spend thousands of dollars to even get a look. Noway. It’s too important to put out of reach for many folks like that. Now, thanks to Rob… it’s gotten even better. And we’re granting access to Stansberry’s Credit Opportunities for the lowest price in history, by far. Honoring Our Agreement with Rob Lamoureux As Rob mentioned, we made two unusual agreements with him. The first was to let him speak directly to our subscriber file. And the second was to make an extraordinary offer on his favorite research, in exchange for sharing his story. Obviously, we can’t let subscribers dictate the price of our research. But Rob’s powerful, honest message has helped hundreds of subscribers discover this extraordinary approach – in a way our typical messages could never do. He really did something heroic for readers like you. So, when he asked us to offer an all-time-low price… So that everyone can experience the peace of mind that he has during this crisis, with NO worries about the cost…

How could we say no? Normally, Stanberry’s Credit Opportunities is some of the most expensive research we publish. Some readers have paid $5,000 for access. Which is a bargain considering Stanberry’s Credit Opportunities has shown readers annualized returns on closed positions of 335%... 140%... 113%... 85%... 68% – with far less risk compared to stocks. But we know that telling you about these results isn’t the best way to get you to try it. We’d much rather let you see them yourself. And we suspect that once you try Stanberry’s Credit Opportunities , you’ll never want to be without it again. We want to make it so easy and cheap to get started that price simply can’t be the thing holding you back. And remember: Until March 31 st – through this special mailing – you can claim an ADDITIONAL bonus discount – and get two full years of research. We really did take an all-time-best deal and make it even better. This is a one-time-only offer. It’s not available anywhere else. And you must take action before March 31 st or you’ll miss it, forever. There will never be a better time to act. Near 20% Annual Returns See, our early conversations with Rob got us thinking about one of the biggest mysteries at Stansberry Research. Why have so few subscribers been willing to even try Stansberry’s Credit Opportunities …

… in spite of everything Porter has said… … And the fact that it’s delivered 18 %-per-year gains, on average, with an 87%-win rate so far. That’s not better than almost any other high-end research service over the last three years – with far less risk than any stock investment . Maybe that’s why we get feedback like this all the time from folks who’ve tried this approach: Douglas V. said: “ “I think Porter’s ‘You may never buy stocks again’ is certainly a possibility.” J.R. R. who told us: “ “I would rate this product an A+++. I understand Porter’s comment that if we understand how easy these bonds work, no one would ever buy stocks.” And Michael H. said: “ “This is, by far , the most valuable investment newsletter I have ever subscribed to. Porter, I doubted you initially, but you are correct: I have lost all interest in stocks . You will never produce a more valuable product for someone like myself who manages their total retirement portfolio.”
So why won’t more people try it? I don’t honestly know.
Page 32 | Stansberry Subscriber Speaks Out After all, this type of investment can produce bigger returns than stocks with far less volatility… and rock-solid legal protections. Bill L. described it like this: “ “Fabulous, Fabulous, Fabulous.”

That said, there are a few big “objections” we’ve heard more than once… These 3 Big “Obstacles” Are Myths… Here are the biggest ones: 1. The research is too expensive. I think you’ll disagree when you see the offer below. 2. Buying bonds is complicated and tricky. You have to call a brokerage “bond desk” that caters to professional traders. It’s exactly like buying a stock and probably easier for most folks than trading options. You just need the “ticker” for the bond you want to buy and the price you’re willing to pay. You used to need to make a phone call , but that’s rarely even true anymore. Many subscribers like Rob do all their bond trading online. 3. Bond investing is boring. This is a tricky one. A few years ago, Porter’s team recommended a bond trade that resulted in a total gain of 773% in less than five years. I think that’s as “exciting” as anything you’ll ever see in stocks. I also think retiring at 52 like Rob Lamoureux and having the time to do what matters to you is way more exciting than any stock trade. Still, some folks are ‘adrenaline junkies’ when it comes to the markets. They live for the thrill of daily trades and wild price swings. And that’s something you’ll rarely ever see with this approach. If that’s what you enjoy, this approach might not be the best fit for you. We think this strategy is suitable for nearly everyone. And when you subscribe, the first thing we’ll send you is our Credit Opportunities “Primer” – which details our full strategy and every question you might have. It even gives you a script for buying bonds on the phone, if you choose to go that way.

The Primer is not for sale at any price – and never will be. It’s only available as a subscriber to Stansberry’s Credit Opportunities . But if you could buy it, I think it should cost at least $5,000. That’s what we’ve charged for this research in the past and it’s still a fraction of what you’d pay a hedge or private wealth manager fund for similar insights, if you can find one using this strategy at all. But today, you can access it for a fraction of that price – along with our exact trade recommendations. Let me show you a step-by-step example of one of those recommendations. This wasn’t even one of our top performers – not even close. I just want you to see what a typical trade recommendation looks like. 33% in Under a Year (With a Fraction of the Risk) Shortly before we met Rob, we recommended buying a bond issued by CEC Entertainment, the company that owns the pizza and arcade brand Chuck E. Cheese. It’s an iconic brand with a long history of making profits. But after a series of bad quarters, bond holders had lost faith. As a result, you could have paid around $800 for the legal right to be paid back $1,000 in a couple years. Plus 8% annual interest. We saw it as an opportunity. The profits blip didn’t suddenly mean that kids were going to stop liking pizza, video games, and birthday parties, after all. More importantly – there was no sign that Chuck E. Cheese would be unable to fill its obligation to pay back the bond in full, with interest. This is the whole key to our Stansberry’s Credit Opportunities

strategy, which you can read about in detail the moment you subscribe. I recommend you start with the Credit Opportunities Primer. Bonds trade in a huge, public market – just like stocks. And just like stocks, bond prices sometimes get wildly disconnected from reality due to investors’ fears and emotions. These overreactions are our bread and butter. And our team is the best in the world at spotting them. Remember: As a bond owner, the typical ups and downs of a company’s performance barely matter to you. When you own a bond, the company owes you money. You don’t own a (tiny) slice of the company and its future profits, like with a stock. You own the legal right to be paid back by any possible means. And on a specific, fixed date. In the case of Chuck E. Cheese, that meant you could have received the full $1,000 “face value” of the bond on February 15, 2022 – even though you only paid $810 for it in the open market . Plus $80 a year in interest – a nearly 10% annual yield at the price we recommended it. The company can’t decide to cut or skip these payments. It’s in the legal contract. All told, by buying the bond you could have set yourself up for gains of 60% in four years – or 15% per year. If you’re consistently doing better than 15%-20% per year on an entire portfolio, congratulations. You’re already in the company of the world’s greatest investors. And you might not need this research. But keep in mind…

It Gets Better…
Even if you are doing that well in stocks, it involves a lot of risk. Just like we saw last spring. The market fell farther, faster than any time in history. And for reasons that no one predicted. Now, with stocks at all-time highs… and speculative euphoria gripping huge parts of the market… a lot of smart folks think another reckoning is all but inevitable – and soon. Watching the wild – and sometimes disastrous – market swings can be painful, to say the least. But with bonds, it’s completely different. A lot of bond investors like Rob tell us they don’t spend that much time managing their portfolios. You don’t need to worry about stock market drama – at all. Because your payments are legally protected. Even in bankruptcy, the company would have to go to court and be ordered to sell off all its assets and property – right down to the floorboards – to pay you back as much as possible. As part of every recommendation, our team analyzes everything the company owns to tell you howmuch you could expect to “recover” – even in the unlikely worst-case scenario . (With stocks, it’s a lot easier because the answer is always “zero.”) Along with myself, the team includes: ` An attorney with decades of experience in corporate law, who reads through hundreds of pages of legal “covenants” connected to each bond recommendation… ` And a former CPA (with 25 years of experience) who’s been a finance VP at a large, publicly traded company, and worked for one of the “Big Four” international audit firms.
