Altucher’s Top 1% Advisory Newsletter April 2016

 

Hi. My name is James Altucher.

I don’t live in Silicon Valley…

And I don’t have a degree in business…

But back in 2006, I invested $2,000 into a startup… one of the tiniest in America. The company had zero revenue and I was the only employee.

Nine months later, I sold it for $10 million.

At a glance – you might think I just got lucky. But the incredible thing is, I’ve done this over and over again in my life… on some of the best ventures in America. And right now, for the first time, I’d like to share my secret with you.

Like how I made a 6,000% return investing in a social media startup called Buddy Media…

Or how I’m currently up 2,900% on a startup called Ticketfly.

I don’t consider myself a typical “venture capitalist”…

But I love venture investing – and it’s something I definitely have a knack for… putting money into the kind of breakthrough ideas and trends that sweep society, making early investors a fortune…

• Take Uber, for example… the taxi service.

If you’d managed to get a $10,000 stake in this startup when it first began, it’d be worth over $45 million by now… 4,500 times your investment.

• Or consider Airbnb… the online hotel service…

An early $10,000 stake in this startup would likely be worth around $70 million by now… 7,000 times your initial investment.

But here’s the thing…

These opportunities are typically off limits to regular investors.

For one thing – the government’s Rule 501 of Regulation D won’t even let you invest in startups unless you’re worth at least $1 million… or your income has been $200,000 or more for two years.

And for another thing, unless you know the right people, you’ll never hear about the best startups until it’s way too late.

Frankly, I don’t think that’s fair.

The government created this rule to supposedly “protect” individual investors… but the reality is, all it’s done is made sure that only Wall Street bankers and venture capitalists get the biggest gains.

That’s why over the past twenty years – I’ve developed my own unique way of making money in the investment world. You won’t find my approach in any textbook… on any websites… or discussed at any conferences.

But that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been successful…

For example – I once made a private investment in a cloud computing firm… one of the hottest ideas in Silicon Valley at the time…

Normally, the only way to buy into a startup like this is if you happen to know the CEO… or you work there as a programmer.

But I got in from my kitchen table and I’m currently sitting on a 1,200% return.

Or consider this…

A few years ago, I bought a stake in a home business that sold rent-to-own laptops over the Internet…

At the time, the company had zero revenue and only 1 employee.

But I got in with a single investment… buying 5% of the company from my kitchen table. Today it brings in $300,000 a month.

When I tell people my secret approach to investing in these types of enterprises, they usually don’t believe me.

But for me personally, it’s created dozens of opportunities in my life. For example, I’ve been hired to run a $33 million hedge fund… a $125 million venture capital firm… I’ve sat on the board of a $600 million company… written for the Wall Street Journal… the Financial Times… Yahoo Finance… and appeared on CNBC, MSNBC, and Fox.

Plus I’ve written fifteen books – including one that USA Today calls “one of the 12 best business books of all time.”

Along the way – I’ve been approached thousands of times by hedge funds… Wall Street bankers… entrepreneurs… you name it.

They all want to know the same thing:

How has a guy like me with no MBA… no formal investing education… and no office in Silicon Valley managed to make millions of dollars in some of the best opportunities of the past two decades?

Well, that’s why I’ve partnered with one of the largest independent financial research firms in the country, Stansberry Research. And I’m going to show you exactly what I’m doing, and why it could make you $1,000s a month.

In short, what you’re about to see is one of the biggest financial secrets in America.

It requires no meetings in Silicon Valley… no phone calls… no e-mails.

All you need is a computer and an Internet connection. It doesn’t matter what your age or education – or how much money you have. You can use this secret from your kitchen table in about 15 minutes a week.

I’ve probably tried as many investment strategies as anyone else in the world… and this is far and away the best approach I’ve come across.

Let me give you the full story…
