Iacono Research special offer ends today!

This will be the final notice for the special subscription offer from Iacono Research that ends at midnight tonight. Hopefully, this one last chart might compel a few more of you to begin a no-obligation, free trial (during which time you'll still be eligible for the special offer) or to just take the plunge and begin a subscription as many readers have already done.

After all the recent looks at asset allocation and historical performance, here's what the "proxy model portfolio" at the investment website looks like next to the latest offerings from Money Magazine, the nation's most popular personal finance magazine.
However you slice it, the answer comes out pretty much the same - stocks are a loser in this decade and natural resources are the clear winner. Conventional wisdom, particularly the kind you read in Money Magazine, has been wrong for many years.

See the following for details on the four data sets shown in the chart:

• The losses of a Money Magazine portolio
• Let Money Magazine fix your portfolio?
• Iacono Research: Investment Approach

Once again, here's the offer that ends later today:

Iacono Research - Two Year Special at $99/year

Remember that anyone signing up for a FREE 30-DAY TRIAL by midnight tonight will be eligible for the special rate for the duration of their free trial period (only one free trial per person, please).

The service comes with a 60-day money back guarantee with no questions asked, which, when combined with a free trial over a 30-day period means that you can have a risk-free look for up to 90 days.
