Eighteen months and another $99 special

From time to time it is necessary to remind readers about the Iacono Research investment website that accompanies this blog - today is one of those days. For those of you who don't already know, I've been writing an investment newsletter for a year and a half now and things have gone pretty well as you can see below.
Since the model portfolio was formalized early last year, prior to the launch of the investment website in May, it has gained a total of 64 percent - 25 percent during 2006 and 31 percent for 2007, as of yesterday's close.

And one of the best parts about the investment approach, aside from the emphasis on natural resources, is the unique asset allocation - less than half of the model portfolio is in equities. This can be particularly important on days like today with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down more than 250 points as this is written.

In recognition of the eighteen month anniversary of the website launch and as an acknowledgment that I plan to do this for many years to come, the following special offer is being made available for a limited time only:

Two Year Subscription - Only $99 per Year

The regular pricing is $129 per year, $229 for two years, or $12 per month and this special offer expires two weeks from today on November 21st. Those starting a free trial between now and November 21st, as well as those currently on free trials, will have this special rate extended to them until their free trials expire.

Since there is a 60-day money back guarantee with every one or two year subscription, you can get up to a 90-day risk-free look at this service to decide whether or not it is for you - I personally think that anyone who does not have exposure to hard assets today is doing themselves a big disservice.

There is a good deal of help for those new to investing in natural resources including a "starter" model portfolio containing only nine positions - all ETFs or mutual funds - that is up almost 27 percent so far in 2007.

Please feel free to have a look around the public areas of the website or send me mail with any questions or comments.
