While close to 70% of the public has sworn off investing in stocks, contrarians are riding stocks to record highs. My job is to show you how to beat Wall Street at its own game...and it's really not hard when you know the game better than they do.

The question you need to ask yourself is; "will I be able to retire if I choose NOT to invest in stocks?"

From February 12, 2014 to today (2/18/15), the VRA has produced total gains of +1234% (net of losses).  This means that an investment of $10,000 would be worth roughly $123,400…in one years time…had you followed the VRA’s Buy and Sell Recommendations.

And yes, this makes the VRA the #1 Investment Newsletter in the country.

As good as this number may be…it’s also the past. And I know what you know…all that matters from this point on are the profits that we make in the future.

Will Greece and Lehman Brothers Share the Same Fate??

As I tweeted (@kherriage) last week, letting Greece leave the eurozone would be like the FED allowing Lehman Brothers to go bankrupt in September, 2008...oh wait...that actually happened (and we know the economic carnage that followed).

While recognizing that anything is possible, I've been on record for the last couple of years as saying that there is little to no chance that Greece will leave the eurozone...or what is being widely referred to as a "Grexit" (Greek exit).

I can list lots of incredibly important reasons why this could become a black swan event…like: Portugal would be the next country to leave (followed by Italy and Spain)...or the nightmare reality of a $350 billion Greek sovereign debt default (80% owned by other European banks), and yes, the memory of the global panic that followed Lehman's bankruptcy.

But there is one primary reason why Greece will remain one of 19 European members that commonly use one curr...

1234% in Profits – How VRA Subscribers Turned $10,000 into $123,400 – In 12 Months

I've seen it all in my 30 years in the investment industry. And what I know today...February 15, 2015...is that the vast majority of stock market investors are sick and tied of watching the Elite 1% run their scams and schemes.

From rampant insider trading, to taxpayer funded bailouts of the EXACT criminals that caused the financial crisis in the first place, to a rigged investment environment that forces most investors into mutual funds...mutual funds that "may" return 5-10% in a  good year. The bottom line is that most investors want nothing to do with Wall Street...and for good reason.

That's why, in 2003, I started the Vertical Research Advisory. For 12 years I have been a proud "equal opportunity offender"...showing my valued Subscribers exactly how the game has been rigged against them, and then showing them exactly what they can do to even the playing field

VRA Global Economic and Investment Call, Hosted by Kip Herriage

Thursday Night (2/5/15) @ 9PM EST!

Conference Line: (712) 775-7085
Access Code: 876826#

What’s the difference between the smart money 1%, versus the 99%...aka, the average person, struggling just to get by?

Access to THE TRUTH…and the Opportunity to Profit From it.

Everywhere you look, uncertainty is prevalent. Global geopolitical risks, fears of terrorism, a record 93 million people out of the Labor Force (just in the US), and a world awash in debt and economic turmoil.

For the inside story on what's really happening in the global economy, how it affects you and your investments and what to do about it, do “whatever it takes” to be on Thursday nights Global Economic and Investment Call with Kip Herriage.

As Publisher/Editor of the acclaimed VRA (Vertical Research Advisory) investment newsletter (vraletter.com), Kip has been in the business of telling the hard truth for over a decade. His 30 years of experience an...

The ECB just announced their own version of US style QE, and the news is big….USD $1.4 trillion in QE between now and September 2016.

As I’ve been predicting, “the ECB will surpass $1 trillion in QE before all is said and done”…and low and behold, they went big right out of the gate.

You know what this means, yes? Like the US FED, it is now a near certainty that the ECB’s QE program will surpass $2 trillion by the end of 2016…because once central banks start down this path, they ALWAYS play “go big or go home”.

Folks….central banks don’t like to lose…especially in today’s “I’m gonna get mine…hyper politically motivated banking world”. As I’ve been saying, this news will be big for stocks globally and it will drive stocks higher in the US as well.

Also, and its broken record time again, this news is INCREDIBLY bullish for precious metals and the miners…oil of course as well. Gold is trading through $1300/oz and silver is up even more…last trade now at $18.35.

With the world soon ...

Before we get to this most important Ebola update, let's take a quick look at exactly what the VRA predicted 3 weeks ago (Sept. 19th), as the VRA was the ONLY Wall Street expert or Investment Newsletter to call the EXACT top in the stock market…and did so within 5 minutes of the all-time high.

**Sept. 19, 2014

"First, Alibaba (BABA) just opened, and is currently trading at $93/share....but it reached almost $100 right after the open. Just stunning....

I believe this marks a significant top in the overall market....right here right now. The Russell 2000 is getting hit hard, while the overall market holds on to slim gains. Make sure you own SRTY (3 x bearish ETF for Russell 2000)....the breakdown in the broader market does not look healthy. Have you seen housing stocks....the chart looks as poor as it gets....big rounding top. Same thing throughout the mid-cap to small-cap market....this tells us that the smart money is heading for the exits. It's time to be a contrarian folks....it...

This weeks reversal higher in the markets came on the heels of even more money printing news out of China. I cover this in more depth later in this update as well, but here’s the gist of it; The Central Bank of China (PBOC) announced another newer and even better round of quantitative easing (QE), this time in the amount of CHY 500 billion (roughly USD $84 billion). These freshly printed digits are being deposited in the 5 largest Chinese banks, in equal amounts, which they say will “encourage Chinese banks to lend more money“.  Let’s hope so…their stock market just had its worst day in over 6 months and the economic news out of China has been dismal at best.

When we look at the global economy over the past 6 years, following the onset of financial collapse in 2008, it is absolutely stunning how large a role China has played. They have consistently purchased at least 50% of the world’s most important commodities (iron ore, grain, cotton, oil, gold, etc). These figures are mind blowi...

It’s an incredibly special time in the US and niche-specific parts of the globe.

That is, IF you are among the 1% that is closely connected to major money center banks, investment houses, and/or governments around the world. The “money cartels” control literally 90% of all paper money in circulation, and unfortunately, carry that “Master of the Universe” over-sized, unchecked ego’s to go with it. They also have full access to top leaders in government, illegall inside information, high speed trading tech, and some of the most toxic derivatives ever invented, which then allows these corrupted 1% moneymen to make money off of US on a daily...nearly 100% of the time effective basis as well.

What’s that old saying? “Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely”….yep.

Stock markets are at or approaching all time highs, the job market is supposedly getting better (as long as you enjoy part time/minimum wage incomes), and speed of light increases in new technology…in o...

Hi Kip, Thanks for the recommendations!  I only had a little in my account - about $45.  I started with the VIX trade and made enough there to upgrade to your gold mining rec. It has turned into more than a thousand dollars right now. Yea!  You are my hero! KK

Kip, I was skeptical, as other newsletters have burned me in the past. I came in and used puts on the S&P and made more money in just 3 months than I‘ve ever made in investing. That’s over 40 years by the way. I’m 7 for 8 with you so far and about to buy that Tesla you write about with my gains. Just really glad I got your email.  MP

 Mr. Herriage, You weren’t kidding when you said you felt confident about where the market was going. I made over 300% in less than 2 months. Not sure how you do this but I have worked with these so-called guru’s on wall st. and they don’t come close to your results.  Thank you, thank you!   LT

WHETHER OR NOT you subscribe and become a member of the VRA, I only ask that you pay attention to ...
