Asian Tigers Are Chewing up Massive Amounts of Uranium, Copper, Silicon and Cement and Spitting out Cheap Goods and Services Around the Globe...

Join us for the 8^th Annual 2007 Agora Financial Investment Symposium at the luxurious Fairmont Hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia, July 24-27.

This year's theme is more powerful than ever. It's called Rim of Fire: Crisis & Opportunity in the New Asian Era, and it's your opportunity to hear winning investment strategies from some of the finest financial minds at one of the greatest investment events in the world.

The case for a coming slowdown in the United States grows stronger every day. The housing bubble is on the verge of collapse... consumer credit is stretched to the breaking point... high gas prices are about to bring spending to its knees.

That's not the case in Asia, however. Last year, developing Asian economies jumped 8.3% - more than double America's puny growth. The Asian Development Bank expects a 7.6% jump this year... and 7.7% in 2008 - still outstripping the United States by a wide margin.

To many people, those are just some abstract percentage points practically meaningless results from a calculator. But smart investors know there's much more to it than that.

It's a full-blown revolution... signaling a shift in the way the world does business.

It starts with the source of all that growth... a ready supply of cheap labor that lets Asian factories flood the world with inexpensive manufactured goods. Since 1990, the amount of goods coming from Asia to the United States has soared from $400 billion to $548 billion... a 36% jump. Meanwhile, we've only sent $26 billion in return... and have lost 3.1 million manufacturing jobs, to boot.

But while Asians may work cheaper than Americans, they consider themselves well paid. In fact, according to the World Bank, - About 150 million people [in South Asia] have been lifted out of poverty in the last 10-15 years.

That means 150 million people no longer have to worry about the bare necessities... and can start striving for the good things in life.

Now, here's where things get VERY interesting. See, making cheap goods takes more than just a willing work force. You also need raw materials to keep the factories running. Meanwhile, the workers are able to afford things we've long taken for granted good food, better living conditions, dependable power. But those things also require natural resources.

And that's where you'll find your chance to make 58%... 107%... even 147% gains seem like pocket change...

If you've been to one of our conferences before, you know we spare no expense to bring you some of the best speakers on the planet.

In 2006, our theme was "Investing in the Age of Empire" - a look at how America's economy was shifting... and the best way to play it. Our impressive roster of speakers included the likes of Bill Bonner... Mark Skousen... Dennis Gartman... Doug Casey... and even a keynote address from Steve Forbes.

As attendee P.E. put it, "You can't get much better than this... To see Bill Bonner, the Mogambo, Doug Casey, etc., live was worth the long voyage (and the money)."

But as always, the focus was on our specific recommendations and strategies. Conference-goers learned about opportunities soared 54%... 107%... and even 147% just six months later.

This year promises to be no different. Join us in Vancouver and you'll get to hear fresh ideas from:

BILL BONNER
As the president and founder of Agora Inc., Bill Bonner is well known for speaking his mind. His Daily Reckoning goes out to over 550,000 subscribers each day. And the two books he's co-authored, Financial Reckoning Day and Empire of Debt, have both landed on the New York Times best-seller list. Plus, he'll be discussing themes from his new book, Mobs, Messiahs and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics.

Mr. Bonner brings a unique perspective to the Symposium - since he's been observing development in the United States from his home in France.

Discover exactly what you've given up over the past few decades - often without you knowing it and always without your permission. You'll also learn the specific steps you can take to get it back!

JAMES HOWARD KUNSTLER
Author of The Long Emergency, The Geography of Nowhere, Home From Nowhere (Simon & Schuster), and The City in Mind (Free Press), James Kunstler has lectured at Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Dartmouth, Cornell, MIT, and many other colleges, and has appeared before many professional organizations such as the AIA, ASLA, the APA., and the National Trust for Historic Preservation

His latest book, The Long Emergency, published by the Atlantic Monthly Press in 2005, describes the critical problems faced by industrial societies in the waning of the petroleum age. An excerpt ran in Rolling Stone Magazine.

Mr. Kunstler is also the author if nine previous novels including The Halloween Ball, An Embarrassment of Riches, and Maggie Darling. He has been a regular contributor to the New York Times Sunday Magazine and Op-Ed page, where he has written on environmental and economic issues.

Even this impressive bio doesn't do Mr. Kunstler justice. Join us in Vancouver and hear what he has to say.

If you ever wanted to sit in the same room as Bill Bonner, Doug Casey, Chris Mayer, Kevin Kerr, Steve Sjuggerud, Matt Badiali, Dan Denning, the Mogambo Guru (in person) and many more engaging, top-notch speakers, this is your chance.

The Agora Financial Investment Symposium is a meeting of the minds- including speakers from four countries and attendees from 22 countries. It's a rare chance to merge together to explore and discover the best investment opportunities on the planet.

We've traveled to Asia and experienced it with our own eyes. In Vancouver, we will bring Asia to you, if you accept this invitation. This event is quickly becoming one of the world's most successful investment conferences. In fact, last year saw our best attendance ever-and generated chances to enjoy gains of 58%... 107%... and even 147% just six months later.

The 8th Annual Agora Financial Investment Symposium, Rim of Fire: Crisis & Opportunity in the New Asian Era, promises to be better than ever. And I personally stand behind that claim. In just four days, our assembled team of experts will share its answers to today's biggest questions and alert you to the hottest opportunities of our time...

You see, Asia is rushing to keep up with its growing population of wealthy workers. One of the top priorities is providing places for its people to live and work. In China and Hong Kong, 626 skyscrapers are set to go up in 2007. Japan has proposals to build 309 behemoth structures in the coming months. Thailand is set to build 78 high-rises. India is already slated to build 72. In all, the 11 largest countries in Southeast Asia combined are in the process of building 1,322 skyscrapers.

In fact, Bloomberg reported that growing Asian countries have "led to global shortages and record prices for raw materials from iron ore to copper." That means companies with dependable mineral supplies will benefit for a long time to come... and if you get in on the right companies now, you can come along for the ride.

The trick, of course, is to figure out which companies are in the best position to profit. There are a lot of factors at work... far too many for one person to cover.

"Everything was super...
best conference I have ever
been to, and I have been a
broker for 46 years."

- D.S.

It's why the theme of our 2007 Agora Financial Investment Symposium is Rim of Fire: Crisis & Opportunity in the New Asian Era. Our experts will explore this immense story from EVERY angle, sharing insights and strategies you may have never considered... and common-sense plays you may have overlooked. And they'll offer specific recommendations that could easily soar 147% or more.

For instance, more and more cotton is going into Asia. In fact, the most recent data show that its cotton consumption was more than double its production - meaning several countries had to depend on foreign suppliers. Follow the money and you could set yourself up for a sweet payday.

Then there's food. The Chinese alone are set to gobble up 34 million tonnes of corn this year - up nearly 25% from last year. If the trend continues, the country might become a net importer of corn by 2010. Where will that corn come from? And how will ethanol production affect the dynamic? The answers may surprise you... and prove to be the most useful information you've ever heard.

And don't forget about oil. Asia's consumption has grown an average of 15% a year for the past five years. By 2015, the continent could account for one-fourth of all demand. In fact, last year - for the first time ever - Asians consumed more oil than North Americans. That's put a tremendous strain on the traditional oil companies - and opened a doorway to smaller outfits and alternative energy.

But only a precious few of these companies have what it takes to make it in the long term. Invest in the wrong one and your money could disappear into a black hole before you know it.

Even if you're not into commodity investing, you should realize that Asia's endless demand for raw materials will affect ALL of your investments. The car company you're holding is competing with Asia for steel. Any bank in your portfolio is facing a weakening dollar against strengthening Asian currencies. Even tech manufacturers have to worry about the price for their components, from gold and silver.

That's why you should join us in Vancouver for a complete list of strategies and solutions. From natural resource investments to overlooked companies helping Asia in less direct ways, you'll get a complete plan of action as the West's economic dominance gives way to the East.

Armed with the knowledge you gather from our select group of experts, you will be far ahead of the average investor...

Americans are slowly waking up to the opportunities being offered. Around the world, however, other countries and regions are already taking action. They know Asia is the hottest ticket going today - promising chances to make fortunes in everything from raw materials to consumer goods.

The United Arab Emirates' minister of economy recently told the Gulf Cooperation Council that Arab countries need to strengthen their ties with Asia. And CNN reports that "The first contracts with major oil firms from Iraq's new government are likely to go not to U.S. companies, but rather to companies from China, India, Vietnam and Indonesia."

The European Union is also on the move, trying to sign free trade deals with several Asian nations. A deal with South Korea could boost its exports to Europe by 36%... while Europe will see its trade go up 47% - and deals with other countries are in the works. And Australia is on the prowl for new free trade agreements, especially with its Asian neighbors.

That spells a lot of cash flooding into Asian coffers. But don't make the mistake of simply following the money. You can't buy just anything Asia-related and wait for the cash to start rolling in. As the World Bank recently warned, "East Asian economies could see growth derailed if they fail to boost investment and cope with widening wealth gaps and pollution."

Morgan Stanley's Stephen Roach offered an even starker warning: "With growth prospects in China and India tipping to the downside at the same time the U.S. economy is slowing, the global economy is likely to be a good deal weaker than the decoupling crowd would lead you to believe."

With so much opportunity paired with so much peril, you need the insights Rim of Fire: Crisis & Opportunity in the New Asian Era will provide. That's why it is so important that you attend this powerful event- you'll also hear from luminaries such as...

DR. MARK SKOUSEN
Known as the "maverick" of economics for his contrarian and optimistic views, and his sometimes-outrageous statements and predictions, Mark Skousen is a college professor, prolific author and world-renowned speaker. He's made his unique sense of market and investment trends known and respected in the financial world. With a Ph.D. in economics and a focus on the principles of free-market capitalism and "Austrian" economics, Mark Skousen has often gone contrary to the crowd in his investment choices and economic predictions -- and has often been proved right.

Mark Skousen has built a reputation for not only accurately identifying the right economic and political trends, but also the right investments for the times.

An almost idealistic proponent of liberty and political freedom, Mark Skousen is actively involved in some of the most prestigious free-market and liberty think tanks in the world. He frequently speaks and writes articles for organizations such as the Cato Institute, the Foundation for Economic Education, the Libertarian Party, the Council for National Policy and the Mt. Pelerin Society.

CHRIS MAYER has delighted readers of his Capital & Crisis with wins of 120%, 171%, 156% and more. He's the author of the upcoming book Invest Like A Dealmaker where he shows how C&C capitalizes on critical world events and spins them into opportunity for readers.

Meanwhile, Chris has also racked up some speculative wins in his Mayer's Special Situations - looking at positions that are up 49%... 33%... and even 122% in a matter of months. Make sure you're in Vancouver on July 24-27 to discover the latest gems he's found. No matter how you like to invest, Chris should have something for you.

"MANIAC TRADER" KEVIN KERR's unparalleled expertise in futures and commodities has made him a regular contributor to news outlets like CNN, Fox News, the CBS Evening News, Nightly Business Report and many others. And the author of, The Inside Secrets of One of the World's Most Exclusive Moneymaking Clubs.

But for us, he's best known for his uncanny commodity recommendations in Resource Trader Alert - simple trades that often generate triple-digit gains. In fact, if you had been with us in Vancouver last year, you would have been among the first to hear his strategy for trading orange juice - leading to a play that climbed 355% in under two months for his RTA members.

So you can't afford to miss what he has to tell you about commodities this year!

DR. STEVE SJUGGERUD
Over 20,000 people read Dr. Steve Sjuggerud's True Wealth each month. And it's no surprise why - in his long career, he has worked in the investment world as a stockbroker, the vice president of a $50 million global mutual fund, an international hedge fund manager and the director of several research departments.

As an expert global investment analyst, Dr. Sjuggerud is frequently quoted on WSJ.com and in Barron's. His latest book, Safe Strategies for Financial Freedom, made The New York Times business best-sellers list and was a top seller on Amazon.com in the business and investing category. He is also a member of the Oxford Club advisory panel.

Don't miss your chance to discover what's really going on in the investment world today... and the best countries to put your money into now.

If last year is any indication, you'll be very surprised, entertained and educated by what our speakers have to say.

From Doug Casey's caustic look at the dangerous resurgence of extreme patriotism and nationalism around the world... to James Howard Kunstler's jaw-dropping take on the greatest squandered assets in the history of the world in America since World War II...

People are still talking about what they have to say. It's no wonder that this event is quickly becoming one of the world's most successful investment conferences. And of course, your favorite Agora Financial editors will be there, too!

No other investment event offers such a diverse wealth of ideas. You'll not only get the latest thoughts on your favorite investments, but you'll also be introduced to ideas you may have never considered. Some of the specific recommendations we offered last year went on to score gains of 147% and more...

But if you want to be there for all the excitement, you need to hurry. Because it sounds like many of last year's attendees will be back. Just listen to what they have to say...

"Tremendous itinerary,
which was... very disciplined,
and, therefore, a tremendous
value."

- R.W.

"Everything was super... best conference I have ever been to, and I have been a broker for 46 years." - D.S.

Rim of Fire: Crisis & Opportunity in the New Asian Era will almost be like basic training for global investing. You'll get a complete perspective on how a rare confluence of politics, business and the age-old forces of supply and demand could make Asia the profit opportunity of a lifetime. And by the time you leave, you'll be armed with an array of strategies and specific actions you can take to start grabbing some of those profits for yourself.

"Enjoyed the flow of information outside of stock info, such as demographics, history, politics, world situations, from many diverse points of view."

- E.B.

To help make this information as beneficial as possible, we've broken the symposium into parts. In the morning, we'll have a general session. We'll meet as a group, with featured speakers offering their worldviews and strategies. Keynote speakers will brief you on the latest news... while top analysts will cover the hottest industries and sectors.

It's the perfect foundation for the afternoon... and our very popular breakout sessions.

You'll have your choice of several small-group meetings designed to give you more intimate access to our diverse panel of experts. It's your chance to discover specific strategies and recommendations that just can't be shared with the entire group. Traditionally, these are the source of our best recommendations... in fact, our 147% winner was suggested right here!

But that's not all... your ticket to the symposium also entitles you to several special events and perks:

During the breaks, you'll also have a chance to chat with over 60 vendors and institutions we've invited just for this conference. Make sure to stop by each booth - on top of giveaways, they'll have plenty of information that can help you make better investment decisions. You may never have this kind of access again, so don't pass it up!

We're going to have a lot of fun. But keep your pen and pad ready, because from the very first speaker, we'll throw out as much information as you can possibly handle. And by the time you leave, you'll be armed with an array of strategies and recommendations to play the new Asian era - the kinds of ideas that could pay off for a long, long time.

In fact, recommendations generated during the 2006 symposium are still showing exceptional gains:

It may sound overwhelming... but don't worry. Agora Financial knows that there's much more to life than making money. And there's nothing more important than living life to its fullest. That's why we've scheduled plenty of "downtime" into the symposium...

As I said, you'll be in the top-rated Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. Your luxurious room offers state-of-the-art amenities as well as breathtaking views of the city and the Canadian mountains. This distinctive building also offers fine shopping, a fabulous restaurant, a full-service spa and a top-notch health club.

But I don't think you'll be spending a lot of time in the hotel. Summer in Vancouver is unlike anywhere else. In fact, last year, several Canadian locals complained about the July heat wave they were having... as the temperature "soared" to 85 degrees. (I don't know about you, but coming from the triple-digit temperatures in Baltimore, 85 was a relief!)

You'll be surprised by the number of parks and water fountains dotting the urban landscape... you're never more than a block away from a shady place to sit down and rest.

And this year, we're offering something even more special - special day-trip events just for your companion. That means you'll both have opportunities to enjoy everything Vancouver has to offer:

If you've never been to Vancouver, you're truly missing out. Believe me, no restaurant in America can top some of the wonders that await you north of the border. You can enjoy some of Canada's finest seafood at The Cannery, a rustic restaurant tucked inside Vancouver's restricted commercial port. And for a good steak, I suggest visiting Joe Fortes - just a few blocks from the Fairmont.

Summer in Vancouver also means the Celebration of Lights - the largest fireworks competition in the world. Every Wednesday and Saturday, a different nation takes a turn lighting up the Vancouver sky with its best work. During your stay, it will be Spain's turn at bat - trying to outdo the elaborate displays from China and Canada. With national pride on the line, you better believe the Spanish are bringing their A game.

Put it all together, and you couldn't ask for a better combination of learning and play. You can spend your evenings out on the town - after spending the day discovering new ways to pay for your fun.

And I haven't even told you the price. Your ticket into the 2007 Agora Financial Investment Symposium - including the seminars, breakout sessions, take-home materials, coffee breaks, continental breakfast, sponsored lunches and even our welcome cocktail party - is just $849 a person! (You may even be eligible for more discounts... keep reading for details.)

For your convenience, you can stay right at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. We've negotiated a discounted room fee just for symposium guests. There are a limited number of rooms, though - which is another reason you don't want to wait.

ATTENTION:
Agora Financial Reserve Members

As always, you are eligible to attend the Agora Financial Investment Symposium for FREE. You will also have exclusive access to Reserve Member-only benefits: ***A fabulous Agora Financial Reserve Members-only evening on the beautiful English Bay, where we'll cruise on a stylish yacht around Stanley Park. We'll set sail just before the Festival of Lights - Vancouver's world-famous fireworks competition. You won't want to miss out. Please call (800) 926-6575 to reserve your space today.

***A "sneak peek" at the documentary film we're making, featuring Warren Buffett, U.S. Comptroller General David Walker, former Secretary of the Treasury Paul O'Neill, Citigroup Chair Robert Rubin, Blackstone Chair Pete Peterson, Steve Forbes and other special guests

***A special VIP registration area, where you can meet and mingle with other Reserve Members.

*** And a chance to win a beautifully framed commemerative set of Gold Standard coins... minted in 1913, the last year of the Gold Standard.

But space is very limited for the special events, so we ask that you register as soon as possible. Registration is first come, first served. Please call (800) 926-6575 to let us know you're coming! Unfortunately, we must impose a $200 cancellation/no-show fee if you cancel after July 10.

If you're still on the fence, please remember that time is of the essence here. Last year's Symposium was filled to capacity. And there's a firm limit on the numbers of attendees we can allow in.

Put this off and we may be forced to tell you we're sold out. And believe me, "sold out" are two words you don't want to hear. Because then you'll be on our waiting list - hoping someone decides not to join us in Vancouver. Considering the fun to be had and the potential profits to be made, I'm not expecting too many people to drop out.

Luckily, signing up for the conference couldn't be simpler. Just?call1-800-926-6575, answer a few simple questions and you're good to go!

P.S. I cannot stress enough how quickly we expect the 2007 Agora Financial Investment to sell out. I don't want to leave you behind.

Last year, you had a chance to enjoy the luxury of one of the world's most beautiful cities - and to discover opportunities that went on to soar 58%... 107%... and even 147% just six months later.

As one attendee told us, "Everything was super... best conference I have ever been to, and I have been a broker for 46 years."

I guarantee you'll want to hear what our experts have to say. But if you're interested in attending, I urge you to hurry. This event is certain to sell out as quickly as it did last year, so this could be your only invitation.

Online registration is now closed. Please call (800) 926 6575 for details on how you can attend the 2007 Agora Financial Investment Symposium.
