Few are aware of the true scope of the situation. Fewer are aware of the profit potential that lies ahead...
It's time to cast your attention to the places where money can still be made... even as this new era of scarcity and volatility has gripped the global economy.
This summer, in one of the world's most spectacular cities, you can find out how to make this the most profitable era of all time...
Join us for the 2008 Agora Financial Investment Symposium at the magnificent Fairmont Hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia July 22-25th.
Our theme this year: A View From the Peak: Seeking Profits in a Time of Risk and Scarcity.
But what does it mean for you?
Gasoline is predicted to hit $4 per gallon in the U.S. this spring, creating another high gas price frenzy.
We're even witnessing sky-high prices in food. Everywhere you look, health care, insurance and the products we all use in our daily lives are all going up.
As reality sinks in, some financial sectors will fall into a recession...while other sectors will experience a boom. And that's where you'll have your opportunity to make double and triple digit gains. 
Join us as our selection of brilliant analysts and global economists shows you how to make tremendous gains and protect your financial future -- even in the age of risk and scarcity.
We'll also explore new investment opportunities with gold, natural resources, commodities, infrastructure companies and alternative energies, as well as value investing strategies, options trading plays and more. Plus, you'll get specific details from leading experts on how to translate today's economic events into profits.
And this information couldn't come at a better time.
There Is Always Money to Be Made...
in Any Market...in Any Era
You Just Have to Know Where to Look
According to The Washington Post, readers have a very pessimistic view of the American economy. In a recent poll...
All of these are creating unique investment opportunities for informed investors...
In every single case in which scarcity is rearing its head around the world...there is a way to profit from the situation as well. Those investors who are savvy enough to find these opportunities...and brave enough to take them...will be the ones who come out on top in this recessed economy...
This is why it is so critical -- this year of all years -- to join us in Vancouver. You simply cannot afford to miss out.
Our speakers are some of the top experts -- on subjects ranging from U.S. and global stock markets to China to commodities... macroeconomics and the impact the U.S. debt is having on the world economy...
We've invited economists, traders, politicians, presidential candidates, authors, entrepreneurs, and analysts of all stripes to come to share their views on building wealth and security during this "time of risk and scarcity."
If you've been to our past symposiums, you know that each year, we bring you the word's leading financial and economic experts.
If you decide to join us this year, you'll hear from legendary investment icon Jim Rogers, President and Founder of Agora Inc. and best-selling author Bill Bonner, Rick Rule of Global Resource Investments Ltd. and Doug Casey of Casey Research.
Best-selling author James Howard Kunstler will spotlight the harsh reality of the dangerous American economic situation... and how to survive this tumultuous time. If you saw him speak last year, you know he is not to be missed.
You'll get more promising investment ideas from Frank Holmes, who will show you the best way to maximize profits in resource-based industries and emerging markets...
Thomas Rooney will share his exciting ideas on the "clean tech revolution" and how to position yourself to profit from what some are calling the greatest economic and technological shift in human history.
And you'll hear from Bud Conrad, also of Casey Research, who will provide a 30,000-foot view of the economy, the latest trends, the credit crunch and any and all forces that move the market.
Resource Trader Alert's Kevin Kerr will alert you to great investment opportunities in natural resources and commodities. Capital & Crisis' Chris Mayer will explore the scarcity angle and uncover the companies with hidden assets that will benefit from it the most. Byron King of Outstanding Investments and Energy & Scarcity Investor will talk about the future of oil and energy and how to profit from it.
You'll also get fresh ideas from Lucas Lundin, who will bring a unique perspective on global investment opportunities. And Paul van Eeden will spell out timely opportunities in gold and currency markets. We've invited a world-famous Austrian trained investment adviser and fund manager... one former and one current presidential candidate... and more surprise guests.
We haven't confirmed the entire speaker list yet -- but based on the current line-up -- this year's event will be one of the best of its kind.
The Annual Event You've Been Waiting For...
Like-minded attendees and speakers convene once a year for the Agora Financial Investment Symposium. Old-timers and newcomers alike reunite at our world-renowned financial summit.
Join us and you'll get a truely global perspective on how to make profitable investments this year and in years to come. You will walk away with a firm understanding of how to survive and prosper in the age of scarcity.
There are a lot of factors at play... far too many for one person to cover. That's why our unique assembly of attendees and special guests is so significant.
The information at this event is so relevant that many of the guest speakers join the audience to hear what their colleagues are forecasting for 2008 and beyond.
If you were one of the 700 attendees last year, you may have seen keynote speakers like Bill Bonner, Rick Rule, Doug Casey, Frank Holmes, Chris Mayer, Kevin Kerr and Addison Wiggin sitting in the audience among the conference attendees.
Or you may have mingled with best-selling authors, and your favorite investment analysts or linked up with old friends.
Simply put: Nobody can afford to skip this event...
Our experts will explore the scarcity situation from every view, sharing insights and strategies you may have never considered...and common-sense investments you may have overlooked.
A View From the Peak: Seeking Profits in a Time of Risk and Scarcity covers an entire global perspective on investments. You'll get a complete 360-degree perspective on how the ongoing shift in the world economy is presenting the profit opportunity of a lifetime...for the select few willing to look past the headlines.
And there are more special events planned for you this year...
Not only will you get the latest thoughts on your favorite investments, but you'll also be introduced to ideas you may have never considered. Year after year, it happens. The recommendations handed out in the conference alone are worth many times what it costs to attend.
And the year before, recommendations given at the conference generated chances to enjoy gains as high as 35%, 50%, and 60%, to name a few.
We expect nothing less this year...
It is, quite simply, a unique time in history. A make-or-break time for some. And a conference that is designed specifically to get you way out ahead of the curve.
Plus, a few extras to enjoy while you're there...
Be Among the First to See I.O.U.S.A.
 You are invited to an opening night special screening of our much-anticipated documentary film I.O.U.S.A.
Fresh off its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, where it made critics and viewers sit up and take notice, I.O.U.S.A is being hailed as... "...an alternately amusing and alarming primer on America's off-the-charts fiscal irresponsibility."
-- Justin Chang, Variety.com "...may be to the U.S. economy what An Inconvenient Truth was to the environment."
-- Mary Milliken, Reuters.com "I.O.U.S.A. is crucial viewing for anyone who claims to care about America."
-- Brian Brooks, indieWIRE.com I.O.U.S.A. is inspired by The New York Times best-selling book Empire of Debt, co-authored by William Bonner and Addison Wiggin. The alarming truth is America may very well be on the brink of a widespread financial disaster. I.O.U.S.A. alerts Americans to the country's current fiscal situation and suggests actions to take to avoid an even greater crisis. This special showing is not to be missed... I.O.U.S.A. also features interviews with an impressive selection of financial experts -- including former U.S. Comptroller General David Walker, legendary investor Warren Buffett, Paul Volcker, Ron Paul, Robert Rubin, Paul O'Neill and Arthur Laffer. Pointedly topical and consummately nonpartisan, I.O.U.S.A. drives home the message that America needs to wake up now! |

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. By the time you leave, you'll be armed with an array of strategies and recommendations to find ways to profit in the new era of scarcity -- the kinds of ideas that could pay off for a long, long time.
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. You'll want to find a water-side view and enjoy the show.

This Year's Event Is Set to Sell Out

Agora Financial P.S. I cannot stress enough how quickly we expect the 2008 Agora Financial Investment Symposium to sell out. Competition for these seats will be fast and furious. This year's theme is simply too important to miss...Please don't delay!
