Plus, How to Play the Only True “Recession-Proof” Market for Profits As High as 300.7%
By Erika Nolan So much for “recession-proof investments”…
Since mid-2007, U.S. Treasuries have fallen 60% (5-Year).
The hedge funds that supposedly protect your money have plummeted 29%. In fact, the hedge fund industry as a whole has lost US$500 BILLION this year.
Old world blue-chip stocks like Apple and Coca-Cola have plunged as much as 47% in the last year.
Certificates of deposits - considered the “stable-Mable” of the investment world - are down a shocking 54% this year.
Nothing Is Safe When Even Bonds Tank -
Or Is It?

As you can see, the so-called “recession-proof” investments have gotten absolutely murdered this year.
In fact, if you look at Wikipedia, you’ll notice that “recession-proof” industries are no longer listed at all.
There’s an entry for it, but no article. That means the writer deleted it, because he (or she) realized the error in calling any industry “recession-proof” anymore.
Interesting times right?
But through it all, one market has broken all the rules this year…
Introducing the 2008-Tested “Recession-Proof” Market
There’s only one market this year that has consistently posted returns throughout this credit crunch. And no, I’m not talking about some obscure market in Africa.
I’m talking about the currency market.
As the world’s markets have literally come unraveled this year, certain currencies have continued to rise while the S&P 500 tricked investors with half a dozen false rallies, and the Dow dropped more than 10% in a day more times than we care to count.
Currencies and the Law of Relativity
We live in a world made up entirely of fiat currencies. “Fiat” means “an arbitrary order or decree.” In other words, our money doesn’t derive its value from a particular good or basket of goods, but from the government decree that brings it into law.
So the value of these currencies isn’t fixed. Instead, it tends to fluctuate and vary, depending on everything from interest rates and policy decisions to exports and civil unrest. So if you want to know what a currency is worth at any given time, you just have to ask yourself “What could it buy?”
A soda, a half-gallon of gas, a big Mac etc. And we do the same thing when comparing currencies. A particular currency can only buy so many yen, so many Swiss francs etc.
So it stands to reason that if a currency’s exchange rate is falling, then another’s is rising. That’s the law of relativity when it comes to currencies. If the dollar’s exchange rate against the yen is declining, then you can buy less and less yen with your dollar. But at the same time, you’re able to buy more and more dollars with your yen.
This is where the idea of an eternal bull market comes from.
Capital Flows (Where the money goes…)
But honestly, that’s only part of it. The other reason there is always at least one currency rising is because of capital flows. As a currency trader, you’re constantly watching where capital is flowing, so you know where traders are dumping their money.
Every time markets suffer around the world, there’s always a line of investors ready to sell-off their positions.
Each time, those investment funds have to go somewhere. Even if that’s just back to cash – which pushes a handful of currencies higher. That’s exactly what happened in 2008. As investors ran from stocks, bonds and even hedge funds, certain currencies rose.
However, not all currencies (or markets) are created equal.
“This Currency “Sub-Niche” Can Provide Peace-Of-Mind Despite Today’s Economic Holocaust!”
This currency “sub-niche” is the Forex equivalent to finding diamonds in your very own backyard. Possibly the most easily accessed currency market on earth – yet – it only trades about US$308 million per day.
This trading volume is meager by comparison to the major exchanges.
And yet, despite its size – representing less than .0001% of the entire Forex market – this tiny “sub-niche” has been a savior to many during these rough economic times.
James Malinchak, a 51 year old chiropractor from New Jersey was recently quoted saying: “I watch CNBC for input on the massacre and think – that was my fate. When I first discovered this tiny “sub-niche” I was down US$2,600. Today I am at US$21,800 giving me a turn around of US$24,400.”
Bill VanNostran, a pastor from Vancouver, BC. reports having harvested over US$31,000 from this tiny market in just a little over 90 days.
Sally Rosenfeld says “I’ve invested US$12,678 which has returned US$12,097 for a 95% return on my investment. I don’t know when I’ve had so much fun!”
Incredibly, These Are Not Isolated Incidences.
This might sound unusual, but to help inspire and encourage the fledgling masses trying (and struggling) to make a dime in this market – this group of “sub-niche” pioneers have assembled over 20 pages of success stories to prove what they’re doing REALLY works and can be achieved by others.
Here you can see this document with your own two eyes.
If you’re frustrated by the type of gains you’re currently making or believe you could be doing even better than you are right now – it may be worth your time to investigate this “recession proof” market further.
There’s no reason you MUST endure the struggles like everyone else. In fact, I believe it was Earl Nightingale that said, and I’m paraphrasing “…If you truly want to be successful, simply look at what everyone else is doing, and do the opposite!”
Unfortunately, following the unwashed masses will lead you to life filled with mediocrity. The pioneers spotlighted above have no special characteristics or attributes you don’t – but they made it a point to FIND a better way, and took action once they discovered it.
