About Us

S&P Downgrades U.S. Debt… Congress Continues to Raise the Debt Ceiling… Oil Dives under $85… Gold Surges Past $1,900… Government Passes Patriot Act extension… US Senators Start Tax Haven Witch-Hunt…

For anyone who’s surfed the Internet, switched on a TV or chatted by the water cooler over the last few months, it’s easy to feel like a plastic bag caught in the middle of a hurricane.

Headlines of doom and gloom whip around us every day, battering us with endless news of the global financial crisis or overreach by the U.S. government. It’s enough to make most people want to hide their heads in the sand. From crashing markets to invasions of privacy, it’s hard to find the silver lining around these dark clouds.

In times of trouble, it’s easy to ask yourself “where do we go from here?” At the Sovereign Investor, we know the answer: We go to the same place we were headed before… to the next opportunity.

Where There’s Crisis, There’s Opportunity

At the Sovereign Investor, our experts have been covering the markets and trading stocks, commodities and currencies for the better part of three decades … and they’ve seen this rodeo before.

What they also know is that while things may seem bad here at home, there is a wider world of opportunity that is often overlooked.

While American markets dry up and U.S. consumers refuse to spend, a new, powerful middle class is rising in emerging markets around the globe. With them grow new demands for food, water, and consumer goods; and with that, new avenues for investment.

As the fortunes of economies rise and fall, so do their currencies, and savvy investors can turn a profit in the currency market even in the most turbulent of times. Even more importantly, our editors know that is important to protect your assets at home from lawsuits and a greedy government that will take any chance it can to squeeze an extra dime from you.

Six days a week, our investment and legal experts will deliver – straight to your inbox – timely and actionable information about opportunities in global stocks, currencies and commodities, as well as the latest strategies to protect your assets from the greedy hands of claimants, creditors and tax collectors.

Whether it’s Jeff Opdyke finding the company that will provide China with clean water in the decades ahead, or Bob Bauman telling you what you really need to know about the IRS’s tax amnesty programs, the Sovereign Investor is your guide to reading past the headlines and seeing where the real opportunities lie to grow and protect your wealth.
