Getting To Know Us
Our free news feed (The Wealth Wire) and the paid membership (The Wealth Vault) were created by two full-time successful high-yield investors and passive-income enthusiasts.
But, together with our behind-the-scenes “braintrust” network, we’re a combination of passive-income researchers, alternative-investment investors, and financial journalists who challenge conventional wisdom and refuse to support the status quo.
We eat, sleep, and breathe the quest for finding off-the-beaten-path methods of growing our money. We find what works for us, and we then share it with our WV members.
Simply because we’re obsessed with sharing what we know!
We started out, like so many others, ONLY relying on cash flow and increased income through product sales, recruitment-based programs, and other endeavors that require ‘hands on’ involvement and ongoing time.
So, over ten years ago, we set out on a quest to learn how to use money to MAKE MONEY… growing money through safe, little-known investments that produce high returns, and that seemingly only the very well-connected or elite would have access to.
We knew right out of the investing gate that the crowd (the herd, the masses, or the general public) does the same thing. They search for guarantees, trust in mainstream financial TV outlets, and are content with the measly 5% to 9% annual returns offered by standard Wall Street investment opportunities.
Not us!
Knowing about coveted, “hush-hush” money and wealth-building resources and techniques all starts with grasping that, of course, there has to be a minority of people ‘out there’ doing outstanding things with their money. It’s just math.
So, it reasons to stand that you’ve got to sift out the off-the-beaten-path progressive companies and contacts that will welcome you into their world.
This is where our Wealth Vault, and its team of “investment investigators,” comes in. You can piggyback off our research and Rolodex as we continually “vet” new deals, opportunities, and hands-off automated income streams for you.
Going along with the crowd simply isn’t an option, if you want access to private, anonymous, and completely unique (and legal) ways to make extraordinary amounts of money.
When it comes to how we invest, we’re like free-range chickens. We’re not boxed in and prefer to speculate on a wide variety of uncommon investment vehicles and asset classes including: Obscure ETFs, small cap companies, resource stocks, managed forex, futures & options, sports arbitrage, and other “renegade” type money-growing ideas.
Our intention is to share everything we know about how to make uncommon high returns, with minimized risks, in the world of alternative investing.
And, we continue to offer honest value, legitimate due diligence, and critical commentary about “wealth generation,” “income opportunities,” “investment programs,” etc. while we keep things real and genuine.
We wouldn’t kid ya… we are!
However, we still prefer the term competent speculator.
The Wealth Wire
It’s our FREE front-end news feed…
A “mix” of sifted news and ideas from 3rd-party sources, along with our own brand of fresh, candid, and uncommon research…
Premium research and content is reserved for paid-up Wealth Vault members.
However, when you subscribe to our no-charge Wealth Wire feed, you can still receive hand-picked DAILY-updated financial, investing, and economic news that is usable, unique, and timely.
The Wealth Vault
It’s the private place — a members-only secure online vault — where we deliver and archive our premium research.
The WV is an “investments research” membership club that essentially acts as an ongoing ROLODEX of unique and uncommon investment vehicles, tools, resources, ideas, and contacts the public-at-large is rarely privy to.
We specialize in sifting out and doing due diligence on alternative investments — those that offer higher rewards, higher yields, and higher risks.
We also spend time finding and writing about resources, tools, and contacts that fall under a traditional asset class umbrella… if, and only if, what we come across helps our members gain a significant edge or has proven to provide abnormally positive RESULTS.
To be clear, The Wealth Vault is not a financial newsletter or an advisory service. As full-time investors, we created it as an online “alternative investments” membership club where other like-minded investors could benefit from our research.
This isn’t some “static” product filled with a bunch of outdated information. Instead, our paid-up members get access to an ever-growing listing of vetted and carefully selected institutional-grade investment vehicles (IVs), time-tested money-growing ideas, resources and contacts the public doesn’t know exist.
The best way to get a sense of what we have to offer is to read our Hidden Treasures page, as well as browse our previews of recent premium research.
Before we launched The Wealth Vault, we spent a lot of time researching other publishers, and even purchased subscriptions to many different newsletters in order to study their content.
We quickly discovered that no other publishers were offering anything even remotely similar to what we provide. You won’t get general theory or fluff, but real-world, here’s-what-works and here’s-how-to-profit information for enjoying true and lasting wealth opportunities.
In fact, many of our members join us specifically for our extensive list of managed and facilitated trading accounts featuring the world’s top 1% traders. Many of these seasoned traders are able to consistently produce verified passive returns of 3 – 10% per month.
Here’s the quick run-down of the key features you’ll get as a paid member of The Wealth Vault:
1. Weekly Member Updates — We don’t just list contacts, programs, ideas, and investment vehicles and then leave you on your own. As we’re constantly in the mix of research and testing of new opportunities, we’ll update you on what’s working and what’s not; where to consider making adjustments; and how to best utilize the new information we’re constantly adding and archiving inside The Wealth Vault. Member updates are generally posted at least once per week; however we occasionally post more than one update per week when we have relevant information to report on.
2. Investment Pages — We have two different categorized investment pages:
One is our ALTERNATIVE Investments Page (AIP), listing exclusive, under-the-radar investments that produce high returns (some averaging 3 – 10% gains per month), and that seemingly only the very well-connected or elite are privy to.
The other is our TRADITIONAL Investments Page (TIP), listing a broad range of public, exchange-traded resources, contacts, trading tools and ideas that will give you flexibility and control in self-directing some of your investment capital.
There’s truly something for everyone here. Whether you’re a risk taker looking for bigger, faster gains… or you prefer a safer, more steady approach… we have what you need to manage and multiply money at your own level of comfort and risk.
3. Mailbag Q&As — Our Member Mailbag has proven to be one of the most popular features of our inner-circle club, as members know they can rely on us to answer questions and steer them in the right direction. And if you need help with something, there’s very likely already a similar question asked by another member that we’ve answered and archived.
4. Personal Finance Secrets & Wealth Protection — Your freedoms are constantly under attack in the way of taxes, compromised personal privacy, rigged credit systems, currency controls, and rampant rob-Peter-to-pay-Paul policies.
As big proponents of sovereign / independent living, we give you access to hush-hush information and little-known strategies that’ll help you minimize high taxes and just generally be immune from unjust lawsuits and “parasites” trying to live off your hard work.
Credit, debt, retirement, savings, taxes, asset protection, global banking, international living resources… yup, it’ll all be waiting for you. We offer uncommon, and even “forbidden” information about money and true wealth-building; the things that bankers, brokers, and bureaucrats hope you never learn.
5. Savvy, Well-Connected People Who Know How to Multiply Money — These global investors and lifestyle design enthusiasts know exactly how to beat the system, and you will too, once you’re “in the loop.”
Absolutely. Many of our members are first-time investors that have never been introduced to the kinds of unique and lucrative investment vehicles we’ve exposed them to.
Our membership makes it easy for everyone from the novice to the veteran investor to plug in and learn how to consistently generate above-average returns on their money with a reasonable degree of risk.
In a nutshell, we’re doing all the hard-core, blood-sweat-and-tears-type research work for you so you’ll never have to sit, scratch your head, and wonder — ever again — how to create cash flow and invest money outside what the status quo thinks is possible.
No. We don’t provide individual investment advice, manage money, or act as an investment advisor. We also don’t sell investments.
As financial journalists, we provide investment research only. While we offer our opinions about specific asset classes and other unconventional money-growing ideas, our newsletters, reports, and other research services are strictly for informational purposes and should never be interpreted as personal investment advice.
Furthermore, we don’t provide any legal or tax advice. One should always consult a CPA or tax adviser in regards to implementing any of our research.
Because of the diverse selection of traditional and alternative investment vehicles we have available, we’re able to accommodate a wide variety of investors and budgets.
Initial investment minimums start as low as $100 USD for some of our truly passive ‘set-and-forget’ opportunities. However, our higher-end institutional-grade IVs start at $2,000 USD and above.
Yes, as long as you have access to the internet, and an online brokerage account that gives you access to multiple worldwide exchanges, you can invest in some of the TRADITIONAL IVs and resources we list.
And, the same goes for the ALTERNATIVE listings as well. 90% of them are not dependent on your geographical location, nationality, or citizenship designation.
In order to take advantage of the wide variety of investment opportunities that we continue to list in our private members’ area, it’s important to first understand that we have things separated into two primary categories:
1. Alternative Investments
2. Traditional Investments
Our alternative investment listings include many ‘hands-off’ managed and auto-traded accounts which trade several markets such as Forex (currencies), Commodity Futures, Options, etc.
The vast majority of these Investment Vehicles (IVs) are open and available to just about anyone worldwide, including Europeans.
There’s no requirement to create an offshore entity to open a brokerage account with any of these IVs, however some of our members do choose to have one set up for personal and / or financial reasons. The choice is yours, but again, an offshore entity isn’t required.
Now, our traditional investment listings on the other hand include self-directed public, exchange-traded resources such as stock picking advisories (which include penny, micro, and small cap stocks), as well as U.S.-based managed funds and various trading courses.
To trade stocks and ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds), you’ll need an equities brokerage account. While most of our Wealth Vault partners use online brokers such as Scottrade , OptionsXpress , or eTrade to trade U.S.-based stocks, non-U.S. citizens can use international brokers.
The two most popular non-U.S. brokers are Boom Securities and Saxo Bank.
Boom Securities offers you the ability to denominate your account in Hong Kong dollars, Singapore dollars, Australian dollars, U.S. dollars, and Japanese yen.
Saxo Bank gives you the option to denominate your account in Hong Kong dollars, British pounds, euro, Swiss Francs, Canadian dollars, Hungarian forint, Czech koruna, Norwegian koruna, New Zealand dollars, Singapore dollars, Turkish lira, Israeli shekels, South African rand, UAE dirhams, and Japanese yen.
The other nice thing about Saxo Bank is that they allow account holders to conveniently switch their account’s “base currency” anytime with the simple click of a button.
Needless to say, there are plenty of options available to for you to take advantage of everything we have to offer no matter where you live in the world.
We think it’s one you’d probably expect… but, with a slight twist that is both win-win for you and us.
We’ll accomodate providing a refund (up to 60 days), as long as you show some effort, patience, and genuine desire to get RESULTS with our research.
Hint: asking for a refund within days doesn’t cut it 
We offer a 60-day money-back guarantee, but we ask that you NOT invest in a Wealth Vault membership if you’re looking for ‘instant riches’ within days of joining. You have to work to succeed in anything (especially finances, money, and investing) and we’re neither going to hide nor apologize for that.
If you give our membership an honest try, by giving yourself time to implement the information and programs presented, and still feel that you can’t make back much more than the cost of your membership, you can request a refund by sending in a support ticket explaining why and we’ll accommodate your request.
Simply follow the path from our Hidden Treasures page…
Membership fees like ours can sometimes be tax deductible if you’re a part-time or full-time trader, or own a business that uses these kinds of resources to grow your company’s profits.
Please ask your tax advisor whether you’re eligible for any tax deduction.
Our Approach & Philosophy
The uniqueness of The Wealth Vault is in being a private listing of usable ideas and actionable opportunities. We’re in the business of PEOPLE, not politics.
Being immersed in the latter would naturally gravitate us toward limitation, anxiety, and fear. The former brings about possibilities, confidence, and the courage to take a chance on the value that life (as expressed through people) has to offer.
Right-minded, possibility-thinking PEOPLE run companies, solve problems, sell things, and produce greater returns for those around them. The movie Atlas Shrugged makes that evidently clear when you watch it.
So while we do post WW (Wealth Wire) articles that show political incompetence in action, as well as other related stupid human tricks that stall out initiative, value, and achievement (see our High Jinks category), we don’t let politics turn us into Chicken Little investors.
See the answer to the next question FAQ.
It’s somebody who spends a majority of their time and energy reveling in the so-called pending doom, and prognosticating “destruction of the dollar” and “death of America” noise perpetuated by overzealous marketers and ivory-tower financial types.
As pointed out by Brad, via this letter, we’re not saying to ignore government meddling and over-regulating, anti-success actions.
What we are saying, however, is that if you let the pessimism over-shadow your psyche, and continually fear what may one day happen, you’ll always have your money in ‘lock down’ or ‘preservation’ mode.
Our core philosophy around here goes something like this: the more we attempt to think we know about the direction of any market, including riding any seemingly easy ideological bandwagon (like the coming demise of the world’s super-power, or the value of any particular fiat currency, or generally looking with conviction into any flawed crystal ball), the less we end up earning nice ROIs.
For example: while it DOES seem incredibly purposeful and idealistic to talk about how paper assets (think certain ETFs) just recycle, move around useless money, or are the tools for the political/Wall-Street cartel, keep something in mind:
You can take such worst case scenarios and shun away such flexible and profitable IVs (due to non-guaranteed outcomes, driven via fear), or you can allow your digital (fiat, backed by nothing) currency to go to work for you.
‘Cause, in the end, it (digital investable cash) is still the FOUNDATIONAL vehicle to grow nothing into something. And, when you get more somethings, you then can take them and buy real assets with them.
For more, read “Why you should be ‘okay’ with holding cash in dollars.”
Yup, we sure do:
“Life is NOT a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ‘WOW — What a Ride!’” — Robert Wickman

As a second favorite, we seem to resonate with this too:
‘If you want the ultimate, you’ve got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It’s not tragic to die doing what you love’. “It’s not neccesarily about the big waterfalls and putting everything at risk. It’s about living the different life. Living the real life.”

Glad you asked…
At the end of 2010, Pink wrote an anthem to nonconformity; an ode to society’s outcasts, weirdos, mavericks and renegades.
We’re not saying we’re weird or anything. But, certainly, when it comes to provoking thought, questioning statist beliefs, and pushing the boundaries, we can hold our own.
If you want to be somebody who achieves greater returns in life, not just investing, you DO have to learn to swim against the flow of the cultural norm.
Pinks’ song may not be the best one to portray the above thinking, but we like it for now
“Raise Your Glass” can be heard and seen here…
P.S. A hearty salute to Roy H. Williams for being a tireless champion for creating change-makers.
