The Dow is struggling to return to 1999 levels. So far, NASDAQ's down for the year. Tech stocks are up one day and down the next. Dozens of dot-com companies are running out of cash and folding up shop. Clearly, profiting in today's market is going to require a different approach.

To beat the market these days, you need to do more than just "buy, buy, buy." Now more than ever, it's vitally important that you take steps to ensure that you not only don't lose money... but that your profits continue to grow — substantially — year after year, in any market.

You need to "step up" your investment strategy and use the very investment techniques professional traders and investors use to boost returns, no matter how the market performs. That's why we're so excited about this year's Agora Financial Symposium 2000.

We've assembled — all in one place — what can only be described as an "all-star line-up" of some of the most accomplished, innovative and successful investors in the world to speak to you. This year's theme couldn't be more simple and direct... it's all about return on investment.

That's why every participant we've invited to this year's symposium will focus on one thing and one thing only: making profits. Not just ordinary profits, either. Substantial profits. The kind of profits that have the potential to double your money — year in and year out.

For example, you'll learn — in one place, at this one event — all about the world's greatest investment that, over the last 40 years, has returned 32.4% in good times and between 83% and 252% when the market's gone south; a technique for cashing in on IPO lock-up expiration periods — that infamous date when all those high-flying tech and dot-com company insiders are allowed to dump their stocks for quick cash; a little-known Wall Street trick that lets you buy and sell when the insiders do (for insider-sized profits); and the highly profitable techniques of "Pirate Investing" and buying "Disruptive Technology" Stocks — techniques that are ideally suited to today's fast-moving market, as evidenced by 108% gains over the last 10 months alone. And much, much more.
