The Campbell Method: A Proven Timing
System that Tells You EXACTLY When to Buy
and Sell Real Estate to Make Maximum Profits!

Dear Real Estate Investor:
Imagine for a moment how you would feel if you could predict major turning points in the real estate market.

Suppose somebody handed you a 21-year time-tested system that would tell you ahead of time when property values were going to hit a peak … and then when prices were going to hit bottom years later.

If you could anticipate these kinds of critical real estate events in advance … then not only could you make spectacular profits, but you could protect your money as well.
Sounds pretty amazing, doesn't it?

Actually, it's not. The real estate market does signal its future intentions if you know where to look.
Hello. My name is Robert Campbell and I wrote Timing the Real Estate Market to help both professionals and ordinary people make the most money in real estate with the least amount of risk. I also have my web site; www.realestatetiming.com Based on a major breakthrough in tracking and predicting real estate trends, my book reveals the real estate timing technique that I call The Campbell Method .

As far as I know, The Campbell Method is the only proven method in the world that shows how to accurately anticipate upcoming changes in your local real estate market.

What this means is that when you read Timing the Real Estate Market , you are going to learn how to make – and protect – your fortune in real estate in the same way that J. Paul Getty, the Rockefellers, Warren Buffett, and other super-rich investors made their fortunes: by focusing on WHEN to buy and sell.

It's true. When it comes to making money in real estate, nothing beats good timing.

The reason that The Campbell Method is going to change the way you think about how to buy and sell real estate is that I share my truly remarkable discovery of five key real estate indicators. I call them “Vital Signs," and they're able to predict the peaks and valleys of real estate cycles with an almost uncanny accuracy. As “leading indicators” to what's looming on the horizon for real estate prices, these Vital Sign indicators act like windows into the future, giving you advance notice of approaching trend changes from three to six months before they become obvious to the general public.

Author's Note: Timing the Real Estate Market is used at the University of San Diego by Professor Elaine Worzala. The class: Real Estate Investment. "The logic behind these Vital Sign indicators is air-tight," says Professor Worzala. "I'm very impressed, and my students love your book."

Copies of Timing the Real Estate Market will be available for purchase and autograph by Robert Campbell at the meeting.

A TWO (2) PART MEETING YOU MUST NOT MISS!

sgplunderPART # 1 - Author & CalWatchdog's Editor in Chief; Steven Greenhut

Author of the Book:

“Plunder! How Public Employee Unions are Raiding Treasuries, Controlling Our Lives and Bankrupting the Nation.”

His Op-Ed article for the Wall Street Journal; "Plundering California" is a must read. Here is the link:

http://liberty.pacificresearch.org/press/plundering-california

  • The 2010 California Budget shortfall is projected to be $20B or more!
  • This Shortfall is larger than the entire state budgets of all but a handful of other States
  • The California Legislature continues to use budget gimmicks, including unrealistic assumptions of new revenue and accounting tricks employed to effectively borrow from future year.
  • California as a state enacted the largest tax increase ever imposed by any statehouse in the history of America. The results were predictable: Like the tax increase of 1991, California plunged deeper into recession and produced less revenue.
  • The inability of politicians to restrain their spending of taxpayer dollars is the direct result of the forceful application of political power. And, in California, there are no greater political influences than the public employee unions.

To make a difference, lovers of liberty ought not only to buy Steven Greenhut’s book, but buy several copies to distribute to friends and family.

To win the battle, we have to educate voters and Plunder! will not only educate, it will enrage. And in this case, a little rage is a good thing.

Don't miss this opportunity to listen to Steven Greenhut LIVE! - books will be available for purchase and autograph.

BAWB March 18th, 2010 Meeting

After the Fall:

Saving capitalism from Wall Street—and Washington

SPEAKER: Author, Nicole Gelinas

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

You see the government gradually adopted a "too big to fail" policy for the largest or most complex financial companies, saving lenders to failing firms from losses. As a result, these companies became impervious to the vital market discipline that the threat of loss provides.

Adding to the problem, Wall Street created financial instruments that escaped other reasonable limits, including gentle constraints on speculative borrowing and requirements for the disclosure of important facts.

The financial industry eventually posed an untenable risk to the economy—a risk that culminated in the trillions of dollars' worth of government bailouts and guarantees that Washington scrambled starting in late 2008.

Even as banks and markets seem to heal, lenders to financial companies continue to understand that the government would protect them in the future if necessary. This implicit guarantee harms economic growth, because it forces good companies to compete against bad.

History and recent events make clear what Washington must do.

First, policymakers must reintroduce market discipline to the financial world. They can do so by re-creating a credible, consistent way in which big financial companies can fail, with lenders taking their warranted losses. Second, policymakers can reapply prudent financial regulations so that markets, and the economy, can better withstand inevitable excesses of optimism and pessimism. Sensible regulations have worked well in the past and can work well again.

Don't miss this incredibly informative meeting!

About Nicole Gelinas:

Nicole Gelinas is the Searle Freedom Trust Fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a contributing editor of City Journal. Gelinas writes on urban economics and finance, municipal and corporate finance, business issues, and crime. She is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and a member of the New York Society of Securities Analysts.

Copies of her book will be available for purchase and autograph at the meeting.

In After the Fall, Nicole Gelinas shows how the financial crisis that began in 2008 was not a failure of markets, but a failure of government to understand its proper role in markets.

She explains how Washington helped bring on the economic crisis in two ways: through its "too big to fail" policy, and by its failure to apply proven, prudent regulatory principles to modern financial markets and firms. In the absence of market discipline and prudent regulation, the government is now deciding which companies and people should receive investment capital, and on what terms—harming our economic competitiveness.
