How to Optimize Delivery to Your Email Account

Unsolicited email, commonly referred to as SPAM, poses a major challenge when it comes to delivering the emails that YOU have paid us to deliver. As the volume of SPAM increases, ISPs and have become increasingly zealous in their filtering efforts. We have partnered with the industry’s leading delivery experts to do everything we can to ensure delivery of our emails, but there are a few steps you should take on your end to guarantee delivery.

If you suspect that you are not receiving your trading services from Jim Woods, or you notice sporadic delivery, you should be sure that our email address is included on your “whitelist” or “approved senders list.”

Here are the 2 most important steps you can take toward guaranteeing delivery of our alerts:

1. Add our address (financial@alert.eaglefinancialpublications.com) to your address book
2. Ask your Internet Service Provider’s technical support (or your company’s email administrator) to add our sender information to their SPAM filter’s whitelist:
   • Our sending address: financial@alert.eaglefinancialpublications.com
   • Our mailservers’ IP addresses:
     • 96.46.139.129
     • 96.46.139.130

Please consider the following tips and adjust your email client to ensure that you don’t miss a single alert or hotline.

AOL

For AOL version 9.0: you can ensure that valued e-mail is delivered to your Inbox by adding the sending address to your “People I Know” list.

• Open the latest alert or hotline from Jim Woods.
• Click the Add Address button (over on the right) to add that sender to your “People I Know” list.

Alternatively, you can simply send an e-mail to financial@alert.eaglefinancialpublications.com

Even if the e-mail you send doesn’t get through (for whatever reason), the act of sending it does the job of putting the address into your “People I Know” list–and that’s what counts.

If you’re using an earlier version of AOL, you’ll need to set your Mail Controls instead. Here’s how:

• Go to Keyword Mail Controls.
• Select the screen name your alerts and hotlines are coming to.
• Click Customize Mail Controls For This Screen Name.

For AOL version 8.0: Select Allow email from all AOL members, email addresses and domains.

• Click Next until the Save button shows up at the bottom.
• Click Save.

For AOL version 7.0: In the section for “exclusion and inclusion parameters”, include the domain of the “From” address (markskousen.com).

• Click OK.

• Click the More Options link. It’s on the title line of the e-mail, over on the right, next to the date. (If you see “Hide Options” instead, then you already have the extra options visible and can just skip this step.)
• When the extra options are visible (just below the subject line), click the Add sender to contacts list link.

Alternatively, you can just send an e-mail to financial@alert.eaglefinancialpublications.com, and that will add the address to your Contacts list automatically.

Even if the e-mail you send doesn’t get through (for whatever reason), the act of sending it does the job of putting the address into your Contacts list–and that’s what counts.

If one of your alerts or hotlines has been filtered into the Spam folder, you can prevent that ever happening again:

How should I build my portfolio?

I advise you to maintain a constant balance in your portfolio between fixed-income securities, blue-chip stocks (and/or assorted mutual funds), and gold and foreign currencies. Your most important task is asset allocation. Portfolio balance and diversification tower above your securities selection as the foundation for your investment success. For most investors, I advise a 50-40-10 plan. You want 50% in fixed income, 40% in general equities, and 10% in gold and foreign currencies.

For the equities portion of your portfolio, I advise exactly 32 stocks (if you choose to invest in individual stocks), with no more than two from each industry. You will achieve approximately 90% of the diversification of owning all NYSE-listed stocks. Mutual funds are a great alternative as well. Invest equally in the stocks (or funds) you own, and once your portfolio is established, don’t buy a new stock unless you first sell a current position.

Once your portfolios are in place, do not mix and match fixed income holdings and equities. You want to maintain balance at all times. Why? Because I, like you, do not have tomorrow’s newspaper. We do not know the future.

To construct a brand-new 32-stock Income Multipliers portfolio, proceed exactly as follows: (1) Buy the Top 10 from this month’s Intelligence Report. (2) Starting from last month’s issue, top down, add additional names not listed in this month’s IR. Then continue with the next most recent issue until your list totals a couple of dozen names. (3) Use the next couple upcoming issues to round out your list to 32 names.
