Discipline, patience and preparation made the Boston Red Sox 2007 World Champions. My goal with Intelligence Report is to give you the same kind of strategy to help you get ready to relax and enjoy your retirement. So in this month’s issue I discuss how to set up the draw from your retirement portfolio to ensure that yours is an enjoyable one. I also revisit last month’s railroad picks and why they are attractive businesses for your investment dollars. And guess what? We’re not the only ones jumping on the railroad bandwagon — someone famous is picking up shares of one of my new recommendations. In this month’s issue, I also do a quick review of our Agricultural Commodities portfolio — they all remain buys on my list. Plus, I give you an update on a fund covered by the WSJ that you should stay far way from. Make it a good month.

How should you improve your returns in the current low-growth environment? Take a look at this month’s Economic Analysis and review the year-to-date returns. This will help you understand what you’re going to need to profit from this market. With new money your focus should be on alternatives to the weak U.S. dollar. There are two components to this approach–precious metals and currency investment. I have long been an advocate for precious metals. In this month’s issue, I give you an overview of some of my top choices for foreign currency funds and four of the six countries that I feel are your best options. I also have a detailed rundown on my Top 10 Countdown along with some of our other Master Monster List stocks. Make it a good month.
