The next 15 minutes could have a tremendous impact on your financial future. Building Wealth With Value and Integrity    My name is Chris Mayer. I'm the editor of a financial advisory newsletter called Fleet Street Letter - the investment publication of choice for conservative investors for almost 68 years. We were born in 1937... before Pearl Harbor... before World War II... and probably before you! And although our faces have changed a bit over the years... our values haven't budged. As you'll soon discover we are from a different era... a time when integrity and common sense ruled the day. A time when value was more important than flash, hype and sizzle. Our philosophy is simple: We look for value - excellence at the right price. And we don't chase the latest get-rich-quick hype coming out of Wall Street. I think you'll agree: That's particularly important today. You see, these are dangerous times. Scandals, scams and lies are rampant in the investment community... It's hard to find anyone you can trust. But one thing you can be sure of: REAL VALUE doesn't come unglued during a stock market plunge or real estate crash. Real value is built to last... and it will. Good times or bad. Financial Muscle to Stand up to Wall Street Now, you may be wondering: Does a value-based, common-sense approach work? Do we have what it takes to stand up to Wall Street's ruthless scams? You better believe it! You see, before joining Fleet Street, I spent nearly 10 years as a commercial banker. I managed a loan portfolio of up to $200 million - and underwrote corporations with as much as $500 MILLION in revenues. As a vice president, I was the guy who got the call on which corporation got a business loan... and which ones didn't. I came face to face with some powerful CEOs looking for fresh operating capital. And as you can imagine, the pressure to give in to their demands was enormous. But my job wasn't to please the corporate executives. My job was to protect the bank from bad investments. So... if a corporation didn't meet my rigid loan criteria... the answer was a resounding, 'NO!'... and I showed them the door. I can't tell you how many stuffed three-piece suits I had to kick out of my office. But it wasn't personal. Strictly business. They simply didn't measure up...  I treated the bank's money as sacred. And as the editor of Fleet Street Letter , I'll hold the same respect for YOUR FINANCES as well. At Fleet Street , we insist on value. Hype and flash don't cut it. And before I recommend you invest a single penny of your money in a stock, I'll do everything in my power to ensure that the company is solid, reputable and worthy of your consideration. Conservative? You're darn right. And our results speak for themselves. To take a look...please click this link: http://www.agora-inc.com/reports/FST/predictC19
