James Woodburn
Dear reader,
There are two types of investors.
Those who entrust all their capital to 20 or so stocks and then leave their fate to the market…
And those who desire to take a more active role in growing their wealth.
If you’re reading this, I suspect you fall into the latter category.
You understand that true financial freedom comes not from waiting for the market to eventually make you rich…
But from seeking out and capitalising on the most exciting opportunities as they emerge.
And right now, we’re on the cusp of what could be the biggest opportunity in more than a decade.
After two years of grinding sideways, the Australian stock market is finally breaking out. The ASX 200 just hit a new all-time high as several major stocks rallied hard.
Now, those investors in the first group I just described might do okay out of this. They’ll see their wealth tick higher, and they’ll be pleased with that.
But those in the second group will see the REAL opportunity here…the one I want to talk to you about today.
INSERT CHART 1_ASX200_20yr chart_11'3'24
Here’s the ASX 200 — our index of large-cap stocks.
You can see it moving up again recently and hitting its new high in early March.
When the ASX 200 drives higher, it’s usually down to those investors in our first group.
These folks typically have long-term holdings in the index via an ETF…and when the market turns up, many of them simply add to those holdings.
It’s easy, quick, and passive. One decision. One transaction.
The most popular index fund in Australia right now is the Vanguard Australian Shares Index ETF.
According to its own literature, Vanguard invests 46 cents out of every dollar it receives into the top 10 companies on the market.
Again, it takes the decision making, and the control, away from those investors.
But because everyone is doing the same thing, no one is TRULY capitalising when the stock market breaks out…except, perhaps, the fund itself.
Now…I want you to look at the same chart, but this time I’ve overlaid it with the SMALL Ords — the index of Australian small-cap stocks. That’s the green line…
INSERT CHART 2_ASX200_ V_Small Ords_20yr chart_11'3'24
You can see that while blue-chip companies are making all-time highs, tiny stocks are still a long way off theirs.
That gap you see between the green line and the blue line on the right of the chart…to us, that’s unrealised value…and it looks like one of the best opportunities of the last 16 years to speculate on small stocks.
Small stocks are rousing…the Small Ords is up around 10% over the last six months…but as you can see, there’s a lot of catching up to do.
And with market sentiment becoming more positive as we move through 2024, it’s tempting to think that we could be in for a breakout at the smaller end of the market…and this gap could close, as it has on many occasions previously.
Of course we could be wrong — the market could turn lower again…
But with tech stocks…gold stocks…cryptos…AND small-caps all firing within the last few weeks, we feel that momentum is now firmly with the speculator.
That makes this a prime opportunity…for the right kind of person.
Is that you?
Do you want the chance to speculate on short-term opportunities in this turning market?
Are you interested in learning new trading techniques designed to improve your results in the short and long term?
Most importantly: are you pumped up about the prospect of growing your investment account significantly in 2024?
We just created an opportunity for 125 people — that’s around half of one per cent of our paid subscribers. So it’s very exclusive and very niche.
It’s not a new trading service — I’m not here to sell you on another advisory or subscription.
It’s bigger than that.
It’s a coming together of like minds into a new Fat Tail community — tailor-made for our ‘Top Gun’ investors…those who are excited about the prospect of a bullish market after two years of grinding conditions.
These people aren’t merely curious about speculating.
They see it as a serious strand of their investing strategy in 2024 and beyond. And they want to make more money from it.
If you’re one of our ‘top guns’, you’ll see passive, long-term investing as only one part of building wealth — and possibly not the most important part.
You’ll want to dive into a market like this one…because you’ll smell an opportunity to swing for home runs and exhilarating short-term wins — while accepting the risks involved, of course.
Now, if that sounds like you, let me explain what this opportunity is about and why we’re aiming it at just 125 of our subscribers…
Our company — Fat Tail Investment Research — has an almost 20-year history of sharing speculative investment ideas with our subscribers.
In fact, you could say that our business was built on the idea of calculated speculation…
…much in the same way modern Australia was — on the back of the gold rush in the 1850s.
We embraced that spirit when we founded our research firm back in 2005. At that time, we were way different from any other advisory business in the country.
Our first paid newsletter — Australian Small-Cap Investigator — showed readers the potential of speculating to make money from up-and-coming small stocks.
We noticed that no other company was doing this work. And if they were, they were almost always a PR firm, sponsored by the companies they were trying to promote.
We saw a big gap here to help Australians explore these underreported ideas.
Founding publisher Dan Denning told readers when we launched the newsletter in 2007:
'Owning blue-chip shares will not make you wealthy. In fact, in most cases you’ll barely "beat the bank" as far as annual returns go.
'Today we’re talking about a different type of stock…
'Not the kind your broker will want you to buy. You won’t see these brand names splashed over billboards as you drive to work. Nor will you read about them on the front page of The Australian Financial Review or on the cover of Businessweek.
'But I’ll prove to you, it’s these smaller, unknown companies…selling at bargain share prices…that can help you towards creating a whole, full, second income from your investments.'
That was a pretty big opening statement from Dan — and of course we know that it doesn’t always turn out that way when you’re buying and selling small-caps!
But through Australian Small-Cap Investigator,we offered a more active approach to investors whose capital — for the most part — was tied up in longer-term portfolios and superannuation.
We wanted to show them — provided they had the spare cash and the stomach for a riskier ride — that Australia was home to thousands of smaller stocks that they just weren’t getting to hear about.
Tiny companies with monster growth potential…selling for a few cents a share — listed here on the ASX.
We showed readers how responsible, intelligent speculating in these companies could give them the chance to see a small outlay swell to something much bigger within a few months.
For many of these new subscribers, it was the first time an independent firm had given them an entry price…a buy-up-to price…a stop-loss…profit-taking advice…and a sell alert on a stock.
We gave our readers the opportunity to make big winners, like:
It was also the first time many of our subscribers had seen stock gains like this before, too…all reeled off in a purple patch between October 2008 and December 2012.
Our biggest winners came a little later on in 2020, when our small-cap letter led some readers to an 886% gain from Zip Co, and a whopping 1,448% gain from Afterpay.
Now, it’s important to point out that we cut losses on many of our picks too. They didn’t all go up.
We made it clear then — as we do now — that speculating on small stocks is a lot riskier than holding a bunch of bank and retail shares in your portfolio.
But we set out to prove a point.
That by being more active, you can open yourself up to gains that absolutely trounce the index and those who invest solely in it.
At one stage in the bull market, Australian Small-Cap Investigator had more than 17,000 happy subscribers. I’d hazard a guess and say that this was the biggest circulation figure of any independent investment newsletter in the country at that time.
This prompted us to launch similar services in the mining, crypto and tech niches — which were all popular too…still are.
We even partnered with technical traders like Murray Dawes…whose system is designed to pinpoint precise entry and exit points in trades…and then help you manage your risk exposure while the trade is live…by suggesting target points to take profit — and to move your stop-loss up to avoid taking a big hit.
When we launched Murray’s first service — Slipstream Trader — in 2009, it was a huge hit with our readers.
And we learned that, while some people just want the name, ticker and buy price…others want to be talked through the trades…
The rationale…the technical ideas underpinning the entry and exit points…the risks…and the strategy, set in the overall context of a trading account.
They want to know how to do it themselves — confidently and successfully — without blowing their account up.
Well, for these people we’ve just created the Fat Tail Speculators Club.
Like I said earlier, this is not a new trading service, or high-priced advisory.
It’s a small, private community of Fat Tail subscribers who are serious about playing a more active role in growing their wealth — and capitalising on opportunities like the one in front of us now — instead of having all their money parked in big stocks for the long term.
And, perhaps most importantly, to do it alongside people who have the same goal as you.
If you want to be one of 125 charter members of our new club, you’ll immediately receive all the recommendations and ideas from our top speculation services…
AND…you’ll get ongoing guidance from our in-house, expert traders, who will show you how to…
Through regular video calls with our experts and in-person get-togethers, you’ll build a full speculator’s toolkit.
You’ll learn how to master the strategies necessary for boosting your trading performance, achieving higher gains in the short term and protecting yourself against risk…
You’ll strengthen your financial and analytical skills, and build greater confidence in the market…
You’ll get the chance to share your ideas about stocks, systems and trading opportunities with your ‘wingmen’ — like-minded investors who have skills and knowledge to trade in return.
And you’ll see how, when done right, speculation can be an effective and valuable part of an investment strategy.
You may even find that your speculative positions contribute more to your investment account over time than your buy-and-hold stocks!
For a top gun investor, I think The Speculators Club will be a game changer.
If you’re prepared to commit to it and accept the risks…if you’re willing to learn and put the fruits of that learning into your trading…it could set you on the path to the kind of success that others can only dream about.
Now, if that sounds like something that would interest you, in a moment I’ll show you how you can become a charter member…
I’ll explain exactly how it all works, what you can look forward to, and what you need to do if you want to take the next steps.
Remember, this is not a subscription.
It’s a new kind of Fat Tail membership — with a ton of new and exclusive benefits.
One of which being that you won’t pay annual subscription fees for any of the individual services included in the club.
Instead, you’ll pay a one-off fee to join the club, then a modest yearly membership charge that gets you all the benefits I’m about to describe.
I can almost guarantee that the annual charge is way less than you probably think.
In fact, it’s less than ONE TWENTIETH of the current official one-year subscription price of all the included Fat Tail services combined.
Like I said, for the right person this opportunity is a game changer. The low cost of annual membership to The Speculators Club is just ONE of the perks of joining today.
Let’s go through some of the others right now, starting with all the Fat Tail speculation advisories you’ll get full access to, as a member…
First, you’re going to get instant access to our brand-new VIP speculation service, Alpha Tech Trader.
Tech stocks have provided speculators with some of THE biggest returns in history.
Ryan Dinse
An early investment in Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, or Tesla would have each comfortably returned more than 10,000%.
In fact, a $10k stake in each of these companies, early on, would have been worth $15 million by the start of 2023.
Talk about life changing!
These companies are all giants now. They’re well known and dominate the market. Forbes reports that 90% of all the stock gains made in the US in 2023 came from just SEVEN stocks — ALL major tech firms.
2023 was an exceptional year for the tech sector thanks to the emergence of AI and its awe-inspiring potential to change, well, everything.
Several of the big names I just mentioned have led the way in AI development. Forerunner Nvidia even achieved the coveted trillion-dollar market cap in May last year.
Now…these massive companies are no longer speculations by any real definition of the word.
But the AI boom has created a stunning profit opportunity in so-called ‘second wave’ stocks…
…hundreds of tiny tech start-ups enabling the expansion — and seemingly inevitable explosion — of AI technology across all market sectors.
Thanks to the monster tailwind created by Nvidia and others, some of these smaller stocks roared ahead of the market in 2023…
With the likes of Super Micro Computer gaining 240%…Meta Platforms charging up 180%…C3.ai up 178%…Samsara up 168%…AMD went up 131%…and Palo Alto Networks flew up 115%.
Of course, there were plenty of losers, too. That’s the nature of a speculative boom.
But talk to any trader and they’ll tell you that all the risk capital is flooding into AI stocks at the moment — because they’re the ones moving up fastest!
Some say it’s a bubble. Others call it a ‘feeding frenzy’.
And that’s why we launched Alpha Tech Trader at the beginning of the year.
With AI flying at the moment, Ryan is focused on finding you the best opportunities this emerging industry has to offer…and then getting you into and out of them safely and successfully — with expert, precision timing.
Ryan has form for this.
Between 2017 and 2023, he led subscribers to tech winners like Advanced Micro Devices, which closed for an 833% gain…BrainChip, which made a 196% profit…and Simulations Plus, which made some readers 109%.
Then there’s Archer Materials.
Archer was a little-known Aussie quantum computing company when Ryan told his subscribers about it back in January 2020.
The share price subsequently took off — making a 1,088% gain by September of the following year.
INSERT CHART 3_Archer Materials 15'1'20_22'9'21
Now, to be clear — not every tech stock Ryan tells you about is going to '10 times’. Some of them will fall.
Remember, this is pure speculation.
Some of the prospects Ryan and tech analyst Charlie Ormond have identified are AI start-ups that aren’t generating any revenue yet. Many are listed on US exchanges, which carries additional currency risk.
It goes without saying that if you want to add any of Ryan’s tech and AI stocks to your speculation portfolio, you’ll need to tread carefully and set your own limits when it comes to risk.
But remember — you’re trading that higher risk for more excitement, greater autonomy, and the chance to swing for, quite frankly, huge rewards…in a sector well used to dishing them out.
Alpha Tech Trader is our newest trading advisory service.
The official price for a one-year subscription is $1,999.
But if you join the Fat Tail Speculators Club today, the service will be included in your club membership.
To remind you: as a Club member you won’t pay ongoing subscription fees for ANY service included. Just a small annual membership fee that covers everything…for as long as you want it.
Details coming up.
Next, you’ll get instant access to Australian Small-Cap Investigator.
As I said earlier, ASI, as we call it, is the very first share-tipping newsletter we launched, back in 2007. And it was created especially for speculators.
The remit is still the same 17 years on: to help you swing for big profits from small stocks in quick time.
You get in, ride them and then get out…with a view to taking a pile of cash with you.
It can be as fast and thrilling as the turn of a card, or backing a horse that leads the field with the finishing line in sight.
Now of course, small-caps are risky investments. Tiny stocks are volatile by nature. A share price that can double over the course of a trading session can just as easily halve.
But the point is, most investors never get to hear about these small companies.
Mainstream funds don’t tend to invest in them, because a sizeable allocation by a fund could be enough to buy the entire company!
And because major institutions don’t invest in small-caps, they see little point in having their analysts cover them.
That means two things…
First, there’s an opportunity to discover hidden value in many of these stocks…
Quite often, there’s so much about them the market hasn’t priced in — because they’re getting next to no coverage.
That can lead to sharp, upward price re-ratings when the company makes a positive announcement the market isn’t expecting. Many ASI subscribers have benefited handsomely from that phenomenon over the years.
We’re expecting the same over the next few months as the Small Ords bridges that gap to the main index.
Second, it means that, where small-caps are concerned, the playing field is wide open for private speculators like you to stroll in and pick up these pocket-rocket shares for a few cents a pop.
Now, obviously it helps if you know which stocks to buy.
And that’s where chief small-cap analyst Callum Newman comes in.
Callum Newman
Cal is brilliant at identifying the best prospects in the Aussie small stock arena.
Right now, his picks are definitely benefiting from this shift in sentiment I mentioned earlier.
At the time of writing, he has...
Of course, that’s just where these stocks are today — we don’t know where they could be tomorrow.
As a Speculators Club member, you’ll hear from Cal each month with at least one new small-cap recommendation.
You’ll get precise instructions on when to pull the trigger, and how much to pay for the stock.
Now, the current official price for a 12-month subscription to Australian Small-Cap Investigator is $199…and soon it’s going up to $400.
Because Australian Small-Cap Investigator is included in your Speculators Club membership.
As is access to Callum’s VIP trading service, Small Cap Systems…
Together with software engineer and hedge fund manager Peter Bakker, Callum has developed a system that uses machine learning to find momentum in small-cap stocks.
The AI delivers a weekly shortlist of tiny stocks to Cal, who applies his market know-how to get you into what he considers to be the best looking small-cap trades on the market.
This is NOT long-term investing.
Cal’s goal with Small Cap Systems is to get you into the money quickly in these stocks. Then get you out before things get too risky.
For example, this trade Cal recommended, in Ramelius Resources, went up 30% in TWO MONTHS…
INSERT CHART 4_Ramelius Resources 7'11'22 - 25'01'23
This one, in advertising stock Ooh! Media, jumped up 34% in FOUR months…
INSERT CHART 5_OOH! Media 18'10'22 - 28'02'23
And this one, in Accent Group, made a 31% gain in just ONE month…
INSERT CHART 6_Accent Group 18'10'22 - 24'11'22
Now of course, they don’t all go up this quickly. In fact, some don’t go up at all. These are small-caps, remember. They’re risky, volatile and often highly sensitive to market sentiment.
Callum Newman
But, through Small Cap Systems, you’ll have Cal on your side to help you moderate these risks.
I have to tell you that at the time of writing this, Cal’s trading service portfolio is flying — it’s one of our best performing speculation services right now.
Out of 10 open trades at the time of writing, EIGHT of them are in the money, with gains ranging all the way up to 66%.
And most of these trades have been open for less than four months!
I can’t name the stocks here as readers pay a lot of money for the trading intel…but, if you join The Speculators Club, you’ll get all the details, along with the up-to-date trading instruction from Cal, included in your membership.
Small Cap Systems is truly cutting edge.
We haven’t come across any other service — aimed at PRIVATE investors — that uses AI to find trading opportunities.
As such, a subscription costs $3,499 a year.
But you won’t pay that — because this service is also INCLUDED in your Speculators Club membership.
Now, I know we’ve covered a lot already.
But don’t worry. I’ll break down all the benefits of membership in just a moment…and I’ll explain how you can become a Charter Member.
Like I say...
And when you see what it costs to join — and what you get for your money each year — I think you’re going to be blown away.
I’ll come to all that in just a second.
Right now I want to tell you about the next service included in your Speculators Club membership, and that’s Ryan Dinse’s Crypto Capital Premium.
Now, bitcoin has had an eventful year so far — even by its recent standards.
Following the foundation of the first ever crypto ETF on January 10th, bitcoin smashed through its all-time high in US dollars.
INSERT CHART 7_BTC USD 2017-2024
Long-term subscribers of Ryan’s, who bought bitcoin on his recommendation back in June 2017, are currently sitting on — get this — a 2,948% gain.
Though I stress, this is at the time of writing.
That could have changed — maybe even significantly — by the time you’re seeing this.
But theoretically speaking, if you’d put $5,000 into bitcoin when Ryan tipped it, you’d have more than $152,000 in your account now. Wouldn’t that be nice?
Now, on the same day back in June 2017, Ryan also recommended his subscribers buy some Ethereum.
INSERT CHART 8_ETH USD 2017-2024
That’s gone up 1,606% since then…theoretically turning a five grand investment into just over $85,000.
That’s the thing about crypto. People keep talking it down. But it keeps on powering ahead.
Ryan admits he had no idea it would still be around today, when he paid just $600 for his first bitcoin back in 2014.
But it is. And now it’s mainstream.
Of course, we’re talking about the king of speculations here. Our premier crypto service HAS to be included in our new private club.
Ryan Dinse
And as a member, it goes without saying that you’ll know, understand and even embrace the huge risks that go along with buying and selling cryptocurrency.
If you’ve been unsure about crypto up to now, but you’ve seen all the fireworks this year…and you want to add the asset to your portfolio, you couldn’t really have picked a better time…or a better guide.
Join The Speculators Club today and you’ll get instant access to Crypto Capital Premium where Ryan will walk you through how to buy, own and store crypto safely…showing you how to invest in specific digital assets for capital gains AND income.
He’ll help you build a long-term growth portfolio of core cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin and Ethereum…
AND he’ll show you how to trade fast moves in selected smaller cryptos…
Like Sovryn, which is up 331% since Ryan recommended it in June 2023…and Storj, tipped in April 2020 and currently up a massive 702% at the time of writing.
Now again, let’s just be clear: these figures could have all changed tomorrow.
I’m just taking a snapshot of what is still an incredibly volatile asset. There are certainly NO guarantees in this market.
But in Ryan Dinse, you’re tapping into THE best crypto analyst in Australia, in my view. And right now, he’s as bullish as I’ve ever seen him.
In April — just a few days from now — we’ll see the bitcoin ‘halving’ event, where the number of newly created bitcoin in circulation could be dramatically cut…changing the supply/demand dynamic significantly.
If previous ‘halvings’ are anything to go by, that could turn an already storming market into an epic bull run in 2024.
Seriously…
Now, because of Ryan’s experience, knowledge and proven track record, we normally ask subscribers to pay $3,499 a year for access to Crypto Capital Premium.
But not you.
You’ll get a subscription included in your Speculators Club membership today…
Along with instant access to our flagship technical trading service, Retirement Trader.
Murry Dawes
For me, Murray Dawes embodies what The Speculators Club is all about.
Murray’s aim is to make your speculative investments pay off over the long term.
Not by being greedy or unrealistic. And not by chasing ‘fast buck’ gains from temperamental companies in hot markets.
His focus is on your trading account…
…helping you build it carefully from a succession of structured raids on smaller and mid-cap stocks…
…using short-term price signals to enter and exit trades…and careful risk and position management while each trade is live.
The aim of Murray’s Retirement Trader service is to deliver you an annual return on investment of 30% — while only risking 2% of your capital on any one position.
It sounds like the most conservative investment strategy you’ve ever heard.
But no — it really is a TRADING system!
Each trade Murray recommends has three pre-defined targets that act like pressure valves.
The first two are designed to help you get back the money you initially put down.
The third one enables you to ride the stock as high as it goes. All protected by strict stop-losses.
When Murray’s system goes to plan, the very worst that can happen is that you break even on a trade.
The best is that your profits run and run…
Let me give you an example.
This is the chart of Paladin Energy, a uranium miner based out of WA…
INSERT CHART 9_Paladin Energy_Jan 2018 - Jul 2022
Paladin entered what Murray calls the ‘buy zone’ in July of 2020.
He emailed his Retirement Trader subscribers, recommending they buy the stock at 12 cents, using just 2% of their trading capital.
Murray’s first target in the trade was 20 cents. At this point, subscribers could take some of their gains out of the trade — an amount equivalent to around half of their initial stake, plus costs.
That target was hit four months later in November, and an email from Murray duly followed.
The next target in the trade was 30 cents.
If the stock hit this second target, Murray knew subscribers could cash in another portion of their gains — also equivalent to half of their initial stake, plus costs.
That target was hit in February 2021 and Murray sent out his email accordingly.
Say you put $1,000 on the Paladin trade.
The stock goes up 67% in four months. Your stake is now worth $1,670.
You sell a third of the position at this point and get $557 back.
The stock goes up another 50% three months later. Your position is again worth $1,670. On Murray’s call, you sell another third and get another $557 back.
Once you’ve paid your trading costs and set aside the tax, you now have your initial $1,000 back, safely in the bank.
What’s left in the trade is known as a ‘free carry’.
Meaning, any gains you make from here are pure profit…and even if the stock goes to zero, you won’t have lost any money.
In Paladin’s case, the stock kept going up…until it entered what Murray calls the ‘sell zone’ in July 2022.
INSERT CHART 9_Paladin Energy_Jan 2018 - Jul 2022
At this point, he sent out a fourth and final email recommending subscribers sell the remainder of their holding for a 242% gain.
That’s a remarkable result in a tough market.
And it was the perfect ACTIVE trade, achieved with virtually ZERO stress…only risking a tiny amount in the position…taking part profit…moving the stop-loss up with the price…and obeying the system’s strict technical rules.
Paladin is just one individual trade. But remember, Murray is focused on your overall account…
Once you start using his system actively across all of your positions, the impact on your trading account can be seriously impressive.
Check this out…
INSERT CHART 10_APH P&L SINCE INCEPTION
Remember I told you Murray’s original aim with Retirement Trader was to deliver you an annual return on investment of 30% — while only risking 2% of your capital on any one position?
Well, during some of the worst market conditions in living memory, he’s very nearly done it.
Since we launched the service in 2018, Retirement Trader has achieved an annualised return on investment of 28%.
That’s across all positions. Winners and losers. Following Murray’s advice to the letter. And reinvesting your profits as you go.
And remember, this is a trading service…crazy!
Most mainstream Australian investment funds haven’t got anywhere near that level of performance with their conservative large-cap portfolios these past few years.
Yes, what Murray does is riskier than parking your investment capital in the Vanguard ETF.
But if you do it right, THIS can be the difference between intelligent speculating and passive investing.
And that’s why the official one-year subscription price for Retirement Trader is $2,999.
But…as a member of the Fat Tail Speculators Club, you won’t pay that — this year or any year — for access to Murray’s service. It’s included in your membership, for as long as you want it.
Now, I hope you like what you’ve heard so far.
Up to now, there’s only been one way to get all five of our speculation services.
And that’s to subscribe to them one by one — and pay up to $12,195 a year.
Well, today that changes.
Today you get a much smarter option…
A one-off fee to join The Speculators Club…and then every year you want to retain your membership, you’ll pay dues equivalent to around ONE TWENTIETH of their current official annual price.
As a club member, with access to these five services, you’ll never be short of high-potential opportunities to move on.
You’ll be able to attack virtually any market…and pursue wins aggressively…while individual subscribers may have to sit out.
But remember, The Speculators Club isn’t just about loading you up with stock tips, entry points and sell alerts…
It’s about taking a more active role in trying to grow your wealth, now that the market is turning up after two years of grinding sideways.
Instead of leaving your money parked in big stocks for years on end, you’ll learn how to use short-term signals to move in and out of positions more frequently — with the aim of squeezing more money from your portfolio over the long term.
That’s the aim.
And we’re serious about helping you achieve it.
As a Speculators Club member, in addition to all the trading advisories, you’ll also get access to a wealth of valuable coaching and mentoring resources that aren’t available to individual subscribers.
For starters, over the next year you’ll be invited to six ‘Clubroom’ calls with our key trading analysts and your fellow top gun colleagues.
Each video call will be like a live traders’ workshop — where our experts will show you how to trade markets the way they do.
Using case studies as your guide, you’ll learn the things novice traders don’t know that the pros do, like…
During these Clubroom sessions, you’ll get the opportunity to put your ideas to our trading specialists, too. Just do note that they won’t be able to take questions related to your personal financial situation.
Another exclusive benefit of membership is the Speculators Club annual meetup in Melbourne.
Once a year, we’ll invite you over to our home base for an evening of spirited chat, good wine and shared insight.
Any talks from our analysts will be of the informal kind — and you’ll get an opportunity to share your trading war stories, too.
The best part is that you’ll get to meet and mingle with Club members from all over Australia in an intimate, private setting. We’re already checking out suitable venues for our 2024 meetup.
It’s through these connections with our top gun network that you can come across trading strategies and investment ideas you wouldn’t have heard of before…
The annual meetup might actually be the biggest and most valuable perk of Club membership. And there’s no additional charge to you, any year you want to come along.
On top of all of this, you’ll also get access to a dedicated Speculators Club email inbox, where you can reach the group directly without having to go through the usual channels.
This private inbox will come straight through to our office here in Melbourne, meaning we can prioritise any membership queries or feedback you have.
I really hope you can see the value here.
Like I said earlier, I’m targeting 125 of our paid subscribers — the ‘top guns’, so to speak. People we know have an active interest in speculating and want to attack this emerging market situation.
Why such a small number?
The truth is, the opportunities I’ve talked about today just aren’t meant for everyone.
We have more than 20,000 paid subscribers.
Some are more committed to their investing than others. And more serious about putting the insight we share with them to work in their own private accounts.
What drives these subscribers?
There are many things. Curiosity. Open-mindedness. A sense of adventure. A feeling that there’s a better way to grow wealth than what we’re told by mainstream sources of news or advice.
It might even be related to the adage of teaching a man to fish so that he might feed himself for a lifetime.
Whatever it is, we know that only a small number of our subscribers will ever want or have the capacity to join The Speculators Club.
And that’s fine.
A small and active group of committed people means we can keep things intimate and constructive.
It’s easier for us to keep up with your progress and answer any questions you have until you’re trading profitably and confidently.
If it is, applying for membership couldn’t be simpler.
If you scroll down and click on the button at the foot of this letter, you’ll go through to the application form, which you’ll need to fill out and submit.
To remind you, when you join The Speculators Club, you’ll get access to five Fat Tail speculation portfolios immediately. You can take your pick of any of the open positions from…
Starting tomorrow, you’ll receive any and all new buy alerts from our trading pros — along with full instructions for how to get involved, plus all trading rationale including an assessment of the risks.
We’ll schedule your first Clubroom call next month.
You’ll go straight onto the invitation list for our first meetup in Melbourne.
And you’ll join a private network of speculators who have the same interests and goals you do…and know an opportunity when they see one.
If you have the capital to spare…and you’re itching to get more active after two years of inertia in the stock market…
…or if you’ve been waiting for ‘the right time’ to get into crypto…small-caps…or tech stocks…
…we’d love to have you as a charter member of the Fat Tail Speculators Club.
So, as things stand, if you wanted to subscribe to the five advisory services included in the club, you’d pay up to $12,195 every year.
But you wouldn’t get access to the Clubroom calls…or the meetups.
Join The Speculators Club today, and you’ll pay a one-off fee of just $6,999, to get EVERYTHING.
So, for starters, you’re paying 40% LESS than the current annual subscription fees to get instant access.
BUT…here’s where it gets really interesting…
Next year, if you decide to retain your club membership for a further 12 months, you won’t pay the $12,195 official price for access to our top speculative advisories.
Nor will you pay another $6,999 fee.
You’ll pay just $599.
I’ll say it again: $599 is all you’ll pay to retain your membership, next year.
In fact, that’s all you’ll pay EVERY year you want to be in The Speculators Club.
As I said earlier, that annual membership fee is less than ONE TWENTIETH of the current cost of subscribing to all these services individually each year.
Put another way, from 2025, you’ll automatically save up to $11,596 — every year of your membership.
And that’s just the subscription value. It doesn’t take into account the effect your membership of The Speculators Club could have on your wealth over that time.
Remember, as a Club member, you’ll be getting so much more than the tips, alerts and updates regular subscribers get.
You get to be part of a small but focused collective that can really help your education and progression as a trader.
When you consider what you currently pay to renew just ONE of our VIP speculation services for 12 months, it’s an absolute steal.
But…I’m going to sweeten it even more for you now…
Through this invitation ONLY, I’m offering you an additional $1,000 off the already discounted joining fee.
SO…if you’re one of the first people to respond to this invitation…instead of paying $6,999 to join The Speculators Club today…you’ll pay just $5,999.
That’s HALF the price of subscribing to each included service individually for one year. It’s a massive discount.
And then, remember, all you’ll pay from next year onwards is that $599 annual membership fee.
That ensures continued access to the included services AND all the other club benefits I told you about a moment ago.
These spaces are likely to be snapped up fast. So if you want one of them, please scroll down, click the button at the foot of this letter and follow the steps on the next page. Please don’t put this off.
I’m serious about filling our new club with 125 of our ‘top gun’ traders.
But we do have more than 60 years of combined market experience to guide you…and a willingness to stick it out with you until you achieve the kind of success you want.
You just need to bring an open mind, a sense of adventure and a desire to make careful, considered speculation a part of your long-term investment plan…with the goal of transforming your financial life.
Many of us here know from personal experience that speculating can become an invaluable tool in your arsenal — and open you up to the kind of opportunities that long-term buy-and-hold investing simply doesn’t.
But perhaps the biggest benefit of all — a real Fat Tail benefit — is that, when done right, speculating gives you more control over your investments…and greater decision-making power over your financial future.
If that’s something you want, I urge you to consider joining us today.
Don’t make the mistake of leaving this for a while. This is going to be a small intake of charter members. I’m confident it will fill up pretty quickly.
So if you want to qualify for the extra thousand-dollar discount, please click the button below now and complete the form on the next page.
Or, if you’d prefer to speak to someone on the phone, call our Customer Services team now on 1300 667 481.
Thanks, and I hope to see you in Melbourne later this year.
Sincerely,
James ‘Woody’ Woodburn,

Calculating Your Future Returns: The value of any investment and the income derived from it can go down as well as up. Never invest more than you can afford to lose, and keep in mind the ultimate risk is that you can lose whatever you've invested. While useful for detecting patterns, the past is not a guide to future performance. Some figures contained in this report are forecasts and may not be a reliable indicator of future results. Any potential gains in this letter do not include taxes, brokerage commissions, or associated fees. Investments in foreign companies involve risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Specifically, changes in the rates of exchange between currencies may cause a divergence between your nominal gain and your currency-converted gain, making it possible to lose money once your total return is adjusted for currency.
