The new grandbaby is doing well and I'm already on my way back to New Hampshire to resume my work and get back on a normal eating and sleeping schedule.

For my first task, I'm going to host a live investing teleconference. I do these every few months or so and cover topics that are in the news and pushing stocks. It's a free event and I would love for you to attend.

If you can, join me for a live online teleconference on Wednesday, June 20th at 4:00 p.m. ET. I'm going to be covering the effects of global interest rates, high oil prices and the sell-off inthe Asian markets. It's my assumption that with these events pushing the markets now, the early June correction could soon look like a drop in the bucket.

Is it time to run to the sidelines…or add to your current positions? That's what I want to talk about.

If you remember my last post I told you about the importance of preparing your portfolio for life's unexpected events. I see forces at work that you need to prepare for and if you don't account for these events, you could be wiped out if you're caught looking the other way for even a moment.

Here's a bit more of what I'll be covering on Wednesday, June 20th:

*** The driving force behind June's big three-day sell-off and the surprising odds that you'll see other 400+ point sell-offs in the Dow later this year.

*** How China's cooling stock market, rising labor rates and increased speculation will affect your portfolio—even if you don't own one China stock.

*** What's really driving the private equity boom. How it's making shrewd investors rich. How you can get into the game and bank big profits without sticking your neck out.

*** What you're not being told about the subprime lending crisis…how to play $65 oil…my top takeover targets now…and much more.

*** PLUS, you'll not only be able to ask me questions via email but once the online conference is over, you will also receive a complete transcript along with future alerts and updates that will keep you up-to-date in these critical times.

I can't stress this enough: The biggest mistake you can make now is not understanding the forces at work in the marketplace.

I don't want to see that happen to you. So join me online on Wednesday, June 20th at 4:00 p.m. ET so that you'll be in a better position to make the right decisions. Don't miss out—click here now to attend.

You know what else? Those who listened in on my June 2006 Online Conference profited handsomely. Investors who followed my lead captured a 14% gain in the S&P 500 in just eight months. Of course, you did even better if you bought the specific stocks I recommended in that call.

Today's situation is eerily similar to last June's -- the same forces are in play in the market, which means you could see the same profits (or more) in the next eight months…if you know where to look. Click here now to join me for this live informational event.
