By Tom Dyson, Editor, Postcards From the Fringe Over the last couple of days, I’ve been telling you about the adventure that brought me to work for Bill Bonner… about how I left my job in London and flew to Mexico… and traveled across Mexico by freight train… arriving in Mazatlán on Mexico’s Pacific coast… In Mazatlán, I climbed down the side of the gondola, picked my way over three strings of parked railcars hemming me in, and made my way out of the freight yard. I walked toward the ocean. A large ferry was docked at a quay. Eighteen-wheelers were lining up on the wharf. They were loading them one by one onto the top deck of the ferry with a pneumatic elevator built into the ass of the boat.

The world’s top “all-in” investor was captured in this photo by a drone, sitting in a meditative pose on this outcropping in Cape Town, South Africa. Mainstream investors turn their nose up at him, even though he’s British banking royalty. But perhaps they’re jealous of what he’s accomplished. He nailed the “best performing investment” of 2000–2010 according to the Telegraph. And he made a fortune from Bitcoin, buying it below $10 in 2011, right before it climbed 302,000%. What’s his next big move? He just went all-in again. | | - | I went over to the little office and poked my head in the door. “Where’s the ferry going?” I asked. “San Lucas.” “What time?” “Tonight.” “Can I get a ride?” “Cargo only,” he said. I walked to the wharf. A port official was standing by the loading ramp. “Puedo pasar?” I asked. “Prohibido.” I retreated to some nearby shade to consider my options. Stow-Away Then, as if a mystical force was intervening on my behalf, the guard lit a cigarette, walked off the quay, and disappeared! In an era of disease, this "new cure" could be one of the most powerful medical technologies of our time. I picked up my bag and walked up the ramp, expecting – with each footstep – to hear shouting behind me. There wasn’t any. I didn’t dare look around. On the boat, I climbed a staircase to the second deck. There was a 20-foot-high hollow metal column shaped like the tailfin of an airplane at the back of the boat, among a tangle of marine-grade ropes and chains. There was an oval-shaped cut-out in one of its sides. I crawled in and wedged myself inside it – out of sight – for the rest of the afternoon. When I saw the late-afternoon sunlight suddenly pour in through the oval and paint a slow arc across the floor, I knew we’d left port.

The rich rarely reveal their secrets… But in a stunning new report from UBS, 200 of the richest families on Earth – worth an average $1.2 BILLION – let slip that they believe a new technology will “fundamentally change the way we invest.” “You can feel the electricity,” said one of the families. “It’s almost like what you felt in the 1990s with the Internet.” One of America’s most esteemed (and successful) investors recently met with four different billionaires. And he reveals the truth about this revolutionary new technology. As well as what it means for regular investors… | | -- | In the morning, we docked at Cabo San Lucas. The drunk truckers got in their trucks and drove away. I walked off the boat and stuck out my thumb… Tune in on Monday to see where my adventure took me next… Regards, Tom Dyson Editor, Postcards From the Fringe P.S. Traveling first-class was never my thing, as you can tell. Right now, I’m enroute from Florida to Alaska… in a small, pop-up camper van, which I’m sharing with my ex-wife and our three kids. But when it comes to my finances, I go all in. I took a chance on bitcoin back in 2011, when it was so new, it was trading for just $6. And a decade earlier, I put everything I had into gold, right before it went on an almost 500% run. And right now, I’m practically 100% in gold… I’m sitting on the sidelines in gold, waiting for the right time to get back into stocks. I’ve already handpicked the stocks I’m going to invest in. And one indicator will tell me exactly when the time is right to buy. I held a special online briefing all about my strategy last Wednesday night.
