On
the following pages is a full-page ad (reproduced to fit into
my newsletter) which appeared in Investors
Business Daily featuring Martin Weiss, President of Weiss
Research, and self-proclaimed America's #1 financial watchdog.
His long copy, full-page ad tells you how you can, if you act
quickly, avoid being devastated by the coming Y2K crisis.
"All
hell broke loose when we sent our Y2K surveys to
11,000 banks and S&Ls!
"Bankers
threatened me with lawsuits. Regulators hit the
ceiling. Why? Because over 1,305 financial
institutions are behind schedule in fixing their
computers for the Year 2000, and they don't want
you to know who they are. But I will tell you.
I'll give you the names of the most and least
vulnerable. I'll tell you where your
institution stands. Plus, I'll show you how to make
windfall profits from the coming Y2K Crash."
Dear Friend,
I recently sent surveys
to 11,000 banks and S&Ls, asking them about their
progress in fixing their computers for the Year 2000.
All hell broke loose.
Bankers sent me threatening letters. S&L managers
went ballistic. Federal regulators hit the ceiling.
One banker wrote me that
"any survey results compiled by your company...
will result in dire consequences." Another
warned: "If you release any derogatory
information regarding our... Y2K efforts, we will
immediately begin a lawsuit against your firm and its
management."
But to ensure the safety
of your money, you MUST
have this information. So I'm publishing the results
of our survey - no matter what
they say!
"Many
[bank] computers
could malfunction or
even shut down."
