LUNCHEON

With Covid cases down 70% in two weeks and headed much lower, it's time for me to re-introduce you to the Mad Hedge Seminar at Sea. I firmly believe that the pandemic will be over by the summer, and what better way to celebrate than with an elegant Norwegian Fjord cruise.

Come join me on Cunard Line’s elegant and luxurious Queen Victoria on a seven-day Norwegian Fjord Cruise.

For the first time in ten years, I am hosting a Seminar at Sea. I had planned to do this earlier but ran head-on into the pandemic, which should be gone by next summer. On the last Seminar at Sea, I and a group of subscribers crossed the Atlantic Ocean on the Queen Mary 2, passing over the Titanic wreck.

The Queen Victoria departs Southampton, England at 12:00 noon on July 3, 2022 and returns to Southampton on July 10. There I will be conducting the Mad Hedge Fund Trader’s Strategy Update, a three-hour discussion on the global financial markets. You will have to get to Southampton under your own steam, which is about an hour south of Victoria Station by train.

I’ll be giving you my up-to-date view on stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, precious metals, and real estate. I’ll highlight the best long and short opportunities. And to keep you in suspense, I’ll be tossing a few surprises out there too. Enough charts, tables, graphs, and statistics will be thrown at you to keep your ears ringing for a week.

Tickets are available for $499 for the seminar only.

Attendees will be responsible for booking their own cabins through Cunard, which is offering staterooms for this cruise for as little as $959 a person. To book your cruise, please click here. The cruise you need to book is no. V216. The Queen Victoria has not sailed for two years and this will be one of the first post-pandemic voyages.

To get the details of the cruise, please click here. The July 9 seminar will be held in the ship owner’s suite while we are crossing the North Sea in of the most elegant accommodations afloat on the seven seas. For a video of the owner’s suite, please click here.

Just visit Cunard’s website, or call them directly at 800-528-6273 to make your own arrangements.

The weather this time of year can range from balmy to tempestuous, depending on our luck. A brisk walk three times around the boat deck adds up to a mile. Full Internet access will be available for a price to follow the markets. Every dinner during the voyage will be black tie, so you might want to stop at Saks Fifth Avenue in Manhattan to get fitted for a second tux. I have arranged a few dinners with the captain for myself and will pass on any nuggets I gain in a future letter.

Don’t forget to bring your Dramamine and sea legs, although the 90,049-tonne, 964.5-foot long billion-dollar ship is so big, I doubt you’ll need them. Her facilities include seven restaurants, thirteen bars, three swimming pools, a ballroom, and a theater. I spend most of my time on these cruises writing deep research pieces, although I might take a few fencing classes.

Cunard is requiring Covid vaccination cards of all passengers, and so am I. They may also require a negative Covid test within three days of departure, as are most cruise lines these days. We’ll be sailing all the way up to 61 degrees, 81 minutes north latitude, about the same latitude as Anchorage, Alaska.

I look forward to meeting you and thank you for supporting my research. To purchase tickets for the seminar alone, click here or go to my online store at www.madhedgefundtrader.com and click on the “LUNCHEONS” tab.

When the Commandant of the Marine Corps asks for a favor, you say “Yes Sir” without hesitating. So when General David H. Berger called me and asked to represent him at the 78th annual memorial service for the 1942 Battle of Guadalcanal, I started booking my flight.

It seems I’m the only living Corps veteran who had both a father and an uncle fight at Guadalcanal, who also speaks Japanese. That will enable me to sympathize with the Japanese families attending the service who lost loved ones.

I have acted as a diplomatic representative for the Marine Corps for many decades. Over the years, I have met presidents, Medal of Honor winners, and Navaho code talkers. My favorite was always the annual D-Day memorials at the Normandy beaches where I usually participated in a flyover. For a history buff like me, it’s a dream come true. Plus, Normandy had better food.

Guadalcanal was the decisive battle of WWII. The Americans lost 7,000 men, 25 ships, and 175 planes. The Japanese lost 30,000 men, 25 ships, including a major battleship, and 450 planes. Before Guadalcanal, the Japanese had never lost a battle. After Guadalcanal, they never won. If the US had lost Guadalcanal, WWII would have continued until 1948 or 1949.

Dad on the Right

Come join me for lunch at the Mad Hedge Fund Trader’s Global Strategy Luncheon, which I will be conducting at Fiji in the South Pacific at 12:30 PM on Monday, January 27, 2020.

An excellent meal will be followed by a wide-ranging discussion and an extended question-and-answer period.

The lunch will be held at a major resort hotel 12 miles south of Nadi, the location of the international airport.

Fiji was the home of cannibalism until the early 20th century. It is a former British colony that became independent in 1970. Since 1987, there have been two military coups. It returned to a democratic government only five years ago. It has been the site of many movies, including Castaway and Blue Lagoon. Today, it is a destination resort for Australians during their winter and our summer.

At a latitude of 17 degrees south of the equator, the weather is the same every day, 90 degrees Fahrenheit, 100% humidity, with constant rain. Malaria is endemic, so bring your Malaria pills (start taking them three days before departure). Typhoid shots will also be helpful. Needless to say, it is the low season.

If you have any questions about the Fiji luncheon, please email me at support@madhedgefundtrader.com. Just put “Fiji Luncheon question” in the subject line.
