Profiting From Obamacare: the Money Map Method
If you hate Obamacare and the notion of “big government” in general, then the makers of the Money Map Method are betting you’ll appreciate their book and reports. Here’s how that works.
Hoping to find common ground in anti-Obamacare sentiments.
Obamacare has made a lot of people very angry. According to critics, the hammer of Obamacare will cause these things to occur, among others:
- policies will double
- tax hikes come with Obamacare
- doctors will disappear
Detractors are calling the tax structure of Obamacare the largest tax increase in the history of the United States. The Obama administration has given the IRS an extra $500 million to enforce Obamacare, and that money is presumably coming from tax hikes.
There’s strike one.
Secondly, doctors will presumably leave the profession because of all the paperwork involved in Obamacare. Romneycare in Massachusetts has already caused this to happen in that state.
Obamacare made people angry, but Money Map wants you to profit from that rather than get angry.
Since the chances of repeal of the Affordable Care Act are nil, the makers of Money Map are urging you to profit from it rather than just getting mad. They offer to send you two free books to help you get there.
The first book is “Beating Obamacare” by Dr. Betsy McCaughey. She took the Affordable Care Act (all 2,572 pages) and condensed it into her book, which is way more comprehensible than the legal documents as written.
Just to fuel your anger, here are some of the points she makes in her book:
- Obamacare will move people over to Medicare and the health care system will make up that lost money by charging you more for services.
- Obamacare will reward hospitals who serve fewer senior citizens
- Medicare Advantage will be cut
- Medicare Advantage providers will go out of business
- there are 20 new taxes or tax increases that come with Obamacare
- now you must spend 10% of your income on medical expenses before you get a tax deduction
- under the ACA, the emphasis is on wellness so sick people get shortchanged
How Obamacare will benefit some people.
Now that you’re sufficiently mad, Money Map folks want you to turn that anger into enthusiasm for their free book. It’s by Keith Fitz-Gerald: “Don’t Get Mad: Get Rich”. He’s also written “Fiscal Hangover” which is acclaimed by experts.
The book they’re giving away details The Money Map Method. Here are the main ideas of the book…
How to profit off the ACA
People assume that companies with lots of minimum-wage employees will lose lots of money under the ACA. But all they have to do is take their full time employees and turn them into part-time (30 hours) so they aren’t required to offer health care plans to them. They also save money because they’re not paying for any benefits at all for those formerly full-time employees any longer.
If they’re going to profit, then now would be a good time to buy their stock.
McDonald’s stock has been flat lately because most people assume the company will be hurt by Obamacare. However, Obamacare will force McDonald’s to become more profitable. You can profit from this, but McDonald’s stock is expensive.
$115 billion in new business over the next 10 years. That’s what drug companies stand to gain from Obamacare. It’s from all the newly-insured people who will now be taking prescription drugs.
There will also be a huge push for vaccines. The vaccine business is about to explode…like 15% per year for many many years. It may be worth four times what it is today. You can profit from this by buying stock in companies who make vaccines. But at $50 per share for Glaxo-SmithKline that’s sort of expensive.
Here’s where the Money Map Method comes in.
The Money Map Method is about getting in on the ground floor of opportunities like these. The opportunities aren’t just from Obamacare, either. Many have much to do with what the developing world is going to want in the upcoming years.
“Grow your money or lose it”. Based on that mentality, the Money Map Method claims more success than the most popular index funds people love for their stability and growth.
Compared with the S&P 500, the Money Map Method did much better over a period of 12 years. 2000-2012 is the period of comparison, chosen because of its volatility: two wars, the Great Recession, the real estate bubble etc.
Global blue chip stocks make for stability, plus exponential growth is locked in by identifying small, unknown companies poised for huge growth.
The formula? Forget diversification…focus on the right mix and you’ll do even better. Here’s what it looks like:
50-40-10
- 50% of the investments go into large stable companies for value.
- 40% into growth and income stocks.
- 10% goes into rocket riders…more risky but positioned to really explode in value.
Money Map Press
The company behind this is not a broker, although they do provide a list of brokers on their website. Based in Baltimore, the company offers all sorts of memberships such as “Micro Energy Trader”, “Money Map Passport Select”, and “Passport Fellowship”.
I took a look at Passport Fellowship just to sample things. Subscribe, and you get lifetime access to the Money Map Report and other reports, all of which constitute financial advice. They provide recommendations for investing, in other words.
Their list of newsletters is impressive- all are geared toward investing news or “trading services”. Here are some of the types you can subscribe to:
- Short Side Fortunes
- Small-Cap Rocket Alert
- High Velocity Profits
- Energy Inner Circle
The whole point of all these newsletters isn’t clear- nowhere can I find prices for the subscriptions to these newsletters. It’s possible that this is one giant email-collecting machine designed to corral people who are likely to invest in risky stocks. If you’re one of those people, these newsletters and the book will prove fascinating for you. If not, then there’s no apparent charge or risk for finding out by subscribing.
Money Map Press will also help you learn about options trading, which is a subject way too complicated to cover here. Suffice it to say it’s another risky investment technique that promises high rewards.
The Verdict
You’ve probably noticed by now that this isn’t about Obamacare. It’s about investing with the Money Map Method and Obamacare was just an example of how socio-political events can help you predict where to invest.
That’s pretty much the Money Map Method- following the money means basically looking to see where on the globe the market is about to shoot upwards. Based on the notion that the Western “nanny states” are dying and the developing world is where the money is, the investing philosophy is just a tiny bit “unpatriotic”. Definitely distrustful of the federal government.
The Money Map method is for people who want to take their investments into their own hands. They may or may not have a little distrust of Wall Street and Washington, but what they all have in common is a desire to make big bucks in the stock market.
Well these books and the newsletters distributed by Money Map Press offer everything they think you’ll need to do just that. There are plenty of convincing testimonials from people who seem like experts.
Whatever your opinion of Obamacare and the government may be, it’s irrelevant. This is about investing in penny stocks. Fitz-Gerald’s investment strategy may have tons of merit- his book and the reports are free so if you’re interested it’s very easy to find out for yourself what this Money Map Method is all about.
