When Wealthy Investors Meet in Secret, Interesting Things Happen

Dear Wealth Daily Reader,

It happens twice a year. 

I board either a plane or a train, travel to either Toronto or New York, and check into a hotel. 

For the next two or three days, I hardly leave that hotel.

From the viewpoint of a common tourist, this sort of behavior is bizarre to say the least. With so much to see and so much to experience, why would somebody spend upwards of $500 per day on lodging and barely even set foot outside the hotel lobby?

The answer is that for a guy like me, what’s happening inside that hotel is more fascinating, rare, and important than anything else I might find in Toronto, New York, or any other city where this covert event is held. 

Somewhere in the bowels of the hotel, usually beneath ground level, I gather with a few hundred investors, members of the media, brokers, and company executives. 

People cram into small conference rooms, doors are closed and locked for about 25 minutes at a time, the crowd goes silent, and presenters tell their stories. 

It’s these stories that make the trip, the cost of the hotel, and the days of seclusion worthwhile.

New York’s Greatest Sights… Two Floors Beneath Fifth Avenue

Attend one of these meetings, and you’ll learn about a cancer detection technology that can find a tumor months before current methods, thus increasing chances for successful treatment by a factor of 10…

Or about a cellular technology that will allow people in the middle of the Sahara to get streaming internet. 

Or you might hear about an environmental remediation technology, designed to scrub oil-stained beaches, that was adapted to extract never-before-accessible oil from sand hundreds of miles inland, in the middle of a desert. 

Or you just might hear about a tiny company, still deep in its research and development phase, that recently perfected a method for producing lithium-ion batteries that yields batteries with more than 20 times the energy density, allowing the next generation of Tesla cars to be almost a ton lighter. 

These are just four real-world examples of companies I see at these meetings on a biannual basis. 

Each meeting features dozens of such companies, and for the private investors and fund managers trying to get a firsthand look or a meeting with one of the company reps, it’s standing room only. 

I usually get to the conference rooms nice and early because when you’re sharing space with multimillionaires and even billionaires who are not accustomed to crowds of any sort, the atmosphere is hostile on every level. 

People will even get territorial over glasses of drinking water. 

The companies presenting at these events are important because the technologies they’re developing and marketing will be the world-changers of tomorrow. 

But the truly unusual aspect is the competitive atmosphere among investors. 

Come to Where the Smart Money Fights Over Refreshments

You see, usually, when early-stage companies go on the road looking for money, it’s the venture capitalists — the rich guys — who get to pick and choose at their leisure. 

That’s the nature of private companies, whose stock may not be liquid for years to come. 

But the companies at these covert investor meetings are different. 

These companies are all public, trading quietly on the Canadian and American exchanges. 

Their shares are available to anybody, so why would some of the wealthiest individuals in the world be tripping over themselves for access to these unrestricted stocks?

Simple. 

Because they want special deals from management. They want to be able to nail down large chunks of stock without driving up share prices in the process. 

That’s how the 0.1% does it. But in the long run, it really doesn’t matter. 

When they do finally hit their inflection points and go into mass commercialization, these companies, which often trade for a couple cents and have market capitalizations in the single-digit millions, return hundreds, even thousands of times their initial investments back to the investor. 

At that point, getting in a penny or two lower on the buy-in becomes inconsequential. Just like fighting over free glasses of drinking water.

But that doesn’t stop the ultra-rich from doing it.

I’m the Quiet Guy in the Room, Minding My Own Business, Until…

I typically bring my own water so I don’t have to fight for it. Nor do I bother with the special deals on restricted stock. 

My only goal at these meetings is to get the story, understand the idea, and then distill it all so I can write about it. 

For this reason, company reps are usually more than eager to talk to me, because it’s always about what I can do for them in helping get the story out, versus what they can do for me in getting a break on share pricing. 

I’ve been attending these conferences for years now and have put the incredible ideas and world-changing companies to work creating investment gains for my readers. 

Right now, I’ve reopened my newsletter for new members. It’s something I can’t do often, because too many players on the field ruins the game. 

Today, however, I’m making that exception because the ideas I’ve seen at the last conference may just be the most revolutionary yet.
