    Yes, it's an ad for Money Week. They are bearish to the core ( it is produced by Bill Bonner, seemingly a perma-bear ). But I happen to think that they are right about the five investments the ad suggests are best avoided right now ( to save you slogging through it they are buy to let property, Chinese companies, the dollar, American companies and high yield [aka junk] bonds ). They have been peddling this line for over a year now, possibly longer; Bill Bonner's view is that oil, gold and other commodities are the best investments for the time being and anyone who heeded that advice has done reasonably well. Here's his website -

    There is a link there to the UK version.

    The magazine is nowhere near as apocalyptic as the ads suggest, btw!
