Right now almost everyone is feeling the stress associated with the financial uncertainties in the world. These are some frightening times and without knowledge and good information, we may feel paralyzed. The good news is that you are unlike 99% of the folks out there because you know that the world is a big place. Opportunities stretch far beyond the borders of North America. This is a huge advantage, but only if you utilize this knowledge and put it to work for you.

This note is to examine real asset class diversification and to bring you up to speed on what a difference three short years can make. You can still get in at the ground floor of this phenomenal opportunity.

Please understand, this e-mail is to re-introduce you to the possibility of owning shares of our development company with projects in Belize, Nicaragua and Costa Rica and over 5 miles of exceptional beachfront property right now. In the near future we anticipate adding Panama, Argentina and quite possible a second piece of property in Costa Rica as well. The advantage to you is that your ownership in ECI provides real diversification into Latin American real estate in several markets.

Diversification, as we know, is critical. But what is real diversification? For most folks, it was having your stock portfolio weighted into the various types of domestic and foreign stocks, small caps, large caps, the energy sector, etc. But unfortunately, this was still having all your eggs in one basket, the Wall Street basket.

Up until now, no one really thought that whole system could come off the rails, but indeed the system itself, the Wall Street train derailed and it didn't matter what sector you were invested in. All went down in the year 2008. The train many were riding in went off the rails and everyone suffered. True diversification is spreading your nest egg into multiple forms of transportation.

Some analysts, a very few indeed, were prescient about this danger and suggested alternatives such as direct property ownership, limited partnerships, and private equity stock companies. The difficulty is that many of these types of products are limited to qualified or sophisticated investors and the minimums are usually $100K and up. However, for the folks that qualify, these types of products have continued to do well even in a down turned market.

ECI Development is one such company. Shareholders must meet the definitions of accredited sophisticated investors, but for those that do, a real diversification is possible. Ownership in ECI is a means of holding direct and unleveraged ownership of property in 3 countries of Latin America right now. Soon this will be 5 or six countries as we continue to acquire new assets for the company. There are great buying opportunities in the region as weaker players struggle or fold up operations and ECI is in the fortunate position to be able to acquire some of the select properties that will round out our consumer offering.

Also important to understand is that you'll own a diversified set of business types. These currently include cable TV and internet services to our property owners, property management, rental management, home construction, alarm systems, and other businesses that we will develop to serve the ECI clients t who call our communities home. This is real diversification and direct ownership of the assets.

With so many folks out there promising what they are going to do, it is important for investors to look at what has been done and what is real. Promises made in this kind of economy may be tough to fulfill, especially if they have not been financed. Wise investors should closely examine the management talent and financial strength of the developer they want to get involved with and look at proven results. ECI is a consumer focused company based on fiscal prudence (no debt), profitability (15 dividends paid to date), professionalism (depth of experience), and proof of results.

You too can share in this success. To receive a short summary of the business plan, e-mail me at admin@sunnycomfort.com and we'll get that right out to you. If everything makes sense and you'd like to take the next step, we'll put you in touch with our subscription agent and they can provide the complete information for you. Free yourself from the train wreckage and be in touch.
