Our definition of a REAL Tax Shelter is an investment you would want to own even if there were no tax advantage. Our definition of a REAL Tax Shelter is an investment which will provide returns for many years — long after the immediate tax advantages are forgotten.

In this sense our “TAX SHELTER” recommendation is time- ly, but it is also urgent. It is available on a “first come, first served" basis until September 24, 1993.
