Another Way to Profit as Your 401(k) Faces a Freeze

A new Financial Times/Harris Poll found that 59% of Americans are more concerned over the safety of their retirement income than they were this time last year. And for good reason…

The Wall Street Journal found that 401(k) managers are now starting to freeze individual plans. Meaning if you wanted to take a portion of your savings out ahead of time, you wouldn't be allowed to.

In some cases, even if you were at retirement age, you still wouldn't be allowed access to your own money.

This is a scary situation if you paid into a 401(k). You aren't even allowed to take out your own money ― even if you were laid off and needed to. Meanwhile, the values of these accounts continue to fall as the market stagnates

Suppose you could collect up to $120,000 or more in work-free "paychecks" per year, every single year... for the rest of your life.

On average, you could get these checks every 12 days.

For as long as you need them... at any age.

And you can even pass this steady stream of annual cash on to your spouse, your children, even your grandchildren. In fact many of America's richest families already do exactly that.

Wouldn't that go a long way toward helping you forget about the special treatment those Wall Street jerks are lapping up, right about now?

And here's the thing... even though this is easy to do... so few people know about this right now. Although I'm willing to bet that's about to change, and quickly...

The Best "Little-Talked-About" Lifetime Income Secret I've Ever Come Across

Let me start by saying that, even though we're smack in the middle of the most devastating market shakedown since the 1930s, this is easily the best time in history for you to hear about this "little-talked-about" secret.

How so?

For one thing, these "Plan B Pensions" I'd like to reveal to you have a long and proven track record over time. But even little-known ability to completely outclass conventional fixed-benefit pension plans.

Just take a look at the comparison in this chart...

As you can see, "Plan B Pensions" give you many, many times more options for rebalancing your portfolio in a shifting market than you'll see in either the classic plans or more modern versions, like the 401(k) approach.

What's more, unlike those better-known approaches, with a "Plan B Pension," you'll never butt your head against age limits, withdrawal penalties or participation restrictions.

It's also automatic.

Once you set up your "Plan B Pension," it starts running itself.

What else? Even now... you can start getting your income "paychecks" doing this as often as every 12 days, starting with the next payout date on March 14, 2009.

In fact, in the free copy of The 10-Minute Retirement Recovery Plan: Six Easy Ways To Lock In Steady Income Checks For the Rest of Your Life I'll send you, I can show you six different "Plan B Pension" programs you're invited to join right now.

I'm not personally affiliated with any of them. But after a lot of research and analysis ― all of which I'll share with you ― these six moves are easily the best "Plan B" opportunities you'll find on the market today.

And by the way, you don't need a lot of money to get started.

You can start some of these "Plan B Pension" programs with as little as $10.

How does that sound?

And once you're set up, you could collect as many as 38 "Plan B Pension paychecks" over the next 12 months alone... with more of the same every year to come.

The checks keep coming for as long as you need them.

You can even get "matched" gains with these plans... much like a typical 401(k) plan... but without having to work a single day for the companies that will pay into your account.

Some of these "plans" even reward you with fat discounts on the top stocks fo 2010 you've chosen, well below what others pay to own the same shares on the open market.

In itself, that's like getting an instant gain on the day you buy shares. It's also a special "perk" reserved only for members of these "plans."

What's more...

You Can Collect "Plan B Pension" Checks as Often as Every 12 Days

Even if you just stick with the six "Plan B Pension" opportunities I'll reveal to you... over the next five minutes... that alone could start you off with checks as frequent as every 12 days.

Let me show you more of these opportunities and you could start collecting even more often... and with even greater results. I'm ready to give you my research right now.

In fact, I'll send you the details on the six "Plan B Pension" moves I just mentioned at no charge. Just as soon as you give me your permission. Details on that in just a moment.

But first, let's take an even closer look at how doing this ― using a "Plan B Pension" ― can give anyone an advantage of the much more common moves most of us are used to.

Take, for instance, the classic "defined-benefit" pension plan.

You know how these work. Or at least, you do if you've got a good memory. Because, you see, these same classic company pensions ― given out like golden parachutes to parents and grandparents ― have all but disappeared today.

In just the 10 years from 1994�2004, the total number of defined-benefit pension plans fell by half ― from 59,000 to just 28,000. Today that number is even lower, with more old-school pensions set to get wiped out over the rest of 2009.

The idea of getting a "fixed-benefit" check for life was great. But a benefit that disappears when you need it is no benefit at all! Anyone who worked years for the promise of a classic pension got rooked. And now a lot of these people face hard times ahead.

The same is true if you were "duped" into accepting the modern-day alternative, the so-called 401(k). You know these plans all too well, I'm sure.

About 30 years ago, companies came up with 401(k) plans because they seemed like a great way to slash exposure to classic pension obligations... while giving employees a chance to manage their own retirements.

Guess what happened.

Today, top economists are calling 401(k) plans a "failed experiment." And The Wall Street Journal recently reported that today's credit crunch has already wiped out over $2 trillion in these 401(k) accounts alone ― with more big slippage to come!

Over 60% of Americans depend on 401(k) plans for retirement. Many have seen them lopped in half, with little time left to make up the lost ground.

What's more, with these more common kinds of plans, you can easily get stuck putting your eggs in only one basket, if you've worked with only one employer. Or two or three, at the most, if you've put in the years at more than one job.

That's not at all the case with a "Plan B Pension."

First of all, "Plan B Pensions" can move with you the day you get started. They're yours to control and yours to draw from whenever and wherever you like. You control the size of the checks. You control how many you get. You control how fast the wealth pile grows.

With no limits based on your age, whom you work for or how many of these programs you'd like to tap at one time. There are over 1,020 of these "Plan B Pension" plans in America.

You can enroll in as many of them as you like.

All at once or switching between them until you find ones you prefer.

It's literally up to you. And I can help you choose the best possible ones to follow, starting with the six "Plan B Pension" opportunities I'm ready to name for you at the end of this letter.

You can collect "retirement paychecks" not just from one company... but from as many companies as you like... even the ones you've never worked for a single day in your life.

This is a "work-free" strategy. Except for the work you'll do to set it up ― which is only about as much as it takes to set up a bank account.

It's really that simple. Even though doing this now could give you astounding, life-lasting results.

Here's something else...

How "Plan B Pensions" Can Double Your Wealth

Forbes reported a study...

In other words, "Plan B Pension" helped double the size of those gains over time.

Despite the '87 market bust... the S&L banking crisis and first Bush recession... the currency crash of '97 and the dot-com bubble... Sept. 11 and the start of this most recent real estate bust...

What's more, the best of these "Plan B Pension" programs just keep on paying straight through the current credit crunch. With checks that could be landing in your accounts right now.

And unlike typical pensions or 401(k)s, "Plan B Pensions" don't quit working for you when you retire. That is, you can keep putting money in and taking it out as you like.

Growing it, tweaking it, even spending it... as you see fit.

There's no penalty for early withdrawal.

And no age or employment restriction when you get in or out.

Start now, and even with just the six special moves I've promised to show you, you can already start collecting a "Plan B Pension" payout as often as every 12 days.

Plus, with many of these "Plan B Pension" plans, you can also...

Collect an Instant "Matching" Bonus With Each Payout

One big draw on 401(k) programs is supposed to be the "matching" dollars some companies throw in when employees use the plans to set money aside.

When it works, it's a great benefit. But right now, cash-strapped companies have started slashing those "matching" benefits too. Again, a benefit you don't get... is no benefit at all.

The thing is, "Plan B Pensions" also offer your own kind of "matching." Because many of the 1,020 "plans" you can choose from "match" your gains by as much as 10%... with each regular payout.

This can be like "free money"... piled up on top of what you're already making.

Why would any "Plan B Pension" operator want to give you a bonus out his own pocket? Simple. When you participate in these "plans," the companies that back them get lots of benefits too.

A more stable share price. Long-term shareholder loyalty. A reliable pool of capital. A blue-chip reputation and market respectability. The list could go on.

And in exchange for that loyalty and stability... especially when we're looking at unpredictable markets that could last for years to come... they're willing to pay out of their massive, tucked-away cash piles to "thank" you for staying on board.

Maybe you're thinking only a few lucky insiders or elite market players can wiggle their way onto these "Plan B Pension" payrolls. But anyone can do this. Just by taking the steps I'll show you to get on board.

It works at any age or income level. With starting amounts as little as $10. And work-free, meaning you don't have to work for or even be directly associated with any of these companies in any other way to participate.

Some Americans quietly use this "personal pension" to beef up the regular retirement pensions they already collect... others use it to quit working and retire well before 65... still more use it to replace typical sponsored retirement strategies completely, while "personal pension" incomes as high as $120,000 and higher... for as long as they desire.

Kim Kundra collected $11,611 in one month. And the same again 30 days later. And then two checks, each for nearly $12,000 over the next eight weeks after that.

Gary Malina's "personal pension" so far placed checks worth $22,919 into his account ― not once but twice this year, along with at least two more checks, each worth more than $21,500.

Paul Meure's last monthly "personal pension paycheck" gave him $16,074.

As of October, just one of the companies in Mike Pressman's "personal pension" had already paid him $65,269.

Larry Piero's latest "personal pension paycheck" clocked in at just under $26,993. And that's only one of several he'll collect this year.

John Harrington just collected $16,336 on one of his "personal pension paychecks." Tom Skane took in $33,920 all in one go. And Gerald Amoss clocked in with $42,052.

And in each case, these amounts are just a small glimpse of the totals they'll collect this year... even after everything that's already happened on Wall Street.

There's zero limit on how many of these income streams you lock in at once...

Two, three... a dozen.

It's really up to you to mix and match them to your liking. And the door is open to you, once you know how to enroll. Get set up now and you could start receiving checks immediately.

(For the six opportunities I'll show you, that next payout date is March 14, 2009).

The Ultimate Retirement Recovery Plan

Before you start jumping to conclusions, don't think that "Plan B Pensions" have anything to do with the risky bond investing or measly T-Bill returns.

Nor do I want you to get it into your head that we're talking about tinkering with money markets, low-paying CDs, risking options, or questionable insurance annuity strategies.

"Plan B Pensions" have nothing to do with these.

Instead, you're looking at more than 1,020 of these special "Plan B Pension" ways to directly draw income "paychecks" with the blessing of some of the biggest, most cash-rich and reliable companies in America. And over 600 of these dividend-compounding programs can also offer you the accelerated "instant matching" gains we've talked about.

Sure, not all "Plan B Pension" opportunities are right for everybody.

That's why I want to help you get started by sending you my full research on the six carefully selected "Plan B" moves that I've mentioned. You'll find all six detailed in my new report, called The 10-Minute Retirement Recovery Plan: Six Easy Ways To Lock In Steady Income Checks For the Rest of Your Life.

This is just one of the three reports you'll find in the full "Plan B Retirement Library" I want to send you. The whole set is yours right now, at no charge. I'm offering it to you free.

Just tell me where you'd like it mailed... or even better, follow the simple steps at the end of this letter so you can download it immediately, minutes from right now.

The first payout you can qualify for is due to come out very soon, and you can keep on drawing more checks as quickly as every 12 days after that, on average.

All told, the moves you'll read about in the report can total up to 38 checks this year... and each year that you decide to continue with what you'll read in my report.

Based on what I'll show you, you can do this without big risks. Without losing sleep over Wall Street catastrophes. Without giving yourself over to failed government retirement programs. And without breaking any rules or stepping on anybody's toes.

The companies who want to pay you are just as eager for you to do this as you are to try it. And everything you need to decide for yourself, you'll find in your free copy of The 10-Minute Retirement Recovery Plan: Six Easy Ways To Lock In Steady Income Checks For the Rest of Your Life.

I'll show you how to send for it in just a moment.

But first...

The Lifelong Income Secret That Couldn't Have Come at a Better Time

If you still think the "old school" plans will still deliver on their promises, just take another look at the wasted landscape of today's American financial scene...

Across America, thousands of old school pensions have gone belly up. And the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp ― the government agency that insures those retirements ― has already slipped over $14 billion in the red. And this was before the stock market plunged!

401(k) plans, of course, aren't insured at all. With more than $2 trillion in those retirement accounts already gone, it's not looking good. That money could simply be erased forever.

Meanwhile, D.C. bureaucrats continue to blow hundreds of billions more on one ill-planned bailout after another... while decimating the future spending power of every nickel you set aside.

Ten years from today, every $100k you have saved could only get you as little as $35,859 buys today... and in twice that time, it could be worth as little as $12,859 is today. Without a matching rise in Social Security payouts.

Dignified health care? Forget about it. Luxurious retirement vacations? Beach houses? Big graduation blowouts for the grandkids? Millions of Americans will be lucky if they can go to the grocery store without clutching a calculator in their hands.

Over the last 100 years, our own government has stolen more than 95.2 cents of purchasing power out of every dollar... just to fund their own waste... and that's quickly made a long healthy retirement a liability in America!

The financial statements you don't want to open... the pile of backed-up credit card bills... wrecked housing values and disappearing jobs... impossible healthcare...

Even before the latest financial crisis, millions of Americans didn't even have a "Plan A" for retirement... let alone a "Plan B." The retirement savings of a typical Boomer, for instance, totals just $38,000.

That's everything, even Social Security.

Even Boomers with money in 401(k) type plans have just $88,000 set aside... not enough to generate more than $5,000 per year once they stop working.

Could you live on $5,000 a year?

But let's assume you're one of those smart individuals who did get ready. You started early. And you put your eggs where everybody said they would do just fine.

Energy. China. Index funds.

Only to see much of those short-term gains evaporate. Along with the equity you counted on in your house. Now that's gone too. College funds? Retirement funds? Pummeled beyond recognition... if not gone completely.

My point is this...

If you want security without sacrifice... if you need the income you counted on and then some... if you were counting on living at least as well as you do now, if not better... and if you want to have a prayer of leaving something for your grandchildren...

Then you can't count on anybody else.

You need another way to win back your financial security.

And I can't think of a smarter, better way for you to do this than by tapping into the power of "Plan B Pensions." Sooner rather than later. And you can do this easily, starting with the six moves you'll find in your free copy of The 10-Minute Retirement Recovery Plan: Six Easy Ways To Lock In Steady Income Checks For the Rest of Your Life.

Once you've had a chance to look that over, dig into the rest of the three free reports I want to send you in my new "Plan B Retirement Library."

This entire set is also yours at no charge. And I'd love to get it into your hands, as quickly as possible, because I'm that eager for you to discover the rest of what you'll find inside...

The Quick Retirement "Catch-up" Strategy Everybody Is Talking About

Doing what I'll show you is easy.

In fact, it's automatic.

You just set it up and the checks start coming. One after another, with a check arriving every 12 days on average ― for up to 38 checks just in the next 12 months.

But what I find even better is the opportunity this will give you to pile up even more "future" wealth too. Especially once you factor in the combined growth and instant "matching" gains we've already talked about.

Take a look at this chart...

As you can see, a regular interest-paying account can take $10,000 and more than double it. But it would take close to 30 years. Too long for even someone who starts early.

You'd get a slightly better result if you put that same $10,000 in an account that compounds the interest. After the same period, you'd have over four times your money ― $10,000 growing into $41,161.

But let's suppose you were to take a "Plan B Pension" approach.

All other things being equal ― but with the steadily growing payouts we talked about ― the "Plan B Pension" strategy could turn that $10,000 into more than $5.4 million.

I don't have to tell you that smashes the results on the more boring moves. But in case you don't feel like doing the math... that's a showing of more than 132 times better!

How Does Turning $10,000 Into $5.4 Million Sound?

What happens as the base size of your wealth grows, inside of the "Plan B Pension?" Naturally, the already large income stream ― that is, each individual cash payout ― gets larger too.

It's like packing 35 years of retirement planning... into just a few years.

I lay it all out for you in the "Plan B Retirement Library" I'll send. But before I show you how to download this library of three reports, let me just run through what we're looking at so far...

"Plan B Pensions" let you "catch up" quickly, even after years of no savings

They're perfectly legal, even encouraged by America's best companies

There's no limit on how many of these income streams you're entitled to

You get to decide exactly how big you want your regular "paychecks" to be

You even decide how often and how many of these checks you'll receive

This "plan" pays you cash right now ― without touching your principal

Even in a falling market, you can use this to fill your bank account

There are no brokers or managers to go through (and no commissions)

You do this without options, insurance annuities, or low-paying money markets

You'll use, instead, a strategy preferred by countless millionaires

You can get unique "instant matching" gains with each payout

With this, your cash payouts grow over time, even if you don't put in another dime

On top of the income, it's also one of the smartest ways to grow long-term wealth

It's completely automatic ― you just set it up once and it runs itself, cranking out your checks

Market experts agree: "Plan B Pensions" are among the safest moves ever devised

Done right, you can even collect all or part of your payouts "tax-free" ― and I explain how in your free special reports.

As I said, there are over 1,020 of these special "plans" offered nationwide.

And more than 600 of them can offer you the sped-up "matching" gains I mentioned.

The sky's the limit on how many of these you lock into. Start collecting as many of these checks, in amounts only you help control, at any age and for as long as you like.

Without raising a single eyebrow, even though this can be...

Like Sneaking Your Own Fulltime Salary From the Payrolls of America's Safest Companies

Wal-Mart, Procter & Gamble, and Johnson & Johnson… Chevron, Microsoft, and ExxonMobil… these are just a few of the well-known companies sending out "Plan B Pension" checks to individual members of their plans.

However, there are many more I can show you. Some you'll know. Others will sound new to you. But I don't pick and choose the opportunities I'll tell you about based on a popularity contest.

Rather, I use my own proprietary seven-point analysis system to find these moves.

In fact, I'm watching several that I'm ready to share with you right now.

And I'll happily share more with you as they come along.

In each case, thanks to my proprietary seven-point analysis system, I'm able to target moves that can give off steady streams of income. And quickly. In fact, these checks can start arriving in just a few days from right now ― if you act quickly ― starting with the next "Plan B Pension" payout date, March 14, 2009.

To collect, you don't have to be an employee of any of these companies.

You don't have to be an insider or sit on the company board.

You don't need to qualify according to age or employment status.

You only need to follow the simple steps ― including filling out a simple form ― which I explain to you in full in your free "Plan B Retirement Library" set of reports.

But I know what you're wondering.

Why these companies... and why now?

The Best Time for This Alternate Income Strategy in Two Decades

Before I start showing you these "Plan B" opportunities in detail, let's just pause for a second so I can put something critical into perspective ― today's gloomy financial headlines.

There's no hiding the facts...

Everything from commodities to health care has taken a beating. As I write this, the Dow is down approximately 40%. Some with just months to go before retirement have seen their market savings slashed by half or worse.

Meanwhile, we're talking over $4 trillion in U.S. home equity evaporated since 2006. And a lot more downside to go over the rest of 2009 and possibly into 2010.

Yet this same horrible market offers you and me the best investment window in nearly 20 years for the kind of "Plan B Pension" strategy. How so?

See, while most publicly-traded companies constantly hunger for new shareholders ― especially in today's massive sell-off environment ― not all companies go about getting them in the same way.

Some count only on hype, headlines, and PR. Others drum up support with "buzz" on the trading floor. But there's another class of company that takes a different approach.

Instead of hopping on the stock-market treadmill, churning through wave after wave of new investors, these smarter companies look for "owner" shareholders... individuals who believe in the company and look like they'll stick around for the long haul.

And what kinds of companies are these?

Cash-rich. Well-established. Well-positioned. Safe and fundamentally solid. In the right industries at the right time. With a long history of doing good business, doling out cash as steady dividends, taking care of customers, and looking out for their shareholders.

Now, I know what you're thinking. Bonds and many funds pay income too. And that's true. Even if bonds typically only pay twice a year. And those funds, once a year.

And lots of companies pay dividends, some very high dividends. That's true too.

In fact, maybe you're familiar with the study from Ned Davis Research showing how, from 1972 to 2006, dividend paying companies in general did two and a half times better than companies that paid no income to shareholders.

But high dividends and even some medium dividend payers can also come with hidden levels of risk. What's more, many of them don't offer the added income growth and compounding advantages of the "Plan B Pension" plans I'm telling you about today.

It's this special combination of income growth and compounding ― a step beyond just collecting stock, bond, or fund income ― that famous Wharton Professor Dr. Jeremy Siegel credits with producing a whopping 97% of all the real money made on the S&P 500.

Do most market amateurs know this? They do not.

Of course, when it comes to finding the best of these "Plan B Pension" paying companies, lots of market amateurs ― and a few of the so-called pros ― have no idea where to look.

On your own, separating the best from the worst can be work.

That's why I've developed my own carefully crafted approach...

How You Could Lock in Lifetime Income, Using My Strategic Seven-Point Filtering System

Obviously not all income-paying plans get cut from the same cloth. Not all fit the "Plan B Pension" model either. That's why I've crafted what I consider the most bulletproof filtering system for finding reliable, consistent streams of market income...

Filter #1: The Largest Income Yield That Still Makes Sense ― Really high yields can signal far too much risk. Still, you can find some fat yields right now... paid out by some of the most fundamentally solid top stocks for 2010 on or off Wall Street. I don't stop looking once I find higher yields, but I certainly start there.

Filter #2: Bigger and Bigger Income Streams Over Time ― What's even better than regular "Plan B Pension" payouts? Payouts that get bigger and bigger over time. Not only because they speed up your wealth accumulation, but also because they're an excellent sign of a well-managed "Plan B" opportunity.

Filter #3: Cash Payouts Like Clockwork ― Checks that don't come aren't worth the paper they're not printed on. I stick with the "Plan B" opportunities that have a long history of paying out and paying on time. And I steer clear of those who don't.

Filter #4: Businesses Your Mother Could Love ― Short-sighted market players may have forgotten what makes for a best stock, but it's just as basic as ever ― lots of cash, very little or no debt, a steady flow of business, and low expense ratios. I don't touch anything that can't pass those benchmarks. And you shouldn't either.

Filter #5: The Right Industry For the Right Time ― Let's face it. Some top stocks for 2010 work for the long term, and work hard. Others work best in some kinds of markets, and a little less than others. I don't try to time markets. But if something looks extra ripe for solid growth and can pay us cash payouts, I see no reason to hold back.

Filter #6: Payouts as Big as They're Supposed to Be ― Some kinds of "Plan B" companies will have a lot of cash to fork over to you. Others, on a percentage basis, should fork over less. It depends on the businesses they're in. If they're paying more or less than they should, that's a red flag you have to know to watch for.

Filter #7: The Absolute Best Share Price ― Even companies that can put steady cash in your pocket have a fair price. I don't recommend paying a nickel more when you don't have to.

It's no coincidence the most successful and well-known market mega-players in history favor these kinds of companies, in good markets and bad.

It's also no coincidence that right now, these companies are exactly the ones offering the biggest rewards to both new and loyal shareholders... with some of the biggest "Plan B Pension" payouts in 17 years... simply because, especially in this market, these income-payers are eager to attract the "best" kinds of shareholders possible.

It's really that simple. And I can start showing you how to find these companies right now, as soon as you're ready. With a brand new service I've just created, called the Lifetime Income Report.

This new service uses my special seven-point filtering strategy to find you the best income streams possible ― including the "Plan B Pension" payouts we've talked about.

I'd like you to be one of the first to give Lifetime Income Report a try.

To help encourage you, not only will I rush you the free "Plan B Retirement Library"... I'll guarantee your satisfaction 100%... in not just one, but three very specific ways.

"Plan B Pension" Guaranteed Opportunity #1: "Current Cash" You Can Start Spending Right Now

What's the worst part about planning for tomorrow?

Having nothing left to spend right now.

The first thing I'll start showing you in my new Lifetime Income Report service is that it's possible for you to build future wealth... and still have right-now cash... at the same time.

No more punishing early-withdrawal fees. No nasty memos from 401(k) administrators. And you don't need to wait until you're 65 to get paid. This is money you can spend today.

(With your first check arriving as soon as 12 days from right now.)

You Could Get Cash Payouts as Often as Every 12 Days

The following list shows scheduled cash payout dates, based on past results, for the six "Plan B Pension" programs I've identified for you, in the "Plan B Retirement Library" I'd love to send:

In fact, as soon as you agree to try the new Lifetime Income Report research letter... and send for the free "Plan B Retirement Library" set of bonus reports... you'll find included a second report called, Income You Can Count On.

This is your instant primer to everything we'll do together, giving you a chance to piece together a whole fortress of income-driven financial security... while still tapping a stream of immediate cash income.

One of the first things I'll walk you through is what I call my "Current Cash" portfolio.

This is where I track income streams specifically designed to pay the largest possible immediate "Plan B" payouts. We'll use this portfolio to target faster growth and bigger income, right out of the gate.

This is the "right now" part of the program you'll discover just as soon as you send for your FREE "Plan B Retirement Library"... and your "100% Triple-Guaranteed" trial issues of the Lifetime Income Report.

But it gets even better...

"Plan B Pension" Guaranteed Opportunity #2: Self-Renewing Wealth, Even in Flat Markets

Have you ever noticed that some people just work too hard to get rich?

Think about it.

The wealthiest American families... the multi-millionaires and billionaires who hit the headlines... don't really work that much harder or longer than you.

Some even seem to get wealthier... doing nothing.

Except maybe letting their money make more money, all by itself.

How do they do it?

The thing is, using the secrets I'll show you in your FREE "Plan B Retirement Library" and in first issues of my new Lifetime Income Report research letter... you see how you too could also collect similar kinds of "no show" wealth.

Just like those wealth insiders.

Collect in your sleep. Collect long after you've retired. Collect from the front porch of your house on the beach... or the deck of your new sailboat or fishing cruiser.

How many times have you heard of someone who "sits on the board" of a half-dozen companies, raking in best stock option riches while he trolls the golf courses and knocks back champagne at top clubs and restaurants?

The simple strategy you'll find in your FREE reports and first issues shows you the simple formula for putting together as many multiple work-free "paychecks." Allowing you, too, to pile up lots of money that works so you don't have to...

Wealth That Never Retires

I call this kind of self-growing wealth "Legacy Income"...

In each issue of your trial subscription to the new Lifetime Income Report you'll find a second "Legacy Income" portfolio, designed to help you load up on this kind of wealth that can automatically continue to grow.

And no, don't think I'm just talking about the miracle of compound interest. That's an extremely powerful tool. But this is better. And it can work for you, much faster.

Einstein may have called compound interest "the most powerful force in the Universe"... but this is like compound interest on steroids.

And my new Lifetime Income Report will make it simple for you to learn how it works, should you choose to try this yourself.

Not just with how to collect this kind of "Legacy Income" over time... or the "Current Cash" we talked about... but also in a third way, with something I can only call "Special Income."

"Plan B Pension" Guaranteed Opportunity #3: "Special Income" Others Leave On The Table

What's "Special Income?"

It's the pile of income payouts other investors simply leave on the table.

These little-talked-about income payout opportunities don't come on a schedule. You won't read about them much in the paper either, until they're already doled out and it's too late to collect.

But when you can tap these "special income" opportunities... it can be like getting a surprise windfall... a bonus... even a check from a wealthy relative or a fat premium on the sale of a big asset, like a luxury car or investment property.

The companies that offer you this special kind of income usually get the money themselves from winning a piece of corporate litigation, making a major sale, having an especially good financial quarter, and so on... in an unexpected glut of cash.

Naturally "special income" opportunities are harder to spot.

But then, there's that old saying... "It's amazing how lucky I get when I work 16 hours a day."

In other words, to catch a fat "special income" payout, you need to stand in the right place at the right time. But if you let me do the research work for you, there's a good chance I can show you where to stand.

The third portfolio you'll find when you try my brand new Lifetime Income Report service is what I call our "Special Income Portfolio"... and it's where I'll line up "special income" opportunities on the brink of spilling cash into shareholder accounts.

That's three different kinds of potential lifetime income I can start revealing to you immediately, the moment you let me know you're ready to get started.

From the short to long term.

And only the highest quality opportunities I can find...

My Six Favorite "Plan B Pension" Income Streams Right Now

You'll find my six favorite "Plan B Pension" payout programs right now... in your free copy of The 10-Minute Retirement Recovery Plan: Six Easy Ways To Lock In Steady Income Checks For the Rest of Your Life.

This free report is just one of the three reports included with your instant "Plan B Retirement Library" bonus. And it's yours at no charge whatsoever, the moment you accept my invitation.

Here's a small taste of the kinds of wealth moves you'll find inside...

A North Carolina based "Plan B Pension" plan that's increased the size of its cash payouts to members every year since 1978 ― that's 30 years straight ― and that doesn't include the instant 5% gain you could make every time you use their zero-fee plan to pick up more shares

Easily the most popular "Plan B Pension" opportunity in America, this 39-year old company has sent its members cash "paychecks" each of the 458 months in a row… and they've bumped up the amount in those checks 51 times since 1994

A "Plan B Pension" plan that's handed out cash payouts to its members steadily every year for the last 38 years straight. And backed by a business that couldn't be safer, because they dominate 75% of the massive, worldwide market for the household product they make

A "Plan B Pension" plan that the London Financial Times is calling a kind of safe haven in the latest global financial storm. This one plan has steadily doled out bigger and bigger cash payouts to members, every year since 1997

A major play on the Brazil boom, with a "Plan B Pension" plan that could give you nearly double-digit income, with the safety of a solid energy company. This could easily be a way to pick streams of steady cash you can spend as you like

A "Plan B Pension" play so popular, it has over $3.8 billion in the program and offers regular cash payouts that are already 16% larger than they were in October of last year… for a total of nearly 12% payouts on every dollar you put in the program, regularly paid to your account.

Again, all six of these are fully detailed in your free copy of The 10-Minute Retirement Recovery Plan: Six Easy Ways To Lock In Steady Income Checks For the Rest of Your Life ― which you're welcome to download or have mailed to you, the moment you sign on.

I can't wait for you to try this for yourself.

The Simple Secret That Could Pay Your Retirement Millions

Of course, you don't need to wait until you get your free reports to see the evidence behind this approach. For instance, let's say you had used the "Plan B Pension" strategy to pick up 160 shares of Pepsi in 1980.

It would have cost you $4,000.

However, that amount would have automatically grown to over $300,000 by 2004, without you investing another penny. Not bad?

Now let's try the same with Philip Morris... starting with the same dollar amount, which would have amounted to 58 shares. By the time you'd finished, your $4,000 would have ballooned to nearly $600,000... and over 4,300 shares.

Without you putting in an extra nickel.

Here's another one. Say you put $5,000 into a company called Terra Nitrogen in 2003. That's 1,136 shares at the then-price of $4.40 per share. Today the share price has exploded to $110 per share. Pretty good. But the "Plan B Pension" income on top of that could have exploded your $5,000 into $151,026 in just five years.

Like I said, it's an almost perfect self-growing cycle.

Like a tree that waters and fertilizes itself.

Take a look at a few more...

One of the moves I've tracked since Jan. 2005 would have grown every dollar you put in 155%. Not bad. But make that same move using a "Plan B Pension" strategy and you would have more than tripled your money, for a total net gain of 244.8%. Much better

Another move I'm tracking has already issued enough "Plan B Pension" income checks... from 2003 until now... to cover double what it might have cost to get in... plus the shares in this one plan alone, over that same time period, also shot up another 329%. Even now, I see this as a steady income-payer for years to come

One more of the many possible "Plan B Pensions" I've just tracked has cranked up the size of the income it pays out with every single check, steadily for the last 10 years... already, had you started getting your checks in 1998, you'd collect nearly 40% more per check right now, above what you earned when just getting started. It's like getting an automatic pay raise that you don't have to lift a finger to earn.

Over the last 80 years, regular hot stocks for 2010 could have turned $10,000 into about $1,013,000. Fold in the kind of income that you can get with these kinds of "Plan B Pensions" and $10,000 grows to a dazzling $24,113,000.

And that includes results in all kinds of markets.

The Only Money Strategy That "Works" In Good Times or Bad

One study shows "Plan B Pension" companies can consistently double the gains other individuals get following the S&P 500 alone.

And not just in the "best" years, but over the period between 1970 and 2005... which included at least seven bear markets... a half-dozen wars and minor military skirmishes... on-again-off-again energy crises... countless rate hikes... and piles of political scandal...

In a down market, you'll see the market flock to "Plan B Pension" companies for cash. In up markets, "Plan B Pension" companies have even bigger cash piles to divvy up.

Even in a flat market, you can do well with a "Plan B Pension"... because it's the one way you can be sure that no matter what happens, you qualify to get paid.

Just looking at the last two decades, the kinds of moves you'll make with the "Plan B Pension" approach accounted for more than half of the total return on the S&P 500.

This is the best way to reward steady, cool-headed market players I know of.

And yet...

Collect Up To $120,000 Per Year For Life

The bottom has dropped out on Wall Street - and most likely, it took a good chunk of your retirement money with it.

Clearly, the "old way" of planning for your retirement is out of the question at this point - not to mention the desire to leave some wealth behind for your children or grandchildren.

You are going to have to fend for yourself - and if you want to win back your personal financial security, you are going to have to turn to 'Plan B'...more specifically, "Plan B Pensions."

Across America millions of Americans are at a loss about what to do next.

Your average Baby Boomer had just $38,000 set aside for retirement.

And that was before the market blew up!

Even Boomers with conventional 401(k) plans had just $88,000 on average.

That works out to about $5,000 per year in interest income once they stop working.

Could you live on $5,000 per year?

Neither could I.

Meanwhile, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. ― the government agency that insures old-school retirement pension plans ― says the company pension plans were already $14 billion in the hole before the bottom dropped out on Wall Street.

So even those "insured" futures look like a catastrophe.

Even if you did everything "right" and put your money in energy... China... or index funds... you've taken a battering, following the so-called "safe" approach.

It hardly seems fair, does it?

What with billions spent on pointless bailouts... dignified health care impossible, even if you've shelled out all your life for insurance... dollar-backed savings "stolen" out from under your nose by inflation and reckless government spending...

My point is simple.

If you want security without sacrifice... if you need the income you counted on and then some... if you were counting on living at least as well as you do now, if not better... and if you want to have a prayer of leaving something for your grandchildren... you cannot count on anybody else.

You need another way to win back personal financial security. And I can't think of a smarter way for you to do it that to tap the power of what I call "Plan B Pensions."

What are "Plan B Pensions?"

I'd like to show you in a brand new special report I want to send you.

It's free and it's called, The 10-Minute Retirement Recovery Plan: Six Easy Ways To Lock In Steady Income Checks For the Rest of Your Life.

Inside it shows you six ways to tap a strategy that can put a new retirement income "paycheck" into your account, on average, every 12 days... for as much as $120,000 in post-retirement income each year... for the rest of your life.

Even if your common pension plan fails. Even if your 401(k) never completely recovers from today's total market wipeout. It's all in the free report I'll send.

And once you've had a chance to look that over, you can dig into three more free reports I'll give you, all as a part of my new "Plan B Retirement Library."

This entire set is yours at no charge. There's only one catch.

I need to hear from you by March 14, 2009.

Why?

I'll explain in just a second.

But first let me show you how this "Plan B" strategy works...

The Best "Little-Talked-About" Lifetime Income Secret I've Ever Come Across

Let me start by saying that, even though we're smack in the middle of the most devastating market shakedown since the 1930s, this is easily the best time in history for you to hear about this "little-talked-about" secret.

How so?

For one thing, these "Plan B Pensions" I'd like to reveal to you have a long and proven track record over time. But even little-known ability to completely outclass conventional fixed-benefit pension plans.

As you can see, "Plan B Pensions" give you many, many times more options for rebalancing your portfolio in a shifting market than you'll see in either the classic plans or more modern versions, like the 401(k) approach.

What's more, unlike those better-known approaches, with a "Plan B Pension," you'll never butt your head against age limits, withdrawal penalties or participation restrictions.

It's also automatic.

Once you set up your "Plan B Pension," it starts running itself.

What else? Even now... you can start getting your income "paychecks" doing this as often as every 12 days, starting with the next payout date on March 14, 2009.

In fact, in the free copy of The 10-Minute Retirement Recovery Plan: Six Easy Ways To Lock In Steady Income Checks For the Rest of Your Life I'll send you, I can show you six different "Plan B Pension" programs you're invited to join right now.

I'm not personally affiliated with any of them. But after a lot of research and analysis ― all of which I'll share with you ― these six moves are easily the best "Plan B" opportunities you'll find on the market today.

And by the way, you don't need a lot of money to get started.

You can start some of these "Plan B Pension" programs with as little as $10.

How does that sound?

And once you're set up, you could collect as many as 38 "Plan B Pension paychecks" over the next 12 months alone... with more of the same every year to come.

The checks keep coming for as long as you need them.

You can even get "matched" gains with these plans... much like a typical 401(k) plan... but without having to work a single day for the companies that will pay into your account.

Some of these "plans" even reward you with fat discounts on the stocks you've chosen, well below what others pay to own the same shares on the open market.

In itself, that's like getting an instant gain on the day you buy shares. It's also a special "perk" reserved only for members of these "plans."

What's more...

You Can Collect "Plan B Pension" Checks as Often as Every 12 Days

Even if you just stick with the six "Plan B Pension" opportunities I'll reveal to you... over the next five minutes... that alone could start you off with checks as frequent as every 12 days.

Let me show you more of these opportunities and you could start collecting even more often... and with even greater results. I'm ready to give you my research right now.

In fact, I'll send you the details on the six "Plan B Pension" moves I just mentioned at no charge. Just as soon as you give me your permission. Details on that in just a moment.

But first, let's take an even closer look at how doing this ― using a "Plan B Pension" ― can give anyone an advantage of the much more common moves most of us are used to.

Take, for instance, the classic "defined-benefit" pension plan.

You know how these work. Or at least, you do if you've got a good memory. Because, you see, these same classic company pensions ― given out like golden parachutes to parents and grandparents ― have all but disappeared today.

In just the 10 years from 1994�2004, the total number of defined-benefit pension plans fell by half ― from 59,000 to just 28,000. Today that number is even lower, with more old-school pensions set to get wiped out over the rest of 2009.

The idea of getting a "fixed-benefit" check for life was great. But a benefit that disappears when you need it is no benefit at all! Anyone who worked years for the promise of a classic pension got rooked. And now a lot of these people face hard times ahead.

The same is true if you were "duped" into accepting the modern-day alternative, the so-called 401(k). You know these plans all too well, I'm sure.

About 30 years ago, companies came up with 401(k) plans because they seemed like a great way to slash exposure to classic pension obligations... while giving employees a chance to manage their own retirements.

Guess what happened.

Today, top economists are calling 401(k) plans a "failed experiment." And The Wall Street Journal recently reported that today's credit crunch has already wiped out over $2 trillion in these 401(k) accounts alone ― with more big slippage to come!

Over 60% of Americans depend on 401(k) plans for retirement. Many have seen them lopped in half, with little time left to make up the lost ground.

What's more, with these more common kinds of plans, you can easily get stuck putting your eggs in only one basket, if you've worked with only one employer. Or two or three, at the most, if you've put in the years at more than one job.

That's not at all the case with a "Plan B Pension."

First of all, "Plan B Pensions" can move with you the day you get started. They're yours to control and yours to draw from whenever and wherever you like. You control the size of the checks. You control how many you get. You control how fast the wealth pile grows.

With no limits based on your age, whom you work for or how many of these programs you'd like to tap at one time. There are over 1,020 of these "Plan B Pension" plans in America.

You can enroll in as many of them as you like.

All at once or switching between them until you find ones you prefer.

It's literally up to you. And I can help you choose the best possible ones to follow, starting with the six "Plan B Pension" opportunities I'm ready to name for you at the end of this letter.

You can collect "retirement paychecks" not just from one company... but from as many companies as you like... even the ones you've never worked for a single day in your life.

This is a "work-free" strategy. Except for the work you'll do to set it up ― which is only about as much effort as it takes to set up a bank account.

It's really that simple. Even though doing this now could give you astounding, life-lasting results.

Here's something else...

How "Plan B Pensions" Can Double Your Wealth

Forbes reported a study...

In other words, "Plan B Pension" helped double the size of those gains over time.

Despite the '87 market bust... the S&L banking crisis and first Bush recession... the currency crash of '97 and the dot-com bubble... Sept. 11 and the start of this most recent real estate bust...

What's more, the best of these "Plan B Pension" programs just keep on paying straight through the current credit crunch. With checks that could be landing in your accounts right now.

And unlike typical pensions or 401(k)s, "Plan B Pensions" don't quit working for you when you retire. That is, you can keep putting money in and taking it out as you like.

Growing it, tweaking it, even spending it... as you see fit.

There's no penalty for early withdrawal.

And no age or employment restriction when you get in or out.

Start now, and even with just the six special moves I've promised to show you, you can already start collecting a "Plan B Pension" payout as often as every 12 days.

Plus, with many of these "Plan B Pension" plans, you can also...

Collect an Instant "Matching" Bonus With Each Payout

One big draw on 401(k) programs is supposed to be the "matching" dollars some companies throw in when employees use the plans to set money aside.

When it works, it's a great benefit. But right now, cash-strapped companies have started slashing those "matching" benefits too. Again, a benefit you don't get... is no benefit at all.

The thing is, "Plan B Pensions" also offer your own kind of "matching." Because many of the 1,020+ "plans" you can choose from "match" your gains by as much as 10%... with each regular payout.

This can be like "free money"... piled up on top of what you're already making.

Why would any "Plan B Pension" operator want to give you a bonus out his own pocket? Simple. When you participate in these "plans," the companies that back them get lots of benefits too.

A more stable share price. Long-term shareholder loyalty. A reliable pool of capital. A blue-chip reputation and market respectability. The list could go on.

And in exchange for that loyalty and stability... especially when we're looking at unpredictable markets that could last for years to come... they're willing to pay out of their massive, tucked-away cash piles to "thank" you for staying on board.

Maybe you're thinking only a few lucky insiders or elite market players can wiggle their way onto these "Plan B Pension" payrolls. But anyone can do this. Just by taking the steps I'll show you to get on board.

It works at any age or income level. With starting amounts as little as $10. And work-free, meaning you don't have to work for or even be directly associated with any of these companies in any other way to participate.

Some Americans quietly use this "personal pension" to beef up the regular retirement pensions they already collect... others use it to quit working and retire well before 65... still more use it to replace typical sponsored retirement strategies completely, while "personal pension" incomes as high as $120,000 and higher... for as long as they desire.

Kim Kundra collected $11,611 in one month. And the same again 30 days later. And then two checks, each for nearly $12,000 over the next eight weeks after that.

Gary Malina's "personal pension" so far placed checks worth $22,919 into his account ― not once but twice this year, along with at least two more checks, each worth more than $21,500.

Paul Meure's last monthly "personal pension paycheck" gave him $16,074.

As of October, just one of the companies in Mike Pressman's "personal pension" had already paid him $65,269.

Larry Piero's latest "personal pension paycheck" clocked in at just under $26,993. And that's only one of several he'll collect this year.

John Harrington just collected $16,336 on one of his "personal pension paychecks." Tom Skane took in $33,920 all in one go. And Gerald Amoss clocked in with $42,052.

And in each case, these amounts are just a small glimpse of the totals they'll collect this year... even after everything that's already happened on Wall Street.

There's zero limit on how many of these income streams you lock in at once...

Two, three... a dozen.

It's really up to you to mix and match them to your liking. And the door is open to you, once you know how to enroll. Get set up now and you could start receiving checks immediately.

(For the six opportunities I'll show you, that next payout date is Feb. 9, 2009).

The Ultimate Retirement Recovery Plan

Before you start jumping to conclusions, don't think that "Plan B Pensions" have anything to do with the risky bond investing or measly T-Bill returns.

Nor do I want you to get it into your head that we're talking about tinkering with money markets, low-paying CDs, risking options, or questionable insurance annuity strategies.

"Plan B Pensions" have nothing to do with these.

Instead, you're looking at more than 1,020 of these special "Plan B Pension" ways to directly draw income "paychecks" with the blessing of some of the biggest, most cash-rich and reliable companies in America. And over 600 of these dividend-compounding programs can also offer you the accelerated "instant matching" gains we've talked about.

Sure, not all "Plan B Pension" opportunities are right for everybody.

That's why I want to help you get started by sending you my full research on the six carefully selected "Plan B" moves that I've mentioned. You'll find all six detailed in my new report, called The 10-Minute Retirement Recovery Plan: Six Easy Ways To Lock In Steady Income Checks For the Rest of Your Life.

This is just one of the three reports you'll find in the full "Plan B Retirement Library" I want to send you. The whole set is yours right now, at no charge. I'm offering it to you free.

Just tell me where you'd like it mailed... or even better, follow the simple steps at the end of this letter so you can download it immediately, minutes from right now.

The first payout you can qualify for is due to come out very soon, and you can keep on drawing more checks as quickly as every 12 days after that, on average.

All told, the moves you'll read about in the report can total up to 38 checks this year... and each year that you decide to continue with what you'll read in my report.

Based on what I'll show you, you can do this without big risks. Without losing sleep over Wall Street catastrophes. Without giving yourself over to failed government retirement programs. And without breaking any rules or stepping on anybody's toes.

The companies who want to pay you are just as eager for you to do this as you are to try it. And everything you need to decide for yourself, you'll find in your free copy of The 10-Minute Retirement Recovery Plan: Six Easy Ways To Lock In Steady Income Checks For the Rest of Your Life.

I'll show you how to send for it in just a moment.

But first...

The Quick Retirement "Catch-up" Strategy Everybody Is Talking About

Doing what I'll show you is easy.

In fact, it's automatic.

You just set it up and the checks start coming. One after another, with a check arriving every 12 days on average ― for up to 38 checks just in the next 12 months.

But what I find even better is the opportunity this will give you to pile up even more "future" wealth too. Especially once you factor in the combined growth and instant "matching" gains we've already talked about.

As you can see, a regular interest-paying account can take $10,000 and more than double it. But it would take close to 30 years. Too long for even someone who starts early.

You'd get a slightly better result if you put that same $10,000 in an account that compounds the interest. After the same period, you'd have over four times your money ― $10,000 growing into $41,161.

But let's suppose you were to take a "Plan B Pension" approach.

All other things being equal ― but with the steadily growing payouts we talked about ― the "Plan B Pension" strategy could turn that $10,000 into more than $5.4 million.

I don't have to tell you that smashes the results on the more boring moves. But in case you don't feel like doing the math... that's a showing of more than 132 times better!

How Does Turning $10,000 Into $5.4 Million Sound?

What happens as the base size of your wealth grows, inside of the "Plan B Pension?" Naturally, the already large income stream ― that is, each individual cash payout ― gets larger too.

It's like packing 35 years of retirement planning... into just a few years.

I lay it all out for you in the "Plan B Retirement Library" I'll send. But before I show you how to download this library of three reports, let me just run through what we're looking at so far...

"Plan B Pensions" let you "catch up" quickly, even after years of no savings

They're perfectly legal, even encouraged by America's best companies

There's no limit on how many of these income streams you're entitled to

You get to decide exactly how big you want your regular "paychecks" to be

You even decide how often and how many of these checks you'll receive

This "plan" pays you cash right now ― without touching your principal

Even in a falling market, you can use this to fill your bank account

There are no brokers or managers to go through (and no commissions)

You do this without options, insurance annuities, or low-paying money markets

You'll use, instead, a strategy preferred by countless millionaires

You can get unique "instant matching" gains with each payout

With this, your cash payouts grow over time, even if you don't put in another dime

On top of the income, it's also one of the smartest ways to grow long-term wealth

It's completely automatic ― you just set it up once and it runs itself, cranking out your checks

Market experts agree: "Plan B Pensions" are among the safest moves ever devised

Done right, you can even collect all or part of your payouts "tax-free" ― and I explain how in your free special reports.

As I said, there are over 1,020 of these special "plans" offered nationwide.

And more than 600 of them can offer you the sped-up "matching" gains I mentioned.

The sky's the limit on how many of these you lock into. Start collecting as many of these checks, in amounts only you help control, at any age and for as long as you like.

Without raising a single eyebrow, even though this can be...

Like Sneaking Your Own Fulltime Salary From the Payrolls of America's Safest Companies

Wal-Mart, Procter & Gamble, and Johnson & Johnson… Chevron, Microsoft, and ExxonMobil… these are just a few of the well-known companies sending out "Plan B Pension" checks to individual members of their plans.

However, there are many more I can show you. Some you'll know. Others will sound new to you. But I don't pick and choose the opportunities I'll tell you about based on a popularity contest.

Rather, I use my own proprietary seven-point analysis system to find these moves.

In fact, I'm watching several that I'm ready to share with you right now.

And I'll happily share more with you as they come along.

In each case, thanks to my proprietary seven-point analysis system, I'm able to target moves that can give off steady streams of income. And quickly. In fact, these checks can start arriving in just a few days from right now ― if you act quickly ― starting with the next "Plan B Pension" payout date, Feb. 9, 2009.

To collect, you don't have to be an employee of any of these companies.

You don't have to be an insider or sit on the company board.

You don't need to qualify according to age or employment status.

You only need to follow the simple steps ― including filling out a simple form ― which I explain to you in full in your free "Plan B Retirement Library" set of reports.

But I know what you're wondering.

Why these companies... and why now?

The Best Time for This Alternate Income Strategy in Two Decades

Before I start showing you these "Plan B" opportunities in detail, let's just pause for a second so I can put something critical into perspective ― today's gloomy financial headlines.

There's no hiding the facts...

Everything from commodities to health care has taken a beating. As I write this, the Dow is down approximately 40%. Some with just months to go before retirement have seen their market savings slashed by half or worse.

Meanwhile, we're talking over $4 trillion in U.S. home equity evaporated since 2006. And a lot more downside to go over the rest of 2009 and possibly into 2010.

Yet this same horrible market offers you and me the best investment window in nearly 20 years for the kind of "Plan B Pension" strategy. How so?

See, while most publicly-traded companies constantly hunger for new shareholders ― especially in today's massive sell-off environment ― not all companies go about getting them in the same way.

Some count only on hype, headlines, and PR. Others drum up support with "buzz" on the trading floor. But there's another class of company that takes a different approach.

Instead of hopping on the stock-market treadmill, churning through wave after wave of new investors, these smarter companies look for "owner" shareholders... individuals who believe in the company and look like they'll stick around for the long haul.

And what kinds of companies are these?

Cash-rich. Well-established. Well-positioned. Safe and fundamentally solid. In the right industries at the right time. With a long history of doing good business, doling out cash as steady dividends, taking care of customers, and looking out for their shareholders.

Now, I know what you're thinking. Bonds and many funds pay income too. And that's true. Even if bonds typically only pay twice a year. And those funds, once a year.

And lots of companies pay dividends, some very high dividends. That's true too.

In fact, maybe you're familiar with the study from Ned Davis Research showing how, from 1972 to 2006, dividend paying companies in general did two and a half times better than companies that paid no income to shareholders.

But high dividends and even some medium dividend payers can also come with hidden levels of risk. What's more, many of them don't offer the added income growth and compounding advantages of the "Plan B Pension" plans I'm telling you about today.

It's this special combination of income growth and compounding ― a step beyond just collecting stock, bond, or fund income ― that famous Wharton Professor Dr. Jeremy Siegel credits with producing a whopping 97% of all the real money made on the S&P 500.

Do most market amateurs know this? They do not.

Of course, when it comes to finding the best of these "Plan B Pension" paying companies, lots of market amateurs ― and a few of the so-called pros ― have no idea where to look.

On your own, separating the best from the worst can be work.

That's why I've developed my own carefully crafted approach...

How You Could Lock in Lifetime Income, Using My Strategic Seven-Point Filtering System

Obviously not all income-paying plans get cut from the same cloth. Not all fit the "Plan B Pension" model either. That's why I've crafted what I consider the most bulletproof filtering system for finding reliable, consistent streams of market income...

Filter #1: The Largest Income Yield That Still Makes Sense ― Really high yields can signal far too much risk. Still, you can find some fat yields right now... paid out by some of the most fundamentally solid stocks on or off Wall Street. I don't stop looking once I find higher yields, but I certainly start there.

Filter #2: Bigger and Bigger Income Streams Over Time ― What's even better than regular "Plan B Pension" payouts? Payouts that get bigger and bigger over time. Not only because they speed up your wealth accumulation, but also because they're an excellent sign of a well-managed "Plan B" opportunity.

Filter #3: Cash Payouts Like Clockwork ― Checks that don't come aren't worth the paper they're not printed on. I stick with the "Plan B" opportunities that have a long history of paying out and paying on time. And I steer clear of those who don't.

Filter #4: Businesses Your Mother Could Love ― Short-sighted market players may have forgotten what makes for a trustworthy stock, but it's just as basic as ever ― lots of cash, very little or no debt, a steady flow of business, and low expense ratios. I don't touch anything that can't pass those benchmarks. And you shouldn't either.

Filter #5: The Right Industry For the Right Time ― Let's face it. Some stocks work for the long term, and work hard. Others work best in some kinds of markets, and a little less than others. I don't try to time markets. But if something looks extra ripe for solid growth and can pay us cash payouts, I see no reason to hold back.

Filter #6: Payouts as Big as They're Supposed to Be ― Some kinds of "Plan B" companies will have a lot of cash to fork over to you. Others, on a percentage basis, should fork over less. It depends on the businesses they're in. If they're paying more or less than they should, that's a red flag you have to know to watch for.

Filter #7: The Absolute Best Share Price ― Even companies that can put steady cash in your pocket have a fair price. I don't recommend paying a nickel more when you don't have to.

It's no coincidence the most successful and well-known market mega-players in history favor these kinds of companies, in good markets and bad.

It's also no coincidence that right now, these companies are exactly the ones offering the biggest rewards to both new and loyal shareholders... with some of the biggest "Plan B Pension" payouts in 17 years... simply because, especially in this market, these income-payers are eager to attract the "best" kinds of shareholders possible.

It's really that simple. And I can start showing you how to find these companies right now, as soon as you're ready. With a brand new service I've just created, called the Lifetime Income Report.

This new service uses my special seven-point filtering strategy to find you the best income streams possible ― including the "Plan B Pension" payouts we've talked about.

I'd like you to be one of the first to give Lifetime Income Report a try.

To help encourage you, not only will I rush you the free "Plan B Retirement Library"... I'll guarantee your satisfaction 100%... in not just one, but three very specific ways.

"Plan B Pension" Guaranteed Opportunity #1:"Current Cash" You Can Start Spending Right Now

What's the worst part about planning for tomorrow?

Having nothing left to spend right now.

The first thing I'll start showing you in my new Lifetime Income Report service is that it's possible for you to build future wealth... and still have right-now cash... at the same time.

No more punishing early-withdrawal fees. No nasty memos from 401(k) administrators. And you don't need to wait until you're 65 to get paid. This is money you can spend today.

(With your first check arriving as soon as 12 days from right now.)

You Could Get Cash Payouts as Often as Every 12 Days

The following list shows scheduled cash payout dates, based on past results, for the six "Plan B Pension" programs I've identified for you, in the "Plan B Retirement Library" I'd love to send:

In fact, as soon as you agree to try the new Lifetime Income Report research letter... and send for the free "Plan B Retirement Library" set of bonus reports... you'll find included a second report called, Income You Can Count On.

This is your instant primer to everything we'll do together, giving you a chance to piece together a whole fortress of income-driven financial security... while still tapping a stream of immediate cash income.

One of the first things I'll walk you through is what I call my "Current Cash" portfolio.

This is where I track income streams specifically designed to pay the largest possible immediate "Plan B" payouts. We'll use this portfolio to target faster growth and bigger income, right out of the gate.

This is the "right now" part of the program you'll discover just as soon as you send for your FREE "Plan B Retirement Library"... and your "100% Triple-Guaranteed" trial issues of the Lifetime Income Report.

But it gets even better...

"Plan B Pension" Guaranteed Opportunity #2: Self-Renewing Wealth, Even in Flat Markets

Have you ever noticed that some people just work too hard to get rich?

Think about it.

The wealthiest American families... the multi-millionaires and billionaires who hit the headlines... don't really work that much harder or longer than you.

Some even seem to get wealthier... doing nothing.

Except maybe letting their money make more money, all by itself.

How do they do it?

The thing is, using the secrets I'll show you in your FREE "Plan B Retirement Library" and in first issues of my new Lifetime Income Report research letter... you see how you too could also collect similar kinds of "no show" wealth.

Just like those wealth insiders.

Collect in your sleep. Collect long after you've retired. Collect from the front porch of your house on the beach... or the deck of your new sailboat or fishing cruiser.

How many times have you heard of someone who "sits on the board" of a half-dozen companies, raking in stock option riches while he trolls the golf courses and knocks back champagne at top clubs and restaurants?

The simple strategy you'll find in your FREE reports and first issues shows you the simple formula for putting together as many multiple work-free "paychecks." Allowing you, too, to pile up lots of money that works so you don't have to...

Wealth That Never Retires

I call this kind of self-growing wealth "Legacy Income"...

In each issue of your trial subscription to the new Lifetime Income Report you'll find a second "Legacy Income" portfolio, designed to help you load up on this kind of wealth that can automatically continue to grow.

And no, don't think I'm just talking about the miracle of compound interest. That's an extremely powerful tool. But this is better. And it can work for you, much faster.

Einstein may have called compound interest "the most powerful force in the Universe"... but this is like compound interest on steroids.

And my new Lifetime Income Report will make it simple for you to learn how it works, should you choose to try this yourself.

Not just with how to collect this kind of "Legacy Income" over time... or the "Current Cash" we talked about... but also in a third way, with something I can only call "Special Income."

"Plan B Pension" Guaranteed Opportunity #3: "Special Income" Others Leave On The Table

What's "Special Income?"

It's the pile of income payouts other investors simply leave on the table.

These little-talked-about income payout opportunities don't come on a schedule. You won't read about them much in the paper either, until they're already doled out and it's too late to collect.

But when you can tap these "special income" opportunities... it can be like getting a surprise windfall... a bonus... even a check from a wealthy relative or a fat premium on the sale of a big asset, like a luxury car or investment property.

The companies that offer you this special kind of income usually get the money themselves from winning a piece of corporate litigation, making a major sale, having an especially good financial quarter, and so on... in an unexpected glut of cash.

Naturally "special income" opportunities are harder to spot.

But then, there's that old saying... "It's amazing how lucky I get when I work 16 hours a day."

In other words, to catch a fat "special income" payout, you need to stand in the right place at the right time. But if you let me do the research work for you, there's a good chance I can show you where to stand.

The third portfolio you'll find when you try my brand new Lifetime Income Report service is what I call our "Special Income Portfolio"... and it's where I'll line up "special income" opportunities on the brink of spilling cash into shareholder accounts.

That's three different kinds of potential lifetime income I can start revealing to you immediately, the moment you let me know you're ready to get started.

From the short to long term.

And only the highest quality opportunities I can find...

My Six Favorite "Plan B Pension" Income Streams Right Now

You'll find my six favorite "Plan B Pension" payout programs right now... in your free copy of The 10-Minute Retirement Recovery Plan: Six Easy Ways To Lock In Steady Income Checks For the Rest of Your Life.

This free report is just one of the three reports included with your instant "Plan B Retirement Library" bonus. And it's yours at no charge whatsoever, the moment you accept my invitation.

Here's a small taste of the kinds of wealth moves you'll find inside...

A North Carolina based "Plan B Pension" plan that's increased the size of its cash payouts to members every year since 1978 ― that's 30 years straight ― and that doesn't include the instant 5% gain you could make every time you use their zero-fee plan to pick up more shares

Easily the most popular "Plan B Pension" opportunity in America, this 39-year old company has sent its members cash "paychecks" each of the 458 months in a row… and they've bumped up the amount in those checks 51 times since 1994

A "Plan B Pension" plan that's handed out cash payouts to its members steadily every year for the last 38 years straight. And backed by a business that couldn't be safer, because they dominate 75% of the massive, worldwide market for the household product they make

A "Plan B Pension" plan that the London Financial Times is calling a kind of safe haven in the latest global financial storm. This one plan has steadily doled out bigger and bigger cash payouts to members, every year since 1997

A major play on the Brazil boom, with a "Plan B Pension" plan that could give you nearly double-digit income, with the safety of a solid energy company. This could easily be a way to pick streams of steady cash you can spend as you like

A "Plan B Pension" play so popular, it has over $3.8 billion in the program and offers regular cash payouts that are already 16% larger than they were in October of last year… for a total of nearly 12% payouts on every dollar you put in the program, regularly paid to your account.

Again, all six of these are fully detailed in your free copy of The 10-Minute Retirement Recovery Plan: Six Easy Ways To Lock In Steady Income Checks For the Rest of Your Life ― which you're welcome to download or have mailed to you, the moment you sign on.

I can't wait for you to try this for yourself.

The Simple Secret That Could Pay Your Retirement Millions

Of course, you don't need to wait until you get your free reports to see the evidence behind this approach. For instance, let's say you had used the "Plan B Pension" strategy to pick up 160 shares of Pepsi in 1980.

It would have cost you $4,000.

However, that amount would have automatically grown to over $300,000 by 2004, without you investing another penny. Not bad?

Now let's try the same with Philip Morris... starting with the same dollar amount, which would have amounted to 58 shares. By the time you'd finished, your $4,000 would have ballooned to nearly $600,000... and over 4,300 shares.

Without you putting in an extra nickel.

Here's another one. Say you put $5,000 into a company called Terra Nitrogen in 2003. That's 1,136 shares at the then-price of $4.40 per share. Today the share price has exploded to $110 per share. Pretty good. But the "Plan B Pension" income on top of that could have exploded your $5,000 into $151,026 in just five years.

Like I said, it's an almost perfect self-growing cycle.

Like a tree that waters and fertilizes itself.

Take a look at a few more...

One of the moves I've tracked since Jan. 2005 would have grown every dollar you put in 155%. Not bad. But make that same move using a "Plan B Pension" strategy and you would have more than tripled your money, for a total net gain of 244.8%. Much better

Another move I'm tracking has already issued enough "Plan B Pension" income checks... from 2003 until now... to cover double what it might have cost to get in... plus the shares in this one plan alone, over that same time period, also shot up another 329%. Even now, I see this as a steady income-payer for years to come

One more of the many possible "Plan B Pensions" I've just tracked has cranked up the size of the income it pays out with every single check, steadily for the last 10 years... already, had you started getting your checks in 1998, you'd collect nearly 40% more per check right now, above what you earned when just getting started. It's like getting an automatic pay raise that you don't have to lift a finger to earn.

Over the last 80 years, regular stocks could have turned $10,000 into about $1,013,000. Fold in the kind of income that you can get with these kinds of "Plan B Pensions" and $10,000 grows to a dazzling $24,113,000.

And that includes results in all kinds of markets.

The Only Money Strategy That "Works" In Good Times or Bad

One study shows "Plan B Pension" companies can consistently double the gains other individuals get following the S&P 500 alone.

And not just in the "best" years, but over the period between 1970 and 2005... which included at least seven bear markets... a half-dozen wars and minor military skirmishes... on-again-off-again energy crises... countless rate hikes... and piles of political scandal...

In a down market, you'll see the market flock to "Plan B Pension" companies for cash. In up markets, "Plan B Pension" companies have even bigger cash piles to divvy up.

Even in a flat market, you can do well with a "Plan B Pension"... because it's the one way you can be sure that no matter what happens, you qualify to get paid.

This is the best way to reward steady, cool-headed market players I know of.

And yet...

You'd Be Stunned to Discover How Many Americans Miss Out on This Simple, Wealth-Boosting Step

This is so easy to set up, you'd be shocked to find out how many Americans don't ever discover how to put "Plan B Pensions" to work. But don't let that stop you from getting started.

Send for your free "Plan B Retirement Library" reports.

Look over your first issues of the Lifetime Income Report.

You'll see how this can work for you automatically, in a self-growing cycle of income. And likewise, how you can also use this approach to tap a stream of "right now" cash.

Your first check could arrive within days of right now ― the next payout date as I write this is Feb. 9, 2009 ― followed by as many as 38 checks, each and every year you decide to stick with this "Plan B Pension" strategy.

That's just the beginning.

Because you'll find even more of these opportunities... and others like them... as you dig into your introductory "100% Triple-Guaranteed" trial subscription to the Lifetime Income Report.

I hope you see why you need to seize this opportunity.

But just so we're clear on what you'd be giving up...

30-Day Retirement Plan

If you chose to retire just 30 days from right now, how much money would you need?

$5 million? 

$15 million?

Or maybe just $1 million?

Whatever your answer is, I'll show you how you could get there.

Imagine reaching your retirement money goal in as little as one month. Starting with just $500.

That's right. I'll show you below how in only 30 days ― you could have retired rich by any measure you can imagine.

Heck, you could have even started with $250, instead of $500.

It might have just meant you ended up with $4 million, instead of $8 million. Or $6.5 million, instead of $13 million.

It doesn't matter how much money you need to retire. You can get there in less time than you ever imagined with "Flash Action" market moves.

And it's very easy to pull off.

Unbelievable wealth could be yours with a simple, yet unknown investment strategy that's not much different than buying common, big-name stocks.

I'll explain exactly how it works in a few moments. For now, I assure you this:

What I'm about to show you is 100% legal. It's safe. It's cheap.

And it's easy.

You need only three small things to get started.

Three Simple Steps to a "30-Day Retirement"

First, you need a tiny amount of cash

Second, you need a bit of knowledge ― which is what I will share with you today

Third, you need excellent timing ― and a fair amount of luck.

First, I should warn you that what I'm about to show you is not for everyone. No one can predict the future, and every string of success ends with a loser. So there is significant risk involved, but the potential for profits is limitless. And I would never recommend rolling all money invested from one play to another ― as you'll see in just a moment.

The best thing is to take out part of your winnings as you go and continue with only some of the profits. That way, you keep most of your gains safe and play with the rest.

To show you how this could be possible, here's a recent example of how $500 could have turned into millions in under one month...

How 3 Simple "Flash Action" Moves Could Have Funded the "30-Day Retirement Plan"

When the markets opened Friday, Sept. 5, 2008, just $500 would've bought you 2,500 shares of Paradigm.

At the open, Paradigm traded at 20 cents per share.

By 11:22 a.m. that morning, Paradigm traded at 70 cents per share.

Had you sold at 70 cents ― you would've been sitting on a 250% gain before lunchtime.

That 250% turned your $500 into $1,750...that's $875 per hour!

Not a bad two hours, right?

You make one easy move in the morning, and then sell before lunch and grab $1,750 in profits!

It's the first "flash action" step to turning $500 into millions.

Yes, this is real ― and in just two more stock moves, I'll show you how you could've turned $500 into millions with the "30-Day Retirement Plan"!

"30-Day Retirement Plan" Step 2

On Thursday morning, Sept. 11, 2008, let's say you put your $1,750 in gains from Friday back into the market.

Concord Ventures had such a great morning that it could've turned your $1,750 into $175,000. All by 12:27 p.m.

That's a gain of 9,900%!


Just like with Paradigm, the move with Concord Ventures started first thing in the morning and ended by lunchtime.

And in just two simple market moves, $500 could've turned into $175,000 ― in less than a week.

Now, I know what you're thinking ― $175,000 is great, but it's not millions.

But just wait until you see what happens in step three of this amazing "flash action" path to easy riches!

Success! Here's How $500 Explodes Into MILLIONS for the "30-Day Retirement Plan". . .

On Friday, Sept. 12, 2008, shares of Abviva rose an astounding 7,900%.

If you got in and out at the right time, the $175,000 from your earlier "30-Day Retirement" play could've exploded into $14,000,000.

Here's how this recent "30-Day Retirement Plan" worked...

PDGO on Friday, Sept. 5

CCVR on Thursday, the 11th

And ABVV on Friday, the 12th.

Yes, with timing and the right moves, it is possible to turn just $500 into millions.

In this example, all the action took place in one week with three simple "flash action" moves.

A week could change your life forever.

What Would You Do With $14 Million?

Maybe you'd quit your job and retire right away.

Or maybe you'd keep working.

You could do whatever you wanted.

Buy a house. Or pay off your current home.

Buy a fancy car. Or three. Or seven.

Travel the world. Dine in all the best restaurants.

After you were done with all that, you could even give money to family members in need ― or to your favorite charities.

Sock away a ton of money for retirement or unforeseen future medical expenses.

It would be completely up to you. Because with a huge influx of cash would come something even more valuable.

Freedom.

Freedom from worry about what might happen tomorrow or next year. Freedom from ever running out of money. Freedom from whatever shackled you to a lifestyle you might not like.

Freedom to do exactly what you want, whenever you wanted to.

Now imagine the chance to start putting all your grandest plans, all your biggest dreams, into motion beginning with as little as just $500.

Moves like these can happen. They have happened.

They'll happen again. The question is ― will this happen to you?

I've already shown how just three of what I call "flash action" market moves could change your life.

But I'm just getting started! Here are some more examples... 

You really don't even need $500 to become rich with these amazing little stocks.

Heck, you could start with just $250 if you wanted to.

The key is you have to look in the right place.

Now, the gains I'm showing you don't come from the NYSE or the Nasdaq.

But that doesn't mean you have to miss out on the profit potential of these "flash action" gainers!

In about five minutes, you could get started working toward your own version of the "30-Day Retirement"!

Yep, just $250 could start you on the path to retirement riches. Simply, legally and very, very quickly.

Here's what I mean.

Your Investment of $250 Plus One Move = The "30-Day Retirement Plan" Pays You $21,871 in Just 4 Hours

On Thursday, Sept. 4, 2008, Genesis Pharma went from 24 cents per share all the way up to $21 by 1:24 p.m.

Had you grabbed shares at the open, just $500 would've bought 2,083 shares of GNPH.

At $21 per share on Thursday afternoon ― you would've been sitting on $43,243 in total profits.

This is less than 24 hours ― heck, it's less than half a work day, and over $21,600 in easy possible "flash action" profits with just $250 to start!

Gains like this one happen every single day. But you have to look in the right place.

As I mentioned earlier, you'll never find these gains on the big exchanges.

The reason gains like GNPH go missed day after day might make you scratch your head.

See, most stock watchers would rather put money in blue chip stocks and hope for small gains year over year that barely beat inflation.

These people are working on a 50-year retirement plan.

Good for them. History has shown it works.

But those people are losing out big-time!

Because they're missing all the best gains ― quick, aggressive gains that are right under their nose every single trading day.

And once you start grabbing these hidden gains, you could be well on your way to "30-Day Retirement."

Which would you choose? In as little as 30 days, "flash action" stocks like the ones I'm showing you could put you on easy street for the rest of your life.

You can forget waiting. Hoping. Trying to beat inflation.

Because the smallest, most hidden stocks out there can also be the most lucrative.

Here's why...

"Flash Action" Stocks = "30-Day Retirement" Stocks

All the amazing "flash action" gains you've seen so far come from Bulletin Board stocks.

They're the smallest of the small.

They're even smaller than your normal penny stock.

That's TINY.

But some of the companies trading on the Bulletin Board listing services are the Microsofts, IBMs, Intels and Amgens of tomorrow.

Bulletin Board stocks are the household-name stocks of the next decade.

These are the kinds of stocks that could fund an entire retirement in just 30 days. Stocks that can make an incredible $10,000 or more per hour.

And you can begin chasing your own "30-Day Retirement" with these tiny stocks today.

To get you started, I want you to accept an exclusive "flash action" trading alert I'm set to send right to you.

Inside, I'll tell you the name of my latest "30-Day Retirement Plan" target.

You need this alert so you can start on the road to "flash action" profits as soon as the markets open tomorrow.

I'll tell you all about this e-mail alert in just a minute.

But before I jump into how I hunt for huge gains from these small stocks, there are a few things I need to point out.

Bulletin Board stocks sometimes trade only a few thousand shares per day.

Big companies like Microsoft, for example, trade around 84 million shares per day.

And Intel usually trades around 70 million shares per day.

All that trading and all those available shares mean share prices really don't move very much in a given day.

But a ton of activity in a tiny stock can sometimes send the share price jumping all over the place ― up and down. That's why...

I will teach you exactly how to safely build and monitor positions in "flash action" stocks.


You also need to sort out which companies are real and which ones are lame and empty.

You need to dig around. Find out all there is to know. Get the inside scoop on profit margins, costs and growth.

This is exactly what I do. I scour the Bulletin Boards for potential "flash action" companies ― the strong, solid, growing companies. I'll even give you all my information on some of the best Bulletin Board stocks today

I'll tell you exactly what potential "flash action" shares I think you should buy, when and for how much. And when the time comes, I'll tell you exactly when to sell...

Using my recommendations, you could profit from "flash action" moves

Simply agree to receive my next alert and you'll be ready to hit the ground running the next morning when the markets open!

I break these potential "flash action" stocks down to their atoms, show you how they work and how you could potentially make them pay for your own "30-Day Retirement."

Along the way, you could make huge amounts of easy money, sometimes overnight.

You've probably already figured it out ― but that's why I call these amazing little stocks "flash action" movers.

Before you know it, just a tiny bit of cash could jump up to hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars!

Sometimes, huge "flash action" gains pile up in the markets one day to the next!

For example, here's an even FASTER "flash action" bonanza that occurred in the markets recently...

Turn $500 Into $336,500 in 2 Days ― Faster "Flash Action" Gains!

On the morning of Sept. 15, 2008, shares of China Biopharma rose an astounding 9,900% ― in just three hours!

That's enough to turn $500 into $50,000!

Then ― the next day ― First Quantum Ventures shot up 573%.

That's enough to have turned $50,000 into $336,500!

Imagine that... Starting with just $500 one morning and sitting on up to $336,500 the next afternoon!

That's FAST "flash action" market moves at work.

See how easy it could be to fund your entire retirement off just 30 days of playing the right "flash action" market moves at the right time?

These moves happen all the time. Every day!

So are you ready to start grabbing your share of these incredible gains?

It's so cheap to get started, as I've shown, that it's a shame everyone who ever bought a share of stock isn't grabbing these impressive "flash action" movers!

That begs the question...so why isn't everyone doing this?

It all boils down to Home runs versus strikeouts.

Here's what I mean...

"Flash Action" Home Runs Are So Massive, They Easily Make up for the Strikeouts

Famous baseball star Hank Aaron hit 755 home runs during his illustrious 23-year career.

But do you know how many times he struck out? 1,383 times.

That's almost two strikeouts for every single home run.

For every major success, he averaged two failures.

And that's pretty much how the stocks I'm writing about to you today work too.

You should expect some strikeouts. The best investors expect them.

This means you should never put money down on these impressive little stocks that you need to pay the mortgage or keep the lights on.

I'm not trying to steal my own thunder here ― I'm simply talking reality.

But when just $500 could start you on the path to incredible wealth, the risk is limited.

And the home runs could more than make up for the strikeouts. Many, many times over.

Yes, it's true that you need precisely targeted moves to take advantage of the right three "flash action" moves to make millions.

And it's also true that amazing timing is a factor too.

It's my job to alert you to the best "flash action" opportunities ― exactly the ones that could put you on your way to your own "30-Day Retirement."

See, even with all the caveats about "flash action" stocks taken into account, I cannot ignore the fact that there's money out there ― money literally floating around the markets each day ― that with the right information and a little determination you could grab and use to fund your dreams ― maybe even use to fund a $10,000 per hour 30-Day Retirement!

Simply agree to receive my next alert, and you could start making some serious gains...FAST!

How much you could make is really up to you.

Because "30-Day Retirement" money is there for the taking!

You just have to know how to grab it!

Here's another example of the kind of money I'm talking about ― and this one's the fastest gain yet!

So far, I've shown you how a savvy investor could have made $14,000,000 in a week. Then I showed how an investor could have made $336,500 in two days!

If you thought those gains were great ― this one will knock you out! It's just another example of HUGE cash that can be made from hidden, "flash action" moves in the market.

1,400% Gain in 30 Minutes ― Lightning Quick "Flash Action" Profit

By 10:00 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 18, 2008 ― shares of USR Technology Inc. had risen 1,400% since the 9:30 open.

1,400% in half an hour ― easy as pie.

That's $500 into $7,500 all before mid-morning coffee time.


It's safe. It's easy. It's cheap.

All you need is the right stocks at the right time.

And I'll tell you how to start today.

But before I tell you how to get my next alert and start your own "flash action" gains, I should introduce myself.

54,900 Members Read My Profit Alerts ― But Here's Why They Can't Act On What I'm Offering Today

My name is Greg Guenthner.

I began my career years ago as a government reporter.

After years of traveling the east coast of the U.S. and spending time in dozens of newsrooms, I started to read the investment classics.

I quickly learned that I had a real knack for picking winning stock ideas.

It wasn't long before I ended up working for a respected financial publishing firm in downtown Baltimore, Maryland.

Today, I lead the revolutionary small stocks newsletter, Penny Stock Fortunes.

With over 54,900 monthly readers, I've pointed the way to gains like 45% in just one day and 100% in just a few months so far in 2008.

Now I don't mean to brag, I'm just telling you so you know I know what I'm doing.

I also know you're probably a market-watcher who demands gains even bigger than the comparatively small profits possible with penny stocks ― even though they can sometimes rise 250% or more in days.

I know there are people out there who want to swing for the fences.

I know you exist. I know what you want.

And for too long, because I have so many readers, I had to let the "flash action" stock ideas that cross my desk slip away.

Like I mentioned before, these tiny "flash action" stocks sometimes trade very few shares per day.

If I released a "flash action" stock ticker to my 54,900 readers ― the stock could go nuts. All heck could break loose. The price might even go up artificially.

And that's no good. Still, I couldn't possibly let lucrative "30-Day Retirement Plan" ideas get away.

So I recently started an elite, for-serious-readers-only letter called Bulletin Board Elite.

So far in 2008, Bulletin Board Elite Has Returned Gains of...

100% in just four months

And 45% in just ONE DAY

And as of Dec. 10, Open Positions Include...

243% gains on an alternative energy company in a little over three months

Now, those gains aren't bad. I'm proud of them ― especially in our current market environment.

But these in-the-books gains pale in comparison to the "30-Day Retirement" opportunities I'm ready to release to you.

I want you to receive my latest alert.

In fact, you simply MUST HAVE IT to start building your own "flash action" wealth.

I'll even show you an example of how my alerts work...so you can charge right into your own "flash action" plays with all the ammunition you need.

The Countdown to My Next Flash Action Alert ― Your First Step in the "30-Day Retirement Plan"

As soon as you sign up for Bulletin Board Elite you'll receive an urgent "flash action" trading alert straight from my desk.

It'll look very similar to this ― a recent alert ― which out of fairness to current subscribers, I have cut down to not reveal the name of the recommended company.

It's that simple. I send you the e-mail and lay out my case. You use the information I send you to decide whether to get in on the play ― and possibly begin your own version of the "30-Day Retirement Plan."

Starting first thing tomorrow, you could have the power at your fingertips to begin your own "flash action" chain of staggering gains.

Remember, this is exactly the system of research and analysis that's so far this year led to 45% gains in one day and 100% gains in only a few months.

And what I'm offering you today could blow the doors off anything I've released so far this year...

Remember too: I tell you what the best current play is, and why, in every alert.

I keep you up to date. If a recommendation changes, I tell you.

If it's time to sell and cash out gains, I tell you.

Bulletin Board Elite is like a friendly guide to your own "30-Day Retirement Plan."

I show you the way to gains. Simply. Honestly. So you can make your own decision and get involved however is best for you and your situation.

In just days, you could even be racking up "30-Day Retirement" work-free "hourly wages" like...

And you never know... my next alert, the one I want you to have today, might even point the way to an enormous gain like...

"Flash Action" Hall of Fame:  $4,760 Turned Into $639,500. . . Then $1.52 MILLION

Hansen Natural's a giant in fruit and energy drinks.

4,000 shares of HANS on Aug. 18, 1995 meant a total outlay of $4,760.

By July 2005, HANS traded at $92.40 a share.

Had you sold at $92.40, your $4,760 would've been worth $369,600! That's good for a gain of 7,650%!

Then, by June 2006, HANS traded at $190.37 a share after a 2-for-1 split.

8,000 shares were now worth $1,522,010.

That's more than $1.5 million from $4,760, or a lifetime gain of an absolutely staggering 31,875%.

You've now seen "flash action" moves at work. You've seen how just a few hundred dollars to start could turn into incredible sums.

I've shown you how to make $14 million in a week, $336,500 in two days, even 1,400% gains in 30 minutes!

And now you've seen how a "buy and hold" play like HANS could make you a millionaire too! The opportunities here are overwhelming!

So you know the stocks I target. You know the blueprint for gains.

Now it's time for you to cash in on these little "30-Day Retirement" gems for yourself...starting with my next elite, members-only alert.

Don't Miss This Rare Chance to Join The Ranks of Bulletin Board Elite

I admit up front, I simply cannot offer Bulletin Board Elite to a wide audience.

The opportunities I uncover are just too sensitive for more than a handful of people to know about. But, as you've seen, they can be incredibly lucrative.

Membership is first come, first served. So you must hurry to join at the limited-time price I'll reveal in just a minute.

But first I need to issue my warning, one more time...

Tiny "flash action" securities can be extremely volatile. Some of these stocks trade for just pocket change, and too many buyers can send the price up triple digits.

Now, to show you gains the right way, I must go wherever the stock-stories lead me, day or night, to uncover only those plays that stand to make you the biggest (and safest) "flash action" profits.

So, to be your "inside man", dedicated to digging up the "flash action" moves that safely and properly make you rich, I need to know you're committed to starting your own path to profits.

Hot Stocks 2009 No.1 Atlas Pipeline Partners
by Addison Wiggin

I've been involved in investing and financial markets for the past 15 years. In that time, I've met every kind of investor... and heard about every kind of investing strategy and stock opportunity you can imagine. Here at Agora Financial, we scour the globe looking for hidden investment opportunities often over looked by Wall Street. Capital &Crisis editor Chris Mayer uncovers these opportunities and delivers them to you. Chris is called by some "the best financial journalist you've never heard of ..."

And on behalf of Chris Mayer... I'll gladly put every minute of my hard work and reputation building on theline. His Capital & Crisis subscribers have benefited greatly from his unique recommendations. His globetrotting letter knows no bounds and goes wherever profits can be found. Over to Chris… Finding the Great Investments He's BeenSearching for His Whole Career I'm going to show you how you can start collecting a 20%-plus yield -- on one overlooked energy stock --right away. Besides these plumpdividends, you'll get a good shot at tripling your money. And there's good reason to believe you could make nine times your money -- if Wall Street wakes up and smells hard assets, and pays exactly what they're worth.

The market isn't rewarding Exxon, Chevron or even Gazprom. And now is not the time to start taking risks on wildcat energy explorers. Right now, I'm looking at a stock that's trading under $6. And today, it's showing signs of a climb -- so I wouldn't wait on this opportunity. Just let me give you the bare bones of its business and a nod from a very smart billionaire investor who knows tough markets.

The company's secret is that it doesn't drill for a drop of oil and it doesn't frack a single foot of shale gas. What it does is keep companies who do at its mercy.
Atlas Pipeline Partners (APL:nyse) owns 1,600 miles of pipeline connected to nearly 6,000 wells and is adding over 800 new wells per year in Appalachia. It also operates a growing interstate pipeline system in the Fayetteville Shale. Plus, it has a great deal with one of the most active drillers in America: Atlas Energy. Every well that Atlas Energy drills has to be connected to Atlas Pipeline's system. These are low-risk assets. Now let's talk dividend. Since 2000, APL's average dividend increase clocked in at 7 cents a year. A plump year offered a 107% increase. While it's true that 2008 was a tough year for natural gas, NGLs (APL's primary product) are up 50% from their December lows. Aside from price recovery, there's another catalyst for dividend growth. Given the prime location of its pipelines in Appalachia, you have every reason to expect an increased dividend payout down the road.

War horse Leon Cooperman, shares my interest in APL. He is one of the great living investors. At a recent Manhattan value investors' conference, Cooperman confessed, "This is the most difficult environment I've lived through. And I've been doing this for 41 years." But when he got to talking about getting 20%-plus on your money with APL, he had this to say: "At my age, it's better than sex, but that's just me."

Why does he think Atlas is on sale? Thank collapsing hedge funds the most. These guys have been forced to sell even their best positions to cover losses in other areas. Cooperman thinks this stock is worth $46 easily. My original estimate was $48. That's nine times what it trades at today. So why not consider a stock trading at so steep a discount to book?

Don't forget the great yield -- that's poised to increase. Even if that dividend stays right where it was last quarter, you could still make back today's investment in under four years -- just through the dividend alone.
Recommendation: Buy Atlas Pipeline Partners (APL: NYSE).

Hot Stocks 2009 No.2 U.S. Cellular 8.75% Senior Notes due 11/1/2032 (NYSE: UZG, $20.25)
by Nilus Mattive

Famed investor Warren Buffett made a telling remark on the kind of returns he hopes to achieve in today's tough markets: "We would be very happy if we earned +10%, pre-tax," he told shareholders at Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE: BRK-B) annual meeting last May. Co-Chairman Charlie Munger quickly concurred, "You can take what Warren said to the bank... and I suggest you adopt the same attitude."

Well, my recommended security for this market bests Warren Buffett's benchmark. It offers secure yields of better than 16%. And we do mean secure -- as in legal obligation.Although this security trades like a stock every day on the New York Stock Exchange, it's actually a bond, not a stock. That means your quarterly interest payments have top claim on the company's assets, ahead of any common or preferred share dividends if the company runs into trouble. That kind of security is comforting in today's turbulent times, but it's hardly necessary for America's sixth biggest wireless firm. In fact, credit rating agency Standard & Poor's is so confident in this firm's financial position, it just upgraded the company's credit quality to investment grade "with positive out look," meaning the rating could be raised in one to three years.

The upgrade and positive outlook mean that any such bonds the company may issue in the future will most likely offer a lower interest rate than this high-yielding security. That's because today's featured security was issued in 2002, when the company was considered higher risk and needed to offer a higher rate in return.
Consider, too, that this security is now trading at around a -19% discount from its $25 par value. It matures in 24 years and can be called at any time. Either way, sooner or later you will be getting back $25 per share plus any unpaid interest. Meanwhile, you'll be paid amply to wait. If this all sounds too good to be true, read on and decide for yourself...

Snapshot: These exchange-traded notes were issued in 2002 by regional wireless operator U.S. Cellular (NYSE: USM). The company is the sixth-largest wireless carrier in the country by number of customers. Its wireless networks serve 6.2 million customers, for an estimated 3% share of the U.S. wireless market. Headquartered in Chicago, the telecom carrier focuses on smaller regional markets mainly in the Midwest, including Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Wisconsin.

Key Statistics:
Security Type: Exchange-Traded Debt
Annual Dividend: $2.1875
Dividend Yield: 10.8%
Frequency: Quarterly
Credit Rating: Baa3/BBB

Wireless services account for about 93% of revenues, while equipment sales contribute the balance. Roaming revenues from other wireless carriers using USM's networks provide a 7% chunk of the company's wireless service revenue. U.S. Cellular is a subsidiary of rural fixed-line phone operator Telephone & Data Systems (NYSE: TDS), which owns 80.8% of the company.

Performance: U.S. Cellular has seen earnings grow an average of +50.2% a year over the past three years through December 31, 2007. U.S. Cellular has a strong balance sheet, which is supported by funding from parent company TDS. Its debt-to-EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) ratio, a measure of leverage, is less than 1.0. Meanwhile, debt is only around 20% of total capitalization. Both those measures are well below its regional wireless peers. Rival Leap Wireless (Nasdaq: LEAP), for example, carries a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 6.4 times, and debt is 60% of total capitalization.

Hot Stocks 2009 No.3 Strike Gold with SPDR Gold Shares (GLD)
by Ian Wyatt

If the gains gold has made are any indicator of profits to come, I think SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE:GLD) is the golden ticket investors need to expose their portfolio to the safety and profits of the precious yellow metal.

Gold has been one of the best performing investments in a down market, and was one of the only investments to post gains in 2008, proving to be an excellent safe haven. Like U.S. Treasuries, the price of gold has rallied as investors fled equities and bonds, and sought safe investments. SPDR Gold Shares is an ETF that trades at one-tenth the price of an ounce of gold, and tracks the price movement of the commodity. The metal has most notably been on the rise, jumping 31% to $923 an ounce from the recent Nov. 13 low of $700 an ounce. As I mentioned in my weekly letter on Monday, I had been considering buying the Market Vectors Gold Miners Index (NYSE:GDX). However, this higher-risk, higher-reward investment has soared an astounding 74% from a recent Oct. 27 low, making it much riskier than GLD.

Through SPDR Gold Shares, I intend to take a cautious approach to gaining exposure to gold, given the big gains that the ETF has already experienced in the last few months. I plan to start with a small position of $2,000, and may add to the position in the future. I don't intend to have more than 5% of my portfolio invested in this position at any time.

For any Goldfingers out there, investing in SPDR Gold Shares is much like buying gold bars or coins, minus the headache of having to hold them in a safe or hide them under your bed. Using the fund, you have the added flexibility of being able to buy or sell at any time. The fund is backed by physical gold reserves, giving investors the security of buying the real commodity.

Many commodity prices dropped in 2008, including gold, which fell briefly in October and November of 2008. Don't let this brief decline fool you though - this is a long-term bull market for commodities, and gold will continue to perform well. As investors ditch low-yield U.S. Treasuries and seek other inflation-protected investments that can provide safety, gold appears to be the perfect investment.

The reckless monetary policy of the U.S. Federal Reserve will have its day of reckoning in the future, and investors who are long-gold and have investments that aren't tied to the greenback will be smiling in the years to come.

Let's face it: once the economy picks up, deflation will change into inflation. And hyper-inflation isn't far off, as a result of a U.S. government that continues to spend aggressively and issue more curren cy in a thus far failed attempt to jumpstart the U.S. economy. This anti-inflation investment allows investors in the United States to diversify out of the dollar and own an asset backed by a physical commodity that is likely to see greater demand with limited additional supply coming on line in the coming years.I plan to begin with a small position, which I may add to if I see a breakout in the price of gold. I'll also look to add to my position if prices consolidate, which I think is quite possible given the recent jump in price.

Hot Stocks 2009 No.4 How One Tiny Drug Developer Could Take Down The Industry Leaders
by Greg Guenthner

Grab Your Share of a $31 Billion Market In 2007, the global pharmaceutical pain relief market was worth approximately $31 billion. In the U.S., two-thirds of the dollar volume of the prescription pain medication market is for drugs used to treat chronic pain, with the remainder going toward drugs used for acute pain.
Javelin Pharmaceuticals Inc. (JAV: AMEX) designs products to fulfill unmet and underserved medical needs in the pain-management niche. The company is particularly focused on breakthrough cancer, post-operative, back, orthopedic injury and burn pains. Despite the advances in medicine, the company insists treatments for these types of pain continue to be an underserved medical need. That's where Javelin's lucrative new contract comes into play…

The company penned an agreement in January worth up to $71 million that includes double-digit royalties on future sales of its new pain drug, Dyloject. Javelin will receive roughly $12 million in upfront cash payments from European pharmaceutical developer Therabel for the commercialization rights for Dyloject, the flagship product in Javelin's current pipeline. Dyloject is an injectable form of diclofenac, which is a prescription anti-inflammatory drug often prescribed to treat postoperative pain.

Dyloject is undergoing Phase 3 clinical development in the United States - the drug is already available in the United Kingdom. During its pivotal U.K. registration trial, Dyloject's efficacy and safety were shown to be significantly superior to standard intravenous treatments currently marketed in the U.K.

A Faster, Better Treatment
The competition for Dyloject requires dilution and slow infusion into the patient. But Dyloject comes ready to use for immediate IV administration. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as Dyloject, along with opioids like morphine, are often used post-operatively. They help reduce opioid doses by as much as 50%, thereby decreasing morphine-related side effects on the patient.

Dyloject's most significant U.S. competitor in the injectable antiinflammatory category is ketorolac tromethamine. In January 2006, Javelin announced the results of a Phase 2b U.S. study in which Dyloject showed superior onset of action compared with ketorolac five minutes after intravenous injection.

Bottom line: This drug does what it is supposed to do. And it does it better than all of the leading competitors. That's the ringing endorseent for Dyloject…especially since it's awaiting approval in the U.S. U.K. Sales and European Agreement Are Signs of Things to Come Dyloject is already on the market in the United Kingdom, and sales have been growing at an impressive pace. The drug is now on the formularies of 73 hospitals in the U.K., 58 of which were considered gold accounts and 15 silver accounts. In the first nine months of its availability, Dyloject was accepted at 40% of their targeted accounts. The drug has been accepted at 95% of the institutions to which it's been presented. This, Driscoll believes, shows that Dyloject has value to clinicians. It will prove valuable to shareholders, too…

Since Dyloject was introduced to the market, sales of the drug have doubled each quarter. Although that may be a small sample size, it shows the growth potential of the product once it is introduced into a wider market.Javelin is on schedule to complete its studies on Dyloject and submit applications in late 2009 for approval in the U.S. and European markets. The partnership with Therabel helps Javelin accelerate this process.Javelin's a Bargain at Current Prices Javelin has put itself in a fantastic position to succeed. The company currently has $34.6 million in cash and equivalents and no long-term debt whatsoever. Its burn rate during the first three quarters of 2008 was $8.6 million. With $12 million in upfront cash from Therabel, the company is well positioned to wait out approval in the U.S. Javelin feels that the self-medication segment is an area of possible growth. It generally takes 15-20 minutes and sometimes as long as 40 minutes for commercially available oral pain medications to provide any meaningful relief. Javelin says that all three of its product candidates appear to work faster than the oral formulations of currently available prescription pain products. Dyloject has shown to relieve pain in as little as five minutes, a mark that has not been achieved by current injectable anti-inflammatory drugs.

Recommendation: Buy Javelin Pharmaceuticals Inc. (JAV: AMEX).

Hot Stocks 2009 No.5 Abercrombie & Fitch
by Bernie Schaeffer

At Schaeffer's Investment Research, we employ a 3-tiered analysis approach known as Expectational Analysis® (EA) that was created more than 2 decades ago. EA utilizes traditional methods of fundamental and technical analysis and combines these with a third, crucial look at investor sentiment. It is this third layer of analysis that provides a critical edge in selecting stock and option plays. Both anecdotal and quantifiable measures of investor sentiment provide a window into how the investing crowd perceives reality. These perceptions serve as powerful contrarian indicators, as the crowd tends to move as a herd and is, to paraphrase the venerable contrarian Humphrey Neill, "right during the trend but wrong at both ends." A look into the psyche of the collective investing masses, while also taking into account important technical and fundamental variables, can offer a reliable recipe for trading success.

The latest opportunity found by the EA methodology is Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF). According to Hoover's, Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F) sells upscale men's, women's, and kids' casual clothes and accessories. The firm has 1,000-plus stores in North America (mostly in malls) and also sells via its catalog and online. It targets college students, and has come under fire for some of its ad campaigns, as well as for some of its short-run products. The company also runs a fast-growing chain of some 450 teen stores called Hollister Co., and a chain targeted at boys and girls ages 7 to 14 called abercrombie. RUEHL, a Greenwich Village-inspired concept for the post-college set, debuted in 2004.

In early February, earnings rolled in from the trendy retailer, surpassing the consensus estimate. For the fourth quarter, the company posted a profit of $68.4 million, or 78 cents per share, compared to its year-ago profit of $216.8 million, or $2.40 per share. Excluding impairment charges and costs tied to a new employment agreement with its CEO, the retailer boasted a profit of $1.10 per share, beating the Street estimate for a profit of $1.01. Sales fell 19% to $998 million, said the company. ANF stated that it would not issue an earnings forecast for fiscal 2009, citing a tough year ahead. The company said it expects a difficult selling environment to continue.

Abercrombie forecasts capital expenditures of $165 million to $175 million in fiscal 2009, a major portion of which is tied to new stores and remodeling.
Technically speaking, the security gapped sharply higher on the earnings report, gaining more than 10% amid broad market weakness.What's more, this significant bullish gap has placed the equity above resistance at its 80-day moving average. This short-term trendline had capped the shares' recent rally attempts.

As followers of the EA method, we ideally like to see solid price action persist against a backdrop of skepticism, as this implies that there could be additional money waiting on the sidelines that hasn't yet been committed to the bullish cause. It seems as though there is plenty of room on the bullish ANF bandwagon. Options players have leveled some heavy bearish bets against the stock in an attempt to call a top to its uptrend. The Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio for ANF stands at 1.28, as put open interest outweighs call open interest among near-term options. This reading is also higher than two-thirds of those taken during the past year, indicating extreme skepticism among short-term options speculators.Meanwhile, Wall Street has yet to fully jump on this outperforming security. According to the latest data from Zacks, 14 of the 19 analysts following ANF rate it a "hold" or worse. Any upgrades from these remaining holdouts could help to propel the shares higher during the long term.

Overall, this combination of pessimistic sentiment against the stock's backdrop of improving earnings and strong technicals has bullish implications from a contrarian perspective. As investors unwind their bearish bets and jump on the stock's bandwagon, they will help to push the security even higher.

Hot Stocks 2009 No.6 Redefining Pharmacy Benefit Managment
by Ian Wyatt

The way I see it, even through current market malaise, SXC Health Solutions (Nasdaq:SXCI) is standing firm with its two corporate feet firmly planted in two complementary arenas: it's providing pharmacy benefits management services and developing the technology engine needed to keep costs under control.
Bringing down health-care costs remains a hot-button issue, as the baby boomers reach retirement age, Medicaid and Medicare grow, and drug costs continue to rise.

SXC Health, formerly known as Systems Xcellence, is a niche player in the benefits marketplace. Headquartered outside Chicago, SXC Health is a provider of health-care information technology solutions and services to providers, payers and other participants in the pharmaceutical supply chain in North America.

SXC Health is redefining pharmacy benefit management (PBM) by providing a broad range of pharmacy spend management solutions and information technology capabilities. The company is a leader in delivering an innovative mix of market expertise, information technology, clinical capability, scale of operations, mail order and specialty pharmacy offerings to a wide variety of healthcare payor organizations including health plans, Medicare, managed and fee-for-service state Medicaid plans, long-term care facilities, unions, third-party administrators and self-insured employers. In essence, the company's services allow customers to make good decisions and save money.

SXC Health's informedRx business sells management services mostly to government and universities, while its Healthcare IT Group develops the technology behind the services and provides a revenue stream via software licensing.

SXC's recent acquisition of National Medical Health Card Systems expanded its informedRx services, which is a broad, flexible suite of à la carte PBM services, which provide flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional PBM offerings. The acquisition is an essential step in SXC Health's strategic evolution toward being a leader in pharmacy spend management, and gives the company's customers the chance to pick and choose what services are right for them. SXC Health is the only company in the PBM space to offer its clients such a broad portfolio of solutions SXC Health's technology touches close to 1 in every 4 of the estimated 3.5 billion prescriptions written in the United States annually - a plus considering that the health-care sector and health-care IT industry will outperform the market for the next few years.

The company also stands to benefit from demographic and political trends, in that the population is aging and pharmaceutical companies will need SXC's products and services. Also, the new administration has vowed to digitize the health-care system. Both of these trends will positively influence SXC Health's earnings.
In the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2008 earnings were $3.5 million, or $0.15 per share, up from $2.7 million, or $0.12 a year ago. Revenue increased to $318.1 million from $22.2 million. SXC increased full-year EPS guidance to $0.54 to $0.58 a share, from its previous estimate of $0.41 to $0.50. Additionally the company narrowed revenue estimates to $840 to $855 million, from $825 million to $875 million. We forecast the company will earn $0.59 EPS in 2008 and grow EPS 50% in 2009 to $0.88. We expect revenues will be $854 million this year and increase 52% to $1.3 billion next year. The company has made brilliant acquisitions in recent years, which have made it one of the primary players in pharmacy spend management services and information technology solutions.

The company was recently trading at 32 times current year EPS and 22 times forward EPS. These are high multiples in the current environment, but SXCI shares are worth every penny. In fact, shares are worth more. We estimate fair value to be $28 based on EPS and revenue growth projections.

Hot Stocks 2009 No.7 Power Lines and Trees: A Dynamic Duo for Income And Growth
By Justice Litle

They may not be sexy, but it's hard to go wrong with trees and power lines. In fact, we'll be using that unlikely duo to execute this "perfect inflation hedge."
Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (BIP:NYSE). BIP is a limited partnership (though its cash flows are not subject to the same tax treatment as MLPs, or Master Limited Partnerships).

Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (BIP) is a spin-off from a much larger mother ship, Brookfield Asset Management (BAM:NYSE).While little BIP is small and scrappy at $316 million, mother BAM boasts a far larger market cap of $9.5 billion.As a publicly traded partnership, 50% of BIP is owned by investors like you and me. Forty percent is owned by BAM, the parent, and the last 10% is owned by Brookfield directors and management.

BIP was spun off from the BAM mother ship with the intent of being a "pure infrastructure play." The far larger BAM has all sorts of assets on its balance sheet; through the creation of a stand-alone entity, BIP offers a way to pick up direct infrastructure exposure.BIP's primary assets are electricity transmission lines and timber, and they are distributed across North and South America. On the electricity side, BIP owns roughly 5,500 miles worth of transmission lines (power lines) in Chile and Canada (Northern Ontario). Additional power lines in Brazil were sold at a considerable profit in the third quarter of 2008.

BIP's transmission lines are part of a regulated monopoly, which means no competitor can muscle in. As of March 2008, these assets had a recorded book value of $330 million -- more than the value of BIP's current market cap. Using the Brazilian asset sale as a benchmark -- in which BIP fetched a 40% gain over book price -- its likely current holdings have a far, far higher value than the old numbers reflect.

A Toll Road for Electrons
Power lines are a great business. Just as you have to drive to work each day (unless you're retired or work from home), the electricity has to move from the power plant to your house (or the office building, the factory and so on).

Here's why you want to own power lines:
They require very little maintenance and upkeep, so most of the cash flow goes right into the owner's pocket.
Because people and businesses are steady in their use of electricity, those cash flows are very stable.
As inflation rises, steady price increases can be pushed through as part of the contract.

Additionally, BIP will have the chance to build out its electricity transmission networks at attractive rates of return over time. The only thing better than a strong, stable, cash-flow-producing business is a business that can expand on the same great terms. As emerging markets resume their upward trends, electricity use will go up too... and this can only be good news for BIP.

An Infinite Resource
The other thing BIP owns is timber -- more than 1.2 million acres in Oregon,Washington state, and coastal British Columbia. The nice thing about timberland is that, when managed properly, it's an infinite resource. Unlike metals or fossil fuels -- which eventually run out and leave a site in decline -- trees can grow back.
As with electricity, BIP's parent company (and 40% owner) offers four decades of experience owning and operating timberlands. This gives BIP an edge in key areas like harvest planning and managing the product mix.

BIP's acreage is concentrated in premium timbers like Douglas fir and hemlock. In addition, the close proximity to the coast gives BIP an edge on the export side of the business.

Timberland tends to rise in value over time because, unlike the currency spit out of a printing press, they just aren't making any more of it. Timber's uses are many and varied for the global economy, and, like power lines, timber has the advantage of being a high-margin, low-upkeep business.

When prices are high, BIP can cut more timber. When prices are low, they can cut less (saving costs) and let the acreage value appreciate. The timber itself is a renewable resource, and BIP has the ability to book capital gains through the occasional sale of choice parcels for land redevelopment.

An Exceptional Value
Investors are coming back to their senses, snapping up assets that got insanely cheap. BIP's parent could well be buying back shares too, figuring it's crazy to leave them out on the market at such a tempting price. Back in March of 2008, management gave an estimate of BIP's book value (the value of the underlying transmission and timber assets) at $24 per share. I think that is not only a reasonable estimate; it is more than likely a conservative estimate. BIP could easily be worth $25 to $30 per share.

As we prepare for a central-bank-induced inflation deluge, stable, cashflow producing infrastructure assets will only increase in value. Power lines and trees will never go out of style... and the stream of income collected from those assets will only keep ticking up year after year. Buy Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (BIP:NYSE) at $18 per share or better.

Hot Stocks 2009 No.8 Big Profits from Downsizing
by Stephen Rawls

All Americans are changing their spending habits as the economic recession hits home. We're adjusting to the idea of driving the car an extra year or more, to buying clothes at Sears instead of Joseph A Banks, that sort of thing. And while our change in spending habits hurts some, it helps others. As investors, we need to focus on those companies well positioned to profit from these changes. Those companies well positioned to profit from the fundamental changes in the American lifestyle.
One of the major changes that we're seeing now is a turn by the American consumer to private label brand foods to feed their family. As a result, one of the big beneficiaries of this move is American Italian Pasta Company (AIPC), the nation's largest manufacturer of dry pasta. Sales are booming. And so is the stock.

What makes American Italian Pasts so interesting is that it's booming because of several trends. The first is the aforementioned transition to private label foods. A second favorable trend is that consumers are moving away from a meat and potatoes diet to something less expensive, like pasta. And, finally, the low-carb "Atkins diet" fad is now history. Even more amazing in the recession of 2009, American Italian Pasta has actually been able to raise their prices while sales increased! Sales of pasta products in the United States rose 5% last year to $6.4 billion. During that time, American Italian was able to raise prices faster than their costs increased.
For the first quarter 2009, American Italian Pasta earned a whopping $1.23 EPS, up from 2008's first quarter EPS of 43 cents. Retail revenue for the quarter rose 56% to $136.1 million, while cost of goods sold rose only 40%. Overall volume for the company was up some 13%.

From a technical standpoint, American Italian Pasta seems to defy the overall market, making new highs as recently as February 25th. The company is a newly listed issue on the NASDAQ, beginning trading there on November 14, 2008. The company is trading above its 50-day moving average and gapped higher on February 12th after releasing its first-quarter earnings. Since then, the stock hasn't looked back.

With no upside resistance to speak of, the critical technical support level comes in the gap between $27.00 and $29.19. Given the strong earnings report on February 11th, I wouldn't expect the stock to violate this gap. Prospects for the company seem very strong and the company appears able to deliver on those prospects.

Pricing power is something almost unheard of in the economic climate of 2009. And that's one of the things that impresses me the most about American Italian Pasta - it has the ability to increase sales, while raising prices.

One other factor that hasn't yet been considered by most analysts, I believe, is that the cost of raw ingredients, which had been going up for most of 2008, are now in retreat.With higher prices already in effect, any fall in cost of goods sold will reflect directly in higher profitability for the company.

In summary, with American Italian Pasta, you have a company that's benefiting from multiple trends working in its favor. Fundamentally, the ability to raise prices and not affect sales is amazing. With more Americans "trading down" their eating habits, this trend to higher sales shows every indication of continuing. And with their raw ingredient prices now falling, the company will not have to raise prices in the near future to stimulate growth. Rather, the profits for the second quarter of 2009 will come from higher prices already in place, accompanied by falling ingredient prices.From where I sit, American Italian Pasta Company looks like a rare winner in 2009.

Hot Stocks 2009 No.9 Looking for Safe Stocks? Try Channeling Ben Graham
by John Reese

When I began conducting extensive research into the strategies used by some of history's greatest investors some 12 years ago, one thing quickly became apparent: Many of these Wall Street stars, including Peter Lynch, Warren Buffett, and Benjamin Graham, built their fortunes and reputations not by relying on some sort of investing "sixth sense", but instead by using approaches that were mostly or completely quantitative. They stuck to the numbers, never letting emotion influence their decisions.

That was great news to me. Because of my background in computer science and artificial intelligence, I was able to develop sophisticated but easy-to-use models based on these gurus' quantitative approaches.

Today, these models power the research and analysis on my web site, Validea.com, allowing everyday investors to take advantage of the strategies that some of history's most successful stock-pickers used. Since I started tracking them nearly six years ago, portfolios built using each of my eight original "Guru Strategies" have all significantly outperformed the market.

For some top picks in today's market, let's turn to my top-performing strategy -- one that, interestingly, is inspired by what is far and away the oldest of these methodologies, the approach of the late, great Benjamin Graham. Known as the "Father of Value Investing" -- and the mentor of Warren Buffett -- Graham detailed his strategy in his 1949 classic The Intelligent Investor. Six decades later, my conservative Graham-based model is up almost 70 percent since its July 2003 inception, while the S&P 500 has fallen more than 22 percent. Last year, while the market tumbled close to 40 percent, my Graham-based model sustained well less than half of that decline.

One stock my Graham model is particularly high on right now:
Ameron International Corporation (AMN), a California-based firm that makes water transmission lines, fiberglass-composite pipe for transporting oil, and infrastructure-related products like ready-mix concrete and lighting poles -- just the kind of company that could benefit from the federal stimulus package's infrastructure funding.

Having lived through both his own family's fall from financial grace (following his father's death when Benjamin was a young man), and, later, through the Great Depression, it's no surprise that Graham focused as much on preserving capital and limiting losses as he did on producing big gains. He liked stable, conservatively financed companies, not speculative gambles, and Ameron fits the bill. One example of why: its strong current ratio of 2.87. Graham used the current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) to get an idea of a company's liquidity (and the credit crisis has shown us all how important liquidity is).

Companies with current ratios of at least 2.0 were the type of financially secure, defensive, low-risk plays he liked, and Ameron makes the grade.Another way Graham targeted conservative firms was by making sure long-term debt was no greater than net current assets. Ameron has just $36 million in long-term debt and almost $300 million in net current assets, a great sign.

The other main part of Graham's approach was making sure a stock had what he termed a "margin of safety" -- that is, its price was low compared to his assessment of the intrinsic value of its underlying business. Stocks with high margins of safety have downside protection -- they're already selling at a discount compared to their real value, so even if problems occur and earning power declines a bit, the stock still might gain ground because it's so undervalued to begin with.
To find undervalued stocks, Graham looked at both the price/earnings ratio (the model I base on his approach requires the greater of the stock's current P/E or its three-year average P/E to be no greater than 15) and the price/book ratio (which, when multiplied by the P/E, should be no greater than 22). Ameron's P/E (using the higher three-year figure) is just 8.2, and its P/B is just 0.99, indicating that the stock is a great value.

In addition to Ameron, here are a couple more of myGraham model's current favorites:
Schnitzer Steel Industries (SCHN): Hammered when commodity prices began to tumble last summer, this Oregon-based firm has made a big rebound since late November, and my Graham model thinks it has a lot more room to grow. It has a current ratio of 3.2, just $106.1 million in long-term debt vs. $338.5 million in net current assets, and bargain-level P/E and P/B ratios of 5.8 and 1.01, respectively.

National Presto Industries (NPK): Talk about an eclectic group of business segments. This Wisconsin-based firm's housewares division makes small appliances and pressure cookers; its defense segment makes ammunition, fuses, and cartridge cases; and its absorbent products division makes adult incontinence products and baby diapers. Its fundamentals are exceptional -- current ratio of 5.23, P/E ratio of 14.5, P/B ratio of 1.49 -- and, the firm has no long-term debt.

Hot Stocks 2009 No.10 Hedged Investing with Hussman Strategic Growth
by Ian Wyatt

When I recently discovered the Hussman Strategic Growth fund, it was love at first sight. Hussman acts like a hedge fund, providing the fund managers much flexibility in the investment instruments and strategies utilized to capitalize on rapidly changing markets like those we are currently experiencing. Manager John Hussman's disciplined strategy has navigated the mutual fund toward calmer waters amid choppy market conditions, a testament to the fund's ability to achieve remarkable performance in down markets.

Although Hussman receives the advice of key personnel on the fund's board of trustees and at Hussman Econometrics, this mutual fund depends heavily on Hussman himself. He also invests all of his personal liquid assets (outside of cash and money market accounts) in his two funds, clearly aligning his personal interests with those of fund shareholders. Hussman Strategic Growth invests primarily in U.S. stocks with the objective of longterm capital appreciation. It currently has 116 long holdings that include the likes of Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), Nike, Inc. (NYSE:NKE ), Amazon.com, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMZN), Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) and Best Buy Co. (NYSE:BBY). Hussman goes long on individual positions, and can leverage using equity call options. Ninety percent of the fund's net assets are tied up in stocks while the remaining 10% is sitting in cash.

Hussman was down only 9% in 2008, a performance that was the envy of most fund managers, especially in light of the 37% drop in the S&P 500. In the previous bear markets of 2001 and 2002, the fund was up a whopping 14% in each of those years. Because the fund is so risk-averse, its short-term track record may limp in bullish environments, but its long term performance is where investors begin to see solid profits. Given the current state of the market, and the fact that my outlook calls for a range bound and volatile stock market in 2009, Hussman Strategic Growth fund is a solid place to have capital invested.

John Hussman develops a risk versus reward profile for the current market climate, identifying economic trends and valuing individual stocks based on their expected streams of cash flow. For much of the past decade, Hussman has considered most stocks overvalued and did not think they were providing enough reward given their high level of risk.To preserve capital, he hedged the portfolio against market risk by shorting indexes such as the S&P 100. As a result, the fund has been fairly uncorrelated to the whims of the market and has been shielded from the heavy losses many funds have faced.

Since its July 2000 inception, the fund's 8.9% annualized return has outpaced the S&P 500, which lost 4.4% annually over the same period.Performance in 2009 appears to be holding up, with year-to-date returns of 0.25% versus a loss of 8% for the S&P 500 index. Morningstar calls Hussman "one of the steadiest and cheapest options in the fledgling long-short category," and gives the fund a 3-star rating.

Hussman's claimed approach of "investing for long-term returns while managing risk" is in perfect alignment with my aggressiveapproach to conservative investing. I, too, aim to find opportunities for long-term capital appreciation, while limiting downside risk through portfolio diversification and aggressive risk management. The fund is currently taking a very conservative approach to equities, which makes sense given the performance last year. With the bleak prospects for global growth in 2009, this fund should perform well in horizontal or down markets, making it a nice fit within the equity portion of my Recovery Portfolio. Additionally, the fund's flexibility should allow it to perform nicely once stocks begin their recovery.

Making Huge Gains From Bear Stocks Market…

"Each week, I tell my readers to make just 1 investment buy. And since November of 2006, not one pick has lost value! It's no wonder our readers could have turned $5,000 into $1 million in just over 5 years! Now, we're quickly closing in on $2 million ― currently at $1,892,043.04!

Since Steve Sarnoff, options guru, relaunched his elite e-mail Alert Service, Options Hotline, on Oct. 24, 1999, with an initial recommendation to buy Barrick calls...the profit opportunities for his readers have just doubled and tripled and quadrupled...again and again and again.

If you had invested $5,000 in that first recommendation and in every recommendation that followed, you could have grown that small sum into to a quarter of a million by Dec. 3, 2000.

Then half a million dollars by Sept. 30, 2002.

And then to...$1 MILLION by Dec. 2, 2004!

His track record: 100% winners in all of 2008, 2007 and 2005!...92% winners in 2004! 90% in 2003! Steve's record just keeps getting better and better!

WOW! $1 MILLION in a little over five years with a startup investment of just $5,000 in each pick! I'm so sorry you missed the ride. But get ready. Because you're invited to:

Join Steve as he shows you the way to the next $1 MILLION...it's simple and straightforward and we'll show you how with Steve's one weekly option buy recommendation

The stock market of the past few years has produced very few millionaires. You just can't make a million dollars with a $5,000 initial investment on a nine-year average annual return of 1.63%. To do so would take you more than 400 years. . You'll never live to see it, and neither will your grandchildren, great-grandchildren, even your great-great-grandchildren.

Hello, I'm Steve Sarnoff, recognized options expert and the editor of Options Hotline. I'm here to tell you that even if you've never traded options before, you can do it. In fact, it's quite possible you could grow over $1 million richer...just by buying one option a week...in as little as five years. My proven system is all you need.

In the time it takes you to read this letter, I'm going to show you step by step how you can trade options with a minimum of risk and a maximum chance of profits.

Just ask one of my subscribers, Mr. Eckert: "My very first trade using your service was the GE August $30 call. I couldn't be happier with the 116% profit in just three weeks!"

Or Donna, who says, "I am very pleased with your recommendations, especially with the Bank of America. It's unbelievable for it to be up more than 200% in just a few days."

Mr. Abbott, another one of my happy subscribers, confirms, "Joining Options Hotline was the best decision I've ever made...since I joined -- three months ago -- I have doubled my money."

Why are we getting such rave reviews? Simple. I have the track record to prove it: My wins have overpowered my losses, and my small group of readers has had the chance to reap $1 million in profits in just over five years.

And I'm not talking about a million-dollar portfolio that looks good on paper...I'm talking about the type of wealth you have only imagined. Seriously...$1 million on just one investment a week!

Enjoy Doubling Your Money! We have a track record with more than a 100% average gain on every pick since November 2006. Compare that to the pitiful average yields of the S&P and Nasdaq! Here are a few highlights from my decisively winning trading record:

Of the 8 options I recommended in the final 10 weeks of 1999, 7 were winners, ranging from a 17% gain on DJX puts to a 628% gain on Intel calls. You could have made $87,000 on those 8 picks...and lost only $5,000 on one trade.

In 2000, I recommended 32 options that triggered (meaning the option reached the price I recommended for buying). That year, readers had the chance to pocket $173,214.55 in total profits with only $5,000 into each play - MORE THAN DOUBLE what we saw in 1999

In 2001, the year of the terror attacks, I made 45 recommendations that triggered. We had some big winners. GM puts gained 1,202%, or $60,000! Pfizer puts, 431%! Biopure puts, 341%! Total profits that year could have been as high as $216,164

In 2002, we crossed the HALF-MILLION-DOLLAR MARK when the 3M puts recommended on Aug. 16 of that year gained 103%! Total that year - $205,101!

How can I claim such amazing track record gains year after year? Simple. I look at the highest price the option gets to after I recommend it and that's the gain I record in my portfolio. So, you can be sure that the gains I talk about here are the biggest and best possible. And the potential profits are the best you'll see.

Are you noticing a winning pattern here?

In 2003, only 4 of the 39 triggered picks I recommended lost. Readers could have racked up $189,463.32 by investing $5,000 in every pick.

In 2004, I cut my losers in half! Only 2 out of 36 lost! And we HIT THE $1 MILLION MARK on the iShares 20 Year Treasury Bond Fund calls first recommended on July 16, 2004. You could have added $221,300.36 in total profits to your income that year and lost only $363.50! That certainly shows how your wins can overpower your losses.

In 2005, we simply stopped picking losers at all! Every pick was a winner! A 100% win rate. You could have added $217,523.58 by selling your options at the high mark.

In 2006, we picked 36 options that triggered. All but three were winners. The most profitable pick at its peak was a whopping 300%! You could have added $150,375.28 by selling at the right time.

In 2007, our winning streak continued! Every pick a winner. Nearly 40% of the picks were triple-digit winners too. You could have added another $202,635.16 to your bank account ― without losing a single penny!

That's right! Since hitting the first million-dollar mark on July 16, 2004, we've given readers the chance to make another $892,043.04 in profits since. We're closing in on our next million dollars, and I'd like to invite you to join us in this upcoming profit bonanza.

An unbelievable record: I haven't picked ONE loser since November 2006! Steady consistent winning on only one pick a week ismy No.1 million-dollar strategy.
It works. If you follow my recommendations, it can be your killer strategy, too!

In fact, my win rate for 2004 was 92%. That's right, 92% of the weekly picks I recommended could have made money. In 2003, it was 90%.

And in 2005, 2007, and 2008...I didn't have one losing pick. I was 100%!! You simply won't find a better record anywhere else.

In 2008, for example, I had 36 picks that triggered. Only five did not. My average gain was an astounding 127% ― with total gains possible of over $229,000!

You can even check it out for yourself. I've attached my personal Pick-by-Pick Proof Sheet that lists every recommendation I have made since 2006. Like I said before, the gains are calculated at the highest point of each of my actionable option recommendations (meaning the ones that triggered) after I have alerted my readers. You'll see what happened!

While I do not issue specific sell recommendations, with my proven selling strategies, you'll learn how to minimize your risk and lose as little money as possible.

In fact, when we reviewed the over 110 examples of winning options recommended in the past three years and how well they could have done, we found that …

The average gain was over 100% on each recommendation. That's doubling your money on every play! The highest gain was a monstrous 611% on the Newmont Mining December $45 calls in August of 2007. That's enough to turn your one $5,000 investment into $30,550!

The top 39 winners of the past 3 years were all triple-digit baggers! Winners like

472% on Bed, Bath & Beyond February $40 put, recommended on December 18, 2005

420% on Newmont Mining June $40 puts, recommended on April 10, 2005

399% on Qualcomm August $35 calls, recommended on July 10, 2005

366% on SPY November $152 puts, recommended on October 29, 2007

300% on Bristol-Myers March $25 calls, recommended on November 19, 2006

283% on TLT September $89 puts, recommended on March 5, 2007

266% on Newmont Mining March $55 puts, recommended on January 25, 2006

210% on FedEx July $110 puts, recommended on May 1, 2006

205% on Coca-Cola September $55 calls, recommended on August 2, 2007

366% on SPY November $152 puts, recommended on October 29, 2007

569% on Citigroup July $20 puts, recommended on May 25, 2008

439% on QQQQ December $43 puts, recommended on Sept. 21, 2008

These triple-digit winners have been great. Big winners like this are a real high, and when I make any recommendation, that's certainly my goal. Over one-third of all my recommendations from 2005 through 2008 were triple-digit home runs.

But the real secret to making a million dollars with just one pick a week...is not just hitting the triple-digit home runs now and again, it's the solid base hits and the steady stream of winning picks...9%, 21%, 40%, 62%, 80% gains on almost every one.

It's why acting on only one play a week can work. You're not wasting time and risking large amounts of money taking a scattershot approach of buying dozens of options hoping one will sell big for you. Instead, you could be focusing on the one winning trade that matters...week after week after week.

IN FACT, if you were to average out the gains on my picks for the past 9 years since 1999, you'd get about a 115% average gain on each and every play. That's more than double your money average on every pick!

That's enough to turn a $5,000 investment into $10,750 on every play!

Compare that to the pitiful returns of the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq for the same time period:

S&P 500: 1.63 % average annual return from 1999-2007! Actually, from January 1999 through December 2007, the S&P's TOTAL cumulative return has only been 14.7%! 14.7% in 9 years. It's pathetic!

The Nasdaq has done worse....0.64% average annual return and 5.8% cumulative return in that time. That's worse than a savings account …

And forget about 2008! The markets fell up to 40%, sometimes whipsawing around with volatile swings of 3-5% a day!

Just how fast do you think you could build real wealth with those sorts of returns? Perhaps your entire life. It would take more than your and my lifetime of investing combined to even hope to get anywhere near a million dollars on 1.63% and 0.64% returns.

I think you'll agree that my way of trading options is certainly the fastest and easiest way (and it's less risky too - more on that in a moment) to make your FIRST MILLION DOLLARS.

So now you may be asking...

What are options... and why doesn't everyone invest in them?

For far too long, options trading has been shrouded in mystery for the average investor. But no longer. I've been studying options my entire life (my dad, Paul Sarnoff, was a brilliant master options expert), and I have to tell you it's the one investment that truly offers limited risk for unlimited gain.

Many people don't invest in options, because they've listened to all the misconceptions or myths of options trading. Perhaps the No. 1 myth of options trading is that options are too risky, but that simply isn't true. In fact, you can make money trading options in up, down or even sideways markets.

Trading in the actual underlying top stocks is more risky, as more of your money is on the line when you purchase best stock investing. You can buy an options contract for as little as $100 and see it double in price in a short period of time. You certainly don't see stock prices doubling very often or witness the spectacular gains in stock prices that you do in options.

Another big myth is that most options expire worthless...but as you'll soon see from my profit-building strategies, you should sell the option long before the expiration date to maximize your profit or minimize the loss.

So don't stay on the sidelines and miss out on the huge profit potential of options any longer...not when you allow me to be your expert guide and I have an astonishing "double your money" potential in average gains on every pick since 1999! Just take a look at my year-by-year gain-and-loss chart. The proof of success is in the numbers!

I won't give you a detailed explanation of options, because frankly, at this point, you don't need one. Right now, you just need to know how they work and how to profit from them. (I am offering TWO FREE BONUS REPORTS that will serve as your crash course in options. You'll get both of these gifts just for trying out Options Hotline.)

Simply stated for our purposes...an option gives you the right to buy or sell 100 shares of a specific stock at a certain price within a set period of time.

If you expect a stock to rise in the future, you buy a call, the right to buy the stock at a certain price. If you expect a stock to fall in the future, you buy a put, which is the right to sell the stock at a certain price. You're not actually buying or selling the stocks, just the "option" to do it.

And that's what makes option trading a real profit shield against disasters and world events...hurricanes, oil shortages, high gas prices, terror bombings, sluggish consumer sales...whatever! If the stock market goes bearish, then I start looking for puts to recommend to take advantage of the down market.

And we've seen some pretty hefty wins on puts recently. Take a look:

366% on SPY November $152 puts

52% on FedEx October $100 puts

68% on MetLife September $60 puts

130% on Allstate April $60 puts

569% on Citigroup July $20 puts.

And you don't actually have to exercise an option to make money. In fact, all of these staggering gains could have been made on buying and selling the option!

The secret of "SUPER-LEVERAGE"...and how it can make you far richer in a short period of time!

"Super-Leverage" is, quite simply, the potential to make large profits from changing prices while strategically limiting your risk. The instruments of Super-Leverage are nothing fancy...just exchange-traded puts and calls. It's the simplest strategy, but most often, it's the most effective.

The BIG advantage to you is that you don't need to be a financial wizard or have large sums of money to participate. Remember, you can purchase an option for as little as $100!

The disadvantage is that options are wasting assets. And if the underlying security doesn't move enough to give you real value before a specified date, your options will expire worthless. It is a risk...but you're only out the price of the option.

Here's a play from 2007 I recommended that shows you the power of Super-Leverage at work:

On September 17, 2007, I recommended to my readers that they..."Buy the Johnson & Johnson January $65 call, for $200 or less, good this week".

What this means is that I'm recommending readers buy one options contract at $200 (or less) for 100 shares of Johnson and Johnson stock at $65 a share sometime before the third Friday in January. Options always expire on the third Friday of the month.

Now, if the Johnson & Johnson stock climbs higher than $65, your option starts to increase in value. Why? Because you have the option to buy them at $65 a share when others are willing to buy them at a much higher price.

Say Johnson & Johnson rises to $70...that means you can "exercise" your option and buy 100 shares at $6,500 and sell them for $7,000, for $500 in profit minus the $200 (or less) you paid for the option - or $300 net profit. Not bad - a 4% potential return on your investment!

But if you sell the $65 call option (instead of exercising it), in fact you could have sold your option outright for a maximum of $425 and pocketed a return of 112%! Since I suggest a $5,000 investment, at a 112% return, you could have sold it for $5,600 in net profits.

Now that's Super-Leverage, and why options are so profitable...and why you need to risk only $5,000 on my one weekly recommendation.

Here are a few more plays I recommended that produced the HUGE Super-Leverage gains in just a few days, like Mr. Carson's:

Coca-Cola Sept $55 calls, 206% in 8 days

FedEx October $100 puts, 52% in 1 day

Exxon Mobil May $80 calls, 107% in 4 days

UPS July $70 put, 48% in 1 day.

You see why there's no need to buy a lot of options and risk a large amount of your money and hope for one big win to make up for all the losses. I closely look for the one option to buy each week that can make you huge profits in a short time. It's my full-time job...not yours.

My dad Paul Sarnoff was one of the legends in options trading for more than 40 years. Wall Street turned to my dad for the best in options trading advice. He is to options what Warren Buffett is to stocks - a genius! In fact, it was my dad who started Options Hotline, his private options advisory service available only to a select few, back in 1989.

About 30 years ago, my dad brought me into the "family business" - sort of a Sarnoff & Son. For years, I literally soaked up every word he ever spoke about trading options for big profits. I watched him trade. I listened carefully to his reasons. I analyzed his every pick. I did what he did. It was awesome to watch a master trader at work.

As his apprentice, I saw firsthand how my dad raked in profits. And I'll always remember what my dad said to me nearly every day: "Son, options are the best...perhaps the only way to get rich very quickly."

While I was learning trading secrets from my dad, I also earned my college degree, worked on the floor of the Commodity Exchange and founded my own research company, developing my own charting and analytical techniques to build on what my father had taught me.

In 1995, Dad asked me to join him as co-editor of Options Hotline. I was proud that this options genius felt I was ready to join him as his equal. Sadly, my dad passed away in 1999, but his legacy lives on through me and the ongoing success of Options Hotline.

My first solo recommendation was Barrick Gold calls on Oct. 24, 1999. Not my best pick, with a 100% loss, but I made up for it with my next four picks ...

Home Depot calls, 289%

AMEX calls, 150%

Disney calls, 315%

Cisco calls, 386%.

In fact, my next thirteen recommendations were all double- and triple-digit winners!

As a subscriber to Options Hotline, you'll get more than 50 years of my dad's options experience...combined with my over 30 years of technical analysis...for 80 years of options experience you can depend on to give you the winning picks.

I just don't know where you would find a more authoritative source for profiting from options. But don't take my word for it.

Triple-digit gains without buying, selling or owning a
single share of stock! That's Super-Leverage in action!

To illustrate that point, one of my subscribers, Earnest L., told me, "My very first trade using your service was a 50% gain. My second trade is hard to believe, a 750% gain in one working day."

Even though I have had a 100% win rate since November of 2006, I want to make sure that you know losses occasionally do happen. I had three in 2006. But also remember...your risk with options is LIMITED to the cost of the option...not the underlying stock.

But again, you have my promise that I'll show you wins will overpower our losses and you will steadily and surely get the chance to make money - week after week, month after month, year after year...more on this promise later...

To pick the steadily consistent winners, it takes me a week of painstaking research. I thoroughly study the market technicals, the economy and the impact of events upon the market's direction. I diligently research the companies whose underlying stock is the foundation of our options picks.

It's why I only make one solid recommendation at the end of the week. It's the one pearl among swine. And it's why my track record is so good. Quality, not quantity.

Plus, I don't stay in just one area of the market. You can see by my Pick-by-Pick Proof Sheet that I'm researching whatever sector of the market has the potential for big profits...commodities, hi-tech, retail, financial, consumer products and services, health care and others.

This all-around diversity immediately minimizes your investment risk, so you're never heavily weighted in one area of the market. In other words, your investment eggs are all over the place...dodging risks and discovering profits.

And I also employ a unique charting system with a proprietary computer screening program that I personally developed that allows me to be just a little bit "prophetic" in picking the options that can return single, double and triple the gains...90-100% of the time! I am unable to reveal the details of these systems, but again, you can see that they work on my undistorted Pick-by-Pick Proof Sheet.

Don't waste a minute wondering what option to buy... I'll pick 'em. You decide if you want to play 'em. And together, I'll help you make a million dollars!

Obviously, the hardest part about trading options is picking the right options...BUT you don't have to worry about that at all. With my personal Options Hotline Alert Service, you'll get one extremely well-researched recommendation per a week on Sunday night, in plenty of time to call your broker by the opening bell Monday morning if you feel confident in my play.

I suggest you follow each and every one of my recommendations. That's the one proven way I know of that you can be sure that your wins overpower your losses. If you were to cherry-pick week to week, I would be unable to maintain my promise to you of steady incremental gains week after week after week. But the choice is ultimately yours.

The main reason people fail at trading options is that they play too many of the wrong options, hoping for one winner. But one trade per week is all you need. You can clearly see by my attached 2006-2008 Pick-by-Pick Gain Sheet that this strategy DOMINATES! 100% in 2008, 2007, and 2005! 92% wins in 2004...94% in 2003.

Action Item No. 1 toward your MILLION-DOLLAR GOAL: Think it over and call your broker first thing Monday morning and make the play I told you about Sunday night. You won't be sorry.

Now here's how you can make the Million-Dollar Plays to help you achieve Super-Leverage profit potential on every play.

Up until now, I've told you about the importance of buying the one option every week that I recommend. That's the "pick 'em" side.  

Now, let's talk about the "play 'em" side. Here are a few of my proven million-dollar plays to make sure you MINIMIZE your risk and MAXIMIZE your profit potential. If you decide to trade, follow these simple rules. 

The trick to making money with options is simply to play...and to keep playing. I would suggest that you don't pick and choose what recommendations I offer. Be consistent and play each recommendation every week. Staying in the game will help you have your wins overpower your losses.

Take the emotion out of your selling. You'll lose for sure if you get too attached to any trade. So decide on a profit target based on the price of the underlying stock, not the option. To help you, each option recommendation I offer includes a target price for the best stock investment.

You'll discover all of my trading strategies in my TWO FREE BONUS REPORTS I'm offering to my new subscribers: Secrets of a Master Trader: Tips and Strategies for Making a Fortune in Options...AND The Options Buyer's Handbook.

Find a time in the day to review your options and stick to it. It may take you only 15 minutes or up to an hour each day...but do it! As my track record proves, I don't know too many jobs where you can work 15 minutes a day with the potential to make over $200,000 a year!

In options trading, greed is always whispering in your ear, saying, "Hang on, don't sell. It's going to go up/down even more." Don't listen! Be disciplined. Be smart. Grab your profit targets when you reach them and sell.

There's always another winning option coming to you next week. Remember the old adage and believe in it with your heart and soul - maybe even embroider it on a pillow...

No one ever lost money taking a profit!

You can see by my record that I find every winner I can. And you can too!

If you faithfully call your broker every Monday morning and buy one contract, 10 contracts, 100 contracts - whatever you're willing to invest (I suggest $5,000 a trade, but talk to your broker about what's right for you) - on the one recommendation I have made that week...

...and then monitor your open options position at least 15 minutes a day, following your predefined, well-established playing strategies I've outlined above...

...then you can calmly, consistently, increasingly...add profits to your bank account...all the way to a million dollars and more!

My readers have already had the opportunity to do just that in just over five years...with just one option a week. It's not too late for you to start.

Some days, you could add tens of thousands of dollars. Other days, a few hundred dollars. Now and again, you may take a hit...but judging by my undeniable record of picking winners, it won't be that often.

Are You Ready to Become a Millionaire?
If so, then send for my next recommendation immediately.

Are you ready to start making consistent gains on my winning recommendations? Isn't it time you joined the savvy readers who read Options Hotline and start building a million-dollar bank account...and retire rich beyond your wildest dreams?  

Mr. Kinsey knows. He e-mailed me this happy report: "Profits, Profits, Profits!!! In Friday at $1.55 and out Monday at $2.20. That is a quick 41% profit in less than two trading days. It just doesn't get any better than this!"

And Mr. Greene made even more: "I am more than happy and very much satisfied with a net 185% profit in only 13 days!"

The question is...are you ready for mind-boggling profits? Or are you content to invest in the paltry annual returns of the stock market and live in fear of outliving your savings? It's your decision, but...

I think you're ready for my next winning recommendation. Here's how you get it:

Make More Money Than You Ever Thought Possible...

You've been selected to receive this offer because I believe you have what it takes to make a fortune in options. Remember, the hardest part is knowing the right option to buy. The rest is just strategy.  

And with your subscription to Options Hotline, I tell you the EXACT OPTION to buy and teach you the profit-playing strategy and discipline you need to squeeze every drop of profit out of a play without risking a lot of money. This service is not for everyone. You need to have confidence that you can exit the play at a good time for you.

All you have to do is call your broker with my once-a-week recommendation, determine your selling strategies and spend at least 15 minutes a day monitoring your open positions.

In just weeks, days or months...you could be making more money than you ever dreamed possible.

With annual potential returns averaging over $180,000 a year, you'd think I'd ask you for at least 10%, or even 5%, of the take. Well, the subscription price is nowhere near that. In fact, it's only $750...less than 1/2 of 1% on the historical average annual gains! Not much of an expense when you think of the wealth possibilities awaiting you.

Absolutely Zero Risk To Try Us Out!

Plus, you have an absolutely No-Risk 100% Money-Back Guarantee. If for some reason you're not happy with Options Hotline, you can always change your mind and cancel within 30 days. You can start slowly. Consider buying just one contract of whatever I recommend next Sunday night. 

Then buy next week's recommendation and the one the week after that. Or just play on paper.

See where you are in 30 days. That should give you plenty of time to see if my service is working for you.

And if you're not happy with the results in those 30 days, then call us and cancel. No questions asked. You'll get a full refund on your subscription.

If you want to have a little more time to decide if Options Hotline is right for you, sign up for my automatic and convenient quarterly billing - only $260 a quarter. That way you can cancel at any time. It's a great way to take my service for a proper test-drive. We'll bill your credit card every quarter until you tell us not to. No hassle. You just stay with us for as long as you're happy.

And if my amazing winning track record is any kind of predictor...then I predict you'll be with us for a very long time.

If you're wondering if it's worth it, then just read what my subscriber J. Atwood says: "Thanks to you, I made 190% on the eBay call in 32 days and 198% on the Qualcomm call in 16 days. Keep up the good work."

For such an affordable service, here's what you get: 

Options Hotline Delivered Sunday Night via E-Mail

This is the very core of my service...and your chance for big profits! Your one- or two-page Options Hotline Alert is delivered Sunday evening in plenty of time for you to read it, digest the information and phone your broker first thing Monday morning.

You'll find my recommendation of the week, written out exactly in the words you can say to your broker, to ensure accuracy. You'll also get my "behind-the-scenes" thinking about why I believe this recommendation is a potential double- or triple-digit winner, and a brief overview on what's going on in the stock market. I'll also review the status of our open positions, to help you plan your selling strategy. 

Midweek Updates on Open Positions

Since options can move fast, I've also included midweek update Alerts so you can review again where you are on all of our open positions. We'll talk about the direction of the option price, the underlying stock price, resistance and support levels (concepts thoroughly explained in your TWO FREE BONUS REPORTS) and where I see it all trending.

This expert information will guide you to making your smart selling decisions. Look for these midweek Alerts every Wednesday afternoon in your e-mail inbox. 

Frequent Recommendation Update Alerts on Fast-Moving Options

Sometimes, underlying stock prices and options are moving so fast I can't wait for the midweek to get a notice out to you. So I'll send out a very brief "heads-up" on a stock so you won't miss the move. This Alert is sent "as needed," so I can't tell you how frequent they may be. But these Alerts are another layer of information to help you make your most profitable selling decisions. 

Important Bonus! Exclusive Free 24/7 Access to My Subscriber-Only Web Site

With the Internet, you're never out of touch. You get unlimited access to the Options Hotline Web site 24hours a day, every day. This password-protected members-only access is FREE with your subscription. Here you can download the latest recommendations, midweek updates and frequent Alerts from any computer - very convenient for when you're traveling.

You can also review my past recommendations as well. Plus, you'll have online access to a wealth of information about options and options trading from a comprehensive glossary of terms to special bonus reports and FAQs. Answers to your options questions are just a click away, so check in at any time.

It's a valuable offer that can put you on the road to a million dollars in profit.

If you enjoy the thought of making six-figure gains every year, then you're cordially invited to join my small, elite group of subscribers and start making gains from options trading. Just one investment a week and $5,000 per trade is all you need to trade your way to a million dollars in a few short years.

*DID NOT TRIGGER means the price I recommended buying the option at was not
reached, therefore a trade could not have been placed or triggered.

Please Note:
Gains are based on all triggered picks, assuming exit point at peak option value. Percent gain represents the percentage change at the subsequent high value, from the trigger price. Profit calculations do not factor in commissions and taxes. Any dates not mentioned in the portfolio signify weeks when the bulletin was not published. All other dates and recommendations are included.

Just think...you could be richer by this time next week, even dramatically wealthier by this time next year. After all, we've seen on average hundreds of thousands a year in potential profits. There's no reason why you can't achieve the same success as my current readers have.

Now I'm inviting you to join my small, elite group of readers who will profit most from the world of options trading. This group is now experiencing a lifestyle they only once imagined. Your invitation is risk-free. You have 30 days to cancel for a full refund...or sign up for quarterly billing and cancel at any time.

Obama's Stock Investing Strategy For 2009

"Congratulations Obama. You won.

"Now what? You said on January 20 that we've got a lot of work to do.

"I'll say. But wars and Wall Street aside, fail to deal with the crisis I'm about to name — and deal with it immediately — and you might as well write off your presidency now. I'm perfectly serious. This ignored crisis could be the defining event of your first term. And the reason you might not get a chance at a second.

"It's the test you don't even know yet you'll have to pass. And the make or break moment for America itself. The fate of our nation hangs in the balance...

"The greatest modern threat to American wealth, our economy, Wall Street... even to the future of our nation itself.

"Make no mistake, this is a timebomb.

"And the clock is ticking..."

$7.2 trillion is a lot of money.

That's what D.C. has poured into "our" bailout so far.

With even more to come, if Obama has his way.

And how much of that will you see personally?

And how much for your children... your grandchildren... or even their children?

Not a dime.

Every penny is going to the banks... the business owners... the over-stretched lenders... the special interests... basically everybody who helped create this crisis in the first place.

But I'm not writing you to rile you up.

In fact, and this is going to surprise you...

I'm not writing you to talk today about the "Wall Street Panic of '08" at all. Or the elections. Or Obama and the next new era.

Except for how all of those are just pieces and players in a much bigger event... something far more dangerous to you and your money... and to America itself... than anybody in Washington or Wall Street wants you to realize.

How big?

Even today's credit crisis — the one Alan Greenspan himself just referred to as a "once in a century 'Credit Tsunami'" — is nothing by comparison.

No, this much larger, little talked-about calamity is a full on four-pronged attack on just about everything you hold dear... a massive financial catastrophe that could not only wipe you out, personally, but bring America itself to its knees.

Perhaps permanently.

Fail to resolve this, and the idea of America itself could... end. Just like that. I'm not exaggerating in the least.

Here's the crazy part — as big as I can prove to you that this is, not one of today's White House staffers, Congressional elite, or even President Obama himself have proved willing to talk about this event, at length, in public.

They won't touch it. Not with a 20-foot pole.

Even though, short of a terrorist with a nuke in downtown Manhattan, there is no greater threat to you, your money, or this nation as a whole... than the one I reveal below.

When this devastating "four-prong timebomb" implodes, it will make today's stock market blowout look like an afternoon picnic at Disneyland. And at that point, I highly doubt there's anything Obama or anyone else in Washington can do to stop it.

What could I possibly be talking about?

The fact is, America is in deep, deep trouble. Much deeper than anyone is willing to tell you. Thanks to a four-part calamity that casts a shadow on our future much larger than the property bust, the banking crisis, or even the recent $819 billion Obama wants to tack onto the bailout.

Before I go into detail, let me just tell you a little bit about my background. My name is Addison Wiggin. And I've spent the last two years of my life doing almost nothing else but researching this crisis I'll describe below.

I've written about it, I've gone on record with the media about it,

I've even toured America to talk about it. I even co-authored two Bestsellers that warn about this coming calamity in explicit detail.

But by far, the biggest thing I've done related to this is create an award-winning documentary about it — the Critics Choice-Nominated film I.O.U.S.A.

I feel this message is so important, I want to send you a copy of this full-length feature film FREE on DVD. At my own personal expense.

Because I believe this is that important.

In fact, this is quite possibly the biggest event in modern U.S. history. You might think I'm going for melodrama — but see how you feel after you have a chance to hear the proof for yourself. I'm not just worried. I've made it a true life mission to get the word out on this.

Already, in fact, I've given away over 11,500 "pre-release" copies of the I.O.U.S.A. DVD. And while I still have free copies to give away, I intend to give away more.

Along with the powerful 262-page companion I.O.U.S.A. book... plus a new free strategy report that shows you how to forget about the bungled government bailout — and start generating your own stream of "personal bailout" cash, including up to 78 checks you can receive on a frequent, reliable schedule, over the 24 months ahead.

How does all this work? It's all part of a new crisis solution package I've put together for you, called the "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle." And it's yours free...

First, your "bailout bundle" shows you what's happened and how we got into this mess. You'll see exactly how and when the America we once knew was first betrayed. And then, the bundle helps you take the next step, by carefully laying down a plan that includes a direct and personal cash "bailout" strategy... plus up to a year's worth of free "post-crash" stock research.

Altogether, it took well over two years to make the documentary and write the book I'll include. And countless hours to draft the "bailout paycheck" strategy I'll include. Yet, I'm going to send this "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" to you at the rare low price of... free.

For you. For your family. For anyone you care about.

I'll explain everything you need to do to get it in a moment.

Again, I've created this "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" specifically for right now. And I'm going to send it to you at my own expense. I even made a special deal to secure the copies of the DVD. Plus another deal with Amazon.com so I could cover the cost of shipping myself.

All just to make sure you have this "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" available to you so you can protect yourself and your loved ones from the massive shakeout ahead.

Inside the bundle, you'll hear not just what my colleagues and I have to say... but what some of the most powerful and immediately recognizable figures in finance and politics told me in exclusive one-on-one interviews.

Warren Buffett, Alan Greenspan, Steve Forbes, Robert Rubin, Paul Volcker... they and others you'll know sat down with me personally to answer my questions about this crisis. And all you have to do to hear what they're saying about this new crisis... as well as to claim a free "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" for yourself... is explained at the end of this letter.

At Least "25 Times Bigger" Than Today's Total Crash on Wall Street

Former U.S. Comptroller General, David Walker looked me straight in the eye and said this danger you're about to face isn't just big... it's at least "25 times bigger" than the bust that's now drained some trillions of dollars from the U.S. stock market.

And he's not alone.

Billionaire Warren Buffett thinks at least one aspect of this coming crisis is so serious, that when we went to his offices to interview him, he graciously cleared the rest of his schedule and spent nearly two hours talking with me privately about this in his company boardroom.

My friend and bestselling author William Bonner sat down with us too, and told us — on camera — that our failure so far to fix this isn't just foolish... it's "downright mean" and "immoral," as we prepare instead to pass it along to our children and their children.

We met up with former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker in his offices. He talked about how difficult it was to save the U.S. from the "stagflation" hangover of the late 1970s. And then he told me, face to face, "the earlier we take action [on this crisis], the better..."

We also met up with Peter G. Peterson, the investor who made $2.5 billion on the sale of his Blackstone Group. He's so worried about this that not only did he grant us an interview... he put up $1 billion of his own money to start a foundation to help raise awareness. And then his foundation paid $2.5 million to back the filming of our documentary on the matter, I.O.U.S.A.

I'm sure you've guessed by now that the gorilla in the room... the looming crisis nobody wants to talk about, but nobody can afford to ignore any longer... the U.S. National Debt Bomb.

Let me clarify... the $53 trillion national debt time bomb.

Yes, $53 trillion.

I know, that's a very big number.

Almost too big to get your head around.

Maybe even too big to be believed or understood. Which is why I'm going to rush you the "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" so you can see the evidence for yourself.

Your free copy of the I.O.U.S.A. DVD shows you how we've gotten to that number. And the 262-page companion book, also called I.O.U.S.A., gives you the full interviews with the experts that reveal why this might not even be as bad as it gets.

Consider, just the part of that number that we're used to hearing about — the "official" National Debt without our future Social Security and Medicare obligations included — just crossed into $10 trillion territory.

Worse, just in the first 16 days of this fiscal year that figure grew $300 billion — that's an annual rate of 75%. At that pace, the U.S. government would owe $17 trillion by this time next year!

Think subprime is serious? Try imagining how these numbers effectively add up to the biggest adjustable rate mortgage in history... and as taxpayers, we're being forced by Washington to cover the bills.

So far in today's Wall Street wipeout, trillions of dollars have disappeared from world markets... hundreds of thousands of jobs are gone... pension funds have seized up... state governments are slashing budgets and withholding basic services...

Can you imagine the gaping hole this $53 trillion debt bomb will blow through the bottom of the financial markets? Can you imagine the aftermath for the world economy?

In Manhattan alone, we're already seeing unemployment rocket to levels not seen since just after 9-11... in St. Louis, they just canceled plans to fix their airport and rebuild collapsing bridges... in Connecticut, they scrapped plans to build new schools... in Utah, they just cancelled health benefits for nearly 20,000 people...

All from what's just happening right now.

This is tiny by comparison to what this much bigger fallout could levy. You'll see for yourself when you let me send you a free copy of the new I.O.U.S.A. DVD — over a month before it will be available to the general public — plus the complete and accessible 262-page companion book by the same name.

And I'd love to put both in your hands immediately, with your permission...

My New Life Mission

Look, I can understand if this is the first time you're hearing about just how serious this has gotten. Once, I was in the same boat as you.

This just isn't something Wall Street or Washington wants you to know or think all that much about. But frankly, maybe if I share a little more of my background... you'll see how I came to care so much about this myself.

And why I'm urging you to let me share this research with you too.

See, you may know me from my years of working with the popular advisory e-letter, The Daily Reckoning. Or possibly from the three bestsellers I co-authored, Financial Reckoning Day, Empire of Debt, and The Demise of the Dollar.

You might even know already that, for the last 15 years, I've worked hard to help warn my fellow Americans about financial threats much like the one you're witnessing today.

I've also worked just as hard to guide them to new and alternative opportunities.

And I've spent many hours giving interviews on all these important trends... on Fox, CBS, NBC, and MSNBC... to The New York Times and The Washington Times... to NPR... on Bloomberg.com and TheStreet.com...

It's a list so long even I start to lose track.

But it wasn't until I started working on the I.O.U.S.A. documentary that I understood the full scope of the $53 trillion crisis you and I face right now.

And believe me, from what I've already seen — and what you'll see in the free copy of the documentary and the stunning companion I.O.U.S.A. book — I'm convinced this is the greatest danger facing the future of America today.

I also believe that we can no longer wait for our political leaders, new or old, to own up to this situation... we can no longer wait for Wall Street to address these risks responsibly... and we can no longer afford to sit back and wish this would go away by itself.

As I said, the two and a half years I spent working on this documentary had one goal, which was to expose the truth about the debt crisis America faces.

We accomplished that.

And now I want you to see the result.

So much that I've arranged to send you a full, feature-length FREE copy of the film, I.O.U.S.A. And again, that's just part of a comprehensive "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" I'd love to send your way.

What you'll find on the DVD and in the rest of your "bailout bundle" are direct and personal interviews with other concerned Americans... like Dr. Alan Greenspan, former commerce secretaries Paul O'Neill and Robert Rubin, Congressman Ron Paul, billionaire investor Warren Buffett, and many more.

The consensus was unanimous...

This is a threat that cannot be ignored.

I've made it my personal mission to warn you and anybody else who will listen. And sending you my free "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" is part of that effort.

As long as I hear from you while I still have copies left, I'll send this bundle and everything it includes to you gratis. No charge. At my expense. You can find the details at the end of this letter.

First, the "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" shows you what happened and how we got here. Then it shows you what we have to do to steer clear of a complete financial unraveling in the future... including a way for you, personally, to collect as many as 78 personal "bailout" checks of your own over the coming two years.

But before you race ahead, let me just give you a sense of the gory details...

The U.S. "deficit" is the amount our government spends above what it collects in taxes. Washington says we'll need $438 billion "extra" to cover our bills in the coming year. That's a new record.

Every time we don't have the money to cover our bills, it has to come from somewhere. Either new taxes, more swiped Social Security funds... or more borrowing. From anybody willing to cover the loan.

During World War II, the U.S. spent a lot of money it didn't have. But they borrowed most of it directly from Americans, as War Bonds. Today, nearly half of all the money we owe is owed to exactly the countries you wouldn't want in charge of our future — China, Japan, Saudi Arabia... even Venezuela, Russia, Iran, and Iraq!

If you own a house and you can't pay on your loan, you know what happens — the bank takes over your property. What happens when the U.S. government can't cover its debts? Political analysts call it the "nuclear option," which foreign lenders could use to destroy our economy overnight.

At the same time we also buy more stuff than we make, and most of what we buy we get from those same countries, whether it's energy from the Middle East or just about everything else from India and China. That's the "trade deficit" and it's also hitting record levels.

The more money we send there means less money here. For two recent years, the U.S. had back-to-back negative savings rates. The last time that happened was during the Great Depression. Meanwhile, credit-card debt has soared, eating up 5% of the average U.S. family's income.

Getting most Americans to cut back on spending is like trying to talk a cat into taking an ice-bath in a fireworks factory. Yet just by following Washington's shameful example, U.S. families have piled up nearly $1 trillion just in consumer credit debt.

And all this while politicians slather on promises of fat tax cuts and huge, expensive new programs. It took 207 years to add the first $1 trillion to the total U.S. debt. Now we're adding, on average, about $2 trillion to $3 trillion... per year!

With what we'll add to the bailouts this year, we've crossed the $8 trillion mark, total... and not including the $10 trillion the U.S. already owed creditors. Tack on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid promises to Baby Boomers, the total is more like $53 trillion.

Under current rules, the Social Security trust alone will run out of money in less than 10 years from right now. And Medicare and Medicaid? Don't even think about it. It's a problem that's much larger and almost completely ignored by politicians.

By 2012, the National Center for Policy Analysis estimates, the federal government will be forced to stop doing 1 in 10 of the things it does for you today. By 2020, it stops doing 1 in 4. By 2050, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid alone will eat up the entire federal budget.

If you "own" America as a citizen, what's your personal share of the National Debt? About $176,000 and climbing... even faster now, thanks to the bailout. Get out your checkbook please.

And of course, none of this even includes the interest piling up on the unpaid debt, that's added on to the tally around the clock. So far, about $53.9 million in the time it's taken you to read this letter.

Meanwhile, over 50% of the stocks held on the New York Stock Exchange are held by people 60 or older. How big will the "bailout" have to be when they all take the cash to pay for retirement?

You see my point.

The danger isn't just a little bit of vaporized retirement security... it's the very real risk that the entire U.S. economy will collapse, with a "hard landing" for the dollar, third-world levels of unemployment, and government retirement programs that disappear overnight.

And this isn't just tomorrow's problem.

Have you ever wondered why you pay so much more for a gallon of milk than you did just a few years ago? Or why you pay so much more for a gallon of gasoline... health care... or college tuition?

The housing bubble... disappearing jobs... the banking bust... the collapsing dollar... they all have their complex causes, but if there's one thread that runs through all of them, it's the connection they have to America's wasteful, shameful, exploding national debt.

The facts are clear.

Washington policy makers are mortgaging your future... our future... and our children's future. It's unsound, unsustainable, and indefensible. Touch choices have to be made. Preferably now, while there still might be time.

Think about it like this. If nothing else changes, Washington will owe over 240% more than every business in the U.S. makes each year... and it will happen in less time than it takes a child born this morning to reach age 35.

Can you imagine how long you could live if every year your bills added up to more than two and a half times your salary? Not very long. A couple years... a year... six months. But that's where we're headed, if nothing changes.

You don't want to wait for the politicians to figure it out... you don't want to wait for Wall Street to figure it out... because clearly they're not even close to getting this.

This is why I hope... and even urge... you to take me up on my offer.

Let me send you the "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" I've been telling you about. You pay nothing — I'll explain it all at the end of the letter. I give it to you, because I'm that worried about where all this is going. As I said, your "bundle" will do two key things.

First it answers the question nobody else seems to be answering clearly, which is — put plainly — what happened? How did we get in this mess and where did the good life in America disappear to.

Second, your bundle takes you to the next level... showing you exactly how to get out of this mess. As an American but also on a very personal level. Including steps you can take, right now, to start enough regular personal "bailout" checks so that you never have to rely on the U.S. government for your own future again.

Here's a close look at what you'll receive...

"Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" Tool #1:Your FREE DVD of the Award-winning Documentary, I.O.U.S.A.

It's absolutely key that you understand how we got where we are now... and as quickly as possible.

And I know of no faster way to do that than to see a very important documentary that's just now coming out on DVD.

It's called I.O.U.S.A.

And I guarantee that it will make you smarter than anyone you know about this crisis.

Why am I so sure?

Because I made this movie myself, along with an award-winning director and a "cast" of some of the biggest minds and best known names in finance and politics.

It took us more than two years... with over 500,000 air miles traveled between us... as well as far too many nights away from my young family... and many around-the-clock writing and editing sessions... but I can tell you right now, it was worth it.

I've never believed in any mission more in my life.

And I've never worked so closely with something this important.

When you see the film for yourself, I'm confident you'll agree.

But to tell the truth, when I first got the idea to do this... on a snowy weekend in a New Hampshire cabin... I had no idea it would go as far or become as big a phenomenon as it has.

Nor did I have any way of knowing how timely this movie's message would be. See, this all started with a bestseller that I co-wrote in 2005, called Empire of Debt.

The book was a big hit. And I spent time talking to press, radio and TV pundits about it, across the nation — including CNN, Fox Business News, and The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Times.

You're not going to believe some of the people we managed to get on film... and all of them so fed up with how America had mortgaged off its future, they've decided they just can't afford to keep quiet anymore.

People like Congressman Ron Paul, billionaire investor Warren Buffett, and former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neil, for instance... who all play "starring" roles in the movie.

And of course, David Walker, the former head of the U.S. General Accounting Office... who walks you through the crisis start to finish, as we follow him across the country — along with the head of the famous Concord Coalition, Bob Bixby — on his controversial "Fiscal Wake Up Tour."

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, who helped rescue America from inflation in the early 1980s, also steps in, urging action.

So does more recently retired Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, who says more in this movie about how we got where we are than perhaps in the many days of testimony he gave Congress during his tenure.

Then there's Clinton's former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, who oversaw the only years of balanced budgets in the last three decades... along with Peter Peterson, the billionaire founder of the Blackstone Group... who has gotten so worried about the world we're handing off to our grandchildren, he's put up $1 billion of his own money to get this message out... including a direct $2.5 million investment in the film itself. The list goes on...

You might recognize some of these names. Others might be new to you. But be certain, the handful of people desperately waging this "unsung" war against government waste are out there. In the free I.O.U.S.A. DVD I'll send you, you'll hear what they have to say.

Including why this battle against government waste is so important, that losing it could literally mean losing the "republic" our founding fathers sought to create.

As I said, it's free — yours as part of the "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" I want to send you. You can claim it right now, as long as I hear from you while I still have copies left. If this information is so important for everyone to see, why such a strict limit on my invitation?

The First Crisis Our New President MUST Address

I'm sure you can understand... I've come to care about this message. Maybe more than any other I've worked with or written about in my lifetime. And to me, it's not just another news story.

It's the most important crisis in America right now.

See the film and judge for yourself.

I'm sure you'll agree that, now that the election is over and the next White House agenda is already taking shape, we cannot let up on this. We must demand a solution now... or risk watching the whole situation get MUCH worse.

How much worse?

The ticking debt bomb you'll see detailed in your free copy of I.O.U.S.A. will make today's stock market blowout look like a wet firecracker. Next up, much more than the banks will go down.

We stand to lose our entire way of life.

Even saying that, you must think I'm some kind of alarmist. And that's okay. Just promise me you'll send for your free copy of the new I.O.U.S.A. DVD... and watch it for yourself... before you make up your own mind.

And promise me this too... when you watch it, don't watch it alone. Watch it with your family, your friends, and anybody else you even remotely care about.

This is that important.

And yes, as I said, I am sending you this movie at my own expense. Yours free. I cover all the costs, including shipping and handling. As if that weren't reason enough for you to watch this, let me just tell you how other viewers have reacted.

For instance, when I.O.U.S.A. debuted earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, every seat was filled. I almost couldn't get tickets to see my own movie. And when it was over, the crowd gave it a standing ovation. What's more, the judges nominated I.O.U.S.A. for the festival's Grand Jury Prize.

It happened again just recently, at the New Hampshire Film Festival — my home state — where I.O.U.S.A. just won first prize as the "Best Documentary." And in the reviews too, where both The Economist and the New York Times recommended I.O.U.S.A. as critical viewing for every American.

Meanwhile, the Hollywood industry paper, Variety, lovingly called our little film a "stat-studded geekfest" and "an alternately amusing and alarming primer on America's off-the-charts fiscal irresponsibility"...

"This film is no wallow in wonkiness," says the Los Angeles Times, "but a surprisingly sprightly tough-love lesson in fiscal responsibility.

Even top film critic Roger Ebert gives I.O.U.S.A. 3½ stars out of four and says, "... it accomplishes an amazing thing. It explains the national debt..."

Still need to hear more? The list goes on.

The Kansas City Star writes, "Future generations may regard I.O.U.S.A. as the most important film of 2008." Even the Huffington Post says, "Stop what you're doing... go see this movie! This is the single most important film you will see this year..."

During the early release this summer, Canadians crossed the boarder, driving hours to the closest theaters... civic groups in U.S. cities snapped up tickets... politicians bought out theaters in their home towns... and MTV, CBS' 60 Minutes and even the trendy Colbert Report ran stories.

I'm proud. I'm hopeful. But I know we're not even close to done.

Not until I can get this movie and this message into the hands of everybody who has the smarts to understand just how critically dangerous this crisis has become. That's why I want you to have your own free copy of the film.

So you can get up to speed... so you can get inspired... so you know how to protect yourself... and so you can help us spread the message too. Sending you this free copy of the new I.O.U.S.A. DVD is the best way, by far, to make sure all this happens. And happens in time that we can get this on the desk of the next leader of the free world, come January.

Look, this is very simple. Every single financial decision you make personally is about to change. Don't you want to have a say in how those changes unfold?

The bureaucrats won't start talking about this on their own. And the world's power brokers don't want them to. But that's because they're not the ones who will have to pay the price.

You are.

So are your children.

And your grandchildren.

The housing bust... the banking collapse... high energy prices... soaring health care costs... the collapse of Social Security... and trillions in lost retirement savings... they're all tied to what you'll see in your copy of the movie. In ways you never imagined possible.

Let me send you the free copy of the new DVD, at no charge to you, and you can discover exactly what it is I'm talking about. Others who've already seen I.O.U.S.A. are just as deeply moved about this as I am. And I'd like nothing more if we can show you this and bring you on board, as well.

Says R. Einhorn, one of our own Agora Financial readers...

"I saw I.O.U.S.A. last night... Kudos... I have only one thing to say - the film was absolutely the most important film I have seen in my life. It should be mandatory viewing by everyone in the United States... Congratulations. "

And E. Spann, another reader, wrote me directly to tell me...

"I drove two hours each way to see I.O.U.S.A... it was top notch... very well produced and the facts delivered were truly eye-opening... Everyone needs to see this! Excellent movie — well worth the drive!"

Yes, of course I know that we could easily sell these just-released copies of I.O.U.S.A. on Amazon.com. And we will, too. And on that site and others like it, top documentary releases go for as much as $26.95. Personally, I think that's even too little to charge.

Yet, for a limited time... you can get your copy of this award-winning movie... absolutely free. Gratis. No charge. As one of the tools I'm including in the "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" my team and I just put together. And I'll tell you how to get it in a moment.

I have secured these copies by special contract, just for you.

But only if I hear back from you while I still have copies left to give away.

After that, this window closes and you'll have to pay for your copy just like everybody else. But, of course, getting a free copy of the new I.O.U.S.A. DVD is just the beginning of what you get with your free "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle"...

"Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" Tool #2: Your FREE I.O.U.S.A.  Companion Book, With Personal Interviews From The Top Financial Minds in America

Imagine if you could sit down and talk markets with the most successful investor in history, Warren Buffett.

Imagine if you could get solo time in a room with Alan Greenspan or financial magazine giant, Steve Forbes.

Imagine Paul O'Neil, the Treasury Secretary Bush fired for saying deficits DO matter, telling you how he saw this coming... and why he couldn't get the White House to listen.

What if you could ask Paul Volcker, the Fed Chairman who helped end America's last inflation crisis under Reagan, to answer the question, "What's next?"

That's exactly the experience I had while making the documentary I'm about to send.

While we filmed I.O.U.S.A., we met with and interviewed some of the heaviest hitters from both Wall Street and Washington. Robert Rubin... Ron Paul... billionaire Blackstone Group founder Pete Peterson... Arthur Laffer... and our own favorite bestselling author, William Bonner.

I got to sit across the table from all of them.

What would you do if you had the same chance? Well, today you have just that same chance...

Of course you'd want their behind-the-scenes perspective on what's happened to America... and what they see happening next. You'd also want to know what answers they have to offer.

And you'll find all this in the second "tool" in your "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle," the companion book to the I.O.U.S.A. movie. Inside, you'll find the full text of all these expert interviews.

All of these giants are convinced, as I am, we face a much more serious situation than the politicians and Wall Street pros are willing to tell you. And that there's no way to wish it away without taking action, both personally and on a bigger scale.

Listen as...

Warren Buffett tells me what he really thinks of gold as an investment... and he's convinced there's still plenty of hope for America and for investors, if a few very basic things happen (pg.175)

Dr. Alan Greenspan tells me what he still feels he did right during his time at the Fed, along with what will have to change if our way of life as a nation is going to last (pg. 169)

Paul Volcker, who helped oversee the bull market of the 1980s, reveals the one greatest danger the next president faces, plus how he hopes Washington will go about it (pg. 161)

Congressman Ron Paul reveals the Big Lie behind the "surplus" of the late 1990s, shows how America got into this mess, and names exactly what we need to do to get back on track (pg. 147)

Fired Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill gives the blow-by-blow conversation he had with Dick Cheney that cost him his job, as well as the one question you had to ask yourself on Nov. 4, 2008 (pg. 205)

Robert Rubin, who topped the Treasury Department during the 1990s boom, names the one thing that could guarantee America a recovery and years of economic boom.

Plus more....

I recently got a message from the chief editor of a trade magazine for financial planners. In a feature article, he told his 125,000 readers — all of them financial planners themselves — to buy the I.O.U.S.A. companion book and share it with their children.

And he had done the same himself, sharing copies with his two teenagers... because, he told me, he wanted them to "learn by example" how important it is to live sensibly with your money.

Already the book sales have hit #1 on Amazon.com. Not to brag, but the book has even swept right past Barack Obama's book! I expect the copies I have access to, to go quickly — and that doesn't count the 535 copies we've already sent to every Senator and Representative in Congress (all 535 of them).

The book is listing for as much as $19.95 online. But I've arranged a very special deal, direct with Amazon.com, where I will cover all the costs of ordering the book — including shipping — so I can send it to you directly as my gift, absolutely free.

As the second key part of your "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle."

The book and the DVD work very closely together to get you up to speed on the crisis and how we got here... not in a way that's written or shown for economists, but as entertainingly and accessibly as possible.

You'll read the interviews. You'll see these experts talking plainly and candidly on camera. And then, once the book and the movie together make plain the problems we all face... the rest of your "bailout bundle" actually shows you what to do.

Specifically, it shows you how to recover your retirement security without having to count on the so-called government bailout... with checks you can pay directly to your account. As many as 78 over the next 24 months.

Here's how it works...

"Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" Tool #3: Lock in as Many Personal "Bailout" Checks as You Need, Right Now and for the Rest of Your Life

If the free copy of the I.O.U.S.A. DVD and the companion book are yours to bring you up to speed on the broad crisis, this next "weapon" against financial wipeout shows you how to protect yourself at a much more personal level.

Namely, with as many as 78 cash "bailout" checks you could deposit in your bank account over the next 24 months ahead.

Not to mention, as many more of these checks as you decide you'll need... for the rest of your life.

Let me explain.

And I'll start by asking you this: exactly how much of that $7.2 trillion dumped into the government bailouts so far has actually ended up in your personal account?

In case you're under any delusions, I'll just tell you: zero.

Not a penny of that is for bailing out Americans at the personal level.

It goes to the banks. The fat cats. The punk hedge fund managers who, just a year ago, were drinking $10,000 bottles of wine and eating Kobe sirloin in "bottle bars" and restaurants in Manhattan.

Even if you get a government check, don't be fooled.

Because every penny of it came directly from the taxpayers — that's you — already. Politicians put money in your hand... after pulling it right out of your own back pocket. I don't know how you feel about that, but if you ask me it's a raw deal.

Which is why I think you might like this third "tool" in our new "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" even more than you like my movie. Because this is where you'll find the specific action plan we put together that can help bail you out of this filthy mess.

That is, this is where one of my most trusted analysts, former commercial banker Chris Mayer, shows you directly how to collect as many as 78 personal "bailout" paychecks over the next 24 months.

You can even mark the dates these checks will arrive on your calendar.

(The next payout date is March 15 — see the chart to the right for details).

Worried about rising energy costs... higher health care... your grandchild's college tuition expenses... or shrinking retirement options? This "personal bailout" plan gives you a way to make all that worry go away.

Included in your free "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" is a brand new special report, The Ultimate "Paycheck" Portfolio: Double-Digit Yields... Even in Flat Markets.

It details this entire plan... in simple, easy-to-follow terms.

No more depending on bureaucrats... no more fears about the future of "Social Insecurity" or other doomed government programs... no more worries about whether you'll run out of money before your time.

The Single Best Way to Make Sure You'll Never Run Out of Money

This is "get paid while you sleep" money.

You don't work for it.

You don't qualify for it with some government agency.

And there are no age requirements or income requirements. All this strategy does is show you how to tap into an endless stream of income, starting right now.

It lasts as long as you need it. And starts as soon as a few weeks from when you send for this report, with your first check. As many as 78 checks follow, all sent automatically to your account.

As I write this, the next payout dates for this strategy are right around the corner...

March 15, 2009 (two checks)

March 30, 2009

April 1, 2009

April 15, 2009 (two checks)

You can spend them, cash them, save them... whatever you want.

Some people who do this retire early. Others pile the money on top of what they've already socked away, speeding up the growth of their nest egg.

Either way, you start getting paid.

Use the money to help put your grandchildren through school... or go back to school yourself and study something you love... make a fat donation toward a cause you believe in... or just leave the automatic deposits untouched, while you enjoy the security of knowing they will be there when you need them.

Just in 2009 alone, you'll find another 39 cash payout dates already on the schedule. Your copy of The Ultimate Paycheck Portfolio: Double-Digit Yields... Even in Flat Markets shows you how to get started.

One of the best aspects of this is how easy it is to set up.

It takes only about five minutes on the phone with a broker.

And then, that's it. The rest is automatic. No need to keep running to your computer screen to track every market blip. No need to get a ball in your throat as you watch the nightly financial news.

One of the best parts about this — other than the steady cash payouts — is the simplicity and security of doing this. Chris Mayer, who put this whole strategy together, is one of the most safety-minded analysts in my network of experts.

Simply do what he shows you in your free copy of this report, The Ultimate "Paycheck" Portfolio: Double-Digit Yields... Even in Flat Markets, and the rest will take care of itself.

Yes, it's a strategy that can work for you even right now.

This may even be the best opportunity for you to do this in a long time.

The "personal bailout paycheck" strategy works in a recession too. During market volatility. And it should keep on working for you exceptionally well during a market recovery, too.

Just like it's already working for the many Americans who've discovered how this works...

Just this past spring, Richard M. collected two passive "paychecks" worth $3,314 each. He's collected many more just like them. And he'll collect more, on top of that, over the weeks and months ahead

Steve R. got paid $3,600 on April 9... collected another check for $4,200 less than a month later... and took another $3,481 two weeks after that. Without lifting a finger

Former chauffer Vern J. used to drive rich people around to make money. He just got a check recently for $7,700 — money he "earned" in his sleep

Gary C. almost died on Sept. 11. Today, not only is he doing fine, but he just received an automatic passive "paycheck" worth $25,610 — with more just like it on the way

What would you do with an extra $8,809 windfall? That's what Daniel F. got paid in the check he automatically received on June 6, 2008. He'll have gotten more just like it by the time you read this

Jeff E.'s passive "paycheck" deposits are worth an estimated $27,636 each. And he's eligible to get several of those checks sent to him automatically, each year

50-year-old Marty M. doesn't really need extra cash. But that won't stop him from banking his next passive "paycheck," for an estimated $53,331, just weeks from the day you read this letter

Ian R.'s most recent passive "payday" topped $88,719

Then there's Jeff K. His passive "paycheck" on April 8, 2008, totaled around $98,057. That's just one of many passive "paychecks" he'll collect this year.

Once you let me send you a free copy of this report, The Ultimate "Paycheck" Portfolio: Double-Digit Yields... Even in Flat Markets, you'll see how simple and sensible this is.

Once you get the ball rolling on this strategy, the checks can start rolling in pretty fast. A few hundred dollars each month. Thousands of dollars. Even hundreds of thousands of dollars over a year's time, piling up in your account.

Almost regardless of the scandals and shakeouts taking place on Wall Street.

You can get started with very little, and take this to whatever level you need.

Imagine $1,500 to $2,000 extra per month... early on... with that amount growing by as much as $5,000... $8,000... $10,000 or even $15,000 extra.

Just doing what you'll find in the report.

Think of it like an extra "safety net" or think of it like a whole "lifestyle upgrade."

Either way, here's a quick glimpse at what you'll find in the free report...

Automatic "Paycheck" #1: An $838.4 Million Giveaway You Can Still
Tap This Year
This first move pays you back a fat 9% return on the value of the shares you hold in this company. That's already nearly three times what some people collect on CD accounts. And I expect it to jump over 10%, based on estimated distributions for next year.

Automatic "Paycheck" #2: Every Month, a Juicy 12.4% "Paycheck" on One of Wall Street's Safest Bets
This company has paid shareholders at least 12.25% gains automatically on the value of its shares since the company first opened its doors in March 2001. That means it's held true on its promise to take care of income first for 87 payouts in a row. With energy still hitting record highs, this could easily be a long-haul income stream for you, too.

Automatic "Paycheck" #3: The Family Business That Spews Out Billionaires
Insiders have just snapped up 392,000 of their own shares. While still paying a handsome 7% automatic return to shareholders, in the form of cash "paychecks." That's double what it doled out in 2005. And it says nothing about how much your money could grow just in the value of the shares themselves. This could be the best combined growth and income stock you'll come across anywhere. Including an April 2010 law that could double your money.

Automatic "Paycheck" #4: The Safest Double-Digit Payout In America
Right now, this doles out automatic "paychecks" worth 5.3% of anything you put in, which you can leave there untouched. But here's an extra bonus: Even as I write, this solid company has grown shareholder money by a handsome 26.3%. Tie together the payouts and the growth and you could be looking at making a safe, solid 10 — 15% per year, on this one move alone.

Automatic "Paycheck" #5: What Could Be Better Than Making a
"Tax Free" 280%...?
Anything that pays better than 10% automatically, year in and year out, is already a great return. But this one move has also beefed up its payouts by 10.4% every year for the last five years. So you could be looking for a lot more with this one move, with each "paycheck" that's deposited in your account. And the tax benefits make it all the juicier.

You can imagine, it's pretty hard to put a value on a strategy that could give you a steady, non-working income for the rest of your life. Income which, in fact, can grow over time.

I could certainly offer this by itself. It would be a bargain, at any price.

But again, it's also included in the "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" I'll send you, along with your free copy of the I.O.U.S.A. DVD and companion book.

And then, there's one more thing...

PLUS: Around the Clock Coverage of the Only Stocks You Should Own as the Economy Crawls Out of This Hole

Just in case you've got the wrong idea, let me just say...

Long term, I'm not at all gloom and doom.

I firmly believe we'll come out of this crisis. The answers are out there. And getting them across with the help of the "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" I'll send you can only help.

But I also believe that future will look a lot different from what you're used to today.

And that includes the way millions of Americans invest on Wall Street.

See, the stocks that dominated headlines in the recent past... the high fliers without clear road maps... the debt-loaded juggernauts who crash and burn with flare... the "cut and run" companies that take shareholder money and disappear the minute the economy turns sour...

They're finished. At least for now.

And hopefully forever.

Forget the buckaroo hedge fund managers. Forget the pump-and-dump brokers. Forget the fat cat CEOs who bailed out with their multi-million dollar "golden" parachute pensions.

In the near future and for the long-term, the companies that will pull you out of this financial quagmire... are the companies that practice the same principles of financial discipline you and I wish our government would adopt.

I'm talking, of course, about the savers and innovators, the cash-and-asset rich companies with a roadmap for profits and top management that's as committed to the shareholder as they are to the future of the company itself.

These companies aren't always easy to find.

Which is why the crown jewel I'll give you, also as part of your free "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle," is a special, sought-after stock market research service called Capital & Crisis.

I'm including up to 12 free months of this service with your "bundle."

I don't know if you've heard of this service.

Or if you've heard of the genius who created it.

His name is Chris Mayer. And he's not your average analyst. He's no broker or Wall Street refuge either. Instead, he's a hard-nosed ex-banker and financial officer... the former vice president of one of America's oldest and prestigious lenders, Provident Bank.

This has a lot to do with why you're going to want to turn to Chris to find out which opportunities in the market are set to recover... and which are set to give up the ghost.

See, Chris is what you might call a serious "money geek."

He reads Austrian economists during breakfast. He sends me email messages, fired up about footnotes in company quarterly reports. Every year, he's one of those guys who goes out to Omaha for the annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting (Chris owns shares).

But here's what really sets his analysis apart.

Most brokers usually have your money on the line, but not theirs. Not so for Chris. During his tenure as a banker, he managed over $200 million of the bank's own money. What's more, it was up to Chris to make the call on commercial loans to companies worth as much as $400 million and more.

You can imagine, where brokers might barely glance at a company's annual report before recommending shares to buy, Chris didn't have that luxury then. And he doesn't take it now.

I don't know of anybody who burrows deeper into the numbers... digging out hidden liabilities... delving past price-to-earnings ratios and the other standard smoke-and-mirrors stock-picking myths perpetrated by Wall Street.

His analysis is so thorough, it could make even an IRS auditor blush.

And he's always looking for the same thing: Companies that own what he calls "assets that sweat." And lots of them. That simply means, he's looking only for companies caught up in a powerful self-renewing cycle of wealth.

There's never been a great American family legacy of wealth without it.

The Rockefellers. The Carnegies. The Kennedys. Sam Walton's empire. They've all made fortunes building their businesses this way. Chris applies the same theory to building a winning portfolio.

Already, Chris has won plenty of attention with his brilliant approach. Maybe you've seen him on financial shows like Fox's "Bulls & Bears"... Forbes on Fox... and the CNBC financial reports. Or maybe you've read his book, Invest Like a Dealmaker: Secrets From a Former Banking Insider.

About four years ago, he got my attention too.

That's when I asked him to leave his job behind and join our team. Since then, he's lead a group of like-minded, safety and quality oriented market watchers — using what's become one of our flagship services, the monthly research advisory letter Capital & Crisis I mentioned to you earlier.

And he's done it with a steady hand... and impressive track record, cramming the pipeline with one winner after another. Take a look at these closed positions from the Capital & Crisis portfolio and see for yourself...

And just listen to what some of his 47,000 subscribers are saying...

"The Best Newsletter I've Found So Far" "I just want to say that I have subscribed to quite a few investment newsletters before, and this is the best one that I have found so far. You have turned me from a trader into an investor with your investment insights. I would just like to thank you for this newsletter. Keep up the good work."
— R.D.

"Chris Has Grown My Investment by Fivefold in a Month" "You recommended a short sale of Japanese bonds through Chris Foster at Friedberg Mercantile in Toronto. I followed your recommendation, and through careful and constant attention, my small $5,000 investment has grown by over fivefold in a month... I enjoy and look forward to your monthly communiqués. Keep up the good work!"
— J. Redmond

"I Will Be a Long-Term Subscriber" "I just subscribed to Capital & Crisis this month. I've been reading through the back issues of your newsletter, and I just wanted to tell you how impressed I am with your writing style and content (and your track record too, of course). Reading through the archives is like getting a university-level education on sound investing principles. I am very much impressed with your letter and think it is very likely I will be a long-term subscriber."
— L. Prokop

"I Wish I Had Been Reading Such Thoughtful Analysis 24 Years Ago" "After spending 24 years in the investment business (and building assets under management to $350 million), your insights are probably the best I have seen. Your study of the great money managers, past and present, and your ability to succinctly distill, explain and relate their philosophies to your specific recommendations is a true talent. I only wish I had been reading such thoughtful analysis 24 years ago."
— S. Ostlund

"It's Probably the Smartest Letter I've Ever Seen" "I'm quite a new subscriber, but I must say that I really love it. It's probably the smartest letter I've ever seen, and believe me, I've seen a lot of them in more than 10 years. Congratulations for the good job."
— M. Dejolier

I'm telling you this because — especially in the markets my team and I see ahead — I want you to know you're covered, with only the best financial research at your fingertips.

Which is why I'd like to start sending you — with your permission — up to 12 months of Chris' Capital & Crisis, absolutely free. Gratis for up to a full year, along with your free "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle."

It's that important to me that you move ahead in these rough-and-tumble times without taking risks you don't need to take... but without sacrificing performance in the name of quality.

I know of no better way for you to do this right now than with the help of Chris Mayer and Capital & Crisis, delivered direct to your mailbox — and your email inbox, if you like — like clockwork every month.

Of course, you'll get all the same benefits his other subscribers get... including Chris' direct weekly email updates on the markets and his portfolio... plus your own password-protected access to the members-only Capital & Crisis website.

The undiscovered bargains... the rock-solid "lifetime stock" performers... the shockingly safe big growth opportunities... heavy-hitting income producers... you'll find them all in one issue and update after another...

You'll find it all in your issues.

And like I said, this subscription could be yours free for up to 12 months.

Let me know when you're ready to get started.

Just don't wait too long.

I've already given away over 11,500 copies of the DVD and companion text alone. I'd hate for the rest of the copies to run out before I hear from you.

What's more, if you act soon enough, you can receive your first work-free "paycheck" within days!

Unlike Any Offer I've Ever Made (or Will Ever Make Again)

Counting on our leaders to fix this crisis hasn't worked in the past.

It's not likely we'll be able to count on them in the future.

Unless you and I know as much as we can about how they got us here, where we are right now, and what we can demand they do about it — immediately — while there's still time.

I must hear from while I still have FREE copies of the I.O.U.S.A movie and book to give away. After that, your chance to get this "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" FREE could expire forever.

As I said, it doesn't have to cost you a dime.

Simply follow the order instructions at the end of this letter. And that's all you need to do to receive your "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" immediately.

It's that simple.

If you're still on the fence, then let me just put it to you this way...

Look around you to see where we are now. With their homes, most Americans are in a hole. On Wall Street, most Americans are in a hole. And in Washington, we're in a very deep hole — the deepest in history.

Trillions of dollars are already gone. Vanished. Trillions more, in future security, are now on the line. Think ill-conceived bailouts and modest rallies can bring back that sense of security you had not so long ago? Think again. We have crossed a bridge. And it has collapsed behind us.

Do you want to wait to find out where we're headed next?

Or would you rather know right now, while there's still something you can do about it... both to protect yourself and your loved ones... and maybe do something to help change the course for America.

If what you'll see in the movie I'm sending you is any indication, our destiny is still in flux. The outcome could be ugly... but it could also be miraculously positive.

And it can all depend on the step you choose to take... or not take...

Right now.

My Strictly Limited Invitation

As I said, I only have a limited number of the just-released I.O.U.S.A. DVDs that I can give away. And I've already given away 11,500 copies so far — not including the 535 copies we rushed to each member of Congress.

If the remaining supply of DVDs and companion texts runs out, you're out of luck — you'll have to wait until the movie goes up for sale to the general public on Amazon.com.

But I'm hoping that won't be the case.

I'd much rather send it to you now free of charge.

So let's just run through all this again quickly. Send for the FREE "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" I've put together and...

You'll immediately go on the rush delivery list for a full copy of the new I.O.U.S.A. DVD, the award-winning documentary that won a standing ovation at Sundance... and that lays bare the "unmentionable" crisis about to knock America off its feet. Other films like this list on Amazon.com for $26.95, but your copy of this DVD is absolutely free.

I'll also rush you the companion book to the I.O.U.S.A. movie, which comes complete with full personal interviews on the crisis — with Warren Buffett, Congressman Ron Paul, Dr. Alan Greenspan, Paul Volcker, Steve Forbes, former Treasury Secretaries Robert Rubin and Paul O'Neill, William Bonner, and more. This book already hit #1 on Amazon and lists for $19.95. Your copy, as part of the "bailout bundle," is also free.

You'll also immediately discover how to line up your own personal "bailout" checks, with the help of the brand new special report I'll include, The Ultimate "Paycheck" Portfolio: Double-Digit Yields... Even in Flat Markets. The simple strategy inside can help you line up as many as 78 cash paychecks over the next 24 months... plus more of these income paychecks, for as long as you need them. To put a price tag on this strategy is impossible, but your copy of the report that explains how it works is also yours completely free of charge.

Along with your package deal, you'll also get up to a full year FREE of Chris Mayer's highly acclaimed stock-market research letter Capital & Crisis. It's one of the most successful and best loved services I publish, and normally lists at $159 per year. But you'll get up to 12 issues — a full year's worth — free when you accept my invitation below.

And of course, everybody who receives Chris' Capital & Crisis letter also gets Chris' weekly portfolio updates — sent directly to your email inbox — and a private password to Chris' members-only Capital & Crisis website.

Can I just say, about Capital & Crisis, it's easily the one research letter in my stable that makes me consistently proud. And Chris' current readers definitely agree.

His reader retention rates — that's the number we look at to see how many subscribers stick around to hear more of what Chris has to say — are among the highest in the business.

This is why I normally list Chris' letter and all of these bonuses for $159 per year — a price we've already had to raise once because this special deal has already been so popular. But I believe so much in this message, I've decided to keep it simple for just a little longer.

Today, you can get up to a full year free, along with the rest of your deal.

But here's the thing. I don't just want to give away my limited I.O.U.S.A. copies or Chris' letter to anybody who isn't as serious about today's situation as I am.

So I'm asking you to make a small gesture to show you're committed.

It's simply this... as you accept your free gifts — the book, the DVD, and the special "Paycheck Portfolio" lifetime income report — simply agree to also try Chris' Capital & Crisis letter for up to two years. That's all.

If you agree to sign up for Chris' Capital & Crisis for two years, I'll throw in the second year absolutely free. That is, you'll get a full 24 issues — two years worth — while paying just $129 for everything. That's actually better than half off.

Quite a deal.

However, if you'd rather take a smaller step, that's okay too.

Just agree to sign up for Capital & Crisis one year. And again, I'll cut the new $159 per year price in half to just $79 — that's like paying only for the first six months... and then getting the second six months absolutely free.

Also a very good deal.

And of course, remember you're getting all those free months worth of "re-bound" stock research included with your free copy of the new I.O.U.S.A. DVD... plus the just-printed, 262-page I.O.U.S.A. companion book... and the special personal "bailout" cash stream strategy you'll find in your free copy of Chris' newest report, The Ultimate "Paycheck" Portfolio: Double-Digit Yields... Even in Flat Markets.

All in one "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" — yours free today.

But Didn't I Say "No Catch?"

But wait... didn't I say, early in this letter, you could get everything in your "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" with no strings attached?

I certainly did. And I'm going to stick to that promise.

So here's how the last and most important part of this invitation works...

If at any time whatsoever in the first 90 days of your membership you decide that Chris' 100% trial subscription isn't for you, you can cancel for a full refund of your initial subscription deal. And by 100%, I mean a full cash refund check sent directly to you... that covers every penny you originally paid to subscribe. No questions asked. And, if you decide to cancel after that initial 90 days, you will receive a full refund for all of your unsent issues.

And by the way, I don't care if you call me on this deal on the 89th day of your subscription. The refund is yours to claim, if you don't like everything I send.

And yes, you still get to keep everything. Including the DVD, the book and the special report. In case you don't want to do the math, let me just add this up for you...

Everything included in the "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle," from the DVD (worth at least $26.95), the special companion book (lists for $19.95), the special income stream strategy report ($59), and up to a year's worth of Capital & Crisis at today's published price ($159)... adds up to just under $265.

That's $265 worth of market insight, protection, and strategy... at a time when millions of Americans need it most... and that doesn't even include the $21 in shipping charges I'm going to eat on my end, just for the book and DVD... or the costs of producing and mailing your issues and the special report, which we also cover.

Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of air miles and other travel expenses we wracked up while making the film... or the cost of keeping a guy as high-level as Chris Mayer on our team.

Yet, I'm making it all available to you today... free.

No charge if you accept my invitation to join Capital & Crisis.

Like I said, however, I don't have millions of "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundles" to give away. It's a limited number of copies. And then your only alternative is to go to the web or a bookstore and pay for a copy out of your own pocket.

I've already given away over 11,500 of these free copies... I have some more left, but that supply won't last forever.

When they're gone, that's it. You're out of luck.

Invest In Gold Stocks Right Now!

Asset classes go up and down. Precious metals are, of course, another asset class. They move with the economic tides. In the past 30 years, gold has rocketed up and plummeted down.

At several points in the past 30 years, things were so bad that gold sellers were like the proverbial Maytag repairman. They led lives of quiet desperation about which no one cared. Because like the late Rodney Dangerfield, gold got no respect.

Heck, between 1999-2002, the British government sold a large amount of its national gold, nearly 395 tonnes (metric tons), for about $275 per ounce. The Bank of England used the proceeds to purchase (ahem) "high-yielding" assets, like bonds. I suppose it seemed like a good idea to somebody. But really. In hindsight, how dumb was that? The British used to fight wars for gold (remember the Boer War, anyone?) Now they're selling gold to buy bonds? They used to hang people for lesser crimes.

Last March 2008, gold sold for over $1,000 per ounce. Then the price retreated 30% as oil rocketed from about $100 to $147 per barrel. But even though gold fell back in price, it was still selling, on average, for almost three times what the Brits took in less than a decade ago. You didn't do that with bonds. So the lesson is that we have to keep our eyes open about cycles and trends, even with something like gold.

Just in the past six months, almost every nonprecious metal asset class has been headed down. The stock markets have been tanking. Prices for everything from aluminum to zircon are way down. Oil has been bottom-fishing. The world is sliding downhill into deep recession. It's a long litany of bad news out there. Except for precious metals, which have held their own.

Lately, precious metals have been in a stealth rally. It was not front-page news, until last week when gold touched the $1,000 mark again. Operating gold miners hit lows in October 2008…and they've all been rising in the markets ever since.

Investors in a Mass Migration to Gold and Silver

What's going on? It's a worldwide trend. Investors have been flocking to gold and silver. There's a money migration going on. And I mean BIG money is migrating. It's like those herds of zebras or wildebeests or gazelles in Africa. When they migrate, the earth shakes and the ground is just a moving kaleidoscope of hides and footprints. The dust clouds blow high into the sky.

Yes, the world economy might be in a recession. People across the world are worried about their job and security for their family. But other people with big bucks are scooping up gold and silver. Those buyers are looking for investment safety.

Moneyed investors don't trust the world's governments or paper currencies. So they are going with gold and silver. The mines and mints are having trouble keeping up with demand. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs like, for example, SPDR Gold Shares, GLD are buying huge volumes of gold and silver. (And they ought to be buying more. At the margins, at least, it appears that even the ETFs are holding "paper" gold rights, as opposed to the real McCoy metal.)

Who's Holding the Metal?

Let's look at silver. In January 2006, the total silver held in ETFs was about 40 million ounces. By January of this year, 2009, the total silver in ETFs exceeds 280 million ounces. That's an increase by a factor of seven in just three years.

The story with gold is just as dramatic. Who ever heard of a gold ETF until just a few years ago? But by the end of 2008, gold holdings of ETFs reached a record level of 1,090 tonnes, according to the World Gold Council (WGC). Thus, ETF holdings now exceed those of Switzerland and many other large and important nations. (Check the listing below.) In the fourth quarter of 2008, investors purchased ETF gold interests representing 96 tonnes of gold. (Far more than the total gold reserves of Australia.) This followed the purchase of an unprecedented 145 tonnes (more than the reserves of Saudi Arabia) in the previous quarter, according to the WGC. These are astonishing levels of demand, where there was almost none just a few years ago.

Just for comparison, here are the approximate gold holdings of a list of major countries as of the end of 2008, plus the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank. Wow!

Gold Holding and Gold Hoarding

Much of the gold in the vaults of the worlds' central banks has accumulated over many decades. Much of the U.S. government gold reserve, for example, dates from the national gold confiscation of 1933 under President Franklin Roosevelt. Roosevelt had a compliant Congress to do his bidding. Eventually, even the Supreme Court backed him up. So what's that old expression? "It CAN happen here."

Many other countries of the world are currently buying gold, fresh from the mine. Today, China is the world's largest gold-producing nation, and its central bank is buying and building reserves. Russia, too, has a tradition of holding gold and today is acquiring gold from its own mine output and via purchases on international markets. Or look at tiny Qatar, a small nation in the middle of the Persian Gulf. Qatar had only 8 tonnes of gold about three years ago. Now it has 12 tonnes, an increase of 50% in a very short time. What do the Chinese, the Russians or the Qataris know? They know that they want gold. They can buy it. They will hold it. And they are hoarding it.

The Feel of Real Gold ― Useful Weight Gain

I've mentioned on many occasions that I like holding precious metals. I like holding metals as an investment and I just like the feel of the stuff. At the "elementary" level (yep, that's a pun), you can hold physical metals. If you've never felt the coolness and heft of a shiny gold $50 Eagle or a Canadian Maple Leaf in your hand ― let alone a fine old specimen of a $20 coin from the days of old in the U.S. ― you've missed something. Really, the only thing better than holding an Eagle or Maple Leaf is holding an entire roll of 20 of them.

When I was in South Africa last year, I visited a refining operation and actually picked up a gold brick. It was almost right out of the melting pot. The brick was still warm, and the darn thing weighed about 75 pounds. That's what I call "useful weight gain." Too bad I couldn't bring it home with me. But the armed guards at the refinery might have objected.

I've never made a formal Outstanding Investments recommendation for buying a particular kind of gold or silver coin, or ingots from this mint or that or any such thing. Those kinds of gold purchases are too hard to track in a newsletter like this. So I've recommended gold and silver miners and their shares. But over the past couple of years, I hope you've had the chance to acquire some real metal for your portfolio. Agora Financial has been banging the golden drum for at least 10 years. If you have never bought any gold, it's still not too late. I think that the recent visit to $1,000 is just the beginning of another great wave of gold buying. I won't be surprised to see $3,000 gold.

Coins and ingots are the kinds of things you keep in your bank safe deposit box or in a well-hidden home safe. Some people keep them in their "second" home safe. Why a second safe? Well, the first safe is the one with a few hundred bucks of cash and some good-looking costume jewelry in it. You would open the first safe if a robber broke into your house and held a gun to your head. (Sorry, I'm not kidding. We live in a tough world.)

And for as much as I urge you to own some gold or ingots, you should never talk about it. OK, you might tell a few family members or maybe a trusted friend or two. But the fact that you have a stash of real gold is too valuable to broadcast or advertise. As I said above, "It CAN happen here." It already has happened here. It might happen again, if things get too rough out there.

For all the talk in Washington about getting the national economy back on track and spending under control, I think you still need to keep an eye on gold and silver. Get some. Own some. Hold some.

A few days ago Byron King recommended GLD, the exchange traded fund (ETF) for gold. A Shooter was aghast…"Surprised that Whiskey is recommending the GLD ETF. The ETF takes delivery?! Are you sure? You mean they actually have all that gold in their own physical possession rather than pieces of paper promises from JP Morgan? Come on, Whiskey, I trusted you guys. I thought you were on the side of the angels, not promoting the Made-offs of this world.

"Yours,
"A concerned reader,

"P.S. Central Fund of Canada or James Turk's Gold Money would be a more honest and safe recommendation."

Many have pointed out that these funds are designed to track gold and they may not actually have any ownership or even potential ownership of what they track (though we like James Turk's Gold Money a lot, too).

Let me be clear: an ETF is just a way to profit from gold's rise, not to own gold. They're only one part of the equation; private, personal, physical ownership is something both separate and vital.

But a Shooter wonders, "How can a poor person buy gold? Can it be bought over time? Tell me [because] I would like to get started if there is a way."

You can certainly buy little bits of physical gold, but there is a monstrous premium.

As I write this an ounce of gold costs about $935 at the mouth of the mine and an actual 1-oz Krugerrand will run you about $50 over that…because that mining, transport, smelting and minting all cost money. So you can buy an ounce of gold for a little under $1000, about a 5% markup.

Gold Eagles come in half, quarter and one-tenth ounce denominations, but the premiums currently run at about 50%…or more. A tiny gram bar ― just 0.035 oz ― costs about $45…or $17 more than the $28 worth of gold in it, a 60% markup. Ouch.

So yes, a poor person can buy gold, but he's going to pay dearly for the little bit he can afford at a time. What to do then…?

And as I was typing this up, I received this e-mail:

"Over the past two months I have been watching the market and reading as many articles on silver as I can find. I, like a lot of people, do not trust the government or the stock market. I was wondering what the advantages are of physically having coins or bullion as an investment over having top stocks. I like the idea of it. Literally holding on to my investment, but am looking to get other opinions. My family all say I should just put my money into CD's and money market accounts. But I still even question the longevity of those. My gut keeps telling me to go with silver."

My gut agrees with yours. Gold is a fantastic medium for men such as Croesus, but then there's silver for the rest of us.

There's a premium on silver, too…but you still get a good amount for your money. And buying a few ounces here and there is actually within your grasp even if you only have a few fiat dollars to convert to real money at the end of the month.

The markup is usually worse with one-ounce rounds. As I write this you'd pay about $17 or $18 for a round that contains $13 of silver. Ten-ounce bars are beautiful and about $150 or so for the $130 of silver in them, certainly a better deal if you can manage it. 

Your Whiskey Bar manager is rather used to poverty and has had to purchase his metals in very modest amounts. And as much as he loves gold he's always leaned toward silver because it's what he could more easily afford.
