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.

Two BONUS GIFTS That Are Your Crash Course on Options!

In addition to the comprehensive source of information you will find on our subscribers-only Web site, I'm offering you two FREE handbooks that will help you use the Options Hotline service to its fullest. Separately, each handbook will give you a working knowledge of trading options, but together, they're the perfect crash course on options.

Start your options education today with these easy-to-read guidebooks, both written in everyday English, so you're up to speed on options in no time:

1. The Options Buyer's Handbook

2. Secrets of a Master Trader: Tips and Strategies for Making a Fortune in Options
The secret to winning at options is to keep playing. Options are not like the lottery or the luck of the draw. It all boils down to your selling strategies (especially since I'm telling you what to buy each week). To really succeed, you need a plan of action. And Secrets of a Master Trader is your playbook. It contains the secrets of two of the best options analysts the business has ever known...my dad, option genius Paul Sarnoff, and me.

You can't get secrets like this at any bookstore or Web site. They're reserved only for subscribers to Options Hotline. You'll receive these exclusive Secrets via e-mail the moment I hear from you.

Read the details about how my TWO FREE BONUS GIFTS will give you the chance to profit trading options on the enclosed flyer. Please don't pass up this chance to profit on the unlimited potential (but limited risk) of options trading with your subscription to Options Hotline.

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.
