Liquid Gold Stocks to Buy For 2011

I guarantee you've never heard about this opportunity before...

Our friend and colleague Peter Schiff has unearthed what could be the single smartest gold investment ever.

I'm not talking about a top stock to buy...or a fund...or futures contracts...or options...or gold coins...or physical gold...or a gold certificate.

This is a completely new form of "money"...now approved by the U.S. Treasury Dept. and fully backed by gleaming bars of 24-karat gold.

And according to Schiff's research, simply holding some of America's new "legal tender" in your account could easily double your savings over the next 6-9 months...automatically. (You can easily convert as little as $10 regular dollars, or $10 million. It's up to you.)

The U.S. Treasury Dept. has officially approved an historic switch.

Starting days from now, you'll be able to exchange regular paper dollars for a more valuable form of money.

Experts are calling America's new legal currency "Gold Dollars."

Because each "dollar" is backed by one gram of pure, 24-karat gold...

You'll be able to use this money just like regular dollars. You can buy anything from shoes to wine, cars to houses.

The only difference?

Since the money is backed by physical gold (stored in Fort Knox-like security), it could prove the smartest "investment" you ever make.

The purchasing power of each "dollar" goes UP whenever gold rises. The value of your savings account could soar...

Every time Congress passes another trillion-dollar spending package, fueling inflation...

Every time the world flees into gold thanks to geopolitical instability (think North Korea successfully testing a nuclear bomb)...

Every time massive hedge funds and Wall Street firms pile into gold to hedge their equity positions...

Every time countries like China move out of the U.S. dollar and buy massive quantities of gold, like the 1,054 tons they now hold.

And considering where gold is likely headed, this could be the perfect time to change some money over to the new currency.

As Reuters reported March 9: "Gold may reach $2,000 an ounce in the next year if the dollar falls [further]."

Richard Russell wrote in his Dow Theory Letters on May 19: "Gold seems on a roll now."

Dennis Gartman said on May 20 that "the dollar does look vulnerable... if this persists, commodity prices generally shall rise, and gold shall too." And MarketWatch now reports that gold could be on the verge of a "historic breakout."

As you'll see in this report, making the switch to "Gold Dollars" could not only protect your savings against coming market shocks, it could automatically double your money over the next 6-9 months.

Even better...

You don't have to move all your savings, or make any big decisions. You can start with as little as $30. Converting to "Gold Dollars" takes about five minutes. Anyone can do it online, securely, using your regular savings account.

And one of the country's leading gold analysts, Peter G. Schiff, will show you exactly how, for free.

The Easiest, Safest Way to Play the Gold Boom

Thanks to his network of powerful contacts in the monetary-policy realm, Peter Schiff is once again way ahead of the pack on this latest investment breakout.

As President of Euro Pacific Capital, and one of CNBC's star analysts, Schiff has garnered plenty of controversy for the boldness and clarity of his predictions. But while he's often controversial, he's almost never wrong.

Schiff called the Tech Wreck in 1999, saving his clients at Euro Pacific Capital a fortune when the Nasdaq lost more than 70% of its value.

He called the sub-prime crisis and housing crash, just before the bottom fell out in late 2006.

He sounded the alarm on the coming U.S. equity meltdown of 2008, just before trillions were lost in the firestorm that decimated the S&P by 40%-plus.

Last year, his blockbuster book Crash Proof helped more than 50,000 readers protect and grow their wealth right through the crisis. It rocketed atop the New York Times bestseller list as a result.

Had you followed the gold strategy Schiff recommended in his first book, you could have ended 2008 well in the black.

But his newest gold recommendation - "Gold Dollars" - could be even more profitable.

Schiff reveals exactly how to play it on page 123 of his brand-new blockbuster, called Bull Moves in Bear Markets.

Not only will you learn the simplest, safest way to switch some of your savings into "Gold Dollars" today...

You'll pay absolutely nothing for the privilege.

Because you're getting Bull Moves in Bear Markets - for free.

I'll show you how to claim your complimentary copy in one moment.

First let's take a closer look at how "Gold Dollars" could literally double your savings over the next 6-9 months... automatically...

 

How "Gold Dollars" Can Double Your Savings

Investors the world over are sensing an explosion in gold prices. And it appears that the lid's finally about to blow.

According to the prestigious World Gold Council, total demand for gold jumped 38% in the first quarter... to 1,016 tons.

Meanwhile, demand for gold as an investment rocketed 248%, to 596 tons.

But this is merely the tip of the iceberg. (See sidebar.)

10 Reasons Gold's About to Soar

The Stimulus Effect: Including $1 trillion in cash infusions, the stimulus plan will pump $9.7 trillion into the economy, according to Bloomberg. As the Globe & Mail reports flatly, "Many believe that the monetary stimulus efforts will cause a spike in inflation," driving gold higher.

COMEX Traders Predict $1,600 Gold... by December: If gold trades at or above $1,600 by December, some 100,000 call option contracts will be "in the money." Big-money players Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan are reportedly helping to drive the action, ahead of a huge purchase of gold futures contracts.

"Big Money" Inflows: In 2008, NYC-based hedge fund Paulson & Co's flagship fund returned 37%, as the world markets burned. Paulson's bullish on gold, big time, including the Mar. 17 purchase of 39.9 million shares of AngloGold, worth $1.28 billion. Other major hedge funds are piling into gold, too, including Eton Park Capital, Greenlight Capital and Hayman Advisors.

China's Doubling Down! China just revealed that it has doubled its gold holdings to 1,054 tons. Yet that still only equals 1.6% of its overall reserves. As China moves out of U.S. Treasuries and into gold, this will help fuel the next leg of the run-up.

Demand Building across the Board: Worldwide demand for gold jumped by $29.7 billion in the first quarter, a 36% bolt, according to the World Gold Council. Demand for gold ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) rocketed 540%... another trigger for the coming gold boom.

The Paper Dollar's 30% Drop: Since 2001, the U.S. Dollar Index has tanked 30%... while gold has risen 300%. With all the downward pressure on the dollar, and inflation on the way, this trend is about to pick up steam.

Gold/Dow Ratio Signals $8,000 Gold: During major gold bull markets (and corresponding equity bears), gold and the Dow converge at a 1-to-1 ratio. During the last gold bull, the Dow sank to 850 and gold rose to $850. The Dow is now over 8,000... But even if it fell to 4,000, we could see $4,000 gold before this bull run is over!

U.S. Treasury Dept. Signals $5,468 Gold: Currently, the U.S. government holds about 286.9 million ounces of gold. It has printed about $1.569 trillion worth of paper dollars. If each dollar were backed by gold, that would put the price at $5,468.80 an ounce.

Riding the "Commodity Super Cycle": Jim Rogers expects the Commodity Super Cycle to drive commodity prices higher for another eight years... including gold. And he's stockpiling the yellow metal by the day. Every pullback, says Rogers, is another buying opportunity. Considering he's been dead right on every major trend of the past 40 years, we wouldn't bet against him.

Historic Model Predicts $6,214 Gold: During the last gold bull, the yellow metal ran from $35 an ounce to $850, a 24-fold increase. This bull started with gold at $255.95, meaning that if historic trends hold, the price target would be $6,214 an ounce.

Quietly, behind the scenes, professional gold traders - those who actually set gold's price on the floor of New York's COMEX - are positioning themselves for a massive uptick in gold. In fact, their options positions indicate that gold will hit at least $1,600-2,000 by November 24, 2009.

Considering where gold's trading today, this represents more than a DOUBLING of gold's price over the next 6-9 months.

And since every "Gold Dollar" is backed by one gram of pure 24-karat gold, the value of your savings could double automatically!

Of course, it's impossible to know for sure which way the markets are headed. And if you don't think gold's going higher, than clearly "Gold Dollars" may not be right for you.

On the other hand, if you suspect that master investors such as Jim Rogers, Warren Buffett, George Soros, Dennis Gartman, Richard Russell and Schiff are right about gold - then moving some of your savings into "Gold Dollars" makes great sense.

You can get started with as little as $30 regular dollars. And just think about the tremendous advantages the "new money" will confer...

Wake Up Tomorrow and Pay Less for... Everything?

Let's say you have $100 in your savings account, in regular paper dollars.

You can convert that into $100 worth of "Gold Dollars" in about 5 minutes, using a secured online transaction from your current savings account. (Schiff shows you how to do this in Bull Moves in Bear Markets.)

Later that same day, you can spend half of your gold-backed money on a fine bottle of Blason d'Issan Margaux. You now have $50 "Gold Dollars" left. Here's the great part.

If gold doubles from there, you can exchange your 50 "Gold Dollars" for $100 paper dollars... and spend that money all over again!

And that's not all...

If gold simply rises by 25%, you could get up tomorrow and use "Gold Dollars" to pay that much less for gasoline, groceries, computers, TVs, houses, cars, clothes, you name it!

While your neighbor will spend $100 for a bag of groceries, you could pay the equivalent of $75 for the exact same bag!

So why haven't you heard about "Gold Dollars" before?

So Why Haven't You Heard about America's "New Money"?

For starters, since they're launching alongside much more popular "regular" paper dollars, very few outside of currency circles even know that Treasury has approved the new money.

Second, the mainstream media, Wall Street investment banks, and perhaps your own broker are simply focused on selling top stocks for 2010!

And even if they did know about this opportunity, they have no incentive to tell you about it - because they don't make any money when you switch to "Gold Dollars"!

That's a shame, too. Because just moving some cash into the new money now - ahead of the coming gold boom - could be the smartest "investment" you make all year!

No wonder Peter Schiff has made "Gold Dollars" the centerpiece of the gold-investment strategy he details in Bull Moves in Bear Markets.

Not Just "Gold Dollars" - A Golden Game Plan

But here's the thing...

Open your complimentary copy of Schiff's new blockbuster and you'll not only discover exactly how to own some "Gold Dollars" in about five minutes flat. You'll also get:

Schiff's three favorite gold funds and why they belong in any sensible investor's portfolio starting now... Page 121

The single smartest - and safest - way to leverage your gold gains by 200-300%. Schiff has identified a new way to explode your gold returns starting 18 days from now. It's not options, ETFs or top stocks to buy. It's not coins either. But it's so simple, even a 6th grader can execute this trade with one click of the mouse! Page 122

Australia's 100-Year-Old Gold Secret, REVEALED! After 100 years, Schiff is revealing Australia's best kept gold secret. It's the easiest way to own physical gold without storage costs, and at spot prices. And even if the U.S. govt. decides to confiscate gold like it did under President Roosevelt, your holdings will be safe (and backed by the Australian govt. and Lloyd's of London). Page 119

Schiff's Private Bullion Connections: If you're looking for the most direct way to invest, physical gold is it. The only problem: knowing who to trust when it comes to purity, delivery and storage. Schiff introduces you to his three most trusted bullion dealers, and shows you how to invest. Page 117

3 Coins Poised to Soar 200%... 300%... Even 800%: Besides "Gold Dollars," Schiff reveals three gold coins poised to soar by 200%... 300%... even 800% from the coming gold boom. There's the South African Kruggerand... the Canadian Maple Leaf... and a third coin you've likely never heard of before! Page 115

And the truth is, we still haven't scratched the surface of the ultra-timely investment ideas contained in Bull Moves in Bear Markets.

All told you'll get 263 pages brimming with Schiff's timely, clear strategies - and specific recommendations - for playing the remainder of the crisis (and yes, it's still going on, despite the rah-rah media).

See into the Future of the Economy... Bernanke's Next Move... the Paper Dollar... Oil... Wall Street... Emerging Markets... U.S. Top Stocks Market... And More!

You'll learn exactly where the U.S. economy is headed next... How Bernanke is about to send the paper dollar into freefall mode...

Why oil will soon be headed back toward $200 a barrel... How the inflation time bomb has already gone off, and why nobody knows it...

Why commodities are about to explode in price, and how to play it... Why the best dividend-paying stocks are based outside U.S. markets now... The way to play emerging markets for gains of 500%... 1,000% and beyond... And much, much more!

Here's why we're making this possible.

How to Take Advantage of this Opportunity Now

My name is Mike Ward. I am the publisher of America's leading global investment letter, The Money Map Report.

For years now we've been helping individuals make money in the markets.

Our research has been helping people decide what to do next - what to buy... when to buy... and how to book profits.

And the results have been amazing, hitting one big trend after another, well ahead of the crowd.

We've done it by researching the global trends and money flows... by avoiding the pitfalls and quicksand in the markets... and by recommending high-profit plays that readers can bank on...

So let me cut to the chase...

We want you to have Peter Schiff's new blockbuster Bull Moves in Bear Markets, just for accepting a trial subscription to The Money Map Report.

You'll discover how to make the shift to "Gold Dollars" before gold takes off.

But in the bargain, you'll also get Schiff's ultra-timely game plan for navigating the crisis in the safest, most profitable way possible. And you won't pay a dime.

That's how serious we are about getting this critical intelligence to you.

This could be the most important - and the most profitable - offer you'll see this year or even next.

Why We're Willing to Give Away Expensive Research

We've gone to great lengths to give you this high-level research because:

We believe every investor deserves to survive - and double their money - right now, during one of the most treacherous periods for all Americans...

We're on a mission... A mission to help wealth builders break through to a new level of gains that up until now have been impossible to achieve.

You see, The Money Map Report helps individuals make sense of this crazy world - and ensures that they don't get eaten alive by these insane markets.

We know how much risk every investor faces every single day. Uncertainty is everywhere, and the news media is only making matters worse.

We're here to set the record straight, and give you real information on the crisis, the coming recovery.

Every report brings you new ways to avoid the disastrous pitfalls... real ways to outsmart the market's head fakes... and real ways to know firsthand the exhilaration of making the biggest gains of your life...

And if you agree to try our research now - before gold takes off - we'll also rush you Peter Schiff's new book, Bull Moves in Bear Markets, as a token of our appreciation.

Considering how valuable our research has proven through the years, this could be the single smartest move you ever make when it comes to securing and growing your wealth...

Just consider what Investment Director Keith Fitz-Gerald and his team have already done...

Expect Gains of 389%... 203%... 857%... even 1,804%

Getting ahead of the trends is how you make money. (That should be exactly what is about to happen with "Gold Dollars" and the coming gold boom.)

Nothing - and I mean nothing - will give you bigger returns. And from now on, you could get in ahead of every big trend thanks to Keith Fitz-Gerald and his team. A few examples...

They were ahead of the ag-boom and readers saw gains of 389% on the hottest "fertilizer" play on the planet...

They were ahead of this recent China steel deal and booked a 100% pop in less than two months. They're now sitting on a gain of 203.7% - today!

They were ahead on the aluminum run up and readers had the chance to pocket 857%...

They picked the fastest growing insurance company in the world and closed out for an 1,804% gainer - months before the crash...

They booked 202% on the uranium run up... 213% on the Brazilian oil run up... and even 170% on the coal run up...

Fact is, in less than a year, Keith and The Money Map Press analysts have capitalized on trends in gold... the dollar... the Japanese yen... biotech advances... and even the rise in municipal bonds...

A Savvy Circle of Demanding, Satisfied Readers

One reader, M. Coble from Atlanta, Georgia perhaps put it best:

"I'd swear Keith's got some sort of crystal ball! He consistently delivers prescient commentary and profitable recommendations months before anyone even thinks to tackle the stuff..."

Or consider this from R. Randolph:

"Yours is the first newsletter I have profited consistently from. I really appreciate and value the global perspective."

Or this:

"I work for the competition and yours is the only newsletter I pay to receive with my own money!" (Name withheld by request - CA)

And just in case you have any doubts...

Make Money No Matter What the Markets Do

Keith was one of the very first analysts to call the meltdown - all the way back in December, 2007...

That's 12 months before the National Bureau of Economic Research declared on December 1, 2008 that there even was a recession!

Keith recommended that readers take a position in the Rydex Ursa Fund, an inverse fund that gave readers returns as the markets tanked.

What would the average investor pay today to have been able to make up market losses dollar for dollar?

Considering that Wall Street firms charged billions and strapped their clients to the S&P all the way down, you can imagine why our independent, powerful research doesn't come cheap.

Still, to show you I'm serious, I'm going to reveal some of our newest research to you right now, free of charge.

If you continue reading past this point, I would simply ask that you accept a risk-free trial subscription to our Money Map Report.

It Starts with the Four Biggest Trends of the Next 12 Months

Ready? Great!

Our research team has been analyzing money flows, crunching the numbers and running computer modeling scenarios for weeks on end. We've identified, without a doubt, four of the biggest trends coming in the next 12 months.

Get ahead of just one of these and you could make up for everything you've ever lost in the markets.

Here's what The Money Map Report editors are tracking right now...

#1: GOLD WILL BREAK OUT: Of course you're about to discover Peter Schiff's proprietary gold game plan, including "Gold Dollars." But in upcoming issues of The Money Map Report, you'll also discover the names of our favorite mining top stocks to buy. Gold miners are raising record amounts of cash ($40 billion in the last 6 months)... Yet no one else can even get a loan. We're confident our mining play is poised for gains of at least 213%. And the time to get in is now.

#2: TREASURY BUBBLE WILL BURST: Investors are about to lose their shirts on the growing bubble in U.S. Treasuries. Right now there's $6.8 trillion in outstanding bonds - and the current yield on the 10-year is a measly 2.94%. Millions of investors parked their money here for "safety" - yet they're getting eaten alive by inflation. And they're about to get burned even worse... Once interest rates move up even a tick, these bonds are going to go up like the Hindenburg. We predict 5% to 7% is a reasonable yield as inflation creeps in. Which means our "inverse" recommendation is likely to kick up 100% to 120%.

#3: URANIUM BULL WILL RESUME: Round two is ready to kick in on this incredible fuel. The facts say it all. 630 reactors are soon to be operating in 55 countries. Uranium is a scarce commodity. When prices advance to new highs - which they will - expect mining top stocks to rise in a virtual lock step. One in particular is poised to gain 271%.

#4: CHINA DEMAND WILL IGNITE A COAL BOOM: The demand for the "poor man's gold" is set to skyrocket 73% in the coming months and years. Don't listen to what you might hear on TV. China is utterly dependent on it. And the U.S. controls 27% of proven coal reserves. Let's face it: Coal is going to dominate electricity generation well into the foreseeable future. Expect U.S. exports of coal to accelerate in the 2nd half of this year when China's stimulus kicks in. One company is poised to jump 258%.

These four key trends are critical to follow in the coming months.

In fact, not only are we following them already, we're month ahead on all of them. And you'll get all of our up-to-the-second research - and perfectly timed recommendations for playing these trends - every single month with the Money Map Report.

But there's one more thing I'd like to send you, free.

Something Else I'd Like to Send You for Free

The Obama stimulus bill, officially called "The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009," is a whopper.

Its $787 billion price tag makes it the biggest spending bill ever passed by Congress. In fact, it's 10 times larger than the 1947 Marshall Plan to rebuild post-war Germany. Only this time, all of it will be spent here at home... including $120 billion for infrastructure... $11 billion for the smart grid... $45 billion for alternative energy... and $16 billion for transportation and security...

This kind of money has the potential to make a handful of American companies extremely profitable.

For example, one company owns the most powerful facial recognition software in the world. It just signed $494 million in contracts, one for $100 million with the U.S. State Department for transportation security. The company just boosted revenues by 367%, and it has an order backlog worth over $1 billion. And it's poised to soar.

You can details on this and four other Stimulus gems in our latest research report: Profiting from the $787 Billion Stimulus Boom. It's yours free, just for giving The Money Map Report a trial run.

Obama's Rose Garden Energy Deal of Top Stocks

Investing happens in real time.

When trading a best stock to buy, I'll take today's news over tomorrow's forecast every single time.

Because at the end of the day, stock prices are dictated by human emotion.

This is why the entire solar sector trades lower when one company reports bad earnings or vice versa. The fact that global use of solar will double (a 100% increase) by the end of 2011 is irrelevant when a related company misses earnings estimates by a penny.

That's just the way people are. So part of any successful investment strategy needs to account for the reaction of the masses to related news topics on a given day.

That's what Green Chip is here for. And that's why I highlighted the smart grid last week.

Promising a Rose Garden

I covered smart grid start-ups on Tuesday, in which I mentioned Itron Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI) as a pure play.

On Friday, the smart grid was the focus a Recovery Act Investment Update hosted by Obama himself in the Rose Garden. The event featured Itron president and CEO Malcom Unsworth and several employees from the company's U.S. smart grid manufacturing facilities.

That event, coupled with good earnings, was enough to make investors respond:


Itron Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI)

When companies get attention, investors buy.

And right now, the smart grid is getting plenty of attention — Rose Garden attention.

A $3.4 Billion Kick-off Party

Obama's recent Rose Garden party served to brag about, among other things, the $3.4 billion his Recovery Act committed to upgrade and development of the electricity grid

Itron was there because they manufacture smart grid and smart metering technology in two U.S.-based plants: one in South Carolina and one in Minnesota.

But here's the thing...

The smart grid isn't on one-trick pony. Itron, and few other players, may have cornered the smart meter market.

But with 60% of the electricity generated in this country lost to inefficiencies (yes, that figure is accurate), there are plenty of profitable gaps for young smart grid companies to fill.

And the $3.4 in political paper was a direct invitation to the party.

Enter Trilliant, a prime candidate for a 2010 smart grid initial public offering (IPO).

The company makes wireless devices that attach to existing meters and devices at each tier of the electricity distribution system, allowing for the real-time relay of information about substations, outages, and the energy usage patterns of neighborhoods and schools.

For the tech savvy out there, Trilliant's products are better than their competitors because they support multiple modes of data transfer, including static IP, dynamic IP, and circuit-switched.

What's more, the company is in bed with the big boys. Their products are compatible with a number of branded meters, including models from GE, Landis+Gyr, and Obama's darling, Itron.

Consumers can even get the data on their cell phones. Trilliant's feed is compatible with Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, Telus, Rogers, and a number of other wireless service providers.

And Trilliant is allowing things to be done in the electricity industry that have never been done before...

  • Real-time pricing based on usage profiles of homes and neighborhoods
  • Remote connect/disconnect
  • Voltage reporting
  • Automated power outage reporting

Further down the line, Trilliant's systems will be used to optimize energy efficiency, enable demand response, help integrate distributed sources like wind and solar, and help with the adoption of charge-at-home vehicles.

What we're about to witness is the networking of the grid — the Internet for energy.

This was the aim of the $3.4 billion: to bring smart grid solutions to the table.

A Seat at the Table

Given these new solutions, it's estimated that the world will have 250 million smart meters by 2015, representing a $3.9 billion market.

And everybody wants in — Cisco, GE, Siemens, and IBM are all pursuing smart grid solutions.

But those are already Blue Chips. The big money stands to be made by the up-and-comers... like Trilliant.

Thing is, you can't invest in Trilliant... yet.

Along with Silver Spring, which I profiled last week, Trilliant is a highly favored candidate for a 2010 IPO.

We'll pounce on smart grid IPOs as they happen.

For now though, we'll have to stick with publicly-traded companies for personal profits.

As I said earlier, the profits are where the publicity is. And right now, smart grid is all over the place.

Heck, the CEO of GE says it'll be "the biggest investment of the next 50 years."

So in addition to Itron, I've written a report on the three companies you can invest in to profit from this trend.

Until today's smart grid start-ups arrive on the scene, these companies are the best way to harness the easy profits smart grid will offer early investors.

How Old Fashioned Principles Can Still Make you Rich!

Let's face it, the last three years in America have been an incredibly difficult time period.  Many of the people you and I know are unemployed, have lost homes, or are in danger of losing their homes to foreclosure.

The government says the recession has ended, citing purely economic statistics.  You know, all that stuff about GDP expanding again.  But try telling that to your neighbor, or cousin, or your son, all of whom are out of work and about to have their lights shut off.

But we Americans have been through this before, and we've always survived.  In particular, I remember the nasty recession in the mid 1970's that destroyed my father's employment agency business. 

That was an era when you sat in the employment agency office and discussed your resume, career, and salary goals with an employment counselor.  There was no monster.com or linkedin.com, and you would be appalled to pay someone else to write your resume.

When a dearth of jobs closed my father's business, it forced me to leave college and work full time for several years, until I had saved enough funds to re-enroll.  It wasn't easy, but that was the American way.  You worked hard and persevered and eventually it paid off.

My Mother always taught her children the value of having a roof over your head, and how wonderful it was to finally pay off your mortgage. 

She never said, "maybe you shouldn't pay off your mortgage because you can get 8% a year in a growth mutual fund and you're only getting a 4% return when you pay off your mortgage."

She also didn't walk away from her mortgage during the recession of 1990 when her house lost 25% of its value.

So I grew up with some old fashioned values, from parents who had endured a long economic depression in their early years, and in many ways the lessons they imparted to me have stuck like top stocks for 2010

Today I am a real estate investor and, among other wonderful things, real estate has enabled me to pay off my own home mortgage early. 

I'll take the 3% hit I could be getting from a mutual fund if I still had that monthly debt, in exchange for all of the risk that I no longer have.  Sleeping like a baby at night is well worth any possible 3% to me.



Ethan has no mortgage worries...

So my heart is heavy when I read articles about an increase in the dropout rate from loan modification programs, and even more so when I read that "strategic defaults" are on the rise.

A "Strategic default" is when a borrower chooses to stop paying their mortgage, even if it means losing their home to foreclosure.  Instead, they may just pay other bills, such as car loans and credit cards.

These are not folks who are out of work or can't pay some kind of predatory sub prime loan.  No sir, these are people who are employed, but just don't want to pay anymore.  In most cases, it's due to their home having fallen in value to the point where they may have 25% NEGATIVE equity or more.

According to recent research, that 25% point seems to be the point at which despair takes over, and the borrower decides it's useless to pay on an asset which may take a decade or longer to come back.

The current estimate is that about 588,000 people strategically defaulted on their loan in 2008, a 128% increase from the previous year.  The 2009 numbers are not in yet, but are expected to be higher.

But what is worse is that, according to recent surveys, almost one out of every three homeowners today is willing to strategically default on their home!

Aside from the negative equity, the main reason for this is due to the increasing length of time that people can fail to pay their mortgage before the bank sends out the Lis Pendens (first notice of foreclosure). 

Swamped with ongoing loan modifications and homes already in foreclosure, the lenders are purposely taking longer and longer to go the foreclosure route.

And people know this, and are taking advantage of it.

Suppose you are three or four months behind on your loan, and unemployed, underemployed, or simply struggling to make ends meet.  Even if you wanted to pay your mortgage this month, the lender will demand payment in full and will not take a partial payment.

So those people usually succumb to foreclosure, short sale, or loan modification.

But the borrowers who are strategically defaulting are simply pocketing the money they would have paid on their mortgage, with a strategy to pay off other debts, and then eventually rent a home or apartment from someone else.

They also know that in three or four years, they may be able to improve their credit score, and buy another home that is much cheaper than the one they left.

But the question is whether or not the lenders, or the IRS, will go after them for the difference between the mortgage owed, and what the home brings in a foreclosure sale.  The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007 is very complicated and expires in 2012. 

Could these defaulters eventually owe $50,000 or $75,000 to the IRS?

Given the large numbers of people, and our permissive "bail out" mentality in America right now, that is unlikely.  It seems that, once again, those who behave irresponsibly will be rewarded, while those who stay the course will get nothing for their efforts except a boost to their self-esteem.


Incidentally, lest you think I am unduly harsh, let me ask you this: What do you think the repercussions of strategic defaults will be in the future?  Do you think that banks will just look the other way?

Of course not!

It is highly likely that lenders will begin to ask for larger down payments and/or raise interest rates to account for their higher risk for strategic defaults on their loans. 

That means that all of these walk-away borrowers are going to cost you and me, and the next generation, a lot more money to secure a mortgage.

But to build wealth, one must look at things from different perspectives.  When I think about the next decade or two, I see an America that could easily lose its middle class.  There will be rich and there will be poor, but perhaps not much in the middle. 

All of the borrowers who are now strategically defaulting will not be able to buy homes for several years.  Perhaps after their experiences, they will distrust the real estate market so much, they may never again buy a home.

That means they will either choose to, or be forced to rent.  If their numbers are large enough, this will elicit undue demand for rental homes, multi-family properties, and apartments.

The people who cater to that demand, will benefit and receive top dollar for doing so.  Those people are the wealth building landlords of the next decade or two.

People like myself....and hopefully you!

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the current 15 year mortgage rate, which stands today at 4.24%, is an unbelievable bargain.  Investor loans are typically .50% higher, so an investor with good credit and 20% down should be able to buy a home right now with a 4.75% interest rate.

Today, with prices of many foreclosures at mid 1990's levels, investors are able to take out 15 year loans and still have a rental cash flow of $250- $400 per month. 

Now listen carefully, for here is the best part... 

That means that even people who don't want to become active landlords can still buy rental properties, hire a property management company, pay them a fee (about 10% of each month's rent) to deal with the tenants, and STILL have a positive cash flow.

What?  You mean someone else gets all the headaches and I still get several hundred dollars a month of positive cash flow, combined with rapid principal pay down?



She gets the headaches...you get the money!

Hmmmm, that's more like it....tell me more!

Well, let's look ahead 15 years.  How old will you be then?  Ask yourself these questions:

Could a paid off rental property or two pay for my daughter's college tuition or wedding? 

Could a property paid off by tenants be sold to generate enough money for me to start my dream business? 

Could I use an extra $1,000 or $2,000 per month in retirement to travel or just live better?
 
Could I leave my grandchildren a starter home when I pass on, so they never have to rent again?

"But Ethan, I don't want those 9 PM phone calls about leaky pipes" -- No problem, they will go to the property manager.

"But Ethan, I don't have 20% to put down" -- You don't have $10,000?

"But Ethan, I don't even have $10,000" -- Well, do you have a sum of money in an IRA?  Did you know you can use your IRA to buy homes with top 10 stocks for 2011?

In my Master Real Estate Investor course, I detail the specifics of how to set this up for yourself.  The amazing irony is that in 2008, when I began writing the course, homes were more expensive than now and the interest rates were a lot higher.  It wasn't very easy to cash flow a 15 year mortgage then.  That opportunity is now here, but who knows for how long?

So I intend to make my parents proud.   Whether my real estate goes up, down, or sideways, I won't skirt my financial commitments, and instead, I intend to spend the next 15 years profiting off those who have recently done so. 

The America of 2010 may be a tougher place to make money than it was years ago, but there are still ways to make it happen for those with the imagination, perseverance, and fortitude that once made this country great.

How to Make Money NOW… While the Bulls Are Still Running

Wow, what an opening for 2010!

After two odd months of running on rails, the market finally busted up and out of its trading range. All and all, that's a pretty good start for the year… especially with the news that pending home sales fell some 16% back in November.

But let's not forget for a moment what is pushing the market upward: free money.

With lending rates hovering somewhere between little and naught, American companies have access to virtually free capital. Heck, in certain cases, the government even forced companies to take suitcases of free cash.

Yeah, yeah, I hear all about how the banks aren't lending to desperate homeowners or busted small-business operators and all that. And while I really wish they would do something about that, don't think for a moment that the big blue chips are getting the same treatment.

Back when I still had the chutzpah to be an entrepreneur, we used to have a joke about such things: "A guy who asks a bank for a buck is a pan handler. If he wants a grand, he's a robber. Ask for $10K, and you're a 'client.' But what do you call someone who owes a bank 10 million dollars? 'Sir!' as in 'What else can I do for you today, sir!'"

How Long Can This Cycle Last?

There is, of course, an inherent limit on how long we can run like this. The only thing holding back inflation right now is low wage demand stemming from high unemployment. And that situation will only last another few months as we run into the next election cycle.

I figure we've got somewhere between 12 and 24 months before this rising cycle dies the same death as the previous two. And even that prediction is based entirely on current evidence. This is, of course, a mid-term rising leg within a long-term falling market, and is therefore somewhat "accident prone," if you know what I mean.

The takeaway from all this? We need to remain really, really alert, and we need to make our money now, while the making is good.

Getting In on This Punished Big Pharma

The health sector was unduly punished by folks worried that somehow, these guys would get the short end of the stick in Washington's big health insurance overhaul. But now we can see that K-Street lobbyists still rule the roost, and in fact, many of these companies will come out looking better than ever.

Our WaveStrength Options Weekly members have already made some pretty decent gains on various health, bio and pharma top 10 stocks for 2011. And I think that we (and you too!) can continue this run in the first half of 2010. But where should we look?

Well, my candidate for your consideration could be perfect for more investment gains since it takes advantage of a longer-term trend for mere pennies on the dollar.

It's the Big Pharma leader Pfizer (PFE:NYSE).

Down and Out?

As you may or may not know, Pfizer earns $45 billion per quarter from major drugs such as Lipitor (for elevated cholesterol), Norvasc (for hypertension), Aricept (for Alzheimer's), Celebrex (for arthritis pain), Viagra (for erectile dysfunction), Detrol and Toviaz (for overactive bladder), and Genotropin (for growth disorders).

With a profit margin of 17.75% and quarterly earnings growth of 26.30%, PFE is one of the few companies that has been able to withstand the current recession. But Wall Street has completely written the company off.

Pfizer used to trade for, what, $50? Investors used to tolerate a P/E over $45! Heck, they used brag about it! But that was waaaaay back at the beginning of this miserable decade.

If we take a more localized look to January of 2008, you'd have paid $24 per share. By March of 2009, you could pick up PFE for less than half that!

Basically, over the last 52 weeks PFE has gained only 4.24%, which is far inferior to the S&P 500's change of 22.16% over the same time frame. But as odd as it may sound, this underperformance sets the stage for this investment strategy for you.

How to Make Money When Wall Street Isn't Looking

That may sound crazy to you. After all, why would you buy top stock in a company that's "down and out?"

Well, that description can't be further from the truth!

Like I said earlier, the geniuses on the Street have apparently written this Big Pharma off. And this could be the perfect time for you to bank some cash when the others are looking in the opposite direction.

You see, since the company's low point, trading behavior has normalized. And as I mentioned earlier, we have seen PFE post gains over the past year. In fact, for the past 10 months, shares have been grinding upward at a pretty steady pace of 6% or 7% a month. Current share price is around $19.50, with a P/E somewhere around 16.

And according to my WaveStrength Options Weekly (WOW) charts, PFE is now set to move from those current levels up to targets at $20.13… $22.92… and possibly even 26 bucks. A nice potential 33% gain for your portfolio!

Now on the surface, that might not appear to be a dramatic upside move that you're hoping for. But frankly, I'd take a 30%+ winner any day.

Ready to Take the Next Step… To Bigger Profits?

But if that 33% potential winner isn't enough for you… If you're interested in bigger and faster gains, then all you have to do is look at the current price premiums of the PFE options. After years of punishment, PFE's option string is discounted (just like the company's share price). So there is ample opportunity to pull down the sort of short to mid-term gains we need to see before this market turns tail on us.

That's what I just recommended to my WOW readers: Calls on Pfizer. Calls that are a remarkably cheap deal… And option calls that could deliver a whopping 306% gain.

And like I mentioned, when you consider the super-cheap carry cost of these calls, it won't take much to achieve such a powerful return.

Recommendation: Whether you go the way of buying shares or the more lucrative option calls, consider Pfizer (PFZ:NYSE) for your portfolio.

And if you'd like to learn more about investing – and profiting – with options, you should check out my service, WaveStrength Options Weekly (WOW). With an options service like WOW, you can make big gains, fast. I'm talking about gains that absolutely crush ordinary stock investing, CDs, IRAs and just about anything else you can think of. Big-time triple-digit winners like 175%, 307%, 387%, 190%, 251%, 360%, 493%... even 500%.

Zombie Money and the Abolition of Cash

Damn you, World Bank.

The World Bank now says the global economy will contract by 2.9% this year instead of 1.7%. That could be right. But that's not the reason for 2010 top stocks are falling. The rally that began in March has now run out of steam. It's also run out of news events to send it higher. So what now?

Well, the primary trend — and by that we mean what we think the dominant trend is for the next few years — is the systematic reduction of debt in the household and business sectors. That ought to lead to write downs in asset prices and a general contraction in credit. Perhaps that is why — despite the mondo auction of $104 billion in new debt — even U.S. government bonds followed stocks and commodities down.

Let's take a quick look at what the Federal Open Market Committee said yesterday in regard to U.S. interest rates. We'd planned to watch for language that tipped the Fed's intentions regarding the bond market. It all begins with the bond vigilantes these days. So what did the Fed say?

It made clear low rates-at least the Fed's target rate-are here to stay. "The Committee will maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 0 to 1/4 percent and continues to anticipate that economic conditions are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate for an extended period."

Whether the Fed can talk down or manipulate long-term rates into staying dormant is another matter. But it had more to say on the subject. "As previously announced, to provide support to mortgage lending and housing markets and to improve overall conditions in private credit markets, the Federal Reserve will purchase a total of up to $1.25 trillion of agency mortgage-backed securities and up to $200 billion of agency debt by the end of the year."

The important part here is "as previously announced." This sounds a bit like, "I really mean it. I'll do it. I'm dead serious. Don't make me buy those mortgage bonds. I'll do it if I have to. Don't push me."

In other words, the Fed is merely repeating what it said it would do earlier. It did not announce a new policy or its intention to expand quantitative easing to keep bond yields down. We imagine it would not want to advertise its willingness to keep buying bonds. That might induce a lot of selling and have the perverse effect of pushing U.S. yields up and investors into other assets.

But just for good measure the Fed repeated itself one more time. "In addition, the Federal Reserve will buy up to $300 billion of Treasury securities by autumn. The Committee will continue to evaluate the timing and overall amounts of its purchases of securities in light of the evolving economic outlook and conditions in financial markets. The Federal Reserve is monitoring the size and composition of its balance sheet and will make adjustments to its credit and liquidity programs as warranted."

So it's a waiting game now. The Fed hopes the economy recovers this year and that it can withdraw its massive liquidity measures before they leak through into the economy to cause inflation. So far, its credit facilities have not translated into an expansion in the money supply. That's what the bond market fears (which is also why ten-year Treasury yields were up on the day).

We reckon investors and insiders will wait to wade back into the top stocks for 2011 until this correction (if that's what it is) runs its course. After all, the insiders have not been buying the rally. They've been selling into it.

According to research service TrimTabs insiders of S&P 500 listed companies have unloaded $2.6bn in shares in June, compared with $120m in purchases. "The smartest players in the US stock market — the top insiders who run public companies — are not betting their own money on an economic recovery," says TrimTabs CEO Charles Biderman.

So the American insiders are bearish. They've been net sellers for fourteen straight weeks, according to Ben Silverman at InsiderScore. If the inside money is getting out, we reckon shares are going to do some bottom searching over the next few weeks. The World Bank announcement, then, merely confirmed what the action in the market has been telling us for the last few weeks.

Insider selling is a particularly charged bit of investment intelligence. But in our experience it is a piece of information that confirms what is already apparent through an analysis of other technical and fundamental variables. It doesn't necessarily tell you anything you can't figure out by other means.

It's true that the insiders may be selling because they have access to information not known by the general public (although trading on this information would, of course, not be legal...but there you go). And insider sales — at least on large top stocks to buy with lots of liquidity — are easier to conceal in the general course of trading. But the money flow and volume still tell the tale, especially with smaller stocks.

If you step away from the technical guts of the market for a moment, the larger question is whether this last financial year will trigger any shifts in the investment habits or psyche of the Australian public. Judging by the number of people who stayed in balanced or growth funds over the last year, the Australian public is brain dead (zombies!). But then, let's be fair. Maybe they ARE keeping their eye on the bigger picture. They just see the picture slightly differently than other living, thinking people.

The bigger picture can be seen below, courtesy of Super Ratings, in the value of a balanced Aussie super fund versus cash since 2003. Cash is slow and plodding and lazy and conservative. Very turtelish. The balances super funds, on the other hands, had three ripper years up to 2007, and two disastrous ones since. Even after an epic charge in commodities, balances super has barely beaten cash. Hmmn.

The Tortoise Cash and the Balanced Hare 
 

You can see that after reaching parity earlier this year (at the markets slow) balanced funds have since rebounded. But you have to wonder how balanced they really are. Balance — according to our Super expert Kris Sayce — is supposed to be a kind of middle ground between aggressive growth and conservative cash. It also sounds sensible. Who is against balance? It's prudent, right?

But if we read the latest report right from Super Ratings, the median balanced fund has 60%-76% of its investment portfolio allocated to growth assets, the riskiest type! That sounds distinctly unbalanced. It sounds, in fact, really stupid, considering this is a bear market in stocks.

Balanced zombie minds will point out that on rolling five, seven, and ten-year periods, balanced funds are all still up (4.75%, 4.99%, and 5.07%, respectively). But we would humbly suggest that there's never been a better time to question the basic assumptions about investing in balanced funds — or any funds for that matter.

That is, a passive approach that assumes markets always go up and time is on your side is probably going to get you slaughtered in the coming years. If inflation doesn't kill you, a few bad years could. And if your rolling period coincides with some of the frequent 17-year periods in which stock markets do not go up at all-well then the whole idea of using the top stock market of 2011 as a retirement machine is as dead as a zombie.

Obama Pushes Best Stocks Investment Development

It may not be as shiny as solar or as obvious as wind, but no matter how you slice it - geothermal energy is a powerhouse when it comes to renewable energy generation.

As we highlighted in our book, Investing in Renewable Energy: Making Money on Green Chip Stocks...geothermal actually holds significant advantages over other forms of renewable and fossil fuel-based energy.

It's one of the cheapest forms of energy
It produces almost 50 times less CO2, nitric oxide, and sulfur emissions than conventional fossil fuel power plants
It requires no power storage
It's perfect for baseload power (power that's generated all the time). Geothermal power plants run at 89 to 97 percent uptime, compared to 75 to 90 percent uptime offered from coal and nuclear
The supply of geothermal energy is virtually inexhaustible.

And as my colleague Nick Hodge pointed out in April, geothermal energy capacity is actually expected to grow 89% between now and 2015 - from 11,007 megawatts at the end of 2008 to over 20,800 megawatts in the next 6 years.

That works out to a compounded annual growth rate of 9.5%.

Take a look...

Obama Loves Geothermal

To add more fuel to this geothermal fire, it has become quite obvious that the Obama administration is aggressively pursuing increased geothermal development.

For starters, the recent stimulus set aside $400 million for geothermal. Congress also coughed up $45 million for the DOE's geothermal program, and in March, the DOE announced $84 million worth of funding for enhanced geothermal systems.

And just last week, the President announced another $350 million in Recovery Act funding for geothermal projects!

Here's the breakdown on that one...

  • $140 million for geothermal demonstration projects

  • $80 million for enhanced geothermal systems technology research and development

  • $100 million for innovative exploration techniques

  • $30 million for a national geothermal data system, resource assessment, and classification system.

According to Karl Gawell, executive director of the Geothermal Energy Association, this is more funding now than in the past 20 years.

One company that's certainly going to benefit from all of this is Ormat Technologies (NYSE:ORA).

Now we've been preaching this best stock investments for 2011 years. In fact, we first recommended Ormat in January, 2005, when it was trading around $16 a share. And we've been following it ever since.

Our most recent assessment came in our March 3, 2009 letter. Take a look...

"Ormat Technologies is one of the biggest geothermal players in the market. Vertically-integrated, the company designs, owns and operates a number of geothermal power plants and recovered energy systems across the globe.

Ormat recently announced revenues increased 35.2% in Q4 and 16.5% for fiscal 2008. Net income also increased 31.3% for the quarter and 82% for the year. The stock currently trades around $23 a share. Our 12-month price target is $41."

Today, Ormat trades around $41 a share.

Here's how the stock has performed since the start of the year...

And Ormat isn't the only geothermal stock paying off for Green Chip investors either.

A few weeks ago I told you about a little $0.85 geothermal best stock that was significantly undervalued.

That stock is now trading at over $1.70 a share!

Take a look...

htm

But we're expecting much more. And here's why...

Turns out, the DOE is now expected to pony up $84 million for this company to build its next power plant. Certainly that has helped push the best stock up, but there's another piece of news that's right around the corner - and it'll push this thing up even higher.

You see, now that the company can build its next power plant - on the DOE's dime - the only major hurdle for the company is securing a power purchase agreement.

Now if you know anything about the energy business, you know that a long-term power purchase agreement is what seals the deal for investors. It's the final piece of the puzzle that guarantees decades-long revenue streams.

And it's what every trend-chaser on Wall Street waits for.

Just look what happened the last time this company announced a power purchase agreement, back in 2007...

htm2

Now here's the important part...

What a lot of folks don't know is that this company is in advanced negotiations for a long-term power purchase agreement - right now.

Once that agreement is signed, and the press release goes out - the best stock invesetments is going to explode. Just like it did the last time.

Cash in on the President’s Big Mistake

When Barack Obama became the most powerful man in the world just five short months ago, he knew he would have plenty of important people to thank.

After all, no one is elected president alone. It takes power to make power — Obama knows this. He enlisted the help of influential party leaders, strategists and sponsors to help grab the presidency. Now it's time to repay the political favors.

Best Stock Investments 2011

Enter Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The Nevada Democrat recently announced a small victory for himself and his constituents. It seems that the good senator managed to convince President Obama to remove funds for a small scrap of desert in southern Nevada from the 2010 federal budget.

It may not seem like much, but this parcel of land — a little more than an hour's drive from Las Vegas — has been the center of attention for Nevada lawmakers and residents for some time. And the attention isn't because of gold, oil or any other valuable commodity…

The Mountain That Could Have Solved Our Energy Problems

The section of Nevada desert in question is the location of Yucca Mountain. More specifically, we're talking about the site of the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository.

Yucca Mountain is on federal land — right next door to the fabled Nevada test site where nuclear weapons were detonated above and below ground during the Cold War. For the past several decades, federal money has been allocated to develop Yucca Mountain as the nation's main safe keeper of radioactive waste generated by nuclear power facilities. To date, the government has spent more than $9 billion studying and developing the site.

Now it looks as if plans for a national site for reactor waste storage have been derailed. It all comes down to Reid's "favor" from the new commander in chief…

The Senate leader has been fighting the Yucca site for years. And now that Reid is in a position with considerable influence, it is doubtful the Yucca Mountain project will move forward for many years to come — if ever. Anti-nuclear activists and Nevada residents have mounted a ferocious battle against any nuclear waste storage in the area.

So what does this mean for nuclear power plants?

Best Stocks Investments for 2011

Without a national storage site available—and no plans on moving forward with a new site in the foreseeable future—nuclear power plants will have to continue to safely contain spent radioactive waste in their own storage facilities.

The Cards Are Dealt in Nuclear Power's Favor

Contrary to what we see happening with the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository, nuclear power remains one of our most promising energy sources of this century.

First, nuclear is a carbon-neutral power source. Environmental Protection Agency rule changes are causing problems for coal-fired power plants as we type. Carbon caps stand to force the dirtiest plants to pay big money to upgrade or close down operations entirely. Meanwhile, nuclear power's only immediate byproduct is steam. According to the EPA, two-thirds of the power in the country is generated by fossil fuels like coal and natural gas. We as a nation could easily cut back on these carbon-producing sources with more nuclear plants. The only environmental concern is the radioactive waste…

Then there's the fact that nuclear power is a proven, effective large-scale source of electricity. Yes, efforts are being made in the alternative energy field. But even with aggressive expansion, alternatives like solar will lag far behind traditional forms of power generation. Wind power, for example, is expected increase only 5% in the next decade…

On the other hand, nuclear power technology is proven and ready for expansion. In fact, it may be the only way we can meet our growing electricity demand issues…

Guaranteeing The Best Stock Investment Opportunity

If you're one of Ian Cooper's readers, you could very easily be sitting on a boatload of new gains... as most others watch their losses pile up.

It's no secret Ian's been targeting financials and insurance companies, among others. And the profits he's helping his readers collect as a result... is simply astounding.

But his newest play is even bigger. Some would even call it unthinkable.

It takes full advantage of the banking and financial fears draining the markets right now.

We're calling it the "Armageddon Trade."

And we're looking at double- to triple-digit short-term gains... on both sides of this historic event.

Most investors, of course, are completely overlooking the opportunity to profit from this event.

But then again, Ian's readers aren't your normal investors.

Just wealthy ones.

Everything you need to know is in the new report he's compiled below.

All you have to do is read it, follow Ian's simple instructions, then sit back and watch...

When it comes to legendary American investors, Julian Robertson might be the least known.

But he's a titan.

Founder of the investment firm Tiger Management, Julian turned $8 million in start-up capital in 1980 into $22 billion by the late 1990s.

His current net worth? It's estimated at $1.8 billion.

And last week on CNBC, Julian revealed what he considers to be the single best moneymaking trade for the next few years... a trade that could easily return 927%.

He called it the "Armageddon trade," because this investment will soar in value as the U.S. economy falls deeper into the recession.

It's all based on the huge bubble forming in government debt. In fact, President Obama practically guarantees it... stating on January 6 that Americans should expect massive deficits for "years to come."

He goes on to say…

"We're already looking at [this year] a trillion-dollar budget deficit or close to a trillion-dollar budget deficit. Potentially we've got trillion-dollar deficits for years to come, even with the economic recovery that we are working on at this point."

Make no mistake - this is a bubble, infinitely bigger than the credit and housing bubbles before it. And it's already popping. When it bursts, it's going to burst wide open.

But if you get into Ian's trade today, you will make a killing.

How much?

Comparing the Bubbles

There's no denying it.

The U.S. Treasury bubble is on the verge of bursting at any minute.

When it does - I'm sorry to say - millions of investors who thought their money was safe are going to suffer.

But at the same time, one group of investors - led by Ian Cooper, will not only avoid this catastrophe... they'll be raking in triple-digit profits along the way.

And as the Treasury bubble explodes, Ian and his small but wildly successful group of investors will be getting rich... by effectively shorting the U.S. Government... taking lightning-fast profits on the order of 86%... 138%... 140%... and 220%.

Here's how it's going down:

As you know, Ben Bernanke, Henry Paulson and the boys at the Fed and Treasury are flooding the financial system with cash. They're slashing interest rates... and they're bailing out seemingly every big corporation that raises a hand.

It's almost as if Bernanke and Paulson are openly begging for inflation.

Take a look at another chart - this time showing what has happened to the U.S. Money Supply over the last two years...

The chart makes one fact very clear: The value of the U.S. dollar is about to take a very serious beating.

But hold on - we're just getting started.

This U.S. money supply chart includes only the very beginning of the more than $7.2 trillion worth of federal bailout money our government has committed to.

And it includes none of the proposed $775 billion stimulus package being pushed by President Barack Obama.

The simple fact is: The U.S. Government - at this very moment - is teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. And with each new federal bailout, we move one step closer to the potential downgrading of the U.S. credit rating!

And when that happens, you need to make absolutely certain that you have your investments properly protected. And at the same time, you want to make sure you're acting on Ian Cooper's laser-sharp trading recommendations... trades that have already brought his readers 2-month gains of 927% - in the face of a historic bear market!

On January 4, Ian Cooper released the first set of instructions to his readers outlining how they could profit from this enormous bubble in the Treasury.

And there's still time - if you act right now - for you to take advantage of Ian's advice.

This is an opportunity that Ian has been watching like a hawk for months. And he has told me privately that the opportunity exists for double- or triple-digit short-term gains... on both sides of this event.

In just a moment, I'll tell you how you can receive immediate access to Ian's most recent bulletin on this U.S. Treasury Bubble opportunity... and I'll also tell you how you can get Ian's advice with no risk whatsoever.

But listen - don't just take my word for it...

The U.S. Treasury Bubble Is Not Only Real... It's on the Verge of Collapsing at Any Time!

In the past few months, investors have raced away from top stocks for 2010, corporate bonds and commodities... and while scrambling for safety they've created an enormous bubble in U.S. Treasuries.

So much so, they drove the 3-month Treasury bill rate to negative territory for the first time since 1929, creating an over-inflated bubble set for failure.

And for once, it seems, the major media outlets seem to agree...

On December 15, the Wall Street Journal proclaimed: "In the wake of popped best stock to buy, housing and commodity bubbles, some see a fourth bubble building - in Treasury bonds."
On December 12, a Dallas Morning News headline confirmed that "Treasury bonds have reached bubble stage."
On December 26, no less an authority than Bill Gross - a man the New York Times calls The Nation's Most Prominent Bond Investor - said that, "Treasuries have some bubble characteristics, certainly the Treasury bill does."

To be sure, here's how crazy the activity's been in the Treasury market:

On the very same day - December 9, 2008 - in which the rates on 3-month Treasury bills turned negative for the first time... the U.S. still sold $30 billion worth of 4-week T-bills at a zero percent rate.

Listen - you and I both know... that money is not going to stay parked in U.S. Treasuries forever.

At some point - most likely within the next few weeks - that money will begin pulling out of Treasuries... and back into equities.

And when that begins to happen...


 

POP!

Amazingly... millions of U.S. investors either don't see the coming danger - or they simply choose to ignore it.

But when this bubble bursts - and it's only a matter of time until it does - those very same investors who thought they were investing in a safe, secure investment vehicle are going to be wiped out.

So here's what's most important to you right now:

It's absolutely critical that you prepare yourself today for the imminent explosion of the U.S. Treasury Bubble.

Even better - there's one simple step you can take right now to put Ian Cooper's simple method for cashing in on the Treasury Bubble to work for you... and begin taking average short-term profits of 90% or more along the way.

How to Protect Yourself - and Profit - To the Tune of 90% Gains... as America's Next Great Bubble Explodes!

Now I understand - the idea of collecting short-term gains of 138%, 140% or 220% in this economy sounds, well... outrageous.

But it's not.

Investment guru Ian Cooper has been absolutely crushing the markets over the past six months - helping his readers turn the tides on the financial crisis.

And now, on the eve of the next - and potentially largest - U.S. financial bubble explosion...

Ian Cooper has just begun to release a series of URGENT short-term trade recommendations... trades that Ian insists have even greater profit potential than the triple-digit winners they've been taking to the bank over the past 6 months. Winners like...

3-day profits of 57% on an easy-to-execute energy trade...

138% gains - in just over 2 weeks - while the NASDAQ was tanking this past November...

156% gains in just 11 days as an emerging markets ETF plummeted...

140% gains in just 23 days on a natural gas play...

And 220% gains - in less than 2 weeks - while shorting the financial sector.

But those gains are just a small sample...

"Bought 3 contracts on the XXXX puts at 3.80, and exited at 15.70 - a 313% gainer. Not bad for an
18-day holding period." - GS

"Sold half at $9.20 for a 114% gain in 1 day on XXX." - NM

"I held on to your XXX trade for a 500%+ gain. Nice!" - EO

I'll tell you how you can receive Ian's latest Treasury Bubble trade recommendation below. But as I mentioned above, that's only the first half of our profit play. So allow me to tell you how the bursting of the U.S. Treasury Bubble will provide...

A Second Wave of U.S. Treasury Bubble Profits,Beginning in April 2009

How Ian Cooper's Readers Will Strike it Rich From This Bubble- Not Once... But TWICE!

Here's the beauty of the enormous bubble in U.S. Treasuries.

It means not one - but TWO - blockbuster profit opportunities for Ian Cooper and his readers.

Here's what I mean:

The enormous bubble in U.S. Treasuries is on the verge of bursting at any moment. And the very minute it does... Ian Cooper and his readers will begin collecting double- and triple-digit profits thanks to the first set of trade instructions Ian's just released.

The explosion of this next great bubble is inevitable:

As investors will begin selling their treasury holdings on news of a rebounding economy... they'll quickly pull their money out of treasuries and re-enter the stock market...

And once that happens, the recommendations Ian issued to his readers will begin skyrocketing!

 

Ian has alerted me that this explosion could produce returns even greater than the 927% he racked up in just 2 months as the financial and insurance companies began crumbling last fall.

But there's still time for you to act - and profit from what's only the first phase of this 2-part profit opportunity.

The second phase? It's simple: The party in US top stocks to buy won't last long.

Because even though investors will burst the Treasury Bubble and race into top stocks for 2010... they'll soon be sent reeling by the next, massive wave of the mortgage crisis.

Beginning in April, as roughly $500 billion worth of Option ARM loans begin resetting... we'll see a staggering rate of defaults.

It won't be pretty. Millions of U.S. homeowners will face foreclosure... and the potential damage could add up to another $1.5 trillion before all is said and done.

For investors, it means another steep decline in the Dow - potentially as low as 6,000 - and another race to the sidelines in search of safety.

And investors will look to Treasuries once again. When they do, Ian will be waiting for them, having kicked in part 2 of his two-pronged strategy for playing the 2009 U.S. Treasury bubble.

It's an opportunity to make triple-digit gains--on both sides of the bubble!

But you'll need to hurry - there isn't much time left before Phase 1 will have already passed us by.

Right now - as I write this letter - the clock is ticking down to another "trigger" that will set up the second phase of Ian Cooper's U.S. Treasury Bubble play... beginning in April 2009.

So why is April - just a few months away - so important?

That's when we'll witness the beginning of a nosedive that will send the DOW to 6,500... 6,000... or lower!

Just like the U.S. Treasury Bubble itself... the event that will begin in April 2009 is one that everyone should be able to see coming a mile away.

Now... by the time April rolls around, the U.S. Treasury Bubble will have already burst, as investors begin moving their money out of treasuries back into the equity markets.

Because of Ian's short-term focus, the double- and triple-digit gains from the bursting of the U.S. Treasury Bubble will already be in the bank by that time... and Ian will then position his readers for the second wave of this once-in-a-lifetime profit opportunity.

"The Next Real Estate Crisis"

"By April 2009, hundreds of thousands of option ARM mortgages will begin resetting, bringing on a fresh wave of foreclosures."

- Business Week, June 5, 2008

Here's what will happen:

Beginning in April 2009, hundreds of thousands of U.S. homeowners who took out "option adjustable-rate mortgages" (ARMs) will start to see their monthly payments skyrocket as those interest rates begin to reset.

You see - at this very moment, there are roughly $500 billion worth of option ARM loans outstanding in the U.S. These loans were especially popular during the height of the real estate boom, as they allowed buyers to enjoy low initial payments that would then "adjust" after several years.

But, hey, at the height of the real estate bubble, everyone assumed that home values would continue climbing, so there was nothing to worry about, right?

Wrong.

The real estate boom hit its peak in April 2004... and the majority of option ARM loans are due to begin resetting after five years. In other words... in April 2009.

In December 2008, investment fund manager Whitney Tilson told the 60 Minutes television program that he expected as many as 70% of these loans to default.

He also predicted that over the next four years, more than 8 million Americans will lose their homes to foreclosure.

And he estimated that the total damage from the collapse of the sub-prime lending market is already approaching $1 trillion... but the coming collapse of the Option ARMs and Alt-A loans (which were made to borrowers with low credit scores) could mean another $1.5 trillion in damage.

Let me put that another way...

We're already $1 trillion in the hole... and we're still not even halfway through this disaster

And it all begins to unravel in April 2009 - just a few weeks from now - when those Option ARM loans begin resetting.

Because here's what will happen:

* As we've seen consistently over the last year... the U.S. Government will step in and attempt to "bail out" the U.S. homeowner and prevent the onslaught of massive foreclosures...

* In order to do this, the government will be forced to throw even more money into the system... in what could end up being the most costly bailout to date...

* Once this begins, the hot stock market will take a nosedive - with the Dow heading to 6,000 or lower...

* Finally - and most incredibly - this latest huge increase in the U.S. money supply will put the United States in danger of having its own credit rating slashed!

"Here's how I did with your last two trades: AXPMQ, bought 11/12 for $2.50, sold 11/13 for $4.20 for a 68% one day gain. XJZMM, bought 11/11 for $1.56, sold 11/13 for $2.43 for a 56% gain in two days… Take care, Ryan..."

In fact, Moody's warned in January 2008 that "the U.S. is at risk of losing its top-notch triple-A credit rating."

And in August, The Kiplinger Letter reported, "The idea of the U.S. losing its AAA debt rating isn't far-fetched anymore. Standard & Poor's credit rating agency says the U.S. is taking on a huge risk."

A downgrade of the U.S. credit rating would spell immediate financial disaster - instantly crippling the new administration's ability to revive the economy...

And not to mention - the overall financial chaos created will help send investors fleeing from hot stocks to buy once again and back into "safe havens" such as U.S. Treasuries.

So here's everything you need to know...

The Simple Steps You Can Take - Right Now - to Protect Yourself

Crisis? Try an Avg Gain of 58%!

One day, historians will refer to it as The Great Financial Crisis of 2008.

But even as we enter 2009, Ian Cooper and his Options Trading Pit readers are still cashing in on this crisis... making a mint... playing both long and short sides of the market.

It's the surest way to profit amidst the chaos.

And it's already paid off in a big, big way. In fact, over the past few months, readers have closed 39 wins out of 49 trades... enjoying average gains of 58%, even as the major indices whipsawed hundreds of points... including:

Lehman Brothers January 2009 10 put: 95% in a day

Lehman Brothers January 2009 10 put: 49% in a day

CurrencyShares British Pound 177 put: 26% in six days

Lehman Bros. Jan. 2009 10 put: 208% and 135% in four days

Morgan Stanley January 2009 25 put: 71% and 10% in two days

AIG January 2009 5 call: 125% and 100% in 12 days

iShares Emerging Markets 32 put: 71% and 157% in six days

Rest assured, Options Trading Pit will always play both sides of the market. It's the only way to win big. Whether it's another big corporation about to go down, or one on the verge of a breakout, Ian Cooper will find them. And you'll profit.

Simply follow Ian's lead and he'll show you exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to come out on top.

Within the past few days, Ian Cooper has written to me - and to his readers - spelling out precisely how he sees this nightmare financial scenario unfolding.

Simply put: the short-term future of the U.S. economy is dire.

But at the same time... Ian has also completed his due diligence on a method of profiting from the events that are about to unfold...

And he thinks the potential exists for even greater gains than the average 90% winners he's raked in over the past seven months.

By using one easy - yet powerful - "tool"... you can cash in as the U.S. Treasury Bubble explodes... and the U.S. Government continues its inevitable march toward bankruptcy.

This new method for profiting at the expense of the government's folly is remarkably simple to take advantage of - in fact, it can be executed with just a few clicks of the mouse or a simple phone call.

And I'm writing you today to tell you how you can get started right away.

In just a moment, I'll tell you how you can join Ian Cooper's amazingly successful group of investors - and begin raking in some extraordinary gains.

You see, even though the U.S. Treasury Bubble hasn't yet burst... Ian and his readers have already started banking plenty of double- and triple-digit short-term winners by cashing in on the demise of some of Wall Street's greediest companies.

In fact, over the past few weeks, Ian Cooper has been on fire - racking up triple-digit gains in just a matter of days with trade after trade...

That's why I love trading options...

And that's the beauty of Ian Cooper's Options Trading Pit.

Ian helps his readers play both sides of the market... and make an absolute mint in the process.

Would You Like to Double Your Money Twelve Times in Just Five Months?

Six Easy Trades... 927% Profits – in Just Two Months! #1 - On September 8, 2008 Ian Cooper saw the danger that still existed for Lehman Brothers and recommended buying put options on LEH. Just three days later, Ian cashed out half of his position with a 95.3% profit... and four days after that he cashed out the rest for gains of 207.8%!

#2 – On September 9, Ian recommended even more put options on LEH. Two days later, Ian cashed out half of this position with a 48.85% gain... and four days after that he cashed out the rest for gains of 134.5%! That means an initial investment of $10,000 – spread out evenly among Ian's two LEH put option recommendations – would have turned into $22,161 in just seven days... a total gain of 121.6%!

#3 – On September 16, Ian told subscribers: "Morgan Stanley could easily be one of the next to fall" - and he recommended buying put options on MS. The very next day, Ian told readers to cash out half of their position for 70.97% gains... and one day later he cashed out the remainder for an additional 12.9%. That's a 41.9% gain in just two days as Morgan Stanley got crushed!

#4 - On September 17, Ian correctly forecast a bailout of global insurance firm AIG and recommended call options on AIG. Just 15 days later, Ian recommended his subscribers exit half of the position and pocket their 125% gains... and four days after that, Ian cashed out the remainder for another 100%.

#5 – On November 11, Ian wrote to Options Trading Pit subscribers that "more (banks) will fall and fall hard" and recommended buying put options on the Financial Select Sector ETF (XLF). Just two days later, Ian wrote his subscribers again and instructed them to pocket their two-day profits of 62.16%.

#6 – On November 12, Ian recommended put options on American Express (AXP). The very next day, Ian advised readers to exit half their position... and putting their one-day gains of 70% in their pocket!

That adds up to cumulative gains of 927.48% – in just 66 days. And it happened during a stretch when the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted a whopping 31.8% – down from 11,600 all the way under 8,000 at one point!

Twelve different times over the last five months.

That's how many times Ian Cooper and his Options Trading Pit subscribers have doubled their money.

You read that correctly - in the face of one of the most frightening economic collapses this nation has ever seen... Ian Cooper and his followers have doubled their money a dozen times in the last five months.

In fact, here's what one member shared on a trade that just closed, in under 2 days:

"Ian - Great call on XXX my friend. My position in your recommendation has doubled overnight. In at $2.10, and the Jan 15 XXX calls now trade at $4.20. Well done, sir. I have a standing sell order for 2/3 of my position at 5 unless I hear from you earlier." - Todd S.

And since the launch of Ian's breakthrough trading service, he has delivered winners in 39 of 49 trades - a batting average of .58!

Even better - the average gain of those 39 winning trades is an eye-popping 90%!

But those gains - impressive as they are - are really just the tip of the iceberg.

Here's why: Ian Cooper has spent the better part of the past decade perfecting the art of trading options for triple-digit gains.

Over that time, he's shown thousands of investors exactly how to exploit carefully targeted market sectors for lightning-fast short-term gains... gains that prove to be several times larger than simply buying hot stocks alone.

It's his phenomenal track record of triple-digit, short-term winners that put Ian in such high demand from mainstream outlets such as Investor's Business Daily and Forbes... and on investment shows such as Money Matters with Barry Armstrong and On the Money with Mike Stein.

Truth is, people who follow Ian Cooper's advice make an immediate killing almost every time he alerts them!

And while millions of Americans have been in an absolute panic over our current financial crisis... Ian and his readers have been consistently raking in some amazing gains.

In fact, since May 28, 2008 he's led his own tight-knit group of investors to gains of 2,740% - and he's done it in a market that has been absolutely turned upside down.

"You have made me a ton of money over the last 5 years than any one else has. Following your every word, including stop losses, you've helped me turn $10,000.00 into more than $450,000." - B.A.

You see... the volatility we've seen in the markets over the past twelve months is actually perfect for options traders like Ian. It "turbocharges" the profit opportunities and delivers winners much faster than in the "old days" of two years ago or more.

The beauty of it all is that Ian's readers are just everyday Americans like you and me who have refused to become victims of the U.S. financial crisis... and have decided to take their investment future into their own hands.

People like Neil M., who recently used one of Ian Cooper's recommendations to collect $4,195 after a single trading day...

Or Bruce H., who collected an extra $5,000 inside 13 days by following Ian's advice...

Or Brian A., who, after months of following Ian's recommendations, turned an initial $10,000 into an astonishing $450,000!

Not a Single Recommendation Is Released Unless It Has the Potential for Short-Term Gains of 100% or More

So what is Ian Cooper's "secret" to making a killing for his readers with carefully selected options trades?

The truth is... there is no secret - just some good, old-fashioned, roll-up-the-sleeves research and analysis.

And fortunately for you - Ian handles all of the heavy lifting.

He sifts through general market analysis. He looks at the bigger picture. He finds what sectors will benefit from any situation. Then he scrutinizes hundreds of potential opportunities for his readers to invest in.

Once the initial analysis is complete, Ian then incorporates four specific indicators, including Bollinger Bands, W%R, candlesticks, and the news. Using just these four, Ian can call for tops and bottoms on indices, as well as individual top stocks for 2010.

But that's just the beginning.

He then applies each one before ever making a decision. Every one of them has to align on a best stock for 2010 in order for it to be considered for recommendation.

And even if all of Ian's indicators line up properly... he still won't recommend a single play unless he firmly believes it has the ability to return in excess of at least 100% gains - and in short order.

Obviously I've simplified things quite a bit here. But let's be honest - it wouldn't be fair for me to give away Ian's entire methodology in letter.

The simple truth is this: After sorting through hundreds of opportunities each week, Ian identifies the "best of the best" using his time-tested methods of analysis. Then... Ian goes one step further, insisting on providing his readers with only those opportunities that have the potential for explosive growth.

Imagine - instead of only pulling in marginal gains on top stocks market that do well, say an 18% gain in 23 days, you could be sitting on 140% gains on the same stock during the same period!

All thanks to the "magic" of options trading.

And as we prepare for the inevitable bursting of the U.S. Treasury bubble, Ian and his readers will be right there to cash in on triple-digit gains the entire way.

That's why so many investors are right now craving Ian's advice. They know that, at this very moment, his options trades are the easiest - if not the only - way an investor can fight through these difficult times and come out on top.

In fact, just since May 28th, when he launched his Options Trading Pit service, Ian's portfolio has returned gains in excess of 2,740%.

I know. Options investing still might seem a little complicated... but it's actually much easier than you might think. And Ian goes to great lengths to explain to his readers every step of every trade.

And to make certain you know exactly how everything works, Ian has prepared a report with easy to understand explanations of all of his jargon so you can follow along with everything he might alert you to.

It's called Understanding Options for Maximum Gains. And it's yours absolutely free - the moment you decide to join Ian and his wildly successful group of investors as they make fortune after fortune in his hottest service, Options Trading Pit.

Make no mistake - the timing of this chance to join Ian and the Options Trading Pit couldn't be better. With the enormous U.S. Treasury Bubble set to burst on or before April 2009... there's a once-in-a-lifetime profit opportunity out there for those who know how to cash in.

But you'll only be able to cash in if you join us today...

Profiting From Government Intervention and Ineptitude to the Tune of 2,740%!

"Another excellent call. Can't wait for next week to see what the plans are. Options are the way to make a fortune if you have good advice." - JL

Now, before I get too far ahead of myself, let me emphasize one more time... We're after the fast money.

And with Ian following and executing his U.S. Treasury Bubble-related trades... the fast money is rapidly turning into the easy money.

That's why we launched this exciting service in the first place.

By not having a pure options service, especially in this crazy market - where we can get in and out quickly with 50% to 207% profits in just a few days - we'd be missing out on some easy money.

In some cases, over 300% rapid gains on stocks market alone!

But like I mentioned a moment ago - as a result of this incredible market we're in right now - Ian is issuing alerts rapidly... and as you've seen, sometimes they're only open for a day or two.

So it's imperative that you're able to act fast to get the quickest gains.

In and out. Take the profit and run. That's precisely the game plan that's made this service an incredible success.

Of course, if the number of trades bothers you, then this service simply isn't for you.

But if getting rich doesn't bother you, I urge you to join right now.

We'll also rush you Ian's latest report, Understanding Options for Maximum Gains. We'll give you full instructions.

And that's not all!

By signing on today, I'll also rush you a free copy of my latest book, titled Profit From the Peak.

In short, Profit from the Peak is a roadmap that shows you how to profit from the rise of oil prices.

In the book, my colleague Chris Nelder and I go into full detail on tackling the world's energy problems... and how investors can maintain financial security in the process. I can say with confidence that Chris and I know a little more about today's energy markets than your average "oil expert."

"I started with $14,200. I paid for the service and 13 days later I earned the subscription fee back... and using your strategies I'm at $19,200..." - B.H.

You see, Chris is a well-regarded energy expert who has designed and built dozens of solar energy projects. This is a guy who understands the energy market inside and out... from energy's worst problems to its brightest solutions. And for the last decade, Chris and I have preached that investing is key to solving the world's energy challenges... Investments in a multitude of energy practices and technologies that will wean us away from our dependence on oil.

But we're also quick to point out that this blueprint for success also includes the economic harvesting of remaining and unconventional oil sources.

So to recap - once you sign up, you'll get immediate access to the Options Trading Pit web site... Ian's latest report... and a copy of Profit from the Peak.

And, of course, you'll be placed on the e-mail distribution list so you can begin receiving Ian's trade alerts - which can arrive any time of the day, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Now at this point, I'm sure you're wondering - with the explosive, triple-digit profit potential of every trade recommendation... access to Ian's complete trading history with Options Trading Pit... plus his latest report and a copy of Profit from the Peak...

How Could You Possibly Afford a Subscription to Ian Cooper's Options Trading Pit?

Let me be very clear.

This level of service is highly specialized. And the countless hours it takes Ian to find, study, and recommend just one of the calls or puts he uncovers - as you can imagine - takes a lot of time, expertise, and resources.

He doesn't draw top stocks for 2010 from a hat. He's not paid by other companies to recommend one over the other.

His secret is that he's an insomniac, sleeping just three hours a night.

The rest of the time, when other traders and researchers rest, spend time with their family, and take vacations, he's intently focusing on the latest news, studying the markets, and developing high-ranking contacts.

That is, however, precisely what it takes in order to hold a track record as clean as Ian's... a portfolio that scores investors like you the greatest option trades the market has to offer.

After all, I can't think of a single other trader on the planet who's collected cumulative gains of 2,740% since May!

And with just one of Ian's most recent trades, you could have turned $10,000 into $22,161 in just seven days. Again... that's just with one trade!

That being said, I've seen other "experts" billing themselves out for several thousand dollars a day - and their trading advice can't tread water next to the winners Ian shows you on a weekly basis.

So I wouldn't feel the least bit guilty charging as high as $5,000 a year for a membership to his advisory.

But I'm not going to go anywhere near that.

In fact, the normal membership price is only $999 a year - only I'm going to make you an even better deal than that.

Our Lowest Price Ever - and I'll Assume ALL of the Risk For Your Subscription Cost

If you enroll in the Options Trading Pit today, you can save a full 20%, and join for just $799 this year!

I know for many of you $799 is a big lump of money to take down, even considering that many of you have made hundreds of thousands of dollars following our advice.

So here's the deal. We're also offering a quarterly bill program. If you choose that method, you'll be charged just $250 every three months.

It's as easy as we can make it to get you on board.

"I kept my stops in place and was closed out at 4.90. I had bought them for 1.75. 100 contracts... a respectable 30 plus thousand gain." - DF

In addition, we want to make sure you're 100% satisfied. So, if for any reason you're unhappy with Options Trading Pit, you can get a full refund at any time before the end of the first month of your membership.

After that, the refund is prorated.

But I know you'll be more than satisfied with the returns you'll be able to collect from Ian's deadly-accurate, short-term trading recommendations.

By taking this one simple step - and signing up for a risk-free subscription to Options Trading Pit - you'll be taking an important safeguard to protect yourself in advance of the catastrophe that lies ahead.

But also... with just a few easy-to-follow recommendations, Ian Cooper will personally show you how to take advantage of the impending explosion of the U.S. Treasury Bubble - and how to start profiting to the tune of double- and triple-digit gains as our next great financial bubble finally bursts.
