"Unlike anything I've ever seen."
~Barron's interview; money manager Paul Seaver

From now until July 2009, you have the opportunity to
double or even triple your retirement savings – no matter what
happens to the US economy and the stock market.

Dear Reader,

If you've ever wanted to take advantage of the tremendous growth taking place in China...

Without the big risks that typically go along with it...

You'll probably be interested in learning more about what is arguably the biggest and most potentially profitable investment secret in the world right now.

I'm talking about a phenomenon called "CHIMERICA," where the money being made (and paid to investors like you and me), is unlike anything I've ever seen before:

You won't find CHIMERICA on a map. At least not yet anyway.

But it could easily turn out to be the most valuable place for regular Americans like you and me to make money over the next decade.

Already, thousands of smart U.S. citizens are cashing in:

The amazing thing is that this opportunity we call "CHIMERICA" is still completely off the radar, not only here in United States... but also in China... and everywhere else in the investment world too.

The only time we've ever seen the place written about in the mainstream press was a brief mention deep in the pages of Barrons, in an interview with long-time money manager Paul Seaver.

Seaver said the opportunity at hand "is unlike anything I've ever seen." 

My colleagues and I have spent the better part of six months investigating "CHIMERICA" firsthand. I can almost guarantee you will not hear about it anywhere else.

But if you're willing to learn a little more, I believe it easily offers you the best chance to make outsized gains of 550% or more over the next 12-18 months, beginning with just a few hundred dollars.

Let me show you what I mean...

Finally, You Get the Upperhand...

What EXACTLY is CHIMERICA... and what does it have to do with you?

The best way to show you is with a recent example...

In the state of Nevada, there's a company called Wonder Auto Technology.

At first glance, you won't find anything too remarkable about Wonder Auto's business...

The company makes money manufacturing intricate auto parts like "starters" and "alternators," used in various types of cars, pick-ups, and SUVs.

The company also makes parts for General Motors, Kia, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Benz-Daimler Chrysler, to name a few.

But here's the thing...

If you live in Nevada, and need a new starter or alternator... you can forget taking your car to Wonder Auto to get fixed.

Why?

Because, even though you can buy shares of Wonder Auto on the US stock market... (they've shot up as much as 1,100% since May 2006...)

And even though Wonder Auto is officially registered as a US corporation...

... With an American-sounding name...

The company doesn't have a single building here in the United States.

Come again?

In short, Wonder Auto Technology does all of its work, and makes all of its profits, in China. It's Chinese-founded, and Chinese-based.

Yet, you can only buy shares of Wonder Auto, here in the United States.  

So what, exactly, is going on here?

Let me explain...

"A fundamental phenomenon... "
~Harvard Business School

Wonder Auto is an example of a type of investment we call "CHIMERICA" stocks.

Part Chinese... and part American... CHIMERICA stocks are companies that do business in China, with Chinese management, Chinese employees, and Chinese currency. They make products for Chinese consumers.

Yet, these stocks don't trade anywhere in China.

You can only invest in Chimerica stocks here in the United States of America.

Consider a CHIMERICA company called Origin Agritech. (It's China's equivalent of the American food company Monsanto.)

It produces  crop seeds like corn, cotton, canola, and rice. You can find Origin's headquarters and base of operations in China. But you can only buy shares of Origin Agritech (ticker symbol: SEED) on a stock exchange in New York.

How's this possible?

Well, today you can find roughly 20 million officially registered businesses in China...

Many of these companies want to "go public"... and have their shares listed on China's stock exchanges.

But here's the thing...

There's a HUGE waiting list for Chinese companies to go public on one of their local exchanges (2-3 years).

But a good Chinese business can go public here, in America, in just 3-6 months.

That's why, for instance, a company called China Security & Surveillance Technology (CSCT) chose the U.S. stock market over China's.

These guys provide security and surveillance technology for the Chinese Government.

Rather than wait years to go public on China's stock exchange, this small company listed in America first...

And we're glad they did.

Last July, when the Chinese government passed a law mandating this company's surveillance at every nightclub, every Internet cafe and every bar in China... shares began to skyrocket.

If you'd invested in China Security & Surveillance Technology within the past two years... then you're probably sitting on a fortune today.

How does it all work? It's a pretty simple process most investors don't have a clue about...

The Secret Behind "Chimerica"

In short, Chinese companies are able to "list" their shares in America (and become CHIMERICA companies) thanks to what US lawyers call a "reverse merger."

Sounds complicated, I know... but it's really pretty simple.

In essence, to list in America, Chinese companies find an American "shell" company and simply back themselves in.

A shell company is a stock without a business. The business has no assets or operations, but it still has a name and a stock symbol.
 
Take United National Film Corporation. It stopped doing business in 2001 and became an empty shell. In 2007, United National Film Corporation "merged" with a company that makes turbines for Chinese power plants.

Now this company's name is Wuhan General Group and its stock trades in America under the ticker symbol WUHN. Just in the past 12 months, shares of Wuhan General have soared 447%. That's $22,343 in return for every $5,000.

Welcome to Chimerica!  

Ordinarily, you and I would never have access to an opportunity like this one.

In the past, Chinese stocks like China Security and Surveillance Technology only traded in China – on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges.

But today – thanks to this phenomenon known as "Chimerica" – you can now buy shares of these super fast-growing Chinese companies – right here in the U.S.A.

So far, more than one hundred Chinese businesses have moved their shares and shareholders to the US stock market. And that's just in the past few years – since this phenomenon began.

So, what's so appealing about Chimerica stocks? Why are they better than ordinary U.S. stocks?

And why are they better than ordinary shares of Chinese companies that you can buy in China?

Make Money Even if the
U.S. Economy is Falling

Well, one of the things that's so appealing about Chimerica companies is that they are growing by as much as 40% to 80% a year. (That's ten times faster than America's top businesses.)

This gives you the potential to make absolutely incredible gains, in a very short period of time...

»For example, a CHIMERICA company called Jinpan International (JST) has seen its net income soar 66% over the last several months – even as the global economy has slowed down. Why? Because these guys make electricity equipment in China, which the Chinese economy desperately needs – no matter what's happening in the financial markets

Not surprisingly, Jinpan's share price (the stock trades in America) has also SOARED. If you bought shares of Jinpan (JST) in March 2007, you could have seen as much as a 175% return on your investment.

Even better, if you'd bought shares five years ago, you'd have made as much as 21-times your money. That turns a $5,000 stake into $105,000.

As you can see, these "CHIMERICA" companies are China's high-growth superstars of tomorrow – available to you and me on U.S. exchanges today.

But these stocks businesses have long-term plans too. They're not out to make a quick buck and pack it in. They're literally the future Walmarts, Verizons, and Best Buys of China.

That's why Fortune 500 companies like Microsoft, Intel, GlaxoSmithKline, Panasonic, DaimlerChrysler, and close to 50 other business heavyweights are already doing business deals with "CHIMERICA" companies.

Microsoft, for instance, just formed a business partnership with Comtech Group – a "CHIMERICA" company that's quickly cornering China's lucrative video display market. If you'd invested $5,000 in Comtech's stock in 2002, you could be sitting on as much as $125,000 in profit today.

You probably get the point — CHIMERICA companies have incredible growth potential.

So it's pretty clear why these CHIMERICA companies are better bets right now than ordinary U.S. stocks.

Banned in China,
LEGAL in the United States...

Because shares of CHIMERICA stocks are listed right here in the States, the SEC reviews these companies' applications – and approves or denies them.

Why is that a big deal?

Well, to stay in the U.S., they MUST follow U.S. accounting standards – they must play by the same rules as any other America public company like Johnson and Johnson and Exxon. That way, you know you're investing in a credible and legitimate business.

And here's the #1 reason why Chimerica shares are so appealing: While Chinese shares traded in Shanghai are very, very expensive... these CHIMERICA companies (many of which are growing more than 50% a year), are super cheap

Why?

Because Chinese locals can't own them. It's very complicated for a Chinese investor to buy here right now. And most Americans have simply not heard of these businesses, because they simply don't do any business here.

Think about it...

Everyone in America has heard of the electronics store, Best Buy. It's probably the #1 electronics super-store in the country.

But I bet not 1 in 1,000 Americans has heard of the Chinese equivalent – a CHIMERICA company called China 3C.

And that's a shame too...

You see, any electronic device or gadget you can find at Best Buy in America... China 3C carries it too...

Cell phones, DVD players, speakers, stereos, iPods, laptops, digital camcorders and cameras, televisions, you name it.

And while most Americans have never heard of this Chimerica company...

Panasonic, Samsung, and Philips (the biggest names in electronics) certainly have... and use CHINA 3C to distribute their products.

Sales at CHINA 3C doubled this past year... and net profits shot up 112.7%.

The company's growing like crazy...

Even though it's headquartered in HangZhou, China... you can only buy shares here in the United States, where it trades on the American stock market...

In the past 4 years, shares of China 3C have risen as much as 2,003% -- that's a $100,156 return for every $5,000 invested. Just in the past 18 months, shares have risen as much as 545% in value.

So which CHIMERICA investments offer you the best opportunity to make several times your money today?
 
The best opportunities for you to make a fortune from Chimerica are in the works right now...

Simply put, I believe the sooner you get in on these companies, the more money you will make. They are pretty much going straight up...

The Super Easy Way to Pick Up the Best
CHIMERICA Stocks Today

With more than 100 different CHIMERICA stocks to choose from...

How do you know which ones to buy?

We've spent nearly six months looking at roughly one hundred CHIMERICA companies. And we've found that there are two Chimerica companies that stand head shoulders above the rest.

If this idea sounds interesting to you... then I recommend you buy shares of these companies immediately. Plan to hold them for at least the next three years. And don't be surprised if they turn out to be the two most profitable stocks you have ever owned...

» CHIMERICA INVESTMENT #1: The "SAFEWAY of China"

Just this past year, the price of eggs, dairy and poultry experienced the highest jump in eighteen years, according to the US Dept of Agriculture. And most economists expect prices will only climb through 2012. Why? Because China has 500 million new middle-class mouths to feed... and not enough food. That's why you can easily make a fortune by investing in a CHIMERICA company we're calling the "SAFEWAY OF CHINA." These guys have 550 food stores throughout China. And, in the past year, grew their bottom line by an amazing 458%! Buy this CHIMERICA stock today on the U.S. stock market and you should double your money pretty quickly.

» CHIMERICA INVESTMENT #2: The "Motorola of China"

Imagine taking home a small percentage of profit every time someone in China buys a cell phone. Very quickly you'd find yourself sitting on a huge stash of investment returns! China has more than 400 million cell phone users (that's more than the entire US population). And expects to add another 250 million by 2012.  We've found a CHIMERICA company that controls 69% of a key niche of this fast-growing cell phone market! It's no wonder revenues at this company have grown 40% a year for the past 3 years. You can buy shares from your regular US broker, just as you would any other stock. We suggest you do, right away, and hold on to your shares through 2010.

I've only given you a snapshot of the two CHIMERICA businesses we're recommending.

But as you can probably see, each offers you:

1)large potential returns on your investment
2)access to buying shares on the US stock market
3)and exposure to China's rapidly growing industries

I recommend taking a stake in both these businesses, sooner, rather than later.

Why?

Because no matter how far and fast America's economy might fall...

In the short-term... and in the long run, China's economy will KEEP GROWING.

And, therefore, so will CHIMERICA stocks – especially the two we've highlighted...

Why?

Because their industries are tied directly to China's economic growth.

Here, take a look at the following graph. You should see 4 lines.

Three of these lines are US stock markets from the past year. They all hover pretty much on the same stagnating course.

But the fourth line – the one steadily rising – represents CHIMERICA stocks. And it's drastically different than the rest:

As you can see, CHIMERICA stocks have been crushing regular US stocks.

Why?

Because even though they trade in America, they reflect the growth of the Chinese economy... which has been growing 3-times as fast as our own (and will continue to do so through 2025, according to most experts).

The Chinese Government literally has trillions socked away. So their economy has plenty of room to grow.

Meanwhile, our own US Government owes China and dozens of other lenders MORE than a trillion dollars. So our economy has been floundering, our Dollar has been crashing... and our retirement savings along with it.

Why We've Visited More than
20 Countries in the Past Year

My name is Brian Hunt.

I'm the Research Director of Stansberry & Associates Investment Research – a private financial research firm, headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland.

At Stansberry & Associates, we routinely seek out unique and profitable investment ideas... opportunities you're not likely to hear about in the mainstream financial media or through big brokerage houses. 

Unlike big investment firms, we focus our efforts on lesser-known investment deals. After all, who wants to pay for investment advice you can get in the newspaper?

That's why my colleagues and I have spent the past 6 months tracking down the details of CHIMERICA, as part of our research for my monthly retirement advisory called International Strategist.

We created this research service to give Americans another way to think about retirement.

You see, we believe that if you want to retire comfortably in the U.S., you've got to start looking beyond U.S. borders with your investments.

Why do I say that?

Well... it's simple, once you look at the cold hard facts...

You'd probably agree U.S. stocks, by and large, have done quite well over the past 5 years.

In fact, we've just had one of the three longest bull markets in U.S. history. The stock market as a whole is up 74% during that period.

Not bad.

But did you know that if you had simply looked overseas with just a tiny percentage of your portfolio, you could have made safe gains of 5- 10-times as much.

In 1998, for instance, Greece's stock market rose 93.5% in just 12 months.

You can find similar examples, going as far back as 1980. Every single year, a stock market outside the US crushes the world-wide average.

Not once in 27 years does the U.S. stock market emerge as the global champion. Not once in 20+ years.

And this past year? How did US stocks stack up against the rest of the world?

Well, take a look at the world's top three stocks for 2006-2007:

Where do U.S. stocks fall on this list?

Nowhere.

Not in the top ten. Not even in the top fifty.

The top 3 best performing US stocks (with a market capitalization greater than $1 billion) don't come anywhere close.

Take a look:

It's not just U.S. stocks either...

U.S. mutual funds are losing big-time to international funds.

Take a look at the top 5 performing mutual funds from this past year:

Every single one of the mutual funds listed above focuses on international investments.

I'm not trying to scare you with this data.

Not at all.

My point is this:

Who knows where exactly the U.S. stock market and the US dollar will go from here... but you can be sure every single year there's a great investment opportunity available if you are simply willing to look beyond U.S. borders.

That's why we launched International Strategist.

And that's why we hired a Tom Dyson as lead researcher.

Though he's worked on Wall Street and now lives in the States... Tom grew up in Britain... where he spent the better part of two decades examining the different ways people in other countries are planning for retirement...

He's a member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants—Britain's rigorous accounting certification program. And Tom's also worked on the trading floor at Citigroup in London—the largest bond-trading firm in the world.... where, trillions of dollars worth of trades passed over his desk every day, from every major country you can think of.

In just the past year, Tom and his researchers have spent considerable fact-finding time in Zurich, Switzerland, Dubai, Paris, Singapore, New Zealand, China, Japan, Canada, throughout the United Kingdom, and, of course, the United States.

If you are as interested in this idea as I am, I encourage you to have a look at our special investment report called: CHIMERICA: How to Make a Fortune from China's Biggest Secret – Right Here in the USA.

This recently published report contains all of the essential details on Chimerica – including the 2 very best Chimerica stocks in the world right now – as well as simple instructions on how to get started.

I'd like to send you a copy of this Research Report, our compliments. It's the first thing you'll receive with a trial subscription to our publication called International Strategist.

Let me tell you about something else you'll receive – on us – if you are interested in trying our investment research...

Have You Heard of COMMONWEALTH SHARES?

Thanks to a falling U.S. Dollar, a bankrupt Social Security system and a lackluster stock market...

Thousands of Americans have been looking outside the United States for retirement security... and the situation they've uncovered in Britain could be the answer.

I'm talking about a little-known British Gov't plan that lets you collect surprisingly large sums of income (an extra $60K-$176K a year) — without ever leaving home.

British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher created this initiative in the Winter of 1979 (with eventual support from U.S. President Ronald Reagan) to rescue the British economy from Depression.

The program was so successful... it quickly spread to former British colonies such as Canada, New Zealand, Cyprus, Malta, Singapore, and Australia.

These countries, along with 46 others (including Great Britain), make up what's known as the British Commonwealth. Today, these are among the richest and most stable countries in the world, thanks in large part to this program.

In short, what these nations have done, following the lead of Britain, is to allow private citizens to invest in government-run monopolies.

We call these investments "COMMONWEALTH SHARES."

Let me show you an example of how it works...

In 1991, the British Government issued "Commonwealth Shares" in the State-owned electricity monopoly. To encourage as many folks to buy shares as possible, the government offered investors every financial incentive you can imagine...

Everything from big-time discounts on their electricity bills to free stock (in this case, the British Government would have given you one share for every 10 shares you bought).

If the Government is giving away shares, then it couldn't possibly be a good investment, could it?

Well, if you'd bought "Commonwealth Shares" at this time, you would have watched your investment continuously rise in value (multiplying as much as 334-times over). That rate of return turns a simple $100 stake into $33,400!

It's impossible to find these types of gov't-backed opportunities in America... but in the British Commonwealth, there are a handful of these situations that can safely make you an absolute fortune.

As an American, you can easily take advantage of this unique British initiative too: without ever leaving home ... no matter how old you are ... where you live ... and even if you're already collecting from Social Security, 401ks or any kind of U.S. pensions.

Over the course of several months, my colleagues and I visited a half-dozen nations in search of the best Commonwealth Shares to grow your wealth over the long term.

We found one country that offers by far the best opportunity.

If you are as interested in this idea as I am, I encourage you to have a look at our special investment report called: Commonwealth Shares — An Upperclass Retirement, Courtesy of the British Government.

This recently published report contains all of the essential details on Commonwealth Shares
— including the 2 very best Commonwealth investments in the world right now — as well as simple instructions on how to get started.

You'll receive this report at no charge, as part of your trial subscription to INTERNATIONAL STRATEGIST.

Is INTERNATIONAL STRATEGIST right for you? Let me tell you some more about this unique research service and our firm — so you might have a better understanding.

You won't find these ideas anywhere else...

If you've never heard of Stansberry & Associates before, I'm not at all surprised.

We're an independent financial research firm.

Meaning, our business does not depend on the special interests, banking deals, and trading commissions that most of your big-name Wall Street firms use to make money.

So how do we prosper as a business?

We get paid solely on the basis of our investment ideas, which we publish in more than a dozen different trading research products and investment newsletters.

If our moneymaking ideas make money for our readers, then we grow as a business. That's Stansberry & Associates in a nutshell.

So far, I think we've done pretty well as a business... and for our readers...

What began as a 3-person company in 1999 with less than one thousand readers... is now a mid-sized firm with readers in more than more than 50 different countries... and with 40+ employees on the payroll.

In Baltimore, MD, you can find our corporate headquarters at 1217 St. Paul Street... at the northern end of Baltimore's historic Mt. Vernon district... in a refurbished 19th century Railroad Mansion, once owned by the famous Winans Family.

We also maintain satellite offices in Florida, San Francisco, the Pacific NW... as well as abroad, in Waterford, Ireland, London, Germany, and Australia.

Our most exciting new investment research service is International Strategist. As I mentioned, Tom Dyson is the lead researcher for this service.

For the better part of a year, Tom and his fellow analysts at Stansberry & Associates have been on the road and in the air, traveling throughout the US... and investigating opportunities in more than 20 countries.

The moneymaking opportunities they've uncovered... are, well, quite simply, you won't hear of them any place else...

For example:

You'll have full and unfettered access online to our reports on these opportunities... as soon as you begin your trial subscription to International Strategist.

Before I give you the specifics, let me quickly tell you about one more investment idea we're excited about right now...

Canada's Best-Kept Retirement Secret

If you're looking for another reliable source of retirement income...then you need to look North, across the border...

I'm referring to a special group of 14 Canadian businesses that have been paying out dividends to shareholders – every single year, some as far back as the early 19th century!

All you have to do is simply look North of the Border... and you'll find this amazing opportunity to collect tremendous amounts of income, for the next decade and beyond.

For example, one Canadian company, based out of Nova Scotia, has paid out dividends to shareholders every single year since 1832. PLUS, they've increased payouts in 27 of the last 29 years.

ALL 14 of these unique Canadian companies are swimming in cash...

Here's the best part...

Since 1856 these businesses have been required to make monthly returns to the shareholders.

It's no wonder these special Canadian companies have beaten the U.S. stock market over the past four decades...
 
And it's no wonder Morningstar – the world-renowned investment data firm – says these businesses "simply produce results"... and why Barrons recently wrote that one of these companies has "one of the most consistent records for dividend growth."

We've put together a special investment White Paper Briefing called Constitutional Dividends – Canada's Best-Kept Retirement Secret.

Best of all, when you take a trial subscription to International Strategist newsletter, you'll receive a copy of Constitutional Dividends - Canada's Best-Kept Retirement Secret, yours to keep, no matter what you decide once your trial subscription ends.

If you are retired, or if you are
considering retirement...

INTERNATIONAL STRATEGIST can help you support a lifestyle you may not have thought was possible. INTERNATIONAL STRATEGIST costs only $99 for an entire year of research and reports.

Is it worth paying the equivalent of around $8 a month to learn about safe and profitable investment opportunities you'll hear about nowhere else?

I absolutely believe so. If we didn't passionately believe in our research, then we wouldn't spend 200+ days out of the year living out of airport terminals, and — foreign hotels —traveling from one country to the next.

I'd like you to have the opportunity to try INTERNATIONAL STRATEGIST for the next 6 months, without feeling obligated to pay a single penny. When you sign up for a trial subscription to INTERNATIONAL STRATEGIST today, you will receive:

The longer you wait to get started with these investments, the less money you will have for retirement.

Sincerely,

Brian Hunt,
Director of Research, Stansberry & Associates
