Would You Accept
Free Shares
Worth $129,096?

Once you know the financial world's most carefully guarded secret, you can get free shares of your favorite companies... pay no brokerage fees... and sell the stock whenever you want...

Dear Reader,

I must admit... I found the idea of getting free shares hard to believe. 

But when I saw the proof with my own eyes, I realized that this opportunity is absolutely real. In fact, it could be the single most profitable secret you'll ever come across...

It sure is for Clyde DuPont, an engineer from Los Angeles who wants to retire soon. He receives free shares from Bank of America on a regular basis. "My share balance in one of the world's largest financial companies gets bigger and bigger by the quarter," he says.

As Bill Oberbeck of Oshkosh, WI tells us, Exxon Mobil has been giving him free shares for the past 20 years. Today, he gets one free share for every three he originally purchased. So if he initially bought 1,000 shares, this year alone he'll receive an additional 333 free shares – worth $29,027...

And Micky Sabori of Williamsburg, VA, has received free shares from AFLAC for almost 10 years. He describes it as the "Best thing I've ever done... hope to send the niece and nephew to college... "

The great thing is, you don't need a lot of money to get started...

Beginning in 1995 with just $122, Robert and Jackie Hubble of Warm Springs, NV have accumulated thousands of free shares in their favorite companies. In fact, those free shares have boosted their retirement savings by nearly $100,000 in total.

Of course, an opportunity this good won't remain a secret for long. Already, some journalists are picking up on the story:

I'm writing you today to tell you everything you need to know about this unique opportunity. How to earn free shares... how to bypass your broker... why you haven't heard of this before... and how much you can expect to make...

So let's get started...

The Express Route to
Retirement Freedom

It's not hard to see why this unique opportunity could forever change your financial future. Just listen to the story of Andrew Canter and you'll see what I mean...

Canter worked for the IRS for 23 years. He lived in a shabby, rent-controlled apartment in New York City.

His furniture was falling apart, he could barely pay the bills, and his approaching retirement looked bleak.

Then one day, while auditing the return of a very wealthy individual, he stumbled across a secret worth millions of dollars.

Being a very private man, Canter continued to live frugally while he quietly went about using this secret to accumulate tens of thousands of free shares over the years.

When he finally cashed them in, he had turned his life savings of $1,842 into more than $8.1 MILLION. He'd made so much money that on his death at 101 years old, he donated the lion's share of his fortune to his favorite college.

Can this secret help you like it did him?

That's the question I set out to answer in my recent investigation of this opportunity.

What I uncovered might shock you...

How to Get Free Shares In
Your Favorite Companies

Few people know about this unique opportunity.

That's because the legislation that made it possible goes back to the ‘60s - when the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis dominated the news...

Back then, the economy was booming and our basic infrastructure – things like bridges, highways, oil refineries, water and sewage systems, electricity distribution, and commercial real estate – needed to be built or improved upon.

Naturally, there were only a few companies capable of handling such big projects. More importantly, these companies were in constant need of new capital to ensure the projects' success.

So the government came up with an ingenious solution. They allowed this group of companies to sell their stock directly to the public, rather than through the traditional financial markets.

That was a huge deal. There were NO brokers... NO Wall Street... and NO stock exchanges to deal with.

Individuals would invest directly in the company. In exchange, these companies were required to pay out unusually high dividends that would automatically be reinvested in additional shares – at no out-of-pocket cost to the investor.

Here's a simplified example of how it works...

You buy five shares at $5 each. If the company pays a quarterly dividend of $1 per share and automatically reinvests it for you, you'll effectively get one free share ($1 x 5 shares = $5), which is added to your original investment. And you don't pay a cent out-of-pocket for it.

Better still, the dividends these companies pay tend to increase over time. And... you immediately start earning dividends on your free shares too.

As Forbes points out, "Over time [you] can substantially boost returns."

The great thing is, you can start out with as little as $25, and could quickly accumulate hundreds – even thousands – of free shares. Add capital gains on top of that, and you're well on your way to a worry-free retirement.

And remember, you can cash in your shares at any time, with no fees or penalties.

Let me give you a real-time example...

A $25 Retirement Plan

One of the companies that participates in this government-created program is a business called Public Service Enterprise Group, or PSEG for short.

PSEG is a $22 BILLON New Jersey-based energy provider. Founded in 1903, it's a combination of more than 400 gas, electric, and transportation companies.

PSEG delivers electricity and natural gas to over 4 million commercial, residential, and industrial customers in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic United States.

Sounds like just another boring energy service provider, doesn't it?

Think again.

PSEG is actually one of the most profitable and stable businesses in the country, and because you can deal directly from the company, they can easily help you enjoy the retirement of your dreams.

You see, every year like clockwork, PSEG brings in BILLIONS of dollars in revenue ($12 billion last year alone)... and every year it recycles a large portion of that money back to shareholders in the form of dividends.

In fact, PSEG claims that it hasn't missed a dividend payout in 100 years!

Sounds like a business you'd like to own, right?

Well, you haven't seen anything yet...

Lets say you decided to invest $25 in PSEG back in 1980. If you let it sit—without touching it—you'd collect roughly $228,775 today.

Not bad for a one-time investment of twenty-five bucks, right? By comparison, a $25 investment in the dividend-lacking S&P 500 at the same time would be worth roughly $380 today.

In other words, buying shares directly from PSEG was about 700-times more profitable!

But it gets even better...

Look at what would've happened if you added money over the years – an extra $10... $25... $100... or whatever spare change you could afford each month. 

"This is where the real oomph comes in," says Charles Carson, author of Buying Stocks Without a Broker.

That sure beats the heck out of any other retirement plan I've heard of.

And don't forget, you pay no brokerage fees – no matter how much or how often you make a contribution to the program.

Take a look at what these free shares can do for your returns:

But perhaps you're thinking: "Big deal... It took ages to make that money! Does it ever work faster than that?"

The short answer is, "yes." You don't have to wait decades to accumulate free shares worth a fortune.

Let me show you what I'm talking about...

144 Consecutive Quarterly Dividends

Another company that offers direct investment is a business called Questar Corp.

Founded in 1922, Questar is a natural gas focused energy company. In addition to exploration and production, the company provides gas distribution service to more than 850,000 customers in Utah, Wyoming and Idaho.

Nothing remarkable there.

But when it comes to paying dividends, Questar Corp. is one of the best in the business. They have paid dividends since 1972 – that's 144 consecutive quarters!

Now, let's say you made a direct investment of $5,000 in Questar in 2000. By adding just $50 a month, today you'd be sitting on 1,200 shares worth $64,396.

If you added an extra $75 a month, you'd have about $73,052.

And if you added an extra $100 a month to your Questar investment, you'd have $81,708.

If you started with $10,000 and added $100 per month you'd have more than $117,200.

Remember, this is just since the year 2000.

Now can you see why this investment opportunity could completely revamp your finances?

It's no wonder BusinessWeek journalist Todd Gunter says: It's "a great way to build wealth."

But don't ask your broker or financial advisor about the opportunity to accumulate free shares. They will try instead to push you into a mutual fund that returns, at best, 10% a year.

Remember, brokers can't collect big fees and commissions if you deal directly with the company.

I've spent the past six months investigating this little-known situation firsthand. I uncovered what I think are the six best buy-direct companies out there today, in terms of big and reliable long-term dividends.

Just how good are these opportunities?

Well, while the companies I told you about already (PSEG and Questar) have terrific track records, they're not even among the top six.

In a moment I'll show you exactly how to get started in this unique moneymaking situation. First, let me tell you a little bit more about the top six companies I've found...

If you bundle these six investments, you'll get paid an average of once every 2 weeks—about 24 times a year.

And because we'll recommend reinvesting the dividends, you can not only generate free shares over time, you could see huge profits that multiply exponentially every year without doing an ounce of work.

So the sooner you get started, the better.

How much money could you make?

It depends on your situation.

Want to pocket an extra $50,000 over the next few years? I'll show you exactly how much money to invest to get the retirement you want. If you want to earn an extra $100,000, I can show you how to do that too. Want $500,000 or more over the next few years? I can show you how to collect this much as well.

Another great thing about this opportunity is that you can add almost as much money as you want each year (up to $250,000 in some cases). So your money-making potential is virtually unlimited.

Not to mention, you can take money out whenever you need it, without the early withdrawal penalties that accompany some investments. That's what makes this opportunity so great.

Here's the next step to getting started...

Make Sure You Never Run Out of Money

My name is Tom Dyson.

I'm an investment analyst for an independent research organization called Stansberry & Associates Investment Research—headquartered in the Mt. Vernon District of Baltimore, MD.

Prior to taking my position here, I worked on the trading floor at Citigroup—the largest bond-trading firm in the world. There, trillions of dollars worth of trades passed over my desk every day—some as big as $4 billion.

I'm also a member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants—Britain's rigorous accounting certification program.

But what I love most is the grunt work—tracking down rare and profitable investment opportunities where you have the opportunity to collect huge dividends and income with very little downside risk.    

Now, as an investment analyst for Stansberry Research, that's exactly what I do. I get to travel the world to seek out the best income opportunities I can find...

In recent months, for example, I've traveled to Canada, Mexico, New York, Baltimore, California, Britain... The only reason I travel to these places is to talk to smart investors and to investigate new ideas.

For the past 6 months I've been looking very closely at this unique opportunity.

What I've found is that it is one of the safest and most lucrative investments you can make today.

If you're interested in getting the full details, I would like to send you, absolutely free, my full Research Report called Fire Your Broker! And Start Collecting Free Shares.

This comprehensive report contains the names and details of the top six companies... how and when you'll receive your dividends... how to reinvest them... how much you will collect... and most importantly, how to make these investments right away.

To receive access to your free copy, all I ask is that you take a no-risk trial subscription to my monthly investment research advisory, called The 12% Letter.

I know it's an unusual name... so let me tell you more about it...

Triple Your Gains
With Far Less Risk...

Everyone wants income.

But the funny thing is, almost every single financial advisor and stockbroker I've met over the past decade, simply doesn't know how to go about collecting it.

The truth is, you're never going to get enough income to live on by using ordinary stocks, bonds, CDs, and savings accounts. Look at the current yield on our government's two-year bond, which is a pitiful 2.1% annually...

If you really want to make serious income on your investments, you need to take a look at a group of unique investments that will pay you 5 to 10-times as much as these ordinary investments.

The best part is, these "alternatives" are every bit as safe – and a heck of a lot more profitable – than what you're probably investing in right now.

The research I do every month is published in The 12% Letter. And the premise is simple: I will show you unique ways to collect huge dividends, often as high as 12% or more, without taking big risks.

You simply have to know where to look... and understand how these opportunities work.

The investments I write about each month in The 12% Letter have traditionally been some of the best performing stocks in the entire market... over almost any period.

It comes down to this: Make sure you get paid.

Every month, in The 12% Letter, I help to make sure you get paid for your investments. I report on the highest-paying opportunities in the market. I'll show you everything you need to know to make 3-times as much money as you'd make with typical stocks, with far less risk, and far less work.

In fact, let me tell you about another great way to make tremendous dividend income over the next few years...

Have you heard of
The Monthly Dividend Company?

Right now in California, there's a small company with one very unique mission: To provide its shareholders with income for life...

Some companies build houses... other companies make shoes... the company I want to tell you about has just one purpose... to pay out thousands of dollars each month in extra income.

While there are very few certainties in life, it is the specific goal of this company to provide shareholders with increasing monthly dividends... every month... year after year... for as long as you decide to keep collecting.
 
Everything this company does... every decision they make... in fact every business function they undertake... is solely for the purpose of creating a growing and reliable income payout each month for anyone who owns shares.

In fact, that's exactly the way it's written in the company charter:

It even says it on the company's website:

As The Monthly Dividend Company® our primary goal is to provide dependable monthly income to shareholders.

While most companies look to line the executives' pockets... this company's main objective is to pay shareholders bigger and bigger dividends...

And they've been doing exactly that for 37 straight years...

Since 1970 this company has paid out 440 consecutive dividends, with 43 dividend increases since 1994.  And... there were 5 increased payouts in 2006 alone.

Have a look at its amazing track record in the chart below...

Since it went public in 1994 the total return on The Monthly Dividend Company has been a whopping 2,540% (that's 8-times better than the S&P 500). A $10,000 investment would now be worth well over a quarter of a million dollars. 

And what's more, management has a huge vested interest in keeping these big payouts coming month after month...

According to one senior executive with the company...

"We enjoy owning shares [of this company] because it provides us with increasing spendable income that we look forward to receiving for the rest of our lives.  The shares that we own are, generally, a large portion of our total assets and we depend on this income to support our families."

Ordinary shareholders love it because it provides safe, reliable, long-term cash payouts...

If you're looking for more income on a monthly basis, this is a situation you simply can't afford to pass up.

Everything you need to know is in my Research Report called: The Monthly Dividend Company.

Here, I'll tell you the official name of The Monthly Dividend Company... when you'll receive your dividend checks... and how much you can expect to collect...

This report, like Fire Your Broker! And Start Collecting Free Shares, is also FREE of charge.

To receive access to each, all I ask in return is that you take a no-risk trial subscription to The 12% Letter.

So... Is The 12% Letter right for you?

Only you can decide. But I do have to warn you: It's not for everyone.

Here's what I mean...

This May Not be For You...

You won't find the "Next Big Thing" in The 12% Letter.

While most advisory letters are constantly trying to find hot "new" ideas, I've spent the last couple years making sure the ideas I'm presenting in my research advisory are the very best ones – the investments that have been making investors more money for the majority of the last two centuries than any other investments out there.

Like I said before: Make sure you get paid.

It seems like such a sensible rule – crucial really – and yet, it amazes me how so many investors willingly ignore it... and gladly sink thousands of dollars into regular stocks that pay them absolutely nothing in return.

Just think about that for a minute: The only way you're ever going to make money on most of the stocks you own is if someone decides to pay more for them than you did.

When you buy a typical stock, you have no idea when – or even if – you'll get your money back.

Instead of holding onto regular stocks and waiting for the "big payday" (a day that may never come), I suggest you try a different approach.  Get paid for your investments instead – and start collecting hundreds... even thousands of dollars every month.

If that sounds like a much better idea, then I urge you to try The 12% Letter today.

The total 12% Letter access package includes:

Plus, every month you'll receive my research advisory, The 12% Letter, delivered on the third Tuesday of each month first by email, then by regular mail too.

And you'll also get a members-only e-mail called THE S&A DIGEST: A daily report that brings you "inside" our world of information, investments, travel, politics, and friendships. And, because it's for subscribers only... from time to time we share a few of our group's very best stock recommendations.

How much does The 12% Letter cost and how can you start taking full advantage of all the opportunities I've outlined?

I can tell you one thing: If you went to an exclusive hedge-fund manager or full service broker, you may get some good advice, but you'll also pay some enormous fees.

(S.A.C. Capital for example, run by billionaire trader/manager Steve Cohen, charges their clients a whopping 50% performance fee on their profits – meaning they'll keep 50% of all the money they make you.)

We charge as much as $5,000 a year for some of the services we offer here at Stansberry Research.

I think we could charge just as much for The 12% Letter – and it would still be a bargain. If you sign up for my service today, I'll show you how you could make more than that in a matter of weeks.

But if you sign up through this special online offer, you'll save significantly. And, like I said, your subscription is entirely risk-free.

Before I give you the details, let me tell you about one more safe way to make extraordinary profits over the next few years...  

Canadian Oil Sands Royalties

If you've been paying attention to the oil business lately, you know that the Canadian oil sands region—a remote area of Alberta, Canada that holds 175 BILLION barrels of oil—is absolutely booming...

Crude oil production is expected to double in the next five years and quadruple by 2025, according to Oil and Gas Investor.

But what you might not know is that there's a reliable way to collect lucrative royalties on Canadian oil sands profits.

You see, while the Canadian government gouges most energy companies on corporate taxes... I found a company that doesn't pay a cent.

In fact, they've never paid corporate taxes on any of the profits earned from their operations in the rich oil sands region of Alberta, Canada.

Instead, this company sends royalty checks to shareholders, 12-times a year. And they do this by using profits most companies have to hand over to the government at tax time.

These are just like dividends, only bigger than your typical payout.

How is this possible?

Thanks to a special tax code the Canadian government wrote back in the 1980s this company NEVER has to pay corporate taxes... as long as it gives the majority of its profits back to its shareholders.

If you look at the Canadian Income Tax Act of 1986, you'll see this agreement is even guaranteed by law.

As an American you can take full advantage, without ever living, working, or investing in Canada. In fact, you never have to leave home.

If you'd put $10,000 into this company in 2000, you'd be sitting on a possible $65,454 today.

If you agree to take a trial subscription to The 12% Letter, I'll send you all the details you need to get started right away – FREE of charge – in my Special Report called, Canadian Oil Sands Royalties.

Here's how to get started today...

Special online offer for new
12% Letter subscribers

The 12% Letter costs just $99 for a full year of research and reports.

Is it worth paying the equivalent of just $8 a month to learn about the safe and profitable income opportunities you won't hear about any place else? I think so, but here's what a few paid 12% Letter subscribers have to say...

For the introductory price of $99 you get access to:

Sign up today and you'll receive instant access (in the next 2-3 hours) to all of these reports on our subscribers-only website.

You will also begin receiving The 12% Letter on the third Tuesday of each month, sent first by e-mail, then by regular mail too. 

The way I look at it, the longer you wait to get in on these investment opportunities, the less money you will have for retirement.

Quite frankly, I believe The 12% Letter and my investment reports will change the way you invest forever.

If I help you make a lot of money, you'll most likely keep reading my research. But on the other hand, if you're not completely happy, I'll gladly give you a refund, just for giving my service a try.
