April 30th 2009 Dear Reader, On April 30th, a Seattle drug company will announce the results of a prostate cancer vaccine in the final stages of clinical testing... If successful... it would be the biggest cancer breakthrough to date. It would save thousands of lives... bring in billions in revenue for the small company developing it... and make early investors a fortune, overnight. The medical community is so excited about this event; mainstream news sources are already brimming with anticipation as the date draws near: "A government panel gave the go-ahead Thursday for the first in a new class of anti-cancer drugs."Sounds like a "slam-dunk" situation, right? But what if I told you that there's overwhelming evidence that this vaccine is going to fail on April 30th? In fact, what if I told you it's already failed clinical trials once before a little-known fact about this "miracle" cure.But that's not all... What if I told you that these clinical trials are so severely flawed, there's no way patients participating in them will show positive results?Look, there's lots of uncertainty in the markets right now, but I believeas strongly as I have believed anything in my financial careerthat the FDA WILL NOT approve this new vaccine. You see, if you really want to make a killing from this situation, bet against this drug. Don't worry, in this letter I'm going to show you exactly how to do just that... just as easy as buying a regular stock. More importantly, I'm going to show you how you could TRIPLE your money or more on April 30th... when the company announces the outcome of the trial... How do I know all of this... ? I'll show you... $100,000 to obtain this expert's research First of all, let me address the "elephant in the room": Yes, I am going to tell you how to make money when a stock price FALLS. If you're not willing to make money from a stock's sudden demise... Then this information is not for you. If you've never "shorted" a stock before, or have no interest in learning how to do so, please click out of this webpage... and forget you ever received this email from us. We don't want to waste your time. And we don't want you to waste ours either. You see, we've paid more than $100,000 to obtain the information in this letter, but it is not for everyone. Now... if you're still with us, let me fill you in on what we've discovered. About a year ago, a well-connected medical insider reached out to us here at Stansberry & Associates. After conducting a full background check, we found out that he spent 5 years at the top medical school in America, working on his Ph.D. in Cellular & Molecular Medicine under the tutelage of a Nobel Laureate in Chemistry. We also found that his drug and vaccine research has been published in just about every major American medical journal. After approaching us, this gentleman agreed to share a very unique secret about the drug industry's "clinical review process."
In fact, it's a secret he has used personally, in his own trading account, to predictably make money in the drug and pharmaceutical industry: For example, not too long ago, a company called Introgen began touting their new cancer drug, Advexin. Shares of Introgen topped $3 as mainstream investors bought shares left and right. But after investigating the company... and the science behind the drug... this expert discovered the drug could never work. But still the company persisted it would. The FDA failed the drug and our Ph.D. made 80% as the stock crashed.And then... Several months ago, a company called Electro-Optical Sciences (MELA) began developing a device to better screen for skin cancer. Anticipation of the trial results pushed the stock to almost $10. Again, investors got excited... but our Ph.D. knew the device would never make it past the FDA. Sure enough, he made a quick 60% profit.In fact, he's been telling us about dozens of these "medical opportunities," which he says, "happen all the time": » For example, just a few weeks ago you could have made 770% gains in just a few weeks with Biomarin Pharmaceuticals (BMRN) and its failed drug "6R-BH4".Best of all, you could have known approximately when these drug failures would have happened BEFORE they were announced to the public. But how? And how does all of this relate to the new prostate cancer vaccine, I mentioned earlier? I'll show you... want you to know... According to our Ph.D., the drug and pharmaceutical industry's "clinical review process" is severely rigged. And it's because of this "rigged" system that you have an extraordinary opportunity to make a lot of money. Let me explain... I'm sure I don't have to tell you that one of the most profitable things you can do in America is develop a new drug to treat just about any type of disease. The rewards are simply staggering... Did you know, for example, that drug companies can charge about $20,000 per year for ordinary drugs to fight various diseases? And did you know that if you need treatment for diseases like breast cancer, the drugs you need can cost as much as $50,000 a year? Incredible, isn't it? And even that staggering figure is peanuts compared to California-based Biomarin's genetic disease treatment, Aldurazyme, which costs a whopping $100,000 a year! That's why it's no surprise that drug companies make so much money. In one recent year, for example, as hard as it is to believe, the top 10 drug makers in the Fortune 500 made more money than all of the other 490 companies combined. Can you imagine that... the 10 biggest drug companies made more money than Wal-Mart, Coke, IBM, Home Depot, Microsoft, McDonald's, Exxon, and the rest of the Fortune 500 companies... COMBINED! In short, selling drugs in America is basically highway robbery a license to print money...
You see, in the clinical review process, 8 out of every 10 new drugs fail their clinical tests. In fact, there are other, more specific types of drugs that fail a whopping 9 out of 10 times (more on this in a moment). How can 80% of new drugs fail... yet drug companies still make so much money? Well, the truth is, the drug companies don't care if most of their tests fail. That's why these firms go public in the first place, and bring in hundreds of millions from shareholders. What I mean by that is, when drug companies go public, and get listed on the stock market, they are able to use hundreds of millions of dollars from ordinary shareholders to fund their work. Then, they simply submit one "long-shot" drug after another, sometimes copying a drug that's already out there, in hopes that the overworked Food & Drug Administration (FDA) will allow one to get through. For example, the vast majority of "Big Pharma" companies' drugs, like New York-based Bristol-Myers Squibb's, NEVER make it past clinical trials. But a few years ago, they finally found one that did. Today its cancer drug, Erbitux costs EACH patient a whopping $50,000 a year! The point is, drug companies know full well that 8 out of every 10 new drugs will fail in clinical trials. And herein lies our opportunity... to a drug than yes." -- Dr. David A. Kessler, Director of the FDA (1990 1997)
Most investors think the way to make money in the biotech world is to find a promising new drug, and hope the company is successful spending millions of dollars getting it past the FDA. Like the new prostate cancer vaccine I've been talking about in this letter. But remember, 8 out of every 10 new drugs fail in clinical trials so the odds are stacked heavily against you making money on these investments. Maybe you've had the experience in your own investment career... You hear about a great company with a great story about a promising new drug. Problem is, these new drugs fail in clinical tests, 80% of the time. What most investors don't know, however, is that you could make a fortune every time one of these new drugs fails. And because new drugs fail 80% of the time... well... you could make an absolute fortune in a very short amount of time. Just take a look at the drug trial our Ph.D. drug expert showed us in the past 60 days alone. Note the gains you could have made in 24 hours or less, in the column to the right: ![]() The average gain on this list is over 408%. What's more, you could have pocketed these gains nearly 20 TIMES during the worst market conditions of the past 80 years. Imagine that... a $1,000 stake on each one of these drugs would be worth roughly $77,520 in just a few months time. But believe it or not, it gets a lot better... Every big drug company has its "magic pill." Pfizer has Lipitor. Wyeth has Effexor. Merck has Singulair. AstraZeneca (AZN) the British drug company has a lung cancer drug called Iressa. It's their "magic pill"... their cash cow. They sell it for $10,000 a pop. The company loves to talk about the "success" of Iressa. But what they fail to mention is that you could have made a lot of money, many times over the past few months, after the company's stock plunged on several drug failures. Have a look in the chart below... ![]() We estimate you could have DOUBLED your money at least seven times over the past year with this company's clinical drug trial failures... In fact, see that last bit of "bad news" all the way to the right on the chart? That alone represents a 1,480% gain (in a single afternoon) with a "failed" drug called Zactima. But that's not all our expert showed us... The same is true for a drug maker called Elan (ELN). We estimate several QUADRUPLE-digit gain opportunities over the past few years with this company's drug trial failures... ![]() Or how about Pain Therpeutics (PTIE), who's put together an "impressive string of losers" as well. We estimate at least SEVEN opportunities to TRIPLE your money since 2004. ![]() The point is, it's a lot easier to make money predicting the drug failures than successes. You can easily make a lot of money by betting against the success of these very sophisticated and risky clinical drug trials. And these opportunities are everywhere. You just have to know where to find them. In fact, if you simply bet against every single one in the stock market, then you'd be right approximately 80% of the time. But in reality, you can increase your odds to much higher than 80% when you focus on a small sub-sector of the drug market. The cancer vaccine I mentioned at the beginning of this letter is a perfect example. This class of drug has NEVER been approved by the FDA... ever. That's over 72 years of attempts by the drug companies and not one has made it through the regulatory and clinical gauntlet. And that's what our Ph.D.'s April 30th trade is all about... But first, how do we know the announcement will happen on this exact date? As I mentioned, on April 30th we expect this small company to announce the failed results of their new cancer vaccine... And the stock to crash... But how do we know when this announcement will take place? You see, our expert has spent the better part of the last decade working in academic institutions, as a contractor with the U.S. government, and with private firms. In each position, he worked closely with the Federal Agency behind these clinical drug trials. In short, because he knows the detailed inner-workings of the "clinical review process" and because he has a large "inner circle" of medical contacts and research avenues he is able to find out when these results will be announced, down to the day in most cases. Consider the case of Rigel Pharmaceuticals (RIGL)... This company's shares plunged on October 27th on the news that its drug for rheumatoid arthritis called R788 -- failed in clinical trials... How did our expert know to trade on that date beforehand? On Oct 21st a full 6 days before the trial results were announced our expert was able to obtain this statement from the company: "On October 27th from 2:00 3:00pm Pacific Time members of Rigel's senior management team will provide an update on the company's lead product candidate, R788..."That means that you could have known the exact day and time the announcement was to take place a full 6 days before it happened! ![]() Investors who capitalized on this information could have made over 1,345% as the stock crashed in just a few minutes time. Here, let me show you another example... On November 17th, shares of a company called United Therapeutics (UTHR) sank on the news that its hypertension drug, called "Remodulin," failed in clinical trials. Of course, our Ph.D. knows the dirty little secret of the medical establishment and that the trial would likely fail (remember, 80% of drugs in clinical trials fail)... But how did he know the November 17th announcement date? Because on October 30 a full 2 weeks before the failed drug trial our Ph.D. got this statement from the company: "We expect to announce the preliminary results of the [Remodulin] trial in mid-November."The chart below illustrates how you could have capitalized on this information: ![]() Investors who took advantage of this information could have made over 579% as the stock tumbled. Best of all, it would have only taken a few minutes to realize those gains. Here's another example... On December 11th, shares of Pain Therapeutics (PTIE) plunged on news that its experimental pain drug, Remoxy failed in clinical trials. Of course, our inside expert knew this was going to happen... weeks beforehand. On October 29th more than a full month before the announcement took place he was able to get in touch with the company and obtain this information: The FDA is expected to complete its review of the REMOXY NDA in December 2008."Not surprisingly, shares took a dive on December 11th, netting investors who took advantage of this opportunity 300% gains in a single day! ![]() Incredible, right? Most recently, our expert obtained the official announcement date for the company developing the prostate cancer vaccine. April 30th... just a few weeks from today. Let me tell you a little bit more about this opportunity... Our expert sees 3 main reasons this drug won't make it past the FDA: Reason #1 The clinical trials are severely flawed This new cancer treatment is specifically designed for patients in the early stages of prostate cancer. But here's the thing. FDA regulations don't allow early-stage cancer patients to even participate in clinical trials because there are BETTER treatments available! Amazing, right? That means the patients currently in the trial are all late-stage patients, and therefore too sick for the drug to work effectively. The trial results will come back negative. But don't take just our expert's word for it. A recent article in FDA Consumer Magazine an industry trade journal -- made this compelling point: "The best settings are for treating people who have minimal disease or a high risk of recurrence. But at this time, most [drugs in this class] are being studied in people who have failed other therapies." ~ Jeffrey Schlom, Ph.D.BusinessWeek said it like this: "It's nearly impossible to pinpoint the right patients for a drug [trial]... but the wrong patients cause the trial to fall short of it's goal, and the drug isn't approved"So as you can see, just getting the right trial patients is tough enough, but there are other problems... Reason #2 This drug has already failed an FDA trial. This new drug already failed a phase III clinical trial, the final step before government approval, in 2005. However, the drug was given another chance by the FDA. In other words, the proof would need to be so strong that the FDA would have to be willing to reverse its previous decision... and as you can imagine, that's just not going to happen. Reason # 3 The FDA has NEVER approved this type of drug before. Finally, the FDA, in its 72-year history, has never, ever approved a drug in this class. Considering the clinical trial flaws and past failures, our expert told us "I find it highly unlikely the FDA will approve this vaccine." In fact, we found and FDA publication that backed up this fact: Pub No. FDA 04-1338CWhat's more, the company developing this new drug is just a small $300 million company. This new treatment is the only drug with potential in its pipeline. A rejection by the FDA will bankrupt this small firm. And give investors with the right information a chance to triple their money in less than 30 days. So how can you take advantage of this situation right away? We think our expert's strategy is so powerful and so potentially life-altering that we want him share it with our readers on a regular basis. So... We inked a deal with him to give our readers access to all his upcoming "clinical trial" trades for at least the next 12 months. We call this investment research service, the S&A FDA Report. As an FDA Report member, you'll receive a list of potential plays the dates and ticker symbols of companies with upcoming clinical trial results announcements... just like the one's mentioned throughout this letter. Our expert calls it his "Crash List." Each month, he personally compiles a list of upcoming "clinical trial" announcements, using his knowledge of the "clinical review process" and his numerous "contacts" inside the medical community... ![]() Well, remember that if you bet on every single one you'll likely win 80% of the time. But that's not what FDA Report is all about.
For example, part of our expert's strategy revolves around a specific type of drug that fails in clinical trials 92% of the time. In fact, right now there are more treatments in the "drug review" pipeline for this disease, than any other. So, there will be plenty of opportunities to make money on this phenomenon over the next several months. He also knows about a very small, "niche" type of clinical trial where new drugs fail TWICE as often as in other trials. In fact, he'll be reporting on companies with drugs in these clinical trials as well. They don't happen very often, but when they do you could make a lot of money. In fact, there's another specific type of drug you can look for that even if it passes clinical trials, it's likely that the FDA won't give its final seal of approval. Don't forget, the FDA has NEVER before approved the type of drug involved in the April 30th decision. And we don't think they'll start now.The FDA Report will be focusing on these "high probability" events and so much more. Obviously, I can't get into the specifics of which drugs or clinical trials our expert will report on. We've paid handsomely to obtain his medical trade knowledge and to keep him exclusively ours. Therefore this information is for FDA Report readers only.

To see the best results, it is crucial that you get in as early as possible. The sooner you get in, the more money you're likely to make. P.P.S. We're offering a special discount to all FDA Report members who sign up before March 30th. See order form for complete details. P.P.P.S. Please feel free to check out the FDA Report's most frequently asked questions... Frequently Asked Questions: 1. I've been "burned" by biotech companies before. Is this strategy risky? If you try to pick which companies will find the next "medical breakthroughs," then yes, biotech trading can be VERY risky. Remember, 8 out of every 10 new drugs fail in clinical trials - so the odds are stacked heavily against you making money on these investments. However, using our expert's strategy you're simply betting that a new drug won't make it past clinical trials... a hard-nosed fact of the drug review process, which occurs approximately 80% of the time. You could compare this strategy to buying a lottery ticket, but the unique thing about it is that you get paid when your number DOESN'T come up. 2. Winning 80% of the time sounds too good to be true. Is this for real? Our expert has been working in the medical field for the past decade. So, not only has he seen firsthand evidence of the low "pass rate" of new drugs, but he's studied the empirical evidence too. For example, according to a 2008 Tufts University study (the foremost authority on drug and clinical trial research), 80% of new drugs NEVER make it past clinical trials. If you look at other sources, the numbers get even higher. A recent study conducted by The Scientist (one of the most respected peer-reviewed scientific journals), shows that over 90% of new drugs never make it past clinical trials. And, as incredible as it may sound, the numbers actually go up even more when you look at very specific types of drugs in clinical trials, which our expert follows exclusively in FDA Report. And remember the company we're recommending for the April 30th play has a drug in a class that has a 100% failure rate. 3. Do I have to know a lot about "biotech" to take advantage of these opportunities? Not at all. The great thing about the S&A FDA Report is that our expert will do all the work for you. He'll identify the next "clinical trial" announcement date -- and post it on his "Crash List". Then, all you have to do is mark the date and wait for his email. He'll tell you whether or not he recommends taking action on each date you've marked down, including exactly what to say to your broker if you want to get in on the action. You could just sit back and watch your investments go up. It couldn't be any easier. 4. How far in advance will you notify me of the clinical trial announcements? Once our expert acquires an upcoming announcement, he'll monitor the situation closely, waiting for all the essential elements to fall into place. When it does, he'll send you an email with specific instructions when and how to get in at the right price, how long to hold, and the likely gains you can expect to see. Each individual play will vary, but typically he'll notify you within a period of 7 -- 30 days before the announcement takes place. This will give you plenty of time to "take action" and see maximum gains. 5. Do I need experience trading options? If you don't want to use options, you can make money simply by shorting the expert's recommendations. This is the most conservative approach. Using this strategy, you can expect to see gains around 30% -- 60%. However, he will also show you how to use options to maximize these gains. Using this strategy, you can expect to increase those gains by a factor of five to ten. Remember, he'll tell you exactly what to say to your broker to make buying and selling options that much easier. 6. Does it matter what's happening in the stock market? These stocks are driven by the news of the their clinical trials. In other words, they're totally independent of what happening in markets. The stock market could be going up... down... or nowhere at all... and you could still make a fortune using our expert' strategy. 7. This research service seems expensive. Is it worth it? Actually, we think we may have under-priced this research service. Just recently, for example, you could have made more than twice the price of a one-year membership to FDA Report with a small $1,000 investment. The day before that, you could have seen almost the same exact gains. And a week before that, you could have made more than 5-times the price of a one-year membership, with yet another small $1,000 stake. Like I said, this research service is remarkably cheap compared to the gains we think you'll see in the coming weeks. It all starts on April 30th with our experts next hand-picked recommendation. 8. What if I decide this is not for me? Is there a money-back guarantee? Absolutely. We've made this offer as easy and worry-free as possible. You'll have 90 days to decide whether our expert's research is right for you. If for whatever reason you want to cancel your subscription in the first ninety days, just let us know. We'll give you a full refund. It's that simple. Go ahead and give it a try now. |
