The Most Dangerous 1,400%+
You'll Ever See?
Dear Reader,
We have recently uncovered what is perhaps the most exciting stock market opportunity in the history of our business.
It is no exaggeration to say that it could return 1,400% over the next few years. Yes, I realize that is an outrageous claim.
But when I show you the facts behind this incredible situation, I think you will ultimately agree with me that there is simply no other opportunity like this in the world today. In fact, nothing even comes close.
Let me explain...
Now normally, I wouldn't touch any investment having anything to do with Iraq.
Whether or not you agree with the politics of the war, there can be no denying that it remains one of the most dangerous places on earth... a virtual hell hole of insurgents, bombings, and guerilla warfare.
However, thanks to a source of mine – one of the world's most successful speculative investors – I've learned of a tremendous moneymaking opportunity that is about to unfold in Iraq.
Honestly, I can't say exactly how much or how soon you could profit from this situation. But I am EXTREMELY confident it will make some people A LOT of money... and soon.
What I would like to do in this report is simply lay out the facts.
As you will see, the facts speak for themselves. There is absolutely no need for "hype" or spin.
After I show you the facts, you can judge for yourself whether or not you want to be involved in this opportunity... and what type of return you think is realistic.
It's very important to note: This situation is DEFINITELY not for everyone. It is dangerous, and there are risks... big-time, which you must consider. This is a very controversial situation, as well.
But of course, that's where the big money has always been made—where most investors perceive large risks and controversy.
So let me get right to it...
Here are the 8 most pertinent facts about this incredible situation, as I see them:
FACT #1: After being closed to investors for roughly the past 36 years, the greatest investment prize of the 21st century is finally opening up to American investors.
I'm talking about Iraq—the most promising unexplored oil reserve in the world.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Zagros Mountain region is poised to become the world capital of oil production. This area - located along Iraq's eastern border with Iran - contains the largest concentration of "giant" and "super-giant" (greater than 1 billion and 5 billion barrels, respectively) oil fields in the world and accounts for 70% to 80% of the country's proven reserves.
Today, Iraq is officially credited with about 115 billion barrels of proven reserves, the third-largest deposit in the world. As remarkable as that sounds, consider this: That analysis is almost 10 years old and based on 30-year-old data. A recent review of data by consultants for the Iraqi government indicates another 45 billion to 100 billion barrels exist under the western and southern deserts. That would push Iraq's reserves past 215 billion barrels – making it second only to Saudi Arabia.
Geological surveys and seismic data recently conducted by international-oil companies put this figure even higher at around 350 to 400 billion barrels of oil. At an average value of $100 a barrel, that would make Iraq's reserves worth an estimated $30 trillion.
That's recoverable oil, not gross. So unlike other regions of the world that only yield about 1% of their resources, these "elephants" are real.
FACT #2: The economics of Iraqi oil are incredible.
In short, this is by far the best place in the world right now to be in the oil business. Developing an oil field in Iraq will cost 90% less than what would be spent in the United States.
In addition, it's cheaper for companies to produce a barrel of oil in Iraq than it is anywhere else in the world... costing between $1.50 and $2.25 a barrel. In other oil rich nations like Malaysia, Venezuela, and Canada, it costs companies $5, $7 and $20 to produce a single barrel of oil, respectively.
Iraq's oil isn't hard to find either. "Oil is literally bubbling to the surface," according to The Wall Street Journal. And the vast majority of these giant fields have NEVER been touched by modern technology. Keep in mind: Only 2,000 wells have ever been drilled in Iraq. We drilled over 5,000 wells in the U.S. last year alone. In addition, there are 526 prospective drilling sites in Iraq today and just 30 of them have been partially developed.
In other words: This is virgin territory.
FACT #3: The profit potential of getting in early in Iraq is enormous. For example, in the Kurdish region of Iraq the autonomous gov't there has already signed partnership agreements with more than 20 foreign firms, many of which have seen huge gains:
| • | WesternZagros Resources Ltd, for example, an international natural resources company that has been operating in this region since 2003, has seen its share price rally 357% in the past four months. |
| • | India's Reliance Industries, which signed a contract with the Kurdish gov't in 2007 for two oil fields, has seen its stock rise by over 800%. |
| • | And Hungary's MOL Group, which is now drilling for natural gas in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, saw its shares shoot up 400% between 2003 and 2008. |
FACT #4: It's no exaggeration that things are happening VERY quickly in Iraq.
On July 1, 2009, just one day after U.S. forces withdrew from Iraqi cities and towns in accordance with a UN mandate, the Iraqi gov't began issuing its first round of oil contracts to western companies. These contracts were for six of Iraq's biggest oil fields and two natural gas fields.
According to The Wall Street Journal these fields hold over "43 billion barrels of oil." That's more than twice the amount of oil that remains in the U.S. And in Dec. '09, a second round of contracts will be issued for an additional 11 oilfields in Iraq that hold a combined 51 billion barrels of oil.
Together that's nearly 100 billion barrels of oil the Iraqi gov't is leasing out to companies within the next six months. As senior petroleum analyst Manouchehr Takin recently states: "Iraq is a jewel for the international oil companies and always has been."
FACT #5: The risks in Iraq are all political, not technical.
Finding the oil and getting it out of the country is a simple engineering feat. The ground is literally bursting with oil. But the political risks are obvious. In the investment world, political risks are often exaggerated... while technical risks are too easily dismissed. I'd rather take the political risks-especially when the U.S. government has spent nearly $1 trillion on the war in Iraq to make this "investment" work. The political instability cannot keep this oil in the ground for long. And as this opens up... investors will be poised to make an absolute killing. The time to invest is now, while there are still perceived risks out there, which is keeping prices low.
FACT #6: Despite the risks in Iraq, investors are pouring money into this region.
Here's a recent excerpt from Newsweek describing the situation in Iraq:
"More than 50 industrial operations have reopened, thousands of small to medium-size companies have been awarded government contracts, 200 private bank branches have been automated... U.S. efforts, since the summer of 2006, have restored 100,000 jobs, and it's estimated that hundreds of-thousands more have been created."Meanwhile, over 35 major oil companies are now lined up at Iraq's doorstep. ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, British Petroleum, and Royal Dutch Shell are all in line. Iraqi oil minister Isam al-Chalabi says, "International oil companies are killing themselves to sign contracts."
Investing in these giant companies, however, will provide at best a small return. Despite its enormous size and potential, Iraq remains just a small portion of these companies' overall businesses.
FACT #7: The best way to make a lot of money here is to identify the small companies that have the potential to skyrocket with the success of their local Iraqi operations.
Why small companies? Because when small companies win big oil contracts they have the most potential for huge gains.
In just the past 3 months, small oil exploration and production companies like Caddo International, Holloman Energy Corp., Galaxy Energy Corp., Black Dragon Resource, Frontier Energy Corp., Tekoil & Gas Corp and Strata Oil & Gas Inc., have seen gains of 1,400%, 766%, 400%, 354%, 328%, 300%, and 293%, respectively.
Keep in mind, however: Because of these risks, the small, public oil companies at work in Iraq are highly volatile. And most trade either on the London Stock Exchange or the Toronto Exchange.
But owning several of these companies is probably the most realistic way to potentially earn 10-times your initial investment over the next few years.
FACT #8: Right now, we believe there are two ideal ways to play Iraq's oil boom.
One involves a backdoor way to own an equity stake in a private company that recently finalized a deal with the local oil ministry. This deal could essentially give this private company a near monopoly on providing services to oil companies throughout the entire country.
This is an incredible opportunity, because in one month, there will likely be 100 companies drilling for oil in Iraq. Some will drill holes that flood the streets with oil. Others will drill holes with nothing but sand at the bottom. Either way, they're all essentially going to be paying this tiny company.
The second way to make big money in Iraq is to invest early in the companies that find the biggest fields. Of course, trying to guess which company will hit pay dirt is typically a sucker's bet.
But there is one unique situation we have uncovered—a small company that has been operating in Iraq for almost 4 years, which is already sitting on an estimated 2 BILLION barrel discovery. This is probably the lowest risk way to potentially make a lot of money in Iraq over the next few years.
One thing you must keep in mind here: Investing in Iraq is a speculative opportunity, to say the least. Please do not even consider it with money you cannot afford to lose.
While we are more excited about these opportunities than anything else in the world right now, you must be prudent and consider seriously whether or not this type of investing is right for you.
These stocks could swing up and down 50% or more in a single day. Of course, over the next few years, I expect we could make many times our initial investment.
However the risks are undeniable. And these investments are not for the faint of heart.
But as energy expert and author Rob Mobed says: “There isn't anywhere like this. Geologically, it's right up there, a gold start opportunity.”
Here's the full story...
For generations, the world has known Iraq virtually floats on a sea of oil.
Geologists confirmed the existence of oil in Iraq in 1925, when a joint group representing French, British, and American companies explored the region. One of the geologists wrote home to say no region in the world held greater promise – his words proved prophetic.
As Daniel Yergin describes in his definitive history of the oil industry, The Prize, the first well drilled there, the Baba Gugur-1, erupted with oil when the drill bit reached just 1,500 feet below the surface. In geologic terms, 1,500 feet literally just scratches the surface. Still, the force of the oil blew out the well and catapulted rocks 50 feet into the air over the top of the derrick.
Drill crews needed eight days to cap the well, but not before an astonishing 760,000 barrels of petroleum washed across the region. It took 700 tribesmen building dikes to save the town of Kirkuk from the flood of oil.
Yergin got the name for his outstanding book from a geologist's claim many years ago that Middle Eastern oil is "the single greatest prize in all history." Saudi Arabia has been the most productive area of this region for decades. But now the wealth there is in the hands of a small group of royals.
That's why I believe Iraq is the single greatest prize of the 21st century.
In fact, I'm convinced new exploration in Iraq will produce more super-giant fields than anywhere else in the world. The relatively unexplored western desert shares the same geology as Saudi Arabia. One of the few wells drilled in the western desert, the Akkas field, gushed oil in 2007 just like its super-giant cousins.
It seems almost unbelievable Iraq's oil would be so underdeveloped at a time in history when demand is so high. But in fact, most of that oil sits untouched in the ground. Decades of international sanctions, war, and plain old neglect have crippled Iraq's oil industry.
The country has the lowest production-to-reserves ratio in the world, but that's changing right now...
The recent history of Iraq should be familiar to most Americans.
The late dictator Saddam Hussein engineered years upon years of ceaseless war – first with Iran, then Kuwait, and finally twice with the U.S. – which sapped the nation's treasury and undermined the oil industry. When he had to decide between buying a tank and repairing a pipeline, Saddam bought the tank.
Ultimately, Saddam's belligerence led to international sanctions that curtailed the country's ability to sell its oil to the world... all but killing the local petroleum industry.
When the U.S. finally toppled Hussein in 2003, the pieces of Iraq's oil infrastructure that weren't destroyed by bombs or sabotage were looted for parts. Oil production fell to just 1 million barrels per day by September 2003, a 64% decline in just six months.
So while Iraq's neighbors, notably Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, have built expansive, modern exploration and production networks, Iraq's petroleum infrastructure is broken, archaic, and abandoned.
And yet, through the 1990s and 2000s, the world's oil industry eyed the Iraqi fields like vultures circling a wounded buffalo. The industry knew eventually the current regime would end and with it the stifling sanctions.
Then, it would be free to chase Iraq's oil wealth...
As I said, Iraq today probably holds about 215 billion barrels of reserves, behind only Saudi Arabia's 267 billion-barrel reserves. And according to the Oil and Gas Journal, Iraq has 410 billion barrels of oil resources, again second only to Saudi Arabia's 471 billion barrels. (If you're unfamiliar with the terms, resources and reserves are different. Resources are essentially an estimate. Reserves are a more rigorously analyzed calculation.)
The big difference between the two countries is production...
Saudi Arabia churns out 10 million barrels per day. Iraq struggles to produce 2.2 million barrels a day (and that's down from the 3.45 million it produced in July 1990, a month before it invaded Kuwait and initiated the first Persian Gulf war with the U.S.).
In fact, because of the sanctions' thwarted development of Iraq's petroleum infrastructure for so long, the country still holds 92% of its reserves, compared to Saudi Arabia, which now has about 78% of its historic reserves.
That Iraq produces anything at all despite the woeful neglect of its resources and infrastructure is a testament to just how colossal its oil deposits are.
Iraq's oil fields are so large the country can sustain current production from just a few wells exploiting a handful of fields. Only 15 of Iraq's 80 known fields are developed. And fewer than half of those (seven) account for 66% of the country's total reserves.
All the wars and political sanctions left Iraq's oil industry in shambles. No one had any money or reason to develop new fields – they could pump plenty of oil on the few developed fields already producing.
Today, it's a different story...
The country needs cash to rebuild its society. Getting oil flowing again will help pay for electrical infrastructure, improved water supplies, health care, and education. The government needs to bring in expertise quickly, but with so much oil available, it shouldn't be difficult.
Companies want to come to Iraq because the economics are the best in the world.
As I said earlier, total finding and development (F&D) costs in Iraq are just $1.50 to $2.25 per barrel. Quite simply, that means developing an oil field in Iraq will cost you just 10¢ for every dollar you'd spend in the U.S.
The economics of the oil are only half the story.
The other half comes from development of the infrastructure.
At its peak Iraq's oil production was at around 3.5 million barrels per day. Tariq Sharfiq, Director of Oil with the consulting firm Petrolog and Associates, believes production will ramp up to match Saudi Arabia's 10 million barrels per day over the next decade.
As a milepost on the way to 10 million barrels a day, the Iraq government has set a short-term goal of producing 6 million barrels per day by 2013. That's an aggressive goal, but a simple one to achieve – all it takes is cash. The Center for Global Oil Studies in London estimates Iraq must spend about $43 billion to achieve that goal.
That's why companies are flocking to Iraq.
It is the single-best place to grow an oil company – petroleum literally seeps out of the ground, you simply need to engineer the most efficient way to collect it.Companies that successfully land contracts in Iraq can expect to grow at least 1,400% over the next decade. We just need to figure out which ones will land the right contracts...
The trick to investing in Iraq is finding a strong, well-managed company that is putting all (or most) of its chips there.
You see, tons of oil industry players have descended on Iraq since the U.S. booted Saddam in 2003, but most are either monolithic super-majors or shaky (sometimes shady) startups...
It's not easy to find a pure play investment in Iraq right now whose risk is worth the reward.
Take for example, Foster Wheeler. It's one of the oldest and most experienced petroleum-engineering firms in the world. It has 70 years of design and construction experience in refining, 60 years in petrochemical work, and nearly 80 years in the Middle East.
The company first worked in Iraq in the 1930s at the giant Baba Gurgur/Kirkuk field. It engineered some of the most difficult feats in the world, like the world's longest sour-crude pipeline (sour oil is highly corrosive due to high sulfur content) and the world's longest underwater multiphase pipeline.
The company has two contracts in Iraq right now – a $128 million deal to draw the plans for an oil refinery in southern Iraq and another multimillion-dollar deal to design a massive 4.5 million barrel-per-day oil export facility near in Southern Iraq.
Sounds great.
But remember, Foster Wheeler is a $3 billion behemoth. Its work in Iraq will cause barely a ripple in the company's global revenues. The company's early work in Iraq will likely generate more and more opportunities there down the road. I'd be shocked if Foster Wheeler didn't get one billion dollars worth... but that could be in 2010 or 2011. We're going to keep an eye on Foster Wheeler, but it's a little too early to buy it for its Iraq work.
As for investing in the super-majors as an Iraq play, we need to hold off for now.
The major oil companies are lined up at Iraq's doorstep like football fans outside a beer stand at halftime. It's all the usual suspects: ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, British Petroleum, and Royal Dutch Shell – companies with nearly a century of history in Iraq. However, this time there are some giant newcomers.
China's national oil companies – Sinopec, Sinochem, and China National Offshore Oil Corp. – will be part of the bidding process. India's national oil company, ONGC, and Petrobras, the Brazilian national company, will also bid. These newcomers shook up the ranks of the majors and forged some interesting alliances.
On July 1st, 2009 one of these alliances, a consortium led by BP and includes China's CMPC, won a contract for Iraq's largest oil field – the Rumalia oil field which is estimated to have reserves of 17 billion barrels.
That's the super-major side of the picture.
The way we recommend you invest in this space instead is to concentrate on the smaller start-ups, which have nearly all of their business in Iraq... and could go up 1,400% as this situation develops.
To speculate in these all-or-nothing propositions, you must know exactly where you're putting your money and mitigate your risk.
Right now, there are two ideal ways to play the Iraq oil boom... Let me explain...
Double Your Money
My top recommendation in Iraq is a company that will, in all likelihood, soon have a near monopoly on servicing Iraq's oil wells for the next decade, and beyond.
This situation is very speculative and there is significant risk involved.
First, here are a few things you should know about this company:
| • | Earlier this year, they began negotiating a landmark $400 million joint venture contract with the Iraqi government, beating out bids from some of the world's biggest oil companies including BP, ExxonMobil and EDP. |
| • | This company's contract is the first a Western firm has signed with the Iraqi gov't since the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003. |
| • | Under this contract, the company will potentially be one of three companies in the entire country who will be acting as a service provider to foreign oil drillers. In other words, every time a new oil company comes into Iraq to drill wells, they'll need this company's equipment and expertise to get the job done. |
| • | And most importantly, this firm has actually partnered with The Iraqi Oil Ministry to form a quasi-government organization. |
What this means is, this new company will have sole service contracts for all the new companies that win exploration contracts in the future. Read that again... this small company will have part of a near monopoly for providing companies with the equipment they need to drill the world's largest collection of untapped, billion-plus barrel oilfields.
But let me be clear: This contract with the government is still pending. No work has yet begun. There is no guarantee that it will go through. We're talking about Iraq, a place that is only just starting to do business with the modern world. I believe we will have our answers very quickly, but until then, we'll just have to be patient.
But if this deal does go through, as we expect, you'll likely make 100% overnight.
Remember, this tiny company isn't exploring for oil. Its job is to supply the equipment for the companies who are.
With over 35 companies now bidding and landing deals in Iraq and an additional 120 companies now showing interest, this tiny company is likely to see a ton of business in the near future.
Remember, Iraq desperately needs cash to rebuild its country. And oil is its biggest asset.
The goal of the Iraqi gov't is to match Saudi Arabia's oil production rate of 10 million barrels per day over the next decade.
But in order to get there, Iraq is going to be drilling thousands and thousands of oil wells at a breakneck pace. Approximately 2,000 new wells must to be drilled in Iraq by the end of this year alone. This will be one of the most lucrative segments in the Iraqi oil industry because the wells must be drilled.
My most conservative estimate is a 220% gain over today's market value.
Remember: A hundred companies may be looking for oil in Iraq by next month. Some will drill holes that flood the streets with oil. Others will drill holes with nothing but sand at the bottom. Either way, they're all going to need an experienced company to provide them with the equipment and services for the job. We're going to put our money with the company that holds a near monopoly on providing what is probably the most important and valuable service to oil companies in Iraq.
There is one catch however...
The company I'm recommending you buy is a private firm. It is not traded on the American stock markets.
But through one of my contacts in the industry, I have found a way to invest in this company via the stock market.
Best of all... it will cost you less than $1 per share.
In the coming months, I believe this company will be amongst the most sought after in Iraq and we can now buy its shares for dirt-cheap.
This brings me to the second way to I recommend playing this opportunity...
In Northern Iraq
Many oil companies are trying to get into Iraq today, but only a few actually had the guts to set up shop there in 2003 prior to the U.S. invasion.
And one of these companies, which arrived that year, is an independent oil explorer that is now sitting on the largest oil find to date in the Kurdish region of Iraq.
According to official estimates this field holds 2.3 billion to 4.2 billion barrels of oil.
In an effort to fast-track development, this company is even merging with a private oil company to start production within the next five months.
Big discoveries like these have translated quickly into big gains for oil and gas companies:
| • | InterOil (IOC), a small Canadian oil producer recently discovered one of the biggest natural gas wells ever found in the South Asian country of Papua New Guinea. The stock has shot up 202% since Oct. '08. |
| • | BG Group (BG.L), a UK-based oil and gas explorer, discovered an 8 billion barrel oil field in Brazil, which in Nov. 2008 was touted as the "discovery of the decade," according to Time Online. The stock has rallied 263% in the past 5 years. |
| • | Tullow Oil (TLW.L), a London-based oil and gas explorer who has found wells throughout some of the most dangerous regions in the world including Ghana, Uganda, Mauritania, Congo, Pakistan and Suriname, has seen its share price rise 1,300% since 2003. |
And right now, this tiny company sitting on a huge discovery in northern Iraq is ridiculously cheap.
Consider that if this company were valued using similar metrics to the big oil companies in North America, it would be worth $40 billion... nearly 20-times this company's market cap.
And this first giant discovery is just the beginning.
This very savvy company also owns parts of six other oil fields in Iraq, two of which are already in production. Together, these fields could hold over 6.2 billion barrels of oil.
The point is, we don't have to try to guess WHICH company is going to own the first big new oil field in Iraq. It's already been decided... and we can take full advantage of the situation with a tiny penny stock today.
With Iraq now moving towards its production goals, I expect this company's shares could move much higher... at least 200% in the next few years.
This company is clearly head and shoulders above the rest of the players in Iraq.
Let me show you how you can take advantage of this situation, if you are interested...
My name is Brian Hunt. I'm the Editor in Chief of Stansberry & Assoc. Investment Research.
About two months ago, I met in person with our top geological expert, Matt Badiali, at a private retreat on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
When Matt told me what he had found about Iraq, I encouraged him to drop everything else he was working on, and pursue this opportunity with all of our resources.
And for basically the past few months, that's exactly what Matt's been doing.
In May, Matt wrote what is probably the best investment newsletter I've seen all year, for his Resource Report subscribers, about the Iraqi oil opportunity.
His top recommendation was a company called Addax Petroleum.
Addax is a Canadian oil company with operations primarily in Africa and the Middle East.
In 2005, Addax signed a contract with the Iraq government when the country was still in the midst of war and heavy sectarian violence.
The contract was for a colossal oil deposit in northern Iraq known as the Taq Taq Field, which is actually one of the only fields in Iraq currently producing oil.
Due to its head start, Addax now owns a 45% stake in this field, which geologists believe contains nearly 3 billion barrels of oil, of which nearly 40% is recoverable.
Every day, the Taq Taq field generates about 30,000 barrels of oil, and at peak production begins it will add 84,000 barrels per day.
But we weren't the only group to notice Addax's huge potential... One month after Matt's recommendation, Chinese oil giant Sinopec and the Korean National Oil Company started a bidding war for the company.
On June 24, Sinopec won the bid and agreed to buy Addax for around $7.24 billion.
As a result of the buyout, Matt's readers saw a 46% gain in just over a month.
But while Addax and several of the other companies Matt found are great investments, probably the two best opportunities we found in Iraq come in the form of tiny penny stocks.
The bad news is, these stocks are far too small to recommend to a wide audience in Matt's Resource Report letter. Publishing the details on these companies there would not do anyone any good, because the wide readership would simply drive up the price, and no one would be able to get a good deal.
The good news is, these stocks present a perfect opportunity for just a small group of sophisticated investors, who want to take advantage of this situation.
And here's how we're going to ensure, as best we can, that every reader who takes advantage of this situation will get a great deal...
We've recently compiled an in-depth research report covering the situation in Iraq.
It's called: The Treasure of Baba Gurgur.
Inside, we reveal the two tiny opportunities I've just told you about, which we believe you can place a small sum of money into and potentially double your money before the end of this year... with much, much more to come in the months beyond.
But because these stocks are so small, we cannot disclose this information to a large group of readers. It would ruin the deal for everyone.
This is why we're only offering this report exclusively to subscribers of our PHASE 1 INVESTOR.
Simply put, Phase 1 subscribers make up less than 1% of our total subscriber file... they demand nothing less than the highest quality analysis and recommendations... and they understand the value of information like this.
But I should warn you: Access to one full year of Phase 1 research doesn't come cheap.
The only realistic way I know of to ensure this information stays as quiet as possible is to keep the price high. That way, only our most serious readers can get involved in these kinds of speculative plays.
Of course, we understand the idea of investing in Iraq may sound crazy, perhaps even too audacious an investment for most of our readers to consider.
But we believe this is the one of the most exciting investment we've ever discovered, which is why we're offering you the chance to take advantage of the situation, and at the same time joinreceive our Phase 1 research at a near 50% discount to its current price.
Let me explain...
Typically in Phase 1 we focus on small biotech stocks. That's because biotech offers the potential for extremely large gains.
Look at the track records of our analysts over the years and you'll see that almost all of our really big winners come from the biotech arena:
Elan Pharmaceuticals......207% GAINBut once in while, we like to venture from the biotech sector for Phase 1 recommendations and share some of the best research done by S&A analysts on speculative stocks with blockbuster potential.
Sangamo........................161% GAIN
Sirna Therapeutics.........203% GAIN
Celgene......................... 233% GAIN
ID Biomedical...............331% GAIN
Neurocine......................100% GAIN
Denderon.......................109% GAIN
And recently, as I've been describing above, I asked our resident geologist and commodities expert Matt Badiali to share his research on the lucrative oil deals now being signed in Iraq.
Matt has done more research on this situation in Iraq than anyone else I know. And he has a great track record of doing this type of work...
With a Masters of Science (M.S.C) in geology and more than 13 years of industry and research experience, Matt has successfully found opportunities in the oil and commodities sector that have show his readers gains of 100%, 117%, 195%, and 239%.
| • | In 2006, for example, he uncovered a small company that owned the largest collection of in–the–ground silver resources on earth. Matt recommended the stock and his readers saw 93% in 12 months. |
| • | A few years before that, Matt found a little–known copper company with a mine that had the longest remaining mine life of any major open–pit copper mine in the world. The stock shot up for a 142% gain. |
| • | That same year, Matt found a tremendous opportunity in China's mining sector that involved a tiny gold explorer who got into the country right after it lifted its 50 year ban on foreign companies. The company shot up 73% in just 6 months. |
But the situation Matt has uncovered in Iraq is probably the best work he's ever done. Already, his first recommendation in the region has helped readers make 46% gains in just over one month.
|
But before you decide to take advantage of this situation, and take a Phase 1 subscription, you need to be aware of 3 things regarding this deal...
1. We CANNOT guarantee how much money you will make with this opportunity.Phase 1 is designed for a very small group of aggressive – but prudent – individuals who want to see serious gains.
The typical subscriber has already had a good deal of investment success. And they are willing to pay a bit more money to access the speculative opportunities we cover in Phase 1.
|
Most people look at Iraq's instability and think investing money there is crazy.
But that's exactly why this opportunity has so much potential. When everyone thinks this is a good idea, it will be time for us to sell.
By then, we will have made many times our money.
You see, what most people don't realize is that you can make a killing by investing in war-torn areas... after the worst of the situation is over.
Just consider...
Few places in the world have looked as bleak as Japan, after World War II. The country was basically destroyed. Cities were devastated along with the country's industries and transportation networks. The very idea of investing in Japan seemed ridiculous. Yet those who claimed an early stake and invested in Japan's market, "made a fortune" according to economist and author Barton Biggs. Did you know that in the 40 years beginning in 1950, incomes in Japan rose 5,000%... and land prices increased 33,000%!The point is, the biggest gains go to investors who understand the benefit of taking certain risks and go against the grain.
And right now we have a rare chance to claim a stake in Iraq's biggest oil fields for cheap and make spectacular returns in the coming months. And the truth is, we believe the risks in this investment today are just a tiny fraction of what they were in Japan 60 years ago.
2. We CANNOT guarantee the stock price.If you decide to join our Phase 1 group, you'll get instant access to our newest report , which details the two investment opportunities I've told you about today.
But keep in mind, the stocks in this report are small and we cannot guarantee that you'll be able to buy them at our "buy-up-to" price.
That is why we are monitoring these stocks closely. As soon as their share price move up pass our “buy-up-to” price, we'll cut this offer off entirely. And then, you will not be able to get in at any price.
It could be in the next 2 to 3 days, or a week. We honestly don't know.
Of course, the whole reason we're limiting this information to just a few readers is because we want to do everything possible so that paid Phase 1 subscribers get the chance to get in on these stocks at a good price. But again, we simply cannot make any promises.
These stocks are thinly traded, and if people overpay or buy too large a position, the price may run up beyond a price at which we feel comfortable making a recommendation.
That's the risk you take with these kinds of tiny recommendations, but I think it's a risk worth taking, considering the potential gains.
3. Lastly, we CANNOT offer our traditional unconditional guarantee.These stocks are so small we simply can't afford to have folks sign up, get all the details of this recommendation, and then get a full refund.
Remember, we're offering you the chance to join Phase 1 – the most high-risk yet potentially rewarding investment advisory for our most serious subscribers - at a near 50% discount. We simply cannot afford to extend this offer for long.
Therefore, each Phase 1 subscription is final. In other words, as soon as you have made your payment, there can be no refunds. That's one of the reasons we have decided to offer such a dramatic discount.
I realize this is not the way we typically do business, but then again, this is a very unusual opportunity, in a very risky part of the world.
Bottom line: We can't guarantee anything about this opportunity, except for the facts outlined in this letter.
And of course, with a one-year subscription, you'll also receive 10-12 additional Phase 1 recommendations over the next year.
Is this type of research right for you?
You'll have to judge for yourself.
But you should know that Phase 1 is different from everything else we do here at S&A Research.
In fact, the kind of investing we write about in Phase 1 is not for most people. And honestly, that's why it has the potential to be so successful.

Of course, these risks and uncertainties are what give us the potential for such incredible gains, in a very short period.
These are the kinds of investments that could potentially turn a $10,000 stake into $100,000 or more. You just have to know about the RIGHT company at the RIGHT time... with help from the experts directly involved.
That's exactly what we have with this month's picks... and what we try to offer Phase 1 readers every single month.
If you think Phase 1 could be right for you, I encourage you to sign up right away.
We're only offering you this near 50% discount for a very limited time. Again, it could be a week or so. It could be just a few days.
Here's how to take advantage of the situation...
|
1. This is among the most expensive research we do at S&A. Its costs are quite extensive per year to produce (including overhead, travel expenses, and subscriptions to financial services).Right now, you'll pay just $2,600. That's a near 50% discount to the current price.
2. Because we focus on tiny, tiny companies – with the potential for 500% to 2,000% gains – the $5,000 price ensures that only the most serious-minded individuals are reaping the rewards. This is the price many subscribers have paid.

We are NOT offering our typical unconditional refund.
We simply cannot allow people to sign up for our most expensive advisory at nearly half-off, then refund, and get the details of this opportunity for free.
This opportunity is too small... and the potential profits are simply too high. We've put in too much work to research and analyze this situation to let a few dozen people take advantage of our refund policy.
So if our NO REFUND policy makes you uncomfortable, please do not take us up on this offer.. .
However, if you're serious about the type of research we do in Phase 1 Investor...
1. Enter your name, e-mail address, and full payment details by clicking on the order form linked at the end of this letter.Why are we making this such an exclusive offer?
2. As a Phase 1 subscriber, you will receive exclusive access to our report: The Treasure of Baba Gurgur. This report includes all of the details on the two companies we believe could make the most money in Iraq over the next few years.
Also, as a Phase 1 subscriber, you will be invited to take part in a special conference call to be aired in the coming weeks. On this call we'll be interviewing Matt Badiali, and one of our top contacts in the industry. As soon as we have the details we will email them to you.
3. By signing up for this unique opportunity right now, you'll pay $2,600 for a 12-month subscription to Phase 1 Investor. That's a near 50% discount to the current price. Remember, there are no refunds.
Put simply, this speculation in Iraq is different from anything we've seen before. Already companies who've gotten a head start in Iraq, have seen huge gains in the past year:
-Talisman Energy (up 128% since Dec. '08)And these are just a few examples.
-Groundstar Resources (up 228% since April '09)
-Dana Gas (up 125% since Jan. '08)
-Norway's DNO (up 180% since Nov. '08)
-Austria's OMV AG (up 72% since Jan.'09)
The point is, if you want to make incredible gains in the markets right now, you aren't going to be doing it by investing in big oil companies like Shell or BP.
And you certainly aren't going to do it by following the mainstream news. I believe we are going to make an absolute fortune from this opportunity over the next few years.
I believe the small group of people who get in early... and at the right price... could see this play soar hundreds of percent over the next few months. I hope you are there to join us.
And as we've seen with similar discoveries, stock spikes of 1,500%... 5,000%... and even 10,000% are not out of the realm of possibility. But please remember, these stocks are speculations. The political environment in Iraq remains volatile (to say the least). Make no mistake; it remains a violent, fractious country. Should the progress toward stability falter, that could jeopardize our investments.
But the value of its reserves are overwhelming. I don't believe political instability can keep the oil in the ground forever. Once the petroleum industry there cranks up, these stocks could rocket to triple-digit returns.
