You probably know how regular annuities work. You invest a lump sum... and then watch your returns trickle out to you in the years that follow. At most right now, you'll be lucky to get 7% per year. But few Americans know about what is probably the best retirement investment in the world... It's like an annuity backed by gold. In short, the way these investments work is simple:Like ordinary annuities these "Gold-Backed Annuity" companies require you to make an initial investment. But that is where the similarities end... You see, instead of trickling out miniscule returns of 7% a year, "Gold-Backed Annuity" companies have a track record of absolutely enormous gains... In fact, the Canadian "annuity" investment I'm going to tell you about could have returned an astonishing 32,000% over an 18 year period... meaning an initial investment of just $5,000 could have paid you $1.6 million! And while the stock market got crushed last year, one of these American "annuity" companies based in Denver returned an incredible 65% to equity holders. (Over the past decade, this same "annuity" company has returned a whopping 744%.) It's no surprise, of course, that people in the know are rushing to this investment... and are getting paid a lot of money as a result...
But gold bullion is hard to purchase and store. And gold mining companies are inherently risky. That's why we were so excited to find these unique companies, which function like annuities, backed by contractual obligations in the gold market. I think this could be, hands down, the single best investment for your retirement. Let me show you how it works so you can see if it makes sense for you... Investment in America To show you how powerful and affective this investment is, I'd like to demonstrate how this investment compares to stocks, bonds, and ordinary annuities. 10-Year Historical Returns- Over the last 10 years U.S. Treasury bonds (5-year maturity) averaged returns of 4.36% (currently the bonds are only paying 2.43%). The stock market fared even worse, returning an average of only 0.61%. Right now, if you were to buy a CD-type annuity, rates in some places are averaging just 3.5% 4.36%... 0.61%... 3.5%... How in the world is anyone expected to have a comfortable retirement from those rates of return? Well, that's why I want to introduce you to the "gold-backed annuity" companies. Over the last 10–years one of these "Gold-Backed Annuity" companies had a return of 744%... that's a growth of 23% a year. Another "annuity" company had returns of 79% in just the last two years... even though the rest of the market was getting slaughtered. Safety- "Gold-Backed Annuity" companies are some of the safest investments in the world. Last year, during the terrible recession, one of these incredible investments returned 65%. As one of these "gold-backed annuity" companies reports on it's website, this opportunity: "provides investors with a unique opportunity to capture value in the precious metals sector without incurring many of the risks associated with mine operations such as capital costs, operating costs, and environmental liabilities."As financial expert Oliver Tannen recently added... "Investing in ["Gold-Backed Annuity"] companies is a low risk approach and I would especially recommend considering these kinds of stocks to those of you near retirement. As a general rule, the older you are, the less risky your assets should be. ["Gold-Backed Annuity"] companies are the best choice for conservative investors."Inflation- There is no hiding the fact that the government has been spending money like mad. And when the government keeps the printing presses on, inflation is right around the corner. What's the best hedge against inflation? Gold of course. Over the next several years as the value of the dollar plummets, people who invest in "Gold-Backed Annuity" companies could see incredible returns. In fact, remember the inflation of the 1970's? Gold increased by more than 2,000%. Since 2003, gold has already increased 260% and we haven't even begun to see inflation take off yet. As one of the countries top precious metal firms noted... "Since the end of World War II, the five years in which U.S. inflation was at it's highest were 1946, 1974, 1975, 1979, and 1980. During those five years, the average real return on stocks, as measured by the Dow, was -12.33%; the average real return on gold was 130.4%."As the price of gold is poised to skyrocket due to inflation, your payments could increase as well... unlike a traditional annuity where you're stuck with the same low payment every month. Buy and Sell With ZERO Fees- Did you know that if you try to withdrawal your money from an annuity before age 59 ½, you get slapped with a 10% penalty? And that's just for taking an early withdrawal. It's even worse if you want to get back all of your money. Here's what Walter Updegrave, a senior editor for Money Magazine and author of "How to Retire Rich in a Totally Changed World" has to say... "Few investments can match annuities when it comes to confusing fees. Variable annuities, for example, have three layers of annual costs - insurance charges, investment fees and the cost of guarantees and riders - that can easily total 2% to 3%. Surrender fees - what you may owe when you exit the annuity - can range as high as 15%. These fees are buried in pages of bewildering prose in the prospectus or contract."Well, when you invest in a "Gold-Backed Annuity" company instead, you can withdrawal your money at ANY age you want. There are NO FEES... except whatever you would normally pay your broker to buy or sell regular equity shares and any taxes Uncle Sam requires. Plus, there are zero penalties for taking your gains any time you wish. Small Upfront Investment- With most annuities, you have to make a huge initial investment to make it worthwhile. Consider John Alderson from Boston, MA, for example. He's 63-years-old and has life savings of about $800,000. Recently, he took $400,000 and purchased an annuity, which pays him $2,568 a month. That's not bad, but how many people have $400,000 they can easily invest in one lump sum? Well, to invest in a "Gold-Backed Annuity" company, you can get started with as little as $26 (yes... $26, it's not a misprint). Also, as you've seen, a one-time investment of $5,000 could turn into well over $1 million dollars over the long term. The point is, for the average American who doesn't have hundreds of thousands of dollars to purchase a regular annuity, a "Gold-Backed Annuity" company makes more sense and could pay you a lot more money over your lifetime. Income For Life- You've already seen that one of the "Gold-Backed Annuity" companies returned 38% a year for 18 straight years. Another company has returned 23% a year the last 10 years and another returned 129% in just two years. The point is, once you invest in these "Gold-Backed Annuity" companies you could be set for life. With an investment in a "Gold-Backed Annuity" company, you could potentially see gains forever, and even pass it onto your heirs... or of course, you could cash out at anytime and take a lump sum. So, what exactly is a "Gold Backed Annuity" company and how can you get it on this incredible investment? Let me explain... As I mentioned, there are three unique companies in the U.S. and Canada that do nothing except invest in what we call "gold annuities"... that is, lifetime streams of income from the best gold mining projects in the world. What's incredible is that this is ALL these companies do. They simply buy up streams of income for the lifetime of very productive mines. That's why they have essentially no employees... no overhead... and almost no expenses. All they do is own these gold-backed "annuities"... and collect the revenue for the lifetime of any gold mining project. What's interesting is that you can become an equity shareholder in these "gold-backed" annuity companies. You'll collect your share of the money that is distributed... and potentially realize incredible capital gains as these "annuities" increase in value. As I write this, there are just three of these unique investments in the entire world: Gold-Backed Annuity Company #1 This company is based in Toronto, Canada. They have over 300 "annuity" contracts with various mining operations all over the world. These gold "annuities" give the firm revenue rights on mines in Nevada, Mexico, California, Indonesia, Canada and Australia. On one of the gold mines in Nevada, this firm has been getting guaranteed "annuity" payments for 20 years. And will continue to get payments for the life of the mine, which is expected to be another 9 years. In fact, in 2008, this one "annuity" brought the company and its shareholders $49.7 million, based on their contract to receive 4% of the lifetime profits. Another "gold-backed annuity" contract on a mine in north-central Nevada has paid the firm $250 million, thanks to a 7.29% contract on all profits. They also have a 5.1% "annuity" contract on another mine in Nevada, which paid them $13.4 million last year. And on a Montana mine, they have already received $17 million from "annuity" payments. They believe the mine should be good for "annuity" payments of $12 million a year for the next 50 years. The incredible thing is, these are just four of the "annuity" contracts this company has. They have another 296 "gold-backed annuity" contracts, in which they are legally entitled to receive a percentage of the profits for the lifetime of a particular mine. Of course, these "gold-backed annuities" have treated shareholders incredibly well... During one 18-year stretch, shareholders in this "gold-backed annuity" company received 32,000% gains... which turns every $5,000 invested into $1.6 million. Gold-Backed Annuity Company #2 This company is based in Denver, CO. They own 118 "annuities" on some of the world's most attractive gold mines... In places such as Mexico, Nevada and West Africa. In 2008 they received total "annuity" payments of $69.4 million. They got $7.4 million from a West African mine where they receive 15% of the profits. Best of all, the mines in which the company owns "annuities" have reserves of approximately 64 million ounces of gold. And with gold priced at well over $900 an ounce, that's over $57 billion dollars in "annuity" payments the company is entitled to in the near future. Early investors in this company have made well over 3,000% on their investment since the company went public. As you can see, these two companies are the perfect example of how owning a "Gold-Backed Annuity" company could help you receive extraordinary payments for the next several years... with very little risk. But I haven't even told you the best part... Gold-Backed Annuity Company #3 The first two "gold-backed annuity" companies I described are great investment, to be sure. But they've been around for more than 20 years. And the days of 1,000% gains, I'm afraid, are probably long gone. You see, what I haven't yet explained is the fact that to make the most money possible from these unique investments, you simply must get in early. And the good news is: There is now another chance for you to make absolutely astonishing gains thanks to a relatively new and unknown "Gold-Backed Annuity" company... What very few investors know is that in 2003, a small group of investors with a ton of experience in the gold and mining business got together. They were led by a 28-year industry veteran... who locked up "annuity" payments on mines in the U.S., Canada, Chile, Spain, Australia and South Africa, to name just a few. They have a total of 85 "annuity" contracts on these various mines. This includes a huge Canadian mine where they receive 2.7% of the profits for life, and made $9.6 million in 2008. This mine is expected to produce for another 25 years... until 2034. On a smaller mine in Spain, they get 1.5% of the profits and make $4 million a year. This particular mine has 15 years of life left. They also get 1.5% of the profits on approximately 3.0 million acres of gold lands in Western Australia. Incredibly, within the first two years of going public, shareholders saw returns of 129%... And since this company is still in its infancy, I believe you have the opportunity to make thousands of percent on your "annuity" shares over the next few years. In fact, I would like to help you make this investment right away. I have done a ton of research on this situation, and have published all of my findings in a new Research Report called: "Gold-Backed Annuities: One Investment That Can Pay For Your Retirement". I'd like to send you this report for FREE. It will show you how to buy this unique investment... the price to pay... and why you can look forward to a decade or more of huge returns. I'll go into very detailed valuation, which shows you exactly why I believe this is one of the few "buy-and-hold" opportunities in the world today for a lifelong stream of income. "Gold-Backed Annuities" are an incredible value... with very little risk... which could pay you hundreds and hundreds of percent gains over the next few years. Let me show you how to get your FREE copy today of my research... My name is Dan Ferris. I'm the editor and analyst of Extreme Value, an investment advisory letter that focuses on the safest and cheapest investment opportunities in the market—such as the "Gold-backed Annuity" companies I just mentioned to you. My "Extreme Value" strategy offers what I believe is the single best way to make money in the stock market today... by using only the safest and most profitable investments. Often times, I'll spend up to six months researching a stock opportunity... because I won't make a recommendation unless I find it almost impossible to lose money. For example, a few years ago I flew to the island of Maui, rented a car, and toured 37,000 acres of sugarcane fields owned by a company called Alexander and Baldwin (symbol: ALEX). I was accompanied by John Moxie, the company's Vice President of Farming Operations, who showed me each stage of the sugarcane growing process. After the tour, I went to the Maui Real Property Assessment Division where I found 242 tax records filed under Alexander and Baldwin's name. I discovered that the real assets owned by the company were selling on the stock market for a small fraction of what they were actually worth on the open market. Specifically: The company owns 90,600 acres of Hawaiian land, most of it on the islands of Maui and Kauai. And almost all of it is carried on the company's books at its original average cost of just $150 an acre. Today, some of that land is worth in excess of $1 million per acre... That's what I call an "Extreme Value" situation. Of course I recommended this company to my readers who could have seen gains of 154%. I expect we'll make considerably more over the next few years as well. In short, I've spent the last several months doing the same type of in-depth research on this new mining royalty company, which I believe could single-handedly pay for your retirement in the next few years. And the good news is... there are several other incredible "Extreme Value" opportunities out there right now... For example... of Dollars Thanks to The Tax Man My research for Extreme Value focuses on finding extraordinary opportunities to make very large gains... with almost no risk. Well, recently, I've found an incredible way to profit, thanks to the tax system. In short, I've found an investment that is better than government bonds, municipal bonds, or just about any savings vehicle on the planet. I expect you could get paid about 50%-100% on your money over the next few years... with as little risk as is possible in the investment world. It's all thanks to something I call "Tax Revenue Shares," which could potentially pay you a small fortune on about 16% of the tax revenue paid in the U.S. Some investors have been taking advantage of these "tax revenue shares" for years and have already seen gains as high as 923%. Even Warren Buffet, the greatest investor of the past 50 years has held this investment, and at one time owned more than $10 million worth. We all know that the only things certain in life are death and taxes. But most investors don't have a clue about how to turn the tax system in their favor. Keep in mind: The payouts from the "tax revenue shares" I'm going to tell you about have increased in value 23 of the past 27 years. Don't get me wrong: These "tax revenue shares" will not pay you 500% in one year. Rather, they are a super-safe investment, perfect for your savings, which could pay you a heck of a lot more than any bond or savings account I know of. Remember, no matter what happens in the economy or the stock market, people have to pay their taxes. And this is how you can get your share. And I haven't even told you the best part: You can easily buy these "tax revenue shares" through any ordinary stock broker, or on-line brokerage account. It couldn't be easier. I've written a report covering everything you need to know about these "revenue shares" called, How to Make Safe 50% Gains From "Tax Revenue Shares." Again, I'd like to send you this Research Report immediately, and free of charge. The research on "tax revenue shares" and the incredible opportunity with the "Gold-Backed Annuity" companies are actually the first things I'll send you when you take a risk-free look at my monthly advisory letter, Extreme Value. This research will help you decide whether or not Extreme Value is right for you. Here's what I mean... Extreme Value is not for the average reader.
And keep in mind: We found these huge gains while focusing on the safest "Extreme Values" in the market.
