Important Changes to Stansberry Subscriptions for 2010Dear S&A Research Subscriber,
Will Take Effect Immediately…
I am writing today about several significant changes we will be making to our business – and to your subscription - in 2010.
Since we are only about a month away from the end of the year, I want to give you enough lead-time so that you can make your decision on how you want to deal with these changes.
You see, thanks in large part to the financial crisis and economic downturn over the past year or so, we have been presented with a large opportunity.
In short, we have been working hard to complete a series of deals over the past two years.
And now, these deals are almost done, and it is time for us to explain the situation to you in full.
Here's the story…
As you know, since the market crashed last year, lots of great stocks and businesses have gone "on sale."
In other words, prices got so low on many great businesses that they nearly became "risk-free" investments. I hope you followed our advice to pick up some of these great companies at such great prices. If so, you have been rewarded.
Well, there's something else that went on sale over the past few years… a very valuable resource we have been trying to scoop up as quietly as possible.
I'm talking about investment talent.
In short, we have recently signed deals with some of the best investment talent in the world, which simply wasn't available to us only a few years before.
For example, one of our recent hires was an analyst for Jim Cramer. You may have heard him mentioned on Cramer's Mad Money on CNBC. He also used to have one of the top ranked financial advisory letters in the world according to The Hulbert Financial Digest.
Another one of our recent hires is a former Goldman Sachs derivates guru, who retired and then became a medical doctor and surgeon to boot. He's published in the medical literature on topics ranging from genetics to gene therapy. He holds an MBA from Kellogg in both Finance and International Strategy. And he's worked in arbitrage and trading groups with major Wall Street banks for a decade.
We also brought on a 35-year old self-made millionaire who has successfully pulled off a string of lucrative business deals, including the financing of a platinum country music record, a real estate development company worth over $1 billion, a furniture import business, and a racecar maintenance consulting firm worth nearly $1 million. He's even turned down six-figure salary jobs from GM and Accenture Consulting.
So what does all of this new talent at Stansberry Research mean for you?
In short, we are planning to launch several new investment research services, which are unlike anything we've done before. This is easily our biggest business expansion in five years.
And here's the best part…
Because you are an existing subscriber, we're offering you the opportunity today to receive all of this incredible new work, at NO extra charge.
It's an amazing opportunity I hope you'll take advantage of right away.
Let me explain…
Why We'd Like to Give You Dr. David Eifrig's Brand New Research Advisory – Retirement Trader - For FREE
If you knew the secret to generating fail-safe returns of 50% (or more) -- with very little chance of losing money -- would you ever touch another risky stock again?
This is the idea behind Dr. Eifrig's newest research advisory: Retirement Trader, which we are scheduled to launch in early 2010.
If you don't yet know Dr. Eifrig, let me briefly introduce you…
At the age of 50, Dr. Eifrig has already retired twice. Once as a derivatives trader on Wall Street and then as a board eligible eye surgeon.
Two very different professions… both require an incredible amount of skill and focus.
And by using his years of experience in both finance and medicine, Dr. Eifrig has adopted a unique formula for financial success unmatched by anyone I know…
Early in his career, for example, Dr. Eifrig told me one of the first stocks he bought was Amgen. You probably recognize the name. The company is the preeminent biotech company in the world today. But back in 1987, it was just another small stock trading for $0.50 a share. Over the years shares have shot up 15,900%… If you had put $5,000 into Amgen you'd now have $568,000.
In 1997, Dr. Eifrig told me he entered into a private equity deal with a handful of friends and a tiny biotech firm out of Madison, Wisconsin. Last year, pharmaceutical giant Roche bought out the company for approximately $125 million.
And these are just a few examples.
But Dr. Eifrig's past success is only one of the reasons we hired him…
You see, for nearly a decade, Dr. Eifrig also structured high upside, low downside investment deals for Wall Street's biggest firms including Goldman Sachs, Chase Manhattan, and Yamichi (Japan's oldest investment bank).
- In the 1980's, for example, he taught financial giant Fidelity how to use futures on stocks and treasury bonds to hedge market risks within their portfolios. Imagine one of the largest money managers in the world learning from our very own Doc Eifrig.
- In 1992, Dr. Eifrig helped Brazilian oil giant Petrobras hedge their oil production by setting up a structured product that hedged the company's oil production against the price of gold.
But these structured deals are typically reserved ONLY for the very rich. It's a contract sweetener that banks make available to "elephant" clients to keep their business.
In 2006, for example, HSBC created a structured product that locked in 8.25% annualized gains for three years.
Downside risk: ZERO. As HSBC states: This was "a guaranteed return."
You see, unlike typical investing where the outcome is unknown, many structured deals are designed by investment banks and lawyers to return a "principal guarantee."
In other words, you're original investment is protected, as long as the deal is held to maturity. On Wall Street, these kinds of products are only issued by investment banks through contractors that promise specific payments in specific circumstances.
For example, the Barclays Protected FTSE plan guarantees to make you 1.5 times any growth in the FTSE 100 index over the next four years, up to a maximum of 51%. Regardless of how the index finishes you still get all your initial investment back. In other words, there's practically very little risk involved.
Blue Sky Asset Management similarly offers a structured product that is linked to five banking stocks and offers 1,250% exposure to their returns. So for you to make 125% gains, these banks only need to grow by 10% over the next five years.
Of course, the problem is, these structured products are rarely advertised. Typically, only high net worth individuals – who own more than $1 million in assets – have the opportunity to get in on these types of deals.
Well… that is about to change.
You see, in Dr. Eifrig's new Retirement Trader, we'll show you exactly how you can generate "pre-set" investment returns by using similar types of structured deals big Wall Street banks design for their clients.
Only this time, you don't need $1 million to get in on these deals…
In short, Dr. Eifrig will research various investment vehicles (such as advanced option plays and convertible bonds) that could help you "lock in" safe returns in any market.
Understand, in the history of S&A, we've never offered a product like this.
The truth is, we've never employed anyone with Dr. Eifrig's unique experience. In one year he's already created one of our most successful newsletters ever.
Dr. Eifrig's Retirement Trader is in "beta" format right now. In other words, he is starting to put all of his research down on paper so that readers can understand exactly what he is doing.
When Dr. Eifrig's new research service goes out to the general public, it will cost at least $1,000… probably more.
But as I mentioned, you can receive this incredibly valuable research at no additional charge.
And the great news is… Dr. Eifrig's new research is just the beginning.
Look at what else we will be launching in the coming months…
2 New Penny Stock Advisory Letters from the World's #1 Penny Stock Analyst
Most people think penny stocks are risky and dangerous…
But the truth is, they can be one of the very best ways to invest… you just have to know the secrets to profiting in this niche market.
That is why we recently signed a contract to hire Frank Curzio, a man who has been touted by many of his followers as the best penny stock analyst in America.
Over the years, Frank has been a guest on various media outlets including Fox Business News, CNBC's The Kudlow Report and CNBC's The Call. He has also been mentioned numerous times on Jim Cramer's Mad Money, is a featured guest on CNN Radio and has been quoted in various financial magazines and websites.
Why exactly is Frank considered to be a top penny stock specialist?
Take a look at his recent recommended portfolio from when he worked at The Street.com. This is just a snapshot of how his recommendations performed between Nov. 2007 and June 8th, 2009…
|
As you can see, there isn't a single loss… a PERFECT track record during his time there. And this was during a period in which the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped by as much as 5,000 points.
Meanwhile, if you had invested $5,000 in each of these stocks while Frank was in charge of this recommended portfolio, you could have put nearly $110,000 in your bank account in that short time frame.
And keep in mind these are all penny stocks, which trade for around $10 or less a share.
This kind of success is extremely rare… especially in the penny stock market.
But Frank's background and track record speak for themselves…
Over the past 15 years, he's worked as a portfolio manager for a management firm with close to $100 million in assets, was recently the editor of a small stock advisory letter at one of the largest financial news organization in the country, and was the host of The Real Wall Street podcast – one of the most widely listened-to financial podcasts on iTunes.
As you can imagine, securing an exclusive contract for Frank wasn't easy…
As S&A reader Steve W., recently wrote in to say:
"I can't believe that you snagged Frank Curzio for an S&A analyst. I can tell you the guy is one of the best. He knows small caps like nobody else. You have a winner in Frank Curzio. His advice has made me a lot of money. Congratulations on your coup."We are very excited to have Frank be part of our business. And as soon as the ink had dried on his contract, we put him right to work…
Right now, for example, Frank Curzio is publishing "Beta" issues of his first Research Service for S&A, called: The Penny Stock Specialist.
In short, Frank has found a series of secrets to making money with stocks that trade for under $10 a share.
For example, one of Frank's techniques is to find very small companies that have partnered with big and successful businesses. It's a low risk way to identify companies that are poised to see a big jump in business in a hurry.
Consider the case of Synaptics (SYNA). This tiny software developer out of Santa Clara, CA. partnered up with Apple and shares shot up more than 1,415% as a result.
Or Del Monte, a canned food distributor out of San Francisco, CA. The company sells its products to Wal-Mart and has seen its shares spike up 111% in the past year.
As you can tell, we are very excited about this service.
Once it becomes available to the public, The Penny Stock Specialist will cost around $100 per year.
But again, because you are an existing subscriber, we would like you to have access to The Penny Stock Specialist at no additional charge whatsoever.
And that brings me to the second research service Frank plans to launch in 2010…
For Speculators Only…
In short, Frank has found a way to use his years of penny stock expertise to generate incredibly fast gains with VERY tiny stocks.
For this service, Frank will recommend only the very smallest penny stocks on the market, which sometimes trade for as little as 50 cents a share. He will only recommend investments that could realistically help you make 5 to 10 times your money.
Keep in mind: This will be a VERY speculative research service, with a serious amount of risk. But if you like trading very small stocks, which have the potential to make several hundred percent gains … I think you'll love Frank's work.
To me there's simply nothing better in the investment world than finding a tiny stock that's about to explode higher… for example, check out these top-performing stocks from all across the market over the past three months:
- Viking Systems (VKNG) – a medical equipment manufacturer with 21 employees– has risen 4,806%.
- Andes Gold Corp (AGCZ) – a $0.35 cent gold explorer – has jumped 3,400%.
- And Camino Soft Corporation (CMSF) - a tiny data storage backup provider out of Simi Valley, CA. - has jumped 2,581%.
We have not yet determined the exact price, but it will likely cost around $3,000 per year.
Understand, these stocks are very tiny and can only be exposed to a small group of serious investors, so we have to keep the price relatively high.
But again, you have the chance to get this work at NO EXTRA CHARGE.
And yes… there's more…
Remember: I told you 2010 will likely be the biggest expansion in the history of our business.
Let me show you about another great service we plan to launch, which you could get at no extra charge…
4 Years in the Making…
You may already be familiar with our free e–letter DailyWealth…
Written by senior S&A analyst Dr. Steve Sjuggerud, and some of our other top editors including Dan Ferris and Tom Dyson, DailyWealth reports every day on investment opportunities and ideas that average investors might never consider…
Lucrative gold coin investments, collectible stamps, Canadian income trusts, tax and retirement "loopholes," and obscure mining companies, just to name a few.
DailyWealth is a FREE e-letter, so we don't issue official investment recommendations.
But here's the thing:
In the next few weeks, we are launching a special "upgrade" to DailyWealth called DailyWealth Premium, a paid service that will show you how to take advantage of all of the ideas covered in our free e-letter.
For example…
On October 1st, 2009, Dr. Steve Sjuggerud wrote about a way you could grow your wealth without paying income tax on the gains…
And on Nov. 18th, Tom Dyson wrote about how one of the largest companies in America will soon be bankrupt and is expected to fall to zero by 2011.
But in both of these DailyWealth essays, we didn't explain exactly how to take advantage of these situations.
Well… in DailyWealth Premium, you'll get the full story on exactly how to take advantage of every idea we cover in DailyWealth.
We expect to charge somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 to $200 per year for DailyWealth Premium.
But again, you could get this new service at NO EXTRA CHARGE.
Not only that, but you'll be among the first to receive it, as soon as it is published.
Keep in mind, although we plan to launch each of these services, and have the analysts under contract to do so, we can't guarantee exactly when or if they will be launched. Some things are beyond our control – but rest assured, we are incredibly excited and motivated to get these off the ground and share this research with our readers.
The point of all this is: 2010 will be a big year for us…
And because you are already one of our important paid subscribers, we'd like to give you the opportunity to get all of our new research.
Before I show you how to put your name on these recipient lists, there's one more big development we have planned for next year, which could be our most valuable new service of all…
Off the Record
On Monday, Nov. 30th, we're launching a brand new service…
And this new service is unlike anything we have ever done before.
It is NOT a new newsletter… or trading service… and has nothing to do with books, websites, or videos.
In short, what we will be doing is hosting a conference call, on the last Monday of each month, in which the lead analysts in our business discuss the most important subjects in the investment world, and their favorite investment ideas at the moment.
We are calling this service: S&A OFF THE RECORD.
That's because the information, opportunities and ideas you'll hear about on these calls will often never be published in any of our ordinary research advisories.
You can participate in this discussion by submitting questions in advance, and listening to the entire conversation on your computer.
For example, on November 30th, we will be hosting our first-ever "Off the Record" call.
Editor in Chief Brian Hunt will lead the discussion with S&A Founder Porter Stansberry… and our most-followed analyst… former mutual fund Vice President and Hedge Fund manager Dr. Steve Sjuggerud… plus a handful of our other top experts.
The subject?
The best ways to grow your wealth in a time of complete financial uncertainty.
For example, Dr. Steve Sjuggerud has recently found an incredible opportunity that might be one of the safest things you can do with your money right now. It has absolutely nothing to do with stocks, bonds, gold, silver, or anything like that.
As you probably know, Dr. Sjuggerud is always miles ahead of the mainstream. He was recommending all kinds of gold coins when the precious metal was less than $500 an ounce.
And now he believes he's found the next great-undervalued asset in America…
In short, just last week, Dr. Sjuggerud invested $10,000 of his own money in this asset… and said he expects to realistically make gains of 1,000% over the next five years.
If you know Dr. Sjuggerud at all, you know that this is not a claim he would not make lightly.
On our first-ever "Off the Record" call, Dr. Sjuggerud will share all of the details, and show you how you can get into this incredible opportunity if you are interested.
Dr. Sjuggerud and Porter Stansberry will both answer questions about the markets (although we CANNOT give personal advice), and will detail the best opportunities available right now.
What do they see with the markets in the first half of next year? Where is the best sector to speculate right now for large gains? Where is the best place to put your super-safe savings?
These are the topics we'll be covering in "Off the Record" next week.
And please remember: Much of the information you'll hear about on these calls has not and will never be published in any of our ordinary research advisories.
Like I said, we are coming up on our first-ever call for this new monthly "Off the Record" call next week.
When it goes live to the public, we will likely charge $1,000 per year.
But you can be in on EVERY one of these calls (including a private invitation to our call next week), for as long as we are doing them, at no extra charge.
Let me explain why we are making such an offer…
Become one of our Most Successful Readers…
Over the years we've added quite a lot to our portfolio of research advisories.
Starting with one advisory letter back in 1999, we currently offer 14 primary research services.
And now that we've recently spent a small fortune acquiring some of the best investment talent in the industry, we plan on launching 5 new services in 2010, which combined, will cost over $6,000.
But because you are already one of our important subscribers, we would like to give you the opportunity to receive all of these new services, essentially for FREE.
In short, what I am offering you today is the opportunity to become a new lifetime "partner" in our business, as part of what we call the Stansberry & Associates Alliance.
As a member of this group, you will receive all of our new work next year… and any new work we produce beyond that, at no extra charge.
Members in our Alliance program are essentially "partners" in our business.
You see we don't sell Alliance Members new subscriptions to our research advisories. Alliance Members simply have access to all our research that we publish now… and everything we decide to publish in the future (except Phase 1 Investor)… at no additional charge.
This arrangement is good for our business (because of the stability it provides)… and I believe very good for your personal bottom line as well.
In fact, many who have joined have told us it's the best investment they've ever made:
- "You can tell all of your readers that it will be one of the best investment decisions they will ever make!" writes Bill Neumann of Hagerstown, MD.
- "This is looking more and more like the investment deal of the century,'" says Walt Gilherst of Plainview, IN.
- "I have made over 50-times my money," touts Jonathan Sylvan of Dakota, WA.
- "It's probably the best (if not most profitable) intellectual investment I've ever made…" writes Gerald Dotkins of Boston, MA.
In 2003, for example, when we first offered readers a chance to "partner" with us via the S&A Alliance – which is what we call our lifetime membership – our investment advisory letters were worth $6,691 in annual subscriptions.
Today, our advisories have a total price tag of around $15,945 per year, and with several new services in the works we expect this figure to soon reach over $22,000.
As a result, the "face value" of becoming a member of the Alliance has gone up significantly… and as long as we remain in business, we believe it will continue to do so.
But the real value, of course, lies in the information we publish, which depending on your investments and the amount of capital you have to invest, almost certainly could be worth much, much more.
For example:
- In 2005, Donald Schiff of San Antonio, TX, spent $5,000 to join the S&A Alliance. On June 5, Donald wrote in to tell us he's since made "$192,569 in profits."
- In 2006, Fred Lachlan of Geneva, Switzerland, spent $6,000 to join the S&A Alliance. According to a recent email, Fred is now sitting on approximately $197,500.
Today, we have several thousand Alliance members at S&A – folks from all over the world who believed in us, joined with us years ago and our now reaping the benefits of their decision.
Take Chris Jones, for example, who wrote us this email:
"This is the very best investment I've made in my 61 years on the planet. I've made more than FORTY (40!!!) TIMES return."Or Ralph Turney of Long Island, NY, who got in back in 2007:
"I'm a relatively small investor, but I've passed the one million dollar mark."And Alliance member Troy Brenner of Waterbury, VT, who wrote in just the other day:
"You guys are amazing! Last week Jeff Clark's Direxion Small Cap Triple Bear ETF call trade more than paid for my lifetime Alliance membership. I enjoy and profit from all of your publications and find them an extraordinary value."I hope you will feel like one of these folks in a few years, after you've made tens of thousands of dollars from our recommendations and after you've received years and years of our letters – all for the price of your admission into the S&A Alliance.
One thing is for sure though: you won't have to take the same risk as our earlier members.
Here's what I mean…
"I feel like I am ripping you off"
- S&A "Partner" Todd Dashowitz
When Porter Stansberry first started S&A research back in 1999, it was a 4-man team with a small group of subscribers. Since then, we've grown into one of the leading financial publishers in the world.
Our analysts have been featured in various publications including USA Today, Barron's, Fortune, and Market Watch. Several of our analysts, (most recently Matt Badiali and Frank Curzio), have appeared on Fox News. But despite our occasional mainstream exposure, we don't publish our research to attract big banking business.
In fact, the only way we stay in business is by offering our readers our best ideas – ideas that have the potential to make you money no matter what's happening in the markets.
We don't accept any advertising dollars from the companies we cover. Our focus is strictly on serving you… ideally as one of our "partners."
Our S&A Alliance offer is designed to further that relationship with our best customers, to allow you to essentially become a "partner" in our business. As our business grows, your Alliance membership becomes more valuable. And, with your support, we can afford to make the investments necessary to grow the business – like the new talent we've secured exclusively for our readers.
I know for sure that this relationship offers the best opportunities to take advantage of the work we do…
Take Kyle Blausner of St. Paul, MN.
Kyle joined the Alliance back in 2006. Kyle's made $75,000 following our recommendations since then.
Or ask Jason Leventhal from Portland, OR, what he thinks about his decision to partner with us. He only joined the Alliance last year and has already made a "20+ times return" on his membership fee, according to a recent email.
Or you could talk to Todd Dashowitz of Knoxville, TN, who became an Alliance member 3 years ago. He writes: "This is the best money that I may have spent. Truth be told, I feel like I am ripping you off."
As I mentioned, the benefit of joining the Alliance is that you get access to everything we publish now… and everything we publish in the future… for life (except Phase 1 Investor).
The S&A Alliance includes all of our monthly newsletters, weekly research advisories, and Special reports… for as long as we're publishing them. And as our partner, you also receive a handful of privileged benefits available to no one else (I'll explain the details in a minute). In fact, if you wish, you could even pass your Alliance membership to an heir.
When you break it down (which I'll do now), it soon becomes clear: Being an Alliance member could be the best "investment" you ever make—as it has been for many of our existing members.
Again: You get all of the regular investment research we publish now… plus everything we publish in the future… automatically, and at no additional cost.
Let me quickly outline exactly what this means and how it works...
The Privileged Few
One of the most important aspects of joining the S&A Alliance is that you receive our newest research products, as soon as we begin publication… often BEFORE these products are even available to the public.
For example, on October 10 in the midst of the U.S. stock market collapse our founder, Porter Stansberry, began a new research advisory called Put Strategy Report.
The sole purpose of the newsletter was to help S&A readers make a killing by taking advantage of a very unusual situation that had developed in the options markets.
At the time, investors were so afraid of a stock market crash following the Lehman bankruptcy that the prices for selling put options shot up to astronomical highs.
This was an extraordinary situation – volatility was off the charts. We'd never seen anything like it, and we'll probably never see it again. Because we have loyal Alliance members, Porter was able to create a whole-new letter – Put Strategy Report – to take advantage of the situation.
As he wrote back then: "This is the single best opportunity to make a low risk profit that I've ever seen. You can make a lot of money right now without even bothering to buy stock."
By taking advantage of this incredible opportunity in the options market, our readers were able to see an AVERAGE of 43% over the ensuing six months.
But...here's the thing.
We knew the letter had very little chance of becoming a commercial success. The concept was just a little too involved for the average reader.
And without the support of our Alliance members, we probably wouldn't have produced the letter.
But a lot of people are VERY happy that we did…
Dozens of Alliance members have written us recently to tell us how Porter's Put Strategy Report was their favorite newsletter of all time…
- Drew Highmore of Grey Rock, AR, for example, joined the Alliance in 2004. He had full access to every issue of Put Strategy Report as soon as they went online. In a recent email Drew writes: "Just one of your put strategies in the Put Report more than paid for my entire Alliance membership! If you look at it that way, then everything else you give us for the rest of our lives is completely free!"
- Jeremy Dennis of Wilmington, DE, had a similar experience. He joined the Alliance in 2003, and told us he was "up $106,000 in 2008" due to the recommendations made in Put Strategy. As Jeremy says, "Put Strategy is so very profitable… with the least amount of investing stress I have ever experienced. Imagine getting thousands of dollars deposited in my account to buy stocks I really wanted to own."
- Alliance Member Lou Rendell of Scottsdale, AZ, also writes: "I have been an Alliance member for several years and your Put Strategy Report has made me a ton of money."
The point is: These are just a few of the letters we've received from Alliance members who used Put Strategy to literally salvage their portfolio and actually make a lot of money in 2008.
The funny thing is, most of these folks would have never benefited from this research if they hadn't already been Alliance members.
That's why the Alliance is such a critical win-win for both of us. It allows us to publish "off the beaten path" research for our members, without having to worry about whether or not each newsletter we launch can stand on its own.
Think about it… In 2003, the first S&A readers to join the Alliance received $6,691 worth of investment research. Today, this group is set to receive over $22,000 in investment research!
And remember: No matter how many advisory newsletters we add in the future, this same group will have access to each and every one of them at no extra cost.
So if you're currently subscribed to any of our newsletters, I highly suggest you consider joining the Alliance. I believe it will be the most profitable "investment" you ever make, and it will save you a lot of money on our research in the long run.
As Alliance member Jeff Seidel writes:
"I have been an Alliance member from early on. It is, without a doubt, the best investment I have made… You couldn't pay me $10,000 to give up the subscription."I don't think there's a better value...or a better opportunity, anywhere. I can tell you with total sincerity that buying into our Alliance will be the best investment you ever make.
And, if you've ever thought about joining, now is the time.
In 2010, we're launching 5 new services that you won't want to miss out on.
As I mentioned, we've even decided to offer a conference call service called S&A Off the Record, in which Porter Stansberry, Dr. Steve Sjuggerud, and our other top analysts will talk about ideas and strategies that aren't covered in our regular work.
On the Nov. 30th call, for example, you'll learn the best ways to buy gold, the two best biotech stocks to buy and Frank Curzio's favorite stock under $10 right now.
If you're interested, let me show you exactly what's involved – so you can decide if an Alliance Membership is right for you…
ALL our new research services
(even the ones we haven't launched yet)
Since our inception we've added 1-2 new financial research advisories each year, on average.
In 2010, we plan to add 5 new research advisories, our biggest expansion to date.
And by becoming an Alliance member, you get all of them plus the regular work we publish, and much more for the rest of your life.
This includes all of the Trading newsletters we currently publish:
1) The S&A Short Report. Trading expert and veteran money manager Jeff Clark writes this weekly options trading advisory letter, which has nearly outperformed every other research letter we've published for the past 2 years.
- Cost: $4,000 per year.
- For Alliance members: FREE.
He retired from the brokerage business in his early 40s and today, works for us.
What's amazing about Jeff is how even in the worst bear markets he finds hugely successful plays. In the past 18 months, for example, – Jeff's readers have seen gains of 490% in 25 days… 122% in 17 days… 233% in 13 days… 211% in 3 days… 140% in 2 days… 110% in one day… and 13 other 100% gains.
|
Jeff's old clients paid a $5,000 minimum for his services – and that was a bargain.
But when you join the Alliance, you'll receive Jeff's weekly options alerts for free. And that's just the beginning...
You'll also receive every other research advisory we publish, including...
2) S&A FDA Report. Run by Ph.D. medical expert George Huang, this trading research letter specializes in obtaining exclusive information from top universities, labs, and venture capital firms to pocket overnight windfalls on biotech stocks.
Quite simply: The FDA Report pinpoints the hundreds of "inefficiencies"... "glitches"... and "anomalies" that exist in the medical sector… as a single investment strategy.
How successful has Dr. Huang been? Well, since he began, he's produced one of the best track records of any advisory letter in S&A history:
In 2009 alone, Dr. Huang has shown his readers 13 double-digit winners.Last fall, during the financial collapse, while most investors were losing their shirts, Dr. Huang discovered a pricing "anomaly" in the medical sector that showed his readers 88% gains in 14 days with a company called Intermune (ITMN)… and 105% gains in just 7 weeks, with the drug maker Dendreon (DNDN).
And recently, in Feb. 2009, Dr. Huang uncovered a rare buyout situation in the medical sector involving a Dutch vaccine maker and one of America's largest healthcare companies. Readers who have taken advantage of this situation have seen a 100% gain in 7 months (as of Sept. 2009).
What's unique about Dr. Huang is that he holds his doctoral degree from Johns Hopkins' School of Medicine, where he worked under a 2003 Nobel Laureate in chemistry.

3) Inside Strategist. In March 2009, we hired Braden Copeland, a self-made millionaire and entrepreneur, who at only 35 years of age has already started three businesses (one is worth close to $1 billion) and financed a platinum country music record.
We hired Braden because he has a true knack for spotting great business opportunities.
Today, Braden is the editor of Inside Strategist, a monthly newsletter that focuses exclusively on ways to make money in the market by monitoring corporate insiders.
|
In fact, since we hired Braden in March 2009, he's already shown Inside Strategist readers 13 double and triple-digit gains including 137% gains in 4 months on European Goldfields (EGFDF)... 104% gains on Verifone (PAY)…53% gains on Chimera Investment Corp. (CIM)… and 54% gains on Yamana (AUY), by following "inside" information.
- Cost: $199 per year.
- For Alliance members: FREE.
4) Put Strategy Report. This weekly trading letter promises to show you a 50% minimum gain on stocks... without buying a single share.
What I'm talking about is a certain type of option transaction, otherwise known as selling a naked put.
Normally selling puts can be risky, because you're agreeing to buy a stock in the future, if the price falls.
However, because stocks have gotten so cheap and because there's so much fear in the market right now, there's essentially very little risk involved.
Other investors are willing to pay you – at annualized rates between 40% and 60% - to be ready to buy stocks at a discount to their current prices.
It's like getting "free money." Lots of it.
**As Michael Sincere, author of ‘101 Investment Lessons' from the Wizards of Wall Street writes: "You receive a premium on a stock that you don't even own. It almost sounds too good to be true."In short, if you have losses to make up for, this is the absolute best way to do it.
As Put Strategy subscriber Harold Welchik of New Brunswick, NJ, writes: "I calculate I've netted $21,619 making these trades in a brief period."
Subscriber Neil Hues similarly writes: "I finally took the plunge, keyed in an order and PRESTO, money in my account!! THIS STRATEGY IS EXCELLENT."
In short, this is the most lucrative and safest strategy Porter has ever promoted.

5) Penny Trends. This is our newest trading research service. While others will be paying $2,000 per year, as an Alliance member, you'll receive it at no extra charge.
S&A Editor in Chief Brian Hunt has spent more than a decade figuring out how to optimize trades in small-cap stocks. His strategy is simple: He only recommends them when they're going up by leaps and bounds, which occur about once every 10 years. Fortunately, penny stocks are starting to soar again, so Brian has teamed up with colleague Tom Dyson to write Penny Trends, a weekly trading research service that focuses on small stocks with market caps of less than $500 million.
As of Nov. 2009, Tom and Brian have already picked 10 double and triple digit gains.
If this trend continues, these guys will recommend a slew of HUGE winners over the next 12-18 months.
- Cost: $2,000 per year.
- For Alliance members: FREE.
With your membership, you'll be entitled to all 5 of our upcoming services…
- The Penny Stock Specialist (Estimated value: $100)
- Retirement Trader (Estimated value: $1,000-$2,000)
- Frank's Curzio's Small Cap Service (Estimated value: $3,000)
- DailyWealth Premium (Estimated value: $200)
- S&A Off the Record… and monthly conference call service (Estimated value: $1,000)
Some of these new services are still very much in the planning stages – but rest assured, we are incredibly excited and motivated to get these off the ground and share this research with our readers
You'll also get...
ALL our income advisory letters
In addition to the trading advisory letters I described, you will also be entitled to a lifetime subscription to all of our income advisory letters, including:
1) Advanced Income. It's surprising that so many people simply buy and hold stocks, hoping they'll go up, when you can collect up to $4,900 on the exact same companies in 24 hours.
In this monthly advisory letter, Jeff Clark shows you how to pocket quick payouts every single month. Once you have it – the money's yours. It's not a dividend... advance on earnings... or anything else you've likely heard of.
|
"I had never done this until following Jeff," reader Ron Campbell told us recently. "My wife and I have made roughly $22,000 extra income in 3 months."
- Cost: $1,000 per year.
- For Alliance members: FREE.
You'll also get...
2) True Income. As far as I know, there's no other investment newsletter in the country like True Income.
In short, veteran income analyst Mike Williams finds unique bonds that offer contractually obligated returns—which typically pay better than even the best stocks in a bull market.
|
By taking advantage of his bond expertise, he hasn't bought a single stock since 1995... and doesn't believe you should, either. There's no need. With Mike's work, you'll know ahead of time exactly when you're set to receive your income – in many cases 10 TIMES more than dividends.
So far this year Mike has recommended 10 bonds. The average open gain: 43%.
- Cost: $2,400 per year.
- For Alliance members: FREE.
Editor Tom Dyson travels the world looking for the best-paying stocks – enabling one reader to make as much as $128,674 in extra income in one year.
|
Tom has also found a unique bank that you can enroll in that offers up to 25% a year, year after year, no matter what happens to the market.
These are just a few of the opportunities you'll learn about in The 12% Letter... Right now, out of 29 open recommendations, the average open position is 26% and only one pick is down (-3%).
- Cost: $99 per year.
- For Alliance members: FREE.
You'll also receive:
ALL our research on alternative investments
(even Retirement Millionaire)
Some of the most-followed research we publish covers alternative investments – overlooked opportunities that can safely make you a fortune.
As an Alliance member, you get it all... including:
|
1) True Wealth. In this monthly letter, alternative investment expert Dr. Steve Sjuggerud finds little-known ways to generate all the money you'll need to retire, without taking big risks.
Recently, for example, Dr. Sjuggerud found a government bond that pays 60%… an opportunity to make a tax-free 500% thanks to your local gov't)... and a Federal policy that can help you possibly retire totally tax-free.
Dr. Sjuggerud's incredible track record includes a 341% gain in 19 days... a 300% in 7 days... a 111% in 22 days... and gains of 123% and 118% - among dozens more.
- Cost: $99 per year.
- For Alliance members: FREE.
2) Retirement Millionaire. This monthly letter is unlike anything we've ever published. In short – Dr. David Eifrig shares the secrets of how to get everything you need for retirement, without paying a dime...
Extra money from the Social Security Administration... free money from the government to start a business... free vacations... free dinners... free golf... free phone service (including long distance)... free airline tickets... and more.
Plus – he unveils little known secrets of the financial world: How to get paid thousands of dollars just to stay in your current house... how to make a fortune on investments without ever buying an ordinary stock... how to own gold bullion that pays a 15% per year dividend... and much, much more.
- Cost: $49.50 per year.
- For Alliance members: FREE.
ALL our value investing letters
Two of the most successful letters we publish cover value investing.
As an Alliance member, you'll get both – including...
1) Extreme Value. We believe that value investing offers the one proven way to get really rich in the stock market... over the long term.
This strategy has been used by Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway (2nd richest man in the world, according to Forbes)... William Ruane ($10,000 in his Sequoia Fund when it began would be worth $1.7 million today)... and other successful investors.
|
And it's what Dan Ferris uses month after month to write Extreme Value, a letter so successful it was profiled by Barron's... and even attracted Mohnish Pabrai, an investment manager who out-performed Warren Buffett for 4 straight years.
The secret is finding extreme values... which Dan's used to show gains of 124% on Gateway... 97% on Circuit City... 95% gain on JAKKs Pacific… 99% on Lehman Brothers… 111% on Blair... and the list goes on.
- Cost: $1,000 per year.
- For Alliance members: FREE.
2) Porter Stansberry's Investment Advisory. This is the monthly advisory letter that launched our business back in 1999.
The letter includes Porter's "No Risk Portfolio" recommendations– value stocks you could buy today and hold forever... while collecting huge annual returns. Porter will even issue an occasional option play if he sees fit.
Since its inception, six PSIA picks have made the S&A Hall of Fame – our top 10 most successful recommendations of all-time – with gains of 592% on JDS Uniphase... 301% gains on Texas Instruments... 271% gains on Cree... 233% gains on Celgene... 215% gains on ID Biomedical... and 207% gains on Elan.
- Cost: $99 per year.
- For Alliance members: FREE.
ALL our commodities research
One of our most widely read advisory letters focuses on the commodities sector. When you join the Alliance, you'll receive a lifetime subscription to it...
1. S&A Resource Report. This monthly letter gives you a veteran geologist's on-the-ground perspective to making a fortune in natural resources and precious metals.
As you know, the price of oil recently is on its way back up (128% since January). The price of gold has also shot up by 45% this year alone. We believe this marks the beginning of a new bull market in the energy and precious metals sector.
|
One of his contacts, for example, recently tipped him off to Veritas, whose seismic mapping technology is used by deep-sea exploration companies. A short time later, Veritas was bought out. S&A Resource Report readers saw 101% gains in just 9 months.
So far this year (as of Nov. 2009), 15 of Matt's 20 open recommendations have showed readers double and triple-digit gains including a 134% gain on Silvercorp Metals (SVM) and a 150% gain in less than 4 months on Jinshan Goldmines (JIN.TO).
- Cost: $99 per year.
- For Alliance members: FREE.
But there's something else you'll get...
It's among the most valuable features of S&A Alliance Membership...
4-times a year, you'll receive our members-only S&A 16 Portfolio
This benefit, the "S&A 16," may be more valuable than all of our new research combined. And it's reserved for Alliance members only.
Here's how it works...
In short, we want to make it easy for you as an Alliance member to put our best research to work. So we provide a report you'll find nowhere else: a selection of our 16 Best Recommendations from all the work we do.
|
Our research team creates this portfolio every single quarter. The most recent S&A 16 issue was published on October 15, 2009.
We do this so you'll have a balanced perspective.
We include four categories of stocks (value, growth, income, and macro) so that no matter what kind of investing you like to do, you'll find our current best four ideas in each major category.
Why 16 stocks?
Because we want to represent our full spectrum of recommended investments. But with few enough stocks to focus only on our best current ideas.
Should you only take advantage these 16 stocks?
Well, that's for you to decide. Some Alliance members swear by it, while others enjoy picking and choosing.
Remember: When you join the S&A Alliance, you'll receive The S&A 16 Model Portfolio at no extra charge, every quarter, for as long as we're publishing it.
It's not available to regular subscribers at any price.
The only way to receive the S&A 16 is by joining the Alliance.
Of course, the thing you have to consider is, how do the numbers stack up on this opportunity?
Let me explain…
How to get more than $117,000 worth of S&A research – at no extra charge
If you add up all the current research products I've just told you about (those we produce now, plus the ones we plan to be adding in 2010), you'll notice that it would cost you $23,544 to receive all our research for a single year.
Over 2 years, it would cost you $47,088.
Over 5 years – $117,720.
Still, that's a pretty good deal. Wall Street managers charge as much as $30,000 for a single report. And frankly, I believe our independent research is better than anything you can buy from Wall Street.
But when you join the Stansberry & Associates Alliance today, you'll save literally tens of thousands of dollars on the price of our work over the next few years.
You'll receive every newsletter we publish. For trading… Income… Alternative investments… Value… Commodities. All our new services... our S&A 16 portfolio... anything and everything we'll ever publish going forward.
In fact, the only thing Alliance members don't receive is a lifetime subscription to Phase 1, our $5,000 per year micro-cap advisory letter covering companies in early stages of development. (We simply must limit this research to just a very few readers).
Keep in mind; your investment in the Alliance never expires, and we expect it to increase exponentially in the coming years, as our business continues to grow. Also, remember that your Membership can be passed on to your children if you'd like.
But before I explain specific details on how to activate your Alliance membership, let me tell you about one more exclusive benefit...
An invitation to the annual S&A Alliance Conference
Once a year, our exclusive S&A Alliance group gets together in person.
In 2006 we met at the luxurious St. Regis Hotel in Aspen, Colorado. In 2007, we met on the white sands of the Caribbean – in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. In 2008, we met at the Four Seasons in Hong Kong. This year, we met in Kiawah Island near Charleston, South Carolina.
Next year's destination is yet to be decided, but as soon as we do, you'll be the first to know. As an Alliance member, you're automatically on the exclusive guest list, so that you can learn about the best current moneymaking opportunities around the world, and meet the key players of our business, in person.
And after a full day of meetings, we'll hold a gala dinner reception... our treat.
|
You'll learn about great investment ideas you won't hear anywhere else. And just as important – these getaways are a lot of fun.
We love meeting our new Alliance members... and catching up with old ones. After all, these relationships are what make our business successful.
So every year, we treat them to a day of fine food... good wine... and valuable investing ideas.
Everything included, we value this event at about $750.
As an Alliance member, you're always invited... free.

Here's what I mean...
How to get started right away
When you add up everything I've mentioned here, you'll see it would cost $23,544 to receive all of these publications and services for one full year.
But you won't pay anywhere near that much...
Here are two payment options:
1) You can either make a one-time payment of $10,000 for an S&A Alliance Membership.Each year going forward, you will pay a maintenance fee of $199, to cover our fixed costs – things like postage, computer bandwidth, and customer service.
Or
2) Pay your Alliance membership through 4 easy quarterly payments of $2,500.
But that's all you will pay, ever, to receive everything we publish now and in the future.
And please keep this in mind: You'll have 60 DAYS to decide whether or not becoming an Alliance member is right for you.
If for whatever reason you want to cancel your Alliance membership in the first sixty days, just let us know. If you decide to cancel, we'll refund your complete payment, minus a 10% refund fee for whatever money you paid.
|
In the future, we could reasonably charge more than $20,000. And it is likely you will never see this current price again.
Also Important: This deal will expire at midnight on Wednesday, Dec. 9th, 2009.
After that, I can make no promises about when you will next have the chance to join… or what the price will be.
But I expect that as we go public with several of the new services I've described, the price will jump considerably.
I hope that you will consider this deal seriously.
I really believe that joining the Alliance will be the greatest investment decision you'll ever make.
If you're not sure whether or not this opportunity makes sense for you, I encourage you to read the real words of real subscribers who have taken us up on this offer:
- "I am thrilled with my Alliance subscription (buy once, buy right) and have made hundreds of thousands from your services in the past three years," writes Alliance member Harry Swift.
- "I would pay $15,000," writes Edith Palton. "This was the single smartest move I've ever made in my financial affairs."
- "Since 2005, I've easily made 70-times the Alliance membership fee," admits Alliance member Tom Campbell.
I hope to hear from you right away.

P.P.S. Also… one more thing we are in the midst of producing, which you'll have free access to before it even goes public…
Right now, a handful of our researchers are working on what we are calling The Gold Investor's Bible. In short, it is a compendium of all our best gold investing ideas we've ever come across. Like how to buy gold with ZERO dollar markup… how to get paid "interest" on your gold holdings… how to slash the taxes on your gold sales in half, or even possibly eliminate them completely… the best places to hide your gold… how to store your gold in a Swiss vault, practically for free… how to pay 20% less for bullion than the current spot price… how to legally take as much gold as you want out of the country… and MUCH more.
The Gold Investors Bible will be sold to the general public… but you'll have access to it first… and at NO extra charge as an Alliance Member. Become an Alliance member today by simply completing the enrollment form on the next page…
