Why I'm friends with
America's most
"Obnoxious" Millionaire
He got kicked out of his college fraternity, and was canned from his first job for insubordination.

I've also seen him throw his office phone against the wall, smash his computer keyboard over his knee... and fire 8 employees in a single afternoon.

My rich friend will probably piss you off, and will definitely offend you--but he could also help make you filthy rich by this time next year.


Dear Reader,

My friend Frank makes a lot of money.

More than $100,000 in a "bad" month, and well over $200,000 in a good month. It all adds up to millions per year.

He's helped me make a small fortune too, and as you're about to see, he could easily do the same for you.

But here's the thing...

You might not like my friend Frank. He is loud. He is arrogant. And he can be pretty obnoxious...

Like the time we took a group to Argentina to investigate a handful of local real estate deals...

One night, over dinner, Frank went on a rant about how America should never have entered World War II, because the Germans were already losing. The thing was, we were meeting with a group of veterans who had stormed the beaches of Normandy, and helped liberate the concentration camps.

It was embarrassing.

But that's the thing about Frank: He's never afraid to say what's on his mind, no matter what the situation.

Another time Frank was at a high-tech investment conference of 5,000 people. He stood up in the middle of the event and told the presenters their business was "a load of crap," and that they'd be bankrupt in three years or less.

Everyone was shocked that someone would say this, especially to the hosts of the event. But you know what... the company soon collapsed, just as Frank predicted.

Also: Another important thing to know about Frank is that you may find the way he spends his money a little... well... outrageous.

For example, one time he wanted a tree to shade his custom patio and outdoor kitchen in his backyard. Most people would buy a $100 sapling, put it in the ground, and wait a few years for it to grow to the right size.

But not my rich friend Frank...

He spent $15,000 to put a 50-foot sugar maple on the back of an 18-wheel tractor-trailer. A whole crew of guys inched it up his circular driveway, and had to remove his fence, before placing the tree in the ideal spot.

Since I've known Frank, I've seen him spend $20,000 on a rug... and $20,000 on several cases of Italian wine (for his $50,000 wine cellar). I've seen him buy the fastest street-legal sedan in America... and drop well over $200,000 on a brand-new, 35-foot, Everglades 35CC ocean fishing boat.

You get the point. My friend Frank likes to flaunt his wealth. And he likes to show off too...

I'll never forget the time we were playing golf at his country club, and he drove our cart into a lake on the third hole. He jumped out before it hit the water... leaving me to go "down with the ship," so to speak. I lost everything... my wallet... my credit cards, my driver's license... everything. I literally had to drive home in my underwear.

But you know what... it's all worth it.

Because knowing Frank has helped me make a small fortune (I've bought two waterfront homes in the past two years with my earnings).

And as I'll explain, it's quite possible that Frank could help you make a lot of money too.

Let me show you what I mean and how he does it...

How to get paid to
fish in the Bahamas

I'm sure you probably know lots of rich people in your hometown.

But the reason I'd like to tell you about my rich friend Frank is because he is an unusual guy... who makes his money in an unusual way.

You see, Frank doesn't own a business... but he doesn't really have a boss, either. He does work hard... but his "work" is usually more fun than any vacation I've ever had.

As I write this, Frank's "work" has taken him on a fishing trip to the Bahamas. Two weeks ago, his "work" took him to Belize. Before that, "work" took him to one of Manhattan's finest hotels, The Plaza, overlooking Central Park. Next, he's off to Buenos Aires, to tour a new golf course and vineyard.

Essentially, my rich friend Frank spends his days in search of good business and investment opportunities, all over the world.

He works out of his home every morning in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods on the East Coast... then drives to his office, (designed by one of America's most famous 19th-century architects, Stanford White).

Then, several times a month, he jets off to some location to investigate a situation first-hand (as I mentioned, he's off to South America right now).

Frank has a few accountants who work with him... a lawyer, several legal assistants... and a group of researchers who spend ridiculously long hours following up on his leads and ideas.

I'm one of those guys.

Believe me, this is not an easy job. Frank can be a real hard-ass...

I'll never forget the time he smashed a chair in his office when he heard about a CEO's legal decision... or the time he couldn't get a hold of someone on the phone, and ripped the whole thing out of the wall and tossed it across the room. Another time, when his keyboard stopped working, he stood up and cracked it in half across his knee.

But you know what, the crazy thing is, Frank is almost always right. And when he knows he's right, he simply won't back down or give an inch.

And in spite of all this, I wouldn't trade this job for anything, because thanks to Frank, I get exposed to one incredible deal after another, which has helped me become richer than I ever imagined.

You see... love him or hate him, the people who work with Frank, or simply follow up on his ideas, often make an absolute fortune.

Let me show you an example of what I mean....

How my rich friend Frank got a
brand-new $250k fishing boat

About 10 months ago, Frank came across an opportunity in several public securities.

It turns out that because of last year's financial crisis, there were a handful of very good businesses seeking capital. They were offering incredible returns, with almost no risk.

The thing was, this opportunity was not advertised in any newspaper, written up in any magazine, or presented at any conference. Frank had to seek out these opportunities individually, with each firm.

In short: These opportunities were open to anyone who had the business savvy to spot the situation, and understand the intricacies of how they would work.

But I know of only one guy in the business world who can evaluate this type of situation quickly, and know exactly how to take advantage of it.

After Frank found this opportunity, he sent an e-mail (I still have a copy) to about two-dozen of his closest friends and business contacts on November 20th. Here's part of what his e-mail said:
"Today I very deliberately invested about 25% of my cash savings. This is a significant investment for me, but nothing I couldn't live happily without."

"I greatly admire these businesses. These companies have been able to earn double-digit returns on their assets for many years -- a rare accomplishment in business."

"I am very confident the intrinsic value of these companies will greatly increase..."

"Just wanted you to know."

-- Frank
November 20th, 2008
Foolishly, this is one of the few times I didn't listen to my rich friend Frank... and it cost me, big time.

After about 4 months, Frank's personal portfolio was up more than $50,000... nearly a year later, it was up more than $150,000.

A few weeks ago, Frank cashed out a chunk of his stake.

He essentially doubled his money with a few clicks on the Internet, and used the proceeds to help pay for the brand-new, fully-rigged, 35-foot ocean fishing boat I mentioned earlier.

Now a lot of people don't know how Frank got the money for that fishing boat. And a lot of people thought he was just throwing his money around. But I happen to know that he made all that money in several publicly traded equities in about six months. So he didn't care about spending it.

And that's why I'm writing you today...

If you are interested, there's an easy way for you to get the details on situations like these, when Frank uncovers them.

For example, let me show you about another very lucrative deal he found recently...

How to make 250% at the mall

A month or so after Frank found these unusual public securities, he called me into his office.

He'd been digging into the financials of a company that runs some of the shopping malls near where we live.

Why he was even looking at this business, I have no idea. But what came next was typical Frank...

Buried deep in the financial statements and legal documents that almost no one reads, Frank made a startling discovery...

In short, he found that because of the way these guys had arranged their financing, they were being forced to restructure large portions of their business, very soon, and very quickly.

I'd been to these shopping malls a hundred times in my life, and I've known tons of people who have worked there over the years, but I didn't have a clue about what Frank was talking about.

But I perked up when he explained the details and said: "We can make a fortune because these guys essentially have their hands tied behind their backs."

You see, basically, in a matter of weeks, these companies were being forced to pay off very large loans they thought they would be able to roll over for years and years to come.

Frank is the only business analyst I know of who not only understood this situation, but found a way to make a fortune on the deal.

Long story short... Frank found a unique way to play the situation. He wouldn't tell me how much he made, but I know he got back 250% more than he invested.

Of course, everyone in the office had to listen to Frank gloat about his success... how he made a fortune... and how these guys were a bunch of idiots... but you know what, you gotta give the guy credit for spotting financial opportunities no one else sees.

And the truth is, there's no way in the world I would have ever figured out this opportunity on my own, and I certainly didn't see anybody else in the financial world talking about it either.

In fact, I can still remember the first time I took a sizeable position on one of Frank's "unusual" recommendations. I made more than $40,000 on a gold "derivatives" investment... and it keeps going up, every single year since I first bought it.

That's the thing you'll have to remember about my rich friend Frank:
He might piss you off... or say something outrageous or offensive, but there's simply no one I know who's better at finding opportunities for safely turning small sums of money into a sizeable little fortune.
So what does all of this have to do with you, you're probably wondering?

How can my rich friend Frank help you?

Here are the specifics...

A rare opportunity to make 400%...
Without touching stocks or bonds

Over the past two months, Frank has spent an enormous amount of time investigating what he calls: "The only sure thing in the investment world right now."

This has nothing to do with stocks or bonds (the time to buy those has passed, Frank says). And it has nothing to do with real estate, private businesses, or anything like that, either.

What we are talking about instead is an opportunity in the currency markets.

You see, this opportunity has arisen because of the U.S. government's response to the financial crisis last year.

In short, when the government goes this deep into debt, there's a little-known type of U.S. currency (yes, it was actually created by the government) that absolutely skyrockets in price.

Just how much can you make exactly?

Well, the last time we had this opportunity (the 1970s), the trade Frank told me about returned over 1,200%... while stocks and bonds and real estate and just about every other financial asset in the world lost money.

How much could you expect to make this time around?

There's no guarantee of course, but Frank says his conservative estimate is 600% over the next five years.

I realize that probably sounds a little hard to believe, but when you see the details of the situation, I think you'll probably agree that this actually is a conservative estimate.

If you think investing in currencies is too risky and speculative.... believe me... I felt the same way. But what we're talking about is nothing like the crazy currency trading you see advertised on TV.

Basically, this is a very unusual situation in a little-known sector of the U.S. currencies market. It is about as low-risk as any investment can be... and yet it has the potential to net gains of 600% over the next few years.

What's great is, to take advantage of this currency trade, you don't need to open a new bank account. You don't need a "FOREX" currency account. You don't need to use margin or leverage, or anything risky like that. You don't have to buy a foreign currency... and you don't need to buy a stock or a bond either.

In fact, all you need is an ordinary checking account or credit card, and you can get in on this with a single phone call.

Frank believes this currency trade is probably the absolute safest thing you can do with your money right now. Of course, he also believes it is likely to be the most lucrative...

You can invest as little as $10... or as much as $20,000 or more.

Frank is putting a significant amount of his own savings into this investment. I've started to do the same thing... and have already made more than a thousand dollars. I suspect many of the guys in our office will be taking advantage of the situation too.

I'm sure we'll have to listen to Frank brag about this one too... but believe me, when he's helped you make a ton of money (like he has me), it's easier to be more tolerant of his obnoxious behavior.

Why are we so confident about this investment?

Well, for one, Frank feels as strongly about this opportunity as anything he's uncovered in a long time...

And when Frank spots an opportunity like this, believe me, you want to take advantage of it in a significant way.

The good news is, you can get all the information right now, if you're interested.

Here's what I mean...

The List

I'm not the only person who listen's to my rich friend Frank on financial matters.

You see, about 15 years ago, Frank partnered up with one wealthiest guys in America to find and assess business and investment deals.

As this wealthy business partner told me recently:
"I've seen Frank put his foot in his mouth on more than one occasion... he just can't help himself. But I didn't go into a partnership with him for his social graces. I'm in business with him because he's the best at what he does. And he's put millions of dollars in my pocket over the past five years."
Believe me, no one would put up with Frank, or pay him so much, if he wasn't also making them rich.

You see, part of my rich friend Frank's job is to write up his findings every month, in a journal briefing he shares with a limited group of subscribers.

Why would you want to be on Frank's list?

Well, I can't prove that there's a connection between the fact that my friend Frank has an irascible personality (and can quite frankly, from time to time, can be a real jerk) and his incredible investment and business success.

But the truth is, he just doesn't suffer fools gladly...

He also doesn't put up with any kind of B.S. And that enables him to see the world more clearly, and more objectively. He's as tough on evaluating investment opportunities as he is on some of his employees.

And this enables him to turn up incredible opportunities I don't think you'll find anywhere else.

Like the currency trade I just described... which could allow you to make a fortune without touching stocks, bonds or real estate.

But here's the problem...

Are you easily offended?

I can put you on Frank's recipient list right away.

Once I do so, you'll receive the details on this situation immediately.

It's what Frank is referring to as: "The only sure thing I see in the investment world right now," an opportunity for you to make a simple and safe trade in the currency markets, which could potentially pay you as much as 600% over the next few years.

But I have to warn you: Even though my rich friend Frank's research will likely help you make a lot of money, there's a good chance he will offend you in some way.

As one of Frank's followers (who's worth at least $10 million) says:
"Look, Frank's not going to sugar-coat anything. And if you're too thin-skinned to handle someone speaking the truth... well... keep listening to the morons on Wall Street. All I can tell you is, Frank is a breath of fresh air in the business world. He's a superb investment analyst who consistently comes up with out of the box ideas that can be worth millions".
Just look at some of the letters I've had to open recently, from people Frank has offended, and you'll see what I mean...
"Complete a**hole..."
"You may be right, but you are a complete asshole."
- Hank Peterson, Henderson, NV

"An instant dislike..."
"I saw you at the Agora conference in Vancouver a few years ago. I took an instant dislike to you. You made quite an impression to put it mildly. So out of curiosity I started reading your stuff. I would have much preferred to have discovered you were an obnoxious scoundrel. I said to myself Stansberry is such a jerk he couldn't be responsible for all this good stuff. But finally after long hesitation I've had to admit you are about the best out there at what you do."
- Stanley Ragle, Jacksonville, FL

"You embarrass yourself..."
"You are one gigantic asshole... Stick to financial matters where you have some expertise... You only embarrass yourself when you stray from that narrow field."
- Joel Arnold, Des Moines, IO

"Douche bag..."
"You are a douche bag of the highest order."
- William Fitzpatrick, Sacramento, CA
How does a guy like this still have any friends? And how does a guy like this have almost no turnover in his business?

Well, he doesn't act this way for affect. He's doing it because his approach works. He knows how to make money... and he's incredibly generous with the proceeds.

The thing is, Frank is tough on people and tough on business and investment opportunities for a reason...

And this is actually a big secret of Frank's success that I only began to understand a few years ago...

In short, to excel in the investment game requires that you do what other "right thinking" people WON'T do... at the exact moment when they least want to do it.

If you're sensitive to what other people think of you or if you naturally follow all the rules, it will be difficult for you to excel as an investor because you'll naturally be compelled to follow the herd.

A lot of people don't understand that about him, because they only see the big personality. They don't see the analysis or the results.

Well, you can accuse my rich friend Frank of a lot of things, but certainly never following the herd. He is never afraid to say things that most people would never voice publicly.

But you know what... people say similar things about Donald Trump... that he's an arrogant, obnoxious jerk.

Of course, he's also one of the most successful businessmen in the world and a multi-millionaire many times over, in large part because he's never afraid to speak his mind when he's right, or to go against the crowd.

The same with Mark Cuban, the billionaire owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks basketball team.

Cuban is loud, outspoken, and often obnoxious.

But he's also a great businessman and investor, who, much like Frank, doesn't care what other people think.

As Cuban recently said in an interview with U.S. News and World Report: "The more buzz, the less interest I have. If everyone is looking in one area, the best opportunities are somewhere else. You want to try to figure out where people are going to be looking in two or three years."

The point is, you might not like some of the things my rich friend Frank says, but I think you are absolutely crazy if you don't follow his recommendations on financial matters.

For example, here's something else Frank recently uncovered, which I haven't seen anyone else write about or talk about...

Why Barron's wrote
about my rich friend Frank

About a year and a half ago, Frank discovered something of a "glitch" in the financial markets (I told you Frank uncovers unusual opportunities you won't hear about anywhere else).

It has helped him and his inner circle group of investors make ridiculous amounts of money... and even resulted in Frank being the subject of a lead story in Barron's newspaper.
In short, my rich friend Frank discovered a connection between a series of figures that are reported by publicly traded companies... and a unique investment that is connected to these companies, which skyrockets as a result.
I realize that probably sounds a little confusing, so let me show you an example of what I mean.

Frank made this discovery in the filings of Wachovia Bank. Where most people saw nothing, Frank noticed what he calls this "irreconcilable glitch."

He mentioned it to the people in his inner circle. And I know of at least one person who made more than 700% after following Frank's advice.
Frank found a similar scenario with the firm Gannett Corp. One guy I know of made more than 196% as a result of cashing in on Frank's secret.
And Frank made similar discoveries in the filings of Fannie Mae and General Motors, too. This is what got the attention of Barron's, and they did a full write-up on his work in the March 12, 2008 edition.

People who followed Frank's findings made well over 120%. Again, they never had to touch the stock.

I know of no one else in the business world who is capable of doing this type of work. Believe me, it's way over my head.

It's genius, really... and again, it's typical Frank.

And what's great is, Frank recently found this "irreconcilable glitch" again, in a Connecticut firm, which does business all over the globe. As Frank told me recently:
"This is the easiest money in the world. No one is writing about this, maybe because people are either too stupid or lazy to believe me when I tell them how it works. But that's fine by me... I'll just keep cashing in."
Actually, this time some people are starting to pay attention. When Frank first mentioned this latest scenario, word quickly got to the former head trader of a subsidary of Bank of America, who is taking a definite interest.

I know I'm being a bit vague here. But for obvious reasons, I'm not going to go into any more detail. When you find something that is this profitable, you certainly don't want to share it with too many people.

But I would be happy to send you the details immediately.

Here's all you need to do...

Where the money goes...

So how, exactly, can you get connected to my rich friend Frank "Porter" Stansberry, and have the opportunity to capitalize on his insights?

The first thing you'll need to do is let me know you would like me to put you on Frank's subscriber list, to receive his monthly write-ups, in which he summarizes the best investment opportunities in the world, on and off Wall Street.

We call this monthly journal Stansberry's Investment Advisory.

Just so you know, we rarely advertise Frank's work in this manner, but we are now opening the door for new readers, who would like to receive Frank's work on a regular basis.

You see, the funding we receive enables us to do in-depth research on opportunities no one else is willing to spend the time or money to investigate.

We literally spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in our investigations. In recent months our analysts have traveled to Germany, Argentina, Uruguay, Nicaragua, Panama, Switzerland, London, California, New York, Florida, and dozens of places in between.

In short, if you'd like me to put you on Frank's distribution list, you will immediately get the full details on the two recent opportunities I've described. Knowing Frank, I strongly recommend you take advantage of these opportunities right away.

I'm talking about:
#1. An unusual trade in the currency markets that could net you 600%

#2. The full story on how a "glitch" in a certain company's financial filings could help you make 200% in the next few months... without touching the stock.
Both of these opportunities will be explained in full in Frank's recent "Research Reports." I'll send you these immediately.

In these Research write-ups, Frank outlines the entire situation, explains the rationale, and details exactly how to get in on these opportunities.

Then, it will be up to you if you want to participate. You are never under any obligation to get in on any of the deals Frank recommends.

You simply pick the opportunities you like... and pass on the ones you don't.

If you let me know you want to receive Frank's work, you'll receive a new Research Briefing on the FIRST FRIDAY OF EVERY MONTH (that's 12 over the course of the next year).

I'll also put you on the list to receive his "Digest" every afternoon, with the details on what he's currently considering... and the interesting opportunities he unearths.

For example, here's a note he sent out in his Digest on October 19th:
"Here's a deal that just landed on my desk... A big land-banking investment group bought a large condo building in southern Florida.

"They bought the condo because it includes a 10-acre adjacent site permitted for another tower. It's this land they want to own. That means, they need to dump 45 new and "unsold" units as soon as possible. They are asking $60 per square foot, which is about 25% of the current market price.

"According to the most respected real estate analyst in the region, this is the single best condo deal he has seen all year. You could earn 7%-8% a year before selling these units for around $250 per square foot in three to five years.

"These kinds of deals are what I've been waiting to see. More of them are coming, too. Lots of folks are going to make lots and lots of money on the rebound in the Florida condo market."
Before that, Frank wrote about a vaccine company we've followed for a long time, which has returned more than 203% since first being recommended. Frank also wrote about a very small gold-mining stock which has returned more than 780%.

He's written about the best beach-front real estate deal in the America's (where he's currently building an ocean-front home)... the best place to own farmland... how to safely (and legally) protect your money from the government... and so much more.

The question, of course, is not whether or not you will have an opportunity to make money by reading Frank's research... but whether or not you can tolerate his sometimes obnoxious behavior.

As one of Frank's reader's recently put it:
"Frank can rub you the wrong way. You have to be willing to hear about the new luxury car he bought, or his new vacation home, etc. He has no problem telling you how great he thinks he is and how stupid other people are. Generally I would agree with his position- just most people would use a little more humility and tact in their writings - so be forewarned.

"But I am one who does not have a problem with people saying how good they are if they can back it up."
And I can promise you that no one in the business world is as good as Frank at backing up big talk.

Here's what I mean...

"Up more than $1 million dollars..."

Lots of guys have good and bad streaks in the investment game, and Frank isn't perfect either, but I've never seen anyone with the ability to spot one unusual opportunity after another, and turn it into very large gains, no matter what is happening in the markets.

Frank is also far and away the smartest guy I know.

He might be a pain in the ass sometimes, but I've never met anyone as good at making money. And I'm certainly not the only one saying this. Just look at some of the fanmail I've opened recently on his behalf...
"I'm up more than $1,000,000 with the recommendation... Thanks!"
- Albert Griffin, West Chester, PA

"All my friends are down..."
"You are my Hero! I have been with you for about 3 years and you are truly exceptional. All my friends are down 45% to 55%, I in turn come skipping out of my office almost every day. My investment success I have to solely thank you for and your great team. Thank you VERY much."
- Uli Hessel, Sacramento, CA

"My net worth..."
"I have traded stocks for 27 years. I opened my first brokerage account when I was 18. I am very thrilled with what you have done for my net worth. My portfolio has roughly tripled... Thank you."
- Brian Bartram, Winter Park, FL

"I owe ya..."
"Amazing. Now looking at a 1,500%-2,000% return in four weeks. That's a killing! I owe ya!"
- Chris Landing, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

"Entrusted my money..."
"I entrusted my rather small retirement money with a financial planner who ended up losing me $10,000. So, I subscribed to your letter and with your recommendations, I have netted $134,000. I wish to thank you very much..."
- Louis Charles, Chula Vista, CA
I know, anyone can do well when the stock market is going up, but look at a few of the notes I've opened recently, when most of the world has been losing a fortune...
"A lot of money in 2008..."
"I would like to thank you for your excellent advice during 2008 and so far in 2009. In my opinion he is the best... I made a lot of $$ following his Capital One recommendation... thanks keep up the great work!"
- Bob Warrington, Gaithersburg, MD

"Should be mandatory reading..."
"Your investment ideas and commentary should be mandatory reading for anyone in Washington involved with the current debacle, as well as the morons on Wall Street whose overleveraged house of cards has now collapsed. Thanks for all you do for us."
- Bernard Torbin, Minneapolis, MN
The point is, my rich friend Frank can be obnoxious, and you're going to have to decide on your own if you can tolerate his behavior and occasional rants.

I'm sure Frank will offend you in some way at some time.

Will it be worth it?

For me... yes, without a doubt.

That's because the work Frank does is radically different from anything else you've seen before.

What I mean is, many of his ideas will probably seem really "out there," because they are not things that have yet been written about in mainstream media. But these are the types of ideas that have routinely helped Frank show his reader's the biggest gains.

For example, look at how Frank has been pissing some people off recently (while helping his readers make a heck of a lot of money at the same time)...

How to get hate mail

A few years ago, Frank published a series of "fake" letters to the shareholders of General Motors (GM).

Keep in mind... this was several years before GM's collapse.

In these letters, Frank pretended he was the Chairman of GM, and was for the first time revealing the disastrous state of that company. (I know it sounds a little crazy, but this is the type of thing my rich friend Frank likes to do... he loves to point out the morons and con artists that inhabit our financial system.)

I've never seen anyone else in the business world ever do anything like this. Sure, he could have been a little more humble about it, but you know what, this is what makes my rich friend Frank so refreshing.

We got a ton of hate mail as a result... but of course, as usual, Frank was exactly right. GM collapsed just as he predicted.

He wrote similarly confrontational letters about Goldman Sachs and the AIG bailout.

Last October, Frank announced to the public the real reason AIG had been bailed out:
"We'd wondered for years how Goldman avoided the huge mortgage-related writedowns that plagued the other investment banks. And now we know: Goldman's deal with AIG..."
Five months later, CNN interviewed Frank for their story, "Goldman's share of AIG bailout money draws fire," which ran on March 17th, 2009...

Hours later, as you probably know by now, this story was all over the mainstream media. Meanwhile, you would have had the chance to make as much as 5 times your money on the Goldman Sachs situation, like reader Mike Suazo did. Mike told us:

"I made a ton of money, and it was on a single trade. I listened to what you had to say about Goldman... I was stopped out after four days for a 525% gain! I'm ecstatic."

My rich friend Frank's radical work got the attention of CNN, who interviewed him on the Goldman Sachs-AIG government bailout story.

Barron's came calling too... the financial newspaper ran a lead story about Frank's research, calling it "great analysis" and "remarkably prescient..."

But you know what, even though Frank has a big ego, he doesn't give a damn what the mainstream press has to say about him or his work.

In fact, he refuses to have his photo published anywhere, and almost never grants interviews.

The point is: My rich friend Frank will always be miles ahead of what's being reported in the mainstream media.

So what is Frank saying to piss people off these days... and make a bunch of money for his readers at the same time?

How to get the U.S.
government to pay you 500%

Recently, my rich friend Frank has been bashing the current U.S. President, and the policies of his administration.

And let me tell you what, this really fires people up. I mean President Obama is a cult hero.

So we've had hundreds of people write angry letters to us, and many have said they never want to hear another word from us ever again... all because Frank is adamant that Obama is leading our country into a disaster. He even calls the actions of the administration "The End of America."

Of course, few people but Frank have the guts to say something like this. This is pretty much blasphemy to say that America's best days are behind it and that you have to protect your family.

And hey... listen... I wouldn't believe it if it was anybody but Frank saying it.

But here's the funny thing. Everything Frank has said would happen has happened.

Last year, for example, Frank said Obama was going to destroy the value of the U.S. dollar...

Well, gold is up from $700 to $1,100 per ounce, and the U.S. dollar has fallen against every major currency in the world. And Frank says we're just at the beginning of this trend. He's now saying there's going to be currency controls that forbid you from moving your money out of the country... and much higher taxes, just for starters.

But the only good news in all of this, says Frank, is that there's an easy and predictable way for savvy Americans to make a heck of a lot of money.

Yes, you should own some gold and silver (it's definitely not too late, according to Frank)... but he believes there's likely even more money to be made in one particular U.S. stock.

In short: Frank says there's one stock "you absolutely must own right now." It has soared 283% in the past five years... while most stocks have gotten absolutely crushed.

I'd never heard of this company until Frank told me about it. It's a very unusual company. They don't really have any overhead, or products for sale... heck, they have fewer than 25 full-time employees.

In short, what they do is provide an incredible service to the companies that will thrive as the U.S. dollar continues it's decent. There is no other company like this one on Earth. They have ZERO competition.

As my rich friend Frank told me when he pulled me aside the other day: "This is how wealthy people get rich in times of crisis."

How much money could you make?

There's no guarantee, of course, but Frank believes a gain of 1,000% is not out of the question. There is simply no other business like this in America.

I will give you the full details as soon as I put you on Frank's publication list. You'll learn everything you need to know.

The cost to receive Frank's newsletter (called Stansberry's Investment Advisory), by the way, is ridiculously cheap. For just $99 per year, you will receive Frank's monthly analysis on his best investment opportunity at the moment, plus Frank's Research on the three current opportunities I've mentioned here:

Of course, you'll also receive his newsletter on the 1st Friday of every month... and Frank's Digest, every afternoon by e-mail.

How to Make 800% on a Single Investment

Every year, my rich friend Frank finds opportunities to make extraordinary gains, no matter what is happening in the markets. For example…

592% on High Bandwidth: In early 1999, Frank knew AT&T would be broken up because of new fiber optic technologies. He recommended JDS Uniphase, the leading manufacturer of high bandwidth technologies. Since then shares of AT&T have collapsed, while Frank’s readers had the chance to make over 592% in less than two years.

270% on LEDs: In late 1999 and early 2000, Frank introduced readers to the importance of silicon carbide—which is used to make the wafer backbone of certain small lasers, or LEDs as they're called. Frank recommended Cree Research, whose LEDs are found in thousands of industrial applications, from cell phones to dashboard lights. Subscribers had the chance to make 270% in less than a year.

200% on Nuclear Energy: In October 2002—at the very bottom in stock prices—Frank explained why the bear market in energy stocks offered a great opportunity to invest in the field's technological leader: Exelon, the largest producer of nuclear energy in the United States. Readers who have taken our advice have had the chance to see more than 200% gains... and counting.

150% on Revolutionary Braces: In May of 2003, Frank introduced readers to a brilliant new technology to correct crooked teeth. Align Technology's "Aligners" use top-of-the-line computers and proprietary software to build clear plastic retainers that straighten teeth—without metal braces. Frank recommended Align around $8.00 a share. Subscribers had the opportunity to make more than a 150% gains in just a few months' time.

800% on New Drugs: In 2003 and 2004, many of Frank’s readers had the opportunity to make more money than they'd ever made in their entire lives, by following one of his recommendations. You see, through his connections, he learned about a company called Elan, which has developed what could be two of the best-selling prescription drugs of the next decade. Frank recommended it to his readers. One reader who bought made more than 800% gains from this recommendation alone.

90% on "New Steel": In March 2005, Frank found a company called Valhi, making what we he called "the new steel." In short, this titanium maker was looking at a booming trend, as titanium use skyrocketed in everything from cars, wide-body aeroplanes, jet fighters and other military equipment, industrial plants, and more. Frank recommended Valhi in March 2005, and readers have made nearly 90% gains so far.

166% on the Internet Toll Road: In 2006 and 2007, Frank found an unusual business called Akamai, which essentially offers a toll-road on the internet. This was Frank’s "top recommendation for 2006," and about a year and a half later, he closed it out in 2007 for a 166% gain.

700% in a terrible year: In 2008, when most people were completely panicked, and were losing as much as HALF of their portfolio, Frank found a unique way to make money on two government-sponsored entities… which 60% and 64%. He also found many opportunities to “short” bad stocks, and helped readers make as much as 700% on a single investment.

114% (so far) in 2009: At the beginning of this year, Frank pounded the table about how Americans had a “once in a lifetime” opportunity in the stock market. And his readers have had the chance to cash in on gains of 50%, 96%, 54%, 83%, and 114%… in this year alone.

What will Frank find next year?

It’s impossible say, but I can pretty much guarantee it will be a handful of opportunities you won’t hear about anywhere else, which can safely make you a heck of a lot of money.
Why do we charge so little for Frank's work?

Well, the truth is, Frank doesn't care if we make money with his newsletter. It's a very small part of his business, and much more important to him is the exercise of recording all of his investment research and putting his best ideas down on paper every month.

Also, I think this is an important point you should consider...

There aren't very many people that don't have to work anymore but still work hard. But Frank is one of those people.

He's been offered several million-dollar plus jobs on Wall Street and turned them all down. He's got enough money in the bank that he never has to work again. But he loves stirring the pot. He loves exposing the frauds in the capitalist system for what they really are... and the challenge of finding great ideas. And, of course, he loves being right and making money.

So if you're looking for good financial research and ideas, I believe the only guy you want to trust is the guy who doesn't have to sell it. And there are very few people like that out there.

That's why Frank can get away with sending you his best ideas on basically a break-even basis.

Sometimes he'll tell you about a stock... or bond. Other times it may be something much more unconventional, like a currency investment, a precious metals play, a master limited partnership, a real estate investment trust, or even a land deal or other business opportunity.

For Stansberry's Investment Advisory, Frank makes sure all of these opportunities are easy for you to get in on, no matter how much money you have in the bank.

And remember, every afternoon, Frank (with the help of the researcher's he has on his payroll) will send you his insights on other financial and business opportunities he comes across.

Will you find that Frank's work is right for you?

There's no way for me to tell.

But I can assure you of two things:
1) Frank does research that is unlike anything else I've ever seen in the business world

2) I'm pretty sure Frank will offend you in some way. If you are easily offended, or have any concern about being politically correct, please do me a favor and DO NOT ask to be put on Frank's distribution list.
Also: If you decide to subscribe to his advisory letter and you don't like it for any reason, he has no problem returning your money.

You see, Frank doesn't need any more readers.

In fact, when I told Frank I was going write a letter to endorse his work, he tried to talk me out of it, saying that he didn't need more readers.

So what I told him was that I was so confident his work would be the best you'd ever read that you could try it for six (6) months. And if you don't agree that he is the absolute smartest financial analyst you've ever read, we will give you 100% of your money back. No questions asked.

In other words, if you don't agree with me that Frank's the best investment analyst in the world that's fine. You have nothing to lose.

I have to warn you though...

Why this may NOT work for you

It's going be hard at first for you to take Frank's recommendations seriously. Because a lot of the things he's going tell you will seem absolutely outlandish.

I mean, you've got to remember, when Frank wrote in the first issue of his newsletter that AT&T would go bankrupt, that was in 1999. AT&T was still on top of the world. In fact, AT&T, along with its spin off Lucent, were the most widely held stocks in America. And Frank said both of them were "going to zero."

You know I'm sure there aren't many people who thought that he would be right... but as usual, he was. AT&T and Lucent both collapsed.

And that same thing happens time and time and time again. People say Frank is "obnoxious"... or just a "loudmouthed jerk," or whatever.

But he's usually RIGHT... and people following his recommendations have the chance to get rich.
So if you start reading his letter, just be prepared that you're going have to keep an open mind.
But the thing is, once you've made that switch, you're going have a better life. It happened to me and I know it could happen for you too.

And then, some day in the future, you're going find yourself reading about Frank's latest "crazy" idea. How he told off the president of the golf club or how he embarrassed the president of General Motors... or some other Wall Street con artist.

A friend of yours will say something like, "Can you believe that jerk?"

Then, you'll just smile and say, "Yeah, I can believe him. He's helped me make a lot of money."

The point is, you may have subscribed to an investment research letter before, but I promise you've never subscribed to anything like Frank's newsletter.

Let me know if you want me to put you on his subscriber list, and receive everything I've described, right away.

Sincerely,



Mike Palmer
Senior Researcher, Stansberry's Investment Advisory
