Why We May Be
Closing The Doors


A recent decision by Porter Stansberry could end the most popular investment research deal we've ever made.



Dear S&A Subscriber,

This may be the last time we ever open the Private Wealth Alliance in its current form.

I realize what a surprise this might be... given how it's helped so many readers make an absolute fortune since we first opened it in 2006.

For example, Harry D. in Ohio has made 21 times his money.

"I have made literally hundreds of thousands of dollars," says Cody K. in Seattle, and Aram C. calls it, "one of the best investments I've ever made."
But the fact is... S&A founder Porter Stansberry said in a meeting just this week that he does not want to sell any "lifetime" subscriptions for less than $1,000.
That's about DOUBLE the current cost.

The thing is... as S&A publisher, I can tell you the S&A Private Wealth Alliance is by far the single best deal we offer. In fact, if I weren't the publisher... it's what I would pay for with my own money.

You see, it's a dirt-cheap way to receive our most comprehensive research letters... for LIFE.

As Porter wrote in the charter invitation, back on November 3, 2006:
These are the kinds of ideas you should be following with the bulk (about 90%) of your investment portfolio. This is the absolute best way to grow your money safely.
As it turns out – he was right. Just look at Raymond M., who writes, "I'm up over $100K in less than a year." Or Charles B., who quadrupled his portfolio.
But now Porter is insisting on doubling the price... and perhaps closing the program entirely to new members.
The point is: I can tell you one thing for certain right now...
The next time you see the products in this deal available in a lifetime offer, it will definitely cost at least $1,000. It may even cost as much as $1,200 to $1,500... almost TRIPLE the usual cost.
The good news is, Porter is allowing me to offer this deal at least one more time... ending soon... for less than $1,000.

In other words: This is the LAST TIME you'll ever see the Private Wealth Alliance this cheap. Whatever else happens... we'll never repeat this price.

So if you're interested, I urge you to get in immediately... while you still can... and save yourself hundreds of dollars in the short term, and thousands of dollars over the years to come.

Let me explain exactly what the Private Wealth Alliance is – and how much it will cost – so you can decide if it's right for you...

S&A's All-Time Highest Returns

When Porter Stansberry first began our business back in 1999, he quickly became known throughout the industry for his success in technology stocks...

** 592% on JDSU ** 207% on ELN
** 271% on CREE ** 204% on ADBE
** 107% on IMCL ** 199% on BRCM

But gradually... he realized his readers wanted to hear about opportunities from a wider spectrum – not just technology, but real estate... oil and gold... healthcare... penny stocks... dividends... foreign stocks... and options, to name a few.

So he launched more than 10 investment newsletters... hired top analysts for each sector (including a former hedge fund manager, medical Ph.D. and professional trader), and made S&A one of the most successful independent financial research firms in America... with readers in 127 countries.

(One subscriber wrote in to say just a SINGLE pick had made him a millionaire... a note Porter has never forgotten.)

Then one day Porter got an idea...

In short: He decided to create a unique deal for subscribers... a way to receive the "best of the best" of the investment opportunities he saw each week... from across the spectrum of the financial markets.

Little did Porter realize... the deal would offer opportunities that resulted in some of the highest gains we've ever published...
  • Like a penny-stock gold miner that rose 192%.


  • A 273% gain on a rare Government-issued coin.


  • And a $3,700 special payout from Coca-Cola.
We call this deal The S&A Private Wealth Alliance.

As I'll explain – by getting in, you receive our 6 most popular and comprehensive investment research advisories... for life.

In fact, the way it works, this deal can save you tens of thousands of dollars while offering you 50 to 100 TIMES the profit potential of what you're currently getting as an S&A subscriber.

As Brian B. in Miami writes, "My portfolio has roughly tripled."

"Looking at a 1,500-2,000% return in four weeks... That's a killing! Porter, I owe ya," writes John D. in Raleigh.

In a nutshell: By becoming a Private Wealth Alliance member, you'll never pay a single penny more in subscription fees while receiving a package of the advisory letters that built our business... and which could make you a killing, year after year.

Frankly, we've designed this deal so that once you're in... you may decide to never buy another investment newsletter again.

But as I said earlier, Porter wants to double the price, and perhaps close the program in its current form to new members.

Again: the next time you see the products in this deal available in a lifetime offer, it will definitely cost at least $1,000. It may even cost as much as $1,500... almost TRIPLE the usual cost.

The good news for you is... by accepting this invitation, you can get in before that happens, and save yourself literally hundreds of dollars.

You see, Porter has agreed to offer the S&A Private Wealth Alliance in its current form, one last time, ending shortly… at a dirt-cheap price.

By getting in now, you'll save what amounts to tens of thousands of dollars in the years ahead.

So what does the S&A Private Wealth Alliance offer, exactly?

As you're about to see – it gives you a lifetime subscription, to the 6 most popular, comprehensive research advisories we publish, including...

Retirement Millionaire

In case you haven't heard of it yet – this recently-launched monthly advisory letter has quickly become one of the most followed letters in the industry.

It's run by Dr. David Eifrig ("Doc")... a former Wall Street trader who made such a killing in the 1980s he retired... and has since become a "Retirement Anarchist" – sharing 20+ years of secrets he's found on how to pocket easy money...

"Netted over $22,000. Thanks, Doc."
- Y. Hammill, Boston
For example: Extra money from the Social Security Administration... money from the government to start your own business... free vacations... free dinners... free golf... free phone service... free airline tickets... and more.

Plus – Doc Eifrig has found dozens of "loopholes" in the financial world, like: how to get paid thousands of dollars just to stay in your current house... how to make 15% a year on gold bullion dividends... how to pocket overnight cash from stocks without owning a single share... and much, much more.
  • Cost: $99 per year.

  • For Private Wealth Alliance members: FREE.
You'll also receive...

Inside Strategist

This weekly trading advisory letter uses a unique database to carefully track all insider buying and selling... for unbelievably quick gains.

"This is the best advisory letter I have ever used. My broker may as well have an unlisted number."

- Paul Madison, Chicago
For example, in 2008 alone, while the stock market crashed, we saw gains of 100% on Smithfield Foods (in 2 weeks)... 100% on Chesapeake Energy... 100% on Williams Companies... 64% on Regions Financial (in 6 days)... and more.

As reader Garry Winston writes, "[Its] recommendations have helped me rake in over $100,000 in total gains. I've made over 100% on two picks, and doubled my money on three different occasions."
  • Cost: $199 per year.

  • For Private Wealth Alliance members: FREE.
Plus, you'll receive...

S&A Resource Report

By following this monthly advisory letter, last year alone you could have made 100% in 44 days on gold... 100% in 5 months on oil... and 100% in 2 months on silver.

Run by veteran geologist Matt Badiali, S&A Resource Report will give you an on-the-ground perspective to making a fortune in natural commodities...

"I'm up $100,000"

- Charles C. in Charlotte, NC – after buying one of Matt's
gold miner picks
For example, recently Matt found 3 gold and silver miners secretly sponsored by the Chinese government. Almost no one in the industry had heard of these small stocks before... but two went on to DOUBLE over the next 3 months.

To find these rare opportunities, Matt relies on an extensive network of contacts in the energy field – including his close friend Cactus, a Texas oil wildcatter who has been profiled by the London Times.

One of his contacts, for example, tipped him off to Veritas, an oil technology firm bought out just 9 months later for 101% gains.
  • Cost: $99 per year.

Not to mention...

Porter Stansberry's
Investment Advisory

This is the monthly research advisory that launched our business back in 1999, written by our founder, Porter Stansberry.

5 of Porter's picks have made the S&A Hall of Fame, our top 10 most successful picks of all-time:
592% on JDSU...
271% on Cree...
233% on Celgene...
215% on ID Biomedical...
and 207% on Elan.
Recently profiled by Barron's (in a front-page article) for predicting the collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac... Porter has consistently shown readers some of the biggest gains on S&A record, no matter where the market is headed...

For example, in 2008 – while most people were losing their shirts... we received hundreds of emails praising his predictions...
"Porter is becoming a sort of prophet on my trading desk. I'm up almost 300% in 2 months! What a call." (John R., Bolinas, CA.)

"I made a ton of money. I listened to what you had to say, Porter, and made a 525% gain!" (Marty S., Des Moines.)
Best of all, each of Porter's issues features a "No Risk Portfolio"... stocks you can buy today and hold forever... while collecting huge annual returns.
  • Cost: $99 per year.

And that's not all. You'll also get...

True Wealth

Vice President at one of the world's biggest investment firms, says:

"I've been in the investment business for almost 24 years. The way Steve thinks is absolutely top-notch. His newsletter recommendations have become a major arrow in my quiver that I am able to utilize in my own clients' accounts. Steve's True Wealth ranks at the very top."
- Gary Munson
Senior VP of Investments
In this monthly advisory letter, alternative investment expert Dr. Steve Sjuggerud finds little-known ways to pay for your retirement, without taking big risks.

For example, Dr. Sjuggerud found a Government bond that paid 9%... a rare gold investment created by the government (up 273%)... and a Federal policy that could help you raise cash, immediately.

Among Dr. Sjuggerud's incredible track record are gains of 392%... 273%... 206%... 107%... 103% and dozens more.
  • Cost: $99 per year.

  • For Private Wealth Alliance members: FREE.
Plus, you'll receive...

The 12% Letter

Editor Tom Dyson spends weeks traveling the world in search of the best-paying stocks on the market for this income research letter.

If you have an online brokerage account, you can collect $740 from McDonald's in 10 minutes.
For example, last year he detailed a way to make up to hundreds of thousands of dollars on ordinary stocks... beginning with just a single share... by getting it via the U.S. Postal Service.

As Stewart M. wrote us, "The 12% Letter is just what I needed. I average 7 checks per month for about $140,000 per year. Thanks!"

Another opportunity you'll learn about in The 12% Letter is how to collect a "10-minute dividend." As Tom writes, "You can receive hundreds of dollars from over 2,500 companies, in just 10 minutes, through any online brokerage account."
  • Cost: $99 per year.

  • For Private Wealth Alliance members: FREE.
To sum up: Membership to the S&A Private Wealth Alliance gives you a lifetime subscription – free – to the 6 most popular, comprehensive and longest-running research advisories we publish.

The only catch is, as I said earlier... after this offer ends... the next time you'll see these products available in a lifetime package, it will cost at least $1,000.

So if you're interested, I urge you to hurry.

In fact, you'll save what amounts to a small fortune...

How to get more than
$3,470 worth of S&A research

If you add up all the research products I've just described (our most popular six advisory letters), you'll see it would cost you $694 to receive it all for 1 year.

Over 2 years, it would cost you $1,388.

Over 5 years – $3,470.

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 S&A Private Wealth Alliance right now – before this offer closes – you'll pay LESS than what it costs for a single year... to receive all these products for the next 2 years, 5 years and beyond... an entire lifetime.

Let me repeat: For LESS than the price of a single year's subscription to these 6 products, you'll get them all... for as long as you want.

As a result, you'll save thousands of dollars on our work over the years.

More importantly, you'll receive our absolute most comprehensive research, the kind of opportunities that could make you over $100,000 a year... far more than you'd ever make on a single advisory letter.
  • Just ask Louis C., who says, "I have netted $134,000."


  • Or Mick S., who says, "Superb ideas. Doubled my money on one play."


  • Or Cody K., who writes, "I am a happy Private Wealth Alliance member. I have made literally hundreds of thousands of dollars."
In all, once you join the Private Wealth Alliance, you'll get our 6 most popular research products: Retirement Millionaire... Inside Strategist... the S&A Resource Report... and the newsletters that built our business: 12% Letter, True Wealth and Porter Stansberry's Investment Advisory – all at no extra charge, forever.

And remember, while there's no commitment to stay with us... your subscription never expires... and can be passed on to your children.

But before I explain specific details on how to activate your Private Wealth Alliance membership, let me tell you about one more exciting benefit...

Within 15 minutes of accepting your
membership, you'll receive access to:


3 URGENT REPORTS

As soon as you become a Private Wealth Alliance member – you'll receive instant online access to our most important current research reports.

These offer what we consider to be the most valuable investment opportunities in the world right now. You can take advantage of them right away.

Report #1: The Federal Gold "Loophole" of a Lifetime
  • Valued at $199

  • For Private Wealth Alliance members: FREE.
Recently, Matt Badiali uncovered an extraordinary situation in the gold market, which I recommend you look into immediately...

In short – a U.S. government-created program allows you to own of some of the most valuable gold properties in the world, for just a fraction of their true worth on the open markets.

What this means for you is the opportunity to make multiple times your original investment with very little risk.

For example... last year on February 24, government records show that one man, Chet W. in Maryland, used this opportunity to make $12,900 in a single day. One group of investors I know of have made 2,015% so far.

What's great about this U.S. government-created opportunity is that you can cash in directly through the stock market, with a unique type of investment.

Report #2: An Unusual Currency Trade that Could Net You 600%
  • Valued at $199

  • For Private Wealth Alliance members: FREE.
Over the past few months, Porter Stansberry has been investigating what he calls: "The only sure thing in the investment world right now."

You see – when the government goes deep into debt (as it has over the past year), there's a little-known type of U.S. currency (created by the U.S. government) that absolutely skyrockets in price.

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

This time around, Porter estimates it will return 600% over the next 5 years.

"It's one of the absolute safest things you can do with your money right now," he writes. Porter has even invested a large part of his own personal savings into this currency trade...

Report #3: This Financial "Glitch" Could Make You 200%
  • Valued at $199

  • For Private Wealth Alliance members: FREE.
Not long ago, we discovered something of a "glitch" in the financial markets.

It resulted in S&A Research being profiled by Barron's, and has shown the folks in our Private Wealth Alliance a small killing over the past year...

In a nutshell, there's a little-known connection between a certain set of data that gets released by publicly traded companies... and a unique investment connected to these companies, which soars as a result.

We first made this discovery in the filings of Wachovia Bank. One man has made more than 700% following our advice.

When we found this "glitch" in the firm Gannett Corp, another fellow made more than 196% as a result of cashing in on this secret.

More recently, we found this opportunity again, in a Connecticut firm. We expect you could at least double your money or better this time... by following the details outlined in our full report.

But that's not all you'll receive as a Private Wealth Alliance member...

You'll also get another exciting benefit, among the most valuable features of your membership...

4 times a year, you'll receive
our members-only S&A Select

This benefit – the S&A Select – could show some of the highest returns you'll see, year after year. And it's exclusively for Private Wealth Alliance members.

As you'll see, this isn't a new newsletter. Or a special report. It's something much different and potentially far more lucrative...

In short, 4 times a year, you'll receive our single best high-end investment idea of the moment... a chance to at least double your money or better. In fact, these are the kind of opportunities we typically offer in our $1,000-$5,000 products.

For example, on February 24th of last year, you could have received our play on a gold mining firm – Agnico Eagle – which returned 100% in just 2 days.

And in the same month – you could've also received our unique play on the retail chain Rite-Aid, currently up 241%... which you'd have made without touching the stock or a single option.

We can't say exactly when you'll receive these ideas... because we only send one to you when we're absolutely sure it's one of our year's best opportunities.

Some months you may receive 2 ideas in a row... other months, none.

But it's worth the wait... because the readers who've followed these rare high-end opportunities over the years have made a killing.
  • As Joe S. in Ohio writes, "I made 1,017%. WOW."


  • "I made $20,000 last week," says Rick Y. in Santa Fe.
Remember: Each time you receive a new S&A Select recommendation... it's often critical you act immediately.

(Of course, we'll send you quarterly updates for every investment opportunity in S&A Select... so you'll know exactly when to add to your position or exit.)
  • Valued at $499

  • For Private Wealth Alliance members: FREE.
Bottom-line: When you look at everything you get in the Private Wealth Alliance, you can see why Porter Stansberry wants the price to be $1,000 or more.

Here's EVERYTHING you'll receive as an
S&A Private Wealth Alliance Member:

In short: As a new member of The S&A Private Wealth Alliance, you'll receive our 6 most popular research advisories...

- Barry T., Lake Charles, LA

"I am extremely satisfied. Not only do you deliver substantial and low risk returns, but I have gleaned much investment wisdom simply by reading your letters, and I feel a much wiser investor than ever before."
- John B., Frankfurt, KY

"I just joined the Private Wealth Alliance this morning. It was a no-brainer since I was already subscribing to Resource Report, PSIA, and 12%, and was considering buying Inside Strategist. My trading account is growing. Keep up the good work."
- Gabe F., Helena, MT

"Your service has helped to "supercharge" my returns. The Private Wealth Alliance is a tremendous value!"
- James A., Elko, NV

  • Report #2: An Unusual Currency Trade that Could Net You 600% (Value: $199)


  • Report #3: This Financial "Glitch" Could Make You 200% (Value: $199
  • )
Plus, you'll get...
  • S&A Select. 4 times per year, we'll send you a high-end opportunity we believe will double your money or better. (Value: $499)
Your first year of Alliance membership alone is worth $694. But the fact is... by taking advantage of this deal, you'll pay even LESS than that price.

And the fact is – you'll NEVER see the price this low again. EVER.

Here's what I mean...

Double the Current Price

As I mentioned – because we've added several new products to the S&A Private Wealth Alliance since 2006, Porter wants the price to be $1,000 or more.

In fact, I can tell you one thing for certain right now...
The next time you see the products in this deal available in a lifetime offer, it will definitely cost at least $1,000. It may even cost as much as $1,200 to $1,500... almost TRIPLE the usual cost.
That said, by getting in before this offer ends... you'll make a one-time payment of just $650.

And remember: The price will never be this cheap again. EVER.

Frankly, I think it's a steal at $650...

Consider: It would cost you $694 to receive all of the research I've described here for just a single year... (and that's not even including the S&A Select).

But when you join the S&A Private Wealth Alliance before this offer closes, you'll pay LESS than what it costs for a single year... to receive all these products for an entire lifetime.

Simply put, you'll save hundreds of dollars...

And of course – you'll save what amounts to tens of thousands on our research in the future... as your subscriptions continue year after year...

In short: This is easily the best price you'll ever see again for S&A Private Wealth Alliance... so I hope you take advantage of it before it expires.

Here's how the whole thing will work...

1) You will make a one-time payment today of $650 for membership.

2) Try your Private Wealth Alliance Membership for the next 30 DAYS – to make sure you're comfortable with it.

If you're not completely happy... simply let us know, and you'll receive a prompt refund, minus only a 10% handling fee.

3) Each year after, you will pay a maintenance fee of $149, to cover rising costs of printing, postage and customer service.

Without this fee – we'd never be able to make such an offer. But that's all you will pay, ever, to receive everything I described above... a combined total value of over $3,000 over the next 5 years.

Is it worth it?

Well... Richard D. in Boston, for one, says:
"When I was offered the Private Wealth Alliance for $650/yr I had to read it more than once to believe it. Then I had to consider if Porter had lost his mind. It's the greatest deal I've ever seen for investment advisories."
Or consider Jim M. in Binghamton, New York, who says:
"The S&A Private Wealth Alliance provides excellent value for my money... and provides a wide range of opportunities. I would definitely recommend PWA."
But it gets even better...

When you join the Private Wealth Alliance right now, you'll also receive...

FREE BONUS:
Penny Stock Specialist

Beginning this year, we plan to launch another new investment advisory letter – which offers a higher potential than anything we've released in years...

It's called Penny Stock Specialist, a twice-monthly newsletter run by Frank Curzio, a man who's been on Fox Business News and CNBC for his penny stock success.

"I can't believe you snagged Frank Curzio. I can tell you the guy is one of the best. He knows small caps like nobody else. His advice has made me a lot of money."
– Steve W., Tucson
Incredibly, over the past 2 years, Frank has amassed a PERFECT track record in the penny stock sector. A $5,000 stake in each of his picks would have made you nearly $110,000 in the past 18 months alone... without a single loss.

With gains like 190%... 140%... 138%... and 125%, Frank recently arrived at S&A after 15 years as a small stock research analyst for the biggest hedge fund manager in America, and as the host of The Real Wall Street podcast – one of the most widely listened-to broadcasts in the business.
  • Cost: $199 per year.

  • For Private Wealth Alliance members: FREE.
What it comes down to is this: We've built a very stable business over the past 10 years. We now have subscribers in every U.S. state and 127 countries around the world. We're one of the fastest-growing investment research firms.

"I'm up more than $1,000,000."

- Albert G. in Virginia –
after buying just a single stock
he heard about from Porter.
The next time you see these products in a lifetime package, it will cost as much as $1,500... almost 3 times higher. So if you're interested – now is definitely the best time to sign up.
