| Dear Friend,
If you're the type of investor who enjoys doubling, even TRIPLING your money in a matter of weeks, then I have something important to show you.
Over the past 20 years, I've developed a little-known but HUGELY profitable trading strategy that combines...
... conservative income investing (searching for under-priced stocks that pay dividends of 7%, 8%, even 10% or more) with...
... the more aggressive technique of option trading (buying low-priced options on the same high-dividend income stocks).
I call this strategy Extreme Income Investing.
Since I introduced this new trading strategy to the general public just five years ago, the results have been simply spectacular.
If you had followed my advice, you could have
turned $10,000 into $250,000 in just 49 days!
It's eerie how similar today is to the winter of 2006: The market had tanked the previous March and had been climbing steadily since, up 1,000 points on the Dow.
Many investment advisors were insisting a major crash was just around the corner. But I knew there were HUGE opportunities in some under-priced dividend stocks.
On January 4, 2006, I told my subscribers to scoop up of shares of AT&T (T), then selling for just $24.98 a share. At the time, AT&T was offering a respectable dividend of 5.4% -- and I knew that investors would soon be buying these shares with both hands.
What's more, I told my subscribers that they should gobble up some April $27.50 call options on AT&T that were selling for a nickel a piece.
That's right: 5 cents!
Here's what happened...  | By February 7th, the value of the calls had skyrocketed to 45 cents each. I told subscribers to take profits on HALF of their position for a gain of 800% in a month.
| | Then, on February 14th, when the price of the calls had shot up to $1.30 each, I recommended we sell half of what we had left -- for a gain of 2,500% in just 45 days. That was enough to turn every $10,000 invested into $250,000!
| | A week later, the value of the options had fallen to $1.20 each... so I recommended we sell out the balance of our position for a gain of 2,400%. |
Now, I admit this was unusual. We don't usually see 2,500% profits in two months. A more realistic scenario is the following...
485% profit in just 21 days --
without worrying about a margin call!
Back in May of 2009, I spotted an incredible opportunity in a little-known natural gas pipeline stock: Kinder Morgan Management (KMR).
The company had been beaten down by the credit crisis. The stock itself had fallen from $57 a share the previous September down to $40.
But I knew KRM was paying a pretty decent dividend, around 6.5% for the last several years, and that the stock would likely recover when investors started looking for that yield.
As a result, I recommended subscribers buy KMR stock for around $41 a share... and, as always, I also recommended some dirt-cheap call options on the same stock.
On May 11, 2009, I told subscribers that they could snatch up Kinder Morgan Management August $45 calls for just 35 cents each -- a HUGE bargain.
Just as I suspected, once investors realized that KMR would continue paying its generous dividend of 6% or more, the stock started rising again -- to $46 per share by early June. That was a gain on the stock of 10.6% in a little over two months.
When the price of the calls hit $2.05 each on June 2, I told subscribers to sell half of their position -- for a gain of 485.7% in just 21 days.
We continued to watch as KMR climbed. By July 20th, the calls had only gained another 15 cents, so I recommended that subscribers sell a quarter of their position (half their remaining half) for $2.20 each, a gain of 528.57%... then, when the price of the call options started falling, we sold the final quarter when the price hit $1.50 on July 29th, a gain of "only" 328.57%.
Total average gain: 457% in 70 days!
If you had followed my advice in May, you could have turned $10,000 into $45,700 in just two months!
Why you can make HUGE
profits investing in income stocks!
I've been studying different investment strategies and approaches my entire adult life.
After earning a Ph.D. in economics from George Washington University, I went on to work as an economic analyst for the CIA... founded the award-winning newsletter, Forecasts & Strategies... taught economics at Columbia... and have written more than 20 books on economics, finance and investing, including a few bestsellers and my latest edition of "The Making of Modern Economics" that garnered the prestigious Choice Book Award for 2009 for Outstanding Academic Title.
But despite this extensive investing and economics background, I only really discovered what I call Extreme Income Investing in the early 1990s.
That's when I noticed that high-dividend-paying stocks are not the slow-growing duds many people (myself included!) believed them to be. Instead, I discovered that under-priced income stocks often provided greater capital appreciation than the average stock, not less.
One day in early 1991, I was looking in the financial pages of the Wall Street Journal and came across a closed-end income fund called "High Yield Fund," symbol YLD.
I couldn't believe my eyes: The fund was yielding a mouth-watering 23% -- almost 2% a month!
At one time, YLD had sold for $10 a share... but due to the S&L crisis of the 1980s, it had fallen all the way down to just $4 a share.
So in early 1991, I made my first income recommendation: Buy YLD at between $4 and $4.25. It was a good call.
Over the next two years, as the economy recovered and the banking crisis subsided, YLD rose to over $6 a share. Meanwhile, during those two years, my subscribers continued to earn about a dollar a year in dividends (8 cents per month), or 23% yield. After two years, they had doubled their money -- mind you, on an income investment!
(We continue to make handsome gains on income stocks: For example, in early 2009 I recommended a "boring" bookstore stock, Barnes & Noble (BKS), because of its dividend. It jumped 38.1% in just over three months. Three months later, I recommended Alliance Bernstein Holding (AB), and it jumped 16.5% in 38 days.)
But then I took this insight one step further: I discovered that I could also use this strategy of investing in under-priced income stocks to trade call options on those same stocks. And that's when this strategy really began to bear fruit!
I found that by applying some simple, but extremely powerful metrics to the universe of high dividend-paying stocks, I could identify call options that could jump 100%, 300%, 500%, one time even 2,500%... and in a matter of just weeks, not years.
Of course, I've also had some losers. And it goes without saying that past performance does not guarantee future results.
But overall, this trading strategy bests almost any other type of investing hands down! What's more, since we ALWAYS use stop-losses, we're able to reap windfall profits while also limiting your risk.
In 2009, I recommended 50 stock or option positions, an average of four per month. Of those 50 recommendations, 37 (74%) were winners -- and the average option recommendation gained 119.5% in 59 days.
Let me ask you: How many other investments offer you the potential of more than DOUBLING your money in 2 months? That's why I call it: EXTREME Income Investing!
What's more, these types of highly specialized options give you leverage that's completely one-sided -- in your favor.
They're one of the few investments that let you turn a small grubstake into a fortune without risking more than you invest. You can lose the entire premium you pay, but never a penny more.
Call options on this Israeli cell phone company could turn every $5,000 invested into $13,300
I recently returned from a trip to Israel. Whenever I travel, I always look for new investment opportunities that are completely "off the map" and I found one in Israel of all places.
It's one of the country's leading cell phone providers with nearly 3.3 million subscribers. With its technologically advanced infrastructure, it offers cell and landline phone services as well additional services in music, video, mobile offices, and so on.
Now, in the U.S. market many of the cell service providers are suffering from declining profitability or negative earnings. But not in Israel -- and not this company. It hasn't reported a quarterly loss in more than three years -- and with the 2008 market crash, that's saying something.
Indeed, financial metrics are strong. Quarterly earnings are up 21% on rising revenue. Operating margins top 26%. And management is earning an astonishing 307% return on equity.
But that's not the reason why I recommend this company: It's paying an eye-popping dividend of 10.1%.
The dividend is secure. This telecom leader earned $11.09 per share this year and is projected to earn $11.61 per share next year. That means the stock currently trades at less than three times prospective earnings.
Make no mistake: When investors discover they can get a fat 10% yield on an underpriced stock like this, the price of the stock is going to skyrocket.
When that happens, every $5,000 you invest in their CALL options could hand you profits of $5,000, $10,000, even $15,000 or more.
The last time I recommended a call option on this stock, on December 8, 2009, we took 166.6% profits in just 6 days!
This is a classic example of a high-income triple-play: double-digit dividend... high potential of capital appreciation on the stock... AND... a potential killing on low-priced call options.
Fortunately, I expect there to be a slew of HUGE winners this year. For example...
Potentially earn 320% profits in 90
days with another natural gas play
Natural gas companies often pay outstanding dividends -- and we've had really good luck with their call options. One of my recent recommendations has been a solid money-maker for us, a virtual ATM machine.
It's a retail propane distributor that serves approximately 1.3 million residential, commercial, and wholesale customers from approximately 1,200 propane distribution locations in all 50 states.
But get this: Its dividend has been growing steadily year after -- 7.4% in 2008, 8.1% in 2008, and a whopping 9.7% in 2009.
Not surprisingly, this stock has seen both capital appreciation as well as HUGE profits on its call options.
Last October, I recommended that subscribers buy February $40 out-of-the-money calls on this stock for just 25 cents each.
Just one week later, on October 5, 2009, these call options more than doubled in value. They hit 60 cents a piece. I recommended that we sell half of our position -- for a gain of 140% in a week.
We held on to a chunk of them until early January... when we sold them for $1.05 a piece. That was a gain of 320% in 90 days.
But here's the really good news: We're not done yet! You could still make a pot of money with similar stocks -- and with the right out-of-the-money options. We're off to a spectacular start in 2010
with a 304.1% gain on this vice stock!
Now that the credit crisis has subsided, the economy is on the mend, and stocks have rallied sharply, what's in store for the rest of 2010?
Well, many of my gold bug friends believe we are in for a major correction. I think that's possible... but not likely. (The slight sell-off from January has already bounced back!)
The bears are correct in pointing out that the United States still faces serious challenges that could derail the nascent bull market -- huge deficits and unfunded liabilities, increased tax and regulatory burdens, consumer and business debt crises, and expensive wars abroad.
But while we still face serious problems, I see better opportunities ahead. And so far, I've been right on the money -- literally.
We've had 13 winners in a row with our stock recommendations. And in just the first twelve weeks of 2010, we've closed out 23 trades, 20 winners and 3 losses: | ... 8% gain... | ... 103% gain... | ... 8% gain... | | ... 2% gain... | ... 93% gain... | ... -5% loss... | | ... 176% gain... | ... 12% gain... | ... 8% gain... | | ... 136% gain... | ... 13% gain... | ... 8% gain... | | ... -60% loss... | ... 3% gain... | ... 1% gain... | | ... 65% gain... | ... 3% gain... | ... -33% loss... AND | | ... 23% gain... | ... 10% gain... | ... 304% gain... | | ... 13% gain... | ... 167% gain... |
|
Let me tell you about this last one because it was a recent recommendation (we sold the stock on February 2, 2010).
It's the parent company of a smokeless tobacco company. (So-called "vice stocks" are usually top performers during recessions.)
These industries are strictly regulated. That throws up high barriers to entry. What's more, institutional investors often bypass them due to their lack of respectability.
That means that these companies, which pay solid dividends, are often seriously mispriced.
For example, this company saw third-quarter earnings per share rise 72.2%. It also announced a 6% increase in its quarterly cash dividend.
From these levels, the stock offered plenty of capital appreciation potential... a 7.4% dividend yield... AND a shot at skyrocketing profits on call options.
As I said, the last time I recommended call options on this stock, subscribers saw profits of 304.1% in just 70 days! We took profits on the last lot of options on January 11, 2010.
I launched my Skousen High-Income
Alert service to help you turn these profit opportunities into cold, hard cash
Unfortunately, these extremely time-sensitive, short-term options cannot possibly go into my monthly newsletter.
You have to be able to get in and out of the market on a dime, and it's impossible to do that in a monthly publication.
So, to help you capture the incredible profits that my Extreme Income Investing approach to high-dividend-paying stocks can offer you, I launched a very specialized VIP trading service: Skousen High-Income Alert.
So far as I know, this is the world's ONLY exclusive, VIP service designed to help you use under-priced dividend stocks to turn $10,000 into $45,700 -- as you could have done following my advice last May and July.
Skousen High-Income Alert takes the uncertainty out of options trading.
It tells you precisely what to do and when to do it. There are no ambiguities, no ifs, ands, or buts, typical of so many trading advisors.
The alerts always go out by email because the instantaneous communication is essential for good fills in these fast-moving markets.
When it's time to buy -- or take profits --
I need to reach you right away.
The moment you subscribe, you get immediate access to my Skousen High-Income Alert subscriber-only Web site and begin getting my weekly flash email alerts -- where I reveal my plain-English, bare-bones approach to options trading and investing in high-dividend stocks.
My weekly instructions give you the fundamentals you need to potentially earn millions in options -- even if you've never traded a single option in your life.
I even tell you what to say to your discount broker -- and if you don't have a discount broker, I recommend some.
Then, the BIG money-making benefits begin:
FIRST, you get an exclusive bundle of options on high-income stocks that can easily turn $10,000 into $30,000... or even $50,000... in just 6 to 12 weeks. That includes... - Recommendations on the Israeli cell phone company that pays a 10.1% annual dividend and which handed subscribers a fast 166.6% gain in 6 days right before the holidays last year...
- My very latest recommendations on the propane distribution company that allowed my subscribers to potentially pocket 320% gains last October...
- Specific instructions on how to profit from recommendations like the "vice stock" I mentioned earlier -- the one that saw its options shoot up 304% in just 70 days.
SECOND, you get recommendations for high-dividend stocks with yields as high as 10% that have the potential for substantial capital appreciation. You don't have to trade options to benefit from this service. Some subscribers use the service merely to discover high-yield stocks for income investing.
THIRD, you get my precise, unambiguous, actionable trading advice, based on my Extreme Income Investing method, throughout 2010: I do all the necessary homework to make sure my recommendations are actionable. On each and every flash email alert, I tell you exactly what to buy, what to pay for each investment... AND... how to limit your risk, for example through the use of protective stops.
FOURTH, you get my all-important timing advice. In my weekly emails and on my encrypted Web site, I give you specific instructions on when to get in, when to get out, and occasionally when to "roll over" your positions so your opportunity doesn't disappear. And you'll get my recommendations precisely when -- and only when -- I see a MAJOR, first-rate opportunity for you. I believe that when an opportunity appears, you have to grab it then and there.
FIFTH, you get recommendations for every risk tolerance or portfolio size. One nice thing about this weekly service is that you can pick and choose which recommendations are right for you. You can lock in fat dividend checks with annual yields as high as 10%... invest solely in the stocks for capital gains... or go all-out and try for 300% or more profits in short-term call options.
SIXTH, you get specific recommendations for strictly limiting your risk. I believe in stops -- and I provide you with very specific instructions for setting and raising your stop losses on investments.
LAST, but very important, you get direct access to my staff. The instructions in every weekly flash alert are clear and precise. Just read them, word for word, to your broker -- or enter the symbols into your favorite discount online broker. Nevertheless, I know that you may have questions. With this premium service, you can ask your questions and we'll get back to you ASAP. (Note: I cannot legally give you personalized investing advice, but we can answer any questions you may have about our recommendations.)
The price for all of this -- including the bundles of options most likely to turn $10,000 into $50,000 -- is $1,250 a year.
If you can't afford to spend $1,250 without worrying about it, you shouldn't be investing in these high-powered investments to begin with.
However, because I am convinced that my recommendations for high-yield income investments are the best way for you to achieve substantial retirement income and security, I have managed to persuade my tight-fisted publishers to slash a token $255 (20%) off the regular subscription price of $1,250.
As a result, a charter subscription to my Skousen High-Income Alert newsletter costs only $995 for one year. That works out to be only $83 per month or just $17.76 a week.
To be honest, it would cost you a little less than half that to subscribe to a major daily newspaper like the Los Angeles Times ($36 a month) or The New York Times ($32 a month) -- and Skousen High-Income Alert has the potential to make you A LOT more money.
(If you accept a trial subscription for TWO years, you can get 33% off the regular price of $2,500 and lock in a subscription cost of just $1,695 for two years -- or just $70 per month.) Or if you prefer, you can choose our convenient quarterly auto-renewal option and pay just $275 per quarter.
Unprecedented Offer:
You must earn the cost of Skousen High-Income Alert
in 60 Days -- or you pay nothing!
Best of all, you can try out Skousen High-Income Alert for two full months and get your money back if it doesn't make you money.
Here's the deal. Try out the service for two months -- 60 full days. Make as many of the trade recommendations (stocks and/or options) as you wish. If you haven't paid for the cost of the service within that first 60 day period, you may cancel and receive a full refund, no questions asked.
Better yet, after 60 days if you're ever not 100% delighted with the profits you make with Skousen High-Income Alert... or if you're not completely satisfied for ANY reason... just let me know and you'll get a complete refund of the balance of your subscription.
Almost no one makes an offer like that -- which tells you how confident I am that you will make money with this service. The truth is, we get very few cancellations. Many people earn back the cost of the service on their very first trade!
There is only one catch...
Strictly limited to
just 1,000 subscribers
There is one caveat: This service is strictly limited to the first 1,000 subscribers who sign up.
There is a good reason for this. I want to make absolutely certain you can execute every single recommendation I give you at a reasonable price level.
The truth is, I sometimes spot undiscovered call options for as little as 25 cents each... sometimes for as little as a nickel each. This is where the BIG money lies hidden.
Limiting the membership is the only way I can make sure my subscribers are able to get in on these kinds of insanely underpriced investments.
The other factor is that my publisher is about to undertake a major effort to promote this service.
Right now, my publisher is sending this offer strictly to my most valued members. Then, in a few days, he will be sending this same invitation to hundreds of thousands of investors who subscribe to other investment newsletters or who have recently expressed an interest in option trading.
I honestly believe this will sell out quickly. If all 1,000 slots are not taken by my own members, they will certainly be grabbed by these other investors.
And once the last slots are taken, that's it. You won't be able to get in for love or money. You'll have to sign up on our waiting list and WAIT until someone cancels -- while the lucky few scoop up potential profits like the 135.71% gains you could have made in 27 days on one of the largest shipping companies calls I recommended last month.
Due to the current uncertainty in the markets,
the investments I am recommending are still dirt
cheap. But that could change at any moment
No one knows for sure what the markets will do going forward.
What's more, don't let anyone fool you: Investing in general, and particularly investing in options, can be risky. You can lose all of your money... but... and this is important...never a penny more(unlike futures).
However, I can say this: Trading high-income dividend investments offers you solid protection in a volatile market like we've seen recently -- and potentially huge profits if the market rallies.
What's more, this is the only way I know of to take a small amount of money and potentially turn it into a pile of cash -- to turn $10,000 into $40,400 as you could have done from November 2009 to January 2010 -- all with strictly limited risk.
Don't delay. You need to have your positions in place BEFORE any major move in these high-yield stocks. I urge you to sign up now before we sell out of available slots.
To guarantee your subscription, click on the link below and fill out the Priority Enrollment form provided.
Sincerely
Mark Skousen, Ph.D.
Editor, Skousen High-Income Alert
P.S. Remember, we offer a zero-risk 60-day trial. You can cancel at any time before 60 days and get a full refund -- and anytime thereafter for a refund of the balance of your subscription. Don't miss out on your opportunity to turn $10,000 into $40,000 or more with Skousen High-Income Alert. |
