WARNING: Worst Case: Your shares are 'stolen' and you pocket 37% Gains Best Case: Double your money -- or more -- in 18 months The Worst Case has already happened to his picks 5 times within a year for average profits of 37%. But the Best Case is what happens a lot more often... when the companies he uncovers can live up to their full potential... and that's when he brings his subscribers winners like...
Overall, he has had a stellar 81% winning percentage over the last 3 years. And the biggest loss of the positions he's sold? Down just 7%. Read on to find out how this button-down former banker does it... Just as importantly, you'll learn about his two latest picks -- 'investment companies in disguise' sitting on $1.3 billion in cash... and he's just hoping and praying they don't get bought out before they get a chance to double, triple or more... Dear Triple-Digit Return Seeker: Only a handful of analysts in the world have a proven track record of consistently producing high double- and triple-digit gains for their readers. One of them we call the Button-Down Banker. This former commercial bank executive has put together a string of stock recommendations for his readers over the last three years that includes an 81% success ratio and average gains of 41%. And he's done it while keeping risk extremely low. Not only has he had very few losing recommendations, his single biggest loss is just 7%. Yet there is another -- somewhat unusual -- risk investors take when they follow Chris's advice. You see, he typically targets companies with the potential to deliver 200 - 400% returns in two - three years. Yet some of his most exciting recommendations end up getting bought out by competitors or private equity firms for short-term profits of 18% to 40% to 71% in a matter of months. If this is the kind of 'risk' you can live with... and if you'd like to pocket longer-term profits like the 105%, 124% and 190% that he's making his readers... then I urge you to take a moment to learn about his two latest recommendations. They're investment companies with long and proven track records. Yet they're 'disguised' as stodgy (though highly profitable) insurance companies. And the best part is they're loaded with value Wall Street doesn't recognize yet, they're sitting on $1.3 billion in cash, and they have the opportunity to post record earnings and share prices for years to come. The Secret of 'the Float' As improbable as it sounds, there are companies that can tap into streams of free money. And those streams of free money can turn into torrents of profits for shareholders. These companies have no problem raising capital. In fact, they have access to tons of it. And unlike many of their competitors, they invest that capital in the wisest, most profitable ways possible... generating returns for investors of 400% or better!
The best news for you... Neither of these stocks is priced anywhere near the six-figure-per-share range. They can be yours right now for a very accessible price... with an even better potential for appreciation. Wouldn't you like the security of knowing part of your portfolio is as bulletproof as anything can be in the investing world... and all the while, you could pocket a triple-digit upside? In a few moments, I'll tell you how to get your hands on a FREE special report identifying both of these companies -- companies handpicked by a stock market genius with an incredible eye for consistent long-term gains. Then I'll tell you about four other companies he's watching -- four more remarkable opportunities to bank big profits without losing sleep. But I must be absolutely upfront with you. Based on his previous experience, there's an outside chance these investments won't work out as planned... but if what I fear happens, you could still make gains of 37% in a year. How is this possible? This expert stock picker's 'bad breaks' can make you an average of 37% in a year! Wouldn't it be nice if the investments that don't work out make you 18 - 71% in a matter of months? The stock market genius I just mentioned finds this happening to him over and over again. In fact, it's happened five times in the space of a year. You see, that's because the man behind these plays isn't out for a quick buck. He's no day trader, glued to his monitor, trying to steal a point or two here and there. When he chooses an investment, his preferred holding period is forever. And his long-term investments have a way of paying off big... like Orient-Express Hotels -- a gain of 109% in 15 months... or Imperial Sugar, up 145% in 18 months. But somehow, he's managing to generate phenomenal short-term gains in spite of himself. So I don't want to mislead you... If your investing aims include...
...you should probably read no further. But if you like the idea of...
...then let me introduce you to a button-down former banker who truly has the 'combination to the vault' when it comes to making big profits on rock-solid companies. A good kind of 'disappointment': 5 long-term picks that generated short-term gains The man behind these profits is Chris Mayer. Now, while I can't say for sure that all of Wall Street's largest investment banks follow his picks... I have to wonder when, over and over again, I see companies he recommends -- against all of Wall Street's conventional wisdom -- getting bought out. Five times in just one year. And twice in a span of just one week!
Could you live with this kind of 'disappointment'? Take those five picks together. That's an average gain of 37% from an average holding period of just under a year!
Now, let me be clear: This is not what Chris is looking for. He doesn't like to pay short-term capital gains tax, and he's looking to make his subscribers rich -- not Wall Street brokers -- so he doesn't want to make a lot of unnecessary plays, jumping in and out of stocks. His ultimate aim is to hold for the long term and make triple-digit gains, consistently... as he's done with Companhia Paranaense (121% in a year), Brookfield Asset Management (153% in 2½ years) and Agrium (184% in 2½ years). When he finds that rare company he's ready to recommend, he wants to hold it for the long term because, frankly, there aren't that many of them out there!
He's a show-me kind of guy who knows how to dig deep into a company's books and find important details other analysts tend to miss. That's why every one of the quarter-billion dollars in loans he handled as the youngest VP ever at his bank made money! He never lost his bank a dime. In fact, he made the bank some of the most profitable deals in its history! He was on the fast track to the top when one day, three years ago, he chucked it all -- the golf club membership, the expense account, the benefits and executive salary and bonuses -- all so he could do what he loves most. That's find great companies with hidden assets whose value Wall Street doesn't yet recognize. And he's turned that love into an amazing track record... with several winning picks over the last three years... and an average gain of 43% in just 11 months! Surviving the 'Buyout Threat' for Triple-digit Profits Don't get me wrong. Chris isn't 'disappointed' like this every time. Many of his picks 'survive' the buyout threat and go on to post triple-digit gains. Here are just a few...
In fact, Chris is looking at six companies right now. Each has the potential to make 400% returns, or more... because they have the kind of hidden value Chris insists on before he'll recommend a stock. But there is a danger that some might not make it to their full potential. They too could be bought out for a gain of just 40 - 71% in the next few months. But if you're willing to put up with that kind of 'risk,' then let me tell you how he's built up such an extraordinary track record over the last three years... and why the next three should be even better. By way of introducing you to Chris, first let me introduce myself. My name is Addison Wiggin. I head a multimillion-dollar financial research group, and I've been writing about the economy and the markets for well over a decade now. The result has included three New York Times business best-sellers... Financial Reckoning Day, The Demise of the Dollar and Empire of Debt. I also oversee the publication of a free daily e-mail newsletter, The Daily Reckoning. And that's what led me to Chris -- or I should say, led him to me.
You see, Chris isn't your typical broker turned stock-sheet writer. No, he cut his teeth in the investment business as a banker -- a corporate lending specialist. He was a vice president before age 30, the youngest VP at his bank, overseeing a portfolio of hundreds of millions of dollars in assets. That gave him a chance to see the world of investing from an angle few other analysts see. What he learned could make you a small fortune -- or maybe even a big one! How a former banker generates huge gains you can bank on The sort of things that impress a typical Wall Street hustler -- rumors, hype and the vaunted quarterly earnings figures -- cut no ice with Chris. He'd much rather focus on obscure figures like free cash flow -- that's money you can actually put into a bank account and spend. Numbers the Wall Street boys ignore, but numbers that make all the difference when it comes to generating 37% gains in 12 months. As a commercial banker, he wanted to see the books. Study them in detail. Find the liabilities management wouldn't talk about -- or, in some cases, didn't even know existed. And in a few lucky cases, he'd also find hidden assets that management couldn't recognize. The sorts of assets that could set a company on a rocket ride. Let me give you an example.

America's most famous investor owns a stake in one of these companies. And both of the companies operate on principles he set down decades ago.
But the trouble is there's a good chance that investment bankers and acquisition scouts for corporations in that industry are looking over his shoulder. After all, his reputation as an expert on true value precedes him. 
Understand that The Daily Reckoning has a half million daily readers. So we get a lot of letters to the editor. But when Chris wrote in one day, what he had to say stood out for its brilliance and clarity. A little more correspondence back and forth and I knew I wanted to do business with him. Which brings us to where we are today... and my guarantee he'll show you gains of at least 37% over the next 12 months.
