The World's Greatest The richest investor on Earth bet $572 million on this stock - and watched it soar to $1.63 billion in a year! And it looks like he's hanging on for more... The FREE report I'll send you shows you why now's your chance to jump in too, as this mega-stock triples every dollar invested over the next 24 months... Dear Fellow Financial Freedom Seeker, When Andrew Carnegie's family left Scotland, he was just 13 years old. His family was dirt-poor. So Andrew skipped out on school and took any job he could get. By 16, he was making just $2.50 a week, working as a messenger boy. His story could have ended there. But when Carnegie grew up, he built a company. By the time he reached 66, it was so successful...he sold it for the modern-day equivalent of $5.3 billion. Then he retired and started giving that money away. Carnegie built libraries (over 3,000 of them) and church organs (over 7,000). He funded universities, medical labs and music conservatories. He founded Carnegie Hall in Manhattan. He created a large grant award for heroism. He even funded the famous dinosaur dig that yielded "Diplodocus carnegiei," the largest fossil ever recovered and the biggest dinosaur ever known to have existed. At one point, Carnegie tried to hand the Philippines enough cash - $467 million in today's dollars - to buy back its freedom from Spain. How did a poor boy from Scotland get so rich? Simple. Carnegie made steel. And he made it...cheap. That might not seem fancy enough to you to be the secret to one of history's greatest fortunes, but it's true. It really was the key to all that wealth. What's more, it's the simple secret behind what I'll show you today...an investment so rich that the wealthiest investor on earth happily forked over $572 million to buy a piece last year...and watched it grow to $1.63 billion. Now it looks like he's hanging on for more. And I'm going to urge you to make the same smart move. And I'll show you how, if you do, you could easily see a 200% gain on your money - a triple on every dollar invested - over the next 24 months ahead... Brace Yourself for One of the I want you to think about this carefully. Back in Carnegie's day, after he took the cost of making steel rails from $160 per ton...all the way down to $17 per ton...was it any accident railroads, cities and, especially, skyscrapers started appearing all across America? Not at all. "The nation that makes the cheapest steel," he famously said, "has other nations at its feet." And while America grew, he supplied it. For railroads. For bridges. For buildings. He was right then. He's even more right today. On the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th Street in Manhattan, you'll even find a kind of monument to his way of thinking...a beacon to wealth creation...and an emblem to the power of industry that still stands today. I'm talking, of course, about the Empire State Building. For its first 40 years, it was the world's tallest building - and proof to the rest of the world that Americans and the American economy, even at the height of the Great Depression, were capable of great things. Yet none of it would have been possible without Carnegie's innovations in slashing the price of production for construction-quality metal...since the Empire State Building itself used a mind-boggling 60,000 tons of steel! When you look at the Chrysler Building across town...the Sears Tower in Chicago...the two World Trade Center towers before destruction on Sept. 11...not to mention all the highways, rail lines and every other sign of booming infrastructure... It's easy to see how a boom time in America and a boom in steel have often gone hand in hand. It was no accident that the world's tallest skyscrapers, for instance, sprouted up in the U.S. just as the U.S. was establishing its ground as the premier world-class economy. Likewise today, is it any accident that seven out of the world's 10 tallest skyscrapers have appeared in the heart of what analysts peg as the next hotbed of wealth creation? Nope, not in the U.S...but in Asia. The Taipei 101 Tower in Taiwan...the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur...the Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai...the bullet-shaped Two International Finance Centre in Hong Kong...Citic Plaza in Guangzhou...Shun Hing Square in Shenzhen... India, Singapore, Korea, Malaysia...while the U.S. real estate market cools, they're all building like mad. And demanding dazzling amounts of concrete and steel to make it happen. China alone plans to add another 1,000 skyscrapers to the Shanghai skyline by 2011...and to double its demand for steel by 2031. That's equal to using all the steel sold in the West today!
Here's why I'm telling you this: For the entire steel industry, it's nothing short of a "second coming"...and a huge opportunity for you, if you move on this while there's still time. The one company I'm telling you about virtually dominates this market. Some call it the most perfect steel company in the world, producing the greatest volume of quality steel at the world's most efficient price. Just like Carnegie did when he built his American fortune well over a century ago. Already, the world's second-richest billionaire and, arguably, history's savviest investor bet $572 million on this one stock last year. It's shot up to over $1.63 billion, as of this writing. And it looks like he's hanging on for more. What's shocking, however, is that this stock I'm telling you about is still selling dirt-cheap. And as I'm about to prove, it's also perfectly positioned for you to snap it up right now so you can make a fortune as this next round of boom time unfolds. It couldn't be simpler. The company I'll introduce you to makes good steel cheap. Just like Carnegie. But at a time when and in markets where the hunger for the hard metal has never been higher. Why now? Obviously, because Asia is growing even as other markets shrink back. But also because it's not just offices going into those skyscrapers, but housing. With so many people, Asian cities have run out of room to grow out, so they grow up instead. And the company you and I are talking about is there in the middle of it. It's already got a lock on the local markets. Not to mention a $41.2-billion footprint on the stock market. Plus, plenty of loving attention from one of the best-known and most successful investors in history. All at a time when, just like in 20th-century America, Asia's love affair with skyscrapers - and steel - is just about to really begin. The Name of This Stock and Everything I'm so excited about this, I've commissioned a brand-new report that sheds a bright light on all the details. I'd like to send you this report immediately, at no charge. FREE. This report is called The World's Greatest Growth Stock: Skyscraping Gains in the Stock That Billionaires Buy. And like I said, I'll rush you a copy immediately, just as soon as you say the word. You'll want to act on this quickly. The stock is already on the move. Discovery by the rest of Wall Street is imminent. After all, this mystery company has already piled up over three times more assets than it has debts. And that asset pile includes a heaping amount of pure cash. That makes this company extremely attractive. It also suggests this company can hardly stay under the radar for long. Asia's exploding urban sprawl alone almost guarantees a booming Asian steel market for years, even decades, to come. Think about it this way, in terms a little closer to home... The Sears Tower in Chicago, the nation's tallest building, contains 76,000 tons of steel. The Twin Towers in New York used 200,000 tons of steel. Can you doubt that there's money to make when steel demand goes up? For anyone in America who invested in the early 1900s, steel shot up an average of 66% per year...26 years in a row. This "second skyscraper boom" should have an even bigger effect. Anyone holding the shares in this company we're talking about could do extremely well, starting with the first day you own your shares... Get an Instant Gain Just by Getting What's crazy is that this company is so far off the radar right now - despite the big gains it's already made for smarter investors - you can STILL pick up shares at a relative bargain price (at least, as of this writing - this could change as the shares go up!). Imagine buying underpriced shares in a company that's about to take off. Which is exactly what this company should do, and very soon.
See, as I said, the key to this company's success already has been - just like in Carnegie's day - its ability to crank out cheap steel. But what only the insiders and market watchers know is that this company just implemented an even better, cheaper process for making its steel. Without compromising quality, this new process lets this company use abundant powdered iron ore, instead of more expensive iron ore pellets. That's the first breakthrough. But steel production also depends on using lots of raw fuel energy. And this new production technology also lets this company switch to cheaper forms of coal. We've seen it before. Slashing raw material costs is the secret to selling efficient steel. It's also the secret to a huge bottom-line advantage...and more profits...which, of course, can get passed on as dividends to you, as a shareholder. And this company's doing it, all while Wall Street misses the show. You'll want to own a healthy handful of shares before the next solid earnings report comes out. And this company has been churning out profits. How sure is this? With Beijing construction for the 2008 Olympics, unstoppable Asian demand for automobiles and China gearing up to build 20 more cities over the next 20 years...that profit stream should just keep on continuing to grow. This is about as close as you could come to buying US Steel at the turn of the 20th century. Steel isn't sexy. But it's still fundamental. Houses, apartment buildings, bridges. Utility poles, railways and rail cars. Even cans and household appliances, which are typically made of about 75% steel. This company has grown 34% on average each of the last eight years. Some of the world's smartest investors have already bet on it. Asia is counting on it. And this company has even signed a 30-year iron ore and production deal with the government of India that could nearly double its current production. Is it any wonder that the same genius who found this stock for us...is calling for it to double or more? You can read all about it in your FREE copy of The World's Greatest Growth Stock: Skyscraping Gains in the Stock That Billionaires Buy that I'd like to send. This is easily one of the best "no-brainer" moves you could make over the next several months ahead. And you can read all about it in your FREE copy of this report. You can download it in an instant, just five minutes from now, by following the steps at the end of this letter. Let Me Introduce Myself My name is Addison Wiggin. I'm excited by opportunities like the one I just showed you. Why? Let me explain. Maybe you know about the message I've worked hard to share these last several years. I've written about it in two No. 1 New York Times best-sellers...I've charged a $20 million international team of market analysts with researching the details...I've even done hundreds of radio and national television interviews talking about this - appearing on everything from Bloomberg Television and CNBC's Wake Up Call...to ABC News' Money Matters, Forbes on Fox and CBS Sunday Morning. Just to get the word out. In short, there are opportunities out there, just like the one we've just looked at, that can make you incredibly wealthy. But often there are forces pretending to offer you a much more limited set of alternatives. Overpriced shares pumped up by investment bankers...overbought mutual funds that couldn't possibly grow any faster...government "safety nets" with holes...and soaring taxes to pay for Washington waste and ill-conceived social programs that never deliver. My team of analysts and I believe something different. We believe you can't truly engineer economies or trick the stock market. Most of all, over the long term, you can't fool savvy investors. It's our belief that the only real way to create wealth is by letting money go where it's treated best. There's even a name for this. They call it "Wriston's Law." Pure and simple, it's as close as you can get to any real "secret" for attracting wealth... The Secret to Attracting Wealth Walter B. Wriston was a World War II vet. His mother taught chemistry. His father was a history professor. Walt was an Eagle Scout. During the war, he negotiated with the Japanese to free imprisoned American soldiers. After the war, he reinvented banking. Walt took a job as a junior inspector in the comptroller's office at First National City Bank. One promotion led to another, and by 1968, as chief executive, he turned First National into what you and I know as Citibank. Under Wriston, the bank pioneered ATMs...financed the discovery of North Sea oil...built the modern credit card industry...invented certificates of deposit and eurodollar lending... He took risks. He forced changes in laws. He took Citicorp beyond anybody's wildest dreams. Personally, it made him as rich as Midas. But ask Walt the secret of attracting money and he might have repeated exactly what he said all the time about wealth creation: "Capital goes where it's welcome and stays where it's well treated." In other words, "Money goes where it's treated best." We're not the first to say it. We won't be the last. But the bottom line is just as clear - just by knowing where the money will be treated well, you've already taken your first step toward finding some of the best - and often undiscovered - wealth-building investments in the world. It really is that simple. Which is why there's somebody I'd like you to meet... A Young Man Who Knows His name is Christopher Hancock. It's Christopher who found the incredible opportunity we've just talked about. And Christopher who wrote it up for you in the FREE report I'll send. But he's more than just an analyst. And that's why I've asked Christopher to be the one to lead you on this journey toward profits you're about to begin. See, Christopher is a natural moral crusader for this cause of individual, natural and free market fundamental wealth building. It's a devotion he's taken on with almost religious fervency.
But Christopher is different. He's a devout Friedrich Hayek scholar. And if you know anything about Hayek, that tells you everything. For instance, by the time Austrian-born Hayek was 24, he had his doctorates in law and political science from the University of Vienna. By 25, he was a researcher at NYU. He'd also mastered psychology and economics. And Christopher, who's about as close as you'll get to a young Hayek himself, also took bold steps into the world at a tender age. Fresh out of college, after studying foreign government policy at the University of Virginia, Christopher decided the suburban career track wasn't enough for him, and he packed his bags to head off to bigger markets. Namely, the spiritual home of global capitalism itself - Hong Kong - where he plowed into the books to get his MBA. Christopher's hero Hayek launched the major years of his career at the London School of Economics. And then, as a mentor to Milton Friedman, at the University of Chicago. While the rest of the world slipped into socialism, Hayek got up on his soapbox and spun out some of the most controversial and intelligent ideas about free market economics ever recorded. (Ideas which, by the way, eventually got him the Nobel Prize in 1974.) Christopher, meanwhile, got the best part of his economic education another way. Living on the doorstep of mainland China, he watched the greatest economic miracle since the American railroads unfold. Asian markets were exploding. And Christopher had the catbird seat. He took a job with Citicorp, researching Asian markets and opportunity. And over the next few years, he soaked up enough hands-on proof to convince him that Hayek and other freethinking financial experts had it right all along. Free markets were and are the key to wealth. And the only real shortcut to freedom. It was then that he dedicated himself to showing other investors how to escape the shortsighted solutions packaged by Washington and Wall Street...so they could delve instead into global moneymakers designed to grow in spite of all the obstacles in the marketplace. That's how Christopher found us. And that's why I've invited him to be part of our team today. Together we created a whole new kind of investment research service, with Christopher at the helm. We call it Free Market Investor. And if you act quickly, you could benefit from Christopher's experience today. Private Wealth Secrets, Made Public I'd like to invite you to join our small circle and try Christopher's Free Market Investor letter. In fact, I'd like to invite you to try it FREE for up to a full year. How so? I'll explain at the end of this letter. Not just how to get a brand-new issue of Free Market Investor hand delivered to your mailbox every month...but how to get a whole library of special market reports...a private Web site password...and weekly market updates...all at no charge. I'm willing to do that because I know there's nobody out there who can help you find exactly these kinds of liberating, wealth-building moves better than Christopher can. From his days in Hong Kong, he has his own wide network of market contacts. He also has firsthand experience with the world's freest market and most thriving businesses. He even has on-the-scene insight into the one spot in the world - Asia - where all the major capital is flowing right now, as you'll read about in this letter. Nobody scours the globe for opportunity the way he does. Can most of the brokers working on Wall Street make those same claims? Hardly. And most importantly, to my mind, nobody understands what it takes for a high-quality business to attract investors on its own steam...instead of counting on spin doctors, market makers or handouts from bureaucrats. Knowing how businesses work is how Benjamin Graham got rich. It's how Warren Buffett made his fortune. And it's how you'll make your own money-producing moves with the help of Christopher and his issues of Free Market Investor. These aren't highflier stocks and headline bandits he'll talk about. Instead, they're the kinds of opportunities your grandparents would love. Strong enterprises with real businesses. Stocks with steady earnings. Income-paying companies that shell out bucks to investors because they can afford to, not because it's the only way they can move their shares. Most market amateurs never see stocks like these. Most brokers never talk about them. Yet as you'll see in your free trial issues of Free Market Investor, Christopher uses his network and his market savvy to find these kinds of winning, uninhibited money moves every day. It wasn't easy to woo him on board and convince him to share these gems with the rest of us. But I've finally managed to pull it off. And this invitation for you to start getting free trial issues of Christopher's new Free Market Investor service is the result. I hope you'll take me up on it. And I hope you'll start by sending immediately for the FREE report I promised you, The World's Greatest Growth Stock: Skyscraping Gains in the Stock That Billionaires Buy. As I said, you can even download it instantly, using the link I'll provide at the end of this letter. First, though, let me show you a second "hidden" opportunity that Christopher's sharing with his small group of private and savvy subscribers... The World's Greatest Retirement Stock: Some retirees who own a piece of this second opportunity, a little-mentioned "pension-payout" plan, now draw as much as 90% of their working incomes, says The New York Times... Others cash out and use the extra money to snap up indulgent vacation packages, luxury gifts for the family and even second homes by the beach... And many of those people using this, says The American Spectator, "retire with better, more secure pensions and, increasingly, at early ages..." Yet I'm sure you've never heard of it. Even if you have, maybe you've always thought - since it's officially closed to U.S. citizens - that there was no way to "sneak in" to claim your share of the payoff. But there is. And Christopher is sharing this "backdoor" secret right now, in a second FREE report he's put together and that I'd also like to send you FREE, at absolutely no charge. We call this second FREE report, The World's Greatest Retirement Stock: A Secret "Pension-Payout" Plan Even Your Broker Doesn't Know About. What you'll find inside is as easy as calling your broker and reading off a line. But doing so could give you a whole new stream of retirement income and a level of financial freedom many other people facing retirement just don't have. "Instead of...wondering whether the government will deliver promised retirement benefits," reports The San Diego Union-Tribune, these investors are able to "bankroll their own retirements and manage their own nest eggs." If you get started now, your first income checks from this "off-limits" "pension-payout plan" could roll in very soon. And I can finally show you how it works, in the letter that follows. "The best thing about this," says one retired tax lawyer who opted to start doing this years ago, "is that I don't have to give my future to the government...the funds belong to me, so I get the earnings." Here's a little taste of what you'll find inside Christopher's report... Income + Growth + Safety = At the core, just by holding this, you're immediately eligible to start receiving income paychecks, in the form of fat dividend payouts reserved exclusively for shareholders. But there's more to this than just the income checks. This "pension-payout" plan actually works more like an exchange-traded fund. But in some ways, it also acts like a bond. How so? The money that pours in is spread evenly across a wide blend of stocks...and is backed by one of the world's richest copper reserves... Meanwhile, like a well-performing growth stock, the value of the shares themselves consistently goes up. Just over the last five years, for instance, you would have made more on these shares than you could have made holding some of the biggest income-paying blue chips on Wall Street. That's right. See, few income-paying shares combine both stable blue-chip level security with steady share growth. Blue-chips like Exxon, Wal-Mart, Citigroup, and Microsoft, for instance, all pay dividends. But as of this past quarter, not a single company in that group paid a dividend higher than this company. Meanwhile, the shares have shot up more like a growth stock rather than a stodgy, monolithic blue chip. Just like the most secure blue-chips on the market, this stock offers you almost bond-like safety. You also get ETF-level diversity, since the investment itself is backed both by a wide blend of stocks and spread across the broad market, plus one of the world's richest supplies of copper reserves. Even London's prestigious and reserved free-market think tank, the Adam Smith Institute, gushes about this money move, calling it "an immense success." So does Business Week, who has shown how many of the retirees doing this are now able to live "better than ever in their golden years." Based on the 22.9% annual average gain this one pension payout plan could have churned out for you over the last five years, $10,000 invested annually would now be worth $124,849... Given the effective annual rate of 21% this fund racked up over the last 10 years, putting in $10,000 a year could have given you $397,288 extra by now. Maybe now I have your attention?. But here's the irony -- would you believe there are STILL lots of investors out there who don't "get" the benefit of holding a growing stock that also happens to pay out income... What Our Grandparents During the tech boom...during the mad rush for China shares...during the hedge-fund craze...even during the latest run on real estate...a lot of inexperienced investors got all the wrong ideas about how to build wealth. I'm writing to you today because I think you know what I'm talking about. For those market amateurs, it was all about the fast buck...about how well the Fed could manipulate markets with interest rates...and about a kind of entitlement idea related to wealth. But you and I know that's just not how it works. And it's not how our grandparents' generation looked at investing, either. Think about it. Back in the day, getting growth from a company share was just glaze on the doughnut. The real story was all about the payout of steady dividends. It's what you looked for. It's what made you rich. Forget "hot" trends. Compound interest was the market miracle everybody talked about. And nobody looked to the government for guidance or handouts, either. Business is what built fortunes. The less the bureaucrats or government economists got in the way, the better. But as it turns out, new research proves that the old rules never disappeared. They're still just as valid today. You can still make more money holding income-paying shares. Even if you're just talking about the gains in the share prices alone. How much better? Just take a look at this chart... This tracks the payoff you could have expected owning income-paying, instead of nonincome paying, stocks on the S&P 500 over the entire run of the market from 1983 until 2007. As you can see, stocks that pay you income have consistently annihilated the growth rates of nondividend-paying shares - by a fat margin, on average, of 6%. Not just once or twice. But every year for the last 33 years. How impressive is that? Let's say you'd parked $100,000 in the S&P 500 back in 1982 and let it ride. By 2007, nonincome stocks would have handed you a handsome $1.82 million. Not bad. But the same investment in income-paying stocks would have done you a lot better...by growing that initial $100,000 into a stunning $2.18 million. For anybody who still doesn't get it, that's enough reason to wake up and smell the Nescafe. This may be the most reliable growth-and-income stock you could hold in your portfolio. It's definitely the kind of stock that lets you sleep better at night. And you can read all about it in your FREE copy of The World's Greatest Retirement Stock: A Secret Pension-Payout Plan Even Your Broker Doesn't Know About. This one opportunity is reliable too. It has paid off steadily at the same high rate for more than two decades. And for reasons you'll see in your FREE copy of this report, it could just keep on growing...churning out steadily larger income checks for decades to come. That's why I urgently want you to send for your FREE copy of The World's Greatest Retirement Stock: A Secret Pension-Payout Plan Even Your Broker Doesn't Know About as soon as you finish reading this letter. This isn't just a stock to pad your portfolio. It's a way to gain a kind of protection...against the financial and moral hazard of governments that come up short on their promises and make a habit of meddling in our private financial affairs. Think about it... While you're working, they take away money you could save for yourself. When you retire, they tell you the program they used to "save" your money wasn't working the way they planned after all. Does that still feel like "security" to you? If it does, you should stop reading now. Otherwise, I urge you to take me up on my invitation. Let me send you a FREE copy of the report I've been talking about, The World's Greatest Retirement Stock: A Secret Pension-Payout Plan Even Your Broker Doesn't Know About...plus the details on the steel opportunity we talked about earlier. And you'll quickly see for yourself how valuable and simple it can be to take control of your own financial security...without the distraction of false promises and manipulators getting in your way. For example, let me just show you a little more about how liberating this second "pension-payout plan" opportunity we've just talked about can be... A Nobel Prize-winning Profit Formula At the core, the company behind this secret pension-payout plan looks just like any other company that helps manage money for investors (to date, somewhere around $32.9 billion). But it's really much more. First, it's one of only four companies that operate on this model. What model? It starts with a profit formula devised by Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman himself. The funds go in. The shares go up. And the company collects a small management fee. That fee it collects is competitive with Vanguard's rate, widely known to be one of the most competitive in the business. But because the pension plan's stock market performance has been so impressive, more investors steadily pour in. So even those small management fees still add up to a huge pile of cash. Here's where your "back door" entry comes into play. Using this simple, less-talked-about way of getting in, which you'll read about in the copy of Christopher's report that I want to send, not only can you get in without paying any management fees... even better, you're getting paid just like the managers who run the plan itself. That's right. Your income checks come directly from the fees the money managers collect from their pool of investors. For once, you're on the inside of the circle when it comes to company revenue. You essentially get a cut just for holding shares. Even the company's own clients don't get that same benefit. And, keep in mind, you also get the steady gain in the shares on top of any income you may collect along the way. It's the best of both worlds. It's like being a manager and a shareholder at the same time. How You Could Have Turned Every $15,000 Into $100,912.50 Last year, on an average $31.70 share price, this company paid a dividend of $2.05. I know you could do the math yourself, but I'll save you some time. That's a payout of 6.5%. But that's just part of the story. A few months back, for instance, the company just committed to using some of their hefty earnings to grow the core business even larger. That bodes very well for the stock. But it also opens a window for you to get in before any new growth hits the headlines. Remember, so far, the stock had returned an average 22.9% over the last 5 years, with a total payoff of 181% for the same period. Could you imagine if you confidently making that, year after year, on the rest of your retirement portfolio? And Christopher and I both fully expect those averages to shoot even higher. Every $15,000 invested in this stock as recently as 2003 is now worth $42,058.20. And it gets better. As I said earlier, the ten-year effective annual rate of return on this stock is 21%. That's the same as turning every $15,000 invested in 1998 into $100,912.50. What about downturns? 1989 to 1994 hit U.S. investors hard. Recession, a stagnant stock market, a stale economy... at best, any money invested in a pure U.S. stock market index fund averaged just 8.7%. Yet, over the same period, the pension-payout plan I told you about was invested in a pool of stocks that, overall, averaged 48.6%. Meanwhile, as the market has been rocked so far in 2008, this company continues to stand strong. It's trading just below its opening price for the year... in stark contrast to the S&P 500's 6% slump at the end of January. It's no wonder many of the retirees using this specific plan now average payout checks nearly twice what typical U.S. retirees get every month from the Social Security Administration. You'd have to be one of the long-term, direct investors to enjoy that big of a return. But adding a steady 10% stream to your passive gains is hardly anything to sneeze at. Here's the best news. Even though this company performs on par with some of the most famous names on Wall Street, it doesn't trade right now at the same insane premiums. In fact, it's trading close to book value. Even though this outfit boasts a net 27% net profit margin, has a steady stream of incoming investment dollars (the company is growing steadily at 10% per year), and carries zero debt. You have a rare opportunity, right now, to own these shares at roughly half the price investors pay for similar industry shares. And with the growth and income combined, it's like getting paid twice on the same investment. What could be better than that? That's why I urge you to send for the FREE report, "The World's Greatest Retirement Stock: A Secret Pension-Payout Plan Even Your Broker Doesn't Know About." Plus, of course, your FREE copy of "The World's Greatest Growth Stock: Sky-Scraping Gains in the Stock That Billionaires Buy ," which I'll also rush you immediately, as soon as you give me your permission. But first, let me tackle a bigger question you might still be asking... Why Free Market Investing? "There is no kind of freedom and liberty other - Ludwig von Mises Postwar Germany in 1947 was a wasteland. Whole cities were just bombed-out shells. Air raid wreckage littered Berlin streets. Shopkeepers shuttered their shops. Meanwhile, the old Nazi currency, the reichsmark, was useless - worth 1/500th of face value. Price controls choked the economy. Black markets priced most trades using cartons of Lucky Strike cigarettes instead of money. Then a 300-pound staunch anti-Nazi economist, Ludwig Erhard, took over. Without getting approval from the Allies, Erhard abolished all price controls, letting the ragtag economy float free.
Is it any accident that Germany now has Europe's biggest economy, and some of the world's biggest banks, publishers, car makers and other companies? Absolutely not. In early 1979, Great Britain was a kind of wasteland too. Soaring energy costs sent consumer costs soaring there as well. People shopped for groceries by candlelight. Food, pints, power for the telly - prices shot up nearly 20%. Workers wanted more money. So they went on strike. Anyone alive then remembers how high garbage piled up in Finsbury Park...how grocery trucks stopped delivering to London...how even the gravediggers refused to turn a spade. Even the dead couldn't get a break. Then Maggie "Iron Lady" Thatcher stepped up to the plate. She immediately halted inflation by hiking up interest rates. Then she slowly tightened the screws on unions. Finally, she cut government spending, trimmed government staff and sold mismanaged public businesses - like British Telecom - back to the stock market and private investors. It worked. After a few years of economic pain, Britain turned around. Investors came back. Inflation rates fell by half and Britain led the way for a worldwide economic boom in the 1980s. The U.S. - after Jimmy Carter's overregulation, ravaging inflation and double-whammy oil shocks - was just as much a wreck, battered into the ground by bungling bureaucrats who made problems worse. Then Paul Volcker and Ronald Reagan blew in like a hurricane. They shut off the easy money spigot. Reagan cut back government and doled out a fat tax break. America worried. At first, America suffered...but then America boomed, as free-market thinking set the U.S. economy on fire. And for decades, Ireland was the "Bangladesh of Europe." One bad government "recovery" program after another couldn't jump-start the Emerald Isle - until big tax breaks brought in big companies and hundreds of billions in new investment dollars. Now Ireland is one of the richest countries in Europe. Do you see the pattern here? The Only Road to Real Financial Freedom You can slice it any way you like. But nothing creates freedom like wealth. And nothing throughout history has made more people free than unrestricted wealth creation. If you want to make the world good, make it easier for good and independently minded people to grow their wealth. Futurist George Gilder might have said it best: "A successful economy depends on the proliferation of the rich, on creating a large class of risk-taking men who are willing to shun the easy channels of a comfortable life in order to create new enterprise, win huge profits and invest them again." It's what history proves. It's what we believe. And it's the core philosophy that fuels the picks and analysis you'll discover in Christopher's brand-new service, Free Market Investor. Look, capitalism isn't perfect. But it's proved more perfect than any other system devised. In every issue of Free Market Investor, Christopher will lead you to the kinds of investments that fit this kind of bold, entrepreneurial model...paying tribute not just to your portfolio, but also to the only true method for building wealth ever devised. Over and over, the more free the markets, the more wealth gets made. As Citigroup's Walt Wriston told us, money goes where it's treated best. This is what I'm telling you. If you want to make money, go where money gets treated well. It's really that simple. And I'd like a chance to invite you to let Christopher help take you there.
