Income + Growth + Safety = Get double-digit returns and income checks... Dear Financial Freedom Seeker, I've just commissioned a new financial report I can't wait to send you. I call this new report, The World's Greatest Retirement Stock: A Secret "Pension-Payout Plan" Even Your Broker Doesn't Know About. And I'll give it to you FREE, yours for the asking. Why? Because I'm so blown away by this opportunity, I want everybody - facing retirement or not - to know about it. And you don't have to take my word on this, either. London's prestigious and reserved free market think tank, the Adam Smith Institute, gushes about this income-producing money move, calling it "an immense success." BusinessWeek writes that the retirees doing this are now able to live "better than ever in their golden years." In fact, retirees who pay into this little-known "pension-payout" plan now draw as much as 90% of their working incomes, says The New York Times. You can see the proof in the FREE report I'll send. Then you'll have all you need to make up your own mind. See, you can find listed it on the New York Stock Exchange. As you'll learn this play couldn't be easier. It works a lot like a stock or an exchange-traded fund. But in some ways, it also acts like a bond. So you get both bond-like safety plus fund-like diversity. Here's an added bonus: the whole plan is also backed by one of the world's richest supplies of copper reserves. Maybe that sounds complicated. But really, it's not. Over the next four minutes, I'll show you how. Just like a pension plan, it pays out income checks to shareholders. But you also get to keep all the growth in this same company's shares. It's that simple. How so? You'll find full details in your FREE copy of "The World's Greatest Retirement Stock: A Secret "Pension-Payout Plan" Even Your Broker Doesn't Know About." The short version is that lots of stocks pay dividends. But few income-paying shares combine both stable blue-chip level security with steady growth in the shares. Blue-chips like Exxon, Wal-Mart, Citigroup, and Microsoft, for instance, all pay dividends. But as of this past quarter, not a single stock in that group paid a dividend higher than this company. Meanwhile, its shares have shot up more like a growth stock rather than a stodgy, monolithic blue chip. 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? Says The American Spectator, many of the people doing this now "retire with better, more secure pensions and, increasingly, at early ages..." Others have even cashed out and used the extra money to snap up indulgent vacation packages, luxury gifts for the family and even second homes by the beach... Yet I'm 100% sure you have NEVER heard of this simple "pension-payout plan." And there's a reason for that. See, it's actually officially closed to most of us here in the U.S. You couldn't beg your way in if you tried. It doesn't matter how rich you are or who you know. Unless, that is, you let me show you a simple, sensible and perfectly legitimate way for you to "sneak in" to claim your share of the payoff. That's what I'm offering you - FREE - in your copy of The World's Greatest Retirement Stock: A Secret "Pension-Payout Plan" Even Your Broker Doesn't Know About, the report I'd like your permission to send. In just a second, I'll even introduce you to the brilliant colleague of mine who found this "backdoor" entrance to this little-known, highly reliable "pension-payout plan." He wrote the report I'll send. And inside, he's the one who shows you just how easy this is to do. You call your broker and you're done. And in less than five minutes, this gives you a new level of wealth-building 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." Like I said, there's no charge for this report. You can download it just five minutes from right now. At the end of this letter, I'll show you how. But first, here's a little taste of what you'll find inside... What Our Grandparents Knew 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 non-dividend-paying shares - by a fat margin, on average, of 6%. Not just once or twice. But every year for the last 24 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 reason enough alone to wake up and smell the Nescafé. And I firmly believe there is not one income-paying share out there right now like the one you'll read about in The World's Greatest Retirement Stock: A Secret "Pension-Payout Plan" Even Your Broker Doesn't Know About. Given the proof you'll find in this FREE report, 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, as you and I both know, not every so-called retirement "safety net" plan can make that same claim. Especially one of the biggest so-called retirement "safety-nets" of all... Retirement's Biggest Income Lie: When you find a stock like the one you'll read about in your special report, it's more than just a way to pad your portfolio. It's a way to liberate your money from a very limited but popular way of thinking about wealth-building investments in general. See, most market amateurs like to imagine a certain kind of control over the markets that just isn't there. Wall Street on the slide? The Fed can fix it. Real estate in trouble? The Fed can fix that too. Dollar in trouble? Washington has it all under control. Or so they'd like us to believe. But we know better. At the start of the 20th century, we were on top of the world. Taxes were low. Enterprise was king. And we had the power, not our bureaucrats. But by the top of the 21st century, all those ideals turned upside down. Now we've got a government with its hands in every pie, unchecked, almighty and - more often than not - in the way.
Take the "promise" of Social Security. Politicians sold it - and generations ahead of us bought it - as a surefire way to guarantee income after retirement. The money you pour in now, they said, you'll get back later when you need it. Pay in when you're young. Draw out when you're old. At least it's supposed to work that way. But in practice, it doesn't. And won't. Especially over the years ahead. For instance, if you ever felt like you had a "right" to all that money you've paid into the program, you'd better think again. Because that's simply not the case. The classic Supreme Court case Helvering v. Davis makes it plain. Neither you nor any American, said the written judgment, has any legal claim on a single penny that you've paid toward Social Security. Period. They can stop giving it to you at any time. And you'd better believe they will, the first chance they get. Whether it's by cutting benefits or raising the retirement age...hiking FICA payroll taxes... or just pilfering cash from the fund and spending it, as they've done for years...it's all a form of organized theft. Worse, it's money millions of Americans count on for retirement income...that just won't be there when it matters. 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. The growth combined with income checks offers you a kind of protection...against the financial and, yes, moral hazard of government meddling in our private financial affairs. And this is not just an American phenomenon. The same lamebrained, underhanded trick of government-hindered retirement is playing out right now, as you read this, thanks to other social pension programs all around the world...including those of Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Japan and China (especially China). 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, 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." You can see for yourself how to take the reins of your own financial security, starting with the special pension-payout plan we've discussed. And then I can show you where to look for a whole new stream of many more ways to "liberate" your portfolio-building strategy, using other undiscovered, less-inhibited ways to grow your wealth. Let Me Introduce Myself My name is Addison Wiggin. Maybe you already know me. And if you do, maybe you can already guess why what I find what writing to you about today so important. See... After years of research into financial markets...after co-authoring not one, but two No. 1 New York Times best sellers that explore this same troubling fact of history...it's my personal and inescapable conclusion that nothing has done more to damage the financial futures of millions of people around the world...and especially millions of American investors...than the boneheaded, half-witted meddling of countless thickheaded bureaucrats and social engineers. Maybe that sounds harsh. But frankly, I've done literally 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. I've also talked about it in my books, Financial Reckoning Day and Empire of Debt... not to mention a third best seller, The Demise of the Dollar. I even helped turn this same message into a feature-length documentary that premired at the Sundance Film Festival. So I've been thinking about it, I've studied it, I'm living it. I know I'm not alone. And I know I'm not the only one who gets frustrated -- with good reason-- over the hidden restrictions that hold back your average investor in the marketplace. In fact, that pretty much sums up why I've sent you this letter today. Not just to knock over a few barrels. And certainly not to brag. But because I've made it my personal mission to expose the truth about this market phenomenon. And even more importantly, I've dedicated myself to giving as many like-minded people as possible the power to short circuit the impact others have on our private efforts to grow our own wealth. The unique private pension-payout plan is just one perfect example. Like all good solutions, it's simple, not complicated. You can find out just how simple by sending for your FREE copy of the report The World's Greatest Retirement Stock: A Secret "Pension-Payout Plan" Even Your Broker Doesn't Know About. It's more than just a stock pick. It's a direct "antidote" to the fixed-income problem so many retirees will have to face. It's also a perfect introduction, by the way, to a unique kind of genius I'd like you to meet... A Young Man Who Knows It's rare you meet a guy like Christopher Hancock. Christopher is the market savant around the office. Not only did Christopher find this special "pension-payout" opportunity...and not only did he write the FREE report I'd like to send...but he's also a moral crusader for a much more fundamental, individual way of building wealth that I know you and I both identify with. That's rare for a guy who's just 31 years old. But Christopher, unlike a lot of fumbling market meddlers and careerist politicians, is not just a brilliant market analyst. He's also a devout Friedrich August von Hayek scholar. If you know anything about Hayek, that tells you everything. For instance, by the time Austria-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, 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 for FREE for up to a full year. How so? I explain at the end of this letter. Not only how to get a brand-new issue of Free Market Investor hand-delivered to your mailbox every month...but also 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 already know Christopher. And I know there's nobody out there who can help you find exactly these kinds of liberating, wealth-building moves better than he 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 read this letter. Nobody scours the globe for opportunity the way he does. Can most of the brokers working Wall Street make those same claims? Hardly. And most importantly, in 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 you 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 reading all about the unique "pension-payout" opportunity in your FREE copy of the report I'll send The World's Greatest Retirement Stock: A Secret "Pension-Payout" Plan Even Your Broker Doesn't Know About. Here's another taste of the astonishing details... A Nobel Prize-Winning Profit Formula At the core, the company behind the secret "pension-payout" plan I've been telling you about looks just like any other company that helps manage money for investors (to date, somewhere around $32.9 billion - by far the biggest among a handful of close competitors). But it's really much more. First, it's only one of 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 have steadily poured in. There is, in fact, a legal imperative that should force the cash pile this company has under management to keep growing higher. You'll read all about it in the FREE report I am sending you. So even those small management fees still add up to a huge pile of cash. Here's where your "backdoor" 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 you, 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. 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 the 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 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 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. The stock itself - which you'll find named in your FREE copy of the report I'll send - returned an average 22.9% over the last five years, with a total payoff of 181% for the same period. Could you imagine if you could confidently make that, year after year, on the rest of your retirement portfolio? And Christopher and I fully expect those averages to shoot even higher. Just $15,000 invested in this stock as recently as 2003 is now worth $42,058. And it gets better. As I said earlier, the 10-year effective annual rate of return on this stock is 21%. That's the same as turning every $15,000 invested in 1997 into $111,653. What about downturns? 1989-1994 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%. investors. 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 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 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. I'll show you how to send for a free copy. But before I do, here's an even bigger story... The Secret to Attracting Wealth Walter B. Wriston was a World War II vet. His mother taught chemistry. His father was a history professor. As a teen, 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 now as Citigroup. Under Wriston, the bank pioneered ATM machines...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 Citigroup international 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." It couldn't be clearer. It's even called "Wriston's Law." It's also our philosophy here at Free Market Investor. In short, money goes where it's treated best. We're not the first to say it. We won't be the last. But I can tell you this much - as Christopher never fails to remind us, just knowing where the money is getting treated well can be the key to finding the world's best wealth-building opportunities. It really is that simple. And nobody, in my mind, is better equipped to help you do that than Christopher. Take the pension-payout example we've talked about already...and that you'll read about in the FREE report I'm eager to send you. It attracts investors because it treats them well. Period. With gains in the shares and fat dividend checks every month. Along with the stability of a triple-A-rated bond or a well-diversified ETF. There's no other investment like it in the world. What's not to love? Or take Ireland, the shining economic jewel of the European Union. Twenty years ago, the Emerald Isle was practically the Bangladesh of Europe. Ireland couldn't keep its citizens, rich and poor alike, from jumping ship. There were no jobs. The economy was as flat as a week-old pint of beer. Then, somebody saw the writing on the wall, and before you knew it, Ireland had shredded its old tax laws, opening up the country as one of the best places in the world to do business. What happened? Ireland's economy exploded. Industry poured in. So did jobs. Talent came back. More talent stayed. Real estate shot up. Today, you can't even touch a piece of property inside Dublin for less than 1 million. Few investors realize that you don't have to take wild risks to find these kinds of paradigm-shifting opportunities. All you have to do is look beyond the ruts so many investing amateurs have grown used to. Literally hundreds of undiscovered pure profit plays are sitting right here on the NYSE, under the noses of Wall Street brokers who are just too distracted by the mainstream to sniff them out. Here's another excellent example, taken straight from Christopher's impressive Free Market Investor portfolio... The World's Greatest Growth Stock: First, let me give you the background... When poverty forced Andrew Carnegie's family out of Scotland, he was just 13 years old. By 16, he was making $2.50 a week as a messenger boy, sneaking into theaters to watch plays. And borrowing books from a family friend, so he could educate himself. By age 66, Carnegie was so rich he sold his company for nearly $5.3 billion in today's dollars... and then started giving it away. He 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. And a grant award for heroism. He even funded the fossil dig that yielded the Diplodocus carnegiei, one of the longest dinosaurs ever discovered...and at one point, he tried to give the Philippines enough cash - $467 million in today's dollars - to buy their freedom from Spain. How did a poor boy from Scotland get so rich? Simple. And you already know the answer. Carnegie made steel...cheap. And that's the key to this next impressive market move. See, before Carnegie came along, it cost $160 a ton to make steel rails. He cut that to $17 per ton. And while America grew, he supplied it. For railroads. For bridges. For building. "The nation that makes the cheapest steel," said Carnegie, "has other nations at its feet." On the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th Street in Manhattan stands a monument to cheap steel and America's industrial boom - the Empire State Building, for 40 years the tallest in the world and a beacon to American wealth creation. But that too wouldn't have been possible without Carnegie's innovations - the tower was made with more than 60,000 tons of steel, at the height of the Great Depression. Was it any accident, then, that railroads and cities spread across America? Cheap steel made it happen. Likewise today, is it any accident that seven of the world's 10 tallest skyscrapers aren't here in the U.S., but in Asia? Not at all. This company's incredibly cheap steel - the most efficiently produced in the world - is helping to feed Asia's free market transformation. And just like in 20th-century America, Asia's love affair with skyscrapers - and steel - is just getting started. Between 2007-2011, This $39.8 billion giant Christopher has in the Free Market Investor portfolio is no small-time player. It already has a solid monopoly on the massive Asian steel market...including unrestricted access to some of the fastest-growing, hungriest construction centers in the world...Korea, Singapore, China, Japan and India. China alone plans to add another 1,000 skyscrapers to the Shanghai skyline by 2011. What's more, according to Christopher's contacts in Asia, China could double its steel demand by 2031 - equal to all the steel sold in the West already. It's nothing short of a "second coming" for steel. Christopher is urging you to move on this quickly. And he's not the only one staking his reputation on it - Berkshire Hathaway cornered a 4% share in this same company last year. Of course, the shares jumped on the news. But the good news is the shares are still fairly valued -- with plenty of upside left. So there's still room for you to get in, if you act soon. And you can read all about this giant steel profit play in a second FREE report I want to send. It's called The World's Greatest Growth Stock: Skyscraping Gains in the Stock That Billionaires Buy. I'll rush you a copy immediately, just as soon as you say the word. Christopher has me convinced. No other company has a better position to help you get rich off this event. You'll agree when you see the proof in your FREE copy of this report. This mystery company has pver three times more assets than it does debts, including a huge pile of cash. And Asia's exploding urban sprawl 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 steel in the early 1900s, it shot up an average of 66% per year...26 years in a row. This "second skyscraper boom" should have an even bigger effect. And anyone holding the shares in the company Christopher's recommending right now should make a fortune, starting with the first day of owning shares... Get an Instant Gain Just by Getting in at Today's Price What's crazy is that this company is so off the radar right now from what Wall Street's going gaga about, you can still pick up shares at a relative bargain price(as of this writing - that could change as the shares go up). Imagine paying less than sticker price for any asset. Multiply that feeling when you buy underpriced shares in a company that's about to take off. Which is exactly what this company should do, and very soon. See, 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 steel. Without compromising quality, this new process lets this company use abundant, powdered iron ore, instead of more expensive iron ore pellets. It also lets the company switch to cheaper forms of coal. 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. 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...this company's profit stream should just keep on continuing to grow. This is about as close as you could get to buying U.S. 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 about 75% made of steel. This company has grown 34% on average for each of the last eight years. Berkshire's betting on it. Asia is counting on it. 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. Christopher calls this an easy 50% gain over the months ahead on top of the huge gains it's already seen. Possibly higher, given the recent move to an even better processing method. What's more, this opens doors for Christopher and his readers to make hugely profitable moves on "no-brainer" Hong Kong developers and cement manufacturers, too.

"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.
Overnight, the black markets disappeared...within a year, the deutsch mark replaced the reichsmark...and a whole new German economic miracle was born. 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 as I said earlier, 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 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, 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. You can try Free Market Investor now and for up to a full year...an issue every month, plus weekly updates on all the recommendations...access to a private members-only Web site...along with the special reports I've told you about...all at no charge, for up to a full year. You decide if you like it. If not, everything I've sent is still yours to keep. I'll give you the full details in just a second. But first, here's just one more example of what you could be doing to "liberate" your wealth over the months and years ahead... The World's Greatest Along with the other two FREE special reports I just promised you, there's one more I want to send. And this one is different from what you'd expect. In this one, you'll find no ticker symbols. No stock stories. No nitty-gritty analysis. Instead, you'll find a whole new way of making money that lets you break free of how most other market amateurs invest. See, there's a next level. The best market-players in U.S. history have all reached it. And with a lot less effort than you might imagine. In this third FREE report, Christopher shows you how. Surprisingly, he's boiled it down to four essential questions that you can ask yourself every single time you consider buying a stock. These four questions form the core of Christopher's own money-making strategy. They're also the same four questions asked by other world-class market mavens. And if you want to make money in these faster, farther-reaching, more global markets, you'll have to ask yourself each of these four questions every time you make a move with your money. I'm not going to give it away here. Because you'll get as much from the background Chris gives as you will from discovering the simple, four-question strategy for yourself. But you can read all about it just minutes from now, if that's what you're ready to do, the moment you download this third FREE report, "The World's Greatest Market-Beating Strategy: The Only Four Questions You Ever Need to Ask." Again, I'll rush this to you FREE along with the other two gift reports we talked about.

But you'll have to move quickly, because all three of these moves are already taking shape for Christopher's Free Market Investor subscribers. Do this... Send for the FREE reports. Study them.

Immediately, I'll send you the three gift reports. And I'll see to it that you start getting regular issues. Look everything over and if you like it, that's great. If not, you're not on the hook in any way. Keep everything with my thanks for giving Christopher and our brand-new Free Market Investor letter a try. No pressure. It's really up to you. Just be aware, though, that one thing nobody can decide is where history is headed. Faster technology, weaker governments, shifting capital. It's happening. And the pace is accelerating. The impact is spreading ever wider.
Economist Joseph Schumpeter called it "creative destruction." The old is replaced by the new. There's no reason to look the other way. You can't stop it. You can't ignore it. You can only make sure you don't miss out on the opportunities it creates, especially the opportunities for making money over the years ahead. And I firmly believe that's where your three free gift reports, along with your free trial subscription to Free Market Investor, will prove essential. Where do we expect to find profits? Everywhere. That means, by the way, you'll finally get a chance to tap into all those opportunities so many other mainstream U.S. investors miss. Including opportunities that are making fortunes for investors outside of the Wall Street rut. Think about it. "There are so many global leaders based outside of the U.S.," says Gregg Wolper, senior fund analyst at Morningstar, "that limiting yourself simply to the U.S. doesn't make much sense." As recently as 2001, only about 8 cents out of every new mutual fund dollar found its way into investments outside the U.S. Now that figure is more like 77 cents out of every dollar. In other words, other smart investors are targeting more than three-quarters of their investment wealth on moneymaking moves outside the U.S. And with good reason. Just last year, international funds did better than double the return of U.S. mutual funds, with an average gain 42% better than the U.S. average. Free Market Investor will open you up to those opportunities, in a way that no other advisory letter can. You'll find most of these undiscovered gems listed right here on the NYSE, alongside American blue chips you already know and trust. Christopher will show you how to get in and get started. But again, it's up to you now to make the next move. What will you decide?
