The Bear Market Strategy This controversial and little-used Last year, it made as much as $10.96 million per day for one astute investor... And it now stands behind the top three most profitable market moves in history... For the first time, we're revealing the five-step secret that lets you do this...
Dear Fellow Stock Market Realist, I call it the "paddle strategy." Because, frankly, in the flood of falling stock prices we're headed for this year... this is the one controversial market tool you're going to want to have in your canoe. Why? Out of the handful of money-making options you'll have, this "paddle strategy" may be the only one that allows you to lock in triple-digit gains over a short period of time. It's not new or unproven. In fact, the "paddle strategy" stands behind no fewer than 14 of history's greatest personal stock market performances. From the start of the markets in the 1500s... right up the billions of dollars this approach is making today, for a few savvy market players I'll name for you below. It's even the one single technique that was used to secure the three greatest single isolated market moves in history -- two of which happened just over the past 12 months. This "paddle strategy" has been so successful, governments have even tried to ban it. Not once but at least three times. Fortunately none have those bans have ever stuck. Today, this little-known "paddle strategy" is perfectly legal. And just as powerful as ever. Just last year, one investor used this "paddle strategy" -- in the middle of collapsing markets for banks, lenders, and other companies connected to the property bust -- to add as much as $10.96 million into his personal accounts, every single day. Including weekends. Another California man, Andrew Lasiker, used this same "paddle strategy" to crank out over 1,000% gains in less than a year. Bill Allen, also of California, used this to pile up over $400 million. And Michael Brandt, also from California, just did this and made 300%. And they're not alone. A handful of hedge funds use this "paddle strategy" regularly, with huge success. But up until recently they've successfully hogged most of the gains for themselves and their rich clients -- demanding as much as $1 million just to open an account. Otherwise, only two out of every ten people in the markets ever try this. Some because they don't understand it. Others because they don't know it's possible. That's about to change. I've just gotten permission to share with you, this same five-part strategy -- But before I do, let me just give you a few more details... How Well Does This "Paddle Strategy" Work? Daniel Drew couldn't even read. Yet he made huge sums using this simple "paddle strategy." So did one of his protégés, Jay Gould, who used this technique to become a multimillionaire before his 21st birthday. When "Diamond" Jim Fisk started doing this -- after years of waiting tables and selling tickets for the circus -- he became so wealthy and famous on Wall Street, Cary Grant once played him in a movie. Joseph Kennedy, father to U.S. president John Kennedy, famously used the "paddle strategy" to launch his family fortune with a $1 million haul, in the thick of the massive market crash in 1929. Market legend Jesse Livermore used the "paddle strategy" to get so rich, he used to commute to Wall Street every morning on his 300 foot yacht. In a single afternoon the "paddle strategy" made him over $250,000. A year later, Livermore used it again to make another $3 million. And again, during one of the worst bear markets in U.S. history, he used this technique again to make his biggest haul yet -- nearly $100 million. That's nearly $1.14 billion in today's dollars. You can read all about it in his book, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator. More recently, J. Kyle Bass did this to make over 527% gains. Now he drives a $200,000 Porsche and takes vacations on private islands. When the Financial Times of London interviewed Bass, he said today's unusual markets offer anyone using this approach a "once-in-a-lifetime, low-risk, incredibly high-reward scenario." Daniel Loeb, a New York executive who oversees about $5.7 billion, says he's "only" up about 160% using this strategy so far. He told reporters he wishes he'd jumped on this sooner. Yet, wouldn't you like to make 160% on $5.7 billion? Or even those kinds of gains on a pile of cash that's a fraction of that size? The Secret Behind "The Most The whole hedge fund industry started when former Fortune magazine editor Alfred Jones built a pool of investors to use something like our "paddle strategy" back in the 1950s. Commodities billionaire Paul Tudor Jones used it too, to triple his position during the collapse of the market in 1987 -- for a personal $100 million gain. Even at mega financial firm Goldman Sachs, three analysts -- all under the age of 40 -- just used this technique to make an incredible $4 billion for the firm. For Goldman, it was a chance to make back some of the billions they lost on bad upside bets on the property market. For each of the three analysts, it meant a $10 million Christmas bonus. But the biggest winner so far has to be 51-year old Harvard grad and father of two, John Paulson. Paulson runs a highly secretive investing group that, as best as anybody can tell, just hauled in close to $12 billion. Most of it, thanks to this technique. Paulson himself walked with as much as $4 billion. That's like making $10.96 million per day, every day of the year, including weekends. The Financial Times calls it "the most profitable single trade of all time." So what are these guys doing that you can't do? Nothing. In fact, doing this yourself can actually be surprisingly simple. See, while private hedge fund managers and well-heeled investors might have millions and even billions to play with... and while they do sometimes have special access to some pretty special investing tools... the time-tested, core secrets of the "paddle strategy" itself are within your grasp. Provided you understand what to do. And I can show you. We'll start by just pointing out what most market players miss -- simply that there's a whole segment of market opportunity that I'm almost certain that, up to this point, you've overlooked. You see, most people learn that investing is only about chasing shares on the way up. Like they did in the '80s, '90s, and for a little while there in the property-lead "recovery" of just a couple years back. That's fine, if you've got good stocks and you're content to just hang on to let the occasional dips "average out" of your long-term results. But what about that huge amount of money left on the table when markets are in freefall? Maybe this takes you by surprise. But in crashing markets, this "paddle strategy" can give you a way to make money you may not have known even existed. You see, when the indexes backslide, a simplistic "buy and forget" approach to stocks starts to cost you. Gains fade quickly or even disappear. So investors are usually left with a choice: Either hang on and eat the losses or... if they're lucky enough to pull out in time... park in cash and sit it out. However, some of the market's most savvy players realized a long time ago that there's a certain predictability to the market's downside too. And you can profit from it too, provided you know how. Sometimes, with much larger and faster gains than you can get just buying shares in a rising market. That's where the refined "paddle strategy" approach I'd like to introduce you to comes into play. See, many market amateurs don't do this because they've never heard of it. Others just think it's scary or difficult. And it can be, if you don't make the right choices or follow the right steps. But I can show you a much easier way, in a never-before-available research report I'd love to send you. It's called "Secrets of the 'Paddle Strategy': Five Ways to Lock in Triple-Digit Gains Even As Stock Markets Crash." It's written by a brilliant friend of mine I'd like you to meet. Inside, this friend and skilled analyst not only explains an alternate way to get rich on backsliding shares, but he shows you his five proprietary criteria for picking out these rarely spotted opportunities... with reduced risk... in a way that makes his own refined version of this "paddle strategy" extremely effective. It should also work perfectly in the rough markets ahead. Of course, you can't buy this manual anywhere. But I'll be happy to send you a copy immediately. It won't take you more than a few minutes to read. And it only takes a phone call to get started. Or you can follow the simple, instant instruction I give you at the end of this letter. There's just one catch: You'll need to act on this quickly. You see, right now I have permission to offer you this report... along with a stream of lucrative "paddle strategy" plays... in a way that I've never had before and will never have again. And by the way, that's not the only reason to move on this quickly. Why Now? If you think we've seen the worst on Wall Street so far, you'd better buckle up. The subprime wipeout alone, says history's best paid fund manager John Paulson, will last the next two and a half years. Even Merrill Lynch says Wall Street is "in denial" about a U.S. recession -- because recession has already arrived. "According to our analysis," one of the firm's most recent reports says, "this isn't even a forecast any more but is a present day reality." Goldman Sachs agrees. And other big-time analysts are lining up to say the same. We're 'undoubtedly in a recession," says famous investor Jim Rogers. And Nouriel Roubini, the economist who called the housing bust, calls today the "tipping point" for U.S. consumers. "The effects will be ugly," Roubini just told CBS Marketwatch "Expect [this bust] to be much nastier, deeper and more protracted than the 2001 recession." Even AT&T says they've had to cut record numbers of phone and broadband accounts because customers can't meet their bills. Meanwhile, U.S. manufacturing is shrinking, food prices are up, and so are factory prices which are now at a 34-year high. So let me ask you this... How long do you think this new bust -- which everyone sees coming -- should last? Remember, from 1972-73, the markets plunged 49% over 21 months. And during the 2000-2002 dotcom bust, the S&P 500 alone fell 50% over a 30 month period. This time, maybe we'll get lucky and it won't last long at all. I'll put it another way... If markets are really set for the rattling of a lifetime -- and more and more analysts believe that's the case -- which side of stocks do you really want to be on? I'll tell you what the great Jesse Livermore said, "There is only one side to the stock market, and it is not the bull side or the bear side, but the right side."
Why pass those opportunities up if you don't have to? It's really that simple. You see, with the subprime and the foreclosure wave still rolling in... with the yield curve that's flipped... and a worldwide credit crunch underway... there's no doubt in my mind we're headed for some very rough times ahead. Add to that a coming wave of commercial property wipeouts... already soaring energy prices... an explosion in private credit card debt... and the latest news about disappearing jobs... and it's pretty clear this isn't just a blip. We're in for a lashing. And it's likely to last a long time. Maybe well into 2009. Will you see stocks soaring anytime soon? Not likely. But what you will see, if you know where to look, is lots of opportunity to make a fortune on this other side of the market I've been telling you about. The world's best "paddle strategy" players are there right now, making fortunes. And you could be too. Simply by doing what I'd like to show you how to do. In fact, you can read all about this technique in the special "how-to" manual I mentioned earlier, called, "Secrets of the 'Paddle Strategy': Five Ways to Lock in Triple-Digit Gains Even As Stock Markets Crash" But before you do, let me just give you an example in practice. I want you to imagine it's last summer... Subprime-laden banks like Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Citigroup (NYSE:C) are just starting to show their cracks. And straight "buy and hold" investors are wondering what to do. With the "paddle strategy" in your arsenal, what might you have done? Here's how it could have panned out... Paddle Strategy Play #1: Citigroup It's easy to forget these days that Citicorp has a long, dignified history. It was the first bank with an overseas branch in 1913... the first bank with over $1 billion in reserves, by 1918... and it became the largest commercial bank in the world by 1929. Citicorp invented compound interest on savings accounts, unsecured personal loans and checking accounts, and MasterCard. It invented negotiable CDs and the 24-hour ATM. And became the world's biggest issuer of credit cards. As late as last June, shares still traded above $50. Citigroup's accounts said the firm had a pile of assets. Is it any surprise they had the market fooled? Yet you could have seen trouble coming, if you had known where to look. Take a look at this chart...
See, banks used to have a rule: If you lend money to one person, you have to have a matching amount of cash parked in your vault as a "reserve"... just so you don't go broke if that loan goes bad. Only, Citigroup thought they were smarter. Instead of carrying the loans, they "securitized" whole pools of loans -- turning billions of dollars in subprime mortgages into investments they could sell to Wall Street. Only, once housing went bust, nobody had the money to pay loans back. And nobody on Wall Street wanted to buy those repackaged investments. What seemed like a great idea suddenly turned billions of dollars worth of these "securitized" mortgage assets into dead weight. And Citigroup was stuck with them, quietly eating a hole in their bottom line. It was like sitting on a ticking time bomb. One analyst, a man named Dan Amoss, blew the cover off the story in a message he sent out to a small group of market players:
He was right on target. On October 1, Citi stock closed at $47.72. Had we had a way to reach you then, Dan could have done more than just tell you about all the hidden troubles Citigroup wasn't revealing. He could have also shot out an alert telling you exactly how to play the coming bust with a special "paddle strategy" move. Put options are just one of the ways to play crashing shares that you'll read about in your free copy of "Secrets of the "Paddle Strategy: Five Ways to Lock in Triple-Digit Gains Even As Stock Markets Crash. The beauty of using the put options as part of your "paddle strategy" approach is that you not only control your level of risk, but you can often make large gains even on some very small moves. And had it been possible at that time, Dan could have sent you a message that outlined -- step by step -- exactly what to say to your broker to make a gain on this move. For this one, the best thing you could have done was to snap up the "January 2009 Citigroup $40 put option." You could have done this with a five minute phone call -- the very next day -- for as little as $2 per contract. By the start of this year, you could have watched those same contracts soar past $14. That's a gain of at least 600% in just over 90 days. Not too shabby, right? Here's what it could have looked like for you...
And remember, you could have done this even while the rest of the market -- including most brokers and even most mainstream investors -- were suffering one of the most painful Christmas seasons of their investing careers. That's just the start of it. You won't just be able to use this strategy to hedge against collapsing bank stocks. You can do this well into the rest of 2008 and 2009 on plenty of other "at risk" companies too. For instance... Paddle Stragegy Play #2: Circuit City How many times, when you've gone out to get a new stereo... a new television... a new laptop... or even something as simple as an iPod... have you had the salesman turn around, after you've already decided to buy, hit you with a pitch for an expensive extended warranty? Too often, I'll bet. Lots of retailers do it. What you don't know is that some live off it. And Circuit City (NYSE:CC) is one of them. Circuit City's superstores don't even break even on the equipment they sell. Right now, in fact, they're not making money at all. But without sales of all those warranty and repair agreements, they'd be even deeper in the soup. Here's the clincher. In a 2003 bid to "cut costs" Circuit City dumped their commission sales program and switched to low hourly pay. They dumped 3,900 senior sales associates and hired scores of inexperienced teenagers to replace them. Speculators, who love the sound of reduced costs, started bidding up the share price -- from a low of $5 to over $30 by March 2006. Over $1.2 billion in capital-wasting share buybacks fed the mania. Here's the thing. Have you ever been to a store where a pimply, unmotivated teenager had no idea how to help you or where to send you to find what you're looking for?
Today the company faces an industry-wide slowdown in sales... with an under-skilled, unmotivated sales team... and no cash cushion left to keep them afloat. What does it take to see the writing on the wall? By mid July 2007 Circuit City's problems hit critical mass. And their shares started to bleed cash all over the trading floor...
What could you have done? The timing was perfect for another "paddle strategy" move. In this case, you would have wanted to jump on Circuit City's January 2008 $15 put options. They wouldn't have set you back more than $1.50 per contract. And by the beginning of this year, you could have sold back those same contracts for $11 a piece... for another impressive 600% gain. It would have looked like this...
And keep in mind, you would have done this in just under seven months, too. Very impressive. But here's the real challenge... With so many stocks reeling from today's rough market... and so many different forces grinding away at the indexes... how do you know where and when these very specific opportunities to play the downside will come up? When you find them, how do you figure out what to do next? This should help... How to Spot a "Zombie" Company A "zombie" company is the Wall Street version of the living dead -- a real horror show of hidden flaws that's just a few corporate events or earnings announcements away from a death rattle. I'm sure you know the ones I'm talking about. The Enrons, WorldComs, and Tycos. Companies that look good on paper because they've hired crafty accountants who can make them look that way... along with PR teams who can spin their fantasies on financial TV programs too. Anything a "zombie company" can do to woo a shareholder, it will. And anything they can do to keep on covering up their warts, flaws and other financial foibles... they'll do that too. Some -- I won't name names -- have even taken shareholder money and sued the few analysts who have guts enough to call them on their bluff. But here's the thing. For decades, the best "paddle strategy" players have made themselves famous... not just for getting rich... but for exposing exactly these kinds of accounting scandals, weak companies, and toxic shares. And these are exactly the guys you want to follow, the ones with the guts to take on the facts, blow through the hype, and reveal the real story behind these companies on the brink of collapse. Not just because it's only right for the market to know about companies on the brink of collapse... but, because out there on the brink, you can use this strategy to pile up a fortune. Take the story of Jim Chanos... The Courage to Get Rich Chanos is the famous forensic accountant who first blew the whistle on Enron. The day before Enron collapsed, 14 different analysts had it rated as a "buy" or a "strong buy." Fortune magazine called it one of the "most admired companies" in the world. Shares sold for $85 a piece. Days later, they fell to 40 cents. It was a tragedy for most investors. And an embarrassment for Wall Street. But not for Chanos. He used the "paddle strategy" on Enron's shares. And he told all his clients to do the same. They made a massive fortune. So big, Barron's called it "the trade of the decade, if not of the last 50 years." Other brokers trusted Enron's numbers. But Chanos asked the question nobody else would: "How does Enron make money?" He checked Enron's 10-K and 10-Q filings with the SEC to find out. And found made-up gains, hidden debts, and near-zero cash flow. The world's "best company" was a fraud. By revealing that and playing the downside, Chanos lined his own pockets. But he also did the market a huge favor -- by exposing shameful secrets even Enron's regulators had missed. So how do you find the next Enron? More importantly, how do you play it in your portfolio as it falls apart? For one thing, you can send right now for the manual I mentioned earlier, "Secrets of the 'Paddle Strategy': Five Ways to Lock in Triple-Digit Gains Even As Stock Markets Crash." It lays out the full details for you, including five different kinds of powerful company signals or "triggers" to watch for. Each of these signals can reveal a chance for you to make a fortune on crashing shares. Does that sound like work? Maybe. But not to worry, because making this work for yourself gets much easier if you have someone doing all that research and homework for you. Someone who can reveal not only which companies are on the brink, but how exactly you could play those situations for an enormous payoff. I'd like to introduce you to that person right now... Success Secrets of a Detail Man The hardest school in the world for learning how to invest isn't Harvard. It isn't Yale. It's the grind of the market itself, where you're learning hands on. With real money at your fingertips. That's how Dan Amoss, the man I want you to meet, got his beginning. For years, he was a right-hand "detail man" to one of the best bottom-up analysts in the business, Robert McDorman. You might know about Bob. His high-end mutual fund (you need at least $2.5 million just to get in) was ranked as one of the world's top 10 best performers by the Lipper international fund rating service and Barron's. From 1990 to 2005, Bob's fund cranked out an incredible 17.6% compounded annual return. That's enough to turn every $100,000 account into over $1.14 million. That makes him one of the best fund managers in the business. Bob was Dan's personal mentor. He taught him everything, including his own fund's rigorous discipline for picking the handful of shares good enough for his fund. Debt and credit risk analysis, total balance sheet review, interviews with not only the companies managers, but also customers and the competition, context review to find the "inflection points" for the company in the overall industry. McDormand's fund now manages $1.55 billion. You don't get to take charge of that much money without working for it. And that's the same business ethic brought over to us when we talked him into taking over one of our most famous "big picture" market research services, Strategic Investment. If you're a subscriber, you already know that everything Dan learned at the fund has paid off. Not only is he sitting on gains as high as 156%, 275%, 127%, 126%, and 590% in the portfolio, but... He's also brought in gains like the 144% his readers have had a chance to make on National Oilwell Varco, since November 2006. Or the 79% they've seen so far on Quicksilver Resources since September of that same year. All while the rest of the market had hardly budged. Then something happened. As the property bubble first started to burst... dragging down related stocks... Dan realized his same relentless approach to picking winning stocks on the upside, might pay off on these crashing shares too. How? By opening up all kinds of "paddle strategy" plays. Not just on the sick financial firms and other companies with "cooked" books that we're seeing right now... but by exposing even more imbalances in other companies that have almost always lost money. Like the airlines and biotechs... semiconductor companies and computer hardware... restaurant chains... you know the ones I'm talking about. Companies that hire slick, smooth-talking CEOs who love to sell their own company shares on the sly... Companies hiding collapsing cash flow... businesses on a pricy acquisition binge... fad stocks with temporary "miracle" brands (remember the mania over "Cabbage Patch Dolls")... and companies that book deals where all the income arrives now, while all the expenses get put off until later. All these, Dan realized, had offered up almost untouched "paddle play" opportunities for fortune over and over again. And, up until now, he and his group of readers had let them slip by. That had to change. So Dan narrowed the field and came up with five unbeatable signals for spotting companies in trouble. Companies, in Dan's expert opinion, ripe to give gains to anybody ready to give the time-tested "paddle strategy" technique a try. One of these opportunities, we asked him to write up for one of our widely read e-letters. He told our readers all about Hansen Natural, a hyped-up energy drink and soda company. Dan called Hansen a near-perfect company to play "short" and showed our readers why. Just six days later, we got an email from reader Roger R. saying he was already up 37.9%...
Naturally, we loved the idea of giving Dan's readers even more room to play this whole new kind of opportunity. And Dan loved the idea of being able to recommend short plays -- and even more often, profitable but lower risk put option plays -- against all the crashing shares he was finding. But there was one hitch. See, some of the options markets for some of these collapsing shares were just too illiquid to share with all 17,000 readers of Dan's Strategic Investment readers. And most of them were just a little too sophisticated or "rich" for the average reader. That's when Dan's brand new research service, the long awaited Strategic Short Report was finally born. We've been "beta testing" it now for six months, aching to release it to the public. Now it's finally ready. And that's why I'm writing you today, because I'm hoping you're ready too. Let me just give you another glimpse of the kinds of recommendations and opportunities Dan will scout out for his regular Strategic Short Report alerts... Paddle Strategy Play #3: e*Trade Just about every financial-services firm loaded up on mortgage-related assets during the property boom.. But e*Trade must have gobbled them up like candy. Even as far back as 2005, the company was making more on interest income from those mortgages than they booked in brokerage fees. When mortgage resets soared and foreclosure rates skyrocketed, e*Trade's shares started to unravel. From June 2007 to October, they plunged from $25 down to $15...
Now that you know how to play sliding shares, what if you had "missed out?" In this case, it didn't matter. You could have jumped in by early October, when the January 2008 ETFC $15 put options where going then for just $2. Less than a month later, the news for EFTC got much worse. As the value of the subprime loans on its balance sheet fell, it became clear that e*Trade needed more cash to stay in the banking business. Without it, e*Trade could spiral into bankruptcy. And that would have been all you needed to know to make your "paddle play." Because, you see, once the fundamental winds start blowing against an overly indebted company, its stock market value can unravel very quickly. And that's just what happened. By the end of December 2007, you could have walked with a solid gain of more than 597% -- and in just under 60 days! Here's what your gain could have looked like...
Here's another one I wish you hadn't missed... Paddle Strategy Play #4: NutriSystem, Inc. NutriSystem was the hottest stock in the market. Until it wasn't. That's how fads work. And just like the failed dieter who sneaks a midnight cookie, that's when management teams try to cheat the tape. Here's what Dan wrote about NutriSystems back in May 2006, to a small group of individuals, when the rest of Wall Street still loved the shares:
Then Dan dropped a bombshell. Insiders at NutriSystem had already dumped over $100 million of their own shares, just in the first five months of the year. And the company CEO, former dotcom entrepreneur Mike Hagan, had cashed in over $82 million of the shares since the prior summer. By 2007, the rest of the market started to wake up to what Dan had uncovered. NutriSystem shares started to plunge. By September 2007 -- at $55 a share -- it was still flying too high. And it turned out, that was the perfect moment to strike...
Here's what your gains could have looked like...
As you can see, you could have snapped up the January 2008 NutriSystem $50 put option for $5 per contract. By the end of the year, you could have cashed in at around $25... for a solid gain of about 400%. Again, not bad. But what if you could be making these kinds gains all the time, even during the turbulent markets ahead? Easily The Richest Time In History For months, Dan has tracked at least one opportunity that could easily give you between 3 and 5 times your money. This one also has deep roots in the wipeout of the subprime mortgage market. And all Dan's doing now is just waiting for the signal. When it comes, he'll release his recommendation to his earliest Strategic Short Report readers. You'll want to move on it quickly, because you may only have a few days to respond. Dan's looking at a handful of other key moves too, connected with an explosion in consumer credit card debt... and the havoc that's going to land on both the card issuers and the retail industry. You'll want to move on these quickly too. The moment you sign up to receive Dan's Strategic Short Report, Dan will show you exactly how to get started and exactly what to do. Just don't wait long, because the clock is already ticking. More and more these days, every passing hour on the open market offers up enormous opportunity. And that's only going to get more true over the rocky months ahead... Double Your Money. Twice. A couple of Dan's latest beta picks just shot up 120% and 130%. That's better than double your money. Twice. And remember, that's even before the first official issue of his Strategic Short Report hit the streets. How much better could it get? Just watch the economy. Rough news can be good news, when you let Dan help you protect yourself and grow money on the downside. And if that's the case, there's a lot of volatility ahead. The Fed is flooding the market with weak cash. It's not working, so they're only going to get more aggressive over the year ahead. Inflation is back, and that can't be good. And gearing up toward 2008 elections, brace yourself for a bunch of populist agendas -- including tax hikes and trade policies that will create a whole new slew of losers across the board. Others will lose money. But when stocks fall, Strategic Short Report readers should have a chance to come out way ahead. The best news is, it has gotten harder than ever for companies to hide their flaws. Enron made us suspicious. The age of digitized information made us powerful.
You'll see how when you read Dan's report, "Secrets of the 'Paddle Strategy': Five Ways to Lock in Triple-Digit Gains Even As Stock Markets Crash." It gives you a complete primer on how to get set up for these kinds of down-market moves... how to spot the five best kinds of opportunity... how to get as much as 10-to-1 money-making leverage on even the smallest downside moves... and even more on why this may be the best time for this unique strategy, in market history. The Bear Market Gains Look, let's face it. We live in an age when companies can paint a pretty false picture of what they're really worth... when Wall Street darlings eat themselves up from the inside out... and when biotech companies promise breakthrough drugs they can't deliver, just to goose the marketplace. These are like the opposite of good businesses. And you know what happens to those kinds of businesses when markets fly apart. Last time around do you remember Qualcomm at $1,000? It ended up trading in the mid $20s. If you bought the hype, that sure hurt. But anyone who played the backslide could have made a fortune. How about Amazon.com at $250 per share? Or Priceline at $165? Amazon fell to $6. Priceline fell to $3. There too, you could have made a bundle on the way down. The same goes for PSI Net falling from $60 to $1 and change... Lucent crashing to $2... Red Hat plunging from over $95 to just under $5. Once you spotted the problems, you could have piled up cash. Airlines? They piled up net losses of $5 billion between 1947 and 2003. They're even worse long plays now, with energy prices soaring and cash-strapped travelers set to scale back. Chip companies and computer companies, in general, are also a perennial bust... restaurants... biotechnology research firms... these are cash-poor industries that you can count on to crank out one brilliant downside opportunity after another. What Dan Can Do For You One of Dan's short-market heroes, hedge fund manager Carlo Cannell, has churned out 25% returns every year since 1992, focusing on short plays in exactly these kinds of stocks. Think about that. 25% a year for 15 years turns every $10,000 into $284,217... or every $100,000 account into $2.84 million. Pretty good for specializing in stocks that DON'T go up, yes? Think you could use an extra $2.84 million, 15 years from now? But I expect Dan to pile up his own long list of fans. If Dan's brand new Strategic Short Report does what I'm confident it's going to do, here's how it's going to help you during the turbulent markets 2008-2009 markets ahead...
You're not going to find any service like this out there. Not with someone as diligent as Dan Amoss at the helm. Not only has Dan helped manage a fund with $1.55 billion under management, he did so at the right hand of one of the top 10 international fund managers in America, according to Lipper and Barron's. And for clients who pay $2.5 million a piece, just to open their accounts. That's better experience than you could get at any Ivy League business school. Yet, Dan can tell you too -- chapter and verse -- the secrets of all the best short and long market players in the industry. He's a relentless student of what works. And he's got the growing track record to prove it, piling up triple-digit gainers on both sides of the market. An Elite Service Fast Company magazine put it like this...
I'm sure you can imagine, doing that kind of research doesn't come cheap. The best discoveries are bits of data companies have usually actively tried to bury deep. In other words... to get a diamond, you've got to dig. And that has a cost. Just one of the tools Dan used during his work with the $3 billion fund, for instance, cost $10,000 per year for a subscription. And one of the services he's going to use for finding his Strategic Short Report picks regularly charges $8,000 per year. To tell the truth, it cost us a pretty penny just to woo Dan himself on to our research team. So, sure, we're not going to go into this without trying to recoup our costs. One year of Strategic Short Report -- 12 full months -- costs $1995. That's a mere fraction of what I believe you'll have a chance to make back -- very quickly -- just on Dan's first few alerts. Keep in mind, the Strategic Short Report is an elite new research service. If Dan's results make the service too popular, that might skew results. So you never know if we'll have to close open enrollment at a later date. Just to keep that from happening. I hope you'll be one of the lucky ones who gets in early. If you are, you'll get first crack at this special more-than-half-off deal. What You Get When You Sign On As soon as you become one of Dan's Strategic Short Report members, I'll immediately send you your comprehensive starter manual, "Secrets of the 'Paddle Strategy': Five Ways to Lock in Triple-Digit Gains Even As Stock Markets Crash." This will get you ready for your first alert in no time. Every week, you'll get Dan's latest carefully assembled private research. He'll show you which companies he's watching... what makes them an easy target... and exactly what to do and say if you call your broker to lock in a move. You'll make the call. But Dan will stay in touch on what comes next. He'll help you follow every market shift... every important piece of news... and anything that might affect the play. When it's time to lock-in gains or make any other move, he'll let you know. I'll also send you a password that lets you check up on every move in the portfolio, plus all the current and back issues, on Dan's private Strategic Short Report website. And of course, with every new alert, you'll have even more new opportunities to put Dan's proprietary research and this powerful strategy to work. Follow these recommendations and I'm confident you'll make much more money than you would just trying to play the long side of the market, especially over the coming year. In fact, let me make this guarantee: If you decide you're not happy with what Dan and the Strategic Short Report are doing for you, for any reason... if you're following the research and it's just not working for you like you planned... let me know within the next 90 days... and I'll refund your entire subscription, no questions asked.

Joe Schriefer, Publisher P.S. We had some good times. Now we're in for some rough times. You can either sit on the sidelines... or you can use these markets to make money. It's that simple. I hope to hear from you soon. P.P.S. Dan just has one more thing to add. He decided to pull together a last-minute "emergency" report called "Single Best Play in the Market Right Now: Why It's Not Too Late to Short Financials." I'd like to rush it to you today. Inside, you'll read about how you can play one company's woes for substantial profit. The upside to this play is significant – with profits possible in just the next few months... |
Stocks go up in bull markets. And everyone thinks it's easy to get rich. But when stocks go down in a bear market, far too many people don't realize that there are plenty of opportunities there to get rich too.
When you're running a hamburger joint, that strategy might work. But not when you're selling $2,500 flat screen TVs or $3,000 computers. The results were predictable. Sales sank like a wet diaper in a kiddie pool. Then, in March 2007, Circuit City did it again, dumping another 3,400 senior reps. 
Dan has some amazing tools he'll use to make his recommendations. Tools you otherwise might not gain access too unless you're sinking $25,000... $50,000... even $1 million into the handful of successful hedge funds who are also doing this and making fortunes.
