Dear Investor,

     I just got off the phone with one of the most inspiring businessmen I've ever met. He told me a fascinating story involving a student from Iowa, Russian scientists, WWII soldiers and something called "C-1 fungus."

     And it all leads to the real possibility of "biofactories" that can turn crops grown anywhere on the planet into all the energy we'll ever want -- eliminating the need for petroleum whatsoever.

     I honestly think this guy is going to change the world.

     If I'm right, he's going to make bucketloads of money for anyone who comes along for the ride. And that definitely includes me. You're invited too.

Powering the World With... Sugar?

What he's discovered isn't just ground-breaking biotechnology. It's nothing short of revolutionary -- and one single company has the edge.      It can shift our country away from petroleum and onto an efficient, secure and sustainable economic base. One based on sugar, of all things.      With sugar, this company can feed bacteria and yeast to make ethanol, plastics, polymers and all the other products made by petroleum -- with zero emissions and all of it renewable.       A barrel of sugar can replace a barrel of petroleum. The beautiful thing about sugar is that you can grow it in Texas... you can grow it in Canada... you can grow it anywhere. You don't have to import it from hostile foreign nations.      From a national defense and jobs-creation standpoint, growing "energy crops" or taking biomass and turning it into sugar is absolutely what our country needs.

Renewable "energy crops" like sugar can be grown anywhere in the world and can eliminate our dependence on petroleum.

     In fact, Washington is doing everything it can to steer us toward energy independence.... including the implementation of a federal timetable that mandates our use of biofuel.

A Stock Whose Immense Profits Are All
But Guaranteed By A Government Timetable

     The biofuel revolution is here. It's not a wish, it's not science fiction and it's not utopian dreaming. It's the law. The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 requires the country to use 36 billion gallons of biofuel by 2022.

     The rub is that only 15 billion gallons can be regular corn-based ethanol. 21 billion gallons -- or almost 60% -- must be "advanced biofuels" that are 50% cleaner than gasoline. Of that total, 16 billion gallons must be something called "cellulosic" biofuel.

The problem? We make almost no cellulosic biofuel now. Only a few companies even know how.      By next year, we'll probably be producing 100 million gallons -- a drop in the bucket.      That means we'll see cellulosic ethanol production jump from almost zero to 16 billion gallons by 2022.      That's a +15,900% increase in only a dozen years!      How do you think that's going to translate to corporate earnings?      Let me spell it out: The investors who get in on these companies are going to be putting cellulosic ethanol fuel into their Ferraris. Their chauffeurs will gas up their Rolls-Royces.

Future Fuel Production, in Billions of Gallons Year Renewable (Ethanol) 'Advanced' Biofuel Cellulosic Biofuel 2008 9.0     2009 10.5 0.6   2010 12.0 1.0 0.1 2011 12.6 1.4 .3 2012 13.5 2 0.5 2013 13.8 2.8 1.0 2014 14.1 3.8 1.8 2015 15.0 5.5 3.0 2016 15.0 7.3 4.3 2017 15.0 9.0 5.5 2018 15.0 11.0 7.0 2019 15.0 13.0 8.5 2020 15.0 15.0 10.5 2021 15.0 18.0 13.5 2022 15.0 21.0 16 Growth +66.7% +3,400% +15,900%

     Look at the table and you'll see that regular ethanol production is mandated to rise +50% -- and then flatline. A +50% gain isn't bad. You invest $10,000 and you walk away with $15,000. But a +15,900% gain is something else altogether: It turns $10,000 into $1.6 million.

     As I said, the biofuel revolution is here. The debate is over, the bill has been passed, and the president signed it into law. The only question is whether you'll put biofuel into your car or whether you'll deposit biofuel profits into your bank account. Buy a few shares of the company I discovered today and you can do both. Here's why...

How Stone Washed Jeans Started a
Chain of Events that Could Topple Exxon

     The University of Iowa student I mentioned? That's our CEO.

     After graduating from the famed program in 1977, he made a mint pioneering the stonewash jeans industry. He taught Levi's, Guess and Wrangler how to wash blue jeans to soften and fade the denim... and sold them the pumice stones to do the job.

But in the '80s, a Danish biotech outfit came up with an enzyme that did a better job than pumice in the stonewash process. The compound ate at cotton the way an acid might eat at metal.      Steamed at watching his business shrink, but realizing that this was the future, he looked for scientists who could help him make his own enzymes.      When the Berlin Wall fell he found a group at Moscow State University who had worked on cellulosic ethanol in the 1970s.      So he hired them to look for something better to soften jeans with. The Russians were happy to work for 5% of what he would pay a lab in the States.

WWII GIs discovered the "trichoderma" fungus -- an enzyme similar to that which stone washes blue jeans.

     By 1994, he had launched his first commercial cellulose product -- based on a fungus called trichoderma. Trichoderma was first found on GIs' tents in World War II. It was breaking down the cotton fabric and the soldiers were getting rained on. This fungus was a beast. It tore heavy-duty tents to shreds.

     For the next 66 years, U.S. government scientists tried to engineer this particular fungus to do more productive things... but never hit pay dirt.

A Lucky Break

     Our CEO got to thinking: If trichoderma breaks down plant fiber that well, then maybe it can break down cell walls, too. That's the critical first step to unleashing the sugar inside cellulose, which can then be fermented into ethanol.

As his team bred this fungus, a serendipitous mutation occurred that allowed it to be produced on a large scale at low cost. He calls his new organism "C-1 fungus"... and nobody has it but him.      C-1 has almost twice as many biofuel genes as trichoderma. That's better not only for making ethanol from sugar... but for industrial enzymes, cosmetics, biopharma, and nutraceuticals.      The company's gene jockeys have worked with scientific groups like Scripps Research Institute in Florida for 15 years to perfect the technology.      All those years of effort are starting to pay off. Last November, he licensed C-1 to Codexis, the biofuel partner of Shell. He got a $10 million upfront payment in April. Back-end payments start once Codexis sells products using this technology.      In May 2009, he licensed it again to Abengoa Bioenergy -- one of the world's largest alternative energy companies.       They're involved in solar and ethanol... and they're a leader in cellulosic ethanol, too. Every time they open a facility they have to pay a fee, plus royalties on products using his technology.

The "C-1" miracle fungus has twice as many biofuel genes as trichoderma. Its use is practically limitless. The company that owns this organism is going to change the world. Investors who own shares could make a killing.

Limitless Use

     The C-1 platform can be used for hundreds of applications beyond cellulosic ethanol. The markets are endless.

While the +15,900% government-mandated growth in cellulosic ethanol offers dramatic potential, C-1 is as useful as steel, as adaptable as silicone and as plentiful as hydrogen.      The fungus can produce enzymes for making bread rise in baking, or making a key part of a life-saving drug.      It can improve so many processes that someday you might go to the gas station and see "C-1 Inside" on the pump. You might go to the drug store and see "C-1 Inside" on the boxes of pills. Someday you might put on a pair of blue jeans and realize they've got "C-1 Inside." You might buy a loaf of bread or a bottle of beer and see "C-1 Inside." It goes on and on and on.      Thousands of companies would pay for the right to integrate C-1 into their manufacturing. And no one could copy it.

While the +15,900% government-mandated growth in cellulosic ethanol offers dramatic potential, "C-1" can be used for hundreds of additional applications.

     Even with unlimited cash, it could take another research team 10 years to catch up with C-1. And they still might fail. Remember, this company's breakthrough was a "serendipitous mutation" -- a happy win against long odds. That's one heck of a competitive advantage.

What You Should Do Now

     I urged my Government-Driven Investing readers to buy this stock on July 3rd -- and it's already shot up +157%.

     The company has already licensed its C-1 miracle fungus to two major alternative energy players and is looking for more. As federally-driven demand for cellulosic ethanol grows, this firm's revenue stream will turn into a river.  It's a great long-term play.

     This is just one example of how we're letting the government do the heavy lifting for us here at Government-Driven Investing.

     For my current overview of the entire government-based investing scene, check out my bulletin below. Out of the dozens of ways to profit from government action, I lay out my favorite three below.

     Why not take a peek now…
 

This Is The Future Of Investing

Companies Profiting From Government Action are Immune to Economic Cycles. It's Like Investing in a Bull Market That Never Ends.

     Hi, my name is Andy Obermueller. And starting today, investors like you have a new weapon: Government-Driven Investing.

     It's the first and only service in the country 100% devoted to digging up ways to profit from the never-ending stream of policies, regulations, and cash pouring out of Washington.
 

Of course you may not agree with every move Washington makes. I certainly don't. But that shouldn't stop you from using back-room information to sharpen your investments and see them skyrocket.  The government-driven stocks I'm uncovering can anchor your portfolio for years to come, throwing off the kind of profits that can change your life.      You see, every move Washington makes helps some business, somewhere. So I don't waste my time chasing the latest Wall Street fad. I stick to the one money-making strategy that has worked for decades.           Sure I'll take notice if corporate insiders are dumping or loading up on their own shares. I keep an eye on what Wall Street's few proven long-term winners are buying and selling... men like Warren Buffett who have made fortunes through every kind of market. But I never take my eyes off the biggest player of all... the only actor on the financial stage that can single-handedly grace our table with riches or yank them all away: the U.S. government.

Andy Obermueller, Chief Investment Strategist of Government-Driven Investing

     Our federal government is gargantuan. It's the most significant financial force on the planet. Like a whale in a pond, it sends shock waves through the economy with its every move. These waves create tsunamis of cash that inject billions of dollars into companies in the right place at the right time. Like the "C-1 miracle fungus" company I told you about earlier.

So Can The Government Really Make You Rich?

     Yes. We see it again and again. Whenever Washington decides to help a new industry get off the ground, the investment profits follow in lockstep. This holds true whether it's the Internet, nanotechnology, wind power, electric cars, or any other industry.
 

	Amgen's epic stock gains would never have happened if the government hadn't invested heavily in biotechnology in the 1980s.  It was a government scientist in fact, working in partnership with Amgen, who made the discovery that led to Amgen's first blockbuster drug. Anyone who wanted to make a play on Amgen's government connections in the 1980s could have bought in at $7.75 a share. A thousand-share $7,750 flyer would now be $3.6 million. That's what I call a life-changing stock.
	When the government began its massive effort to modernize its computer systems in the mid-1990s, Oracle and Dell were the main suppliers. These lucrative contracts kick-started epic growth at both companies, as they branched out to consumers and businesses worldwide. Investors who got on board Oracle back then brought home gains of +1,185% by the end of the decade. Dell saw their shares skyrocket +7,861% over the same time, turning $10,000 into a sweet $796,100.

     The government made millionaires of thousands of Dell, Oracle, and Amgen investors. And I'm convinced cellulosic biofuel is next.

Today's Top Government-Driven Investments

     Look, I'm passionate about this topic for one reason: It works.  I've personally invested using a number of strategies over the years. Like you, I've tried various combinations of value, income and growth strategies.

     However, I'm not sure I've ever seen anything with as much potential as the government-driven stocks I'm finding. Case-in-point, the "C-1 miracle fungus"  company I told you about earlier. Here are some more of my favorites...

The Next Way The Government Will Make Investors Rich      President Obama's vision calls for the United States to produce 15-20% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.      The U.S. currently produces only 1.25% of its power from wind, which is 100% green, producing no emissions and requiring no fuel inputs.          Leading wind-turbine manufacturers stand to rake in billions as the U.S. and other countries scramble to order thousands of wind turbines to add green power to their grids.      I've identified the two strongest players in this category -- you'll find both of their names in my Government-Driven Investing portfolio.

Get Your Share of the Billions Pouring into Healthcare      Health-care costs continue to spiral, and President Obama's plan includes using technology to make delivery more efficient.      Obama wants to spend $20 billion a year to implement the technology, which will cost a total of $75 billion to $100 billion.          Dumping billions into digitizing medical records is going to mean huge bottom-line increases for the best-in-class vendors I've identified.      All four of these companies are going to experience a huge boom in this business as hospitals, clinics and medical offices start to digitize their files. You'll find their names in my Government-Driven Investing portfolio.

The Breakthrough "Oxy-Coal" Stock To Buy Today      Everyone knows clean energy is a major part of the Obama agenda.  Well his initiatives are already playing out.      On June 28th, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the landmark "cap-and-trade" bill. This bill limits the amount of CO2 industry can emit.           Right now, 35% of America's carbon emissions come from coal-fired power plants. Coal is abundant and cheap in the U.S. -- we're sitting on enough of the stuff to power every home in America for the next 400 years. At the same time, these coal plants are simply too expensive to replace. It'd take $672 billion and several years.      The solution is to find a way to burn coal without producing CO2. A handful of companies have figured out how to do this. Their method, called oxy-coal, is recognized as being perhaps the most promising environmentally-friendly technology on the planet.      My favorite pick in this area owns more than 200 patents related to oxy-coal. You'll find its name in my Government-Driven Investing portfolio.

I've examined seven sectors on the receiving end of blistering government spending and regulation... and then picked a few stocks in each sector with the strongest potential to double over the next 12 months. The stocks in these reports should anchor every investor's portfolio:
	Jump-Start Your Portfolio with Government-Juiced Batteries The Green Future Means the Inevitability of the Electric Car, and This Stock is the Single Best Way to Profit *Most of the push into alternative energy doesn't deal with cars, even though they are among the biggest emitters of carbon dioxide. *The inevitable future of automobiles lies in electric or partly electric "hybrid" cars. *The most vital component of the electric car is not the motor, it's the battery. One company, the world's leading manufacturer of cell phone batteries, has the edge. You'll find its name in this report.
	Double-Digit Yields Guaranteed by Uncle Sam These two little-known mortgage buyers are now super-safe buys *Mortgages convey a sense of risk in light of the sub-prime debacle, but most are safe, and some are even federally guaranteed. *The Federal Reserve's moves to aide the economy have pushed rates to historic lows.  For credit-worthy customers, short-term borrowing is very inexpensive. *REITs that borrow for the short-term and lend for the long-term by purchasing mortgages are experiencing a wider spread between the cost of funds and interest collected, leading to big payouts for shareholders at virtually no risk.     You'll find the two strongest players in this field in this report.
	Government Mandate Spells +15,900% Growth Current U.S. law, which went into effect on January 1st, mandates a +15,900% increase in production for "cellulosic biofuel" by 2022. Currently, there is only one publicly traded company in this space. It's the industry leader, and its stock has the potential to grow in concert with cellulosic ethanol quotas. That means upside of +15,900% during the next dozen years. That could turn every $1,000 invested into $160,000 in only 12 years. You'll get all the details on this opportunity -- including the name and ticker of this stock -- in this report.
	Best Infrastructure Profit Plays for the $2.2 Trillion Repair Bill *The Unites States has received a near-failing grade on its infrastructure.  Every week, a new story emerges about a major infrastructure failure that must be fixed.  *Bridges, roads, railways, dams, locks, power lines, power plants, water mains -- they all need hundreds of billions of dollars in repairs -- and soon.  The recent stimulus plan has provisions to boost federal spending in this area. *The need is even greater in emerging markets, where the infrastructure is decidedly minimal.  Dozens of governments in these countries are ramping up spending to build infrastructure that will allow them to compete in a global economy -- and create jobs that will help shake off the worldwide recession.           Three companies are going to capture much of this business. You'll find their names in this report.
	Government Profit Plays You Won't Hear About on TV *The Unites States has 5% of the world's population and nearly 25% of its prisoners. *Housing, feeding and caring for these prisoners costs billions of dollars each year.  Much of this is outsourced to private companies. *This outsourcing trend is likely to continue as federal and state budgets are stretched thin, leaving little funding for prisons and even less for new facilities.      Two companies will profit. One is the leading U.S. prison operator. The other is the nation's only publicly traded inmate health care company. You'll get both their names in this report.
	Alternative Energy: Obama's Passion Meets Your Portfolio President Obama, a few days after being sworn in as president, delivered his first weekly radio address.  One of the first things the new 44th president mentioned was wind power.  At the cornerstone of his vision is the creation of a "green-collar" economy that attempts to accomplish two goals: The first is the creation of millions of jobs; the second is reducing the nation's dependence on oil in favor of other, renewable energy options.  "To accelerate the creation of a clean-energy economy," Mr. Obama said, "we will double our capacity to generate alternative sources of energy like wind, solar, and biofuels over the next three years." You'll find my three favorite wind plays in this report.
	Swine Flu Pandemic: Government Response Could Lead to Big Profits for These Two Drugmakers *Public health officials say an influenza pandemic could kill 71 million people, which the World Bank says would cost the global economy $3 trillion. *To fend off any potential catastrophe, the U.S. government and other governments and health agencies around the world will commit billions to stockpiling antiviral drugs and vaccines that can stop a flu outbreak. Government response to this pandemic could lead to big profits for two drugmakers. You'll find their names in this report.

Finally, No More Guessing

     Investing is tough enough in good times.  In this shell-shocked economy, you need an edge that puts the odds squarely on your side. The best way to do that today... indeed the only way... is to limit your investments to those that are virtually guaranteed to succeed -- thanks to the daunting power of the federal government.

     When you subscribe to Government-Driven Investing, you'll no longer have to guess which sector's going up and which is going down. Companies profiting from government spending and regulation are immune from those cycles. You'll be investing in a bull market that never ends.

     Your odds will certainly be a heck of a lot better than listening to the usual suspects. Take Wall Street analysts. As a group, their forecasting record is horrible. In 2007, analysts told us the Dow would hit 15,000. You know what happened next.

     In the middle of 2008, 12 of the 16 analysts following Citigroup had "buy" ratings on the stock -- when it was trading above $50. Now it's a penny stock.

     In a world where 7 out of 10 mutual fund managers lose to the unmanaged S&P 500... and where half the economists are wrong about which way interest rates are heading... why place your bets with these perennial losers? Especially when you can invest in companies that are immune to nearly all outside economic forces.

     Government-Driven Investing will change the way you look at investing forever.  And no other service besides Government-Driven Investing is out there to help you.

     Remember, every time the government spends a buck or passes a law, someone profits... and it should be you. If you don't grab this opportunity now, you might regret it for a long time.

     I urge you to give us a try.

Many happy returns --

P.S. We have one more gift for you: Stocks That Will Suffer at the Hands of Congress.

     Your faithful congressmen don't deliberately set out to destroy a stock's value. It just happens. Shifts in national policy produce winners and losers. Always have, always will.

Think about it: Does national legislation ever hurt a private company? Or an entire sector? Only a few hundred times a year! Just look at the online gaming stocks that crashed to zero two years ago after Congress decided to stop banks from processing payments for them. More than a billion dollars in market capitalization was wiped out in two days. Imagine the money short-sellers made on that!      We have our eyes on several big names in the government's cross-hairs right now. They are some of the most widely-held stocks in America. Millions of investors hold their shares and if you do too, you need to dump them now. This goes far beyond protecting yourself from a crashing stock. Getting your hands on this list gives you some spectacular short-sale opportunities. An innocent company can see its stock plunge -90% when the government decides it's time for a policy change. The few who see it coming and actively short the stock end up profiting hand over fist.
