How We Discovered This Emerging Market Stock
Before it Gained +128%

And How You Could Get In On the Next Potential
Money-Doubler... For Just $1

Fellow Investor,

Why do some stocks take off, raking in astronomical gains, while others just sit there?

The answer is that they have a "catalyst" -- that is, something that creates a dramatic impact on a company's fortunes... and triggers a rush into its stock.

A catalyst might be a news event, like a takeover announcement. It might be a company-specific trend, like the introduction of a new product line. Or, the catalyst might be an industry shift or economic trend like the development of a new technology or changing demographic data.

Investors who are able to recognize catalysts at the right time can see spectacular returns, while other not-so-savvy investors sit by enviously on the sidelines.

My name is Nathan Slaughter. I am editor of StreetAuthority Market Advisor, and spotting catalysts is my specialty.

This finely-honed skill has allowed me -- along with my readers who invest alongside me -- to rake in returns like +128%, as was the case with the emerging market stock I'll tell you about below.

What's more, I'll tell you how, for only $1, you can get in on opportunities just like this one.

But first, let me tell you about my +128% catalyst winner:

The company I'm talking about is AmBev (NYSE:ABV). Short for Companhia de Bebidas Das Americas, AmBev is Brazil's largest beverage distributor -- a company that I recommended to my readers back in early 2009.

AmBev sells soft drinks, sport drinks, iced tea, and bottled water. But where AmBev's bread and butter really comes from is its beer divisions. It is the fifth largest brewery in the world and the largest in Latin America.

In 2009, my research team and I also spotted the signs that AmBev was set to take off.... we spotted the catalysts.

Catalyst #1: AmBev had strong internal operations -- a nearly 30% operating margin and a low debt-to-equity ratio.

Catalyst #2:  AmBev had a strong foothold in Brazil's beer market -- a market that was growing at a much faster rate than the U.S., fueled by a growing middle class.

Catalyst #3: In a recession, consumer staples usually hold up well. That is especially true for beverage manufacturers, and particularly alcoholic beverage distributors.


Take a Look At the Results
 

Company	Date Added	Recent Price	Total Return	Catalyst Rating	Target Price
AmBev (ABV)	01/26/09	$100.00	+153.6%		$105

Since I recommended this stock in 2009, my readers who have invested in AmBev alongside me have seen their money more than double  -- all because these savvy investors recognized the catalysts.

What I pointed out to my readers at the time is that people continue to drink during a recession -- perhaps even more so. And, with its global operations and market dominance, AmBev provided a wide moat to fend off competition.

This was important during lean times because a company like AmBev was able to focus on generating cash for shareholders instead of battling for market share against hungry competitors.

At the time, Brazil was encountering a slowdown along with everyone else, but AmBev provided a safe, but defensive way to play that emerging market. Investors were able to pick up shares trading for roughly half of what they were at the height of Brazil's bull market and be in position for a rebound, all while picking up a 7.5% yield (a case of "best of both worlds" for income investors.)

Now, this is  the best part of the AmBev story as far as you are concerned... I'm still recommending it. I have assigned a price target for AmBev of $105 -- that means upside potential of another $13.18 per share from the recent price of $91.82.

But the opportunity is by no means limited to AmBev...

Finding the NEXT Catalyst Winner

Right now, My StreetAuthority Market Advisor readers have access to four portfolios that are packed with potential winners that are raking in the same kind of returns as AmBev...

Now, at this point, you may be asking yourself how we do it.

The idea is simple -- if an investment isn't poised to benefit from a major positive catalyst (or a combination of several catalysts) in the coming months and years, then you should look elsewhere.

But if a stock IS benefiting from one or more important catalysts, then these catalysts should propel the shares sharply higher, leading to big gains for early investors.

Because this catalyst model forms the basis for all of our recommendations, we provide complete details on this important concept within all of our Market Advisor issues.

And to help you gauge the strength of a particular catalyst, we also include our proprietary StreetAuthority Catalyst Rating system...
