The Next Way Washington
Will Make You Rich:
Government-Juiced Batteries


Dear Investor,

     Detroit is learning that there's no free lunch in Washington.

     But if what I predict next comes to pass, you could dine off your profits for years.

     Let's step back a few months. In December, General Motors and Chrysler received $17.4 billion from Capitol Hill after claiming they'd go under without it.

     But Obama wants something in exchange. He has said for years that car companies should be building more fuel-efficient vehicles... so my bet is that he'll try to get battery-powered cars out of Detroit.

     Even if GM and Chrysler didn't go belly up (which could actually give him even more leverage), all he'd have to do is to tell the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) to re-institute the tougher fuel-mileage rules that were relaxed in the Bush era. If he does, carmakers could find themselves having to make cars that get 43 mpg by 2016.

     If this happens carmakers will scramble to get into the Plug-In Electric Vehicle business. Most already have a development program underway. GM is the closest to production with its Chevy Volt.

     This will be a huge spark for the battery industry. Right now, the most promising battery technology for delivering enough power for a 100-mile commute is Lithium-Ion.

     The handful of companies in the lithium battery business are destined to win big as electric vehicles take off just like the hybrids did. From zero barely a decade ago, the Prius earned Toyota gross profits of around $1 billion last year.

     My favorite right now is one of the largest makers of industrial batteries. From submarines to spaceships, it has a battery technology to fit the application.

     In 2008, the company launched a new line of batteries that store large amounts of renewable energy. Targeted towards the wind and solar markets, I think this product line will sell like hotcakes under Obama's new EPA initiatives.

Dear Investor,

     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.

     The government is by far the biggest player in our economy. 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.

     Out of the dozens of ways to profit from government action, we've narrowed the list down to the seven safest...

The Government Spends Money... and a Handful of Chosen Stocks Go Up. It's that Simple.

The beauty of investing in companies that profit from government spending is that they are immune to nearly all outside economic forces. Every time the government spends a buck, someone profits. Here's a just a few examples of profits we've made following the government's dollars:

+185% with Moody's
+32.0% with McDermott International
+41.7% with General Cable
+42.2% with Sasol
+33.7% with United Healthcare
+48.8% with Ormat Technologies
+90.9% with American Science & Engineering

When you invest this way, you'll no longer have to guess which sector's going up and which is going down -- it's a never-ending bull market.  In the letter below you'll discover the seven best ways YOU can profit from government action today.

 

 
Alternative Energy Spending & Legislation
Infrastructure Spending
Health Care Reform
Government-Guaranteed Mortgages
Plug-in Electric Vehicle Batteries
Government Response to Swine Flu
Private Prisons

     The idea is to target the best companies in each category, get the full upside potential from massive government spending and new regulation, and at the same time reduce your overall portfolio risk.

A Profit Opportunity 16 Times
Bigger Than Most People Realize

     The government is always a gargantuan force in the markets. Now it is THE force.

     You hear a lot of talk about "Obama's $787 billion stimulus package." Don't be fooled. The real number is 16 times higher.

     Between bailouts and buyouts... TARPs and TALFs... the government is coming up with so many new ways to spend our tax money that it's tough to keep track of them all.

     Add it all up, and the U.S. government has spent, lent or committed $12.8 trillion to reinvigorate our economy.
 

An Investment Opportunity
as Big as America Itself

       That number is so big that it's within spitting distance of our entire economic output last year. U.S. GDP came in at $14.2 trillion in 2008.

     We've never seen anything like this before, and I doubt we ever will again. At least not in our lifetime.

     If I could leave you with just one thought today, it would be to understand how unusually huge this government spending spree is. It stands alone. We haven't seen anything like it since World War II, when Uncle Sam shelled out $4 trillion to save the world from fascism.

     If the Feds are going to spend that much of your money and mine -- guaranteeing that we'll be paying more taxes for decades -- I want at least that much back in my personal stock market account.

     So I've got a team of researchers working full-time on figuring out where all of that government money will wind up.
 

The Government Made Millionaires of Thousands
of Dell, Oracle and Amgen backers -- Who's Next?

     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 area.

     Amgen's epic stock gains would never have happened
if the government hadn't invested   heavily in biotechnology in the 1980s.

Get Your Share of the Billions Pouring into Healthcare

On May 11th, representatives from key players in the health care industry "volunteered" to support Obama's health care reform by committing to cut $2 trillion in costs over the next 10 years.

From their point of view that makes sense.

Some of these firms, particularly health care providers, are worried that Obama's system overhaul will squash their profits. A government-created health plan, for example, could offer the lowest insurance premiums in the industry... and effectively drive down margins of the industry's for-profit players.

So instead of waiting for reform judgment day to come, the industry stepped up in a preventative measure to offer support to Obama's health care initiatives by promising to slow the pace at which they increase their rates (and thus cut $2 trillion in costs over the next 10 years.)

Like I said, from the industry's point of view, this makes sense.

What's surprising, however, is Washington's reaction. Instead of blowing the industry off, it's welcoming their support with open arms.

And that could only mean one thing: Obama needs the industry to make his plan work.

 If this is the case, instead of overhauling the health care system on its own, the government will almost surely need to use a managed health care company.

Obama wants everyone to be covered, and the inevitable future is a low-cost, no-frills plan that will offer a safety net to protect otherwise uninsured Americans from the costs of medical catastrophe.

This will require a company with national reach, medical-risk expertise, a vast network of doctors and other professionals and experience in exacting cost savings.

And that spells great news for one managed health care provider in particular...

You'll find all the details you need to profit in your free subscribers-only copy of Locked-In Healthcare Gains... Compliments of Stimulus.

 

     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.

     If you missed out on the government-fueled tech bonanza of the 1990s, don't feel too bad... an instant replay is straight ahead. In fact, the coming flood of government cash into the market makes earlier programs look like peanuts. Back the right company and you have as close to a guaranteed jackpot as you'll ever find on Wall Street.

     I've identified at least seven sectors that will be flooded with so much new government cash, shares almost have to climb. I wouldn't be surprised to see them double in a year. I'll share the highlights in a minute. But first let me tell you how to get a steady stream of government-fueled stock picks delivered to your email inbox -- so you don't have to hunt for them on your own.
 

It's Time To Make Some Cash From The News

     The news media has devoted millions of words and thousands of TV hours to the financial crisis and the government stimulus. But 99% of it is basic news and bickering about the size or direction of the rescue package.

     None of that whining helps you make money. If you want to profit from what is undoubtedly the biggest financial story of your lifetime, you need to ignore the partisan bickering and government bashing. You need a service that devotes 100% of its attention to finding the best ways for YOU to profit from everything that's going on.

     You could spend weeks looking for such a publication. We did -- and it doesn't exist.

     So... we decided to start one ourselves:  Government-Driven Investing. It's the first and only publication devoted exclusively to helping investors profit from government spending and policies.

Obama's Massive Infrastructure Spending Spree Will Create a New Class of Millionaires

Corroded water pipes, crumbling roads and bridges, obsolete dams and reservoirs, an outdated power transmission grid... America's got plenty of work to do.

Our country's aging infrastructure has been neglected for decades. The American Society of Civil Engineers has calculated the repair bill at $2.2 trillion over the next five years. And President Obama isn't shy about picking up the tab.

In a move harkening back to FDR's make-work programs of the 1930s, Obama is pouring billions into rebuilding the nation's highways, bridges and other ailing infrastructure.

His $787 billion stimulus plan sets aside tens of billions to fix corroded water pipes, crumbling bridges and obsolete dams. It also calls for new highways, bridges and schools.

Add it all up, and it's the largest public works construction program since Dwight Eisenhower's interstate highway system broke ground a half century ago.

This tsunami of cash will flood into a relatively small number of construction and commodity stocks. The trick is to determine which companies will secure these massive contracts.

It's a safe bet that much of that cash infusion will find its way into the coffers of one particular heavyweight in the engineering and construction field. This company creates everything from hydroelectric plants and airport terminals to bridges and schools. Roughly 40% of its contracts come from government entities, but don't be surprised if that percentage zooms higher soon.

It should see a windfall in the coming years thanks to its diverse operations and strong history of working with the government. You'll get full details in your free subscribers-only copy of Best Infrastructure Profit Plays for the $2.2 Trillion Repair Bill.

 

     If the trillions pouring out of Washington make you wonder "What's in it for me?" here's your answer.
 

When the Government Spends Money, You Make Money

     Our investment concept at Government-Driven Investing is simplicity itself: When the government spends money, investors make money.

     You simply have to identify the areas targeted for the highest government spending... find the companies in those sectors... single out the few most likely to profit... and buy their stocks.

     It's only fair to admit that we have one huge advantage over ordinary investors: the pool of companies with a realistic shot at getting fat government contracts is tiny. So instead of combing through four or five thousand companies, we can focus our energies on just four or five hundred -- and still capture the lion's share of Washington's cash.

     So are you ready to start hunting for profit plays backed by the immense spending power of the federal government? Good -- we're in a target-rich environment.


 

A Long Tradition of Letting the Government Make Us Money

     Government-Driven Investing is new, but we've been covering government-triggered profit opportunities at StreetAuthority for years.

     Every time the government spends a buck, someone profits... and plenty of times it's been us.

     Look below and you'll find a few of our favorite ways to ride the government's coattails to profits...
 

Meet the Man Who Runs Government-Driven Investing

Andy Obermueller is a senior investment strategist for StreetAuthority. His background is in financial journalism, and he has worked for some of the nation's largest newspapers. At the business desk of The Star-Ledger, his market acumen helped guide the financial news read by more than a million people each day. Later, his close contacts with West Texas business leaders helped him break the story on the plans for the first nuclear power plant to seek regulatory approval in the United States in a quarter-century.

After watching business from the outside for ten years, Andy got an inside look as a commercial lender with Wells Fargo's Business Banking Group, where he worked prior to joining StreetAuthority.

Andy is known for his versatility: He's as comfortable scouring thousands of pages of SEC filings as he is sitting down with CEOs for a one-on-one chat. At the core of Andy’s financial radar is a belief in fundamental research. He is a long-time devotee of value investors like Warren Buffett, Wilbur Ross and Eddie Lambert. Within the past six months alone, Andy has correctly predicted triple-digit returns from stocks like Whole Foods and Liz Claiborne. Now he’s turning that radar into the government space and is excited about the opportunities there.

Andy, who was born on a working farm in Lincoln, Kansas, holds a degree in journalism from the University of Kansas and confesses that he still reads print newspapers. He's fond of premium cigars, museums and spy movies. He has a daughter in kindergarten.

 

 

Way back in 2002, we recognized that Moody's benefits from stringent government regulation as to who can enter the ratings market. It is basically a government-induced oligopoly, which Moody's shares with Standard & Poor's. We added this stock to our portfolio on May 7, 2002 and five years later it had returned +185%.
In June 2004, we picked five defense stocks that would prosper under the increased defense spending of George Bush: Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, United Technologies, General Dynamics and Armor Holdings. A year later, they were up an average of +16.1%.
In January 2005 we found three stocks that were in line for huge contracts from the Homeland Security Department. They were up an average of +47.4% a year later. American Science and Engineering, which makes X-ray screening devices to combat drug trafficking and weapons smuggling shot up +90.9%.

     When the political winds shift in Washington, the new policies that result are always fertile grounds for profit-hungry investors.

In January 2007, we singled out a company that would benefit from increasingly strict government pollution controls: South-African based Sasol. A year later it was up +42.2%.
In October 2008 we looked forward to a post-election market and fingered United Healthcare as a likely winner. It is now up +33.7% in just these few months. All the more impressive in light of the market's loss of -3.8% over the same period.
In December 2008, just three weeks after Obama won the presidency, we came up with seven clean-energy and global infrastructure picks that we thought would do well under his regime. All seven are now up, averaging a gain of +14.9%.
Valmont Industries is uniquely positioned to capitalize on two powerful global trends: wind power and water shortages. With the Feds pouring billions into shoring up our capabilities in both areas, we recommended this stock on 01/22/09 and it's already up +12.7%.

     As the current crisis unraveled, we continued to rack up profit after profit cueing off the actions of the White House and Congress... 

     We recommended Fuel Tech just this past February. It provides pollution-control systems, and it could see a ton of new business thanks to new environmental policies of the Obama administration -- including a "cap and trade" system. It's already up +23.4%.

     And since the stimulus package was signed into law on February 17th 2009, all nine of the infrastructure picks we highlighted to benefit have moved higher. They've notched an average return of +16.7% each. McDermott International, a worldwide construction company, was up +32.0% and General Cable, which makes critical copper, aluminum and fiber optic cables shot up +41.7% in a matter of weeks. 

    Imagine what we can do with 100% of our effort focused on the government!


Thousands of Problems, One Solution: A Cash Injection

     The beauty of investing alongside Uncle Sam is that our opportunities are endless. There's never a bear market in government spending!

     Whenever Congress wants to solve a problem it throws money at it. And once the cash starts flowing, stopping it is like trying to put toothpaste back into the tube.

     And boy are they squeezing the tube hard now!

     Look at the ailing banking sector. The U.S. government has lent and guaranteed literally trillions of dollars to financial institutions to keep them from going bankrupt. Now the Treasury Department is buying toxic bank assets to clear up the balance sheets of the country's big lenders so they will start lending again.

     Among some 120 beaten-down firms that the government has so far "invested" in, five in particular have become virtual wards of state. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, American International Group (AIG), Bank of America, and Citigroup -- these companies are too big to fail.

     Over-extended mortgage giants Fannie and Freddie were effectively nationalized last September. That's when the government put them into conservatorship and agreed to inject $100 billion in each company. September also saw the government assume an 80% stake in failed insurance giant AIG, in return for an $85 billion capital injection.

     The U.S. government is now also the biggest shareholder in Bank of America. I'll bet you anything it will soon own most of GM, too. By this time next month it will also be Citigroup's biggest shareholder, under a plan to convert preferred stock into common shares. 

     After pouring billions into them you can be sure Uncle Sam won't pull the plug on the companies he is investing in so heavily.

     Now I'm not telling you to rush out and buy stock in Citigroup or Fannie Mae. Just because they won't fail doesn't mean there is a lot of upside from here.

     What I am telling you to do is to anticipate Uncle Sam's next move... and buy a few shares first -- before the news is all over CNBC. In other words, let him do the heavy lifting. Decide where his next big spending spree is going to be, and let his trillions move the market for you. That's exactly why we've started Government-Driven Investing. It's the only investing service dedicated to investing a step ahead of the government gravy train.
 

The One Money-Making Strategy That Has Worked For Decades

     Congress has never seen a problem they don't think they can spend their way out of. Small government activists celebrate if they can simply cut the rate of growth by a tenth of a percent.

     Spending under President Bush's two terms grew at the fastest rate since the LBJ administration. And no one seriously believes that the Democrats -- who now control both Congress and the White House -- will reverse the flow.

     There's always a bull market in government spending. And now it's simply gone into overdrive.

These Stocks Could Rise 10 to 1

Government-Driven Investing does more than simply follow the money trail. We also keep an ear to the ground on Capitol Hill, ferreting out the financial nitroglycerine that lurks in each new bill -- even before it becomes law.

One upcoming bill will light a fire under stocks in an industry that was given up for dead here a few years ago.

When Congress passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) in 2006, it was a death sentence for American online gambling companies. Some executives were arrested, others fled the country, and billions of dollars in market cap evaporated.

But Americans didn't stop playing online poker and roulette. Far from it. Millions continue to gamble online each day. In fact, online gaming is one of our few growth industries still left. The only difference is that the money now goes overseas.

And it's a lot of money. Americans spend more on gambling than on music, theme parks, video games, movie tickets and all spectator sports combined.

The latest figures show that the Feds could raise a stunning $52 billion over the next decade by taxing online gaming. With the federal budget deficit at an all-time high, those billions never looked so good to the spendthrifts on Capitol Hill. Of course, they're first going to have to make it legal.

That's why Rep. Barney Frank (the powerful Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee) is reintroducing a bill to overturn the UIGEA... and bring legal online betting back to the USA.

This is Frank's third attempt at overturning the law -- and he's never been a more powerful figure on Capitol Hill.

I doubt it's long before he succeeds and Congress decides it's better to regulate and tax Internet gambling than to watch billions in revenues slip through their fingers.

When that happens, a handful of stocks are going to shoot up as much as 10 to 1. It's only logical, considering that these same stocks lost 90% of their value when the UIGEA passed. In fact, they could go even higher, because the online gaming industry has doubled in the three years since it was effectively banned here in the States.

My favorite right now is PartyGaming PLC, which is publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange. I'll dig deeper into this story and give you with other stock plays likely to benefit as the legislation heads to a vote.

 

     Meanwhile, 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

     These stocks I'm telling you about today can anchor your portfolio for years to come, throwing off the kind of profits that can change your life.


 

This Is the Future of Investing

     This isn't our father's Wall Street any longer. It's not even the same Wall Street we knew a year ago.

     The hands-off era of laissez-faire capitalism is over. Government is playing a bigger role in every aspect of our financial lives. The bailout is just the start of Washington's increased involvement in the economy.

     The government is now the biggest shareholder in our nine largest banks. Our financial services sector is on its way to being transformed into a regulated utility. There is talk of buying out other weak industries, like the carmakers and the airlines.

     It really IS different this time. This is nothing like the S&L bailout in the 1980s. Back then, the government established the Resolution Trust Corporation to dispose of the assets of failed thrifts -- but only after the thrifts went bankrupt. Today, bureaucrats are cherry-picking which assets to buy, including equity stakes in commercial banks that aren't particularly happy about having Uncle Sam as a major shareholder.

     Paradoxically, this is actually good news for anyone with vision. Many investors have been burnt so badly that they'll be avoiding the markets for years. That leaves a wide-open playing field for you, me and anyone else who wants to grab their share of the government's largesse.

How the Greenest President Ever Can Put Some Green in Your Pocket

Barack Obama talked about pumping billions into green energy projects at every campaign rally. Now that he's President, clean-energy investors are finally seeing the green.

Obama is the greenest president ever. He just renewed his campaign pledge to support wind farms, solar panels and fuel-efficient cars.

He wants to double clean-energy generation over the next three years. His $787 billion stimulus plan includes $104 billion for alternative-energy technologies. The plan boosts all forms of renewable energy with tax breaks and incentives worth billions.

His allies on Capitol Hill recently passed a bill mandating that 15% of electricity from private utilities be generated from renewables by 2020.

The same thing is happening abroad. Governments around the world are providing subsidies, incentives and tax breaks for alternative energy. The European Union is mandating that 20% of energy come from solar, wind and other renewable sources by 2020, too.

Right now solar power accounts for just one tenth of one percent of all electricity generated in the U.S. Wind power accounts for just 1%. But this is about to change in a dramatic way.

Just watch what happens when $104 billion worth of research and development, infrastructure building, tax breaks and buyer incentives go to work. With this spending, we could see...
 
The biofuel industry triple from $25 billion to $80 billion...
The hydrogen fuel cell industry jump ten-fold to $20 billion...
Wind power climb 10 times to $80 billion or more...
Solar power soar 20-fold to upwards of $75 billion!

That's over a quarter trillion dollars in annual revenues without counting geothermal or hydroelectric power -- all right here in the U.S.

But there's no reason to stop at the U.S. border. The move to clean, renewable energy is a global mega-trend. And you'll find my #1 pick in this category in a free report, Alternative Energy: Obama's Passion Meets your Portfolio.

 

Finally, No More Guessing

     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 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.

     When you invest in government-driven companies, you don't have to worry about how sharp the CEO is... or if the company's next product will be the "next iPod". These companies have their sales orders on file with the government, in amounts that will set them -- and you -- up for years to come.

Up to seven profit-filled bonus reports just for subscribing

We examined seven sectors on the receiving end of blistering government spending... 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:
1. Alternative Energy: Obama's Passion Meets Your Portfolio

Obama loves it, we're using more of it, and the latest stimulus bill had a generous tax credit for it. Here are my favorite solar and wind-power plays, with an emphasis on explosive small-cap high-tech firms.
 
2. Best Infrastructure Profit Plays for the $2.2 Trillion Repair Bill

Our country's aging infrastructure has been neglected for decades. We're looking at a $2.2 trillion repair bill over the next five years. Obama is pouring billions into rebuilding the nation's highways, bridges and other ailing infrastructure. This tsunami of cash will flood into a relatively small number of construction and commodity stocks. I've singled out a handful of favorites to win the lion's share of these massive contracts.
 
3. Locked-In Healthcare Gains...Compliments of Stimulus

Of the $787 billion in Obama's stimulus package, more than $140 billion is going to bring America's health care up to speed. And of all the companies in line to benefit, one in particular stands out.
 
4. Double-Digit Yields Guaranteed by Uncle Sam

With the government standing behind mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, two little-known mortgage buyers yielding double-digits are now super-safe buys.
 
5. Government Profit Plays You Won't Hear About on TV

Government-backed opportunities are everywhere -- even behind bars. One in every 100 American adults is in prison. For-profit incarceration is now a $37 billion a year business, and unless mandatory minimums are repealed, that revenue stream will only grow fatter. Another out-of-the-mainstream profit play: payday lenders. These black sheep of the finance industry are now cheap because legislation is pending in Congress to limit what they can charge for small loans. I have my doubts it will pass. Powerful banks oppose the move because they don't want the spotlight to shine on their overdraft fees.
 
6. Jump-Start Your Portfolio with Government-Juiced Batteries

Obama has said for years that car companies should be building more fuel-efficient vehicles... so my bet is that he'll twist a few arms and get battery-powered cars out of Detroit. This will be a huge spark for the battery industry. The handful of companies in the lithium battery business are destined to win big as electric vehicles take off like the hybrids did a decade ago.
 
7. Swine Flu Pandemic: Government Response Could Lead to Big Profits for These Two Drug Makers

The rapid government response to this killer disease could open the door to billions in new revenues for two drug makers in particular.

Why It's Always a Good Time
for Government-Driven Investing

     Bailout or no bailout, good year or bad, our federal government is gargantuan. It's the most significant financial force on the planet. And each time a public dollar is spent, a private-sector profit is realized.

     Government is the 900-pound gorilla of the investment markets. It affects everything sooner or later.

     If you have to play a game that includes a gorilla, you'd better play nice. The trick is this: Get on the gorilla's side. Never fight anything that's roughly a zillion times bigger than you are.

     Until now, of course, you haven't had any good way to know what was on the gorilla's mind. Like everyone else, you sort of had to guess.

     Now, though, we have a new weapon for the investor: 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.

     Government-Driven Investing will change the way you look at investing forever. You'll never get another chance to jump on board a $12.8 trillion investment wave. And no other service besides Government-Driven Investing is out there to help 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 --

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.
