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 wrestler 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. |

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 wrestler 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 bought this stock for my Government-Driven
Investing portfolio on July 3rd. I consider it a
strong buy today. 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.
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. |

Locked-In Health-Care
Gains... Compliments of the Stimulus Package
Obama's Agenda will Bring Huge Profits to these Three Companies
"Comprehensive health care reform can no longer wait."
For anyone
wondering where the current administration stands on health-care -- and
how they can profit from it -- those eight words from the White House
web site are all you need to know.
U.S. health-care spending was $2.2 trillion
in 2007, the latest number available from the federal government. Most
of that spending came from Uncle Sam, 46%.
|
 |
So, even though the
$787 billion stimulus package was huge, the federal government spends
1.6 times that every year on health care alone. It's as big as
business gets: Four of the top 25 U.S. companies by revenue are health
care-related. The average annual per-capita expenditure on health
care is $7,421.
Mr. Obama knows that Americans don't want bureaucrats making their
medical decisions for them. He's going to ensure freedom of choice, and
he's also going to make sure that the federal government doesn't get in
the way of the development of new and better treatments for illness and
disease. The president's options relate to what he wants to cover, how much he
wants to pay for it and to whom he is going to write the checks.
I've identified three standout health-care companies that will benefit
from Obama's actions. You'll find their names in this report.

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.

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.

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."

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.
