Seven "Yield Doubler" Stocks That Are
CLOBBERING The Dow...and delivering up to +144.2%
gains in as little as 4 months!
Fellow Investor,
Just 12 trading days before the market hit its 6,500-point low this
year, the "Yield Doublers" portfolio was born.
It was February 20th, 2009 to be exact. Just three
short months ago. A time when most investors were scared stiff of the
market sell off.
Since then, however, the Dow has rebounded +12%. And
our seven "Yield Doublers" have clobbered that figure by a factor
of up to 9-to-1.
I've written a few times about this unique portfolio. It continues to amaze me...
so here's another performance update -- with the hope that you'll see
for yourself that it's time YOU started investing in these "Yield
Doublers".
Just to be clear though, the purpose of this note isn't
to show you
how much money WE'RE making with these "Yield Doublers"... it's to show
you how much money YOU could be making with them.
There's no reason why you can't pull in these same kinds of double-digit and
triple-digit gains. I'll tell you how in a minute. But
first, let me show you exactly what you've been missing...

To be fair to our paid subscribers, I can't reveal
the name of these seven picks in this letter. If these were closed
positions, then I'd be happy to. But as you'll see in a second, these
picks have PLENTY of upside left in them before reaching our
estimated fair values. For example...
 |
The beverage company that
gained +31% could appreciate another +88% before
reaching fair value |
 |
The telecom operator that's up
+144% could pop another +161% before reaching fair
value |
 |
The retail REIT that's up
+64% has another +96% before fair value |
 |
The oil & gas refiner that's
up +46% could
appreciate another +61% |
As you can see you haven't quite missed the boat on these
"yield-doublers" -- you still have time to get in before these stocks
reach our fair value estimates. You just need to make sure that you act
fast so you can capture the biggest amount of profits.
Here's What You Should Do Right
Now
I'd recommend
taking Half-Priced Stocks for a test drive as soon as you
possibly can. You'll get immediate

Market Drop Creates Biggest
Stock Bargains in 22 Years
|
More than 200
money-making companies are trading at the largest discounts to their
fair business value since 1987. I'm finding markdowns of 50%,
60%... and even 78% off!
|
|
These are good
companies -- not junk. And the yields are phenomenal. Safe stocks
that normally yield 6% are now paying 12% to 18%.
|
|
If you hurry,
you can lock in these double-digit payouts for years to come. Wait
too long and you'll miss out... because stocks offering yields like
this run up quickly.
|
|
I've already
seen dozens of these cheap stocks double and triple in the past two
months. Which ones are next? See below. |
Dear Investor,
I haven't seen anything like this since the Crash of
'87.
Stocks aren't just cheap, they're throw-away cheap.
My name is Nathan Slaughter. I run the show at
Half-Priced Stocks, an advisory service for value investors. In my
29 years as an investor I've never seen better values.
Believe it or not, I'm finding profitable companies
with dominant market shares trading at just two and three times earnings.
Unless the market never bounces back, we're looking at a rare opportunity to
make big money.
My Only Regret
My only regret about 1987 is
that I didn't buy more stocks in the weeks following Black Monday.
Because when stocks hit the pavement that hard, the
bounceback is usually even more extreme.
That's what happened in 1987. After crashing on October
19, stocks were up +10% by the end of the year. And they soared +69% by the
end of 1989. A few of the really down-trodden stocks I bought for my own
account soared more than +300%.
So... rather than whine about this bear market, why not
take advantage of it with me?
An Unprecedented Triple Play

At the turn of the century, you had
to pay over five times book value for the S&P. Now you can buy
it for less than two times book -- 66% less than before. Your
dollars go further in this market than they have in over a
decade. |
You can always find a few
stocks selling for low P/Es...
or high growth rates... or even at mouthwatering yields. But I've never seen
all three at the same time before!
Assets, growth and yields are all going cheap.
Rock-Bottom Book Values
Of the 5,851 stocks I track,
2,310 are trading below book value... and 1,052 are trading at less than
half book value.
The crazy thing is that a lot of these dirt cheap
stocks are growing fast! I've found 146 stocks selling for earnings
multiples below 10 that are projected to grow more than +25% next year.
Do you have any idea
of the explosive gains you can make when a company is growing +25% a
year but its stock is trading at a P/E of 4?
|

Here's the liquor distributor with
a P/E of 4 and growing 25% per year. It is trading at its lowest
price to book value since 2000. The last time it was this low,
it embarked on a seven-year climb. |
I've found a liquor distributor in exactly this
situation right now. Once this stock regains its normal P/E of 22.6 that it
averaged for the past 10 years, you'll have $5.70 for every $1 you invest
now.
There are plenty more. I'm
looking at an offshore driller that is expected to grow +19% over the next
five years, but has a forward P/E of only 5.7.
Another company, a sock and underwear maker, is on
track to grow +15% annually over the next five years. It trades at a forward
P/E of 4.3.

The last time P/E ratio were this
low, stocks promptly took off on a multi-year tear. |
Historically Low P/Es
Over
the last 20 years, the S&P 500 has had an average P/E of 23.3. Now 222 of
the 500 have P/Es below 10. And 478 of the 500 are trading below their 20-year average.
Same story with the Dow Jones Industrials. 17 of the
Dow 30 have a P/E ratio below 10. The P/E of the entire Dow is 10.7. The
last time it was this low was in 1997. You can see what happened next in
this chart. Stocks took off like a rocket.
Yields Through the Roof
Thanks to this sell-off,
yields have shot through the roof. In fact, for the first time since 1958,
the S&P 500 yields more than the 10-year Treasury note. (The last time this
happened, the market returned +43.4% in a year.)
The yield of U.S. stocks has risen +90% in the past
year and a half. 636 stocks yield more than 10%... 514 yield more than
15%... and 453 yield more than 20%.
I'm buying the best ones ASAP because double-digit
yields never last long.
I saw that myself recently when I told my subscribers
to pull the trigger on Western Asset Premier Bond Fund (NYSE: WEA). This
closed-end fund was trading at a -17% discount to its net asset value and was
yielding 16.9%. I planned on holding it for years and enjoying that
dependable monthly income. But within seven weeks, it had appreciated +53%
so I decided to pocket my gains.
We've had plenty of opportunities like that lately.
Energy Income & Growth Fund (NYSE: FEN) is a solid security that has been
around for about five years. It traded in a tight range for most of that
period, and its yield fluctuated between 5% and 6.5% during that time.
Suddenly last year the yield spiked to 15%. But you
only had a few days at the end of November to grab it.
If you waited, you lost. Then the fund's yield dropped
to 11% just a week later. Now it's yielding under 10%. Not bad, but a lot
less than what you would have locked in if you had acted quickly.
It's too late to earn a 15% dividend on FEN.
But you can still lock in a huge dividend in plenty of
other stocks. One shipping stock I've been following has been yielding
roughly 8% year after year. Now, thanks to this weak market, it is yielding
22.1%.
But like every other solid company whose yield suddenly
spikes, it won't stay that high for long.
Volume is already surging as investors pour back into
the stock in an effort to lock in that generous payout.
My prediction: I give it another month at most before the yield drops
in half to 11%... and current stock owners double their money.
 |
But you can buy today and lock in 22% for years ahead.
Your yield will actually increase as the firm keeps boosting its
dividend payments. (This isn't wishful thinking: this company boosted its
dividend every quarter in 2008.) Stay on the sidelines watching and you will
miss out.
I hate to sound like a high-pressure salesman saying
you need to act immediately. But this market destruction has gift-wrapped
some rare profit opportunities... and they absolutely will not last.
The profits we've been making in closed-end funds are a
perfect example.
Last October, I sent investors a bulletin urging them
to buy five closed-end funds trading at heavy discounts to their net asset
values. Two trading days later they were up an average of +30.4% each.
On October 10th the Kayne Anderson Energy Total Return
Fund (NYSE: KYE) traded at a discount of -35%. Three days later, KYE had
risen nearly +60% while that discount actually turned into a premium
of +5.5%.
After last fall's brutal sell-off, The Chile Fund's
underlying stock portfolio lost
-37.4% its value. Yet investors were even more punishing,
sending the shares down -63.4%. So while the fund's stock portfolio was
worth $11.60 per share, its actual price tag was just $7.96 -- a discount of
31%.
In other words, you could pick up the
already-undervalued stocks in this portfolio for about 70 cents on the
dollar. A week after I added it to my "buy list" The Chile Fund was up
+27%.
The Magic Yield Doubler
For a very typical
example of how this downturn has boosted payout power, just look at the
Claymore/Zacks Yield Hog (NYSE: CVY).
At the market peak, CVY was yielding 6%. Pulled lower
by this slump, it is now yielding 12.2%. In other words, the market has
actually done new investors the favor of doubling their yield over the past
14 months.
I've examined this exchange-traded fund's portfolio of royalty trusts,
limited partnerships, utilities and other high-yielding securities. They're
still solid. That's why I'll be surprised if this high yield lasts for long.
Yields on several dozen master limited partnerships (MLPs) and closed-end funds
spiked last November for just a day or two. Investors who bought back then
are now earning 25% or more on their money.
Aberdeen Australia Equity Fund saw its yield spike up
in August 2007. Investors who bought to capture the yield of 19% saw their
shares jump from $12.50 to $17.50 in less than two months.

Anyone who bought IAF when its
yield spiked north of 10% saw their shares rise from $13 to $18 in less than
two months. |
There are plenty of other examples. But looking at history, you'd better act
soon if you want to lock in the yields I'm finding in Half-Priced Stocks.
Act now and down the road you'll likely be making an enormous return on your
money.
Throughout the late 1990's and early 2000's, Philip
Morris continually boosted its dividend. But because of stock price
fluctuations, the yield jumped from 3% to about 10%. If you were smart
enough to lock that yield in, you'd now be earning 48% in annual dividends
on your initial investment.
In the Philip Morris case, like most others, the window of opportunity
closed quickly. Two years later the stock was back to its old highs and the
yield had fallen back to about 4%.
Three Ways to Profit Big
|
1) |
Astonishing
Value Plays -- These are stocks you can buy for
less than the cash they have in the bank. Or the value of the
buildings they own. This is how Eddie Lampert made a billion dollars
buying Sears -- the real estate was worth more than the company's
market cap. You could have gone along for the ride yourself. After
he bought in, the stock surged from $15 to nearly $200 in just two
years.
|
| |
Example: There's a railcar maker in
my "Deep Discount Portfolio" that sells for less than half book
value. And these are real assets, machinery, tools, factories, etc.
-- not goodwill or some other intangible accounting fiction.
|
| 2) |
Cheap Growth Plays -- Buying
cheap stocks is about more than finding underpriced assets. Growth
counts too. And right now I'm finding fast-growing small fry that are priced
like mature, slow-growth behemoths. In other words, way too cheap.
We're getting years of future growth for basically free.
|
| |
Example: It's not often that you
find a company that's growing faster than its P/E. But you'll find
11 of them in my "High-Growth
Value Portfolio". Just running down the list, there's an
Internet company with a projected growth rate of 10.5% for the next
five years and a P/E of just 7.8... a travel company with a 14.8%
growth rate and a P/E of just 7.7... and a construction equipment
maker growing 14.0% a year and selling at a P/E of just 4.0!
|
| 3) |
Fat Dividend Plays -- This is
the silver lining to the market plunge: dividend yields are at
historic highs. You don't always get this gift when stocks
drop. When the tech bubble popped yields rose a bit. But it was
nothing compared to what we are seeing today.
There are scads of double-digit yielders out there. Deadly dull oil
pipelines that should yield 5% to 7% in normal times now sport
exciting yields of 12%. If you can lock in a 12% payout in something
as safe as an oil pipeline, do it. When the market returns to normal
and your pipeline is repriced to yield 6%, you've doubled your
money. And then, as it increases its payout over the year after
year, you'll soon be earning 15%, 18%... even 20% or more on your initial
investment.
|
| |
Example: In my
"Yield Doubler Portfolio" you'll find a real estate fund that yields 12.0% ... an oil pipeline
partnership that yields 9.6%... and a dry bulk shipper that is now
paying a princely 32.8% a year. |
It's
Time to Be Greedy
I know this is
a scary market. But the fear factor is why you're being handed these
opportunities in the first place.
So many investors are scared of holding stocks during
these hard times, that they're unloading them cheap.
According to Warren Buffett, that's exactly the best
time to buy stocks. Buffett credits his success to being fearful when others
are greedy… and greedy when others are fearful.
Buffett has a keen sense of when there is value in the
market. And he's backing up his bullish talk with heavy buying using
Berkshire Hathaway's enormous cash stockpile.
Because it pays off so well, I spend a lot of time
looking at what Buffett is buying. And I've found a stock that looks
startlingly like a young Berkshire Hathaway.
What if You Could Turn Back the Clock and
Invest With Warren Buffett 40 Years Ago?
Legendary value investor
Warren Buffett's saga is truly
astonishing. Anyone with the good judgment to invest $10,000 in Buffett's
partnership at its inception in 1956 (and to transfer into Buffett's
Berkshire Hathaway at the partnership's termination) would today be sitting
on an astonishing $344 million -- after all fees and expenses.
Scores of early believers in Warren Buffett have seen
their trust pay off in immense riches. In Omaha alone there are at least 30
families with over $100 million in Berkshire stock.
In 1957, Dr. Carol Angle, a young Omaha pediatrician,
gave $30,000 to Buffett to invest. Dr. Angle still practices medicine, but
she doesn't need the money. Her family's holdings in Buffett's Berkshire
Hathaway have grown into a $300 million fortune.
When Mildred and Donald Othmer died a few years back,
they left an estate almost entirely in Berkshire Hathaway stock worth close
to $800 million.
Ernest Williams read an article by Buffett and, in
1978, began buying as many shares as he could get. Today, he and his family
own more than 4,000 shares, worth some $360 million.
When Robert Sullivan was a 19-year-old college student
in the early 1970s he began buying Berkshire at $380 a share. I don't know
how many shares he bought. But with each share now worth $88,000, he didn't
have to buy many to be a very rich man today.
Do Miracles Happen Twice?
Of course, the Berkshire miracle can't possibly come along more than once in
a lifetime.
Or can it?
I've found one stock that looks strikingly similar to
Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway in the mid-'60s. I'm calling this stock "Son of
Berkshire".
In 1965, you could have bought 100 shares of Berkshire
Hathaway for $1,800. Today, those hundred shares would be worth $8.8 million
-- enough to put you and your children on easy street for life.
This could be your own chance at a Buffett-style
investment miracle.
Many people don't realize that when Buffett first
bought Berkshire Hathaway in 1962, it was just a textile mill -- a bit
player in a dying industry. By 1970 the mill was almost dead and netting
just $45,000 per year.
But in those eight years Buffett had transformed
Berkshire Hathaway into a completely different type of business that was
netting $4.7 million a year... over 100 times as much as the mill.
What was this other business that launched the greatest
stock market miracle of our time?
Insurance. A boring "white-bread" company. GEICO, to be
exact.
Buffett funneled the cash flow from insurance premiums
into a war chest of investment capital. Then he used that cash to snap up
shares of companies with prospects that other investors overlooked.
He bought The Washington Post, Coca-Cola, American
Express and Gillette. With perfect contrarian instincts, Buffett swooped in
when the stocks were deeply out of favor.
That's the strategy that built Berkshire into the $135
billion behemoth it is today. And this "Son of Berkshire" that I'm going to
tell you about now is doing it all over again, using the same techniques
Buffett pioneered decades ago.
A Growing War Chest of Cash
This company doesn't waste time
cozying up to Wall Street. It runs its operations from a drab building in
the suburbs of a sleepy Southern city -- about as far from the Wall Street
hype machine as you can get.
All it cares about is piling up cold cash and putting
it into other investments with even more hidden assets it can use to grow
the bottom line.
In other words, it just keeps making its shareholders
money -- doggedly snowballing its assets the same way Buffett did with
Berkshire.

Just like Buffett this company is amassing a growing
pile of cash: $913 million at last count. It uses this war chest when the
time is right to snap up other companies on the cheap. Like right now. Its
shopping list has grown a mile long in this down market when so many assets
are going cheap.
This firm has a great track record. In fact, thanks in
part to its smaller size, it is actually beating Buffett at his own game.
Below you can see that in the first
20 years of its
existence, this upstart has actually outperformed Berkshire Hathaway.
And I firmly believe it's just getting started. To show
you what I mean, I'd like to send you a report with all the details on this
Berkshire-style growth machine.
I call it Son of Berkshire: The Closest Thing to
Investing With Warren Buffett 40 Years Ago -- and you'll get a free copy

send to new subscribers. To claim your free copies of all six, just

Over
the first 20 years of its existence, this Berkshire Hathaway look-alike
has actually beaten Warren Buffett at his own game. |
Why I'll Always Be a Value Investor
I am a value investor because it works. No other approach has proven to be
more effective over the long haul.
Dozens of
studies prove me right. Value beat growth
in every instance.
If there's a better way to grow rich in the market, I
haven't found it yet. It seems crazy, but there are times when you can buy
every single share of a company -- paying its full market capitalization --
and you're still paying far less than the company's fair business value.
I know what you're wondering: How do I know what a
stock's "fair business value" is?
It all starts with the same time-tested technique
that Warren Buffett inherited from Benjamin Graham before him: "Discounted
Cash Flow Modeling."
To determine a fair price for a company, my staff and I
first project the amount of operating cash that the firm is likely to
produce in the years ahead. From there, we determine how much that future
cash is worth in today's dollars. This gives us a pretty accurate idea of
each firm's true, risk-adjusted value.
We then add in cash and other liquid assets and
subtract its debt to come up with a fair business value. That's the rational
price it would take to buy the entire company as a going concern.
All that's left is to compare that intrinsic value with
the current trading price. In extreme market conditions when panic rules the
day, share prices sometimes drop below the company's per-share cash on hand.
In cases like that, you're actually getting paid to buy the business!
Does Buying Discounted
Stocks Work in Real Life?
You bet it does. In June 2006, I noted that DryShips was trading at $10.79,
almost a 50% discount to its fair value of $21. I told my readers to buy
with both hands.
Sure enough, DryShips' share price rose to $21 within
eight months, hitting its fair value in March 2007.
But, like the Energizer Bunny, DryShips kept going and going -- all the
way up to $130.97 a share by October 2007 -- for a +1,113.8% gain.
Had you bought a thousand shares of DryShips when I first recommended,
your original $10,790 would have ballooned into $130,970 within 16 months.
With your $120,180 in profits, you could have indulged yourself in a
new Mercedes (or two!)... or paid for a college education.
|
Time and
again, buying fast-growing, high-yielding stocks that are
trading at deep discounts has paid off
for us at Half-Priced Stocks... |
|
|
|
 |
Our screens indicated eBay was undervalued,
with strong price appreciation potential. Readers who followed my
lead on this one made +60.4%. |
 |
When I saw a lot of opportunity in the
shipping business a few years back, I picked Genco Shipping as a good place to start. This
one made our subscribers a +293.2% profit. |
 |
Shipping continued to be the industry to
watch, and on Excel Maritime Carriers, we made a hefty
+554.4%
gain -- buying low at $10.35 and watching the stock rocket to $67.72. |
 |
Looking for a safe way to play China's
construction boom, I recommended Aluminum Corporation of China.
Readers who followed my advice were up
+379.1% in less than two
years. |
|
|
|
|
And again...
|
|
|
|
 |
I singled out alternative energy play First
Solar at $68.04. The firm's share price soared to $137.35 for a
+101.9% gain -- doubling our money in less than five months. |
 |
Fairfax Financial Holdings was selling at a
deep discount to fair value, and sure enough, gave us a gain of
+102.7% -- once again doubling our money. |
 |
We bought data storage giant EMC at $13.61
with a target appreciation price of $19. When the stock reached
$20.66, I said sell and locked in a
+52.9% profit. |
 |
On Activision, I spotted another
opportunity for solid appreciation, and traded the stock for a
+69.2% return. |
|
|
|
|
And again... |
|
|
|
 |
On Expedia, the Internet company, we made a
+71.5% profit as the market began to realize this online travel
leader's true value. |
 |
In February 2007, we bought UPS at $31.62.
By July of the next year, we sold out at $59.83. Adding in our
dividends of $2.68, we posted a total return of
+97.7%. |
 |
Another winner in the maritime sector,
Diana Shipping, gave us a triple as its share price rose
+205.1%. |
 |
Semiconductor manufacturer Cree Inc. made
us +77.9% in less than eight months... proving that you can even find
undervalued stocks in the often-overvalued technology sector. |
The Biggest Discounts I've Ever Seen
With the wholesale drop
in prices on Wall Street, I'm finding companies trading at the largest
discounts to their fair business value I've ever seen. Which means they're
offering huge upside to anyone with the guts to buy right now.
You'll find 15 of these beaten-down stocks in my "Deep
Discount Portfolio" right now. Here they are below. In fairness to my paying

The most expensive
stock in this portfolio is selling for 30% below its fair value. The
cheapest is trading for a whopping 78% less than where its free cash flows
should put it.
See what I mean when I say that the hysterical market
plunge has opened up a huge opportunity for deep-value investors? We're
looking at a rare opportunity to make big money.
Here's What

Right now, many of the country's strongest companies
are trading at depressed prices that in no way reflect their true value.
Blue-chip stocks like Johnson & Johnson may be struggling at the moment, but
do you really think Band-Aids and Tylenol won't be around in five or 10
years?
I'm finding profitable companies trading at three times
earnings. I feel like a kid in a candy store... and the candy's on sale!
A Monthly Rundown on the
Cheapest Stocks in the World
If you'd like
to consider adding some of the world's cheapest stocks to your portfolio, I
invite you to take a no-risk look at my premium value investing service -- Half-Priced Stocks.
If you love a bargain... if you'd like to buy
only the very best securities on Wall Street at a deep discount... I can't think of a service
you'll enjoy more than Half-Priced Stocks.
In a stock market littered with wounded companies,
Half-Priced Stocks is the only publication in the country devoted to
analyzing solid stocks that have taken a big fall... and telling you which
ones are likely to bounce back quickly.
One last thing you'll discover: hunting for deep-value
stocks is surprisingly safe.
When you buy stocks trading at shoe-size P/Es, you're pretty much at the
bottom already. Stocks don't fall out of the cellar.
So if you want to make your profits without reaching
for the Maalox... if you want the odds so heavily on your side it's almost
unfair... I invite you to sign up for Half-Priced Stocks today.

Here's Everything
You'll Get With Your Subscription...

Twelve months of
Half-Priced Stocks Newsletter -- Each monthly issue is

material steering you toward fast-growing, high-yielding stocks
trading at deep discounts. |

Half-Priced Stock of the
Month -- My in-depth profile of a growing business where
everything is going right... except for its stock price. When you
find a company that is firing on all cylinders, a sell-off in its
stock is almost always temporary. If you like the idea of buying
a stock trading at a 50% discount to its fair business value, you'll
love this. There's no better way to lock in a fat payoff than buying
one of these severely mispriced stocks. In a recent issue, I showed
my readers
how to buy a $23 restaurant stock for $11. When investors see the
true strength of this growth machine, they could step in and send the
shares +100% higher in a year. |

Access to three
model portfolios chock full of deep-value picks:
| 1) |
Our "Deep Discount Portfolio" tracks the performance of
the most undervalued stocks on the market today. Every stock in this
portfolio is selling for at least 25% below its fair business value.
Many trade at discounts of 30%, 50%... and a few at even
70% below
fair value. |
| 2) |
Our "High-Growth Value
Portfolio" gives you
fast-growing stocks that are trading at big discounts to
their earnings. Plenty of these stocks have earnings growth
higher than their P/E ratios! As a result, they represent
spectacular values at today's prices... and they should move
sharply higher. |
| 3) |
Our brand new "Yield Doubler
Portfolio" will dig up the most generous stocks,
ETFs, preferred stocks and other securities on the market
today. Right now we're honing in on a real estate fund that yields
12.0%... an oil pipeline partnership that yields 9.6%... and
a dry bulk shipper that is paying a princely 32.8% a year. |

Son of Berkshire: The Closest Thing to Investing With Warren
Buffett 40 Years Ago
The Berkshire miracle can't possibly come along more than
once in a lifetime. Or can it?
We've found a stock that looks strikingly similar to Buffett's
Berkshire Hathaway in the mid-'60s. Its CEO even sounds like
Buffett when he talks to shareholders.
Just as Buffett used insurance premiums to build a war chest of
investment capital to snap up companies on the cheap... building
Berkshire into a $135 billion behemoth... this "Son of Berkshire" is
doing it all over again, using the same techniques Buffett pioneered
decades ago. This could be your own chance at a Buffett-style
investment miracle. |

Cash Flow Is King: 3 Runaway Winners that Are Generating Mountains of Money
In this report, you'll see why it's so immensely important
to focus on cash flow. We
profile four cash-rich value plays that look like a lock to
outperform the market in the years ahead:
| 1) |
A huge utility, with
annual revenues closing in on $20 billion. It distributes
electricity to 5.4 million customers and natural gas to
nearly half a million more. It is also the largest provider
of wind energy in the eastern half of the country. |
| 2) |
A midstream energy
partnership that manages 35,000 miles of oil, gas and
petrochemical pipelines, and owns a vast network of import
terminals, storage facilities and processing plants.
Business is so good that the firm has boosted its
distribution 18 quarters in a row. Its latest hike lifts the
yield to a hefty 9.6%. |
| 3) |
The world's largest
payroll processor, issuing checks for 32 million workers
around the globe. Their cash flow from operations jumped
32% this year
over last. |

Small-Cap Value Stocks:
2 Small-Cap Stocks that Could Make You MUCH Richer than Your Friends
and Neighbors
Small-cap value stocks have climbed at a healthy +11.8% annual clip
over the past eight decades -- well ahead of the +8.9% annualized
return of large-cap value stocks... and far ahead of growth stocks
of any size.
The lesson: if you want to outperform the market over the long haul,
it helps a whole lot to have some small-cap value stocks. In this
report we profile two standout small-cap companies that are well on
their way to joining the blue-chips of tomorrow.
The first is the world's top supplier of fuel injectors and other
specialized parts for vehicles that run on propane and natural gas.
It has three times the market share of its closest rival.
The second has struck gold with its thin-film solar laminate that
converts sunlight into electricity. This thin, flexible and
lightweight material is a snap to install. The peel-and-stick
polymer is unbreakable and can generate +20% more electricity than
traditional photovoltaic (PV) cells. The company has all the
business it can handle and then some. Last year, sales were up
+154%... and its order pipeline stands at about seven years worth of
revenues. |

Investing Like Buffett: How to Profit from the Wisdom of the "Oracle
of Omaha"
Born, raised and residing in Nebraska for most of his life, Warren
Buffett is affectionately known as the "Oracle of Omaha." He is also
the most celebrated value investor in history. And there's good
reason for that fame. Warren Buffett is the richest man in the world
with a total net worth topping $58 billion. Even more importantly,
he is one of only a handful billionaires to attain his wealth in the
stock market. In this report you'll see the investing techniques
that Buffett has used to amass his $58 billion fortune. You'll also
find out how he decides what to buy... and how you can follow his
lead to create your own investment legacy. |

Deep Moats:
2 Untouchable Companies with No Competition in Sight
Just
as medieval moats helped protect castles against marauding
pillagers, economic moats help companies defend against encroaching
competitors.
Any such sustainable competitive advantage gives a company a
distinct edge over its rivals. A company with a deep moat in place
has a business model that is not easily copied. It is also better
insulated from fluctuations in the business cycle -- and
consistently delivers outsized profits. In this report, we detail
seven types of economic moats. And we profile two companies who are
entrenched market leaders and whose moats are so deep that it is
hard to imagine anyone being foolhardy enough to challenge them. |

3 Stocks Warren Buffett Wishes He Could Buy -- But Can't
We've found three stocks that are perfect for Buffett,
except for one thing -- he can't buy them!
He runs a portfolio that clocks in at some $135 billion. These three
companies have a combined market cap of less than one percent of
Buffett's portfolio. Even if he bought every single share... and the
stocks tripled... they would barely make a dent on his total
returns. But they could make a small fortune for you.
But if Buffett could buy smaller fast-growing companies we
think he'd find the three stocks in this report irresistible. These
are precisely the kind of bargains that Buffett loves. Unfortunately
for him, they are off limits because they're simply not big enough. But
you can grab as many shares as you want. |
