Why Gilead Sciences Gained
+521% Since We Recommended It

And why the ten stocks we'll tell you about below could be next.

Dear Investor,

Why do some stocks take off while others in the same industry just sit there?

Gilead Sciences is up +521% since we recommended it, but a competitor has gone nowhere.

The answer is simple: stocks skyrocket because they have a catalyst. If you remember your high school chemistry, catalysts are agents that speed reactions between substances. It works the same way in investing. A stock catalyst is something that creates a dramatic impact on a company's fortunes... and triggers a sudden rush into its stock. When the right catalyst hits a stock, the Wall Street sales machine kicks into gear and investors flock to it in droves, furiously driving up the price. Anyone who catches a ride on the way up is in for a rewarding treat. Catalysts come in all shapes and sizes, but the biggies are:

--> A major news event such as a takeover announcement, a favorable regulatory ruling or a big contract win.

--> A company-specific trend, like the introduction of new product lines or expansion into new markets.

--> An industry shift, including technological changes or an increasingly favorable competitive environment.

--> A macroeconomic trend such as strong economic growth in a particular country, changing demographics, etc.

No stock-market force is more important than a catalyst... because nothing generates bigger or quicker gains.

To help us pinpoint stocks with the most powerful catalysts behind them, my colleague Nathan Slaughter and I have developed a Catalyst Rating System. This helps us quantify the real strength behind a stock, rather than just going by a hunch that "things look good" for it. A stock can earn from one to five stars, depending on the number and strength of the catalysts we find for it.

The concept is simple -- if an investment isn't poised to benefit from a major positive catalyst or 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. 

Our five-star rating system makes it as simple as possible to judge a stock's catalysts and potential gains... if a stock has a five-star rating, you can expect triple-digit returns. With one star, you might as well put your money in your mattress, because it's not going to grow.

Does it work? I'd say so. The system has pinpointed five-star stocks that have gone on to gain more than +2,000%. These catalyst-driven picks have outperformed the market by a long shot. In fact, our annual "Top Ten Stocks" report (which contains our highest-rated catalyst stocks for the coming year) has more than doubled the performance of the S&P 500 since 2003.  Our catalyst-driven "Top Ten Stocks" have delivered +96.6% total returns for our readers while the market has delivered +41.3%. Because it works so well we've made our Catalyst Rating System the backbone of all of our investment decisions.

And RIGHT NOW is the perfect time to put the system to work for you...

"Top Ten Stocks For 2010" -- Just Released!

After hundreds of hours of research, due diligence and healthy intra-company debate, we've narrowed the vast investing universe down to just 10 stocks poised to deliver above-average returns not only throughout the 2010 calendar year, but also in the years that follow.

We hand-picked all 10 of these stocks using the same catalyst-driven principles that I've been telling you about.

Here are some of the winning individual stocks we've identified in this very same report over the past seven years...

When we released this report last year, our 2009 picks included 10 obscure companies diversified across multiple countries and industries...

We found a Mexican airport operator... a gold mining investment... a Brazilian utility... a Chinese power producer... an alternative energy fund... an international shipper... two oil & gas investments... an emerging markets play... and a foreign high-yielder. 

In each of these 10 stocks we had identified the same driving force I've been telling you about: catalysts.

The result?

Our 10 stocks from last year's report beat one of the strongest bull markets of the past decade.

While the S&P 500 returned +26.5%, our "Top Ten Stocks" cleared that hurdle, delivering +36.7% for subscribers.

This year we've uncovered ten BRAND NEW catalyst-driven investment ideas that we think could soar in 2010: A little-known company that profits every time an iPhone is sold... a stock poised to gain on the back of Washington's landmark healthcare legislation... a fund ready to rise if inflation heats up or the dollar keeps falling... an investment that's proven to be BETTER than gold...

These picks and SIX more make up our "Top Ten Stocks for 2010" report -- yours free, with a trial subscription to our Market Advisor newsletter.

Although past performance is no guarantee of future results, we're encouraged by our history of success and we're confident that you'll benefit from our newsletter and newest in-depth report -- "Top Ten Stocks for 2010" -- for just $1.
    

Sincerely,
