Government's Biofuel Timetable Could Spell +15,900% Growth
+15,900% growth might seem far-fetched... but it's not. In fact, it is mandated by law. And I've identified the ONLY stock positioned to capture this growth.

The Silver Lining to a Falling Dollar
Despite the U.S. national debt, there is a silver lining for income investors. This massive spending, combined with movement out of U.S. Treasuries, is going to take its toll on the dollar, and international income investors could reap the rewards in the form of higher dividends.



Activision (ATVI) Returns +193% for Market Advisor Readers

Published: June 23, 2008

While virtually every investor has different opinions and philosophies when it comes to making money from stocks, we can all agree on at least one thing -- nobody likes a vicious bear market. Well, except for the short sellers.

However, if you're looking to "buy low and sell high," then a frenzied market sell off is just what you need to fulfill the first half of that mission. With that in mind, Market Advisor newsletter editor Paul Tracy went bottom-fishing for beaten-up stocks in his March 2006 issue. And it was that search that turned up Activision (Nasdaq: ATVI, $35.85), a bargain-priced video game software publisher.

At the time, sales were showing signs of a slowdown and investors had reacted by pushing the shares to a fresh six-month low. However, as Paul pointed out at the time, the sales slump was nothing more than a temporary lull in the video game industry -- leading console makers were gearing up to release next-generation systems in the coming months. And with popular franchises like Call of Duty and lucrative licensing arrangements with Marvel (NYSE: MVL) and Dream Works Animation (NYSE: DWA), Activision was well-positioned to cash in.

Today, the video game industry is in full-throttle expansion mode. Over the last thirty days alone, fans have taken home more than 675,000 Nintendo Wii systems, and retailers have rung up $1.1 billion in total video game sales. In fact, through the first five months of this year, industry revenues have already surpassed the total from all of 2007.

Meanwhile, since Paul referred to the pullback in Activision shares as a "golden buying opportunity," the stock has jumped from $12.23 to Friday's close of $35.85 -- an impressive gain of +193%.

In this month's newsletter, Paul pinpoints another stock that opportunistic investors might want to scoop up following a shortsighted pullback. The company is the eBay of industrial equipment, bringing buyers and sellers together in more than 170 countries. Thanks to surging demand for agricultural commodities and industrial metals, producers around the world are turning to the firm's auctions in search of tractors and other machines -- allowing it to profit from the commodities boom without being directly tied to volatile prices.

To read Paul's complete profile of this exciting company, which controls a dominant share of its fragmented $100 billion market, we invite you to try out our Market Advisor newsletter. Please visit this link to learn more.
