Almost no one in the mainstream media is talking about it....
Most investors haven't even heard about it...
But our friend and colleague Porter Stansberry is on to something big, and we thought you should know about it.
In as little as 15 days, one of America's biggest corporations is likely to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy; and in this exclusive report from Stansberry & Associates (S&A) Investment Research, you will find out the name and complete details of the corporation that's about to go bust.

Just outside of Philadelphia... in the suburbs of Bucks County, Pennsylvania... lies the township of Bensalem.
There's nothing remarkable about Bensalem, except this small town is home to the Neshaminy Mall – one of the first malls ever constructed in the U.S., back in 1968.
With 120 shops, 3 big department stores, a huge AMC theater, and dozens of eateries, this mall – like more than 1,500 malls across America – employs thousands of local people...
People like Bob Meeks, the owner of a small portrait studio located in the mall. Bob is representative of every small business owner in America operating under corporate ownership.
But what if on April 30th the Neshaminy Mall shut down – overnight?
Imagine if every single store in the mall went dark. Small business owners like Bob... as well as hundreds of ordinary hard-working Americans employed as sales clerks, hair dressers, security guards, waiters, and ushers would be crushed.
Yet, none of these folks has a clue how close they are to living this nightmare scenario right now.
You see, the looming bankruptcy I'm talking about involves one of the biggest organizations in America – the owner of more than 200 malls in 44 states.
About 12 months ago, while combing through Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) documents, I discovered a suspicious discrepancy in the books of this powerful organization.
Since then, I have spent my spare time... roughly 20 hours per week on average, including weekends... digging deeper into what I now believe will be one of the biggest bankruptcies in U.S. history, involving hundreds of malls and the lives of more than 110,000 people.
Why should you care about this situation?
Put simply, in the past, ordinary Americans have received big payouts for successfully identifying corporate failures. Thanks to a 1938 government ruling, if you make one simple phone call to put out a "warning" in the market about such situations, you could receive large payouts from SEC-regulated funds.

For example...
** Gordon Bishop, a 51-year-old father of 3 from Milwaukee, made a single phone call to "alert" the market about the Enron fraud in 2000-2001. According to public estimates, he received a payout of more than $95,000 for his efforts.
He later commented to The Wall Street Journal that his payout came "in outsized amounts..."
** When 49-year-old Dallas native Dave Triplehorn discovered "accounting intrigue" at Tyco International a few years ago, he made a 5-minute phone call to put out a "warning" in the market. Public records show that he got a payout of more than $80,500.
** Dana Liu, a resident of Ithaca, NY, heard about non-transparent accounting practices at Lehman Brothers last year. She picked up the phone to send a "warning" to the market. By September, she collected an estimated $57,000 payout.

The point is, if you "alert" investors about this potential bankruptcy, you could collect thousands of dollars in extra cash this year.
Don't worry, you won't have to call hundreds of people... sign petitions... or join any class-action law suits.
All you have to do is make one 5-minute phone call within the next few days (I'll tell you exactly whom to call and what to say)... and you could receive cash payouts of up to $50,000 this year.
Let me give you the full details...

Let me give you the full details...
The powerful mall owner I'm talking about is a company called General Growth Properties.
You may not have heard of this gigantic organization, but you've almost certainly gone shopping in one of their malls across 44 states.
A few months ago, I began scrutinizing the balance sheets, income and cash flow statements, 10-Ks, 10-Qs, 13-Fs, and Form 4 documents filed by this mall owner. Within minutes, I noticed something odd...
In July 2008, a group of bankers transferred $1.5 BILLION in funds to General Growth:
** Then, just two months later, on September 19th... the CFO of General Growth wire transferred $22 million in company funds into his personal bank account.
On September 23rd... he wire transferred another $21 million. On September 25th... an additional $6.7 million.
On September 23rd... he wire transferred another $21 million. On September 25th... an additional $6.7 million.
Why did these transactions seem suspicious to me?
Well, here's the problem: The company as a whole earned just $26 million in 2008. But within the span of one week, this insider transferred about $50 million into his personal bank account. The numbers simply didn't add up.
And he wasn't the only insider with suspicious transactions...

And he wasn't the only insider with suspicious transactions...
** On August 5th... the President of General Growth wire transferred $18.9 million in cash into his personal account. On September 25th... he transferred an additional $3.2 million.
** On September 17th... another officer in the company transferred $10.2 million in company funds into his personal account. On September 23rd... he transferred $4.3 million.
** On September 17th... another officer in the company transferred $10.2 million in company funds into his personal account. On September 23rd... he transferred $4.3 million.
Something wasn't right: Bankers lent the company $1.5 billion in funds... millions of dollars ended up in the personal accounts of insiders... and less than 2% of that money showed up in the company's bottom line.
The incredible thing is, no one on Wall Street seemed to care. Government regulators didn't notice. And worst of all, thousands of ordinary Americans who depend on jobs provided by the company's malls had no idea what was going on.
But I wasn't the only one who suspected something was wrong.

But I wasn't the only one who suspected something was wrong.
Mike Sheldon, an asset manager and economic analyst based in Washington, noticed this glaring discrepancy as well. He commented on his well-respected financial forum:
"In 2002 Bernie Ebbers turned $1 billion in WorldCom stock into bankruptcy via margin, greed, and fraud... [The transactions at General Growth] triggered a memory of WorldCom."
An Associated Press financial journalist "cautioned" that this situation is "likely to become the next economic crisis"; ABC News quoted an industry insider saying, "We've just never seen anything as bad as this."
And Ashley Heher, a retail industry expert, publicly wrote that the events at this powerful mall owner could start "a domino effect that could ultimately cause some of the nation's favorite hangouts to go dark."
You see, the suspicious events at General Growth boil down to one simple thing: A crushing mountain of debt.
Company insiders – the perpetrators of this looming bankruptcy – were simply borrowing billions of dollars from banks every year... and wire transferring millions into their own accounts.
For example, in 2007, they borrowed $2.5 BILLION. In 2006, they borrowed $2.85 BILLION.
The company had no hope of EVER repaying this debt... considering that their profits for an entire year barely covered even 2% of the interest on this debt.
Think about that... It's like borrowing $2 million to buy a house, even if you only earn $40,000 in income after taxes! It's completely unsustainable... a recipe for total disaster...
But the bankers continued lending General Growth and its executives money, because... guess what... they got huge fees simply for making big loans.
For example, a recent Bloomberg article on commercial property developers revealed that "many of the loans... earned the bank millions of dollars in fees." Bankers could earn as much as "$7.74 million in fees from [one] loan alone..."
And at the end of the day, General Growth's clever accountants used ingenious techniques to make all their debt look like real assets.
Bottom line: I'm not sure of too many things in the financial world right now, but I'm VERY sure that this company is about to go bankrupt.
The sad part is, the perpetrators of this bankruptcy are most likely going to walk away from it with millions in the bank. Meanwhile, shareholders and hardworking folks at hundreds of malls around the country would be ruined.

Worst of all, it's all going to happen a lot sooner than people think. The entire debt scheme will begin to unravel in a big way on or about April 30th.
Why this date?
Quite simply, the banks are collapsing. And they want their money back. General Growth has a $200 million loan due on April 30th... and it has no hope of meeting this payment deadline.
I suspect that's the breaking point. But the truth is, General Growth could go belly up at any moment. The company couldn't repay a $395 million loan that was due on March 16, and it has $4 billion due in total this year.
In fact, state courts have already seized 4 of General Growth's malls: two in Texas, one in Louisiana, and one in California.
I expect General Growth to declare bankruptcy on or around April 30th. But even if it survives that deadline, it can't avoid the hangman's gallows forever...
"We do not have sufficient liquidity to pay these debts as they become due," the company admitted in fine print... buried in its 166-page SEC filing.

Here's what this means for you: If you make one simple phone call within the next few days... you could be eligible to receive payouts of up to $50,000 this year.
Let me show you how this is possible...
Gov't-monitored "Investor Alert System" could pay you $50,000
Nobody is talking about this mall crisis right now. The mainstream press is too caught up in the Obama "stimulus plan"... real estate troubles... and the collapsing financial system.
But when thousands of Americans across the country begin losing their jobs OVERNIGHT – I can just about guarantee this story will be front-page news on every major paper in America.
In fact, it's precisely for situations like these that the U.S. government set up what I refer to as an "Investor Alert System" back in 1938, just 4 years after the SEC was formed.
Simply put, they created a mechanism through which ordinary American citizens could be rewarded for keeping tabs on private corporations.
Here's how it works:
The "Investor Alert System" ensures that you can study the books of any publicly-listed corporation. If you find any discrepancies, all you have to do is make one simple phone call.
The phone call enters you into a special trade (it has nothing to do with options or any other complicated investment strategy) that sends a signal to the market indicating something is wrong with the corporation.
Then, as soon as other investors recognize the discrepancies or outright fraud in a corporation's books...you receive a large payout from SEC-regulated funds as a reward for your efforts.
In this way, the markets are constantly patrolled by private citizens like you and me.
As The New York Times said, these private vigilantes "play an important role in the market, acting as contrarian voices amid all the Wall Street puffery, and serving as early warning signals for investors."
Over the years, thousands of ordinary Americans have made generous profits by identifying corporate failures and entering into this special trade to "warn" others about it. For example...
** Drug fraud: $66,000 payout
Manny Rodriguez, a Cuban refugee who grew up in Brooklyn, made a sizeable profit for "alerting" the market about a Philadelphia-based pharmaceutical company that was allegedly developing a fraudulent drug. According to publicly available data, his payout was more than $66,000.
** Fannie Mae: $53,500 payout
Annabelle Ross, a 66-year-old retiree from Demopolis, Alabama, collected an estimated $53,500 last year for entering a special trade to "warn" the market about the bankruptcy of government-backed mortgage giant Fannie Mae.
** Subprime lenders: $29,000 payout
In 2007, dozens of folks including Brian Bash from Fort Mill, SC, got large payouts for putting out a "warning" in the market about subprime lenders like NovaStar Financial and New Century Financial. Public records show that they each received $29,000 or more for their efforts.

So, how exactly can you enter into this special trade to "alert" people about the looming bankruptcy of General Growth Properties – the powerful mall owner I've been telling you about?
Well, before I answer that, there is one thing you need to know...
Entering into this special trade can be extremely profitable. But I knew early on in my investigation that I could get in big trouble for predicting the bankruptcy of a large corporation – if I turned out to be wrong. I needed solid evidence to prove my case.
And that's exactly what I set out to find.
One of the first things I did to make sure I was on the right track was arrange a meeting with one of my most powerful contacts in the world...

One of the first things I did to make sure I was on the right track was arrange a meeting with one of my most powerful contacts in the world...
What I learned at a high-security meeting in New York City
This man is a former partner of legendary investor George Soros... and happens to be one of the savviest and wealthiest men in the world.
I set up an appointment with him at the Intercontinental on Lexington Avenue in New York City. At the hotel, security was tight. All the doors were sealed, covered by police and tall, silent men wearing long coats and sunglasses.
After about 20 minutes, my friend appeared. Despite his immense wealth, he is as humble and friendly as your favorite grandfather. He never mentioned the security. We caught up on the usual stuff – kids, families, investments.
Then, he pulled out a notebook with detailed charts and numbers – with a full analysis of almost every large mall owner in the country.
I was shocked. My friend, who is 10 TIMES more experienced than I am, had found a way to collect large payouts... not just from General Growth... but almost every large mall owner in America.
You see, there are about half a dozen large organizations that own almost all the malls in America... and all of them are running the same unsustainable debt scheme.
As my friend explained, General Growth is simply one of the largest and most heavily indebted mall owners. But when it collapses – as early as April 30th – the rest will likely fall apart like a house of cards... as investors realize that none of the other big mall owners can repay their debts either:

** California-based mall owner: These guys own around 100 regional and community shopping centers. But they owe more than $6 BILLION to bankers, and can barely cover even half the interest payments on this debt. Yet, insiders have been paying themselves millions of dollars every year.
** Indiana-based mall owner: They own 320 malls and shopping centers across 41 states, but owe more than $18 BILLION to bankers. These guys can also barely cover half the interest on their debt every year. But incredibly, one insider wire transferred $25 million into his bank account last September – during the worst week in recent stock market history.
** Michigan-based mall owner: These guys own shopping centers in 11 states. They owe $3 BILLION to bankers. But get this... they can't pay any interest on it – because they made a $80 million loss last year.
** Ohio-based mall owner: This company owns 460 shopping centers. They owe $6 BILLION to bankers... and also have no hope of every repaying it, considering they made a $100 million loss last year. But once again, insiders recently wire transferred more than $25 million into their personal accounts within the span of one week.

The point is, it's apparent to me that these mall owners will begin to collapse as soon as General Growth Properties declares bankruptcy.
Signaling investors about General Growth could make you a few thousand dollars as early as April 30th. But you could collect a lot more money if you send out an "alert" about every one of these 5 mall owners...
A $5,000 stake in each of these 5 trades could make you $25,000 in profits. Start with $10,000 in each, and you could collect payouts of up to $50,000 this year.
But just to be certain of our analysis, my powerful friend agreed to travel with me to Hong Kong in order to meet one of the world's foremost commercial property experts. (A few weeks later, we met with this expert at the Four Seasons in central Hong Kong... to corroborate our numbers and make our case even stronger.)
Like I said, predicting corporate bankruptcies is serious business. I had to be dead certain I was right.And now, after finishing my 12-month investigation, I've never been more certain of anything in my life.
So, here's how you can take advantage of this situation... and safely collect up to $50,000 in payouts this year.

"I bagged a quick $20,000..."
My name, by the way, is Porter Stansberry.
For the past decade, I've been running an independent financial research firm called Stansberry & Associates Investment Research. We work out of a restored 18th-century railroad baron's mansion in the historic Mt. Vernon district of Baltimore, Maryland.
I started this business in 1999 with a small savings stake and the help of 3 good friends. Today, we're one of the biggest financial publishing firms in the country, with over 2 dozen analysts and researchers... and loyal readers in over 130 countries.
Our analysts are regularly profiled and quoted in media outlets like Barron's, MarketWatch, and FOX Business News. One of the reasons I believe we've done so well is that we've been consistently right about what's going on in the markets.
Take the recent global financial crisis, for example...
Back in February 2007, I warned my readers that the stock market could collapse soon... and I told them exactly how to prepare for it:

Take the recent global financial crisis, for example...
Back in February 2007, I warned my readers that the stock market could collapse soon... and I told them exactly how to prepare for it:
"I think we're close to an important top in equity prices... It's important to know that we might be entering a period of poor stock returns. For long-term investors, I think it makes sense to buy a little insurance. You can do this by buying a put option on a broad index of top stocks for 2011."
Since then, the markets have plummeted more than 50%. But some of our readers have made a killing buying put options (betting on the collapse of stocks).
Like a fellow named Chris Landing from Ft. Lauderdale who sent us this note:"Amazing. Bought the July 20 puts... Now looking at a 1,500%-2,000% return in four weeks. That's a killing! Porter, I owe ya!"
Like a fellow named Chris Landing from Ft. Lauderdale who sent us this note:"Amazing. Bought the July 20 puts... Now looking at a 1,500%-2,000% return in four weeks. That's a killing! Porter, I owe ya!"
Another reader, Mike Suazo, told us: "Did I make money last month? Yeah, I made a ton of money, and it was on a single trade. I listened to what you had to say, Porter... I was stopped out after four days for a 525% gain! I'm ecstatic."
One of the strategies we focus on in my monthly research service, Porter Stansberry's Investment Advisory, is taking advantage of the government-monitored "Investor Alert System."
Every month, we identify publicly-listed enterprises that are surefire failures... These companies have taken on so much debt, their profits aren't enough to cover even a small fraction of the interest payments every year.
Imagine someone who maxes out his Visa card... but doesn't earn enough to cover even 1% of the minimum payment every month...
That's the same situation these companies are in. Company insiders took on billions of dollars in debt knowing full well they'd never be able to pay it back. When times were good, their deceit didn't matter. Their businesses were growing. But as soon as the credit markets froze, these debt payments became a noose around their necks.
The shareholders of these heavily indebted companies will surely get wiped out...
But in the mean time, I've been advising my readers to enter into a special trade to send out an "alert" in the market... and collect large payouts from SEC-regulated funds.
We've had great success with this strategy so far...
** For example, in June 2008, I predicted: "Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two largest and most leveraged owners of U.S. mortgages are sure to go bankrupt in the next 12 months."
I knew their debt levels were unsustainable in the current market. Sure enough, 3 months later, both enterprises essentially went bankrupt and had to be bailed out by the government.
I encouraged my readers to take advantage of the "Investor Alert System"... A fellow named Steve Caufield from Indiana wrote in to say: "I bagged a quick $20,000... One helluva call."
** Another reader, Martin Tolker, collected a payout of $200,000. He followed my advice about a highly leveraged company called SL Green. It took him less than 5-minutes to call his broker and enter into the special trade.
** Last September, I also predicted that Gannett Co. – the publisher of USA Today and other papers – was going bankrupt for similar reasons. Several readers, like Hiroshi Takari, took my advice and more than DOUBLED their money. "Great call on Gannett," Takari later wrote.
My newest investigative report involves General Growth Properties and 4 of the biggest mall owners in the country. These mall owners are almost certainly about to collapse – starting as early as April 30th.
But there's a simple and easy way you can help "warn" investors about this major bankruptcy... and collect a large reward for your efforts.
All you have to do is make one simple phone call to your broker.
But I must caution you: If you're not comfortable bringing negligent companies and corporate executives to justice, then this opportunity is not for you.
In other words, the "Investor Alert System" is not for passive people who simply like to buy and hold securities.
If you're interested in collecting payouts of up to $50,000 this year, I'd like to give you immediate access to my in-depth research report on this situation: America's Next Big Bankruptcy.
This will be the first thing I send you when you give my monthly research letter, Porter Stansberry Investment Advisory, a no-obligation look.
Is my research and investment philosophy the right fit for your needs?
Well, to be honest, I don't know. The only way you'll know for sure is if you give it a try. And the best I can do is to let you see my research at absolutely no risk or expense to you.
To help you decide, there's one more resource I'd like to give you, my compliments...
That's the same situation these companies are in. Company insiders took on billions of dollars in debt knowing full well they'd never be able to pay it back. When times were good, their deceit didn't matter. Their businesses were growing. But as soon as the credit markets froze, these debt payments became a noose around their necks.
The shareholders of these heavily indebted companies will surely get wiped out...
But in the mean time, I've been advising my readers to enter into a special trade to send out an "alert" in the market... and collect large payouts from SEC-regulated funds.
We've had great success with this strategy so far...
** For example, in June 2008, I predicted: "Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two largest and most leveraged owners of U.S. mortgages are sure to go bankrupt in the next 12 months."
I knew their debt levels were unsustainable in the current market. Sure enough, 3 months later, both enterprises essentially went bankrupt and had to be bailed out by the government.
I encouraged my readers to take advantage of the "Investor Alert System"... A fellow named Steve Caufield from Indiana wrote in to say: "I bagged a quick $20,000... One helluva call."
** Another reader, Martin Tolker, collected a payout of $200,000. He followed my advice about a highly leveraged company called SL Green. It took him less than 5-minutes to call his broker and enter into the special trade.
** Last September, I also predicted that Gannett Co. – the publisher of USA Today and other papers – was going bankrupt for similar reasons. Several readers, like Hiroshi Takari, took my advice and more than DOUBLED their money. "Great call on Gannett," Takari later wrote.
My newest investigative report involves General Growth Properties and 4 of the biggest mall owners in the country. These mall owners are almost certainly about to collapse – starting as early as April 30th.
But there's a simple and easy way you can help "warn" investors about this major bankruptcy... and collect a large reward for your efforts.
All you have to do is make one simple phone call to your broker.
But I must caution you: If you're not comfortable bringing negligent companies and corporate executives to justice, then this opportunity is not for you.
In other words, the "Investor Alert System" is not for passive people who simply like to buy and hold securities.
If you're interested in collecting payouts of up to $50,000 this year, I'd like to give you immediate access to my in-depth research report on this situation: America's Next Big Bankruptcy.

Collect $500 gov't-backed dividend checks every 3 months
I'm sure you've heard that big corporations have been slashing their dividend payments lately because of the economy.
For example, Wells Fargo recently cut its dividend... as did BMW, GE, NY Times, and Pfizer.
But there's one unique enterprise that has actually DOUBLED its dividend payments in 2008.
It's one of the safest, most profitable businesses in the world... And there's a simple reason for this: The assets this enterprise owns are 100% guaranteed by the U.S. government, thanks to an act of Congress and Public Law 110-289.
In other words, this organization is subject to very little stock market of 2011 risk.
They have continued paying dividends – without fail – every 3 months since 1998. Recently, as the rest of the market is trying to downsize and cut costs, they've started paying out more money to shareholders than ever before. And as the economic recession continues, they will likely continue to pay out more and more money.
Currently, for every 500 shares you own, you're set to receive a $250 check every 3 months. With 1,000 shares, you're likely to get a steady $500 check in the mail – every March, June, September, and December.
Even The Wall Street Journal noted in wonder: "The dividends [they] pay out... have risen in recent months."
Ben Holmes, publisher of the research site Morningnotes.com, is astonished: "They're raising staggering amounts of cash."
The best part is, this organization is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. It's as easy to buy as any regular security.
But keep in mind, nothing about their business model is ordinary. They don't have any products; they don't offer any services. They simply own assets that are backed by the U.S. government. (And I'm not talking about U.S. treasury bills either.)
Let me put this opportunity in the strongest possible language: If you don't own shares in this organization, you're missing out on the easiest and safest moneymaking opportunity in the world.
If you're interested in taking a 12-month trial subscription to Porter Stansberry's Investment Advisory, I'd like to give you complimentary access to my special report detailing this incredible opportunity. It's called: Government-Backed Dividends.
You'll get this special report in addition to America's Next Big Bankruptcy, which reveals a way to collect $50,000 payouts this year as America's biggest mall owners collapse.

Why Barron's profiled us in a front-page story
Unlike typical Wall Street firms, we don't publish our research to attract big banking business... or cash in on advertising deals with the companies we recommend.
The only way we stay in business is by offering you our best investment ideas – which could safely make you a lot of money.
In fact, one of these ideas recently got us profiled on the front page of Barron's.
My work on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was considered so spot on that financial reporter Alan Abelson wrote about Stansberry & Associates in his popular "Up and Down Wall Street" column a few months ago. He called my analysis "remarkably prescient... Nothing, as far we can see, has happened to contradict his dire prophecy."
Typically, every month, I focus on 3 types of moneymaking opportunities in my Investment Advisory:
1) Special trades involving major corporate failures (like the impending collapse of the mall owners I've been telling you about)...
2) 'No Risk' plays that can make you safe, steady profits (like the government-backed dividend opportunity I mentioned)...
3) 'Next Boom' plays that have the potential to skyrocket 100%... 200%... 500% or more in a short period of time, regardless of what's happening in the rest of the markets.
For example, in 2003 and 2004, I recommended a small company called Elan, which had developed what promised to be two of the best-selling prescription drugs of the next decade. Some of my readers saw gains as high as 800% after I wrote about it.
I was also one of the first analysts to recognize the potential of new fiber optic technologies. I recommended JDS Uniphase, the leading manufacturer of high bandwidth technologies... and my readers had the chance to see gains upwards of 592% in less than two years.
Of course, anyone can cherry pick a few winners. What matters is how consistently you've been able to make outsized gains.
As I write this (March 2009), there are 18 recommendations in my model portfolio.
The largest gain is 142%. The average gain on all 18 plays is 25%. That's pretty incredible when you think about it. I don't know of another analyst who's AVERAGING 25% gains in the market we're in right now.
But what I'm most proud of is how this research has helped our readers. Here are just a handful out of hundreds of letters we've received recently...

'Thanks from a great-grandfather'
"I was really 'down' with the market and feeling a bit blue since I am supporting two grand kids through college. Then you burst out with [this opportunity]... it went through the roof in one day... I believe the kids education is now secure. Thanks from a grandfather and a great-grandfather."

'My portfolio has tripled'
"I have traded stocks for 27 years. I opened my first brokerage account when I was 18. I am very thrilled with what you have done for my net worth. My portfolio has roughly tripled after going with Porter's picks. Thank you."

The point is, I believe the research my colleagues and I produce is better than 99% of the investment advice out there. But I understand that it's not for everyone. That's why I'd like you to decide for yourself if it's right for you.
Take a 12-month trial subscription to my Investment Advisory today... Keep the two FREE special reports I mentioned... Browse through my entire archive of research. You'll have the next six (6) months to decide if my work is right for you.
If you decide it's not for you for any reason within the first 6 months, contact my office. I'll make sure you get a full refund, for every penny you've paid.
So, how much does one full year of my research cost?
Well, private portfolio managers and hedge funds often charge upwards of $10,000 a year for their services. On top of that, these guys insist on taking a 20% cut out of any profits you make. (No wonder many of them are going bust now...)
My Investment Advisory doesn't cost nearly as much... And the truth is, we've probably outperformed 90% of these 'professional' money managers.
But before I get into the details, there's one more thing I'd like to give you if you decide to join our group...

A chance to see 10-fold gains, thanks to 'cap and trade'
Everyone knows certain sectors of the market will make huge gains, thanks to the Obama administration's new economic agenda... regardless of whether you agree with it or not.
The most touted sectors are infrastructure and renewable energy. But almost no one is talking about one sector – and one stock in particular – that Obama's plans will likely send skyrocketing.
You see, as part of his plans to curb 'global warming,' the President and his advisors have decided to institute a 'cap and trade system' that will essentially impose a huge tax on coal. Now, coal as you know is what America uses to produce cheap electricity. A logical consequence of this tax is that electricity prices will increase.
While this situation is bad for coal producers, there's one company that's poised to generate windfall profits thanks to an increase in electricity prices. (Hint: It has nothing to do with wind, solar, or any other bogus energy.)
In fact, already... despite a weakening economy... this company's revenues grew 25% in 2008. And over the coming years, it's one of the few resource top stocks to buy that's set to soar.
There are no sure things in this market right now... but this has to be one of the best, safest opportunities I've ever seen in my career.
This stock could easily show you 10-fold gains... the first such opportunity I've seen since I recommended JDS Uniphase, a high-tech stock that offered my readers as much as 1,000% gains.
I've detailed this situation in a new special report called: How 'Cap and Trade' Could Make You 10-Times Your Money. And I'd like you to have it, at no additional cost.
Just let me know you're interested, and I'll give you immediate access (within the next 15 minutes) to this report... as well as all the other reports I've mentioned.

'Best stock investment in 2011'

'I have netted $134,000'

As I mentioned, one full year of my research costs just $99. That's about $8 a month.
It would cost you more than that to get just one hour with a financial planner. And I believe the gains you could see from just one of the ideas I've mentioned in this letter could easily pay for your subscription – many times over.
But don't take my word for it. I encourage you to give my Investment Advisory a risk-free try and judge the results for yourself.
