Taking Advantage of the Market's Mispricings with Top Penny Stocks

We love a good growth story. After all, that's why we invest in the tiniest companies on the market. It gives us the chance to get in on the ground floor — before the rest of the world tunes in to the potential that a particular company has to offer.

But believe it or not, some very credible insiders don't believe it's possible to beat the market.

If you've been investing for some time, you've probably come across Burton Malkiel's A Random Walk Down Wall Street. Malkiel is a proponent of efficient market theory. That is, he argues top stocks for 2010 are always "correctly" priced. The market uses all of the available information and news about any given company to price its stock. Therefore, any attempt to beat the market is misguided. According to efficient market theory, there's no way to beat the market. Your performance will always be average.

We couldn't disagree more…

That's why we follow penny stocks — with which we have opportunities to get in on mispriced stocks.

One reason a company's shares can fall short of its potential is a slower news cycle. Think of it this way: Companies like General Electric and Apple are covered by hundreds — if not thousands — of financial writers, reporters, analysts and bloggers. Within minutes, any rumor is disseminated to the masses. Quarterly reports are dissected and new opinions issued equally as fast.

However, an information gap is usually prevalent in the tiniest stocks. Without the constant media and analyst coverage, share prices are slow to react to positive news and other key events.

Take Bulletin Board Elite's position in one tiny gaming company for instance — we'll just call it XYZ for now. XYZ is a rapidly growing, consistently profitable company operating in the recession-resistant lottery industry. But without a flurry of analysts and commentators following this tiny stock, its share price was slow to react to its ever-changing situation.

When we issued an alert for our readers to buy shares of XYZ, the best stock was trading at a ridiculously cheap single-digit multiple, with new contracts pouring in from one of its $25 billion customers. As we said back in 2008: "[XYZ] has plenty of cash, no debt and strong organic growth." Its only crime is that the stock was so far under the radar that 99% of investors probably had never heard of the company.

It would be next to impossible to purchase shares this cheaply if XYZ traded on the NYSE. And XYZ's information gap won't last forever. Shares have been creeping up almost every day. Yesterday morning, the best stock hit a 52-week high. And we're up more than 114% right now…

As we mentioned a couple of weeks ago, after XYZ's earnings release, we're also waiting on new contract announcements. These are additional short-term catalysts that could really move the price of this best stock to buy.

So we'll continue to hold on as the information gap slowly narrows, and our gains rocket as a result. XYZ is far from the only company that's positioned to profit from the slow trickle of small-cap news…

And while many of those top stocks to buy are too small to mention here in the Penny Sleuth, it's essential to remember why penny stocks are the place to be in this economy — and why investing in top penny stocks gives prudent investors a huge advantage over the blue chips.

France's Moment in the Sun

"You ain't seen nothin' yet!"

Actually, we've seen so much already that it's hard to believe there's more coming. But there's sure to be more...and we have a feeling it will be worth the wait.

Yesterday, for example, GM filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. It couldn't pay its bills. GM was once the strongest corporation on the planet. But it has been around for nearly 100 years. Heck, everything wears out eventually...even a '55 Chevy.

"Obama Nationalizes GM," says a triumphant headline in France's La Tribune.

Triumphant?

Yes, according to the papers, Obama may have been handed the keys to GM...but the old jalopy is worn out. The French say the whole US economic model is ready for the junkyard. More on the French...and the French model, below...

First, let's stick with the USA.

The Dow rose 221 points yesterday - to 8,821... Investors think the worst is over.

Everything is going up. Copper is up 65% so far this year. Oil is up 53%. Soybeans are up 22%. Top stock markets are up about 30% worldwide. And gold is 12%. In this company gold is a laggard!

Copper has risen so much, say the papers, because China is buying all it can get. What it is doing with the stuff we don't know; maybe it is stocking up at what it believes are low prices.

Maybe it is hedging its bets. China has the biggest pile of Treasury bonds in the world - $768 billion of them. That's 768 billion reasons to worry. Because each T-bond is denominated in dollars...and while everything else is going up, dollars are going down. Yesterday, the dollar touched a new low against the euro for this year - at $1.42.

T-bonds are down too - minus 5% for the year. It would not be at all surprising for the Chinese to be stockpiling oil, gold, copper and all the other inflation hedges they can get. Their dollar-denominated bonds may go down...but their commodities and gold would go up. Overall, they'd come out even. You can also hedge your own nest egg with commodities. Find out how in tomorrow's webinar...by registering here.

Yet this week, Mr. Tim Geithner - the big banks' main man in Washington - is in China trying to reassure the Chinese that America takes its financial obligations seriously. That's something we never expected to see either. America may have the strongest economy on earth. But if the commies stop financing it, we're out of business.

So Geithner is in China, hat in hand, like a major debtor called into the bank president's office. Geithner, of course, has no choice. He has to go...and say what he has to say. He will use all the right words. He will show the appropriate seriousness...he will smile when it is called for...and put on a grave face when he needs to.

The trouble is, there's little he can do to help the Chinese. They want him to protect the dollar and the bond market. That's something he can't do.

"It will be helpful if Mr. Geithner can show us some arithmetic," said Yu Yongding, a former advisor to the Chinese central bank.

Yes, we'd like to see that arithmetic too. How do you add $1.75 trillion in deficits...pay for it with funny money from the Fed...and still come out even on the value of the dollar? There's no arithmetic we know of that works in the Chinese favor. Right now, the numbers...and the logic of the situation...are telling us that feds aim to create inflation. Instead of trying to keep prices under control...they're trying to get them to go up. That's yet another thing we didn't expect to see!

The US government is less concerned with protecting foreign lenders than it is with getting the US economy back to its old E-Z money ways. Cheap money is what people want. Cheap money is what the feds are trying to give them.

To strengthen your hand against the ravages of cheap money you may want to consider investing in gold. Here's one option that offers an exceptionally low cost way to get aboard...read more here.

Today - will wonders never cease! - the US is pushing its phony money all over the world. The Chinese, meanwhile, are champions of financial integrity. Just wait until they give up on US bonds...then, we'll really see something we ain't seen yet!

And, Bill will continue in a moment, but first, more news from yesterday's guest host...

"Yesterday's rally brought us to another pivot point... 2009, take two," reports Ian from today's 5 Minute Forecast.


"The Dow and S&P 500 climbed 2.5% yesterday, bumping the broader index into the black for the year, with the Dow close behind. Tech best stocks crossed this break-even point long ago, as the tech-heavy Nasdaq is up almost 15% year to date.

"It takes a 'special' kind of market to rally over 2% the day GM sold the farm. So what's gotten into traders this week? In a word: manufacturing.


"The ISM's measure of American manufacturing scored 42.8 in May, the group reported yesterday. That's its fifth straight monthly rise and the best reading since September 2008. At the current rate, the index will be out of the sub-50 contraction range by the end of summer... reason to buy the S&P 500 hand over fist, evidently.

"Construction spending unexpectedly rose from the void too, popping 0.8% in April. According to yesterday's Commerce Department release, that's the biggest gain in eight months. Like the ISM's, this gauge is still on its knees, down 10% from this time last year. But also like with the ISM's...better to buy now and ask questions later...right?

"Alas, the only truly positive manufacturing data yesterday came from China. The red nation reported its manufacturing purchasing managers index (like our ISM) scored 53 in May, its third straight month of expansion."

If you want to make sure you get Ian's insight from The 5 - in its entirety every Monday through Friday - you can...by subscribing to one of Agora Financial's paid publications. One such fortune-building read is Wayne Burritt's Easy Money Options...available here.

Now back to Bill, continuing his thoughts from London:

The French think they were right about everything. Iraq, for example. The French have deep ties to the Arab world. They knew Iraq would be a tar baby for the US - just like Algeria had been for them. You pick it up...you can't put it down.

But Congress and the administration not only ignored the French (as they had when Charles DeGaulle advised against intervention in Vietnam in the early '60s - it was a "rotten country," he said) they accused France of cowardice, dumped good bottles of Bordeaux down the drain and renamed French fries 'freedom fries.'

Remember the jokes? When a bomb blew up a Spanish train, France raised its color-coded Terror Alert system...from mauve for "Collaborate" to chartreuse for "Run and Hide."

And remember what Anglo-Saxon economists said about the French economy? It was 'sclerotic'...it was a 'museum'...first, it was tied up by labor unions and then the socialist politicians did kinky things to it.

But every dog has his day, and now the French are enjoying a delicious moment of schadenfreude.

The frogs stayed out of Iraq...avoided a housing bubble...and side- stepped a credit crisis.

And now, the "French model" for managing an economy is the envy of the world. At least, that's what you might think if you read The Economist. A recent issue has Sarkozy on the cover...looking confident and pleased with himself. By contrast, Britain's Gordon Brown and Germany's Angela Merkel look as though they needed a drink.

What's the 'French model?' It's a system where the state meddles heavily in the economy. Health care, education and public transport are all government enterprises. And political cronies, rather than entrepreneurs, run key businesses.

Heck the French don't even have a word for "entrepreneur," as George W. Bush pointed out.

It seems to work fairly well. The health care system functions fairly well - while taking a smaller percentage of GDP than in the US. The trains run on time (except when there is a strike). Grammar and secondary schools are probably better than in the US; the universities are probably worse. And many of France's private businesses are world leaders - Air Liquide, Danone, LVMH, to name just a few that come to mind.

And so far, France has suffered less from the worldwide financial meltdown than any of its rivals. The last time we were in Paris, the restaurants seemed as full as ever; taxi cabs were as hard to get as ever; and Paris property had barely come down at all - at least, officially.

"I'm not so sure..." said a colleague in Paris. "I've been looking for an apartment for the last year. A year ago, there was almost nothing available in my price range. Now, I'm seeing lots of places. I looked at one last week. It is listed at $340,000 - about what it would have been a year ago. But the agent told me that the seller would probably take $275,000. If they're telling me that right off-the-bat, I figure it might go for $250,000."

 

What Happens When You Have More Month Left Over at the End of Your Money?

This is a humorous and popular question from late night infomercials. Or it used to be, when I watched them years ago while tending to sleepless babies. But for those who experience it as a regular occurrence, it is anything but glib or funny.

Since the first of the year, we have lost three million jobs in the US. Those folks have lots of month left over at the end of their money. And as tragic as that is, there's an even bigger story brewing here.

As a result of rising unemployment, tax receipts have been down 14%. In April, we recorded a deficit for the month. Why is that significant? Because April is the biggest tax receipt month here in the US (you know, with April 15).

This is like saying you can't meet your monthly budget on the month when you get your biggest bonus of the year.

For the US, that's what April is. And if we have too much month left over at the end of our money now, what is going to happen the rest of the year?

Well, unless you live under a rock, you've heard about skyrocketing deficits, unparalleled borrowing, endless spending and uninhibited ambition.

Combine these factors with an unlimited commitment to print money, and we have the recipe for unequalled price inflation.

It took America 240 years to accumulate $9 Trillion in debt. And in one year we are adding $8 Trillion more. That's pretty sobering. The Congressional budget office is looking at deficits for years to come, and they haven't even factored in what will be the unmitigated damage caused by inflation. 

The government warned earlier this week that in only seven years, Social Security will be paying out more than it takes in. Our Medicare obligations are in even worse shape. Last year Medicare paid out more in hospital expenses than it took in...a performance they will repeat again this year.

Administrations have put off dealing with this issue. But the law of the harvest is coming true. What you plant, is what you reap. Planting financial foolishness, they are now reaping bankruptcy and insolvency. No one wanted to touch it, because there is only one way to fix it. Somebody is gonna have to have the guts to stand up and say so. But the elected officials who do will not be re-elected. They will likely be viewed as worse scoundrels than that group over at AIG. People will say their names in disgust, and spit when they are mentioned.

What does all this have to do with the FX stocks market? Plenty! A currency's value, just like everything else, is tied to the Law of Supply and Demand. When a government is committed to paying their bills by printing money, the supply of currency rises. Ipso facto, the demand for the currency falls. Falling demand is followed by falling prices.

In short, the Dollar is doomed. No one will stand up and do the things that have to be done. And if they did, assassination might shortly follow. So how do we profit from the falling dollar? Simple. Short sell it against other, stronger currencies. And when I say simple...I mean simple! Just a few clicks on your mouse pad, and you're in the biggest trading arena of all.

Of course, just because it is simple, doesn't mean it is easy.

Lots and lots of traders lose their shirts every year because they mistake those two ideas.

But just this week we closed a position that traded on US dollar weakness, and Australian strength. We profited 100% in just a few weeks. And by the looks of things, we should have plenty more opportunities as the US FED and Treasury, (in conjunction with the Chinese, Russians, Brazilians, and Indians) sink the dollar. We'll have more on the efforts of these other nations next time.

A Period of Creative Destruction

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! We're all gonna die.

- Country Joe & the Fish, "I Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag"

Robert McNamara must have been in a hurry too. He never had time to wonder why he was sending 500,000 American boys to fight a war when Lyndon Johnson was "publicly promising in campaign speeches not to 'go North,' not to send American boys to fight wars Asian boys ought to fight for themselves," as an editorial appearing in the June 17, 1971 issue of The Washington Post put it.

Both the International Herald Tribune and the Financial Times describe the former Secretary of Defense as the "architect" of the Vietnam War. This is news to us and libelous to real architects; as near as we could tell, the war went on without plans or blueprints, clapped together by jackleg meddlers. Then, the whole thing fell down in a heap.

But we do not disrespect the dead here at The Daily Reckoning. Instead, we cut them open in order to figure out what was wrong with them. Look for the autopsy report later in the week...until then, Robert S. McNamara, RIP.

For today, let us return to the markets.

Yesterday, the Dow rose 43 points. Oil sank to $64. Gold traded at $924. The dollar remained about where it was, at $1.39 per euro. And the 10-year note yielded almost exactly 3.5%.

Economists are guessing about how high unemployment will go in the United States. One estimate in RealEconomics has it peaking out at 14%. Another, from PIMCO, worries that it might just climb over 10% and stay there for a long time.

Naturally, the calls for more stimulus spending are becoming louder. People are wondering how come Washington bails out Wall Street but not California.

Wouldn't that stimulate the economy? The Golden State is issuing IOUs to paper over the holes in its budget. Wall Street has announced that it has found a way to make a buck on California's troubles; it will trade the IOUs just like bonds. But major creditors - fearing the paper could decline in value - may not take it...forcing California into a more immediate crisis.

This will make people wonder something else: how come creditors take US IOUs, but not California's? The feds' deficit is 70 times greater than California's. Yet, lend money to the federal government for 10 years and you get just 3.5%.

Meanwhile, in the business sector, Bloomberg continues its reports on the progress of the depression: "Earnings Drop Worldwide," says the headline.

In the United States, dividends are going down faster than at any time in the last 50 years. Businesses are earning less and paying less in dividends because shoppers have stopped buying.

Maybe it's just mid-summer. But despite the darkening clouds, there's an air of eternity...like the stillness before a thunder storm...as if time were stuck in a drop of amber...and lightning would never strike.

"The worst is behind us," says a report from the British Chamber of Commerce. Of course, those words could have come from any one of dozens of sources. Economists believe it. Businessmen. Investors. The recovery may be "long" and "fragile." Maybe "L" shaped...rather than the V we were hoping for.

However, Capital & Crisis' Chris Mayer tells us, the crisis is far from over. "We talk incessantly about bailing out the banks, bailing out Wall Street, when the real question is: who is going to bail out the taxpayers?" Well, it won't be Washington...so most likely, you'll have to fend for yourself.

Now, should come the part where the rebuilding begins...and yet, there is no rebuilding. Instead, the economic model that has existed more or less intact since the end of WWII is being dismantled.

Yes, dear reader, we have entered a period of creative destruction. Between the Napoleonic Wars and WWI was a period of growth and stability. There were disruptions - even grave disruptions, such as the War Between the States in the United States and the Franco-Prussian War in Europe. There were various uprisings, communes and Risorgimientos. But the 'powers that be' were solid. So was their money. The pound, the dollar, and the franc were all backed by gold. European powers ruled the earth. Britain ruled the waves. And gold ruled commerce and banking.

It all came to a disastrous end in 1914. Soon, almost every government in Europe was bankrupt. The royal families of Europe - the Hohenzollerns, the Hapsburgs, the Ottomans, and the Romanovs - all were swept away by war and revolution. And then came the Genoa agreement of 1922 that allowed central bankers to hold pounds or dollars, instead of gold, as reserves. It was a small step for man...but a big step on the road to ruin. Thereafter came a number of other steps leading up to Richard Nixon's giant step in August 1971, removing the last trace of gold from the world's official financial system.

The Archduke Ferdinand was shot in Sarajevo in June 1914. The summer that followed was uneasy but, for a while, calm. No one was quite sure what would happen next. As the warm days went by, it began to look as though nothing would happen at all. People had lived through a century of relative peace and prosperity. Smart people believed that something fundamental had changed. It was a new era, they thought. Globalization was making them all rich. And new technological innovations - the internal combustion engine, automobiles, airplanes, electrical appliances - promised a better, easier life for everyone. This better life was based on capital...savings put to work in factories, buildings, machines and transportation systems. Wars no longer made sense, since they destroyed this vital capital. Everyone clearly benefited from the new system of globalized trade; no one stood to gain anything worthwhile from war. One popular book of the time argued that war had become obsolete...unthinkable in this new modern world.

Alas...here we are.

Now, for the top stocks market news from The 5 Min. Forecast:

"We've found a raging bull market despite the current recession: Congressional travel expenses," writes Ian Mathias in today's issue of The 5.

"Lawmaker spending on overseas vaca...sorry, diplomatic excursions has nearly tripled since 2001. See for yourself:

"According to a study from The Wall Street Journal, hundreds of lawmakers traveled overseas last year at a record taxpayer cost of $13 million. And that doesn't include off-budget costs like spending in war zones or borrowing government planes to jet set abroad.

"Some of last year's most diplomatically vital trips include: Five representatives checked out the Galapagos Islands to 'learn about global warming.' Six senators attended the Paris Air Show. Eight lawmakers enjoyed a delightful eight-day Italian excursion. And perhaps taking the cake, the House Homeland Security Committee's jaunt to Brazil, Argentina, Peru and Panama... pertaining to the defense of US borders, we must assume.

"While the official numbers aren't out yet, the WSJ claims expenses this year appear just as outrageous. There are over 20 government employees whose sole job function is to plan congressional outings."

And back to Bill, with more thoughts:

Despite the comforting arguments in July 1914, the guns opened up in August and didn't stop until four years later. Even then, the destruction was not over. The next three decades were spent settling scores and sorting out the debris; the Bolshevik coup in Russia...Mao's victory in China...taking the Germans and Japanese down a notch...hyperinflation in Germany...depression in America - taken together, these developments created a new world order.

The United States of America emerged triumphant. The US has dominated the planet's military affairs ever since; the dollar has dominated its financial affairs.

But now this giant seems vulnerable. It still has the world's strongest military, but depends on it rivals for financing. Britain depended on financing from America in WWII. But America's elite were anglophiles...gladly sharing power with the British Empire in the interwar period, and then stepping into its boots after WWII. The handover of imperial power was smooth. Diplomats still speak of the 'special relationship' between the United States and Britain.

Today's rivals are different. They speak different languages. They have different political systems...and different cultures. They are not European powers. Led by China, they are responsible for a larger and larger share of the world's output. And they already are responsible for a large share of the world's savings - with the biggest piles of cash in the world. Until now, they have recycled those savings back into the United States. It was as if you bought a new automobile and then the manufacturer gave you back your money so you could buy another one. This arrangement seemed to serve everyone fairly well for a long, long time. Americans got to enjoy a standard of living that not even they could afford. Emerging markets got to emerge much faster than they would have otherwise. Factories went up in Asia; debts went up in America stocks market.

But that economic model is finished. Broken. It's over. Kaput. American consumers are not going to go further into debt so that Chinese factory workers can add to their savings. Instead, savings rates are soaring in the United States. And the Chinese are facing riots (described as "ethic riots" in the paper...they have left 156 dead in a remote Chinese province...How much effect did the financial downturn have on this civil insurrection? We don't know...)

Like the great powers in the summer of '14, no one has an interest in upsetting the economic model of the last 50 years or disturbing the political stability of post-Cold War period. Besides, the rising powers - again, led by China - are "trapped," say analysts. They are thought to have "no choice" but to back the United States and its dollar.

"China - with 80 different car makers to bail out... tens of thousands of huge socialist-era factories... and 100s of millions of workers to support - has a big problem," The Richebacher Letter's Rob Parenteau tells us.

"Much bigger than they're letting on."

"But when you are trapped, you spend all your time trying to figure out how to get free," said an analyst we met with yesterday. "Sooner or later, they'll find a way. Then, watch out."

Amazing Stocks Investment Strategy

The red letter/number combination you see at the top of this page is a "PIN number" you can use.

The $750 you see highlighted in yellow is roughly the amount you can collect instantly by punching it in.

Both the "PIN #" and the $ amount change every few days…

But these are "live" and active right now.

If you were to punch in the code above, $750 (maybe slightly more, maybe less – the price can change fast) would appear in your brokerage account immediately.

This is no joke.

Over the last several months, I've shared similar "PIN numbers" with a small group of folks before this one… and not a single one has failed to work. 

I know for a fact the "PIN Codes" I share with my subscribers worked too, because people who have followed my recommendations have e-mailed me to say the cash showed up already.

Some asked: "Are you sure this is legal?"

Yes – it's perfectly legal. Professional traders and fund managers collect millions using this technique every day. Why shouldn't you?

Others keep writing to tell me they just got another chunk of cash in their account. "Really, Lee, how long can this keep up?" a few have asked.

Here's my answer:

There will always be opportunities to collect this kind of cash. I know, because I've been doing it for years. In fact, back when I was a floor trader and market maker, I would use this little "glitch" in the market to pay my $8,000-per-month exchange seat rent. That said, I've never seen these "virtual ATM PINs" paying as much cash as they're paying today – so keep watching your e-mail for more!

I love calling these codes "virtual ATM PIN numbers" because that's exactly what they feel like to me.

Only rather than going to your bank's ATM machine, you punch these PIN numbers into your computer…

And instead of a few twenty dollar bills coming out, the money you get – hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars – shows up in your trading account, typically in a matter of seconds.

In all, Ken has collected over $29,500 in cash so far this year. Plus he collected another $11,000 when he started using this little "virtual ATM" strategy as the market was crumbling late last year.

People who use this strategy aren't buying top stocks for 2010, options, bonds, treasury notes or any "investment" at all.

They're not selling a product or getting involved in any Internet-based business. There's no effort or special knowledge involved. You don't have to "convince" anyone to send you the cash…

You don't need any special software package or start-up kit either… just an active, adequately funded brokerage account.

Once you get the "PIN Code" from me, simply enter it in the appropriate spot and your money (in today's case, roughly $750) should show up in a brokerage account within seconds.

All in all it takes about 55 seconds to execute – from the time you log onto a brokerage account to when the cash appears in your account.

Nobody Just "Gives Away" Cash… Or Do They?

Now I know what you might be thinking: "Lee, it can't be that easy. Nobody just 'gives away' cash."

Amazingly, they do.

No "one" person in particular, mind you.

The money you get from punching in these PIN numbers comes from a big pool of people – everyone from ordinary investors to big institutional traders.

And they're happy to pay out the cash because they're looking to make money on the deal too. (More on that later…)

The big difference is: The folks who are paying you may or may not get their money back…

But you keep the money regardless. In fact SEC regulations require:

Once you type in your PIN and collect your cash – the money you get is yours to keep forever.

No matter what…

For instance, you can go to your computer right now, as I write you today, type in "PIN # GEW-749" and you can have roughly $690 show up in your account.

Enter MQFS-79 and have roughly $1,320 a few seconds after punching it in…

Or punch in DOWR-49 and get $550 instantly…

Money that's yours to keep forever.

The bank will never call you up and say "Sorry, the market moved against you today. You need to pay that money back to us."

I'm not trying to be cute or clever here.

And I know this concept of getting cash instantly just for punching in a few letters may seem hard to believe.

But I'm sharing with you a very real way to pad a trading account with cash – cash you get right away and never have to pay back.

I guarantee it.

In fact, if you don't have an opportunity to collect at least $750 in cash over the next 30 days of using this incredible little "virtual ATM strategy" – I'll send you $750 myself.

That's how sure I am!

More on that in a moment…

But first, let me introduce myself – and tell you a little about how I discovered this amazing little "ATM strategy" – and how I've used it over the years to generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash for myself and the people I've shared it with.

My name is Lee Lowell.

A lot of people know me from my best selling book, Get Rich With Options: Four Winning Strategies Straight from the Exchange Floor, which has quickly become the "guide of choice" for regular and professional investors alike when it comes to exploiting the enormous moneymaking potential of options.

But I'm not a professional author…

I'm a professional trader.

That's how I make my living – and it's always been that way, ever since I broke into the business as an options clerk in my early 20s.

In other words, I'm not one of those guys who earns a living telling people what to do with their money. Nor do I make my money from commissions trading other people's cash.

The bulk of my income comes from the results of my own trading efforts using my own market strategies… and those I've learned through the years from some of the country's best traders.

So when I place a trade, it better be profitable… or else.

And one thing I've learned in my 17 years as a floor trader, market maker and professional trader is: Never put yourself at the mercy of the market.

Which is why I love this "ATM strategy" and why I use it extensively in my own trading accounts.

In fact, of the dozens of great options strategies I've mastered over the years, this is by far my favorite – simply because you get the money up front (no waiting for the market to move in your favor) and there's virtually no risk at all.

Why such little risk?

Because when you use this strategy, you get paid instantly by those vast numbers of traders who do put themselves at the mercy of the market each and every day by buying options… people looking for that "big score" which more times than not never comes.

And I promise you, once you see the fundamental logic behind this very simple, very safe strategy, you may never see the need to "buy" another investment in the traditional way ever again.

Why would you after all… when it's possible to enter a simple code like the one I'm telling you about today and collect cash within a few minutes?

$750 today…

Then another $600 or so tomorrow… followed by $1,150 the week after… or maybe $900 the week after that.

My point is, you can use this strategy – and this strategy alone – to generate a steady stream in cash income… without buying a single best stock, bond, option or anything.

And you can start today… beginning with $750 using the code I've recently issued.

Here's the best part.

It's Money You NEVER Give Back

Like many folks who use this strategy, you may be able to collect more than the $750 I'm quoting. That's because, for simplicity purposes, I'm basing these numbers on you punching in the code and asking to get paid on 10 units…

Choose to get paid on 15 units… and you get $1,125 instantly

Choose to get paid on 25 units… and you get  $1,875 instantly

Choose to get paid on 50 units… and you get $3,750 instantly

Imagine punching in a simple code and having $3,750 show up in your trading account – money that's yours to keep forever!

Money you NEVER have to give back.

And you can keep growing the amount of money you collect as the months go on. In fact, as you'll see in a short moment, it's not unreasonable for an average investor to use this strategy to generate over $200,000 a year in pure, "spendable" cash.

Use the money to pay down any debts, put it towards your retirement (yes, you can use this strategy in your IRA account!), pay for exotic vacations, even a second home or a brand new car.

It's incredible how quickly the money you get adds up – especially when you're collecting the cash in a matter of seconds… and you never have to give it back.

It really is like getting an extra paycheck – for essentially doing nothing!

Now I know you might be saying to yourself at this point: "Okay, so you send me this special 'code'… I punch it in… collect all this cash instantly… and never have to give it back.

What's the catch? How does this thing work?"

Not New, Risky or Untested…

Let me be clear. This is not a strategy the average investor is likely to have ever heard about. Ask the typical investor on the street if he's ever heard of getting cash from the market just for punching in a simple code and he's apt to tell you you're nuts.

Understand also that this isn't something I've just stumbled upon or discovered recently.

It's not new, risky or untested. Professional investors use it every day. (Warren Buffett happens to be one of them).

I've been using this strategy for nearly two decades… since my days as a floor trader when I had to cough up $8,000 each and every month in "rent," just for the privilege of trading from the pit.

While I pride myself on my trading skills (as I've told you, I've made a very nice living over the years strictly on my trading prowess), buying and selling any kind of equity can be a risky business.

A stock can move against you.

A government report can drag down an entire trading sector in a single day.

A bad earnings report from one company can drag down the share prices of every best stock to buy in that industry.

News of a bone-headed management decision can wipe out profits in an afternoon.

But my "ATM strategy" has always been there for me…

When I needed to pay off my monthly floor charges, I'd spend a few hours scouring the markets for a code that paid out the most cash… punch it in… and presto, the money would show up in my trading account within an instant.

And while this Instant Money Strategy can easily be used in any market, it thrives in a market like the one we're in now... a market that's substantially off recent highs… and where volatility and uncertainty rule the day.

Sound familiar?

Right now, the broad market is about 30% off its 52-week highs.

The volatility index – or "VIX" – is more than double its recent lows (and more than triple its 5-year lows).

And given the "big picture" state of the economy, the near-term future of the market is as muddled and uncertain as it's ever been.

It all sets up perfectly for the "ATM strategy" I've been telling you about today.

Since 2007 in fact, use of this "ATM strategy" spiked over 40%. Why?

Because as the markets faltered, high level investors knew stock market profits would be few and far between. So they took advantage of the enormous volatility and used this strategy to generate a nice income for themselves, while they waited for some level of sanity to return to the market.

And even though the markets have come off recent lows, great "ATM strategy" opportunities still exist right now.

Just Some of the Cash Being Paid Now…

In fact, I'm looking down a list of "PIN Codes" now – situations that in the past have typically paid out very good lump sums of instant money to people like us who know how to access it – and a lot of cash is being paid out.

Now I don't want to give you the wrong idea.

Finding these codes isn't easy. There a lot of factors to consider… a ton of data to sift through before I can turn up a single "Code" that can pay you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in an instant.

But when you know where to look – and when you're active in the markets like I am each and every day – these codes have a habit of popping up all over the place.

Today's code, for instance, came while I was looking to execute a trade on natural gas' trend higher. In my research, I came across a code that was offering an easy cash payout.

So I simply shot out an e-mail to folks who've signed on to get my "Instant Money" codes and – presto! Those folks had an opportunity to add cold hard cash – hundreds, even thousands – to their trading accounts… in less than a minute's time.

And it's still paying out cash as I write you today… cash you can have deposited in your brokerage account instantly as well.

Fact is, folks who've been getting my Instant Money Trader alerts regularly have had an opportunity to add hundreds of thousands of dollars collectively to their accounts since I began issuing my instant money "PIN Codes" last November.

There's no telling how much these codes will dole out on any given day.

Some pay out a couple hundred dollars… while others let you collect $1,200 or more. It just depends on how much those "risk takers" are willing to pay you at any given time!

There is no shortage of opportunities to collect this money either.

That's why I'm so confident you'll have an opportunity to collect at least $750 over the next 30 days using this system that I'll pay you $750 if you don't.

So How Does it Work?

So what exactly is this "Instant Money" strategy, and how can you use it to collect thousands of dollars a year?

In a nutshell it's a very specific and specialized kind of options transaction… though it's not the kind of options transaction most investors are familiar with.

Don't worry. You never have to buy an option (or anything) to get your payout.

No money ever needs to leave your account in order to collect and keep your Instant Money payouts.

You'll never have to gamble on any high-risk, shoot-for-the-moon investments.

In fact, with this strategy it's the exact opposite. The people paying you are the ones taking the big risks. They're, in effect, buying high-risk options in the hopes that a particular investment will move in their direction within a certain period of time… and you're the one selling it to them!

Any smart investor knows, trying to predict which way a stock is going to move is hard enough… but try to nail the timing as well? Without a whole lot of luck… it's virtually impossible. And it's why, historically, 80% of the people who buy options lose money.

But with the "Instant Money" strategy, we're not the buyers… we're the sellers. Which puts anyone who's selling clearly on the winning side of the equation.

Not only that, using my proven probability indicators culled from my 17 years in the trading trenches, I make sure we're always in a situation where we're collecting the most Instant Cash, with the very least amount of downside risk. (And as you'll discover once you begin using this strategy, even the downside risk associated with these trades can turn out to be even more profitable than the instant cash you get executing them!)

The Safest Income Strategy on Earth

Like I've been telling you, I consider my "Instant Money" strategy the safest income generating strategy on earth.

Why? Because it's the only strategy that pays you first – without you having to buy anything or pay out any cash whatsoever.

And all you have to do, to begin profiting right away, is agree to follow the recommendation, execute the trade and the money is deposited into your account immediately.

Call me crazy or biased, but I think every serious person who wants an opportunity to bolster his or her portfolio by tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars should be using this strategy.

And I'm not the only one.

Barron's: This strategy is "Now Especially Relevant"

Just this past June 8th, Barron's reported that this ATM cash strategy is "now especially relevant as many investors are afraid to miss out on another best stock for 2010 rally even while they fret that inflation, U.S. dollar devaluation, rising bond yields and confusing economic data could crush stock prices."

Kenneth Trester, one of the foremost authorities on options, says "the profit potentials (using this strategy) are greater than in any other segment of the options market… and can generate from 50% to a 100% return annually… consistently over a longer period of time."

I know several private fund managers who quietly use this strategy as a way of earning substantial returns for their well-heeled and institutional clientele in this unpredictable market.

Pulitzer Prize winning financial writer and investor James B. Stewart recently wrote in Smart Money that the Instant Money technique "is a good way to raise cash right now". He recently took advantage of some "Instant Cash" situations involving J.P. Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley and says…

"The cash is now in my account, and it's more than enough to pay for all my Christmas shopping."

Heck, even Warren Buffet – the world's greatest and most famous investor – has quietly been using this strategy the past few years to add millions to his Berkshire Hathaway portfolios.

Yes despite some very high profile investment experts who use this "Instant Money" strategy, it's still pretty much unknown to most investors.

And that's just fine with us…

Because there's no question that the best (and most lucrative) investment strategies are the ones that are the least widely known.

Experienced traders know: Once everyone knows about a great opportunity, it's no longer a great opportunity…

Use it to Add $1.1 Million to Your Account

But more importantly, it's the fastest (and most risk-adverse) way I know of to add upwards of a million dollars to your net worth in a very short period of time.

Here's what I mean…

The way this strategy works (and why its use is limited to only serious wealth builders) is, the more cash and/or assets you have in your brokerage account, the more "instant cash" you're entitled to collect.

So if you have $10,000 in assets in your trading account, you're likely able to collect $1,000 a month using this strategy.

If you have $25,000, then you'll likely be able to collect upwards of $2,500 to $3,000.

If you have $50,000 to $100,000 in assets, then there's no reason why you can't use my "Instant Money" strategy to add up to $10,000 a month.

But remember, even if you're starting small, you're adding cash every month. So if you're starting with $25,000 worth of cash or assets in your brokerage account – and you add $2,500 every month – within a year your brokerage account asset base could double or more, which means a year from now, you could collect twice as much in instant cash each and every month.

Let me show you how fast the money can add up…

The chart below shows you how you can use this strategy to turn $25,000 into over a million – simply by punching in the codes I send you time after time:

In other words, as you "ladder up" the amount of instant cash you're entitled to month after month, you could use this amazing strategy to amass a $1.12 million nest egg within five short years – an average of $219,600 per year!

And remember…

You could do this without buying a single stock, option, bond or anything – AND without taking huge, unnecessary risks.

You simply collect the cash the market's paying you instantly… then wait for the next "PIN Code" to arrive from me in your computer's e-mail inbox.

It's really that simple!

But – Is "Instant Money" Really For You?

Listen.

And I'm sorry if this sounds a little abrupt…

I'd love you to try trading this strategy, simply because 1) it's so easy to do… 2) it's the perfect time to do it… 3) and I get a huge thrill when I hear about investors who've been beaten around by the markets lately and are having a ton of fun investing again… and making money too.

But frankly, if you decide this isn't for you, I'm fine with it.

In fact, if you only have a few hundred or a few thousand dollars to trade – and you're looking to turn that into your retirement money in just a few months, then this strategy isn't for you.

But…

If you have some decent capital and you understand the power of growing your money safely and systematically month by month…

If you're willing to "borrow" the very strategy professional investors use when they want to bolster their trading accounts by millions of dollars with instant cash…

Then I suggest you sign up to get my regular "Instant Money" e-mails.

As Easy As Punching in a Code

Profiting from this strategy isn't rocket science.

When I come across a situation where you can get instant money – just by punching in a simple code – I'll send it to you via instant e-mail and tell you exactly what to do.

(If you hurry, you can still grab the one that's still active today: UNY85 – which should still be good for around $750. I'll send you all the details the instant you sign up.)

Then you can expect one or two more codes a month, ranging from $400 to $1,200, depending on what I uncover.

And don't forget, depending on the size of your trading account, you could choose to collect more than the amounts I'm quoting here… and grow your Instant Money nest egg even faster.

And if you're still not clear on how the strategy works, don't worry. Even though I'll tell you precisely what to do in every e-mail, all new subscribers to my Instant Money Trader get my freshly written detailed primer on precisely how this powerful strategy works.

Again, you don't have to study it or master it to profit from this strategy.  But I do recommend you take some time to read it. At the very least you'll have some rare insight into a trading strategy that to this day remains one of the most closely guarded secrets among professional traders… and you'll have specific and profitable knowledge very few ordinary investors will ever have.

What's more, I'm going to make your decision to sign up for my Instant Money Trader alerts very easy for you.

Through this special offer, the cost is just $750 for a full year's subscription.

That includes everything you need: The primer and the regular Instant Money Trader alerts – alerts that could give you an opportunity to collect more than $10,000 over the coming year. (Remember, since November, when I started issuing my "PIN Codes," Instant Money Trader subscribers have had an opportunity to collect over $7,800… and the year is not even close to being over yet!)

But here's what makes this opportunity unlike any you've seen: I don't want you to pay for your subscription…

I want the market to pay it for you.

So here's what I'm proposing to you today:

No Risk To You Whatsoever: Either The Market Pays… or We Do

Sign up for my Instant Money Trader today at the $750 price.

Then… If you don't see from me an opportunity to collect at least $750 in instant cash over the next 30 days, simply let us know and you can choose to cancel your Instant Money Trader subscription… get your $750 subscription fee back… and continue getting my alerts for an entire year.

In other words, there's no risk to you whatsoever.

Either the market pays for your subscription via "Instant Money" trades over the next 30 days… or we do.

And even if you do add instant cash to your account over the next 30 days, but decide the Instant Money Trader simply isn't your cup of tea, just let us know before the month is up and we'll return your subscription fee and offer your subscription spot up to someone else – no hard feelings.

It's as simple as that. Either you get instant cash and you're happy… or you don't pay a cent.

So to recap once more, here's what you get when you sign up:

You get my "Instant Money Primer," which explains to you in layman's terms how this amazingly simple (yet highly profitable) strategy works – and how you can use it to generate a lifetime of income for anything you want: day-to-day spending, a lifetime of travel, your child's education, your own retirement.

You get my Instant Money e-mail Alerts whenever I uncover a "PIN Code" where you can collect instant cash – complete with everything you need to follow the recommendations and have the cash in your account in under a minute. (Check your e-mail often. These can come at any time!)

You get my weekly market updates – via e-mail – alerting you to situations I'm researching and what you can expect in the days ahead as far as new Instant Money opportunities go.

You get my unequivocal no-risk, no-nonsense guarantee, where either the market gives you the opportunity to fund your subscription with "Instant Money" with the first few PIN codes you see from me… or I pay you. (Plus the regular 30-day money-back-if-you're-not-thrilled guarantee)

You'll have access to our brand new "Instant Money" webpage and a chance to send in questions via the email address in your welcome materials.

In other words, everything you need to begin profiting from this exciting strategy from the get-go…

But there is one thing…

Given the extraordinary "no-risk-to-you" nature of this offer – and the fact there's no telling how long the "PIN Code" I have for you will continue to pay out cash – I need to hear from you right away.

But more crucial than that is the instant cash you stand to collect over the coming weeks by starting right away. Remember, every single one of the "PIN Codes" I've issued through this advisory service has paid out instant cash – anywhere from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars.

In all my 17 years of profiting from this strategy, I've never seen a better time to use it than right now. Rarely has the market been so willing to pay you so much instant cash for doing practically nothing.

That's why I'm so eager for you to try it – and why I'm willing to pay you if you don't have the chance to collect at least the cost of your subscription over the next 30 days.

Motley Fool Top Stocks For 2011

Seventeen years ago, my brother David had a revelation.

It landed the two of us on the cover of Fortune. It earned us a fair amount of money... and factored into our decision to launch The Motley Fool in 1993.

In 1995, its predictive power was confirmed in the parking lot of an unknown technology company that had developed a revolutionary new computer drive...

A little-known group of "linked-in" investors paid close attention and were handsomely rewarded -- turning every $10,000 invested into $80,000 in just 24 months.

In 1999, it left a Russian national hero so disgraced he threw a public fit and threatened to sue IBM, one of America's most revered corporations...

And in March 2000, it led the exasperated CEO of a cash-hemorrhaging mining company directly to the richest and most profitable gold strike in the world.

Are you intrigued? I was.

My brother was spellbound. He set out at once to outline everything he would need to harness this powerful signal and put it to use helping individual investors build their own personal wealth.

It was a daunting task. There were times I secretly feared he'd never get his project off the ground. Then in March 2005, we caught a break...

A $2 million Innovation Grant allowed David to assemble a "Dream Team" of financial experts and scientists that led to this letter I'm writing you today...

• One is a NASA scientist with a PhD in computational neuroscience.
• Another is a talented investor with a documented track record of helping individual investors beat the market.
• A third was among the first and most successful hedge fund managers in modern finance history.

With their hard work and guidance, and the help of literally dozens of Motley Fool developers and analysts, plus the collective intelligence of tens of thousands of hardworking investors like you...

Our "pipe dream" is a groundbreaking reality!

Now there's evidence it can help investors like us build our wealth faster and with less volatility than you might think possible -- no matter what the market throws our way in 2011.

I know that sounds fantastic, but I'll explain everything.

Including what my brother and I discovered 17 years ago and how it can help you make more money than you are making right now, MINUS the gut-wrenching volatility you've been told to accept as unavoidable.

I have much to tell you, and I think you'll find it a compelling read. To help you decide whether it's worth investing a few minutes of your time, let's address the elephant in the room:

Of course, I mean "What's in it for you?"

So what is in it for you? I'll explain...

By now, you may have heard. Two years ago, I transferred $1 million in Motley Fool funds to a private account, promising to pay it back in full -- and then some.

My pledge was to methodically grow that $1 million at 15% per year into $1 billion over the next 50 years -- an ambitious goal to be sure, but one I still very much intend to achieve.

At the time, I also offered Motley Fool members the opportunity to "take part in something historic and have a little fun, too." Plus, as I recall saying at the time, "Nothing short of a realistic shot at life-changing wealth"...

I hope you took me up on my offer to follow along with me as I build and manage my million-dollar common top stocks portfolio for 2011. I eagerly look forward to an exciting and worthwhile adventure. Yet, here's the thing...

My brother David thinks he can help you do even better!

Especially, he points out, in a market as unpredictable and volatile as this one. And to prove it, David has agreed to put REAL MONEY where his mouth is -- also to the tune of $1 million in The Motley Fool's cold, hard cash.

Now, with the help of one of the best investors and educators we've ever met, he is building his own real-money investment portfolio -- although with one very important twist...

David's million-dollar, real-money portfolio is not only invested in common top stocks for 2011 -– it is an actively managed "LONG/SHORT" investment portfolio made up of a full arsenal of investment vehicles.

On October 7 2008, David invited a small group of Motley Fool members to follow along in real time. The response was overwhelming. We stopped enrolling members and started building a waiting list.

On October 26, 2009, Barron's dedicated an entire column to this little group's success -- in a feature called "Giving Your Portfolio More Options." I'll show you some interesting excerpts from Barron's just ahead.

Meanwhile, here are a few comments from investors like you who took David Gardner up on his previous offer...

• "I was losing money. Since I joined, I have been able to have a positive return. This in itself has paid for the service." -- O. Rivera, Dover, NJ
• "With your help, I have stopped the bleeding and reversed the flow. With options added in with stock purchases, I have made close to 30% since I signed up." -- Barry M., Buford, GA
• "This really is a first-class service, and I am having a great time learning and implementing the strategies. Well worth the price of entry in my book." -- Mike H., Redmond, WA

As for the folks we placed on the waiting list, they have been waiting for seven months and are reading this invitation along with you right now. So, please do hear me out. I think you'll see why I say this is unlike anything you've ever been offered by The Motley Fool.

For one thing, it's the first time The Motley Fool has offered a membership service that helps you PROTECT your capital and smooth out your returns. At the same time, it exposes you to more sophisticated investments and strategies -- with the realistic goal of earning you...

Positive REAL returns in up, down, and even flat markets!

It's also the first Motley Fool service that, in addition to showing you step-by-step how to build your own LONG/SHORT stock and options portfolio, also provides you with...

• Specific industry and sector insights
• Timely macroeconomic market commentary
• Detailed qualitative analysis of broad market trends
• Unlimited, deeper-dive access to the world's most exhaustive stock-rating database
• Extensive bottom-up company and community intelligence data and research capabilities

Hence the name of this unusual new project, Motley Fool PRO -- which I'll explain in more detail in the next few pages.

This letter is your invitation to join my brother David Gardner, and his talented co-advisor you're about to meet -- and take part in what we all expect to be an exciting and profitable adventure.

In fact, as you read these words, the Motley Fool PRO team is putting that million dollars to work in a real-money, actively managed portfolio they intend to multiply in value many, many times over.

And true to form, the portfolio is already up 24% -- despite a hefty 40% cash balance and having launched into a market some have called "the worst in history." And get this…

Of the 28 positions opened and closed in the Motley Fool PRO portfolio -- 26 were closed at a profit. That's a stunning 93% win rate.

Plus, 19 positions closed for 100% gains or more!

While of the 21 current stock and ETF positions, a full 18 are in the black (including gains of 85%, 86%, 91%) while only 3 are down, slightly.

But don't worry, the portfolio is not nearly fully invested. In fact, David and his team have more than $400,000 in cash ready to invest.

In other words, you haven't missed the boat. Far from it. Not only do I believe that the open portfolio positions are just getting started… after all, David and Jeff keep adding money to them… I KNOW there are plenty more where they came from, as you're about to discover.

To see why I'm so confident, let's address the first reason why NOW is the time for you to start putting the Motley Fool PRO investments and strategies to work preserving and protecting your capital.

Are you consistently making money in up, down... even flat and roller-coaster markets?

As a Motley Fool member, you're aware of the fortunes that await patient, long-term buy-and-hold investors.

But you can also agree these are remarkable times.

Increasingly, Motley Fool members are taking an interest in the advantages offered by more sophisticated investing, trading, and hedging strategies.

That's understandable. Especially given the treacherous, unforgiving market we've just come through and have every reason to believe we will experience again...

One that puts us at the mercy of powerful sector rotations, constantly changing leadership, and devastating blowups.

PUT and CALL options, for example, can juice our gains in up and down markets, generate excess regular income, and reduce overall volatility.

In addition to options, you've also expressed an interest in profiting from and learning more about...

• Exchange-traded funds (ETFs), both long and short
• Individual short positions
• Market-neutral long/short paired trades
• Income-generating energy limited partnerships
• Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)

It shouldn't surprise you to hear that my brother David and I wholeheartedly share your interest!

In fact, you may recall that David's original real-money Rule Breaker portfolio was a long/short portfolio -- earning FULLY DOCUMENTED returns in excess of 20% per year over a decade that included one of the worst bear markets in history.

Yet, as rewarding as those returns were for investors who profited following this innovative strategy from 1994 to 2003, I'm convinced there has NEVER been a market better suited to these diverse strategies than RIGHT NOW...

• Put and call options are uniquely suited to help judicious, opportunistic investors like us take advantage of market volatility and whipsawing stock prices like we're bound to experience again.
• Short positions, when handled wisely, can be used to hedge against excessive volatility, capture short-term downward momentum, and boost our absolute portfolio returns in long-term downtrends.
• Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offer unique advantages -- allowing us to exploit sector and geographic trends, capitalize on pockets of investor exuberance and fear, and profit from short-term sector and "cap-range" mispricings, either to the upside or downside.

And because we can profit when prices move up or down or even nowhere, all three can provide us the performance, income, and PEACE OF MIND we need to protect our gains and keep making money when top stocks for 2011 "go nowhere fast" like they have the past 10 years.

This is the first reason my brother, David Gardner, is so confident he can do even better with his million-dollar investment -- no matter what the market throws our way...

"When you're a member of Motley Fool PRO, you have a deeper toolbox!"

In the remainder of this letter, I'll show you how a dedicated team of experts intends to use this expanded toolbox to grow a million dollars of Motley Fool money into a massive fortune -- and how you can follow along in real time.

I'll also introduce you to the expert portfolio manager I personally recruited to manage the portfolio. You may know him already -- he has an extraordinary track record of earning market-thumping returns in all types of markets.

But first, let's address the second reason why NOW may be the time for you to start putting these more flexible strategies to work preserving and protecting your capital.

You have a secret weapon on your side!

Of course, I mean the "discovery" my brother, David, and I stumbled upon 17 years ago and have been using to build our own wealth -- by thrashing the pros on Wall Street -- ever since.

As a Motley Fool newsletter subscriber, you already have some idea what it is.

But to grasp the magnitude of what David unabashedly calls "the most exciting development in my lifetime as an investor" -- we must step back in time to 1995.

That's when a group of Fools started sniffing around Iomega, a little-known technology company with a patented new computer storage device.

The "Zip drive" held 70 times more than a floppy disk, but everybody knew that. The money was made when enterprising Fools began staking out the company's Utah factory, reporting back that the parking lots were full on weekends.

This "non-correlated" piece of intelligence -- about a little-known technology company overlooked on Wall Street -- was the final, most valuable piece to the investment puzzle.

It confirmed that the company was pulling out the stops to meet demand for its new product. In short, it was the "all clear" signal David Gardner and his readers needed to hear.

David bought the 2011 best stock for his real-money Rule Breaker portfolio in 1995. Two years later he sold, netting investors who followed his lead a cool 700% profit.

And, amazingly, David and his fellow "Rule Breakers" owed their profits to one "extra" bit of information handed to them by an informed community of so-called amateur analysts and researchers.

For David and his fellow Rule Breakers (and the editors of Fortune), the takeaway was unambiguous...

The revolution was on!

The "parking lot" story landed my brother and me on the cover of Fortune. But the best illustration of the powerful secret I'm writing to share with you today came three years later.

By that time, The Motley Fool was a thriving community of smart investors. Online bookseller Amazon.com was an Internet highflier many on Wall Street called hopelessly overvalued.

"Jeff Bezos is a bozo!" "Online retail is a fad!" "Amazon is a joke!"

Those sentiments were shared by a few "big talkers" right here in The Motley Fool community.

That's when my brother David had a second revelation. It changed the way he would look at investing forever and culminated in this letter today...

"What if you and I could go ON RECORD with our investment predictions and insights -- much the way we do when we actually BUY a company's shares or SELL it short in our own accounts?"

And what if we could track everyone's "predictions" over time and systematically rank their performance -- the way we track your advisor's performance in your Motley Fool newsletter scorecard?

Over time, the EDGE we could gain from this information could mean the difference between earning ordinary returns and raking in a potential fortune!

After all, the next time we faced an important buy or sell investment decision, we would KNOW who had been RIGHT about Amazon...

Leading us to 2,749% gains in 19 months... And who was WRONG, dooming those who followed their lead and shorted the best stock to sure financial ruin.

Now, that would be a powerful tool indeed!

Yet, even with the incredible technology on the scene in 1999, harnessing this powerful, wealth-building signal seemed an impossible task. Today, I'm writing to tell you my brother, David, has done it.

There's PROOF that it works -- and I want you to PROFIT from it, too!

Until 11:59 p.m. tonight or until we reach our enrollment cap, whichever comes first -- we will invite a small number of investors to join as new members of Motley Fool PRO. You can tell from the name that this new service is a little different.

For starters, it's more active than what you might expect from The Motley Fool. Some of our more passive investors will find it a bit fast-paced and, well, aggressive for their liking.

Yes, Motley Fool PRO will invest in well-run companies in their prime earning years, BUT David's long/short portfolio will also make liberal use of put and call options, ETFs, REITs, and the occasional short or market-neutral position.

And while there is a strong educational component to the service, more-novice investors may find Motley Fool PRO a bit -- I hesitate to say it -- advanced.

Finally, while cost shouldn't be an issue, given the returns I expect Motley Fool PRO to deliver year after year, some will find the service too pricey an up-front investment, given the size of their portfolios and modest long-term goals. I'm comfortable with that.

In fact, it's for the best. The nature of the service and the specific investments you will be making force us to keep the membership manageable. Frankly, we'd like nothing more than to avoid having to turn people away.

There are, however, two important caveats to consider while reading on...

• Enrollment will be STRICTLY LIMITED -- and past enrollment windows show that demand will be high…
• We last opened Motley Fool PRO to a similar number of members in June 2009 -- then immediately closed the service for seven months.

So, you can see why I say that it's a good thing that Motley Fool PRO isn't suitable for everybody. But the fact that you're still reading tells me that this might be just the advantage you've been waiting for -- I'd hate for you to risk missing out.

Fortunately, you can sample the entire service without risk while you decide. And whatever your decision, once you've experienced the interactive Motley Fool PRO website, I think you'll see why my brother says he would be in PAIN if he had to invest without it!

And why we've been looking forward to the opportunity to offer you this service for 17 years -- since David first recognized the power in the vast knowledge of our community's smartest investors and started using it to thump the market in his own portfolio.

So why exactly did we wait nearly two decades to pull the trigger and offer you the chance to profit from Motley Fool PRO? It's simple, really...

You see, until fairly recently, David had been forced to apply this powerful proprietary information anecdotally, in ad hoc fashion. This gave him a leg up on most investors, but he knew there had to be a better, more scientific way. Motley Fool PRO is it!

So, let me tell you more about Motley Fool PRO...

You're probably aware that The Motley Fool has been collecting raw data -- capturing the knowledge and insights of thousands of talented individual investors -- and populating the most powerful database of its kind.

You may also be aware that we have been using this proprietary data to rank literally thousands of publicly traded companies as potential market-beating investments...

At the same time, "ranking" more than a HUNDRED THOUSAND investors on their demonstrated ability to accurately predict the future movements of top stocks for 2011. This is common knowledge.

In fact, you might recognize what I've just described as The Motley Fool CAPS platform. You might even be one of our tens of thousands of active participants -- or an all-important CAPS All-Star!

If so, you've escaped the dark age of investing to a world powered by the shared intelligence of investors who USE the products, KNOW the business, even WORK at the companies we're investing in.

You've done well indeed! There are, however, 3 recent developments you almost certainly are NOT aware of...

1. Over the past 36 months, The Motley Fool has enlisted a few remarkable brains -- including a NASA scientist who gave up his space career, and a legendary hedge fund pioneer -- to help fine-tune our algorithms, optimize the investor and company rankings, and exhaustively back test the raw data...
2. The results generated by our proprietary platform have been systematically reviewed and verified by respected members of the investment and academic community, including two Harvard professors who recently published their findings...
3. The outputs available to you on the CAPS online platform, while extremely useful, are but the TIP OF THE ICEBERG. The most valuable output -- including the predictive output that attracted a hedge fund pioneer -- is locked safely behind the scenes!

This is the powerful, predictive data our NASA scientist has unlocked for us -- and that you can start profiting from today. One look at this amazing chart will tell you why this is one opportunity you don't want to let slip by...

You can agree those results are stunning. Market-thumping results and positive REAL returns -- in one of the most volatile markets in memory! And those aren't "my" numbers.

That chart was created from research compiled over more than two years beginning May 1, 2007, by an independent team of Harvard professors whose report concludes that this signal "yields information that is strongly predictive of 2011 stock market returns for individual top stocks to buy."

And it gets better...

How harnessing this proprietary "signal" can propel you past 99.4% of investors!

Even after everything we've discussed, that promise may sound over the top. But let me show you why I believe it's actually quite reasonable...

That chart you just saw PROVES that The Motley Fool's proprietary signal provides valuable new information to investors -- allowing them to generate what professional investors call "alpha."

Simply, alpha is a measure of what a portfolio manager brings to the table -- i.e., his unique ability to help you beat the market on a risk-adjusted basis.

Put another way, alpha is the key to growing your wealth faster than your neighbors' and the driving force behind the $2 trillion hedge fund industry.

And there's proof we have found it!

THIS is the amazing breakthrough that was independently confirmed by two Harvard professors who went public with their validation on April 2009. And again by a NASA scientist and the hedge fund pioneer you'll hear about shortly.

Now you can see why David calls this "the most exciting development in my lifetime as an investor." After all, it leaves us with just two questions standing between us and the long-term wealth we want and deserve...

• First, can we use this valuable, alpha-generating "information" to make money in our own portfolios?
• And if so, how would we do it?

The answer to the second question is the subject of the remainder of this invitation. To answer the first, the NASA scientist I mentioned earlier designed a simple experiment.

It involved randomly generating 25,000 common best stock portfolios. He then compared the performance of these portfolios to his "optimized" portfolio made up exclusively of our top-rated, 5-star stocks to buy.

Amazingly, this optimized portfolio outperformed 24,850 of 25,000 portfolios -- a stunning 99.4% success rate!

Fantastic! So, if you ever wondered how a NASA scientist would use our proprietary community intelligence data to help you beat the market in theory, now you know. Read on to see how you can do it in practice!

A better, more profitable solution... Motley Fool PRO!

An obvious solution would have been to apply this proprietary community intelligence filter to the recommendations you receive each month from your Motley Fool newsletter advisor.

After all, we'd be adding extra "alpha" to some of the best stock pickers in the world. David and his team seriously considered this solution. And you can agree this would be a valuable service worth paying for.

In the end, we weren't satisfied. After all, in the scenario I just described, we would still be helping you build a long-only stock portfolio, which is suboptimal for three reasons.

First, it would mean setting Motley Fool PRO's "expanded toolbox" of options, ETFs, and short positions. This would hamper his efforts to provide you positive absolute returns in all markets.

Second, we would be tying the hands of Jeff Fischer, the gentleman I spent more than a year recruiting to help manage the real-money Motley Fool PRO portfolio. And it was worth every minute.

You see, not only has Jeff been associated with The Motley Fool for nearly as long as I have... Jeff helped David run our original Rule Breaker portfolio from 1996 to 2003...

He was a big part of why David's LONG/SHORT strategy helped investors earn more than 20% per year over a decade that included one of the worst bear markets in history!

(Sound familiar? You bet it does. But do you realize that if you earn 20% per year, your wealth DOUBLES every three and a half years? It's true.)

Moreover, Jeff spent the past five years fine-tuning his portfolio management skills -- mastering the use of the sophisticated securities you will be buying alongside us as a member of Motley Fool PRO.

Only 4 losers in 4 years -- Fantastic!

From 2005 to 2008, Jeff documented his real-money options trades in REAL TIME online for subscribers to his premium advisory service.

Under my direction, a team of analysts at The Motley Fool personally reviewed Jeff's results over the entire three-year period...

Of 40 options trades closed during that period, 36 were winners AND BEAT THE MARKET. You read that right -- that means only 4 losers over 4 years!

That's a remarkable 90% success rate.

All told, in 2008, Jeff closed out 14 positions in his real-money portfolio -- 12 for a profit!

Again, that's impressive (and, remember, David and Jeff are doing even better for their Motley Fool PRO members).

Jeff's work on David's original real-money Rule Breaker portfolio -- also documented in real time online for the world to see -- was instrumental in helping earn investors like you more than 20% per year for nearly a decade.

You can see why we were determined to get Jeff on the Motley Fool PRO team and why I'm so thrilled he agreed. You can also see why I say that running a long-only portfolio would be a waste of Jeff's talents.

And true to form, Jeff is off to a great start, hitting on 95% of his options trades -- including 19 options gains closed for profits of 100% or more. Still, I don't blame you for wondering...

Why did Jeff Fischer, a successful portfolio manager and educator, give up a lucrative job -- and unlimited personal freedom -- to help YOU make more money? The same reason a NASA scientist gave up his dream job to get this project off the ground!

"The predictive power will be something of a shock to the academic community."

Those are the exact words of a Harvard professor who caught wind of our new proprietary data set and trade signal. I have a hunch he's right.

But I know of one FORMER academic and legendary investor who WON'T be shocked.

Thirty years ago he ditched his tenured position and launched an institutional hedge fund. Not only was it the first of its kind, it made him something of a legend on Wall Street.

After making millions for himself and his clients, he personally interviewed the managers of more than 2,000 hedge funds... back testing their results... breaking down their methods... and assessing their performance.

Suffice it to say that in the high-stakes hedge fund world, nobody knows what works better. And this gentleman has been over our community intelligence platform from soup to nuts. His conclusions are unmistakable...

• When it comes to generating alpha and making money in the market, this stuff works!
• It's custom-made for use in a LONG/SHORT stock and derivative portfolio --precisely the type of portfolio I'm going to help you build at Motley Fool PRO.

Here's why: After studying the data for months, it was clear to this gentleman that many of our most valuable and compelling community intelligence signals have been on the SHORT SIDE.

The subprime lenders, for example. David's community intelligence model had the group on red alert almost from the outset. On February 8, 2007, an irrefutable analysis from one of our top contributors tipped the scale -- David publicly shorted the group.

On March 5, after months of slow bleeding, three of David's top short calls, New Century Financial, NovaStar Financial, and Accredited Home, blew up, earning investors who followed the signal anywhere from 30% to 70% in a single day!

We beat "the pros" to the punch on the homebuilders, too. Led by one of our most widely followed and outspoken All-Stars, FloridaBuilder, our outlook for the builders turned decidedly negative in February 2007.

Investors who followed this signal and got out of the builders avoided a great deal of pain. Those who shorted the S&P Homebuilders (AMEX: XHB) ETF earned 57% in just 11 months.

It was a similar story for the airlines, which also plunged after our community intelligence model turned negative on the group -- making fortunes for investors on the right side of the trade.

Of course, this is the third reason why providing you another LONG-ONLY stock portfolio simply would not do. We'd be missing out on some massive opportunities -- ON THE SHORT SIDE!

And as "right" as our optimized community intelligence model was on the subprime lenders, builders, and airlines on the SHORT side, we were just as dead on about energy, with an overwhelming positive consensus and BUY signal on the LONG side.

So, you can see why ETFs with their sector focus are ideal for Motley Fool PRO. And why using options to create a nimble LONG and SHORT portfolio... one that can be market agnostic when appropriate... for you to follow along with... was a no-brainer.

You can also see why my brother's decision to launch Motley Fool PRO now... to take advantage of this relentless, unforgiving market... was inevitable.

Motley Fool PRO -- as close to "hedge fund investing" as most of us "small fish" will ever get...

Of course, the SEC doesn't want most of us mixed up with hedge funds. Unless you're an institution with tens of millions or an "accredited" investor with $1 million in investable assets (or you make $200,000 a year bare minimum), you can pretty much forget it.

And that's a shame. After all, many of the most successful institutional investors in modern history attribute their outsized returns to the long/short strategies and hedges perfected in these funds.

Yet, once again only the fat cats benefit!

This is a double slap in the face for savvy individual investors like us. After all, while hedge funds have gotten a bad rap lately, when handled correctly, they can be wildly profitable. And it's precisely when investing in more sophisticated instruments that we MOST need to know...

• Exactly when to buy or sell
• How large a part of our portfolio to allocate to them, and
• When to close out our positions or let them expire

We also need the flexibility to take advantage of the opportunities the market hands us, even if that means closing a lot of trades one week or sitting back and waiting for another.

That's why when David and Jeff Fischer developed Motley Fool PRO, they opted out of the traditional investment newsletter format and borrowed a page from my own Million Dollar Portfolio playbook.

"For those new to PRO, this stuff really works. I've generated steady streams of income in the past few months as this market has gyrated up and down."
-- S. Busco, Simi Valley, CA

With Motley Fool PRO, there is no guesswork. And while David and Jeff aren't running an actual hedge fund, their real-money PRO portfolio approach may be the next best thing for you.

You simply watch and follow along as we build and manage our balanced REAL-MONEY, LONG/SHORT portfolio, drawing from our proprietary community intelligence model...

From across the entire universe of publicly traded securities

This is the third and final reason why I don't doubt David when he says he can leave 99.4% of investors in the dust. Not only will he and Jeff Fischer be investing in options and ETFs, both long and short -- they have access to proprietary ratings on more than 5,000 top stocks to buy and EVERY SINGLE SECTOR AND INDUSTRY.

By comparison, your current newsletter service offers you a few dozen picks per year, and that's great. Across all our services, you get access to dozens more. But even that's a drop in the bucket compared to the thousands of issues that trade on U.S. markets each day.

Even Wall Street, for all the billions it spends on research each year, covers but a fraction of these top stocks to buy for 2011. And guess what falls through the cracks?

Great small companies with strong balance sheets, for one. Solid businesses with little need for "innovative" investment banking services, for another.

And on the SHORT side: struggling, overvalued companies with poor fundamentals, questionable accounting practices, and hyper-inflated assets on their balance sheets!

To hear it from the hypsters on Wall Street, most of these turkeys are ALWAYS "buys." But now you'll know better!

All told, David's community intelligence platform has POSITIVE and NEGATIVE ratings on more than 5,000 top stocks to buy -- more than Value Line, more than S&P, more than Thomson Reuters -- more than any other stock-rating service on the planet.

With Motley Fool PRO, nothing is off limits!

So, now that you've heard a bit of the strategy, let me tell you a little more about the tangible, immediate benefits you can expect to receive as a member.

When you join David Gardner and Jeff Fischer at Motley Fool PRO today, you'll recognize many of the features our members love about The Motley Fool's Million Dollar Portfolio service. It's a fantastic model that's tough to beat.

Especially if, like me, your gut tells you there is immense untapped value in the wisdom of the Motley Fool community's smartest investors, but you aren't quite sure how to use it to make real money in your portfolio.

Problem solved. Let two of the best investors I've met do it for you!

Remember, I'm offering you COMPLETE ACCESS to every single move David Gardner and Jeff Fischer make as they use this proprietary information to manage a $1 million LONG/SHORT portfolio.

You can simply follow along with your own portfolio in just minutes a month!

And when they reallocate and rebalance their holdings to maximize your profits and lower your risk as market conditions dictate, they'll notify you AHEAD OF TIME... so that you can adjust your holdings FIRST.

To give you extra confidence, The Motley Fool eagerly agreed to invest $1 million of its own REAL MONEY.

With that kind of SKIN IN THE GAME, you know David and Jeff aren't taking unnecessary chances. You can rest assured that you're getting only the very best ideas from the Motley Fool PRO money management team.

More important, you won't have to struggle with deciding when to buy or sell short a stock, ETF, REIT, or option... when to add to an existing position... or even when to lock in your profits.

When you're a member of Motley Fool PRO, David Gardner and Jeff Fischer -- two of the best and most passionate investors I've met -- will show you exactly what to do and when. You really will be partners in a unified cause, building your wealth together.

Our step-by-step model portfolio is just for starters...

I've heard from a number of members who simply kick back, watch what David and Jeff are doing with their LONG/SHORT portfolio in real time, and simply follow along. That's fine.

This might mean committing maybe 30 minutes of your time per month -- TOPS. That benefit alone will be worth many times the cost of joining.

"The timing of PRO could not have been more perfect. Thanks to Motley Fool PRO, I'm 43 and actually having FUN investing during the scariest market of my lifetime. How do you explain that?"
-- G. Hicks, Wichita, KS

Now, here's why your Motley Fool PRO membership will be unlike anything you've ever experienced. In addition to full access to every move made in the Motley Fool PRO stock and options portfolio, you'll also get full, immediate access to...

• In-depth discussions of timely and conservative but lucrative options strategies, including buying and selling calls and puts, writing covered calls, broker requirements, taxes, and more
• The Motley Fool's proprietary "community intelligence" database, PLUS individual stock, industry, sector, and macroeconomic screens and company snapshots not available anywhere else
• A unique Motley Fool PRO investment rating on every investment in a universe of 5,000+ rated top stocks to buy 

Personally, I think this is one of the truly great benefits of joining David and Jeff at Motley Fool PRO! It's a proprietary, easy-to-use, one-step stock-rating tool I call CAPShot.

Available only to Motley Fool PRO members, CAPShot instantly shows you how your companies stack up against four proprietary community intelligence benchmarks -- plus, eight more fundamental criteria handpicked for you by our Motley Fool PRO team.

With CAPShot, you get the total financial and investment picture -- summarized for you in one page!

As CEO of The Motley Fool, I foresee great interest in these CAPShot reports and fully expect The Motley Fool to provide them to professional and individual investors in the future -- for a price.

But as a charter member of Motley Fool PRO, you don't pay a cent.

Simply enter any company you want to know more about... and get as many CAPShots as you want, FREE! You can see why Motley Fool PRO is unlike anything you've ever seen from The Motley Fool. Or anybody else, for that matter!

You can also see why enrollment must be strictly capped...

The fact that you're still reading tells me you're giving Motley Fool PRO some serious thought. You need all the facts. So, before I tell you how to sign up, there are a few administrative details to remember...

1. Enrollment in Motley Fool PRO will be strictly limited -- on a first-come, first-served basis (so we ask that you please not forward this email to anyone).
2. We will be enrolling new members until 11:59 p.m. or until we reach our enrollment cap, whichever comes first... and will abruptly close the service and resume building a waiting list. There can be no exceptions.
3. Important: The last time we opened Motley Fool PRO to this same number of investors was in June 2009 -- the service has been closed ever since.

Of course, I would prefer that everybody could join. But remember, David and Jeff will be investing in a wide range of investment vehicles. Which could include lightly traded small-cap top stocks for 2011 and options.

Plus, you will be receiving trade alerts BEFORE the Motley Fool PRO team buys for its own portfolio.

This is the only way you can have the opportunity to get in first.

So I hope you can appreciate why we must keep the membership manageable, even if this means strictly limiting the number of members.

But can you really outperform my Million Dollar Portfolio?

As accomplished as they are, can David Gardner and Jeff Fischer hope to trump a best stock portfolio for 2011 that aspires to return an impressive 15% per year? That's an important question. Just take a look at what earning 15% per year would do for you...

• A 15% return turns a $50,000 portfolio into $406,850 in 15 years...
• A $500,000 portfolio grows to more than $1 million in just 5 years...
• And an $800,000 portfolio pulls in a $120,000 profit a year!

Can these guys really top that? Let's just say this isn't the first time my brother David has taken on a challenge like this.

In March 2002, we launched Motley Fool Stock Advisor together with the challenge to top each other's recommendations to our members.

Since then, the S&P 500 has returned a paltry 3%. My picks are up 41%. David's recommendations are up a stunning 67%!

And that's on average, including profits of 802% on Priceline.com, 1,185% on Quality Systems, and 1,388% on Marvel.

And how about David's returns at Motley Fool Rule Breakers? Including 304% gains on Vertex Pharmaceuticals, 397% on Baidu.com, and 555% on Intuitive Surgical.

Finally, there are the returns David and Jeff Fischer earned readers with their original real-money Rule Breaker portfolio -- 20% per year for a decade, essentially doubling our money every 3.6 years!

At that rate, the Motley Fool PRO portfolio will be worth more than $6 million in 10 years. If you choose to invest just $50,000 to follow along in your own portfolio, you'll have $300,000!

You can see the possibilities...

Especially given your expanded toolbox, an expert money management team, and the secret weapon we've discussed today! And why I'm pleased to send you this invitation today.

Just please don't risk missing out

Frankly, I have no way of knowing how many will respond to this invitation today or how quickly we will reach our enrollment cap. It may take the rest of the week. It may happen today.

I do know that I have heard over and over from Motley Fool members like you who want exposure to more sophisticated instruments and strategies... and more guidance on what to buy and when.

In addition to our waiting list, we have received emails from well in excess of 60,000 additional Fools expressing interest in joining just as soon as the enrollment period begins today. Remember, we can't accept 63,000 new members -- more like one in 20.

For those reasons alone, I foresee spaces being EXTREMELY LIMITED and filling up quickly. When you see the special offer I've worked out for you, I think you'll understand why.

Join today... and save $500!

As I mentioned, Motley Fool PRO costs a bit more than your current Motley Fool newsletter service. That's by design and necessity. And I think you'll agree it's worth every penny -- especially if you join through this invitation today.

When you respond today, I will personally give you a $500 voucher to use today. That's my gift to you for being a loyal and committed member of our community.

And to make your decision even easier, there's something else very dear to my heart that I'd also like you to have with my compliments.

"5 Steps to Finding the NEXT Great Business"

As we've discussed at length today, this truly is a historic market. But there are opportunities out there -- even after the financial meltdown and explosive rally off the bottom.

But the easy money has been made. From here, we have to be selective. And when it comes to our LONG positions, that means shunning the latest fads and dead-cat bounces, and focusing on the world's top businesses.

So how do we find them? I've spent nearly two decades trying to answer that question. Tearing into financial statements... surveying the competitive landscape... interviewing CEOs... and building up a vault of material along the way.

At long last, I think I have the answer. I spent the last three months of 2009 putting that answer down on tape -- and will spend the next few weeks tweaking and improving the final product.

I'd like you to see it just as soon as it's ready -- in a new online video seminar called, "5 Steps to Finding the NEXT Great Business."

Actually, it's much, much more. "5 Steps to Finding the NEXT Great Business" is a five-part multimedia learning experience, complete with my personal video briefings and a wide range of supplemental course materials.

Of course, how you use this new seminar is entirely up to you. You can watch it as entertainment... learn a little something and have some fun... or follow along closely, working through the course materials, honing your skills at identifying the world's next great business!

My new online video seminar is a $499 value itself. And I want you to be the first to have the brand-new edition with my compliments.

Yes, Tom Gardner's new online video seminar and your $500 voucher are my personal gifts to you...

Ok, let's talk price. Ordinarily one year of Motley Fool PRO costs $1,999. That's a considerable investment, but I think it's a fair deal -- considering everything you'll receive and the results I expect David and Jeff to deliver.

And, remember, you can knock $500 right off the top. When you respond to this private invitation, you pay just $1,499 for the full year. And save $500 and get my new online video seminar free! But you'll have to act quickly.

Remember, including our waiting list, we have advance interest from well in excess of 60,000 Fools and counting -- and will promptly close Motley Fool PRO to new members the moment we reach our threshold.

We will resume our waiting list in the event we can open the service again. But there is no guarantee you will ever see this price again.

So, please don't miss out. Motley Fool PRO promises to be a rich and rewarding experience and one that could make a big difference to you and your family for generations.

Of course, you don't risk a penny today

As you know, I'm not a "velvet rope"-type guy. There are few things in life I enjoy less than talking about limited enrollments and application deadlines.

But it's important to me that you understand that Motley Fool PRO is a little different than most Motley Fool services and that you're aware of the realities of the situation.

At the same time, I don't want you to feel rushed. I'd hate for you to jump into something you might think differently about later. Well, here's why that's not going to happen to you...

Simply say yes to this invitation right now. If later tonight you have second thoughts, we'll just fix it. You simply tell me to send your money back, and I'll give you a FULL REFUND -- NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

In fact, you can take a whole month to decide

You can ask for a full refund up until the very last day of your first month. And if you want to quit at any point after that, no worries. I'll gladly send you the full dollar value of the remainder of your membership term.

Of course, if you choose to pass up this unique opportunity today, I'll understand that, too. Motley Fool PRO is not for everybody. We've already been forced to raise the price once, and seats truly are at a premium.

I'll sleep well knowing that you're getting the full attention of your current newsletter advisor and all the benefits of your Motley Fool membership. You're in good hands there.

Still, it would be a shame to hear that you wanted to join and later discovered you've been placed on a waiting list.
