The Easiest Way To Play the Nat Gas Comeback

If you've been keeping an eye on your monthly utility bill, you have probably noticed that it's dropped dramatically.

That's because the price of natural gas has collapsed to a 7-year low.

Here's a chart of the price of natural gas for the past 2 years:

Natural Gas Chart 1

While most commodities have bounced back from their financial crisis lows (like oil, see below), natural gas prices remain below $4 per mcf.

Why?

Natural Gas Chart 2

We now have the answer.

Last week, it was reported that America's natural gas reserves are much larger than previously thought.

That's because of a new technology which has allowed producers to drill for gas in shale rock (like that found in the Barnett Shale). Now, the country's estimated reserves are 35 percent higher than just two years ago and have reached the highest level in 44 years.

The report comes at a time when natural gas is being touted as a way to help reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil and cut emissions that lead to global warming.

According to the report:

The country's estimated total natural gas resources stand at 2,074 trillion cubic feet, an increase of 542 trillion cubic feet from its last report.

The figure includes 238 trillion cubic feet of proven gas reserves as established by the Department of Energy and 1,836 trillion cubic feet of reserves labeled as probable, possible, and speculative.

The report reinforces a study released last year for the natural gas-backed American Clean Skies Foundation. It found the U.S. had 2,247 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves ― a 118-year supply. The U.S. consumes about 22 trillion cubic feet of gas per year, almost all of it produced in the U.S.

Natural gas is used to generate about a fifth of the nation's electricity. It emits about half of the heat-trapping greenhouse gas that coal does. Those who are pushing natural gas production the hardest, like Texas oilman T. Boone Pickens, have promoted natural gas as a transportation fuel that could be used to reduce dependence on foreign oil.

According to Pickens, "I launched the Pickens Plan a year ago to help reduce our dangerous dependence on foreign oil, and using our abundant supply of natural gas as a transition fuel for fleet vehicles and heavy-duty trucks is a key element of that plan. On the same day this report is going out, diesel prices are again on the rise, squeezing the trucking industry. Now more than ever we need to take action to enact energy reform that will immediately reduce oil imports."

Thursday's report said shale now makes up one-third of the 1,836 trillion cubic feet of potential resources, much of it from a re-evaluation of shale gas in the Marcellus basin as well as the mid-continent region, the Gulf coast, and Rocky Mountain areas. Reserves jumped 16 percent overall from the group's last report two years ago, and estimates could go even higher because not all areas that have shale have been tested and explored.

Even though natural gas prices are trading at a 7-year low, I'm buying. It's the one commodity that hasn't rebounded from the sell-off experienced during the economic crisis.

My guess is natural gas prices will increase off their lows, as the surge in reserves was already priced into the market.

An easy way to play the rebound in natural gas is the US Natural Gas ETF (UNG). UNG is an ETF I own in my personal trading account.

Flash Buy These Two Penny Stocks

I'm writing to you today because I have two of the hottest penny stocks I've ever seen sitting on the screen in front of me.

Unfortunately, I can't let everyone on our massive 375,000-name e-mail list in on them. They are simply too small. So here's what I'm going to do…

I will let you sneak onto our more elite Penny Stock Fortunes list. If you are unfamiliar with PSF, then you are missing out. You see, every month we send subscribers our favorite two top penny stock ideas. And, on occasion, we send them flash buy and sell alerts. That's exactly what I did with the two penny stocks I mentioned above.

I sent all our PSF subscribers these two plays, which are already off to a hot start. You aren't too late though. If you take this offer today, you'll be able to get in on them as early as the next five minutes.

To sweeten this deal, I'm even going to send you six more penny stock plays. You don't have to pay a dime for any of this. You do, however, have to read on…

Respond to this letter by midnight on Sunday...

And I'll give you immediate FREE access to six Penny Stock picks that you MUST own in 2009

You might not hear about these companies on the news.

Your broker probably won't tell you about them either.

Some of these companies are "sexy"... some are "boring."

Some are sitting on brand new technologies and scientific breakthroughs.

Others have been doing the same old thing for years... they're just doing it better than anyone else.

But the one thing these six companies do have in common is that they stand to make you a boatload of money in 2009.

They're tiny, well-run companies.

With a solid business plan... making plenty of cash... and each of them is ready to double or triple in size over the next year.

So how do I know about them?

They were selected by my scientific CXS Money-Multiplier formula. A strategy that has been selecting market-beating stocks like these since we first introduced it in 1998.

Over the course of the last 11 years, this strategy has delivered double and triple-digit returns on companies most folks will never even hear about.

What does this mean for you?

It could mean substantial, double, triple, maybe even quadruple-digit penny stock gains if you're one of the lucky people who get on board today!

Just let me hear from you by midnight this Sunday and I'll give you immediate access to all the details you'll need to profit.

Including the details behind the six penny stocks that you must own in 2009 ― FREE!

That's right ― I won't take a single dime from you in return.

When I say free, I really mean free. And I'll tell you exactly how at the end of this letter.

The only way I could sweeten this deal is to pay you to respond.

But you won't need my money. Because with these six stocks, you'll have a chance to rake in plenty of your own in no time!

Just respond to this letter before midnight this Sunday and...

Along with everything you'll need to get in before the opening bell on Monday morning.

Here's how you'll see a chance to double your money in 2009 ― guaranteed!

I personally guarantee that at least one of these six penny stocks will deliver 100% gains (or better!) in 2009... I'll explain it all in just a minute.

How can I be so sure?

Well, two positions, one I recommended in February, the other in mid-March, are already up 30% and 45% as I type this.

But more importantly, right before I sat down to write this letter, I alerted my readers to cash out of another play for 279% gains.

The play?

A tiny little biotech company called Dendreon.

The CXS Money Multiplier strategy put them in my sites and we got in at just $5.35.

I knew it was only a matter of time before good news about their new prostate vaccine would send their share price through the roof.

And then it happened ― Dendreon released the report I was waiting for.

Their share price hit the sky and we walked away with 279% gains.

And, just a few weeks before we cashed out of Dendreon, we had another winner.

This time we took only 38% gains... on a play we'd held for just six weeks.

This time it was a tiny, penny stock company that sells cars.

I'm sure I don't need to tell you what's going on with GM, Chrysler and Ford.

But CarMax is built on solid fundamentals. And my scientific, stock-picking CXS Money Multiplier strategy was dead on.

I'll tell you more about this 5-point, best stock-picking strategy in a minute.

For now, what's important is the outcome.

On January 13th, 2009 I told my readers to pick up shares of CarMax for $7.36.

On Feb. 26, I fired off an urgent alert to cash out at $10.16... that's a 38% gain in just six weeks.

Maybe 38% doesn't sound like much to you. But what if all six of the top stocks to buy I tell you about today banked 38%?

Better still, what if just one of them delivered another 279%?!

That's more than double the promise I've already made to you. A promise that I'm going to sweeten in just a minute.

But there isn't a doubt in my mind that any one of these penny stocks could be the next double or triple-digit gains to hit my portfolio.

I'm talking about tiny little unknowns like:

This dirty storage company that grows by 25% annually...

And it's set to double or triple that growth in 2009!

This "mini bank" that jumped a whopping 122% since 2005...

While banks are closing their windows, this company's revenues are set to soar!

And this "information vault" that has cash flow increases of 29% year over year...

They provide essential services...that means explosive revenues no matter what happens in the markets!

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Using the power of the CXS Money-Multiplier strategy, I'll tell you everything you need to profit from these three penny stocks for 2010.

Plus three more sure-fire market-beaters.

I just need to hear from you by this Sunday. And I'll immediately send you full write-ups on all six companies.

Everything you need to be ready for the opening bell on Monday morning.

How penny stocks are your fastest way to make triple digit profits

If the price of a blue chip like McDonald's or Walmart gains a dollar or two, it really doesn't do much for your wallet.

For example...

On January 13th, shares of McDonalds were going for $59.32 per share.

Let's say the price went up by the same $2.80 as our CarMax play.

A $1,000 investment would have turned into about $1,047.

That's less than $50 in profits. Or a small but respectable 4.7%.

But if you'd put that same $1,000 into our CarMax play, you'd be sitting on $1,380. That's almost 40%.

That's a pretty substantial difference, right?

In other words, a penny stock delivered more than eight times the gains of a blue chip with the same movement in stock price.

That's the massive profit-multiplying power of tiny, unknown top penny stocks to buy...

In fact, $1,000 invested in the right penny stock will almost always deliver more than a blue chip.

For example, if you'd put $1,000 into...

IDM Pharma in February 2008 before it jumped from $.79 to $3.81

Then pulled out your $1,000 investment and rolled the gains into... 

 U.S. Dataworks in August 2008 before it jumped from $.06 to $.41

And then rolled those gains into...

Lannett Company in December 2008 before it jumped from $1.79 to $5.00

You'd have turned $1,000 into $72,791 of pure profits in about 11 months.

And a $5,000 investment could have turned into $363,963.

But even if you'd started with just $200... when December rolled around you could have banked a solid $14,558. That's a whopping 7,179% total gain in just 11 months!

Not too shabby for just three plays that would have amounted to about 30 minutes worth of "work," right?

That's the power of penny stocks!

And remember, whether you'd started with $200 or $20,000 you'd have put your initial investment safely back in your pocket right after your first big winner.

From then on, you'd be playing it safe with pure profits!

As long as there have been top stocks 2010, there have been tiny, off-the-radar penny stocks. And people have used their high-yield potential to make millions!

That's not to suggest it'll take 75 years to build your fortune.

But it DOES show you how much better penny stocks pay you over the long term, just like I showed you how much they can pay you over a couple of months...

But imagine you'd started with $200 instead of just $1.

You'd have a tidy sum of $1,020,800.

And $500 would have you sitting on $2,552,000!

That's why I focus all my energy and research on small and unknown penny stocks.

And the CXS Money-Multiplier strategy makes it easy.

It helps me filter through hundreds of "junk" companies. Weeding out the worthless, no prospect, losers and honing in on a small handful of potential winners.

That's why I'm so sure that the six FREE penny stock picks I'm going to send you today will give you at least one chance to double your money or better in the next twelve months.

And just like those other companies, I selected your six FREE penny stock recommendations with the help of my CXS Money-Multiplier strategy.

That means I've carefully scrutinized each of these companies using my scientific, 5-point grading strategy for picking only the best companies.

Companies with the most potential for making you money.

Does it work?

Well, two of this year's open positions are already up 30% and 45%.

And CarMax just made my readers 38% gains.

If just three of the FREE stock picks I send you follow suit, you'd be sitting on some pretty exciting profits!

That would mean:
$100 in each pick turns into $414

$500 in each turns into $2,070

$1,000 in each turns into $4,140

Any one of these six FREE best stock picks could easily double or triple before the year's over.

It really couldn't be easier.

Respond by midnight this Sunday and I'll immediately send your six FREE penny stock picks.

Using the power of the CXS Money-Multiplier strategy, any one of these penny stocks could mean a chance to double, triple, maybe even quadruple your money.

But I personally guarantee you'll see at least one chance to make 100% gains in the next 12 months.

And I'll tell you how to hold me to that promise in just a minute.

But whether you're a seasoned investor or you've never bought a stock in your life, this report will give you everything you need to know to profit from your six FREE penny stock picks.

I'll tell you which companies to buy... at what price... and when to get out, cash in hand.

In clear, easy-to-understand language that even a 12 year old could follow.

All you have to do is decide if you're ready to pull the trigger and get in on these market-slamming plays.

A few clicks of the mouse, or a five-minute phone call to your broker and you're in.

From there, you can just sit back and relax while I do all the work.

When the time is right, I'll immediately fire off another detailed email ― just like the one you see below ― telling you it's time to call your broker and cash out...

... with money in the bank.

And if you think the potential profits from your six top  penny stock picks sounds good, I'm also going to send two more FREE reports.

FREE report #2: Winning with Penny Stocks details little-known tips and strategies for banking the biggest profits using penny stocks. And...

FREE report #3: The Best Online Discount Brokers Guide will show you the ins and outs of picking a broker you can trust ― what to look for, what questions to ask and the red flags you must beware of before selecting a broker.

You'll also get elite-level access to my model portfolio and open positions. As well as weekly profit updates and alerts.

Plus: in just a minute I'll show you how to get 22 more hot penny stock picks this year ―absolutely RISK FREE.

But first, I want to make one thing perfectly clear.

I'm offering you:

Six hot penny stock picks
Two more FREE reports
Elite-level access to our portfolio and positions
Weekly profit updates and alerts

And you don't have to pay a single dime in return.

I'll explain everything in just a minute. But first, allow me to introduce myself.

So who am I to be making you this kind of deal?

My name is Greg Guenthner. I'm a small-cap analyst working for one of the largest financial publishing companies in the U.S.

I've worked in newsrooms up and down the East Coast, and I bring a reporter's eye and skepticism to every stock I research.

I've never worked on Wall Street. I don't have "friends in high places." And I'm not in anyone's back pocket ― none of the companies I recommend pay me a cent.

That means my research is completely objective.

I don't look for fly-by-night companies that might give your portfolio a tiny boost. I travel whenever necessary, meet with CEOs, pore over financial filings and take part in conference calls.

I want to be sure each company is 100% legit.

I'm talking about hundreds of hour's worth of research, diligence and analysis.

Then I feed all of that information into my proprietary CXS Money Multiplier. A complex formula based on the fundamentals and prospects of the most successful small-cap stocks in history.

It weeds out the losers, revealing only the winners ― the penny stocks with the strongest possible profit potential.

That means most of the companies I investigate will never be discussed outside the walls of my office conference room.

Why?

Because they're not worth my time. And they're certainly not worth yours.

In fact, less than 1% of them will ever stand up to my 5-point, CXS Money-Multiplier strategy.

I have a long-standing history of success.

And my 50,000 daily readers are not only proof.

Their comments and feedback constantly force me to retest my benchmarks ― reaching for higher and higher levels of service and performance.

Sure, I like to think I'm good at what I do.

And on the days I can alert my readers to cash out of a penny stock play with 38%... 279%... or more in profits, I'd venture to say I'm great at what I do.

But I'd be nothing without the power and insight afforded to me by the CXS Money Multiplier strategy.

CXS Money Multiplier reveals market-beating penny stocks and at least one 100% gainer in 2009 guaranteed!

The truth is, just like tiny bursts, rumbles and movements can help scientists predict when a volcano's going to erupt... truly successful penny stock companies give off their own set of bursts and rumbles.

And I've spent years analyzing these companies. Learning how to read the telltale signals that mean a huge breakout is on its way.

That's how my scientific, ironclad CXS Money Multiplier strategy was created.

It's a 5-point grading strategy. And I hold every stock I recommend to its rigorous standards before I even think about writing to you.

Starting with:

CXS Secret #1: Top-Line Growth: This one's simple: I want skyrocketing increases in gross revenue.

I'm not necessarily looking for companies bringing in a ton of money today. Some of the best penny stock opportunities start out small but promise revenues poised to multiply like rabbits. Naturally, better profits will follow as the business grows.

The more a company grows its revenue, the closer I watch it. And when it comes to top stocks for 2010 that trade for less than $4 or $5 a share, it's very possible to see 25%, 35% or even 50% revenue growth over the course of just one year.

CXS Secret #2: Profit Fortress: I want the "unfairly advantaged" companies...

I recommend unique companies that have some kind of "unfair advantage" over the competition.

I also look for companies that have some type of government protection or contract. Or they provide products and services that are essential to a given industry and aren't easily duplicated.

CXS Secret #3: Black Cloud Factor: Is the share price unfairly beat down?

Sometimes, there's a perceived problem weighing down a company's stock. This can help you scoop up shares cheaply.

Maybe they're shedding an old business model, or changing their corporate plan and structure.

This is a "plus" in my book. Because, if the company's underlying business is solid, there's a good chance the share price will go up once Wall Street's uncertainty is resolved.

CXS Secret #4: Profit Catapult: a future event that will super-charge a company's growth.

Small companies don't typically get large news headlines. But a new discovery, patent or major contract can mean big business and even bigger money ― especially for a tiny company.

A profit catapult for a small biotech company might be an FDA approval date for a new drug. Or when a tiny company wins a contract with a big spender.

CXS Secret #5: Business Shock Factor: how revolutionary is a company's product or service?

Think Dell... think Microsoft... think Google.

They used to be tiny unknown companies ― "nobodies." But they came up with products and services that changed the way we do things forever.

I'm looking for companies doing things that no one else is doing... or they're simply doing it better than everyone else.

This could mean a new technology will be patented. Or their products and services are very difficult for other businesses to duplicate. This gives our penny stock pick yet another unfair advantage.

What does this 11 year old, proven CXS Strategy mean to you?

It means I do all the work.

And you don't have to do anything... except decide if you want to get in on each money-making opportunity.

I used the CXS Strategy to pick your six FREE stock recommendations.

And I use it to pick the stocks I write about in each month's issue of my newsletter Penny Stock Fortunes.

Every month, within its pages, my readers learn about two new opportunities to profit from the power of penny stocks.

And in just a minute, I'll show you how to spend the rest of the year profiting right along with them.

Get 22 more market-beating penny stock picks absolutely RISK-FREE

I can't tell you when my next pick will make my readers 38%... or even 279%.

But I can tell you that it does happen...

And more than a handful of the 50,000+ daily Penny Stock Fortunes readers know it to be true.

That's why I want to give you an opportunity to profit right along with them.

An incredible deal that no one in his right mind could pass up!

I want to send you 22 more market-beating stock picks this year ― absolutely RISK FREE.

Here's how it works.

You'll get your first issue right away, with a full write-up of that month's two stock picks. Complete with their CXS Money-Multiplier scores.

You'll also get your FREE detailed report, for new subscribers only, with four more market-beating penny stock picks ― for a total of six FREE stock picks guaranteed to show you at least one 100% winner in 2009.

Complete with detailed, easy-to-follow recommendations on how to get in on each of those plays.

You can read my "call to action" word-for-word to you broker in less than five minutes.

You get everything I've already talked about, including a one-month subscription to Penny Stock Fortunes absolutely FREE.

If you like what you see, do nothing.

And after your FREE 30-day trial ― once you've had a chance to take advantage of everything Penny Stock Fortunes has to offer ― I'll automatically sign you up to receive another 11 issues.

That's a full year of my newsletter Penny Stock Fortunes.

In each issue, I investigate at least two penny stocks ― companies I've vetted through hard-nosed analysis, due diligence and the power of the CXS Money-Multiplier strategy.

That means I'll send you 22 additional penny stock picks over the next 11 months.

Combined with the six you're already getting means...

28 opportunities to double, or even triple your money this year!

Think about this.

If you'd invested just $200 before...

Avistar Communications jumped from $.38 to $1.21...

Pocketed your $200 investment off the top and then rolled your profits into...
Mexco Energy Corporation before it skyrocketed from $4.36 to $49.40...

Then rolled those profits into...

Star Scientific before it shot from $1.67 to $4.03...

Starting with $1,000 these same three plays could have made you $59,525.

And $5,000 could have meant a solid $267,628 in your bank account.

If you'd gotten in at just the right time, any one of these plays would have more than doubled your money.

But, as you can see, when you compound gains like these, the sky's the limit!

Of course, there's always a chance of losses. And not every pick will go through the roof.

But, with 28 opportunities to beat the market, there's a solid chance our winners will far outweigh out losers in 2009.

Unfortunately, my publisher will only let me give away so much for free...

So this is where your free ride comes to an end.

You're already guaranteed:

One FREE month of Penny Stock Fortunes ­with two best stock picks
A FREE report with four more penny stock picks ― that's six total!
Two more FREE reports

The price?

I'll get to the price in just a minute.

Sure, doubling your money in 2009 would be nice.

And I'll send it to you the very moment you start your second month as a Penny Stock Fortunes subscriber.

In FREE Report #4 you'll find five more top stocks poised to double your money in 2009.

Using the powerful stock-picking tactics of the CXS Money-Multiplier strategy, I've carefully selected five more penny stocks set to double your money this year.

Tiny companies that neither your broker nor your local newspaper will ever tell you about.

Market-slamming stock #1: makes pollution control products ― its price could easily double this year. Long before it reached a fair value.

Market-slamming stock #2: specializes in traffic control management. As city populations continue to rise, so will the price of this extremely profitable and undervalued stock.

Market-slamming stock #3: makes over 500 industrial chemicals, is debt free and grew its net income by 362% in 2008. Putting them in a great position for continued growth in 2009

Market-slamming stock #4: has a hand in dozens of every day consumer products. Everything from fertilizer to toothpaste. Their net margins were almost 30% at the end of 2008 and their stock currently trades way below its worth

Market-slamming stock #5: can turn salt water into drinking water cheaper and more efficiently than anyone ― and they've got the patents to prove it. Yet, it's still making quiet moves that can only benefit the earliest investors.

And, just so we're perfectly clear, what I'm saying is:

Stay on for a full year of Penny Stock Fortunes and I guarantee you'll see a chance to double your money, not once, but TWICE.

As I've already shown you, you could turn $200 into more than $10,000 in 12 months or less.

All it would take are the right companies at just the right time...

A few 10-minute phone calls or a few clicks of the mouse...

And just a handful of winning plays over the next year...

I do all the work. I send you everything you need to know. Including recommendations you can read to your broker word-for-word.

I'll be your personal guide to wealth building every step of the way.

All you'll have to do is decide if you want in on each play.

How much is a service like this worth to you?

$1,000 would certainly be fair. Wouldn't it?

And $500 would be an absolute steal!

But money doesn't come easy to any of us these days, so I wouldn't ask for even a fraction of that.

Respond today and you'll get:

Two FREE stock picks in your first month of Penny Stock Fortunes

Here's to record gains in 2009.

Forget About Stock Market Recovery

At the risk of confirming my critics' dumbest charge ― that I am a "doomer" ― the mandate of clarity requires me to ask: to what state of affairs do we expect to recover? If the answer is a return to an economy based on building ever more suburban sprawl, on credit card over-spending, on routine securitized debt shenanigans in banking, and on consistently lying to ourselves about what reality demands of us, then we are a mortally deluded nation. We're done with that, we're beyond that now, we've crossed the frontier and left that all behind, and we'd better get our heads straight about it.

I maintain that there are countless constructive tasks waiting to occupy us on a long national "to do" list for rebuilding a national economy, but they are way different than the ones currently preoccupying government and the mainstream media. The Obama White House, Congress, and The New York Times are hung up on exercises in futility ― "rescuing" banks and insurance companies that cannot be rescued (because they are hopelessly trapped in "black hole" credit default swaps contracts), and re-starting a "consumer" binge that was completely crazy in the first place, based, as it was, on a something-for-nothing standard-of-living.

Meanwhile, if the buzz on the blogosphere is a measure of anything ― and I think it is ― then a new consensus is forming out there about where to start doing things differently. Unfortunately after less than two months in office, President Obama finds himself awkwardly behind-the-curve on this. It begins with the understanding that a general bank rescue is hopeless and, going a step further, that the people who caused the train wreck of "innovative" securities have to be prosecuted. The public's collective voice on this is muted but growing. It has been muted by the general air of blackmail that the banks have used to enthrall policy and opinion ― the "too big to fail" idea ― in effect holding the nation's future for ransom.
     
Last week, New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo hauled Bank of America chief Ken Lewis into his office to explain who, exactly, received an aggregate several billion dollars in bonuses late in 2008 after the US Treasury forked over billions of dollars in TARP money to his bank. That was a good start. Mr. Lewis, being lawyered-up to the max, had the temerity to reply that answering the question would compromise his ability to keep talented people in his employ. For that impertinence alone, Mr. Lewis ought to be dragged over fifteen miles of broken chardonnay bottles behind a GMC Yukon ― but that is not how we do things in American jurisprudence. To be more realistic, a simple indictment would be in order, and then Mr. Lewis can answer this question, and a few others, in the comfort of an air-conditioned courtroom. Ultimately, that might lead to Mr. Lewis becoming the wife of a bodybuilder in one of New York State's houses of correction ― a just outcom e that would go far in rejiggering the nation's expectations about how people in authority ought to behave. And such an outcome might lead to the conviction of many other brides-to-be from the Wall Street debutante pool.
     
Now it has come to light, just last week in the wake of AIG's latest bail-out, that previous AIG bail-out money to the tune of $50 billion was distributed to a set of banks including Goldman Sachs (former employer of then Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and then New York Federal Reserve Governor Tim Geithner), plus Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Mr. Lewis's Bank of America, and a long list of European banks with operations in the USA. Since the transactions took place in New York State, the investigation of these irregularities alone could solve the unemployment problem here if NY Attorney General Cuomo were given a free hand in hiring staff to depose everyone involved ― including the hiring of caterers to bring in coffee and meals for round-the-clock proceedings.

All of this raises another awkward question: where is United States Attorney General Eric Holder in this situation? Surely the federal statutes offer some grounds for inquiring about the misuse of Treasury funds ― and many other issues arising from Wall Street's stupendous orgy of misbehavior. What I'm hearing out in the blogosphere is a growing clamor to call people to account before we are really able to move on to the massive task-list that awaits us in rebuilding our economy.

The bigger question for now is whether any of these authorities will act effectively before the public simply goes apeshit and starts burning down Greenwich, Connecticut. The dangerous shift in public mood is liable to occur with shocking swiftness, in the manner of "phase change," where one moment you see a bewildered bunch of flabby clown-citizens vacuously enraptured by "American Idol," and the next moment they are transformed into a vicious mob hoisting flaming brands to the window treatments of a hedge funder's McMansion. The moment of opportunity for avoiding that outcome is looking sickeningly slim right now.
     
Another thing that President Obama can set into motion anytime ― and pull himself back to the head of the curve of leadership ― is to either by executive order or by proposal to congress, shut down the credit default swap system for a period of time while procedures are drawn up to place all these dubious contracts in a "clearing" market, where the holders of them will have to come clean about what they're sitting on. The lack of this procedure is allowing zombie banks to hold the United States hostage for never-ending bailout ransoms. None of these banks are going to survive another six months anyway, so the basic blackmail motif that the whole money system will collapse if ransoms are not paid is a bluff that has to be called sooner or later in any case. So Mr. Obama might as well get on with it.
     
Once these two matters are dealt with ― an earnest start-up of prosecutions and disabling the credit default swap blackmail racket ― then perhaps a stressed-out and impoverished public might be induced to not go apeshit and instead get on with the mighty task of rebuilding our nation along lines that have a plausible future.

It's awfully quiet out there, Shooters.

In response to Bill Bonner's treatise on Baltimore and Detroit:

"But I guess corporate welfare is OK. Give the banker terrorists all the money they want. After all, they've treated the world to a wonderful crisis. They deserve whatever we can give them. Too bad you were born with the dreaded Conservative gene. But soon modern medicine will be able to block it. Then you may be free to evolve into the full potential that human beings are capable of."

Oh, right, because we've championed corporate welfare repeatedly…wait, no, actually we didn't. In fact, we say that all welfare is bad and we say it several times per week.

I find that people who believe in evolving into full human potential are usually vegan daydreamers…or Canadians…

"I'm a Canadian and reside in the interior of British Columbia (if you even know where that is). The more I read about the beleaguered American state, the more thankful I am to be a Canadian. Study our model, and flirting with socialism isn't the root of all evil as you yanks have been taught to believe. Our greatest fear is the lock step we've embraced with our biggest trading partner to the south, of a fear-based police state coupled with one of the soon to be worthless fiat currencies."

We here at Agora Financial know very well where British Columbia is. We ― and one thousand of our dearest readers ― fly up there every year for the Agora Financial Reserve held in Vancouver. In fact, it's the Symposium's 10th anniversary as well as the 10th anniversary of our flagship e-letter The Daily Reckoning. For details, just call Barb at (800) 926-6575…and tell her the guys at the Whiskey Bar sent you.

We all know the love of money is the root of all evil…and we also know that taking things by force will land you in hell…even if you rationalize your theft…and especially if your intentions are good. Good intentions make for really good asphalt.

The irony of good intentions is that they have the worst results. We refer you to the welfare war zones that used to be our nation's urban powerhouses.

The U.S. is indeed on its way to becoming a full-fledged police state with a worthless fiat currency…and it will be a socialist leader who takes us there. More on this to come (and I expect to hear your opinions on this, Shooters), but in the meantime you may want to take a few precautions.

Quick, Proven Way to Grab Easy Gains

You have less than 24 hours to act on what I'm about to reveal.

So I'll get straight to the point:

When the Fed cut rates just this past Tuesday, you could have made $27,300 or more in pure profit.

How?

By making the six simple Forex moves that I'll show you in this letter — moves that could have made you:

$6,800 playing the Swiss franc

$4,950 betting on the euro

$4,450 going "long" the Aussie dollar

$3,850 buying the Canadian dollar

$2,000 venturing on the Japanese yen

$5,250 riding the British pound up

That's a quick total of $27,300 in pure profits.

Sounds crazy. I know.

But here's proof…

Flash Forex Move #1: Buy the Swiss Franc For A Quick $6,800

On Tuesday morning the Fed cut interest rates, instantly smashing the dollar down.

But did you profit directly from the dollar's slide?

If not, here's how you could have…

You could've made this simple Swiss franc move at 9:30 A.M. Monday morning and…

… you could've more than doubled your dough with pure gains of $6,800.

In just about 72 hours.

Risk: $5,000
72-Hour Total Pure Profit: $6,800

But the Swiss franc wasn't the only world currency that gained ground against the dollar when the Fed lowered rates…

The euro took off, too.

And here's the second move you could have made on Monday morning…

Flash Forex Move #2:Go "Long" Euros for $4,950 in Pure Profit

If you had gone "long" the euro, with only $5,000 at risk, you could have cashed out of that move for a nice $4,950 in pure profits.

In just about three days.

And if you think that Forex trading carries "unlimited" risk, I'll show you how you could make these moves without losing one wink of sleep.

Shoot, you don't even have to open a different brokerage account if you already have one. In less than 45 seconds I'll show you how you could make these plays just as easily as you could buy or sell a stock.

But first let me show you the next Forex play you could've made…

Risk: $5,000
72-Hour Total Pure Profit: $11,750

Flash Forex Move #3: Aussie Dollar Move Plants $4,450 in Your Pocket

I'm sure you see a trend here…

If you had gone long the Aussie dollar on Monday — using this simple Forex move I'll show you in a second — you could've made a short-term profit of a sweet $4,450.

That's nearly a doubler in just days…all from an extremely simple Forex move that you could've played in less than five minutes…

Risk: $5,000
72-Hour Total Pure Profit: $16,200

Three moves — each taking only five minutes — adding up to a total of $16,200 in pure profit into your bank account.

And — we're only halfway through.

Before I show you how the final three moves could have made you $27,300 total, let me quickly reveal the secret behind these urgent profit plays…

How To Grab YOUR SHARE of the $4 Trillion Currency Market

Five months of research…late night phone calls… $54,836 spent…

And Agora Financial has finally figured out the perfect strategy for you to play the currency markets.

You see, nearly $4 trillion changes hands in the currency markets EVERY DAY.

That's over 40 times larger than the stock market.

So we knew extreme profits were being made… but we didn't know the right guy to help you make them.

Until we met Bill Jenkins.

Bill's a currency day trading expert, inside and out.

In fact, in our first meeting he told us that he hasn't bought a stock in over 10 years. He makes all of his trading money from the foreign exchange market.

And he showed us a much easier currency options strategy that could let you make money from the FOREX market while still sleeping easy at night.

He calls it the "everyday Joe's" way of getting your slice of the currency market pie.

And the results from our 664 person live beta-test have been nothing short of amazing.

By using this little known currency options strategy, Bill's already shown his beta testers how to play euro puts for 23% gains, British pound calls for 33% gains and pound calls again for 100% gains in just 24 hours!

Bill's quick gain filled track record is precisely the reason we've decided to launch a brand new research service around his Forex options strategy called Master FX Options Trader.

Come tomorrow at 6 P.M., EST we're going live with Master FX Options Trader.

Readers will pay $1,495 for one year of this new research service…

But for the next 24 hours you'll be able to claim your subscription 100% free… before others will pay thousands of dollars.

I'll explain the details of this offer in a second.

But first let's quickly return to the rest of that $27,300 you could've made using these simple Forex options…

Flash Forex Move #4: In at 13… Out at 23… The Canadian Dollar Could Have Paid You $3,850 in Pure Gains

Next, you could've turned to Canada for a couple thousand dollars more…

You see, buying a call option on the Canadian dollar gives you highly leveraged gains with strictly known risk.

And by doing the exact same thing — going "long" the Canadian dollar with simple call options any broker can place for you — you could've gotten a swift payout of $3,850.

Risk: $5,000
72-Hour Total Pure Profit: $20,050

Flash Forex Move #5:How to Use the Yen to Make $2,000… in 72 hours!

It's the same with using call options on the yen. You could've swiped an effortless $2,000 in just three days.

That brings your 72-hour Forex profits tally to a total of $22,050…but wait, there's still one more…

Let's turn to the final play you could've made earlier this week…

Flash Forex Move #6: You'd Have Seen an Extra $5,250 Playing the Pound

Yup, even the pound could've more than doubled your stake in less than a week.

To be precise, the pound calls could've paid out a tidy $5,250. I don't know about you, but that's a pretty fine profit for such a short amount of time…

I know it sounds astonishing, but YES, you could've made AT LEAST $27,300 in less than 72 hours with Forex options…

And you could've done that with a simple piece of information that you knew anyway — that the dollar would tank after the Fed slashed rates.

Risk: $5,000
72-Hour Total Pure Profit: $27,300

You just needed the right options plays on the right currencies…

And you could've done that with strictly known, strictly controlled risk…you could've even placed those trades in five minutes or less!

The quick, explosive profit potential is the reason why we decided to launch Master FX Options Trader.

The lucky 664 people who've been beta testing the service the past five months have written in to say:

Thanks for another great option call! I got my position on Wednesday at $3 even, per contract, and sold in the last 30 minutes of trading yesterday for $3.90.

30% in 48 hours - nice!

— J. M.

P.S.: I am interested in the FOREX spot market, but that takes some attention that I am not always able to give. The [FOREX] option trades have been easier to handle.

I sold the two Euro $129 puts at $3.80 for a profit of $208.00! Keep this option train going!

— P. G.

I made 27% on my first currency option trade. Even though I kept the size of this first transaction small to gauge your service, I made $325 which was a psychological boost in this current bear market.

— M. M.

When we go live Master FX Options Trader tomorrow at 6 P.M., EST, your fellow readers will be forced to pay $1,495 per year.

But if you respond to this letter quickly enough, it's just one of the of two new research services I'm ready to give away for free. I'll explain how you can get them in just a moment.

Here's the second…

Income on Demand: How to Generate Instant Income From Top Stocks You Already Own

If you're like most readers, you probably want additional ways to generate regular work-free income...

And with Income on Demand, Wayne Burritt's ready to show you how.

With over 28 years of experience navigating through the options market, Wayne's developed a little known option strategy that you could use to:

Safely and immediately boost your regular income — using stocks you already own.

Generate "dividends" on demand from almost any stock.

Significantly reduce your downside on stocks that are falling.

This option strategy is one of my personal favorites.

And even better — I've heard stories about readers who could have used similar strategies to generate up to $200,000 a month in extra work-free income.

For example, you could use this strategy right now to generate an immediate 16.8% "dividend" on demand from Apple.

With this one tiny, five-minute step you could buy 1,000 shares of Apple stock and demand an immediate $15,200 "dividend."

Most investors never use this strategy.

But you'll have the chance for "dividends" on demand with Wayne's soon-to-be-launched Income on Demand.

When we launch Income on Demand later this month, subscribers most likely will have to pay $1,495 per year.

But as long as you're one of the first readers who respond to this letter, you'll also receive this service for free, for life.

Why am I willing to give away these brand new services for free? And why to only the first people who respond?

Allow me to introduce the Agora Financial Reserve.

A Hushed and Private Invitation FOR YOUR EYES ONLY. . .

The Agora Financial Reserve is the most intimate, elite inner circle out of our 135,000 paid subscribers.

The Reserve is simple: You get every single newsletter, "VIP" stock research service, and fast acting options research service Agora Financial currently publishes for as long as we publish them.*

You also get almost every single product we launch in the future. You get almost every single special research report we write. For as long as we publish them — or for as long as you want.

*With the exception of Bulletin Board Elite and The Richebächer Letter.

And you get all of that — for life — for less than the cost of one year of all of those services.

What newsletters and research services am I talking about?

You'll receive these investment research newsletters: the world-famous Outstanding Investments, Capital & Crisis, Easy Money Options, Penny Stock Fortunes, and our soon to be launched Lifetime Income Report.

On top of that you'll get our high-end VIP "special opportunity" monthly stock research services: Energy & Scarcity Investor, Mayer's Special Situations and Breakthrough Technology Alert.

You'll get our fast-paced, intensely profitable option research services delivered direct to your e-mail inbox: Resource Trader Alert, Options Hotline, Gold & Options Trader, Strategic Short Report…

And you get both of the brand new, high priced services I just told you about: Master FX Options Trader and Income on Demand.

That's not all, of course — Agora Financial has unveiled some insanely beneficial services exclusively for Reserve Members...

First and foremost, we have created the "World Travel to Profits" program. We scour our worldwide network of insider contacts looking for under-the-radar investment opportunities, in everything from local stocks to real estate. Up until now, whenever our analysts came across one of these deals, we had to sweep it under the rug. They were just too small to share them with a large audience.

Those tiny, yet possibly highly profitable opportunities, were some of our main motivations for creating the Reserve service — so sophisticated individuals could take advantage of the same microscopic, under-the-radar international opportunities that we always found intriguing, but never had a small, intimate enough forum to release them to...

And there's one benefit to the Reserve that's entirely new to the independent financial publishing industry... a benefit all of our editors agreed on when we formulated the Reserve.

This advantage is called the Legacy Program — but before I tell you more, let me make it perfectly clear why I'm honored to invite you to become an Agora Financial Reserve Member today.

THIS INVITATION WILL NOT BE SENT TO THE PUBLIC

There are two strict reasons why we will send this invitation only to loyal readers like you.

First, because I can reward only people who are already familiar with our research with these two brand new $1,495 services.

Second, because there are so few Reserve Memberships available, the invitation can go to only a dedicated Agora Financial reader like yourself.

For that reason, I respectfully ask that you do not forward this e-mail to anyone else.

But exactly how few Reserve Members can we accept?

** Invitation Limited to the First 1% of Existing Readers**

Only one in 100 of existing Agora Financial readers may join... If all of our readers knocked on the door, 99% of them would have to be turned away!

It's not that we're being snooty or unfair. We simply know that some of the profit opportunities that we will research and present to you are too small and sensitive for too many people to know about.

That's why we picked the 1% threshold — we want to see what will happen when a small group of serious individuals gets hold of nearly every single profit opportunity that we know of.

Exclusive Benefits That 99% of Our Readers Cannot — and Will Not — Ever Profit From

We must limit the available seats in the Reserve to 1% of our readership. Membership is first come, first served.

If we do eventually permit more folks into the Reserve, the price could go up by as much as $2,000.

And, that's a BIG "if." We may never extend another invitation. It depends 100% on how the Reserve Members' interest affects these infinitesimal underground opportunities...

There are two unbreachable limits placed on this invitation.

I just told you about the 1% limit. But we also have a limit in time.

This application period for new Agora Financial Reserve Members expires immediately on midnight, Jan. 1, 2009.

We were compelled to do that so we have a clear cutoff point to see how these new services perform with so many new members.

But please don't make the mistake of thinking you can wait until Jan. 1.

I fully expect to fill our 1% limit long before that day rolls around. But let's quickly return to that lifetime research that I want to send you...

A Lifetime of Profitable Research. . .For Less Than the Cost of Just One Year!

You'll have a lifetime of our fast-paced trading research services, stock recommendation newsletters and other independent research — on top of the various new services and reports that we will unveil in the future — for far less than the normal price you'd pay for one single year.

You'll benefit from far more than our world-class newsletters and trading research services, though.

You'll be the first potential beneficiary of the exclusive "hush-hush" opportunities that, before now, were far too small and sophisticated to share with a large group of people. That's one of the main reasons we decided to hit the ground running on the Agora Financial Reserve — we want to introduce you to tiny, unknown opportunities.

Opportunities that we hear whispered from our extensive network of insiders. Previously invisible opportunities that we unearth with our own research.

(The invitation I'm extending, however, can last for far longer than a lifetime, as I will show you in one moment.)

First, I'd like to introduce you to some of the specific benefits entitled to Reserve Members:

You Get All of Option Plays for Free for Life. . .

When you accept this charter invitation to the Reserve, you will immediately lock into each and every one of our aggressive and profitable option trading research services.

Services that have recently brought in these gains: 100% on British Pound calls in less than 48 hours, 195% from sugar calls in only 20 days, 173% in 104 days on Systemax puts, 1,011% on UPS calls after holding for just over four weeks and 611% in three months from Newmont Mining...

Resource Trader Alert: 15 of 17 in 2008, Average 2008 Gain is 91%!

Resource Trader Alert uses our addiction to commodities to help you benefit from the world of commodity options.

And the publication has one of the best records that I've seen after 18 years of independent investment research publishing.

Since 2005, 82% of the total number of closed commodity options recommended in Resource Trader Alert ended up winners. And over that same time we've averaged 63% per recommended play, including losers.

That's one heckuva streak, and it shows signs of only continuing...

So far in 2008 we're 15 of 17... with an amazing average gain of 91%!

Here are some of the recent gains from Resource Trader Alert's commodity options recommendations:

108% on Feb. 12 2008, from sugar calls

195% on Feb. 26 2008, from sugar calls

220% on Feb. 28 2008, from a silver spread

107% on April 17 2008, from a gold spread

114% on June 25 2008, from a soybean spread

189% on June 26 2008, from a corn spread

107% on July 14 2008, from a gold spread

186% on Sept. 22 2008, from the short leg of a bull gold call spread.

You know that oil and gasoline prices have shot steadily up. And you can be sure Resource Trader Alert will be there to deliver on some aggressive gains on crude and gas options. In the past, our readers have seen:

Crude oil calls held for 20 days, for 119%

Unleaded gas calls held for one month, for 17%

Crude oil puts held for three weeks, for 39%

Crude oil spread held for just over three weeks, for 27%.

Resource Trader Alert's record shines just as impressively outside of the oil and gas market, though.

We rode corn straight up in late '07, when our recommended corn call soared 74% skyward in 19 days. Even at this obscene level of gain, we still thought corn would shoot up some more — so we recommended that our readers sell just half of their position.

Exactly 49 days later, we recommended that our readers sell the second half. Lucky them, bagging 219% on that second half of their corn calls in just over two months.

Please wait. Here are some more:

400% on silver calls

241% on wheat calls

270% in 30 days from a simple coffee call

120% from live cattle (yup, that's right — from options on 1,000
head of cattle!)

154% in 34 days from an easy-to-follow cotton call.

Resource Trader Alert is your way to learn how to play the quick, strong price changes in commodities. And — it's easy. You can do it from home, with a multitude of brokers, just like buying top stocks for 2010.

I bought 3 silver spreads...My calculations show a gain of about 1500% from my initial price. My two best current holdings...are cocoa, up 335% and wheat, up 320%.

So here's a brief history. I subscribed to RTA in Dec '05 and opened a brokerage acct with $15,000. I had absolutely no knowledge about commodities... Since opening the acct I've withdrawn $30,000 and the account value as of today is over $123,000. So as of now I'm up over 10x. Money isn't everything, but all things being equal, I'd rather have some than not. I really appreciate the guidance you given me. I hope this note puts a smile on your face. Thanks.

— Greg

Hi,

I opened my RTA account with $2000... Added $5000 more... Account value today is ~$34,000.

Options Hotline:  How a Humble Options Master Crushed the Million Dollar Milestone

Options Hotline is one of the oldest options services in America. 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of Paul Sarnoff creating the service.

A friend of the legendary Hunt brothers, Paul became famous as one of the first to teach investors how to use stock options in the '60s. In 1989, Paul launched Options Hotline, delivering his subscribers gains for 10 years...

In October 1999, Steve Sarnoff took the service over from his father and mentor. Steve studied options analysis alongside his dad for over a decade — and gave the system a couple of proprietary tweaks of his own.

Here's how it works...

Each week — on Sunday night — Steve sends out the single best option play for the week. It takes less than five minutes to read his entire e-mail. And his recommendations could make you a heap of dough...

Just how much?

I'll let his track record explain... please just take a look at his performance over the last nine years... and how you could've broken the million-dollar milestone with him. (Please remember that average gain accounts for winners AND losers...)

Now how is it that Steve can claim such a stellar achievement? Simple. Steve recommends opening positions and gives a general strategy to help readers determine a good closing point, but readers must use their own judgment in exiting a position. Because of this, we calculate Steve's previous track record based on the highest point each of his actionable recommendations hits after he alerts his readers.

That stellar long-term track record makes it easier to see how Steve's the only one I know who has broken the coveted "Million-Dollar Gains Milestone."

After Steve recommended UPS calls that could have made as much as 1,011% gains for his readers, he broke right through the million-dollar mark.

If you had plugged $5,000 into Steve's first trade when he took over from his father... plugged that same amount into every single one of his recommendation since that time, and ridden each one to its highest possible point, you would have over a million dollars in profits! That's unbeatable — passing the million-dollar milestone in a little over five years...

Bought SMH LH... Closed today up 75% in a week. Good Call. Appreciate it.

— Jim Mahoney

I wanted to drop you a quick note of "thanks" for using the power of options helping me pay for Christmas this year. Let me explain...

I am an Agora Financial Reserve Member and used Steve Sarnoff's recommendation this week to net $900 in about in 3 hours with less than 5 minutes of my time...Not bad for 5 minutes of "work."

Thanks again for the great services you provide and have a very happy Holiday season!!!

— Warmest regards, Paul G.

Normally, Options Hotline subscribers pay $995 per year. As a Reserve Member, you pay nothing.

Strategic Short Report:  Your Way to Profit As the Real Estate Bubble Implodes

Now, you know that the markets related to housing — specifically, subprime mortgages — shoot lower every day.

And Dan Amoss has taken advantage of that trend by playing put options on subprime mortgage insurer MGIC.

Let's take a look at a company Dan had his eye on. Here's the chart for MGIC's stock price:

71% seems like a big drop for MGIC stock over just nine months, doesn't it? But even that 71% move paled in comparison with the move that an option play on that same stock made...

Brave investors who got in and out at the right time could've swiped 336% gains from a play that used put options as leverage.

That works out to a profitable move of almost four times the negative move the share price suffered. Nice little way to make some lemonade while avoiding the lemon!

But Dan doesn't focus in on just housing stocks. He also wrote up a Whiskey & Gunpowder article that pointed out the problems with Hansen, the hyped energy drink and soda company.

He said that intrepid readers should short Hansen. And they could've made as much as 27.4% in six days...

"27.4% in 6 days...Thanks, Dan!"

Many thanks for Dan Amoss' June 26 analysis and discussion of Hansen Natural. I felt the market was trending down, and the stock was inflated...Based on this and Dan's analysis, I shorted the stock Aug. 1 at $45.50 and covered the short sale [on Aug. 7] at $33.

Thanks so much!

— R. R.

Dan's got a knack for finding companies that sell for far more than what they're worth. So he decided to take his expertise in playing put options and shorting top stocks investment to launch a small research service called Strategic Short Report.

And in just the few months that we've been publishing the service, Dan's readers have had the chance to see some nice gains...

Like the 173% that they could have made after Dan recommended put options on Systemax — an overly hyped online retailer of computer hardware and off-brand PCs...

The 97% they booked in a few short months with put options on TCF Financial — a troubled Midwestern mortgage-heavy bank...

Or the whopping 461% they could have made by following Dan's recommendation to buy and sell put options on Lehman Brothers!

All in all Dan's averaging 92% across all of his 16 closed positions. And that includes the rare losing play.

But what about open positions?

All five of his current open positions are positive. And he's sitting on an average gain of 58%.

No wonder his subscribers have written in to say:

I just sold 10 contracts of LESMH for $26.45 which I purchased for $4.47 for a total gain $21,980!! This is very exciting stuff...keep em coming like that if you can. I really appreciate your hard work, in depth research and thorough detailed coverage. Awesome trade Dan! You are the man!

— D. Y.

I just wanted to thank Dan Amoss for the Strategic Short Report letter. After recently closing out my second half of the Lehman put, I have a scored a personal rate of return of 342%!!!! This is in addition to the average of 72% so far on his other recommendations.

Thanks so much, Dan. This one newsletter has actually paid for my entire membership fee for the reserve membership.

If you are ever in Medford, Oregon. Look me up. Dinner is on me.

— P. B., MD

As a Lehman Alumni I was hesitant to put this one on... a cool $200,000 profit later I am a Strategic Short Report disciple!

Spectacular call on Lehman. Keep 'em coming

— Wil

13 of 16 plays in 2008

92% average gain over all plays, including losers

Dan's stellar performance was precisely the reason behind my recent decision to double the price of his research service.

Strategic Short Report subscribers used to pay $995 per year for Dan's research...

... But now they're paying $1,995.

As a Reserve Member, you pay nothing for life.

Gold & Options Trader:  How to Protect Your Wealth From the Dollar's Coming Collapse. . . and Ride the Historic Gold Bull Market for Obscene Profit Potential

You know that gold's been on an absolute tear over the last few years. In fact, it shot from $300 to its recent high of $1,033. That's a climb of 244%.

And the reasons behind gold's run-up seem obvious:

Rampant government money printing (especially in the U.S.)

Global strife boosts fear and uncertainty

Worldwide demand for real commodity wealth, not credit or phantom finance profits.

It's no wonder gold — the only trusted, true haven for wealth and future prosperity — has become more desired. And it will become only more dearer as the years pass.

This inescapable fact has led us to launch a new research service dedicated specifically to gold gains.

Now, members of many of our services have had the opportunity to take great gold gains. Specifically, readers of Outstanding Investments. And our options services Resource Trader Alert and Options Hotline have played many gold futures and stocks options for more speculative gains.

But the historic gold bull has compelled us to devote an entire newsletter to gold...it's titled the Gold & Options Trader.

Gold & Options Trader has two simple missions.

First, it seeks to show you gains on the best gold stocks in the world. You might get a recommendation on a junior mining company or a microcap exploration and production company.

And second, Gold & Options Trader will play options on gold stocks. That way you can apply leverage to normal moves in share price. This can give you a quicker, larger, more speculative winner.

You'll be profiting from gold's long trend upward, and simultaneously, learn how to hedge your portfolio against short-term corrections...

And we couldn't have found a better guy to man Gold & Options Trader than Ed Bugos. Ed comes straight from the Wall Street of the gold market — Vancouver's Howe Street.

During the nasty commodity bear market in the '90s, Ed still guided his clients to gold profits in Argentina Gold and Arequipa. The massive Barrick Gold ended up buying both companies.

He also founded the Bugos Gold Stock Index, which included no more than 10 stocks anytime. From Dec. 2001-May 2006, his index gained 200%, averaging 30% compounded annual gains.

And he's showing no signs of slowing down that incredible pace.

Normally, Gold & Options Trader subscribers pay $1,495 per year. As a Reserve Member, you pay nothing for life.

You'll also get both new services I told you about earlier: Income on Demand and Master FX Options Trader.

As an Agora Financial Reserve Member, you'll receive the six option trading research services we just discussed for free. Added up, those six services are worth $8,970 per year.

You'll Get our "VIP" Stock Research Services, Too

So you've heard about how you can use our wide variety of speculative option plays to boost your wealth...

But what about the explosive stock gains that happen from mergers, buyouts, special dividends, spinoffs, and "special opportunity" stocks that are too small to recommend to tens of thousands of readers?

Well, we've got those covered, too.

As an Agora Financial Reserve Member you're guaranteed to receive these high-end, VIP "special opportunity" monthly stock research services:

Mayer's Special Situations:  Small Explosive "Special Situation" Plays

Each month Agora Financial's managing editor, Chris Mayer, applies his due diligence to small "special situation" companies.

In this way, you can combine strictly lowered risk with speculative opportunities.

Chris sends these "safe speculations" out to a small circle of readers with his new research service, Mayer's Special Situations.

Let's take a quick snapshot of the two-year-old service's track record:

13 out of the 21 closed positions have gone up.

The average gain over those closed positions was 38%, including the losers.

Biggest gainers: 194% on T-3 Energy Services... 177% on Titan Intl....122% on Gorman-Rupp Co.... and 100% on Lindsay Manufacturing.

And, as far as open gains go, as of November 19 his readers are up:

28% from a tiny pharmaceutical spin-off

36% on a company that's helping China solve its water crisis

54% on water pump manufacture.

This excellent short-term track record has made some of Mayer's Special Situations readers quite happy:

Your Libbey recommendation alone just paid for my Acapulco vacation. THANKS! :-) Your reports are very professional without being stuffy. I look forward to your e-mail!

— E. Culpepper

I joined the Agora Financial Reserve when it was very first launched.

I manage my own accounts and my father's very large IRA for him. I have purchased about 90% of the top stocks to buy you have recommended in MSS and couldn't be happier with the returns.

I love your strategy and reasons for picking a stock and plan to stick with you as long as possible. I only hope you stay for many years to come. I hate the thought of finding out you left to do something else.

Thanks so much for your excellent research and the great job you are doing. My experience with MSS has been exactly what I was hoping for when I joined the Reserve.

— Brad B.

Energy & Scarcity Investor:  How You Can Harness Slow Volcano Power" to Ride California's Government-Mandated Green Power Boom

Byron King lives and breathes natural resources.

Each month his contacts and research come up with dozens of overlooked opportunities. Some of these finds make their way into the pages of Byron's Outstanding Investments. But the ones with the best profit potential are micro caps — just too speculative to send out to a wide audience.

That's why Byron launched an elite research service called Energy & Scarcity Investor, that taps into these tiny resource opportunities. For proof of the concept behind this new service, here are some previous winners in the realm of tiny resource stocks just like the ones Energy & Scarcity Investor focuses on:

214% on Pan Orient Energy

211% on Ur Energy

1,062% on Virginia Mines

958% on Seabridge Gold

1,076% on Minefinders

732% on Pan American Silver

208% on Compass Minerals

2,568% on Silvercorp

700% on Almaden Resources

450% on Antares Minerals

1,258% on Bear Creek Mining

4,500% on Brett Resources

1,236% on Dynasty Metals

2,860% on Denison Mines

428% on Cirrus Energy

1,376% on Enexco.

But now Byron has found an exciting discovery that could make those gains seem like small potatoes.

You see, California's Senate has mandated that the state must derive 20% of its electricity from renewable sources by December 2010.

Byron says that "Slow Volcano Power" is the renewable energy source best suited to provide California's huge population with electricity.

And he's recommended five of the smallest pure plays completely devoted to the little-known green energy source "Slow Volcano Power."

You can immediately get all the information you need on those five stellar "Slow Volcano Power" plays when you accept your Reserve invitation.

Breakthrough Technology Alert: Thinking — and Profiting — Like a Venture Capitalist

Imagine buying into Microsoft at the venture capitalist stage... before it unveiled Windows. Imagine getting into Google on the bottom floor, with the first round of investors.

Those two companies' innovations changed the world, and Patrick Cox continually digs for the next revolutionary companies — the Googles and Microsofts of tomorrow.

Breakthrough Technology Alert uncovers the small, unknown companies on the verge of such transformational discoveries.

Patrick sniffs around like a true venture capitalist, scanning for the least-known opportunities before they take off, talking with their CEOs and drilling down the most exciting — and potentially, most profitable — opportunities.

In the past, we've taken gains like 371% on PowerChannel Inc., 288% on Cray Inc., 244% on Nuance Communications and 321% on Anatolia Minerals.

I am a new subscriber and I like the approach you take and the companies you follow. It's refreshing being out of the mainstream stocks with their massive float. Knock on wood - the investments I've made with your picks are beyond what I had hoped for...Again, thanks for your help and your insight into these companies.

— J. Parker

When I first subscribed I was not an experienced investor, but on the past four months' journey, [Breakthrough Technology Alert] has helped me to widen my exposure to different forms of investing. I'm also impressed with your due diligence on new stocks you recommend.

— M. Sorensen

Normally, Breakthrough Technology Alert subscribers pay $995 per year. As a Reserve Member, you pay nothing.

Once again, as an Agora Financial Reserve Member, you'll receive these three "VIP" Special Opportunities Stock Research services for free. Added up, those three services are worth $3,485 per year.

Your one-time Reserve entrance fee and miniscule annual maintenance fee will secure all of those stellar services for life.

And I repeat — you get a lifetime of super-profitable options recommendations as well for less than a one-year subscription at their regular price. That alone makes the Agora Financial Reserve a good bargain.

On top of all this, as a Reserve Member, you will receive a free lifetime subscription to each one of our five profitable research newsletters.

You Get All of Our Finest Stock Research Newsletters for Free. . . for Life. . .

Your status as a Reserve Member will deliver you these benefits:

Outstanding Investments: The #1 Ranked Newsletter Over THREE Five-Year Periods

Byron King's Outstanding Investments was independently rated by Mark Hulbert as the top-performing newsletter in the world.

That's an amazingly high honor, considering that as of last year Hulbert tracks 127 different investment newsletters.

Devoted to natural resource stocks for 2010 since its inception, Outstanding Investments has delivered some gains that might make you bashful if you told anyone that you grabbed them...

And as you know, oil and oil related stocks have been on a huge tear lately. So have coal, steel, uranium, timber, shipping and natural gas companies. And readers of Outstanding Investments had a front-row seat for riding the global hunger for raw materials.

Like these recent winners: 182% from Talisman Energy, 332% from Glamis Gold, 118% on Anglo-American PLC, 174% on PetroChina, 147% on BG Group, 177% on Coeur d'Alene Mines, and 228% on Niko Resources.

Catching hold of the massive global energy bull, this year, Outstanding Investments has returned an average of 25% on its closed positions.

And this isn't a fluke, either. Last year, Outstanding Investments averaged 79% gains from its closed resource stock recommendations.

And as for open positions, we have 272% on Suncor, 194% on American Century Global Gold, 103% on Valero, and 143% on EnCana.

I almost "bailed out" awhile ago when gold and oil took a dip, but followed your recommendation and stayed with it. I'm up 28% with only your recommendations in my portfolio. Keep up the good work.

— W. Burger

You have to hand it to...Outstanding Investments. I have subscribed to many investment and trading services and dropped a lot of the poorly performing ones. But not RTA or OI...Perhaps a Nobel Prize for Resource Trading should be awarded.

— D. Davidson

2008 closed positions average including losers: 25%

Normally, Outstanding Investments subscribers pay $99 per year. As a Reserve Member, you pay nothing for life.

Capital & Crisis: 36% From the Safest Stocks on the Street

Chris Mayer's unswerving devotion to conservative value investing has led him to recommend 29 out of 38 winners in Capital & Crisis. That's right — he's batting a nearly perfect 76%.

What's his secret? Simple. He'll buy a stock for only less than it's worth. And that seems to work just fine since — over the course of 38 closed recommendations — his positions gained 36% on average.

What about his open positions?

44% on an Asian telecommunications company.

12% on a leading manufacturer of welded steel pipes.

With Capital & Crisis, you can draw in some nice gains from the safest stocks on the Street...

Yes - very good gains, such as: Horizon — $4,109... Chiquita Brands — $5,400... Agrium - $5,900... Ameriprise - $6,100... Intrawest - $10,000. I am currently using the proceeds to build up the retirement fund. I think Capital & Crisis is the best investment advisory that I have either read about or used. My only recommendation — don't do anything different.

— W. McMillan

Chris, you're just about the best writer there is, a great analyst while still enjoyable to read. It's a treat for my retirement portfolio to watch your theories play out. I can't give you a specific number but it's approximately 20%, after investing 5K in each selection. I'm still recovering from the tech meltdown 2000-2002, thank you so much for helping to make it happen.

— D. Ricci

Penny Stock Fortunes: Imagine Getting Rich

The largest, quickest gains on Wall Street usually come from the unknown and sometimes feared segment of stocks priced under $10...The infamous "penny stocks."

But, as Greg Guenthner, editor of Penny Stock Fortunes explains, "Some of the biggest names in Wall Street history, like Tweedy, Browne; Ben Graham and John Templeton made their massive fortunes in the penny stocks arena. You won't read much about these under-the-radar opportunities in The Wall Street Journal, Investor's Business Daily or Barron's."

But you will read about them in Penny Stock Fortunes.

Here are some past gains from closed-out Penny Stock Fortunes recommendations: 82% in only 48 days from First Cash Financial, 109% from Vallco Energy, and 103% from Forward Industries.

Normally, Penny Stock Fortunes subscribers pay $59 per year. As a Reserve Member, you pay nothing.

Easy Money Options: How to Receive an MBA-style Stock Option Education. . . for FREE

You've already seen how options can quickly bring your portfolio 100–500% profits...

But what if you've never used options before and don't know how to get started? I've got the perfect solution for you...

In Wayne Burritt's letter, Easy Money Options, he'll deliver you an options education that you can't get anywhere else.

Each month, he'll teach you an "inside tip." Then he'll simply and easily provide you with directions on how to take advantage of the best options plays on the market right now.

And although the service is just under a year old, I'm proud to announce that Wayne's already scored gains of 89% on Proctor & Gamble calls and an explosive 150% and 169% on S&P 500 Depository Receipts November 2008 puts.

Here's what his subscribers have already written in to say:

As a novice to the option world, you have taught me a good deal. All your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. In each issue you set out the topics to be covered and then show us step by step on how to research different options... most important of all the newsletters contained a wealth of information!

— D. L.

Easiest money I have ever made! Over 85% gains in just 5 trading days! You lay everything out and make it simple. I have tried other options services before, but they usually did not provide sell signals so you were left to the whims of the market and sometimes lost gains. I prefer your conservative approach to take gains off the table. Keep up the good work!

— Thanks,
G. S.

Today I sold the XLFXR for $1446.51 for a profit of $555.01. I sold SWGXQ for $2502.51 for a profit of $1599.01. So my profit in a week from these two transactions was $2154.02.

I am ever so grateful for your excellent recommendations!

— Yours truly
C. C.

Through this service, you'll quickly learn how fun and profitable stock options can be!

Easy Money Options normally costs $99 per year. As a Reserve Member, it's yours FREE for life.

Lifetime Income Report:  How to Let the World's Best Companies Fund Your Retirement

Imagine having one of the world's top companies fund your retirement even though you never worked for them a day in your life...

Now imagine that your retirement income isn't limited to just that one company.

You can have five, six, even 10 of the world's best companies pay you weekly checks.

Without working a single second for them.

How?

Buy buying shares in companies that have been proven to send out growing dividend payments.

And that's exactly what editor Jim Nelson will show you how to do in his new research service, the Lifetime Income Report.

Each month he'll focus on finding you the best income paying stock on the market. After a year, you could be receiving weekly checks of $2,243, $5,465, or $11,000. That's the best part. You decide how much you want to be paid.

When we launch Lifetime Income Report later this month, new subscribers will have to pay $99 per year. As a Reserve Member, it's yours FREE for life.

Added up, all five of Agora Financial's world-class, independent and profitable newsletters cost $455 per year.

But if you do what's best — by accepting this invitation to the Reserve — you'll get those newsletters for free for the rest of your life. As a Reserve Member, you'll save $455 per year from the newsletters alone. That comes out to $2,275 in savings every five years... and $4,550 saved over the next decade...

If you are serious and quick enough to be that one in a 100 that can enter the Reserve... if you decide to become a member in time, you will get all of those newsletters for free for life.

But that's not nearly the last in the heap of benefits your Reserve status will confer upon you...

Introducing the Agora Financial Focus List: Exclusively for Reserve Members

We've created something solely for Reserve Members that may be the most valuable benefit we've discussed yet... it's called the Agora Financial Focus List.

As you can see, Agora Financial publishes a steep deluge of investment ideas. Ideas that cover the entire spectrum of stock investment possibilities...from value investing to resources and hard assets to emerging technology companies to penny stocks...

You might be wondering: "That could end up being too many stock plays. If I don't want to go for all of them, how would I pick the best ones?"

We realize that it may be difficult to thoroughly go over and familiarize yourself with every single recommendation we offer you.

That's why each of our editors will handpick a small portion of their recommended stock plays to add to the Agora Financial Focus List. This portfolio will never have more than 20 stocks in it at one time, so it will be a breeze to use and understand.

The Focus List's recommendations will come from across all of the newsletters, directly from the editors themselves. Here's how it works:

Once per quarter, the editors will personally take a look at their contributions to the Focus List portfolio.

They will distill the absolute best stocks to buy from their already superlative track records — and, essentially, manage a unique, world-class portfolio for a small group of elite Reserve Members. That's pretty remarkable, don't you think?

We've conservatively valued this unique benefit at $995 per year.

As a Reserve Member, you get the Focus List for free for life.

Announcing the Legacy Program. . . and Your Free "Enduring Wealth Library"

We're not content to "merely" publish the most independent — and highly profitable — stock research newsletters and options services in the industry. Agora Financial has decided to jump right into the hitherto unknown world of book publishing.

You may know of The New York Times and Amazon.com best-sellers written by
long-time Agora Financial contributors like Chris Mayer, Bill Bonner, and me.

As a Reserve Member, you're entitled to copies of these books just after they're released... for free, of course.

All you do is give us a call or shoot us an e-mail and we'll FedEx you a copy.

As I said, you can find those books at any bookseller — but we'll send them to you FREE of charge. I call this series of books the "Enduring Wealth Library."

And there's one other special addition to this series. It's called Seeds of Wealth...

Seeds of Wealth is probably the most unique — and valuable — book I have seen come across my desk in my 18 years in financial publishing.

Seeds of Wealth is a wealth-building manual that helps you help your children become wealthy. Wealthy by their own efforts... It's actually quite easy for your child (or grandchild) to build a whopping $250,000 war chest by age 18 just with rigorous saving and the power of compound interest.

And as the Agora Financial editors and I thought about the benefits to your children and grandchildren that the Seeds of Wealth program can bestow, we came up with what could be the most powerful benefit to your Reserve Membership — the Agora Financial Legacy Program...

You Can Pass Your Reserve Membership on to Any Family Member of Your Choice!

As the Agora Financial team put the last round of updates into the Seeds of Wealth program a flash of brilliance struck someone — "Hey, if we're trying to help future generations build a life of comfortable affluence with Seeds of Wealth, shouldn't we allow our Reserve Members to pass on their Reserve Member status to their children?"

We all agreed that it was a great idea. So we instituted the Agora Financial Legacy Program, which allows a Reserve Member to pass membership over to a family member.

Of course, that family member is entitled to free receipt of every single Reserve service, newsletter, conference, book, and special report that the Reserve ever publishes...

But there's plenty more to the Reserve Membership benefits than all of the newsletters, options services, the Enduring Wealth Library and Legacy Program. In fact, we've come to what may very well be my personal favorite part of the Reserve...

Only for Reserve Members: Free Lifetime Enrollment in the Agora Financial "World Travel to Profits" Program

We fully realize that some sophisticated and successful investors want to do more with their time than steadily and aggressively grow their wealth.

At Agora Financial, we strive to provide you with the most thorough independent research that you can get. This thoroughness leads us to travel around the globe to find the next explosive opportunity. And since we have footholds and affiliate offices around the world, we often travel abroad to visit the companies and countries we research.

After a while, we developed a love for travel itself, without regard to the value it adds to our research. So when we came together and created the Reserve, we wanted to share the value that international (and domestic) travel has, for its own sake...

Let me quickly explain...

Your Personal Invitation to the Annual Agora Financial Reserve Summit. . .

As a Reserve Member, you will be exclusively invited to attend the yearly Summit meeting. The Summit is a private conference open only to Reserve Members.

Our editors will play host to you. They will speak to Reserve Members on the most exclusive of opportunities — those strictly limited to small groups. Intriguing, fun, and sometimes out-of-the-ordinary opportunities that can yield impressive gains.

And it's all included FREE with your Reserve Membership.

All you have to do is make it out to the Summit site and pay for lodging. We'll cover the conference, refreshments and meals.

In the past we've held our Reserve Summits in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia.

And future Summits could take place anywhere around the world where Agora Financial has a firm foothold — places like Paris; London; Waterford, Ireland; the Pacific coast of Nicaragua; Madrid; Melbourne; Milan; Johannesburg; Bonn; Baltimore; and Delray Beach, Fl.... or some other equally beautiful locale.

We conservatively value the Reserve Summit at $1,000 per year. As a Member, you get an exclusive invitation to each Reserve Summit every year, for free for life.

But, in addition to free admission to the Reserve-only Summit meetings, you will have free lifetime admission to Agora Financial Investment Symposium.

Here's Your Ever-Renewed and 100% Free Ticket to the Annual Agora Financial Investment Symposium

You may know that the annual Agora Financial Investment Symposium takes place every summer in Vancouver...

It's always a superb time, held in the historic Fairmont Hotel right in middle of my favorite North American city's lush, gorgeous downtown district...

The Investment Symposium is a comfortable, intimate multi-day conference at which all the Agora Financial editors give speeches and workshops on their proprietary research on stocks and options. In addition to the stately roster of Agora Financial editors, we handpick affiliated experts to speak at each of these conferences.

In the past we've welcomed Steve Forbes, Bill Bonner, Jim Rogers and Doug Casey.

The Investment Symposium generally costs $899. But, as a Reserve Member, you get "Always free, Always VIP" access to our public event of the year.

Please keep reading, though: That's not the final benefit bundled into your free lifetime enrollment in the Agora Financial Reserve's "World Travel to Profits" program...

The most unique, under-the-radar travel/investment opportunity we know about, though, could be this one:

Only for Reserve Members: Your Guide to Utterly Exclusive, Ground-Floor Deals on Rock-Bottom Real Estate in Formerly Downtrodden South American Countries

As a Reserve Member, you have the unique ability to get in early on some truly amazing real estate deals in forgotten countries like Nicaragua.

If the Reserve had existed and you had been a member at the time of our affiliate's first foray into Nicaragua... this could have happened:

For next to nothing, you could have bought a sizeable chunk of land sitting right on the rocky bluffs and pink beaches of the Pacific coast of Nicaragua. You might have built a palatial Spanish-style house for less than a third of what it would cost in the U.S. You could have lived in that home. You could've used it as a vacation getaway. Or you could've bought multiple lots and built multiple homes to sell at some future date...

Yes, it's obvious that such opportunities aren't for everyone.

We know that buying international real estate isn't the most convenient way of taking some decent gains. But, we figured that a small group of elite individuals like the Reserve Members would want every possibility open to it, from the ordinary to the exotic.

And if the possible real estate deals in paradisiacal locales weren't enough, we come to the final benefit of the Reserve's "World Travel to Profits" program... this final benefit is so sensitive that even Reserve Members must meet certain requirements to obtain an invitation... but once those requirements are met, you can act like a venture capitalist and get in on this type of hush-hush, closed-door opportunities.

The total yearly value of enrollment in the Agora Financial "World Travel to Profits" program: at least $2,690 per year.

Your Benefits Added Up: Save at Least $122,162

Lifetime subscriptions to all of our research newsletters...
value: $455 per year

Lifetime membership to all of our "VIP" stock research services...
value: $3,495 per year

Lifetime membership to all of our option trading services...
value: $8,970 per year

Lifetime receipt of the Agora Financial Focus List portfolio ...
value: $995 per year

Lifetime free enrollment in the "World Travel to Profits" program ...
value: $2,690 per year

Free Lifetime subscriptions to every single research newsletter and options service that the Reserve is able to publish in the future...
value: unknown, but massive.

The right to use the Legacy Program to pass your lifetime Reserve Membership to a member of your family...
value: priceless.

So, as you can see, the total measurable yearly value of a Reserve Membership is $16,605. And that yearly value will increase at a steady rate as we launch new research newsletters and options services.

That means... five years of Reserve benefits is conservatively valued at $83,025... and a full decade of stellar profits, travel, and research is worth $166,050, at the very least.

That's why you might think I'm crazy to offer the Reserve for a one-time $10,000 price for a lifetime of membership.

That's a savings of $6,605 in the first year alone... and you receive almost everything Agora Financial publishes for free for life! Over the next decade, you'll save a whopping $156,050... but wait — because I'm not going to charge anywhere near $10,000 for you to join the Reserve.

Why You Really Ought to Act Right Now. . .

For this invitation to the Reserve, I've also decided to slash the price another 35%, to only $6,497.

That's a small one-time payment for you to receive such a lifetime of research and gains.

That's all you'll ever pay, except for a small annual maintenance fee of $149 to cover the ever-rising print and postage costs — conveniently charged directly to your credit card each year.

Without this small maintenance fee, we wouldn't be able to offer the Reserve at such a low price — a price that could save you at least $158,212 over the next decade.

Please remember, though, that this offer is strictly limited.

When we hit our 1% enrollment limit or when Jan. 1 rolls around — whichever comes first — you may never see this special offer again. In fact, you may never see another Reserve Membership at any price.

If we offer Reserve Membership invitations again — and that's a pretty big "if" — the price could be $7,000 or higher. (The price may go even higher than that, depending upon how many new services we launch...)

So accept this invitation to make absolutely sure you can take advantage of the unique benefits reserved solely for Reserve Members.

After all, when we hit our 1%, we're going to carefully study how Reserve Members take advantage of the hush-hush and tiny, thinly traded opportunities open only to them. If we see that the Reserve's microscopic benefits can't handle any more exposure to serious investors, we will be forced to forever close the doors of the Reserve.

We'll simply have to shut it down, in that case, to protect the interests of Reserve members... so I recommend that you act immediately to ensure you grab your spot. And here's why you won't have a doubt about joining the Reserve right now:

Your Complete "Satisfied and Wealthy" Guarantee: Get the Reserve Free for 30 Full Days

Since the Reserve is the most uniquely beneficial service that Agora Financial has ever unveiled, it also has the most unwavering guarantee.

You get one full month to decide if the Reserve fits your needs and profit targets. If not, you can get a complete refund. You heard that right: If you let 30 days pass and call us on that last day of the month, we will immediately and cheerfully refund 100% of your membership price, no questions asked.

You keep every service and newsletter we provide you with over that month... so we're essentially offering you a free 30 days of our best research, along with the travel Summits and other services closed off to non-Reserve Members.

Why the heck would we do something like that?

You see, we want to make absolutely sure each and every Reserve Member is 100% satisfied with the pinnacle of Agora Financial service.

We want you to read our newsletters and take respectable, market-pummeling gains from the best stocks recommended therein. We want you to take monstrous, sometimes triple-digit gains in short time frames from our aggressively profitable options research services.

We want you to attend each and every one of our public conferences and Private Reserve Summits, to meet us personally and take advantage of the smaller hush-hush opportunities that can only be shared with small groups.

We want you to love — and profit from — the Reserve so much that you look forward to passing it onto your most loved family member through our Legacy Program.

If you're unsatisfied with even one aspect listed above, we don't want you to have to spent your hard-earned money on the Reserve.

That's why we insist on this guarantee that puts Agora Financial at considerable risk if you find yourself the least bit unsatisfied with the Reserve — because, after all, if the service is as good as we intend it to be, Agora Financial has no risk at all, because you'll be ecstatic with the benefits you derive from your Reserve Membership and you'll stay with us for the long haul.

Why It Might Be Unwise to Wait Until Midnight, Jan. 1. . .

I cannot stress this enough: We're going to close the Reserve Membership (perhaps for good) at the stroke of midnight on Jan. 1, 2009.

But I'm firmly convinced that we'll be forced to cut off memberships long before then. That's because I'm personally convinced that we'll hit our limit of 1% of existing Agora Financial readers very quickly.
