How to Turn $50,000 into $1.25 Million
If you subscribed to Financial Intelligence Report four
years ago with just $50,000 in your account and followed our advice and
recommendations precisely, it would be worth $181,336 today without
having added a single penny.
Keeping up that portfolio-blowing pace of 38% annual returns for the
next six years, your $50,000 would grow to a cool $1.25 million...just
like that.
Think this is just pie-in-the-sky talk? Think again.
FIR's average stock selections have steamrolled
year-after-year-after-year: 58.4% in 2004, 28% in 2005, and 15% in
2006--not quite as high as previous years, yet still four times higher
than the S&P 500.
It's easy to see how quickly the zeros can multiply when you consider
FIR scored triple-digit profits like these since its
inception in 2003:

supported by our relentless research that identifies locked-in
short-term or long-term economic trends. While anyone can follow or
chase trends, FIR subscribers have bagged monster profits
from our unique ability to spot these unstoppable profit trends early,
pick the right stocks that ride these waves, and know when it's time to
take profits.
On top of that we tap into what some of the richest and savviest

Buffett, George Soros and Jim Rogers.

your wealth, you will be. Keep on reading; there's much more to come.
On Target Year-After Year
In our inaugural year of publishing FIR we predicted
some of the most profitable economic trends, spotting them early and
making sure our subscribers were in the right stocks before the herds
jumped in. For instance, in our December 2003 issue we wrote:
"In times of economic and political turmoil and war, hard assets boom
while financial paper gets burned. This happened in the 1970s, and it's
on the verge of happening again.
- Commodities are exploding: In spite of weak demand, copper is up 25
percent against the dollar in the last two years, cotton is up over 40
percent, and wheat has more than doubled! Oil is slowly creeping higher.
- Foreign currencies are taking off: As in the '70s, solid foreign
currencies like the Swiss franc, New Zealand and Australian dollars, and
even the Canadian dollar have risen by 20 percent to 30 percent against
the dollar, along with the more-publicized euro.
- Gold is regaining its luster: Precious metals are back! Gold has
soared from $255 to over $400 in just a year. Platinum has hit a record
high of $763 an ounce, and copper prices are at six-year highs."
Immediately after identifying these trends we advised our subscribers
to jump into our favorite stocks in each of these sectors and have made
our subscribers some handsome profits to say the least. Let's start with
the most volatile and market-moving commodities of all: oil.
Capturing Oil Profits on the Rise and Fall
Back
in 2003, with a barrel of oil costing less than $40, we predicted that
crude would shoot to $60 a barrel due to overheated global tensions.
Two years later, our readers made a killing in our recommended positions
including: +104.6% in Oil Service Holders Trust, +207.2% in Diamond
Off-Shore Drilling and +139.4% in Devon Energy Corp.
Soon after selling our oil stocks for big profits, we reported that
the inflated oil prices were purely political and would soon fall back
to more reasonable levels. As it turned out we were "about to embark on
a punishing bear market for certain oil stocks."
Since then, oil has spiraled from a peak of $78.40 a barrel set on
July 14, 2006 to a bottom of nearly $50 in 2007. That's a 27% plunge in
a matter of months.
Though oil prices have recently risen again to the $60 a barrel range
we stand by our prediction that crude is on the verge of receding to the
high $30s or low $40s. We're way ahead of the curve on this falling
trend and already positioned for even bigger profits.

Hitting the Gold Jackpot with Rising Inflation
In
our November 2004 issue of FIR (The Coming Gold Bull
Market), we accurately predicted the future rise in the price of
gold. And, in our April 2005 edition (The Inflation Lie) we again
advised investors to buy gold and select gold stocks that we recommended
as a hedge to protect their assets and cash-in on the coming surge in
gold prices.
As a result, FIR subscribers pocketed +232% in Anglo
American (AAUK), +100% in Glamis Gold (GLM), +60% in Vanguard Precious
Metals (VGPMX) and +48% in Oppenheimer Gold and Special Minerals (OPGSX)
in the first leg of the bull. What's more, these positions were sold
well in advance of the speculator-driven sell-off of gold in the second
half of 2006.
Most analysts agree with FIR that round two of huge
demand and huge profits is upon us. And we're positioned perfectly
invested in four gold stocks that could return 50% to 100% profits in
the next year. I want you to be there with us.
Go here now.
We've been warning our subscribers for over a year now about the lurking
stealth inflation capable of sending our economy into a tailspin. The
Fed has been slyly cooking the books over the years, reporting 3%-4%
core inflation. Meanwhile, FIR has disclosed time and time
again that 10%-12% inflation reflected a truer rate.
As inflation rises, the price of gold goes up along with it. Gold has
historically outperformed other investments during periods of high
inflation.
We're absolutely convinced that gold will regain its popularity and
return as one of the most profitable sectors in 2007 and beyond. In
fact, we've already positioned our readers to catch the next leg. I want
you to be there with us too.

A Weak Dollar Boosts Foreign Fodder
The
dollar, on a slippery slope for nearly a decade now, recently fell to a
two-year low versus the euro as a result of weaker-than-expected housing
data.
With the Bush administration backing a cheap dollar to boost the export
of U.S. goods and decrease their foreign debt-service costs, the dollar
decline is likely to continue and even accelerate in 2007 and beyond.
However, as Fortune magazine points out: "While the decline of
the dollar has so far been benign, fears are growing that a more rapid
devaluation could send interest rates surging and crimp economic growth
in the years ahead, especially if Washington doesn't get its fiscal
house in order."
Big losers from a falling dollar include foreign imports, as well as
airlines and hotel chains, which will be harmed by reduced foreign
travel. Europe in particular is becoming very expensive for American
tourists.
One cause which we have warned about in FIR is OPEC's
transition from the dollar to the euro for oil transactions. This is not
only causing the dollar's decline, but it will have a huge psychological
effect and result in the rapid fall of the dollar, followed by the
dumping of U.S. Treasury bonds worldwide.
That's the bad news. The good news is that we have been warning our
subscribers about the decline of the dollar for more than two years and
were ready and waiting to pocket handsome profits after the global
market meltdown in late February.
You'll recall that's when comments by the Chinese government aimed at
tightening regulation caused the Dow to close down 416 points the
steepest loss since 9/11 with foreign markets getting clobbered as
well.
But, FIR readers made out like bandits.
You see, we are very diligent in our use of trailing, or protective,
stops. We use them in an effort to protect our readers from watching
profits disappear when a market or stock tanks. Leading up to that
fateful day, we had been erring on the side of caution and raising our
stops on international funds on a regular basis.
That day, protective stops were triggered in iShares MSCI Malaysia
(EWM), but not before we took a 58% gain. Similarly, we closed our
positions in both iShares MSCI Singapore (EWS) and Singapore Fund Inc. (SGF)
for gains of +63% and +87%, respectively. Dividends pushed those returns
even higher to +71% and +108.6%.
Indian stocks were hit particularly hard during the sell-off in
Asia, triggering sells in Icici Bank (IBN) and HDFC Bank (HDB), but not
before we swiped gains of 58% and 30.9%.
We are still holding gains in, Templeton Int'l Emerging (TEGEX)
+55%, and Templeton Global Opportunities (TEGOX) +44% with stops
firmly in place in the FIR portfolio.
Are you starting to see just how valuable a resource FIR
can be in helping you build wealth and protect what you've already
earned?
Real Estate: When the Walls Come Tumbling Down
We said it in 2004: A real estate crash is inevitable, and a "soft
landing" is unlikely so be afraid, be very afraid.
"Once the Fed begins jacking up rates as they say they will
thousands of people with adjustable-rate mortgages could then find
themselves unable to make their monthly house payments, which in turn
could precipitate a decline in real estate prices.
That would then curtail consumer spending, when people discover they
can no longer use their home equity as a piggy bank. The housing snag
could begin as early as the fall or winter of 2005. If it does happen,
it will likely develop slowly at first, the full impact not being felt
until the middle of 2006 or even early 2007."
Bingo! With the crash now well underway the implications for the
entire country is staggering.
The harsh ramifications from those sub-par credit-worthy people who
were taken hook, line and sinker by "too good to be true" loans in order
to make owning the home of their dreams a reality are finally being felt
by the public and financial sectors.
- What used to account for less than 5 percent of mortgages back in
1995 has grown to a whopping 20 percent plus.
- According to Inside Mortgage Finance, the subprime market
accounted for $600 billion or 20 percent of the $3 trillion home loan
market in 2006. That's a whole lot of money owed by a whole lot of
people who simply aren't able to keep up with the adjusted rising
costs of their mortgages.
- The rate of delinquency (payments late more than 6 months) reached
its highest rate in four years in the fourth quarter of 2006,
according to data compiled by the Washington-based Mortgage Bankers
Association.
- Other than fleeing homeowners, those hardest hit by delinquent
loans are the actual subprime mortgage lenders; half of the biggest 20
firms do business in California. New Century, in Orange County, just
filed protection from bankruptcy and Ameriquest Mortgage already laid
off more than 3,500 workers. Some 20 mortgage lenders across the
country, with at least a few fingers in the subprime pie, have already
filed bankruptcy.
- As lenders go out of business, it leaves people with existing
loans having to find alternate sources of funding. This collapse,
coupled with foreclosures, is putting 2.5 million Americans in danger
of losing their homes, according to the president of the nonprofit
Center for Responsible Lending, testifying before Congress.
- Falling home prices, higher inventories and slowing sales are all
rubbing salt in the subprime wounds.
- Prices of single-family homes across the nation hit 13-year lows
in January compared to a year ago based on existing homes tracked over
time in 10 metropolitan markets.
- Government sales figures show that the number of home sales in
February fell to the lowest level in seven years, and followed an even
larger drop of nearly 16 percent in January.
The Commerce Department reported that sales of new single-family
homes fell 3.9 percent or 848,000 in February, the slowest sales pace in
nearly seven years. The February decline followed an even larger 15.8
percent drop in sales in January, previously the largest one-month
plunge in 13 years, is yet another sign the market has not.
We've already advised FIR readers to take steps to
immediately protect themselves. We thought that you, too, could find
these helpful:
1. Invest Wisely. Real estate investing is fine, as long as
you don't pay bubble prices or hold highly leveraged real estate
holdings. Try to keep at least 40 percent equity to value, and do the
same with investment properties, if possible. Like the stock market,
there are still areas not getting the bubble treatment. These include
real estate in small towns and undiscovered areas where growth is just
beginning.
2. Reduce your debt load. First and foremost, pay off
high-interest credit cards, which can charge rates of 12 percent to 24
percent and more. Taking out a small home loan at 5 percent to 6 percent
interest and using the money to pay off credit card balances is often a
smart move. Get your loan at a fixed rate and avoid ARMs.
3. Keep as much money as possible in cash. Warren Buffett is
keeping 20 percent of his assets in cash.
4. Become a value investor. Avoid any of the tech stocks
making a comeback, and any stocks in general with a high (over 25) P/E
ratio.
5. Focus on dividend stocks. These pay a return, offer more
price stability and have not suffered the hype.
We put safety first when it comes to real estate, and positioned our
readers to profit from the decline and ensuing recession. It's not too
late for you to protect yourself and profit.

What's Next For the Economy? The Markets?
Your Wealth? What Stocks to Buy Now?
We are convinced interest rates are more likely to rise than fall in
the coming year. Furthermore, we believe that, as the American economy
weakens, corporate profits will be hit. We also believe that, as part of
a strategy to shore-up the U.S. dollar, the Fed may be forced to tighten
its liquidity.
Despite this possibility, Wall Street and the media continue telling
us that U.S. stock markets already at record levels are likely to
keep rising. This is great news, but can it be true? On Jan. 14, 2000,
the Dow reached 11,750.28. On Dec. 20, 2006, the Dow reached 12,400.59
a new record, or so Wall Street, the media, and gleeful politicians tell
us.
But numbers alone can be misleading. If you take the 2000 Dow record
of 11,750 and adjust it for the "official" (understated) rate of
inflation, it would equate to 13,401, or some 1,000 points above today's
level!
In other words, to make a truly new record, the Dow will have to rise
a further 1,000 points to reach 13,401! So much for the morale boosting
"records" hyped by high-earning financiers, politicians, and the media!
Believe who you want, but here at FIR, we've already
placed protective walls around our readers' portfolios to make sure we
don't give back all of the profits we've made when the recession or
severe slowdown arrives.
Plus, our holdings in commodities, global stocks, health care and
biotech (we just locked in 100% gains in Celgene Corp.) and
staple dividend-payers, like our open position in iShares DJ Select
Dividend (DVY), up 40%, continue to provide market-beating profits.
Three Global Income Stocks to Buy Now
Though the markets will remain volatile in 2007 we continue to find
great investment opportunities. Here are three of our favorite global
income stocks we are advising FIR subscribers to buy now:
- One is a high-yield, low-risk global stock that is positioned to
benefit from falling oil prices. The company provides energy and
energy-related products and services to electric and gas customers in
the Carolinas and in Florida and pays a nice 5.08% yield.
- Another one we like in this arena has delivered 20.5% since we
first recommended it in August 2005. This closed-end management
investment company aims to provide high total returns from tax
advantaged dividend income and capital appreciation. It offers a 5.62%
yield.
- We continue to like pharmaceuticals as they be the primary
beneficiaries from the coming baby boom wave. One is the fifth-largest
U.S.-based pharmaceutical company based on revenues. FIR
readers who picked it up when we recommended it in April 2006 are up
11.1%. Another we like is a huge player in global pharmaceuticals,
offering a tidy 4.39% yield.
We consider health-care companies long-term investments because it is
a sector that will show consistent grow regardless of the health of the
economy due to the aging of the baby boom generation.
