I'm about to share with you the most exciting investment story I've uncovered in more than 25 years as a professional economist, author, and award-winning newsletter editor.

The size of this opportunity is immense... as is the profit potential.

You're about to learn how a tiny dried fish and fruit export company has transformed itself into one of the most profitable technology companies in the world.

Already this company is more profitable than IBM. More profitable than Intel. Bear in mind, I'm not just talking about just a faster growth rate. I'm talking about actual bottom-line profits.

This company sells $22 billion a year in semiconductors, $17.8 billion a year in wireless phones, $9.7 billion a year in digital media (MP3 music players, DVD players, televisions and home theaters), and more than $4 billion a year in electrical appliances.

And even though this is a publicly-traded company, I estimate the odds are less than 1-in-50,000 that you own this stock. (Or have ever even considered owning it, for that matter.)

How can this be when we're talking about a company that makes more than $10 billion a year in profits?

That's what makes this such a fascinating story -- and such a spectacular opportunity for those who understand what's happening here. When the rest of the world discovers what you're about to learn, this stock is going to lift off like it's leaving Cape Canaveral.

And, personally, it makes no difference whether you're bullish on technology shares or not. For reasons I'm about to explain, you need to own this stock. And you need to own it now.

One Chance... One Stock

My name is Dr. Mark Skousen.

For 25 years, I've been the editor of one of the nation's most highly-regarded investment letters, Forecasts & Strategies. I've also worked as an economist with the Central Intelligence Agency, appeared frequently at national investment conferences and on television, and been described as "Washington's #1 Financial Insider."

You may have read one of my more than two dozen books on finance and investing. Or perhaps you know someone who attended one of my classes on free-market economics at Rollins College or Columbia University.

If so, you may know I've spent nearly three decades writing, speaking and advising individual investors on the shortest, most-direct route to total financial independence. In the process, I've made my followers millions of dollars... in individual stocks, junk bonds, closed-end funds, precious metals and dozens of special situations.

Today I also run a highly-successful trading service that shows ordinary investors how to run their brokerage accounts like a top-performing hedge fund... where in the last year alone we've locked in profits of as much as 322% in three weeks and 487% in seven weeks.

In short, after nearly thirty years in the investment advisory business, I've had more than my fair share of success.

Today I'd like to share that success with you.

I've recently uncovered an unusual opportunity with the potential to make you a great deal of money in a very short period of time. I call it "an easy double." Don't get me wrong. Solid mutual funds and steady blue-chip stocks have their place in your portfolio. But it never hurts to take a small risk when the potential pay off is this enormous.

Special situations like this one are rare. But when they present themselves, they offer you the potential for explosive short-term profits. But only if you have the essential facts... and the willingness to act on them.

You're about to have that opportunity now.

Why No One You Know Owns this
$10 Billion Tech Stock... Yet

The technology stock I've been talking about has a most unusual history. I mentioned earlier that it started out as a small export company, selling fish and fruit. But that was quite a while ago... 1938 to be exact.

Things have changed quite a bit since then. Today the company's research budget is more than $3 billion annually. (And it will double R&D spending over the next three years.) Last year it was among the top ten companies receiving U.S. patents. It was awarded 1,604 of them.

The firm has over 20,000 researchers in 15 labs around the world, including sites in China, Japan, Russia, and Israel. And this applied science has produced a company that now leads the world in technological innovation. By 1994, for example, the company began making the first semiconductor chip to hold 256 megabits. (And today it is the world's largest producer of DRAM, the most common form of computer memory.)

The company controls over 13% of the global $85 billion market for cell phones. In fact, this firm releases a new cell phone in the U.S. every two weeks. It popularized the first cell phone that doubles as a PDA (personal digital assistant). And it was the first to equip a cell phone with an MP3 player, so users could play their favorite music.

Over the past year, the company has released a TV phone, as well as talking phones that can read e-mail messages to the listener. The firm also released new cell phones that can handle 20 hours of talk time on a single charge, more than doubling the previous average talk time. These phones can also hold 2,000 songs and 8 hours of video, and play 3-D games too. And plenty more phones with new bells and whistles are coming down the pike to satisfy consumers’ thirst for the newest gadgets.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg. The company is the world leader in memory, making a fifth of all flash memory. (Flash memory is vital in wireless devices because it holds data after the power is switched off.) It's already trouncing Intel in this department.

The company is also the world's largest producer of thin-film LCD screens and flat-panel computer screens, one of the fastest growing segments of the technology market. Fat profit margins on products like these will help propel the stock higher in the weeks ahead.

Mammoth Sales... and Gigantic Profits Too

By dominating its markets and regularly delivering innovative new products, sales and earnings are set to soar. This will help ignite the stock.

Bear in mind, the company's brand name is already recognized worldwide. It has a sterling reputation for top-notch products. (Recently, for example, the firm's customers were polled and asked to compare the company's products to a car brand. The most popular answer was Lexus.)

The firm is also recognized around the globe as a leader in product innovation. The company has won 19 design awards at the IDEA competition since 2001, more than any other company. Its design and production facilities are among the best in the world. And getting better all the time. Rolling out a new technology product -- from design to storefront -- now takes a matter of weeks.

And, of course, this is already a company that has a bottom-line profit of more than $10 billion.

In the most recent quarter alone, this company had sales of more than $13 billion. And business is still accelerating. The company CEO recently remarked in Forbes that business is growing "like a snowball rolling down a big hill."

Still, he's not satisfied with the company's name recognition among consumers. While you almost certainly have patronized this company, for many it's not a brand name that leaps to mind. But that's about to change too. Interbrand, a consultancy, reports that their brand's value is now close to that of Sony.

"We want brand infatuation," says the company's U.S. marketing chief. "We want consumers to recognize us like Starbucks or Nike."

I believe they'll be there soon. And when they do, the current price of the stock will be just a distant memory. Because millions of investors will pounce on it.

Overlooked and Undervalued

It's tough to imagine how a firm can be one of the world's most profitable technology companies and yet not one American in 50,000 owns it. But you're about to understand why.

This company's shares have never been listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Nor have they traded on NASDAQ... or even the American Exchange.

Believe it or not, this titan of technology is still traded over-the-counter (OTC), on the so-called pink sheets and on two foreign exchanges.

The pink sheets, of course, are where unlisted securities trade. It's better known as the home of penny stocks and young microcaps. It almost defies belief that a global technology leader with $13 billion in quarterly sales is trading OTC.

This has led to a situation where the stock is both overlooked and grossly undervalued. But now it's set to catapult higher... to at least two times its current value, in my view.

How cheap?

The stock currently sells at less than a third the valuation of many of its competitors. If the stock only trades up to an earnings multiple that matches it's competitors, it will triple (even though I'm only predicting it to double). There's no calculating how high this stock may eventually go.

That's why time is of the essence.

And, incidentally, I don't buy companies just because they're great businesses. I'm a Scrooge Investor. They must be great bargains as well. This is perhaps the best I've ever seen.

Today I'm offering you all the information you need to buy this stock through your broker, in my new special report An Easy Double: The $10 Billion Secret Your Broker Won’t Tell You About. It's absolutely free as a new subscriber to my award-winning investment newsletter Forecasts & Strategies.

An Easy Double... And So Much More

For all the reasons I've mentioned, the time to jump on this stock is now.

My special intelligence report details everything you need to know to take advantage of this timely opportunity. (Including, of course, how to buy this stock through your broker.)

Plus, as a subscriber to my letter, you'll receive regular updates on the status of this special investment, as it's now featured prominently on my Recommended List. And when the time comes to pull the trigger -- to lock in our profits -- I'll fire off an alert to you immediately.

However, as a new subscriber to Forecasts & Strategies, you'll soon be enjoying dozens of other benefits as well.

More Than 20 Years of Dead-On Market Calls

Long-time subscribers to my newsletter will tell you I have dozens of unusual ideas about how to safely earn double-digit income, how to grow your portfolio handsomely even during down markets, and how to keep the bulk of your money safe from the prying hands of the IRS. As a new subscriber, I'll have the opportunity to discuss all these important topics with you in the near future.

You'll soon find that I have a perspective on the economy and the markets you won't find anywhere else.

I am one of the few financial advisors and newsletter writers with a PhD in Economics -- and the only one with extensive experience in the CIA. That means I've got contacts in business and sources in government that are unavailable to others.

With more than 25 years experience, I've seen bull markets, bear markets and everything in between. The record shows that I've alerted my subscribers to market updrafts and downdrafts time and again... well before they occurred.

In fact, I've called virtually every major market move over the last twenty-five years. Independent sources can verify that:

• I warned in 1980 that gold and silver were dangerously overheated and the time had come to take profits. Precious metals promptly tanked and subsequently lost nearly 75% of their value.

• I proclaimed in 1982 that Reagonomics would work and said "a long decade of profits is coming."

• I issued a "sell everything" recommendation just 41 days before the stock market crash of 1987. Then told investors to get fully invested again just weeks later...

• I called the Gulf War of 1990 "a turning point for U.S. stocks." The Dow subsequently began a bull market that didn't end for nearly ten years.

• In the 90's, I stayed resolutely bullish and recommended dozens of profitable investments to my readers in stocks, bonds, gold, foreign markets, junk bonds... and other special situations.

• Using economic analysis, I recently issued a special report entitled "The Map That Predicted the Terrorist Attacks – What Is It Predicting Now?" And in my current newsletter, I show you exactly how to use my "Anti-Terrorist Portfolio" to protect your hard-earned capital, even if the unthinkable occurs. (This alone is worth many times the cost of subscribing.)

• While my market calls and individual stock picks have been right on the money, many subscribers insist they take my letter for the income recommendations alone! I'll soon be telling you about high-yielding real estate trusts, corporate bonds with double-digit yields, and deeply discounted funds paying fat monthly dividends.

And with rates near a 40-year low, this is indispensable information. Check out my High Income Portfolio -- with yields as high as 11% -- as soon as you receive your first issue.

Perhaps you're looking to increase your returns with broad diversification and a high degree of safety. In that case, you'll enjoy reading about my commission-free "No-Load Fund Portfolio".

Are you looking for special situations with the ability to suddenly soar in value? I currently have six red-hot gold and natural resource recommendations, and "Five Stocks Set to Fly."

Of course, as a new subscriber, your very first investment will likely be the $10 billion secret.

In short, I have many exciting -- and highly profitable -- investment ideas, and I can't wait to share them with you.

The Last Honest Man?

Rest assured, you'll never see the type of advice and analysis I offer anywhere else. And, best of all, my recommendations are completely untainted by monetary concerns or other "special interests."

Unlike most financial advisors, I don't work for commissions. I'm not interested in earning fees off your portfolio. And I have zero interest in "capturing your assets."

For years I've told prospective subscribers I offer "independent advice for independent thinkers." And my advice and insights have never been more essential than they are in today's treacherous markets.

As an investor, just look at what you have to contend with:

• Politicians tell you whatever they think you want to hear. They'll balance the budget. Create new jobs. Cut your taxes. Pick up your health care tab. And safeguard Social Security too. (Don't bank on it.)

• Financial planners and insurance agents often sound sincere. But the bottom line is they pay their mortgages by earning big commissions and fees, often hidden inside the products they sell. And these costs come right out of your nest egg. Many of these "professionals" are nothing more than salesmen offering an endless stream of self-serving advice and high-commission products.

• Brokers insist they're looking out for your interests "one investor at a time." But the last few years have exposed this line as one of the greatest whoppers of all time. Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and other major brokerage firms have recently paid hundreds of millions of dollars in fines and penalties. Why? For blatantly compromising your interests for theirs.

• Even no-load mutual funds, once an oasis in a desert of high-costs and financial self-dealing, haven been fined hundreds of millions of dollars by the New York State Attorney General's office.

In short, today's financial waters are shark-infested. But I'm offering you a life raft. An opportunity to reach complete financial freedom. And my only obligation is to my subscribers.

In the months ahead, I'll be increasing your investment returns, lowering your risk profile and keeping the bulk of your profits away from the taxman. In the exciting, fun-to-read pages of my newsletter each month, you'll learn exactly what to do.

Between issues, I also offer a free weekly hotline -- via e-mail, web or phone -- so you're always kept abreast of new developments with each of my recommendations... and particularly our "easy double."
