Dear Weary Investor:

If you are like most stunned investors, you're probably down 35%... 40%... even 45% or more and (if you listen to some in the financial media) still wondering if we've seen the worst.

Well, cheer up. In a moment, I'll walk you through an irrefutable, but mostly-ignored, argument as to why the stock market is on the verge of a significant and sustained recovery of at least 30%.

A 30% recovery in the overall market could be worth $30,000 on every $100,000 invested. But as is always the case, the rising tide will not lift everything equally. I'd like to show you how you can stretch that 30% gain by another 20% by loading up now on 7 investments that my analysis shows will outperform the impending rebound!

You'll find all the details in my FREE Special Report, 7 Investments to Maximize
the Coming Market Recovery. It's just a click away.

Don't procrastinate. For reasons I'm about to reveal, the rebound is all but
guaranteed. This time it will be sustained and it's likely to begin at any moment. And when it happens, you want to be well positioned in the stocks that will maximize your gains.

If you wait, you'll end up wishing you'd acted. Make sure you click on the instant link to your FREE Report: 7 Investments to Maximize the Coming Market Recovery.

It's Déjà Vu All Over Again!

Why am I so certain the stock market is on the verge of a sustained 30% recovery?

Because a careful analysis of similar past crises tells us that when the market gets bad enough and when the Fed takes certain steps, you get a huge and sustained rally usually about six months later:

• 6 months after the 1997 Asian currency crisis -- a gain of 30%! Remember what was going on in 1997? The Asian melt-down began with a dramatic devaluation of the currencies and equities in Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, and other Asian countries. The currency turmoil affected U.S. imports and exports, as well as capital flows, the value of the U.S. dollar, and the U.S. deficit on trade, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) into a tailspin. On October 27th the DJIA plummeted 7.2%, to a low of 7,150 and the N.Y. Stock Exchange actually suspended trading. At that point, Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan sprang into action, pushed the tried-and-true “Fix-It Button" and waited patiently for things to happen. On schedule, after 6 months of gut-wrenching anxiety, the system kicked in. By April 22, 1998 the DJIA was up more than 30%, trading at 9,287!

• 68 months after the crash of '87 -- a 29% bounce! Remember "Black Monday?" In a matter of hours, the DJIA dropped by 508 points to a low of 1,677 (a one-day drop of 22.6%) sending Wall Street and Main Street into a "chicken-little" panic. Again, when Fed Chair Greenspan first pushed the "Fix-It Button", nothing seemed to happen. The doomsters and the naysayers had a field day until suddenly things turned around and by June the DJIA was trading at 2,165 -- up 29%.

• 66 months after the Mexican financial crisis of 1982 -- A 36% rebound! When 60% annual inflation undermined Mexico's ability to pay its U.S. debt, the resulting currency crisis sent Wall Street into a serious tail spin, and by June 10, 1982 the DJIA hit a low of 784. That summer, the then-Fed Chairman Paul Volker pushed the "Fix-It Button", but nothing seemed to happen. For months the doomsters lamented the downfall of our free-market system, until the remedy began to kick in. By November 4th, less than 6 months later, the DJIA hit 1,070, a quick decisive rebound of 36.47%!

The Tried-and-True “Fix-It Button"!

What all these dramatic rebounds have in common, and what makes them relevant today, is that each was set in motion by the economic theories of Milton Friedman.

You may remember that Milton Friedman was the genius behind many of the economic reforms put forth by the Reagan Administration. It was Friedman, a Noble Laureate, who challenged the trend toward ever-increasing governmental control of the economy in favor of market-oriented solutions.

Appropriate action by the Federal Reserve takes at least 6 months to kick in!

What's most interesting to me, at this moment, is that Friedman said there would always be a lag of about six months from the time the Fed took certain action until the market enjoyed a sustained recovery.

It was a certain Federal Reserve action based upon Milton Friedman's thinking that saved the day in the crises of 1982... 1987... and, again in 1997.

Now, with an even more serious economic meltdown in full swing, the current Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke, has quietly resorted to the same stealthy remedy. In fact, Bernanke took it right out of Friedman's play book. Bernanke pushed the "Fix-It Button" back in the middle of September. Given a lag of at least six months, that means a huge and sustained market recovery of 30% is just around the corner.

If, like most investors, you're down 40% or more and panicked at the thought that you might never make it back, don't worry...

• Even though the financial media doesn't exactly love Bernanke...
• Even though the market keeps bouncing along a painful bottom...
• Even though the market has repeatedly head-faked us with short-lived,
  go-no-place rallies...
• Even though the bears and the doomsters see an even lower bottom...

Bernanke's "Fix-It Button" is about to kick in!

Everything is in place for a significant and sustained recovery. History tells us, you can expect to see the DJIA above 10,000 by the end of this year. Best of all, this time, the market should protect most of its gains. This is going to be the long-awaited recovery.

Add an Extra 20% to the Coming Recovery with these 7 Investments! Before we go any farther, you may be wondering who I am... why should you listen to me... and, most importantly, why should you put money now into the 7 investments I'll tell you about in my FREE Report? My name is Dr. Mark Skousen. For 29 years, I've been the editor of one of the nation's most highly regarded investment letters, Forecasts & Strategies. Earlier in my career I was an economist with the Central Intelligence Agency, and nowadays I appear frequently on television and at national investment conferences. 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 Columbia University or Rollins College. If so, you may know I've spent nearly three decades writing, speaking, and advising individual investors on the shortest, most direct route to complete financial freedom. In the process, I've made my followers lots of money... in individual stocks, junk bonds, closed-end funds, precious metals, and dozens of special situations. Larry Kudlow, host of Kudlow & Company, whose TV show I appear on regularly, says "Mark Skousen is one of the best financial economists I know." John Mackey, the CEO of Fortune 500 company Whole Foods Market, calls me "a first-rate thinker, writer and practitioner of sound economics." And the late Nobel Laureate Milton Friedman referred to me as an "able, imaginative and energetic economist." In short, after nearly 30 years in the investment advisory business, I have led my subscribers to more than our fair share of success. I'm telling you all this, not to blow my own horn, but because it's important that you know my background in finance and investing. And, that I have the knowledge, training, and expertise to help you maximize the coming recovery. Today I'd like to share that success with you. I'm telling you and every discouraged, worried investor to hang in there for the 30% sustained recovery that could begin at any moment. As an economist and veteran market watcher, I always try to be alert to the actions of the Fed and its chairman. Despite the naysayers and the talking heads who are still predicting another great depression, I'm saying that -- just as happened in the dire crises of 1982... in 1987... and in 1997... ... there is an inescapable "time lag" before the economy and the stock market respond to government intervention!

What was the monetary policy invoked by Paul Volker in 1982, that Alan Greenspan repeated in 1987 and again in 1997, to which Ben Bernanke has at last resorted to in 2008? Why does it take at least six months to kick in? Why does it so unequivocally set the stage for a huge, sudden, if delayed and unexpected rebound in the market that comes about six months later? And most importantly, why will certain stocks benefit more than others from he fast-approaching rally and what you must do now to maximize your gains?

7 Super-Charged Equities Set for
Upward Explosion!

Right now, most investors are consumed by confusion, fear, and uncertainty. Many have fled the market. Many have merely hung on and done nothing as the value of their holdings eroded quickly away.

Whatever you have done with your portfolio, you need now to remember that every financial crisis sows the seeds of great opportunity. The effects of the Bernanke's "Fix-It Button" are about to kick in and you can undo a lot of the damage if you're holding investments that stand to gain the most from the coming rebound.

In your FREE copy of 7 Investments to Maximize the Coming Market Recovery, you'll find details and my supporting reasons why these particular investments are especially low-risk, but stand to out-perform the broad recovery by an additional 20%:

• Cash in on soon-to-escalate energy prices -- Remember last summer when all the experts were predicting $200-a-barrel oil? Crude won't stay this cheap for long and this growth fund is my #1 choice for cashing in on the oil, gas, and energy equipment and services sector.

• Buy this financial at a 70% discount -- Wall Street threw this baby out with the bathwater, despite the fact that this debt-investment firm has no exposure to the subprime mess. Its quarterly dividend has been steady and rising and the stock is poised for a major rebound.

• My #1 commodity play -- The slowdown in the world economy has knocked 80% off the trading price of this mining, refining, smelting, and fabricating giant. This is a solid company that has tremendous upside potential as the economy regains strength.

• Heart disease is unaffected by the slowdown -- Business and profits are booming for this medical appliance company. Its breakthrough products for the diagnosis and treatment of vascular and heart disease are revolutionizing medicine worldwide. The company also had revenues of $78 million in the first six months of 2008 -- up nearly 32% from its 2007 figures.

• Dividends are what count! -- Companies with the highest dividends have held up relatively well during the sell-off and should continue to benefit from the coming rebound. This large-cap dividend index fund is linked to the performance of 100 companies with the highest dividend yield.

• Best overseas fund -- I don't want to discount a rebound in emerging markets, and the most certain way I know to cash in is a fund that scans the globe looking for the best dividend opportunities for investors, employing a multi-cap, multi-sector, and multi-style investment approach in order to maximize the amount of distributed dividend income and to identify companies globally with the potential for dividend increases and capital appreciation.

• Best inflation hedge -- As the world economy recovers, you're going to see commodity prices soar as inflation kicks in world wide. This investment is designed to produce long-term growth plus protection against inflation and monetary instability by investing at least 80% of net assets in the natural resources sector -- especially in booming Eastern Europe. This equity has come under pressure in the last few months due to the invasion of Georgia and other troubles in Russia, but I still like the economic fundamentals and flat tax revolution in the region. Typically, emerging markets fall sharply, only to recovery sharply.

I know this market is confusing. I understand why so many investors are still cautiously on the sidelines. But the 7 investments I've collected as your personal "fix-it" program are carefully selected because they offer the potential to magnify gains from the coming Bernanke rebound, and because they are the kind of fundamentally solid investments that should be sheltered from any additional downside risk.
