By Dr. Mark Skousen, Editor, Forecasts & Strategies

Now you can safely rebuild your portfolio and even grow
it to new heights in record time.  Just put these often
overlooked, all-weather, secret investment strategies
to work, then sit back and relax...

Dear Investor,

In this almost unprecedented past year, the stock market has shown us the good, the bad, and the ugly -- especially the ugly. Now, like most investors, you're probably worried about making back what you've lost.

Every time the market surges forward, it seems to lurch backward again. It's enough to make you want to stuff your money under a mattress and be done with it. But of course, you really can't afford to do that -- that is, if you want to maintain your lifestyle or retire comfortably someday.

In this Special Issue, I'm going to show you a faster, safer way to rebuild your portfolio: simply put to work my 7 secret strategies for making money in any market. In a moment, I'll reveal each one of them -- along with special situations and bargain opportunities I've uncovered that can help you grow at least 50% richer two years from today!

How to Prosper in Bull and Bear Markets -- And Everything In-Between

How do I know these secret strategies work so well? Because during my more than 29 years writing the award-winning financial advisory, Forecasts & Strategies, I've developed these strategies and helped my subscribers put them to work with great success. We've used them to profit richly in bull markets, bear markets, and everything in-between.

These strategies have helped my subscribers' portfolios weather the storm during war, recession, political change, terrorist attacks, and other challenging times -- including the recent financial meltdown. And they've positioned us to rake in big gains when the good times came roaring back. No matter what has come our way, my subscribers have been ready to act.

I've consistently alerted my subscribers to major market moves... before they occurred. Before the stock market crash of 1987 ravaged investors' portfolios, I urged my subscribers to sell. In the mid-1990s -- at the very start of the dot-com boom, I recommended they load up on tech stocks. And just weeks before the NASDAQ collapsed in 2000, I warned my subscribers that tech stocks were overvalued.

In 2006 -- more than two years before the financial meltdown -- I alerted my subscribers that "we are headed for fiscal disaster" and showed them how to protect themselves. In 2007, I warned about a continued dollar crisis. And in March 2009, I predicted the bottom of the market... and told my subscribers that stocks were a "screaming buy."

That's why I wanted to get this Special Summer 2009 Issue into your hands right away. There's never been a more crucial time to position your portfolio so you can preserve your investment capital, while taking full advantage of prime investment opportunities overlooked by other investors where you can profit richly.

One thing I've learned is there's always somewhere you can keep your money safe and growing. And now is no different. I've identified several highly profitable investments you'll want to grab onto now using the secret strategies I'm about to reveal. Let's start with a blockbuster medical technology company that could make you at least four times your money in the coming months...

Secret Strategy #1:
Look for Fast-Growing Takeover Targets -- Like This
Medical Technology Company Set to Soar 400%

One of my favorite strategies is to hunt down bargains overlooked by other investors. These companies are one of the best ways to rack up huge short-term profits -- without taking huge risks.

That's because they let you win either one of two ways -- or in the best-case scenario, both 1) you feast on juicy capital gains that far outpace the market, and 2) you're sitting in the catbird seat for a potential jackpot if a sudden takover materializes.

The first company I want to tell you about is a perfect example.  It's a medical technology company that's currently experiencing blockbuster revenue growth.  But it's not just a gangbuster growth stock.  It's also a highly attractive takeover candidate!

In fact, having done the research and due diligence on this special situation, I believe this company's shares could quadruple in the coming months.  Here's why...

Breakthrough Technology Makes Today's Artery Ultrasound Obsolete 

According to the American Heart Association, more than 80 million Americans suffer from heart disease. Unfortunately, that number is likely to grow substantially as more and more of us hit the prime demographic for increased cardiovascular risk factors.

Atherosclerosis, otherwise known as vascular disease, is caused by the accumulation of fat-laden cells in the inner lining of the artery, leading to the formation of plaque. This plaque accumulation narrows the artery, reducing blood flow and setting the stage for a heart attack or stroke.

The earlier you can detect and treat plaque build-up in your arteries, the more likely you can stave off this life-threatening scenario. The problem is, the intravenous ultrasound most doctors currently rely on produces grayscale images that are difficult to interpret. They don't give a clear enough picture of the internal condition of the artery, nor do they reveal the specific kind and density of plaque that's accumulating.

This is vital, potentially lifesaving information for cardiologists, who understand that the presence or absence of different plaque types require different treatments. You simply can't determine the safest, most effective surgery or drug therapy to use based on today's artery ultrasound, or even angiograms or X-rays.

But thanks to this innovative company's miraculous medical technology, you can do all that and more. It's called "intravenous ultrasound"—IVUS for short—and it provides doctors with high-resolution images of blood vessels from inside the artery.

Up to 99% Accurate -- It's Like Seeing Inside Your Arteries!

Incredibly, this technology not only reveals the internal condition and the presence or absence of plaque, it actually reveals the specific kind and density of plaque. In fact, clinical studies show it's 93% to 99% accurate at differentiating the four plaque types, for which different treatments exist.

What's more, these high-tech, high-resolution, color-coded images are far superior to other forms of intravenous ultrasound. But that's not all.

One of the company's other medical marvels is what's known as "functional measurement" (FM) devices. These high-tech instruments measure the pressure and flow characteristics of blood around plaque, allowing doctors to determine plaque's impact on blood flow and pressure.

The company has integrated this and other breakthrough technologies into a suite of hardware and software products it markets to cardiologists, radiologists, and vascular surgeons. Competition is no problem, since this company's technology is far superior to the only other player—and protected by more than 191 U.S. and international patents.

Heads You Win, Tails You Win -- and Rack up Massive Profits Either Way

Free Report:

Since heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in America—with no sign of slowing—it's no surprise that demand for this company's IVUS technology is exploding. Sales, which have raced past $171 million over the last quarter, experienced a whopping 31% growth over last year's same quarter—in spite of the sluggish economy.

But as I mentioned earlier, there's a much bigger reason to snap up this company's stock as fast as you can besides its strong growth prospects. You see, Wall Street is always searching for stellar takeover candidates—and in my opinion, this company is about as stellar as they come.

That's why I think its shares could rise as much as four-fold in the coming months. Either its stock continues its remarkable run higher on its own, or it spikes precipitously higher on news of a buyout. That means if you get in now, you'll position yourself to rack up massive profits either way.

I give you all the details on this blockbuster play in a brand new Special Report I want to rush to you right away with my compliments. This FREE Special Report is called 400% in 9 Months: How to Profit from the Company That's Revolutionizing Medical Technology. It's my way of introducing you to the kind of straight-talking, money-making advice I share with subscribers each month in Forecasts & Strategies.

In your FREE Special Report, I reveal everything you need to know about this amazing medical stock, including its name, trading symbol, and how to buy it through any broker. You'll discover the best share price window to get in at so you maximize your profits. I also explain how to lock in your gains and minimize risk as this stock soars even higher.

Now let me share with you another growth superstar that has plenty of upside ahead. It also boasts a groundbreaking medical technology-- but this technology is enjoying booming demand in China, which remains one of today's hottest and fastest-growing economies. Using my next secret strategy, this stock could make you a fortune in the months ahead…

Secret Strategy #2:
Look for High-Demand Products in Booming Economies
(Like this Chinese Cancer Breakthrough That's Made its Company's Stock Shoot Up as Much as 101% -- With More Upside Ahead!)

A few years ago, I embarked on a fact-finding expedition to China, my first time back since 1989. Since my last visit, I was amazed by all the dramatic changes. On my earlier visit, the streets were packed with bicycles, not cars, and there were few skyscrapers.

That's all changed. Today the streets are clogged with cars, not bicycles. The skylines in its major cities are filled with skyscrapers. And judging by the vast number of construction cranes, the country is obviously booming, partly due to the economy growing at 8% or more annually.

I also noticed something else. The air was dense with smog. The cities seemed wrapped in a toxic gray shroud. And just about everyone I saw was smoking.

In fact, two landmark studies involving 1.25 million Chinese people show China has the largest number of smoking-related deaths in the world. Nearly 2,000 people a day are currently dying of smoking-related causes -- many of them due to cancer of the lungs, liver, and stomach.

These grim statistics are just one reason why the innovative company I'm about to tell you about is perfectly positioned to continue its skyward ascent. Now, I know you've heard a million stories before about amazing cancer treatments, but this company has created a breakthrough technology that's a real step forward in treating this killer disease.

Surging Demand for New Tumor-Zapping
Device Fuels Company's Growth

This new cancer-fighting medical device uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) waves to destroy liver, breast, pancreatic, and other tumors instantly. Unlike radiation, the treatment doesn't cause skin burns, hemorrhaging, or even discomfort. It's so painless, it doesn't even require anesthesia!

But what's really exciting are the results. More than 40,000 patients have already been treated using this cutting-edge tumor-zapping device -- with an amazingly high success rate. And tens of thousands of additional patients are awaiting treatment at this writing.

Because the technology is new, it's mainly been used to treat late-stage cancer patients. Once it becomes commonly accepted as a "front line" treatment, the company's profits will explode.

That day may not be far off. Not only is this new cancer-fighting technology enjoying heavy demand in China, it's now making inroads into Japan, Korea, and the U.S.

Japan and Korea have already approved the company's HIFU tumor therapy systems for the treatment of liver, pancreatic, and uterine cancer. And just last year, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the company's device for use in clinical trials here in the U.S.

The company also sells 2 diagnostic tools, including a revolutionary light-based system that's increasingly used in hospitals across China. This system has been approved by the Chinese equivalent of the FDA for detecting cancer tumors, thyroid disorders, reproductive disorders, diabetes, and severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS.

Thanks to its high success rate and surging demand for its products, the company is growing rapidly. Hospitals throughout China are loading up on its advanced diagnostic system -- sales jumped more than 84% in the most recent quarter over the previous year. That's going directly to the company's bottom line, which is growing by 24% to 51% a year!

Meanwhile, sales of the company's HIFU tumor therapy system continue to climb as well. But as if net revenues advancing 59% and profit margins exceeding 43% aren't sweet enough, the company also recently announced it would pay a dividend with a 2.4% yield -- one of the highest among Chinese companies.

Why the Sky's the Limit with this White-Hot China Play

We've already seen shares of this white-hot Chinese company shoot as much as 101% since I first recommended it to my Forecasts & Strategies subscribers -- and there's still plenty of upside ahead. Even better, the company's shares are still relatively cheap for its industry and in light of its tremendous growth potential.

I've personally met with the company's top management in China and have followed this company since early 2006, and I can tell you... it's got all the makings of a world-class blockbuster.

That's why I've written a Special Report about this highly profitable opportunity I want to get into your hands right away. It's called Wall Street's China Secret EXPOSED -- How to Profit from China's Newest Medical Technology . It details everything you need to know to get on board the China growth train with this fast-growing company.

Wall Street's China Secret EXPOSED
In your FREE Special Report, I answer all the top questions you may have as a potential investor, including exciting new product enhancements under development and the latest details on the company's plan to enter the U.S. market. Plus, I explain how you can easily buy this NASDAQ stock through any U.S. broker, including Charles Schwab or Merrill Lynch.

To truly multiply your portfolio moving forward -- in spite of a roller coaster stock market -- you want to pull together a bevy of high-yielding beauties that pay YOU to own them. Read on to discover the best way to pull off this underused wealth-building strategy...

Secret Strategy #3:
Get Paid the Highest Possible Interest on Your Money -- And Rack Up Gains That Beat Growth Stocks by as Much as 15 Times Over

I recently came across an incredible chart that took my breath away. It reminded me of why I believe the single best strategy for today's investors is investing in dividend-paying stocks.

Just take a look at the chart below. It illustrates the benefits of this secret investment strategy perfectly.

Dividend Paying Stocks Chart

As you can see, dividend-paying stocks outperform non-dividend-paying stocks by a wide margin. Over the past 35 years, non-dividend-paying stocks have gained an average annual return of 2.5%. That's less than T-bills.

But during the same time period, dividend-paying stocks produced an average annual return of between 8.9% and 10.9%. That's a huge difference.

Let's look at it another way. If you invested exclusively in a diversified portfolio of non-dividend-paying stocks (including growth and penny stocks), an investment of $100,000 in 1972 would be worth $240,000 today. Not bad, but not great, either.

Yet if you invested in a diversified portfolio of dividend-paying stocks instead, your $100,000 would be worth a whopping $3,223,000 today -- more than 31 times your original investment. Now that's worth talking about!

But guess what? You could have done even better. That's because if you had invested in a select group of companies that consistently increase their dividends... or owned companies shortly after they began paying dividends for the first time... your $100,000 would be worth a jaw-dropping $4,059,000 today.

Over $4 million! That's more than 39 times what you started with and 15.9 times better than you would have fared with non-dividend-paying stocks.

The Best Way to Multiply Your Portfolio with Minimum Risk

These are the types of companies I steer you to in Forecasts & Strategies. They've been fattening my subscribers' portfolios AND their monthly income for years, without requiring hours of work or research.

Grab the Highest Interest Possible
For example, one of the recommended companies we owned in our portfolio announced its first dividend in December 2005. In little over a month, the company's stock jumped 19%. Another one of our recommended holdings declared its first dividend in June 2007. Within 3 months, its stock shot up 35%!

In your 3rd FREE Special Report, Grab the Highest Interest Possible on Your Money: Income Investments That Beat Stocks, I show you how to earn steady high income, protect your principal, and rack up big capital gains with minimal risk. This in-depth report covers everything from income funds to stock and commodity convertibles to energy and real estate trusts. Here's just a glimpse of what you'll discover:

Now I'll let you in on another favorite strategy for maximizing your profits few investors or brokers even know about. This new investment vehicle virtually eliminates the inherent risks of investing -- and even guarantees you make money! Read on for all the details...

Secret Strategy #4:
Protect Your Portfolio Against Steep Market Declines --
And Guarantee You Make Money Even In Down Markets

While a healthy, once-in-a-while correction is normal, an unexpected steep decline -- like we experienced during the recent financial meltdown -- could leave you scrambling to play catch-up with your portfolio.

The good news is, there's a new investment vehicle that lets you invest your money while guaranteeing you never lose a dime! You can use it to invest in practically any investment category you want: U.S. stocks and bonds, foreign stocks and bonds, energy plays, even emerging markets.

You can switch between these investments any time for maximum profits. And you don't have to worry about taxes, since any taxes on gains are deferred until withdrawal (no, it's not an IRA). Best of all, not only is your principal 100% guaranteed, the money you invest is guaranteed to grow at a minimum of 5% a year until you begin making withdrawals!

How to Eliminate a 60% Decline -- And Grow Four Times Richer Instead

Guaranteed Profits
To see how valuable this guarantee is, suppose you invested $250,000 in 1995 in a U.S. mutual fund. Your investment would have done extremely well and reached $1,029,429 by 2000. Then the dot-com implosion hit, and the market fell sharply. By mid-2006, your account would have fallen to $416,681 -- a 60% drop from the high!

Here's how the situation could have unfolded. Let's say you purchased the investment vehicle I recommend in your 4th FREE Special Report, Guaranteed Profits: How to Always Make Money in Any Market. Look at what happens...

Your $250,000 investment also does extremely well between 1995 and 2000. But during the down years (2000-03), you completely avoid that 60% loss. Instead, your money actually GAINS 7% a year. By mid-2006, your balance grows to $2,054,150 -- leaving you $1,637,469 richer! That's 392% better than you would have fared the other way.

Most investors have never heard of this new type of guaranteed investment vehicle -- but you'll get all the details in your FREE Special Report. This must-have report is available to you now along with up to 6 more FREE reports when you request a 2-year no-risk trial subscription to Forecasts & Strategies.

You'll also discover another little-used peace-of-mind strategy.

You'll get all the details in your FREE report! Click the "Subscribe Now" button below to request yours now.

These strategies can help take as much risk as possible out of the investments you make and protect you from steep market declines. But there's another big threat that can set off an economic downslide and wreak havoc with your portfolio. Fortunately, there's an easy way to keep your money safe and growing in case disaster strikes.

Secret Strategy #5:
Create Your Own Anti-Terrorist Portfolio (and Keep Your Money Safe While Growing 2½ Times Faster than the S&P 500!)

Many people think the war on terrorism is more important than ever to protecting America's freedom and way of life. But, sending troops and fighting a war in faraway lands is only a short-term solution. Real, permanent peace can only be achieved by bringing economic freedom to repressed countries where terrorism and poverty go hand-in-hand.

The Middle East has been crippled by constant war, corruption, inflation, black markets, protectionism, and political turmoil on a grand scale. So it's no surprise this region is a major source of radicalism today.

That's because economic repression breeds intolerance, fanaticism, and terrorism. A good dose of open markets, limited government, low taxes, and competition could go a long way toward bringing peace, prosperity, and good will to this dangerous part of the world.

Until that happens, there will likely be a prolonged war against terrorism. That's why I recommend hedging against economic and market turmoil in the event of future cataclysms and disruptions. Putting together your own anti-terrorist portfolio is a good first step that will help you sleep better at night.

The Select Investment Mix That Lets You Profit in Good Times and Bad

The Ultimate Anti-Terrorist Portfolio

The select handful of investments I recommend in your 5th FREE Special Report, The Ultimate Anti-Terrorist Portfolio, don't just give you a solid hedge in times of crisis and uncertainty. They're also terrific investments purely on their own merits.

My preferred mix includes income investments, commodities, precious metals, defense company stocks, and other select stocks that tend to hold up better than the rest of the market under adverse economic conditions. Even in good times, they can outperform the major market indexes. During 2007, my anti-terrorist portfolio racked up a 12.22% total return, while the S&P 500 returned just 3.53% and the Dow went up 6.43%.

In your FREE Special Report, I reveal what these 5 rock-solid, top-performing, anti-terrorism investments are. Here's what you'll discover...

An ironclad bond fund that protects against the surging inflation that comes with war -- while paying you a healthy yield to boot!
A commodity index fund with a track record of outperforming traditional equities and debt during tough times. 5-year average annual return: UP 13.49%!
The perfect precious metals fund that lets you profit from soaring prices for gold, silver, platinum bullion coins, and rare gold coins. 5-year average annual return: UP 35.75%!
A top-performing defense fund that's rated five stars by Morningstar. Gives you an instant position in the biggest U.S. defense companies. 5-year average annual return: UP 17.2%!
A rock-solid mutual fund that profits from smoking, gambling, and drinking -- all of which tend to increase in times of crisis. These stocks outperform the rest of the market when the economy gets shaky. Just over the past 3 years, this fund produced an average annual return of 19.28%!

Secret Strategy #6:
Profit From Capitalism -- And Get Paid Fat Dividends
While Growing Your Money 15 to 30% a Year!

Buzz among the investment pros I network with regularly is featuring a little-known area of the financial services sector called business development companies (BDCs). Some of the top BDCs have rewarded investors with 15% to 30% annualized returns over the past 10 years, with yields averaging 7% to 8%.

In your 6th FREE Special Report,The Best Kept Secret on Wall Street, I reveal the 2 best BDCs to invest in now. First off, I tell you about a conservative way to profit from Canada's strong economy, appreciating dollar, and risk-averse lending practices. One of Canada's best-managed and fastest-rising financial stocks, this BDC has become the country's largest non-bank, asset-backed lender to the real estate and natural resource sectors.

Report

Buy These Stocks On The Cheap And
Rack Up Juicy Yields As High As 10%

One of the main drivers fueling the company's growth is soaring demand for natural resources in countries such as China, Russia, Brazil, and India. The company is also benefiting from the falling U.S. dollar, which has played a role in the latest jump in commodity prices.

But one of the biggest reasons smart investors are snapping up this company's stock is a recent change in its status to a mortgage investment corporation. This change in tax status shields the company from paying taxes as long as all of its net profits are paid to shareholders as dividends.

That means it will likely double its dividend to produce a juicy yield of around 7-8% in the near future! Yet its shares are still selling at bargain prices. In your FREE Special Report, The Best Kept Secret on Wall Street, I give you all the details on how to get in now.

I also tell you about another BDC that's paying even fatter dividends to its shareholders. This U.S.-based company is a fully developed lending company that's on a growth spurt as more banks pull back from lending. With no exposure to home building or home mortgages, the company is a plum pick right now -- and pays nearly 10% in annual dividends.

Shares of both of these BDCs are off 20% or more due to the housing slump and recession fears, so you can buy them on the cheap if you act now. You'll get all the details on how to play them in your FREE report, available to you now with your 2-year no-risk trial subscription to Forecasts & Strategies.

Secret Strategy #7:
Preserve Your Investment Capital (or What You can Learn
From the "Babe Ruth" of Endowment Fund Managers)

As Steve Forbes says, "Everyone is a long-term investor until a bear market hits." But there's a powerful way to stay invested in the stock market and make money consistently, even during so-called "bad" years like 2000-03. It's a technique I've used successfully for the past five years that really works!

This technique is called "Non-Correlated Dividend Investing" and it's a way of scientifically allocating your assets to maximize your returns. One of the best examples of how this technique can be used effectively is to look at Yale University's burgeoning endowment fund.

Under the leadership of David F. Swensen, Yale's investments blossomed from $6 billion to $22.5 billion, returning an annualized profit of 18% during the past 10 years. This included the difficult 2000-03 bear market, during which Yale's endowment fund did not suffer a single down year.

9 More Secret Strategies
For calendar year 2007 -- in which the Dow returned 6.3% and the S&P 500 posted a 3.65% gain -- Yale's endowment fund soared a whopping 28%. It's no wonder Swensen is now considered the "Babe Ruth" of endowment fund managers!

In your FREE Fast-Response Bonus Report, 9 More Secret Strategies to Building Wealth, I tell you how to use this technique to preserve your investment capital and produce superior market returns. The same strategy Swensen has used to run Yale's endowment fund can also work for your own 401(k), IRA, or other tax-deferred retirement savings.

You'll discover the six asset classes you should use to diversify your retirement funds -- including one often-overlooked option that protects your future buying power from being eaten away by inflation. Plus I also reveal the best "old money" investment you can make right now... why you should dump your term life insurance -- and the type of policy you should buy instead... and tell you about a new credit card that boosts your wealth every time you use it.

An Inside Track That Keeps You One Step Ahead for Maximum Profits

As a new subscriber to Forecasts & Strategies, you'll soon discover I have a perspective on the economy and the markets you won't find anywhere else. I'm one of the few investment newsletter advisors with a Ph.D. in Economics -- and the only one I know of with CIA experience.

That means I've been trained to weed out information that no one else has in their arsenal. I use these techniques to regularly pick the brains of a large network of investment insiders, like Jeremy Siegel, the financial genius known as the "Wizard of Wharton" and author of the best-selling classic, Stocks for the Long Run...

... prominent economists like Robert Shiller and Paul Krugman...

... worldly philosophers like Jimmy Rogers, co-founder with George Soros of the highly successful Quantum Fund...

... financial commentators like Larry Kudlow of CNBC...

... top investment advisors like Doug Fabian -- a leading ETF expert, and Nicholas Vardy -- the global guru...

... and many others.

I also pick up new ideas and insights from talking with top brokers and mutual fund managers, speaking at and attending a wide variety of investment conferences around the world, and constantly feeding my voracious reading habit.

Thanks to this inside track, I've been able to alert my Forecasts & Strategies subscribers to virtually every major market move over the last 28 years -- from the stock market crash in 1987 to the dot-com collapse in 2000. With this kind of performance record -- longer and more accurate than just about any other financial advisory -- you can feel confident I'll help you keep your money safe and growing in any kind of market.
