But this unprecedented offer expires at precisely
11:59 p.m. on December 31, 2009.

  Please read on to get the full details...

Dear Fellow Investor,

I confess, it came as a surprise even to me.

Not the fact that I've had a winning track record. Without one, I'd be out of business. Just like the legions of "emperors-with-no-clothes" investment advisors who were blindsided by the 2008 market crash, taking their trusting subscribers down with them.

Let's face it: when you're not only surviving, but thriving in an investment climate like today's, you know it's for one reason alone: you've been right a lot more often than you've been wrong.

So, no, it wasn't just the fact of my recent success that took me by surprise. It was the sheer, mind-boggling scope of it -- 198 double and triple-digit winners in the past 3 years (including 53 double-and triple-digit winners in 2008 while the markets were crashing!).

That's right. In a mere 36 months, through the most hair-raising roller coaster ride in market history, my three trading services -- High-Income Alert, Turnaround Trader, and Hedge Fund Trader -- have steered investors to 144 investments returning profits of 10% or more, and an astonishing 54 investments returning profits of 100% or more.

It is because of this great success in each of my services that I created something called the "Winner's Circle" -- an exclusive investment club meant to attract ONLY the "crème de la crème" of today's smartest, most highly motivated investors.

To attract such an elite class of investors, I made one of the biggest, boldest promises I've ever made...

I promised to deliver new members a minimum of 20 triple-digit winners within 20 months of joining -- or their entire one-time membership fee would be refunded in full.

And it turns out, that promise paid off for my charter members...

Charter members of the Winner's Circle had the opportunity to rake in 29 triple-digit winners during the first 20 months we offered this unprecedented guarantee. That's 9 more triple-digit winners than we originally promised

And our success has continued.  If you had taken me up on my guarantee in 2008 you would have been sitting on 23 triple-digit winners right now!

So what does this have to do with you?

I have spent thousands on advisory newsletters. Never have I had a service that produced any kind of return on my investement until I found your Skousen Hedge Fund Trader. Thank you, I do not make a move until you tell me to -- and it is paying off many times over. --

-- W. Chihak

Today, I'm pleased to announce that for a very limited time I am renewing my unprecedented 20/20 guarantee for new members of the Winner's Circle. When you join America's most exclusive investment club, you are GUARANTEED to get the opportunity to profit from at least 20 triple-digit winners in the next 20 months (and if history is any indicator, you'll likely get more than 20)!

But there is a catch...

You must confirm your membership by 11:59pm, Thursday, December 31, 2009 to take advantage of this special guaranteed offer.

Nowhere else will you receive an ironclad guarantee to give you the opportunity at 20 triple-digit winners...

But before I explain how you can take advantage of this amazing opportunity, I want you to pause for a moment, take hard look at yourself, and answer this one question...

Are You Ready to Enter the Elite Ranks of
America's Smartest, Most Successful Investors?

Take your time answering -- because, truthfully, very few people are.

The fact is, the vast majority of investors have relatively modest ambitions. They want to provide for their families, live comfortably in retirement, and enjoy a few of life's more expensive luxuries.

Which, for most of them, is just as it should be. Their goals and priorities in life require a certain level of comfort and financial security -- and no more. And I consider it my privilege to help them attain it.

But there's another, more exclusive group of investors who, for reasons known only to themselves, want much more.

Now, if you happen to be the first kind of investor, let me say I am honored to serve you through whichever of my investment advisories you currently subscribe to. But the following message really is not for you, and you might wish to stop reading now.

If, however, you're the second kind of investor -- the kind who yearns for the rewards, opportunities and satisfactions that only truly great wealth can bring -- then what follows is, quite possibly...

The Most Important Invitation
You Could Ever Receive

Congratulations. I say that because, by venturing to read this far, you've demonstrated that you have the desire and determination to migrate from ordinary financial success to truly extraordinary wealth.

And you've also taken an important step towards joining one of the most exclusive financial associations in modern history -- one that could vault you into the ranks of America's master investors.

These are the people capable of much more than a few highly profitable trades each year. They're the ones who can bank tens or hundreds of thousands -- even millions -- in profits within a few short weeks or months.

What sets them apart from other successful investors?

I am a fairly new sub- scriber and have been allocating $20,000 per pick with the recommended options. Currently, my total profit is over $104,000...

--C. Munson

Not time. Believe it or not, they don't spend significantly more time on their investments than you probably do now -- possibly less.

Information, then? Yes, to a degree -- they certainly know how to acquire valuable information that less successful investors don't. But that's more because they know where to look for it, and how to evaluate it, than because of some sort of mysterious "insider" access.

But that know-how itself has deeper roots -- in the one thing that truly sets them apart: understanding.

Yes, these are the investors who see the world of money and investing as a whole, in three dimensions, in all its complex internal relationships -- as well as in relation to external factors like geopolitics. They instantly grasp how events that may negatively impact one kind of investment will positively impact another. Where others see crisis or even catastrophe, they see opportunity.

For them, in short, there's always a bull market in something, somewhere, even in the worst of circumstances -- and they know how to find it.

How did they acquire such superior wisdom? Not through specialized training or education. You'd be surprised, in fact, at how many of these fabulously wealthy investors -- people with hundreds of millions, even billions, of net worth -- never went to college. Or dropped out of high school. Or failed in business -- some more than once.

What they did have was (1) a genuine curiosity about how the world of money and investing works, and (2) a burning desire to make that knowledge work for them.

These, my friend, are the people whose elite ranks I am now inviting you to join.

Introducing the Winner's Circle,
America's Elite Moneymaking Club

The Winner's Circle is a limited-membership coalition of highly motivated investors seeking the skills, tools and information necessary to attain the very highest level of investment success -- the kind that allows them to live life wherever and however they want.

This is not, I hasten to add, an association of high-rolling gamblers with money to burn. Our members are, every one of them, responsible men and women who wish to harness the laws of economics in their favor -- not put themselves and their loved ones at the mercy of guesswork and chance.

Yes, they can withstand a loss here and there -- but only as the occasional bump on the road to riches. (It isn't called the Winner's Circle for nothing.)

As a member, you'll be entitled to an array of up-to-the-minute information, in-depth analysis and expert guidance available only to you and your fellow members.

This begins -- and I emphasize "begins" -- with my trading services -- the High-Income Alert, Hedge Fund Trader, and the Turnaround Trader -- all three of which you will receive as part of an integrated investment advisory service. Plus, you'll receive my award-winning investment newsletter, Forecasts & Strategies.

In other words, as a Winner's Circle member you will get every shred of information I have to offer on stocks and other investments, both here and abroad, that could triple or quadruple your portfolio.

Sound interesting? Then let me tell you a little more about the elite circles you'll soon be entering -- and the extraordinary benefits that will soon be coming your way.

The One Immutable Law of Great Wealth

One of the biggest clichés about investing is that it's all about taking risks.

Baloney. As master investor Warren Buffett once said, "Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing."

In other words, you don't get rich by taking risks -- you get rich by minimizing risks.

Which brings me to a key part of the Winner's Circle investment strategy that is a little less glamorous than reaping double- and triple-digit gains, but every bit as important.

You see, it doesn't really do you any good to reap big profits in the future if you can't afford to live comfortably in the present.

And after all, if you don't have the money to pay your bills today, what money will you use to invest for tomorrow?

Mark Skousen is an able, imaginative and energentic economist. A firm supporter of free markets, Dr. Skousen has written extensively on how they work and the obstacles they face.

-- Milton Friedman
Nobel laureate in economics

And let's face it -- it's just no fun being an investor if you're always looking to the future. You want to be able to live well now -- enjoying luxuries like dining out, good wines, adventure travel, and so forth.

So, like all master investors, we in the Winner's Circle believe that a substantial portion of our investment portfolio must be aimed at one, and only one thing...

Getting paid now.

How do you do it? With investments that combine high income with great short-term appreciation potential, an area I've specialized in for more than 29 years.

This way you have the opportunity to lock in quick gains of 30%... 50%... 70%... or more -- on top of big dividend payments. And even on those rare occasions when an investment just sits there, the income keeps piling up.

By taking advantage of alternative income investments like these -- and only participating when they're trading at deep discounts -- you can assure yourself big dividend and interest payments today... and plenty of potential capital appreciation tomorrow.

And that's the whole idea behind my High-Income Alert -- the first of three trading services that come to you with membership in the Winner's Circle.

The way it works is simple. I scour the world financial markets every day in search of short-term, high-paying trading opportunities. And we have to move fast.

There's not enough time for printing and mailing with these situations. Opportunities often come and go quickly. So instead I write up each high-income trading opportunity just as soon as I have the facts in my hand. And then I blast it out to you -- by e-mail or fax -- immediately.

There is no exact timetable for these alerts. Sometimes opportunities will come fast and furious, others less frequently. But you will always receive at least one High-Income Alert per week, either detailing a new opportunity or updating you on our existing ones.

All of these investments have excellent short-term gains potential. And all of them are paying us a potful of money. Not next year. Not in three years. But now, today.

Rest assured, my high-income/growth strategy is designed to work in both bull and bear markets. That's because it isn't the least bit dependent on what's happening with the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

But the proof, of course, is in the pudding.

I'll stack our track record up against anyone in the business. Since the High-Income Alert was launched in 2004, our average rate of return is 20.67% per trade... and our options trades have been even better -- delivering returns of 42.59% per closed position.

High-Income Alert is the first of what I call the "core" benefits of Winner's Circle membership. Let me turn now to the second...

Where Master Investors Put Their Money
When No One Else is Looking

"Men can always be blind to a thing," G.K. Chesterton once wrote, "so long as it is big enough."

In other words, people tend to overlook the obvious. It's a principle that holds particularly true in investing.

Why? Because most investors are so intent on ferreting out the Next Big Thing, they completely ignore whatever they regard as Yesterday's News.

And nothing seems more outdated -- or is therefore more easily ignored -- than once-great stocks that have fallen out of favor and lost a painful amount of their value.

Yet, that's exactly when master investors see a potential killing. The key to success, of course, is targeting the stocks that will recover when no one is looking.

We call these "turnaround plays."

After all, everyone loves a great comeback story -- whether it's the Red Sox overcoming a three-game deficit to beat the Yanks, or down-and-out boxer Rocky Balboa going the distance with world champion Apollo Creed.

And in the stock market, few things are more profitable than finding a stock on the cusp of its own massive turnaround. After all, many fortunes are made by investors who successfully buy great businesses:

  • During times of maximum pessimism
  • While they're being ignored and forgotten, or
  • When they're beaten down to bargain-basement levels
And here's why there's no better time for turnarounds plays than RIGHT NOW...
There's nothing like a severe market downturn to drive out-of-favor stocks even lower -- creating dozens of great turnaround opportunities with huge upside potential. And there's nothing like a recovering market -- like the one we're in right now -- to take advantage of those opportunities for super-fast, super-sized profits.

As a member of the Winner's Circle, you'll not only learn the secrets of "turnaround trading," you'll receive specific buying and selling recommendations -- all from Turnaround Trader, one of three premium advisory services with speed-of-light e-mail delivery that come with Winner's Circle membership.

 

As a member of the , you'll not only learn the secrets of "turnaround trading," you'll receive specific buying and selling recommendations -- all from , one of three premium advisory services with speed-of-light e-mail delivery that come with membership.

Turnaround Trader specifically targets plays for fast, high-return profits. That's how it captured 69 double- and triple-digit gains in just 39 months, including:

  • 146% profits with Urban Outfitters in 9 weeks
  • 333% profits with Garmin in 9 weeks
  • 242% profits with Apartment Investment & Management in just 3 weeks
  • 311% profits with Corning in just 5 weeks
  • 117% profits with American Oriental Bioengineering in 9 weeks

Thank you for helping me
profit in the stock market.
Your in-depth analysis of the companies' stocks and your profit protective "stop limits" were invaluable... I couldn't have done this without you.

-- J. Turk

Those are the actual profits my aggressive subscribers made with their call options.

But my conservative subscribers did very well, too -- 42% profits on American Oriental Bioengineering, 32% gains on Urban Outfitters, 29% profits on Garmin, plus 31% profits on Apartment Investment & Management all in a matter of weeks.

These gains were scored from beaten down stocks. Some of them had lost 50% or more of their share value before we recommended them.

Let me give you just one example of how this simple but powerful secret of investing works...

Earlier this year, the world's leading supplier of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) for computer monitors and flat panel TVs, tech giant Corning Inc. was staring into the abyss. Naturally, demand for LCDs had fallen with the global economic slowdown. In the fourth quarter of 2008 alone, Corning's revenue dropped 31% and its profits slid 65%.

But not all of Corning's woes could be blamed on the economy. In a word, the company had lost discipline. Together, slowing demand for its products and the company's internal problems put a double-whammy on the stock price, knocking it down 61% -- to a bargain-lover's level of only three times last year's earnings.

That's when I spotted signs of an impending turnaround -- and emailed an urgent "buy" alert to my subscribers.

For one thing, I had discovered that Corning was in a unique position to profit from the U.S. government's move requiring TV broadcasters to convert from analog to digital signals this year. Although forecasts called for TV sales to dip overall, sales of digital LCD sets were expected to rise -- and Corning supplies the glass for more than half of LCDs.

My research also told me that Corning was making significant moves to correct its internal problems -- initiating restructuring plans to save up to $200 million in costs, while cutting 3,500 jobs, suspending merit pay raises, and consolidating operations.

Finally, I was convinced that Corning's turnaround would coincide with a strong market rally -- sending it even higher and faster than it could have gone on its own.

I was right. As markets turned upward and Corning announced better-than-expected first-quarter profits, its stock took off...

... and Turnaround Trader subscribers walked away with 50% profits on the stock in just 63 days, and an average of 384% on the options in just 36 days.

To put that in dollars and cents, if you'd invested just $10,000 in the call options, you'd have walked away with a whopping $41,100 in just five weeks!

How do I make calls like these? 

 

First, as a critical part of my research, I keep an eye on well-known turnaround artists like Charles Conaway, Jim Rogers, Carl Icahn, KKR, FBR, Steve Jobs, Rupert Murdoch,

Gordon Bethune, Ted Forstman, and Lou Gerstner. Where these legends are sniffing around there is often real money to be made.

And, my Turnaround Trader service focuses not just on the fundamentals but the captain who is navigating the ship -- the emerging "turnaround CEOs" only the insiders know.

Timing is critical to successful turnaround plays, of course. And when the time is right, I make the call and send it immediately to you. Each Turnaround Trader alerts you to:

  • My concise report on the vital statistics behind each turnaround play, with an executive overview of the facts and the story behind each situation
  • Explicit, crystal clear instructions on "buy" and "sell" points to execute online or read to your broker
  • A full recap of all open plays

You will always receive at least one trading alert per week from me, either detailing a new turnaround opportunity or updating you on our existing ones. I will only make a new call when the situation is ripe for picking.

I maintain a portfolio of 5 to 8 active turnaround plays at any one time, concentrating our resources for maximum return and minimum exposure.

Turnaround Trader is the second of what I call the "core" benefits of Winner's Circle membership. Let me turn now to the third and in many ways, most powerful one...

How to Invest Like a Billionaire
Without Actually Being One... Yet

So far we've covered two essential components of our Winner's Circle investment strategy: "getting paid now" (High-Income Alert), and finding incredible value where no one else is looking (Turnaround Trader).

Now, I'd like to tell you about the most ingenious part of our strategy -- the one that enables you to invest like a billionaire without actually being one (though you just might get there someday by using these principles).

You see, over the past few years, an elite group of investors has earned blockbuster returns in the world of hedge funds -- turning many of them into multi-millionaires and, yes, even billionaires.

Now, if all you know about hedge funds can be summed up in the two words "Bernard Madoff," let me set you straight about one thing. For every rotten egg like Madoff, there are scores of straight-arrow, high-performing funds that have returned real profits to their investors that would make your eyes pop.

Take the Trophy Fund, for example. This fund rose 437% over three years, while the S&P 500 eked out a small gain.

Then there's Prosperity Quest. This fund skyrocketed 3,477% since it opened in December of 1999, including a period that was one of the most savage bear markets since the Great Depression.

The Aggressive Appreciation 100 Fund rose 63% in a single month. The Zazove Aggressive Growth Fund rose 148.7% in a 12-month period when the S&P 500 was down. And the Welch Life Sciences Fund rose 311.5% during the recent 3-year bear market.

How do they do it?

Well, briefly put, hedge funds are almost infinitely flexible and can do things mutual fund managers can only dream about. They can buy stocks... or bonds... or commodities... or real estate trusts... or precious metals. They can go long or short... or follow any trend.

Hedge funds also have the freedom to invest in any market anywhere in the world.

It's this endless flexibility -- and the profitability that comes with it -- that has always attracted the world's richest investors. And it's this ability to profit from virtually anything, trending up or down, that allows unique trading opportunities.

Now, before you get too excited about hedge funds, here's a bit of bad news: unless you're already rich, Uncle Sam won't let you invest in one...

You see, hedge funds don't register with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), so the U.S. government prevents you from investing in them unless you can prove you're an "accredited investor." (That means you must have a net worth of more than $1.5 million, or income in excess of $200,000 in each of the last two years.)

But here's the good news. You don't need to actually invest in an offshore hedge fund to enjoy the fabulous short-term profits they offer to investors.

But you do have to think like a hedge fund manager and -- at times -- invest like one.

And that's the idea behind our Hedge Fund Trader investing service -- another core benefit of membership in the Winner's Circle. And while it may make you a multi-millionaire, you don't have to be one to get started.

In short, with Hedge Fund Trader, it's as if you're creating your own custom-made, private hedge fund -- profiting in both bull and bear markets, using the same proven techniques as the world's top hedgers.

Again, the proof is in the pudding. Hedge Fund Trader has scored 133 double and triple-digit gains in just under 6 years.

And even while the market has been on a roller coaster for the last few years, we've locked in double- and triple-digit gains with almost monotonous regularity. And we've been using a whole arsenal of weapons to capture the market's very best profits.

For example, when Apple conquered the digital music world with its iPod music player, we were there
-- and locked in a 155% profit in just over five months.

I also recommended a company called Collector's Universe to my subscribers. I knew the business. I knew the management. And I knew the potential was huge.

We took a 453% gain in 14 months .

I sent a special alert to subscribers telling them to expect a buy-out of Canadian oil and gas producer, PetroKazakhstan. The next month we sold our shares on news of a buyout. Our gain? 42% in just 6 weeks and 223% on the calls.

As the market ventured further into bear market territory, we locked in double-digit gains in stocks like Visa, Yanzhou Coal, ING Group, Sadia, and Suncor Energy.

(After all, there's always a bull market somewhere.)

Many of our returns have been truly exceptional. We've locked in gains of 146% in 7 days, 182% in 2 weeks, 213% in 10 weeks, 328% in 9 days, 360% in 3 months, 420% in 5 weeks, 422% in 10 weeks, and 510% in 3 months.

With Hedge Fund Trader, you'll receive my very best trading ideas every week -- by e-mail or fax -- so that you can enjoy the same fabulous short-term results as the world's top hedge funds.

More importantly, with every pick you'll have both a conservative way and an aggressive way to take advantage of the opportunity. You can enjoy safe high returns... or spectacular higher-risk returns. The choice is yours.

To summarize, Hedge Fund Trader shows you how you can simply and easily capture the same fabulous returns of world-class hedge funds, without any of the hassle, red tape or high minimums required to own these funds.

That means you can look forward to:

  • Big profits in both up and down markets.
  • Gains generated independent of what the broad market is doing.
  • Sudden volatility helping -- instead of hurting -- your portfolio.
  • Double- and triple-digit returns in a matter of weeks. . . and sometimes days.

In the process, you'll build a legacy of lasting wealth -- safely and securely -- just like the richest families in America.

A Quick Word About My #1 Rule...

In everything I've said so far, I hope I haven't given you the wrong impression. Not all of our trades have been winners.

But here's the thing. In all our trading services, we cut short any losses immediately. I always recommend using sell stops to protect both your principal and your profits.

My #1 rule is "never let a small loss turn into an unacceptably large loss." And we have consistently beaten the market over time -- and by a substantial margin.

This, quite frankly, is how millionaires and billionaires are made.

The Secret of Anticipating
Major Market Trends and Turns

Before I get to some of the additional benefits of membership in the Winner's Circle, I want to cover briefly the last -- and in many ways the most important -- of what I call the "core" benefits.

These are the benefits that, taken together, add up to a comprehensive, fully integrated investment strategy that will put you light-years ahead of ordinary investors -- and equip you to pocket enormous profits in the weeks, months and years to come.

But by way of introduction to this final "core" benefit, I'd like to ask you the following question...

Can you name a single investment newsletter that has been around for more than a quarter-century?

...I belong to both the Hedge Fund Trader and The High-Income Alert and I am pleaseed with both of them. These two services are the best out there, bar none! I got beat up pretty bad in the stock market...but thanks to [you] I am recovering everything I lost and then some. I will be a faithfull subscriber forever.

-- G. Andre

I myself know of only a few. One of them is my own (Forecasts & Strategies). I started writing it in 1980 -- and today it's still going gangbusters, while literally hundreds of rival investment newsletters have long since bitten the dust.

Whereas other investment newsletters have made one or two correct calls about market shifts, I have correctly called virtually every major market shift for more than 28 years.

But here's the other key advantage of Forecasts & Strategies -- which, as you might have guessed by now, is the final core Winner's Circle benefit I've been alluding to.

Forecasts & Strategies does much more than provide investors with money-making tips on where, when and how to invest their money. It also teaches them how to think like master investors.

In other words, Forecasts & Strategies is where, more than anywhere else, I provide the overall understanding of market dynamics and the laws of economics which, at the outset of this letter, I identified as the distinguishing quality of the greatest investors.

My analysis is based on the Austrian school of economics. (A recent cover story in The Economist described how the boom-bust cycles of the late 1990s and early 2000s -- which climaxed in today's financial crisis -- can only be understood by the Austrian economics model.)

Think of it this way: Forecasts & Strategies gives you the calm, "big picture" perspective from which you can confidently make the rapid-fire, day-to-day investment decisions based on the information that comes from Turnaround Trader, High-Income Alert and Hedge-Fund Trader.

So there you have it: the four "core" benefits of membership in the Winner's Circle.

But like they say in those late-night TV commercials, "Wait"! There's more!"

A Tight-Knit Community
of Highly Motivated Investors

I said earlier that access to my four investment advisories (the three trading services and my Forecasts & Strategies newsletter) were "just the beginning" of Winner's Circle benefits... and I meant it.

In fact, I'll go so far as to say that the additional benefits I'm about to outline will be even more valuable to you than the "core" benefits I've already detailed.

Our aim is to develop a creative synergy among all the Winner's Circle members -- so that our club is truly a place where ideas can be suggested, critiqued, improved upon, and used profitably by a privileged few.

Among the extraordinary "extra" benefits I'm talking about...

  • 50% Off FreedomFest, My Annual Conference -- Come join me at my annual festival where "free minds meet" to celebrate "great books, great ideas, and great thinkers" in a liberal, open-minded society. And you'll be able to take part in Skousen's CAFÉ, a 3-day investment seminar with the "best and brightest" financial writers and money managers in the country.

  • Every Skousen "Special Report" on the latest money-making investment picks and money-making strategies -- We offer these Special Reports as premiums for new subscriptions and renewals to our advisories -- but we'll e-mail them to you as soon as they're completed so you can be the first to take advantage.

  • Immediate, FREE access to online videos of all my presentations at the Money Show, the investment conference hosted in various U.S. cities roughly four times a year.

  • A members-only e-mail address through which you can contact me directly with confidential questions, suggestions, even criticisms. (One-on-one investment advice is forbidden by law, however.)

So, Add up All the Benefits...

... and I think you'll agree that I wasn't exaggerating when I said this was quite possibly the most important invitation you'll receive in your lifetime.

What would you expect to pay for a club membership with so many extraordinarily valuable benefits?

Well, let's do the math. (And be ready for a surprise.)

Individually, each of my three trading services cost $1,250 per year.

So, ordinarily, to get all three together, it would cost you $3,750 per year.

Then there's Forecasts & Strategies -- $249/yr. Add that to the cost of the three trading services, and we're up to $3,999 per year in subscription fees.

But remember, those are just the "core" benefits. There is also the 50% discount to FreedomFest celebrations. . . all of the Skousen Special Reports. . . the free online access to videos of my Money Show presentations. . . and all the rest.

It's hard to put a price on all those "extras," but let's say they're worth another $1,000 per year. (I consider that a very conservative valuation, by the way.)

So add the value of the "core" benefits to that of additional benefits, and now we're up to a total of $4,999.

And that's for just one year. Let's just say you wanted all those benefits for longer terms, such as 2 years... the total would be $9,998, 5 years... $24,995, 10 years... $49,990.

And that's without even factoring future price increases due to inflation.

In any case, you get the picture. Add it all up, especially over the long term, and you're talking about very serious money.

... I love the peace of mind and confidence your service has given me, and I'm glad I joined up with you. The 75% return your advice has garnered has permitted me to purchase my wife the wedding ring of her dreams without me ever touching my capital.

-- J. Boyd

Now, here's the surprise. If you accept my invitation to join the Winner's Circle today, you'll get each and every one of the benefits I've spoken about for only $4,995 (an immediate $455 savings off the full price of $5,450).

And get this. The price I've just quoted you doesn't buy you just one year of Winner's Circle membership... or two years... or five years... or ten... or even twenty.

No, this one-time initiation fee gets you into the Winner's Circle for life.

That's right. Once you join the Winner's Circle, you get every single investment advisory I've discussed in this letter (along with all the other benefits I mentioned) for as long as we publish them. Your only further financial obligation will be your annual $199 maintenance fee.

And you get all of that -- for life -- for less than the cost of one year of those services and benefits purchased piecemeal.

Of course, you'll also receive a prorated refund for any of my services that you currently receive, so you will end up paying even less.

And not only that, you'll even be able to pass on your Winner's Circle membership to your heirs.

That's right, your Winner's Circle membership comes with full bequeathal rights to a member of your immediate family.

That means your family will have the support and guidance of the Winner's Circle to help them build wealth security over their lifetimes.

Oops. I Left One Thing Out.

Can you guess what that is? Of course, it's the potentially enormous financial value of the specific investment tips, ideas and strategies that will be coming to you week in, week out for as long as you live.

I won't try to calculate that out -- we've done enough math for one letter. But I'm sure you can see that even a sum as small as $10,000 can become a small fortune -- or a very large one -- if wisely invested over time.

That's why I don't hesitate to say that, by joining the Winner's Circle, you could very well be taking a major step towards membership in the ranks of America's multimillionaires... and even, someday, billionaires.

But I don't expect you to take that on faith. So allow me to reiterate in greater detail the "20/20" guarantee I mentioned in the beginning of this letter...

My Ironclad Pledge: 20 Triple-Digit Winners
in 20 Months — Guaranteed

You read that right.

If you join the Winner's Circle today, I'm promising to deliver you no fewer than 20 investment picks (including options) that each make gains of 100% or more in 20 months.

Does that seem over the top? Sure -- for most investment advisors.

But with 196 double- and triple-digit winners in just the past three years I'm confident that I can not only meet, but exceed that promise.

After all, I'm not promising anything that my investment services haven't already produced.

And if for some reason I should fail?

Simple. Just ask for your money back -- and we'll give it to you. Every penny.

You Must Act Immediately —
the Doors Close December 31

To preserve the extraordinarily high value of belonging to the Winner's Circle, we are only opening the doors to a select group of people until the end of this year.

The doors will close at 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 2009. And once the doors close, your window of opportunity slams shut at least until the end of the year.

Enrollments will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. No exceptions to this rule will be made. (But if you do miss the cut, we'll add you to our waiting list.)

Accordingly, if you are hoping to become a member of the Winner's Circle, I can't urge you strongly enough click the "Subscribe Now" button below to sign up today.

For even faster service, you can call our toll-free number at 1-800-933-9205.

If, on the other hand, you are hesitant about joining, then -- again -- I urge you to consider carefully whether the world of highly-motivated investors is one in which you would feel comfortable.

Still, I understand that this decision is far too important to make in a frivolous way. And to ease any anxiety that you may have, let me add this additional guarantee:

If you change your mind within 60 days of joining, we will refund every penny of your initiation fee.

But let me reiterate: Once the clock strikes 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 2009, the doors will be closed. No exceptions.

So again, if you are interested in joining the Winner's Circle, I urge you to act immediately and click the "Subscribe Now" button below, or call us toll-free at 1-800-933-9205.
