It’s the #1 question on just about everybody’s mind now:
“What should I be doing to protect my wealth in case the government defaults or is downgraded? And what’s the best way to turn the drama into dramatic profits?”
I’ll give you my answers to these all-important questions in this special gala edition right now.
I’ll also give you a preview of the little-known but powerful investments I’m set to recommend to help my readers profit from this situation.
They are more flexible … more diverse, and … more powerful than any other. Plus, in one sense, they are also safer!
I am NOT talking about buying ETFs. Nor am I talking about trading commodity futures. Or shorting stocks. Or about options on this or that company.
To me, the often overlooked investment vehicles I’m going to tell you about today are far superior:
They offer you virtually unlimited profit potential — the ability to pay you $10 … $50 … up to $100 for every ONE dollar other investors earn.
They give you the flexibility to go for gains in any major asset class in the world — stocks, precious metals, commodities, bonds and even foreign currencies …
What’s more, they can consistently multiply your money …
Even if the markets ahead are the worst ever …
Even if you don’t have a lot of money to begin with …
Even if you don’t get it right more than half the time.
I know all this sounds too good to be true. But if you’re feeling a bit skeptical, that’s a good thing. In fact, the vast majority of the investors I talk to have no idea that this remarkable money-making tool even exists.
But as you’ll soon see, it DOES exist.
And not only that, I am getting ready to use these remarkable investments right now to turn the lemons we’ve been handed by Washington into lemonade.
I’m talking about the threat of plunging bank stocks — crippled by the slowing economy and by the likelihood of historic downgrade of Washington’s credit rating.
And I’m also talking about the explosion in food, gold and other tangible assets, triggered by the Federal Reserve’s out-of-control money printing.
So what’s the best way to harness the massive money-making potential of these two megatrends?
Well, you could use exchange-traded funds or ETFs — and you’d probably do quite well. This is not the instrument I’m using. But let me tell you about them because as you’ll see later, they ARE relevant to this story.
With many food prices doubling in as little as twelve months, even a simple ETF that’s tied to food prices could give you a very nice return.
Even if you don’t pick the best performer … even if the next cycle is no more dramatic than the last one. Even if you use no leverage. And even if you don’t get the timing quite right … you could still make as much as 50% per year with a simple ETF that’s tied to food prices.
And you could get the same kind of results with this new bank stock disaster:
You could buy a simple ETF that rises when bank stocks fall, and even if they fall no further than they did the last time around you could make another 80%.
But there’s a far better way:
I’m talking about an investment that gives you far greater leverage than any ETF ever could and that also limits your risk.
You see, leverage is particularly important for traders like me. It amplifies your profit potential. It multiplies the amount of money you stand to make.
Instead of earning a 1% gain for every 1% move in stocks or commodities, leverage lets you earn far greater profits on the same move.
In fact, leverage is a major reason why Dr. Weiss and his team found that following my “buy” and “sell” recommendations since July 2004 could have made you more than 12 times richer.
 |
That means, if you had started with $25,000, you would now have more than $308,250 …
If you had invested $50,000, you would now have $616,500 …
If you had started with $75,000 you would now have $924,900 …
And if you had $100,000 to invest, you would now have more than $1.2 million.
All in just seven years.
Plus, leverage is a big part of the reason why my average winner generated an impressive 87.4% gain.
It’s also why 31 of my recommended trades could have at least doubled your money and it’s why an additional nine of my trades could have at least tripled your money.
Leverage is also responsible for the best trade in my track record: A monster 408% gain in just 34 days.
That’s more than enough to turn $10,000 into more than $50,000 in just over one month!
Without leverage, these kinds of gains would simply not have been possible.
And there’s another reason why leverage is so important to me: Not only can you make more money with leverage, you can make more money in far less time.
I need not remind you, though, that leverage is a double-edged sword. It multiplies the amount you could make, but it also multiplies the amount you could lose.
However, with the investment I’m about to reveal, you can never lose a penny more than you invest plus a small commission.
So while your profit potential is multiplied many times over, the downside risk you accept in each trade is not!
You get virtually unlimited profit opportunities: The ability to earn up to 100 times more than other investors do on each trade …
But with strictly limited risk: A trader’s dream-come-true.
I should know: I spent the last seven years trading options on futures — similar vehicles that offered me similar leverage.
But options on futures have some drawbacks: You have to open a separate futures account.
Plus, you have to use margin. You usually have to put up larger sums of money. And, according to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), you could expose yourself to unlimited risk.
Today, I no longer use futures options. Instead, I use these NEW vehicles. They offer us ALL the main advantages of futures options with NONE of those drawbacks!
No futures account. No margin. No exposure to unlimited risk. Smaller costs. All with very similar diversity and profit potential.
And the profits can be explosive. Think about the last time financial stocks crashed, for instance:
On October 11, 2007, you could have bought an ordinary inverse ETF on the S&P 500 Index. By March 6, 2009 (17 months later) you would have been 88.7% richer.
That’s great. Nearly doubling your money is quite an accomplishment — especially when other investors are losing the shirts off their backs!
But with the vehicles I’m talking about, you could have made much more money in far less time.
Here’s what the Bloomberg data shows:
- One of the investment vehicles I use — a way to profit when the S&P 500 falls — jumped 178.4% in the ten days between October 8 and October 18, 2008.
- Another soared 230.7% in the four days between July 7 and July 11, 2008.
- And still another skyrocketed 311% between September 19 and October 2, 2008.
Imagine more than quadrupling your money in just 13 days!
And there’s more: Between September 22 and October 6, 2008, one of these “anti-S&P” investment vehicles exploded 565.4% higher in just 14 days!
It’s a similar story with falling bank stocks:
On Monday, October 6, 2008, one of these investments sold for just $8.80. Three days later, on Thursday, October 9, it sold for $51.37. That’s a 483.7% gain in less than half of one week.
Not bad for a few minutes work, right?!
But these amazing investment vehicles do much more than just give you a great way to profit when stocks fall. They also let you grab huge profit potential as tangible asset prices rise. Like …
Gains of up to 355% as
food prices continue to soar
In the past 12 months for instance, the Agriculture Total Return ETF has jumped an impressive 53.4% — but …
- One of the investment vehicles I’m talking about jumped 130% in one-eighth the time — just 45 days.
- Another soared 260% between November 17 of last year and February 2 of this year.
- And still another exploded 355% higher between November 16 of last year and March 2, 2011.
Yes, I know — it sounds crazy. However …
Before you throw me into a padded cell, let me assure you: Every one of these moves actually happened in the market. And in a moment, I’ll reveal precisely what these instruments are.
Plus, before the end of this presentation, I’ll tell you about the two trades that are on my radar screen right now.
You’re probably thinking, there’s no way anyone can make these kinds of profits every time, month after month, year after year.
And of course, you are absolutely correct.
But you don’t have to win every time. If you can limit the size of your losses, even if you win only in THREE out of ten of your trades, the results can be quite amazing.
That’s why I’m so proud of my track record: Over the last seven years, nearly SEVEN out of ten of my trades — 69%, to be exact — have been winners.
And more importantly, on average, each winner was almost THREE times larger than each loser!
So seven in every ten trades was a winner and winners were three times larger than losers.
Any way you look at it, that’s a powerful combination!
And remember: You could have achieved the triple-digit gains I just mentioned with strictly limited risk.
So what is this amazing investment vehicle that offers us the tremendous diversity, liquidity and leverage, all with strictly limited risk?
It’s called an “ETF option,” and in a nutshell, it combines two powerful elements:
- It gives you the flexibility and tremendous diversity of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) plus, at the same time and in the same instrument …
- It also gives you the awesome money-making power and controlled risk of stock options.
Think about that for a second: Exchange-traded funds are among the most popular investment vehicles in the world today. They offer you the opportunity to trade almost any kind of investment and every major asset class in existence.
But, ETF options take that flexibility and run 500,000 volts through it by offering you $10 … $50 … up to $100 or more for every ONE dollar that regular ETFs pay.
For a small investment — sometimes as little as $30 or $50 per unit — buying an ETF option gives you the right, but never the obligation, to buy a specific ETF within a particular time period at a specified price. Put simply …
ETF options are arguably the
most POWERFULLY leveraged
and most risk controlled vehicles
in the world today.
They’re the ultimate in flexibility: There are now options available on 362 different ETFs — and they cover virtually every investment area imaginable.
With ETF options, for instance, you can play megatrends in U.S. stock indexes … foreign indexes … commodities … and bonds.
Want to be more selective? No problem!
There are ETF options that let you play the rise (or FALL) of individual stock sectors, like technology.
And there are also ETF options that let you grab substantial profit potential in more targeted sectors like computers, for instance.
There are ETF options on each commodity sector — agriculture, energy, basic materials, the works. And if you want to get even more specific, you can trade ETF options on individual commodities.
In agriculture, for instance, you can trade ETF options on corn … wheat … coffee … cocoa … livestock and many other individual items.
In the energy sector, you can trade ETF options on crude oil … heating oil … gasoline … natural gas … and more.
In metals, you can trade ETF options on base metals … gold … silver … rare earth metals … and much more.
You can buy options to profit from ETFs that are rising. And you can buy put options to profit from ETFs that are falling.
Best of all, you get all the leverage you could ever ask for.
You can buy options on single-leveraged ETFs that multiply your profit potential 10 … 50 … up to 100 times over.
And you can also buy options on double-leveraged ETFs which effectively double your profit potential yet again.
All without touching the stocks, commodities, bonds or currencies themselves …
All without having to trade on margin …
All without ever even seeing a futures contract or shorting a single stock.
And all in the same, regular, everyday brokerage account, either online or offline, that you use to trade ordinary stocks or options on individual companies.
Pure and simple …
No matter what event or trend we see happening in the world, we can almost always find an ETF option that can help us profit from that event or trend.
Just recently, for example, we saw how Greece’s sovereign debt crisis flared up again.
Did you profit from that? You sure could have …
One ETF option tied to European stocks jumped 90% and another ETF option, tied to the euro, jumped 179.8% all in a single day! (Wednesday, June 15, 2011)
And remember: With the purchase of ETF options, your risk would have been strictly limited to the amount you invested but they would NOT have limited your profit potential.
And speaking of profits — care to guess how much ETF options on other commodities (besides the food commodities we already looked at) have risen in the past 12 months?
Well, between July 28 and October 14 of last year, a call option on the ProShares Ultra Gold ETF rose 350%. That’s more than quadruple in just over two months.
Plus, between January 24 and February 11, an option on a broad-based energy ETF rose 425% in just 18 days.
And between December 7 and April 15, 2011, an option on the ProShares Ultra Silver ETF exploded 423% higher in just over four months.
Of course, neither you nor I can travel backwards in time to make those particular trades. But my track record shows that similar kinds of profitable trades ARE possible in real time without 20-20 hindsight!
And the great news is every indicator I trust is telling me that the profit potential could be even better this time around.
And in addition to the remarkable profit potential they offer you, trading ETF options is a LOT of fun; one of the most exciting ways to invest I know of.
It’s important, though, to follow these
critical rules when investing this way …
Rule #1 is the same rule you should follow in any investment you make: Carefully control risk.
Since I first began trading at the ripe old age of 20 (back in 1989), one major trading rule was drilled into my head: Control your downside and the upside will take care of itself.
I credit this simple rule with helping me achieve such a favorable win-loss ratio over the past seven years: Nearly seven of every ten trades were winners. That’s a batting average of nearly .700!
Better yet, carefully managing risk is a major reason why my average winner jumped 87.4% in value. That’s nearly a double, and it’s nearly three times more than the average loss.
Most importantly, controlling risk has allowed me to recommend winning trades in all types of economic environments:
NOT just when the economy was booming — but also when millions of other investors were going bust in 2008 and early 2009.
NOT just in a handful of trades but in scores of profitable trades.
NOT just for a few months or a year or two, but over the long haul — for seven, long years.
That’s what controlling risk did for me — and today, keeping an eagle eye on risk is more crucial than ever.
Since 2004, for example, food prices have broken record after record. We’ve seen new records being set almost monthly! But at the same time, there have been several fairly steep pullbacks along the way.
Of course, anybody who’s been investing for any period of time knows that these short-term corrections are normal, healthy parts of every major market move.
They should be expected, even welcomed, as opportunities to take profits and also to open new positions at lower prices.
That said, the last thing you ever want to do is watch your profits evaporate during these corrections.
That’s why the smart trader locks in his gains at times like these … and that’s why I always take every opportunity to get some of our profits off the table.
Which brings me to Rule #2: Lock in your profits.
I seriously consider closing half of my positions when they have risen 50% in value. We then use the balance to go for even greater gains during the remainder of the trade.
Back in March of 2010, for example, I recommended a sugar trade while it was surging in price. By the time I told investors to close out half of those positions, they were already up 90% — nearly a double.
And just 21 days later, I recommended closing the second half of the trade for a whopping 331% gain: More than quadruple!
Now some people may ask, “Do you regret telling investors to sell the first half after only a 90% gain?”
Hah! Not at all! It was cheap insurance.
That 90% gain nearly covered all of the original investment. After that, it was like playing with the house’s money. Even if an investor took a significant loss on the remainder, he could have still come out ahead.
As it turned out though, even though we were cautious … even though we used prudent risk management strategies, our combined gain on both the first half and second half of the position was STILL more than 210%.
Investors who acted on my signals should have been able to sleep well at night and still more than triple their money in just a few weeks.
This is precisely why, when Weiss Research examined my record, they found that I had no fewer than 40 trades that at least doubled.
A 100% gain in 37 days …
A 103.9% gain in 27 days …
A 110.3% gain in 86 days …
A 139.1% gain in 53 days …
A 140.3% gain in 8 days …
A 146.2% gain in 21 days …
A 151.6% gain in 9 days …
A 151.7% gain in 54 days …
A 167.7% gain in 18 days …
A 175.9% gain in 75 days …
A 198% gain in 28 days …
A 202.5% gain in 22 days …
A 242% gain in 21 days …
A 292.3% gain in 30 days …
A 408% gain in 34 days …
And 25 more.
THIS is how my recommendations could have multiplied your money more than 12 times since 2004: NOT by being greedy and swinging for the fences on every trade, but by taking profits whenever possible … and allowing those gains to add up over time!
So rule #2 for trading ETF options is: Don’t get greedy. Take profits when you can.
Rule #3 is, BE NIMBLE:
Right now all of my indicators are telling me that this is the time to strike with ETF options in the food sector.
But that won’t be the only huge profit opportunity in the commodities area — not by a LONG shot!
As the U.S. government careens toward a probable downgrade, and as Mr. Bernanke cranks up the printing presses again, you can expect the U.S. dollar to plunge again. And that means we’re going to see additional profit opportunities in gold, silver and a wide variety of commodities.
Fortunately, you’ll never run out of profit opportunities when you trade ETF options. And I don’t just mean with things that are rising in price … I also mean with things that are falling.
Because with ETF options, you can make money ANYTIME asset prices are moving — regardless of whether the move is up or down.
You can grab profit potential with call options when the underlying ETF is rising in price … and you can grab profit potential with put options when the underlying ETF is declining in price.
In other words, if ETF prices are moving, there’s money to be made. And with scores of ETFs covering stock indexes, commodities, bonds, and currencies to choose from, you can pretty much always find something that’s moving!
Needless to say, no one can predict the future with any certainty and losses are possible. But as my 7-year track record clearly shows, I HAVE been able to limit them to only one third the trades and about one third the size of the winners, on average.
Plus, my past experience also shows that, with the right timing, triple-digit gains ARE POSSIBLE with options. I’ll give you more specifics on these options in a moment …
For now, just remember that, by taking profits off the table in stages, my goals is to lock in gains quickly and aim for overall returns that capture a good portion of each market move.
On these options I’m eyeing now, for example, if we can capture just one-half of the opportunity, a very reasonable goal, we could be still looking at gains of 89%, 124%, 150% and 268%.

(Overseas, call 1-561-627-3300)
We’ll lock in your savings forever.
Plus, when you join me now, you’ll be taking advantage of our “Lowest Price Guarantee”:
Each time your membership comes up for renewal, we’ll notify you first, then automatically bill your credit card at the same deeply discounted rate you paid when you first joined.
You’ll never pay a red cent more, no matter how many price increases there are in the future.
This way, you will never miss a single “buy” or “sell” recommendation and you will never pay for something you don’t want.
There are, however, two conditions for membership:
Condition #1:
You must agree not to use Master Trader
to invest your core holdings.
It’s crucial that you clearly understand that there is no such thing as a risk-free investment. No matter how or where you invest — or with whom you invest — it is inevitable that you will have losing trades. So if you’re going to trade ETF options, do it only with money you can afford to risk.
That said, however, keep in mind that with ETF options, your losses are strictly limited to the amount you invest plus the small brokerage fee you pay.
The good news is that I expect the months ahead to offer us far greater profit potential than I’ve seen in the last seven years.
But keep in mind that even if we do no better than I have since July 2004, that would mean nearly seven out of ten winners with average gains of 87.4% and only about three out of ten losing trades with an average loss of just 32%.
That is definitely a winning combination!
Even if our average winner is only HALF as large, you still stand to make excellent gains.
Condition #2:
CRUCIAL DEADLINE AHEAD:
These deeply discounted rates apply
ONLY THROUGH August 2!
This coming Tuesday — August 2, 2011 — is shaping up to be the single most critical deadline day we’ve seen in years.
FIRST, it’s the deadline for Congress and the White House to raise the U.S. debt ceiling.
An interim deal to raise the debt ceiling could result in a disastrous downgrade by the major rating agencies. And failure to raise the debt ceiling will be even more catastrophic.
But either way, I think it will drive the investments I’m recommending through the roof.
SECOND, it’s the deadline for getting on board to receive my next set of recommendations — positions I’m counting on to generate triple-digit profits for you as this government debt crisis continues to escalate.
AND THIRD, it’s your last chance to become a Charter Member of my Master Trader service. After August 2nd, no more Charter Memberships will be available, and the price will go up sharply.
Activate your membership now, and you’ll lock in this heavily discounted Charter rate as long as you remain a member.
So, if you want to explore the exciting opportunities I’ve found with ETF options — I recommend that you activate your membership immediately by clicking the button below:
Or call toll-free 1-800-661-2005
(Overseas, call 1-561-627-3300)
This should be an easy decision for you to make:
If you join Master Trader now — no later than Tuesday, August 2, 2011 — you’ll save $2,503 and get a full year for just $6.84 per day.
Or, sign up for two years and bring your daily cost down to just $4.79.
And your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed: You can activate your membership now … act on my first bundle of recommendations when I release them in a few days … and then follow my simple “buy” and “sell” instructions for the next 30 days before you decide.
If Master Trader isn’t your cup of tea, just cancel within 30 days for a full refund or anytime thereafter for a refund on the remaining portion of your membership.
And in any case, this special discount
— your opportunity to save up to $6,503
— expires on Tuesday, August 2, 2011.
