You Could Make So Much Money With These Top Stocks For 2010

Not one person in 100 has the guts to do what I'm about to show you.

And I don't want you to do it either.

Not if…

You're going to feel guilty driving a better car… living in a bigger house… or thinking the champagne your friends serve tastes like swill…

Don't do this if you have any hang-ups about money or being wealthy.

Because if that's the case, this ain't the letter for you.

Don't do this, either, if you don't have guts. Or you don't like hitting home runs. Or you don't have an intense, overwhelming desire to pile up riches.

In short… this letter isn't for wimps.

In fact, it isn't for the mainstream in any way at all.

I want only a few people. A handful. And only the right ones.

Everyone else, for all I care, can take a flying leap.

Still with me? Good.

Because that's exactly what I guessed about you… which is why I'm writing you in the first place. 

See, on the surface the markets might look crazy. But look deeper. 

We stand at a turning point in market history. We're looking at what could be the golden opportunity of a generation. Maybe several generations. 

Quite possibly, the best and biggest opportunity to get rich this century.

And all you have to do is take one simple action. If you think you can handle it.

Last Time, This Move Paid Out 15,090% in Less Than Two Years

The last time anyone did what I'm about to show you, players working the move saw a 15,090% gain in less than two years. 

Just before that, the same move paid out over 13,025%… in 22 months.

It could easily do as well… or better… today.

But I want to make this very clear: To accept this invitation… you want to make absolutely sure your mind is ready to accept the recommendation I'll make on Friday, May 29.

You have the steel to handle a little criticism. Or maybe a lot. Become a player in this market and the people closest to you might think you're out of your mind.

Your wife will try to talk you out of it. 

But if this pays off… she'll thank you for the new diamond necklace you can buy with a tiny fraction of your profits.

Your friends won't understand even if you explain it ten times. 

But if this pays off… they'll be hitting you up for loans. 

Can't handle that? Might have to get new friends.

And your new friends might not be up to your new standards. 

Their champagne? Not good enough, compared to yours. 

Their private jets? Not fast enough, compared to yours. 

The mountain air at their retreats? Not sweet enough, compared to yours. 

That's how you'd be "Miserable Rich."

Think you're up for that? Great. But the players who do this right? They have more than this steel I just described.

You also have the stomach to sit on a paper loss. Here's how this works. It's very simple. All you have to do is follow through on some basic recommendations I'm going to email to you at 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29. 

You place a phone call the following Monday if you want to execute the recommendations.

Fair warning. Some of these positions, you might see them fall 50, 60, even 70%. 

That's when you should want them more.

Sounds crazy, I know. But that's what successful players in this market do. In fact, you'll actually start to look forward to the times when these positions pull back.

It just means you have a chance to pick up more bargains. It's like a gift from the market gods. It could put you in an even better spot if it all pays off.

By now, I think you get the idea:

No Wimps Need Apply 

See, this invitation isn't for conservative investors. But it's not for traders or speculators, either. 

This is for a tiny minority willing to learn about one simple action that ― if you have the guts and the patience ― could leave you set for life.

Before I reveal the secret, let me make sure you don't get the wrong idea. Let me tell you what I'm not inviting you to do.

See, I'm not just inviting you to subscribe to an investment newsletter.

This isn't only about monthly stock picks.

This is all about an adventure.

And if I'm right… and you get "Miserable Rich"… you won't need another stock pick ever again.

I'm going to issue eight recommendations at 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29. You can decide whether to follow each one, and then call a broker on Monday the 1st.

Then sit on them until you get a moon shot. I'll make a few adjustments now and then, and I will never leave you in the dark. 

But because you have the guts and patience to be a player in this market, you'll accept that at least half of the positions we take will go nowhere, or maybe go to zero. Most of the rest? They could deliver triple-digit gains. 

And one of them could make you "Miserable Rich."

I'm not inviting you to join a trading service. 

This isn't about weekly options picks. I won't flood your inbox with more recommendations than you have time to play. You won't have to keep a window open on your computer all day to track your positions.

When I issue these eight recommendations at 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29, all you need to do if you want in is call a broker the following Monday and carry out my recommendations.

It's that simple. A half-hour of easy reading once I send you the report, and a 15-minute phone call to a broker. No special accounts to set up, no special skills needed.

And then you wait. We might be waiting six months, we might be waiting a year, two years, three years. I don't know.

See, players in this market don't trade in and out. "Buy and hold" might be a killer in the conventional stock market for 2010. But in the sector I'm talking about, it's the only way to get "Miserable Rich."

I'm not inviting you to buy a "program." 

This isn't some sort of "system" or "course."

You won't get a three-ring binder filled with hundreds of pages of gibberish that are supposed to show you the way to riches… if you can follow instructions so obscure they'd confuse a nuclear physicist.

Players in this market keep it simple.

There's going to be one simple set of recommendations that arrives in your email inbox at 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29. Just follow those recommendations and you're good to go. 

So there you go. I'm not pitching you a trading service or a "system." 

And again, this isn't about investing, or trading, or speculating. 

This is about having a chance to transform your life, your existence, your wealth ― beyond your wildest dreams.

OK, enough about you. By now you're probably wondering who the hell I am. Or actually, who am I to be talking like this?

How Real People Get "Miserable Rich" ― And You Can Too

My name is Byron King.

You probably already know me from my monthly research advisory Outstanding Investments. It's been named the #1 performing newsletter over a five-year period by Hulbert Financial Digest in 2005, 2006, and 2007.

So chances are you already know about my background as an oilfield geologist, Navy pilot, lawyer, and armchair historian.

But you might not know this. From an early age, I've been fascinated by people who got "Miserable Rich."

Growing up in Pittsburgh, you can't help it. School kids learn all about the legendary fortunes that got their start there. Carnegie with steel. Frick with coal.  The Mellons with banking, and later, aluminum, oil, and other hard assets.

That was America's golden era of industrial growth.

And beneath it all lay a foundation of hard money. 

Gold and silver.

Of course, school kids don't learn about that part.

But still… I knew instinctively there's only a handful of ways to build real wealth.  You grow it. You mine it. Or you manufacture it.

That's a big reason I chose geology for my major when I went off to Harvard. I wanted to study the science of pulling scarce resources out of the ground. And I filled out my course load with economics classes.

It was the 1970s. President Nixon had cut the dollar's last remaining tie to gold.  It set off a decade of inflation that crippled the U.S. economy. It was also a decade of rapidly-rising gold prices.

The econ professors at Harvard all thought Nixon did the right thing. Gold was a "barbarous relic," they said.

That didn't quite make sense to me. Gold was part of the human economy for 5,000 years or more. What's so different now?

And it made even less sense when I went on to law school. I studied old cases like the ones that came up after President Franklin Roosevelt seized the gold of U.S. citizens in 1933.

Mind you, by 1980 I saw gold making a run past $800 an ounce.

That was amazing enough. The performance of tiny gold miners was even more stunning.

Players in that wild and wooly market got "Miserable Rich."

13,025% in Just 22 Months!

A little company called Copper Lake Exploration made a moon shot. A breathtaking 13,025% in just 22 months.

$10,000 could have become $1,302,500. That's the sort of play that makes you "Miserable Rich."

You know what happened next. After 1980, gold sank into a 20-year bear market. 

But gold never left my mind. I kept on watching and reading and talking with people in the know.

I served in the Navy in the 1980s and stayed in the Naval Reserve during the 1990s. And I made frequent trips to the Persian Gulf region. Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait. Huge new fortunes were being built on a foundation of oil wealth. I mean, entire cities built from scratch. Sort of like Pittsburgh back in the good old days.

And here's what else struck me about Middle Eastern cultures. People there are hyper-focused on gold. Have been for thousands of years.

Women throughout the region wear gold jewelry. Gold markets called souks are a common sight.

And every time I went over there, I brought home a little gold. I knew that gold wouldn't stay stuck in a bear market forever.

Besides, even in those years, a handful of players still made huge gains from tiny gold stocks to buy. Like one called Arequipa Resources. It blasted up 2,600% in a year before it was bought out.

$10,000 could have become $260,000. That's the sort of play that makes you "Miserable Rich."

Soon, the 1990s passed into the 2000s.  And I started reading The Daily Reckoning ― Bill Bonner's daily e-letter.

What drew me in? I thought he was right on with his "Trade of the Decade." Sell stocks, buy gold.

You have to remember how gutsy that was at the time. No wonder when I got the chance to join the industry-leading analysts of Agora Financial, I leapt at it.

Bill's call was dead right. Gold zoomed up from $252 in 2001 to more than $900 today.

And that whole time, readers of my monthly research advisory Outstanding Investments racked up even more impressive gains in precious metals stocks.

A phenomenal track record, right? There's just one little problem.

Of course, gains like these are terrific. But they won't make you "Miserable Rich."

You want to be "Miserable Rich?" Then you have to get into the "junior" gold companies. 

These are the up-and-coming outfits. They explore for gold deposits. Build mines from scratch. Bring new mines into production.

Like Copper Lake Exploration in 1978. Or Arequipa Resources in 1996.

15,900% Gains in Less Than Two Years!

Here's the hitch. Companies with that potential that are tiny. Microcaps, really.  So small, I won't dare recommend them.

Not to the readers of Outstanding Investments. Imagine tens of thousands of them piling into such top stocks to buy. That would artificially jack up the prices. Then they'd come crashing back to earth. Not good. Terrible, actually!

In fact, a typical gold stock I recommend in Outstanding Investments has a market cap 447 times the kind of juniors I'm talking about.

Now, that bigger stock is already up nearly 100% since I recommended it. If the "big boys" can do that well, imagine what these tiny juniors could do.

So there I was in 2006. Aurelian Resources made the biggest gold discovery in decades. Players in the junior market rode it from 25 cents a share… to over 40 dollars.

And my hands were tied.

But still, you see the potential…

$10,000 could have become $1,590,000. That's the sort of play that makes you "Miserable Rich."

And there are so many other examples I could cite…

But I wanted to do something to give people like you the opportunity to become a player in this market. To give you a chance of getting "Miserable Rich" off the next Aurelian.

Now… after nearly two years of research, I've hit on the solution.

It's a one-time opportunity. Something I've never done before. And that's why I'm writing you today about the recommendations I'm going to send you on Friday, May 29… if you have the courage.

Because as I said before, this could be the golden opportunity of a generation.  Or several generations. Or a lifetime. Yours to seize now and become "Miserable Rich."

So listen up and listen good. Because this isn't just your chance for me to make you boatloads of money. I'm talking whole cargo ships full of money. Now's the time. I mean, right now, this instant.

We get started at 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29.

Mark Your Calendar ― 5 PM EDT, Friday, May 29

At that moment, I will release a special report. It's called Set for Life: Eight Keys to Getting "Miserable Rich" with Gold.

It will contain eight "junior" mining picks. These are the small-cap, even microcap, companies that explore for gold and develop mines before they're ready for production.

That was the story of Copper Lake Exploration, which leaped 13,025% in 22 months. And Aurelian Resources ― up 15,900% in 2006-07.

Look back across the decades: A development or exploration company that hits the big-time can return you 15 to 20 times more than holding bullion.

Today, many of these companies are cheap as dirt after the beating certain gold stocks of 2010. Many have already had those 50, 60, and 70 percent drops I told you about. That means they're more than ready for a moon shot.

Now you can grab 300 shares of all of them for less than $10,000.

You can be a master in this market ― you can give yourself a shot at becoming "Miserable Rich" ― for an insanely low admission price.

And you can get started at 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29.

That timing gets you into the junior gold market at a historic turning point. 

But why Friday at 5PM? You see, I have to wait till the market closes to issue these recommendations. But I also want to give you as much time as possible before the next opening bell to act on these opportunities so you can have a chance to get "Miserable Rich."

Once you do, you can pull the trigger with a broker before the market opens on Monday the 1st.

But fair warning. I've said it before: At least half of these will probably go nowhere. But the rest could deliver triple-digit gains that could more than cover whatever losses you have from the turkeys.

And one of them could make you "Miserable Rich."

I don't know which one that's going to be. If I did, I'd recommend only that one. 

But let me tell you about one of the most likely candidates. After you see what this company's up to, I bet you'll agree.

This Guy Built the World's Most Profitable Gold Miner From Scratch… and He's About to Do It Again!

Let me tell you about a guy who got "Miserable Rich" in the gold business.

He started rebuilding a struggling junior gold miner in 1993. It was worth about $50 million.

Today it's worth $8 billion. It's one of the world's top three producers.

A $1.62 share price became $51.06. An eye-popping gain of 3,052%.

And a compounded annual growth rate of 32%. An average 32% a year ― year after year.

So he turned a lot of heads a few years ago. He up and left this powerhouse he built.… and took over a struggling junior miner few people ever heard of.

"What, is he crazy?" people asked. "Does he think he can do it all over again?"

Yes, he does. And I think he's going to pull it off.

His company's now sitting on a patch of desert that could yield one of the Western Hemisphere's biggest gold finds. It could rival a famous gold field nearby that's home to 180 million ounces.

And don't get the idea this company is some sort of post-retirement playground for this guy. He owns 23% of the firm. He means business. He wants to get "Miserable, MISERABLE Rich!"

And, he's already made many insightful investors "Miserable Rich."

If you missed out the first time, here's your second chance.

You can learn the name of this company in the special report, Set for Life: Eight Keys to Getting "Miserable Rich" with Gold. I release it at 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29. You can secure access to your copy right now. I'll tell you how at the end of this letter.

Right now, let me tell you about another junior with ridiculous "Miserable Rich" potential that you'll find in that report.

Buy This Stock and Make Up to 20 Times Your Money

In May of 2008, this company hit the jackpot. I mean, serious "Miserable Rich" potential.

Only no one outside the company realized it at the time.

Word's just now starting to get out. So let me explain before it becomes common knowledge. 

This company found a deposit of 4.5 million ounces of gold.

At $900 an ounce, that's $4 billion of gold!

Say it costs $450 to get the gold out of the ground. That's $2 billion in profit.

Compare that to the market cap of this tiny dynamo. Less than $100 million.

We're talking a company that could go from $100 million to $2 billion in the next three years ― a 20-bagger!

What's the catch, you ask?

None. In fact, the upside could be even bigger. This deposit lies a half-hour drive away from the marquee project of a major gold producer. 

So there's probably a lot more gold still to be found. Drilling results indicate this company is sitting on five other deposits nearby that could have even more gold than the one already discovered.

So a 20-bagger could be just the beginning.

The details are yours in the special report.

It's also where you'll find the skinny on this potential 50-bagger.

This Guy Made Millions on Gold in the 70s.Now He's Following a Gold Strategy Proven to Turn Every $1 into $50

Here's the story of another guy who got "Miserable Rich" in the gold business.  Only he did it during gold's big run-up in the 1970s. When gold was $150, he was predicting $900. 

The day after gold hit its $850 high in January 1980, he sold his position. His profit? More than $15 million.

Then he got out. He said the gold bull market was over.

Of course, he was right.

Most guys of his generation are retired or dead now. Not this one. 

In fact, he's on the verge of his biggest triumph yet.

He got back into gold at just the right time. In 2001, when gold was near its bear-market lows of $252, he told Forbes it was going to $440. And he's ridden it higher ever since.

So what's he doing now?

He's running a tiny company sitting on huge chunks of land in the Southern Hemisphere proven to be swimming with gold deposits. Geologists have turned up 40 million ounces in the region over the last 15 years.

And he doesn't plan to develop any of it.

What?! Is he crazy?

Yeah, like a fox. See, his strategy is to farm out the hard work to other companies. They're the ones who'll develop the sites and bring them into production.

And his little firm? No equipment expenses, no vast payroll to meet. Just sit back and collect a healthy cut of the profits. Royalties.

That's exactly the strategy a gold company called Franco-Nevada used earlier this decade. It popped from a few bucks a share to $180. Early investors made 50 times their money.

Don't miss out on this veteran gold guru's last and greatest act. Get the details in the special report, Set for Life: Eight Keys to Getting "Miserable Rich" with Gold. You can secure your copy right now… that way I can send it to your email inbox at exactly 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29.

Inside your special report, you'll also learn about these fantastic opportunities…

These guys did the 14 years of hard work. You could collect the payoff.

This company fought one obstacle after another for 14 long years to open a gold mine in one of the most promising locations in the Americas. The first gold and silver came out of the ground in November 2008.

Over the next 15 years, this single mine should generate 1.7 million ounces of gold, and 64 million ounces of silver.

An easy ten-bagger.

Big profits five years ago. MASSIVE profits now.

Geologists who studied this company's biggest project in 2004 figured it would make big profits with gold at $400 and silver at $6.50. Now gold is $900 and silver $12.60. And this is just the beginning. This firm's gold production is set to grow 42% in the next three years, and silver production 69%.

All the right numbers, all going in the right direction.

You can get into this stock on the heels of some great news. Its geologists have just concluded the company's sitting on 21% more gold than previous estimates. That's a total of 2.05 million ounces this firm is bringing into production. Quarterly production numbers? Up 38% in a year. And estimates of its future gold resources just grew 129%. This one's got a whole lot of room to run…

One mine up and running… four more to go!

I've found a terrific play on that other "money metal" ― silver. One mine is already in production, with four more in the pipeline. This company's sitting on as much as $4.9 billion of silver. (And gold, lead, and zinc.)

Its geologists keep finding more and more. Its potential metal holdings have grown 18-fold in the last four years! It could easily double your money in the next six months, and maybe 18-fold over the next four years!

And I have one more silver play with the potential to make you "Miserable Rich."

How This Company Could Collect $250 Million in Silver From the Canadian Government ― FREE

Think of the words "gold rush." Chances are you think of California in 1849… or Canada's Klondike in 1898.

But that's all history, right? Your chance to cash in was over long before you were born.

Think again. You can still get "Miserable Rich" off the Klondike more than a century later.

There's a minimum 20 million ounces of silver in the Klondike still to be had ― free, courtesy of the Canadian government.

Here's a quick history lesson. The Klondike gold rush lasted just seven years.  The amateurs panning for gold? They were gone by 1905. 

The professionals remained. They built mines and hauled out gold and silver for decades. But even they ended up bailing in the 1980s. Not because they ran out of metal, but because they ran out of money. They thought those record prices of the 70s would last forever. They got burned.

So what about that 20 million ounces of silver, you ask? That's what one of the companies left behind in 1989 in just one mining district in northern Canada. Once abandoned, the site became the Canadian government's property.

A good deal for Canada? No, it was an expensive mess. See, the old company left behind a toxic stew of chemicals from decades of sloppy mining techniques.

But in April 2006, the Canadian government hit on a solution. It signed a deal to pay a small environmental company $50 million to clean up the mines… and the company gets to keep all the silver it can dig up, absolutely free.

This company's CEO is confident his people will find 20 million ounces of silver in just one part of this vast complex.

Now, let's assume the worst. Assume that mine cleanup eats every dollar the Canadian government gives this company.

That still leaves minimum 20 million ounces of free silver.

At current prices, that's $250 million. This company's current market cap? Just $50 million. You could make five times your money.

And again, that's assuming the worst. That's assuming only this one part of the region still has silver to be found. This company's geologists are hard at work at 35 other sites nearby.

Your price of entry? Less than $2 a share.

Again, all of this is spelled out for you in great detail in the special report I'm releasing right at 5 PM on Friday, May 29 ― Set for Life: Eight Keys to Getting "Miserable Rich" with Gold.

You'll get the names and ticker symbols of all these best stocks for 2010. Most of them are under $3 a share, and not a one costs more than $9, so you can load up on 'em.  In fact, you can pick up 300 shares of each for under $10,000.

I'll say it one more time. At least half of these will probably go nowhere. The rest could deliver as much as triple-digit gains. 

And one could make you "Miserable Rich."

But don't take my word about why this approach can be such a wealth-maker.  Take the word of one of the most successful gold mining executives out there.  I'm talking about a big-time player in this market ― a guy who built his company from "junior" to "major" in less than five years.

Why Is the CEO of One of the Major Gold Producers Selling Shares of His Company to Buy Juniors?

If you know anything about gold stocks of 2010, you know about the phenomenal story behind Yamana Gold.

Peter Marrone founded the company in 2003.

It sold for less than $2 a share at the time.

Early on, willing buyers approached him several times and asked if he wanted to sell the company to them. Each time, he said no.

They thought he was nuts to walk away.

But he knew something they didn't. He knew gold was heading into a long-term bull market. And he could make far more money over time building his company than selling out for a fast buck.

Today Yamana ranks among the world's biggest gold miners. Its shares zoomed up to nearly $20 in just five years ― a classic ten-bagger. 

Point is, Marrone knows his stuff.

So why in the world is he selling off shares of his own stock and buying shares of junior gold miners?

He says don't get the wrong idea. He still believes in his company and he's heavily invested in it.

But it's not what's going to deliver big gains in the short term. It's not what'll make him even more "Miserable Rich" than his own firm made him. As he puts it, "Sometimes it's not a bad idea to take a little bit of money and come into [juniors] at the right time."

In other words: Marrone's already done the hard work of building a world-changing company in just five years. And growing it ten-fold.

Now he wants to put some of his hard-earned wealth into other companies with the same ten-bagger potential. Like the ones I've been telling you about.

Imagine piling a ten-bagger on top of a ten-bagger!

This gets to the core of what I'm talking about.

If the CEO of one of the world's best-run gold producers is putting his money into juniors… shouldn't you be doing the same?

I'll show you exactly how you can do it. Become a player in this market. Become "Miserable Rich."

But since it's my aim to make you boatloads of money, I need to do something else first. I need to lay out one more simple, brutal fact to make sure you're up for what we're starting on Friday, May 29.

URGENT WARNING: Whatever You Do, Don't Try This at Home

OK, you've stayed with me this far. Now I have to tell you the most important thing you need to know. And this applies whether or not you accept my invitation.

I'm deadly serious. I've already told you I'm looking for only the right courageous people to follow through on this opportunity that arrives Friday, May 29. 

See, it's not enough to be jacked up on the idea of juniors. You need to know what you're doing. Because let me tell you what's about to happen. 

Some reckless folk are going to stop reading this letter and start searching for information about junior gold miners. They'll figure they can identify what juniors to invest in on their own.

And they will get eaten alive. They will destroy whatever wealth they invest in the sector.

See, there are about 5,000 juniors out there. And only about 250 of them will ever pull a speck of gold out of the ground. The rest will go to zero. Zip, zilch, nothing. 

What's more, most of the 250 that do produce gold won't produce enough to ever make a profit. Or only a modest gain.

Only a handful of these juniors ― 15 at the most ― have the potential to make you "Miserable Rich."

Even if these go-it-alone people do all their homework, they'll still destroy their wealth. Even if they study a company's press releases and annual reports. Even if they call the company's CEO. Even if they know what questions to ask the CEO ― and they don't.

Heck, even many of the so-called "experts" in this field don't know what questions to ask. They just take a bunch of companies' balance sheets. Then they see which companies have the highest number of ounces.

Then they buy. And they get slaughtered. Worse, their clients get slaughtered.

You know why? Because the balance sheet doesn't tell you whether it's feasible to pull those ounces out of the ground. Or whether it's profitable.

I know I'm getting a little worked up here. But that's because I know ― from personal experience ― the junior gold sector is a minefield.

Let me tell you, the ups and downs on the way to the big money can be gut-wrenching. And not every junior pick of mine has been a winner. No one can pick juniors and come out a winner every time.

I've said it before. Buy a bunch of juniors, knowing that at least half will go nowhere or even go down. The rest could deliver triple-digit gains. And one could make you "Miserable Rich."

So please, don't try this at home. Get some expert guidance. Whether it's me or someone else.  Don't go it alone.

So let's talk about how you can get a helping hand. There are three ways. And two of them are lousy.

Three Ways to Invest in Juniors (And Two of Them Are Lousy)

Bad Bet #1: You could invest in a mutual fund that specializes in gold juniors.  The fund manager does the heavy lifting, and the management fees are actually pretty reasonable.

But there's only a handful of these funds to choose from. And all of them are larded down with big positions in the majors ― or even bullion. Sort of defeats the purpose, huh?

Bad Bet #2: You could invest with a brokerage firm that makes the picks for you.  But that could cost thousands upon thousands of dollars. Besides, brokers are all about making money for their firm, not their clients.

Yes, there are a few honest and intelligent brokers who specialize in juniors. I have a lot of respect for them. But often they own large equity stakes in the juniors they happen to like. They might even sit on the board of directors of these companies. I'm not comfortable with that sort of conflict of interest.

The right choice: I'm not a fund manager. I'm not a broker. I just want to help people like you make boatloads of money.  

I'm not pitching you a trading service, or a course. I'm offering an adventure for people who are ready to take that once-in-a-lifetime shot at getting "Miserable Rich." To achieve the wealth you thought you could never have but know you deserve.

And I can't think of a better way to get started than with the eight juniors I lay out for you in Set for Life: Eight Keys to Getting "Miserable Rich" with Gold.  You can have a copy emailed to you at exactly 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29.

Oh, I'd better mention one more thing while I'm thinking about it: Your broker needs access to the Canadian exchanges to buy many of these top stocks for 2010. If you have one, just talk to him about it. Many of the online discount brokerages can handle it too. I'll even tell you who in another special report. 

This one's called Junior Gold Shares: An Owner's Manual. 

Think of it as an introduction to the world of junior mining shares. It builds on everything you're reading right here. You get it at the same time you get Set for Life: Eight Keys to Getting "Miserable Rich" with Gold.

Along with those two reports, I'm going to throw in something else. And there's no extra cost to you.

A Year's Worth of Regular Updates on These Stocks… And 12 More Micro-Cap Resource Picks…

Look, I've told you how this is a moment you need to seize right now, before Friday, May 29. If you want in, all you have to do is buy positions in these eight hot stocks for 2010, then hang on for dear life. 

At some point, probably when gold reaches $3,000 an ounce, maybe sooner, we'll have our moon shot. You could be "Miserable Rich."

That's it.

Of course, once you get a taste of the junior gold sector, you might decide being "Miserable Rich" isn't enough for you. You want more.

I can deliver more.

I can throw in ― absolutely free ― a one-year subscription to my premium research service called Energy & Scarcity Investor.

You'll get at least 12 top-of-the-line micro-cap picks in the resource sector ― whether it's precious metals, energy, or agriculture.

Energy & Scarcity Investor is a high-end, premium service. After all, best stocks like gold juniors are thinly traded. We can't have tens of thousands of readers juicing the share prices artificially. 

Besides, you know by now it takes someone really ballsy to be "Miserable Rich."  Not everyone can handle it. Maybe only 1 in 1,000 people. So my publisher charges a lot for membership. That way we know the people who join up are really serious.

But you can have a year's worth of membership absolutely RISK-FREE… with no obligation… along with your copy of Set for Life: Eight Keys to Getting "Miserable Rich" with Gold.

Seize the Moment… Start Your Road to "Miserable Rich"…

OK, I see you've stuck with me up to this point of the letter. Congratulations!  You're the kind of person who's cut out for the chance to turn $10,000 into $260,000… like with Arequipa Resources. Or $1,302,500 like Copper Lake Exploration. Or $1,509,000 like Aurelian.

You're already very clear about what we're doing at 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29. 

You want to learn about the one simple move that could leave you set for life.

So here's how it works.

On Friday, May 29 at 5 PM EDT, I will release my special report, Set for Life: Eight Keys to Getting "Miserable Rich" with Gold. It will arrive at that moment in your e-mail inbox. It will contain eight recommendations that could leave you set for life. 

Also on Friday, May 29 at 5 PM EDT, you will receive Junior Gold Shares: An Owner's Manual. This will be your plain-English introduction to the only sector of the gold market that can leave you set for life.

Each month, I will e-mail you a micro-cap resource recommendation in your issue of Energy & Scarcity Investor. You can act on this new recommendation if you choose. This one-year subscription is yours FREE.

Every Friday, I will e-mail you a weekly Energy & Scarcity Investor update on the status of your recommended gold positions and the resource markets. Again, this is part of your FREE one-year membership in this premium research service.

Whenever the opportunity strikes, I will e-mail you a Flash Buy Alert on a resource stock that's just too good to wait for the monthly issue. This could happen once every few months, or a couple of times in a week. It all depends on how the market goes. But don't feel you have to obsessively check your inbox for these recommendations. As long as you check your e-mail once a day, you'll be fine. Again, I want to keep it simple. And again, this comes with the membership in Energy & Scarcity Investor, yours FREE for one year.

Now… how much would all this be worth to you?

I've said it before. I'll say it again. I'm not a fund manager looking for fees. I'm not a broker looking for commissions.

All I want to do is give people like you a chance to make boatloads of money. It's all I've ever wanted to do. 

And with juniors priced at incredible bargains, now's the perfect time to jump in.  All the stars are aligned.

The price of admission for the adventure we're starting on Friday, May 29 is $1,495.

That's a one-time price of $1,495 for your year's subscription to Energy and Scarcity Investor, plus access to eight junior picks, at least one of which could deliver a moon shot by the time gold reaches $3,000. Or sooner. Maybe even an Aurelian that can turn every $1 into $150. 

If that happens, you could be "Miserable Rich." The champagne your friends serve won't be good enough. The jets they fly won't be fast enough. The sand at their beachfront resorts won't be white enough.

But you'd be set for life.

And on top of the special reports you get on Friday May 29, you get your membership in Energy & Scarcity Investor. That will give you 12 more micro-cap resource recommendations you could stuff in your portfolio. Plus weekly updates on your current recommended junior holdings.

There's nothing else like this out there, in the fund business, the brokerage business, or financial publishing. Nothing. 

Ready to get started? Great!

My Iron-Clad "Cold-Feet" Guarantee

Now… Just in case you're still not 100% with me on this, let me make you a guarantee. And it's not the kind of guarantee I'd ordinarily make.

See, if you really buy into everything I've been describing here, I don't even need to make you a guarantee. You have guts and you have desire. So that should be enough to carry you through the stomach-churning ups and downs on your way to getting "Miserable Rich."

But I'm going to make you a guarantee anyway. In fact, I'm going to put my reputation on the line. I call this my Iron-Clad "Cold-Feet" Guarantee.

It works like this: Collect your special report Set for Life: Eight Keys to Getting "Miserable Rich" with Gold along with Junior Gold Shares: An Owner's Manual on Friday, May 29 at 5 PM EDT. Then review your first two monthly issues of Energy & Scarcity Investor. Follow the weekly Energy & Scarcity Investor updates. Log on to the members-only Energy & Scarcity Investor website to review archived issues.

Study all of this for up to 60 days. If any time during those 60 days you get cold feet, you decide you're not up to being a player in this market, you're not prepared for what it takes to get "Miserable Rich" … just call a toll-free number to cancel. I'll include the number in our first correspondence at 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29.  No hard feelings. I'll refund every penny of your subscription price. And you can keep everything I've sent to you.

Get "Miserable Rich"… or Get Your Money Back

But I must give you an added level of protection. Long-term, performance-guaranteed protection. Protection that shows you exactly how confident I am that one of these recommendations will make you "Miserable Rich."

So here's the deal. If at anytime after those 60 days you find another research advisory service you feel gives you better recommendations in the microcap resource sector, just let me know. I'll give you an address where you can send everything back, along with proof that the other service gives you a better deal, and I'll STILL give you a full refund.

Doesn't matter when. Could be five years from now. If you send me evidence of what you find, along with everything I sent you so my publishers can compare, you'll STILL get a full refund of every penny you originally paid to subscribe.

So you're getting a "keep everything" guarantee for 60 days after you subscribe.  Plus you're getting a lifetime "top this" guarantee beyond that.

So you bear no risk. Except the risk of getting so wealthy you'll lose your friends. But I'm absolutely sure you'll never have to take me up on this solid promise. Because I'm absolutely sure that at least one of these picks has the potential to make you "Miserable Rich."

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Not everybody is cut out for this. 

So I have no idea how many people will still be with me once your moon shot materializes. I don't know how many people will get "Miserable Rich." I don't know how many people feel they deserve to be set for life.

But if you hang with me, I can tell you this. Once the adventure is over, you'll be saying what I'll be saying: "What a ride! It was worth every moment!"

What Makes Stocks Market Recovery in 2010...

I don't intend to buy a single stock this year.

Not one.

And not in 2010 either.

Frankly, when you see the shocking report I share below, I'm convinced you'll see why. You may even already agree.

Even so, what follows should give you more than enough proof... that even a partial market recovery is unlikely for at least the next 18-24 months.

If not longer.

This doesn't mean you can't protect yourself.

And it doesn't mean you still can't get very rich.

In fact, over the last 24 months, I've invested over $532,171 to back the research behind the stunning forecast you'll find below.

And I'm so concerned by what you're about to see, I've dedicated an entire team — including a top economist with over 20 years experience in global equity research and asset allocation — to help reveal opportunity in the midst of this unfolding crisis. 

You'll discover below how U.S. shoppers can no longer "save" the world economy... and why China's economic miracle can't save us either...

You'll find out why millions of jobs are gone for good, and how millions more could disappear before we're through... plus, how long-term collapse for the dollar is inevitable...

But you'll see, it's not all bad news.

There are at least seven "super shields" you can read about right now that can help protect your money... and my team has honed in on at least five ways for you to see potentially money-doubling and even money-tripling gains over the next few months ahead.

It's all in the report that follows.

Plus a lot more, as you're about to see.

But before we get into that, let's dig into the surprising forecast my team of elite insiders, analysts, and economists just shared with me. Because I'm confident you'll be as shocked as I was by what you're about to see...

Toxic Timebomb #1: The Total Breakdown of the American Consumer Culture

How many people do you know who have lived through a "real bust?" No, I don't mean the dotcom bomb or the Asian currency crisis.

I don't mean the 9-11 recession or the '87 market crash... or even the '74 market meltdown or the late '70s oil crisis.

I mean a full-on social and economic reversal.

Of course we haven't seen anything on that scale since the Great Crash of '29. And many of the witnesses alive to those events are long gone from our lives.

But do you remember... how your parents or maybe your grandparents talked about those times? They never seemed to forget.

How many "Depression survivors," for instance, still save scraps of paper and bits of string... rinse off tin foil... and wouldn't dare toss leftovers?

When you grow up knowing only good times, it's easy to forget that "thrift" and "value" were bedrock American values. And harder still to imagine an America that returns to those ideals.

But see, it's not the little busts and downturns that change behavior. It's the BIG ones that do it. And sometimes in long-lasting and radical ways.

Take Japan, today.

In the late 1980s, you might forget that Japan was busy buying up American companies at a breakneck pace. They too felt pretty rich. And we were sure they were out to eat our lunch.

Then their market went through its own credit meltdown. Just like the one we're seeing now, but on a smaller scale.

They have yet to recover.

Not just economically, with a stock market of 2010 that's basically flat-lined for the last nearly two decades. But culturally too.

Already high Japanese savings rates exploded... car sales plunged by half and remain as low... cabbage long ago replaced meat on Tokyo dinner tables... middle class Japanese started washing their clothes in used bathwater.

Are these the destitute Japanese?

No. This is the well-employed Japanese middle class. With good jobs and incomes. But working and scrimping as though they could lose everything all over again.

What happens if the same consumer malaise locks into place here in America? A much longer recession or even financial depression than anybody is willing to imagine.

Yet there's ample proof this is exactly the radical shift underway...

In the bedrooms and boardrooms across America, we're waking up to a very scary realization. All those big houses we bought... the cars and fancy techno gadgets... the fancy clothes and furniture... the $100 dinners and $5,000 vacations... and suddenly we're looking back and realizing... we've got so little to show for it.

Look, it's not hard to do the math. Over the last three decades, we've taken one of the greatest industrial nations in history... and traded it off piece by piece. In its place, we became the world's #1 shopping nation.

Not makers, but buyers.

Even now, we're facing an economy in which 70% of our economic output depends on consumer buying.

No buyers, no recovery.

And yet, unlike other recent minor busts and even major corrections, the lesson hundreds of millions of strapped Americans are learning all over again is that same lesson our forebearers learned after 1929.

Namely, that the law of personal and financial responsibility is as irreversible as the law of gravity. And it's the egg that no bureaucrat — no matter how popular — and no multi-billion dollar bailout  — no matter how large — can unscramble.

In short, the hearts and minds of the American consumer have been thrown into reverse. And it's this total psychological "snap" that will make a back-to-baseline conventional recovery impossible any time soon.

The $2.5 Trillion Gorilla in the Room

This is vital. Because, you see, a lot of Americans — and a lot of people in the rest of the world — are counting on credit-card carrying American shoppers to jumpstart the global economic engine all over again.

But it isn't going to happen. And you don't want to bank your investments on the idea that it will. Or you'll risk even bigger losses than many Americans have suffered already.

Consider, right now, total private consumer debt is nearly $2.5 trillion. How serious is that? Well, with the way "trillion" gets tossed around these days, it's hard to imagine.

But you can already start seeing the massive paradigm shift taking grip when you look deeper into day-to-day details...

On New York's Madison Avenue, shops that used to sell $2,390 bed sheets and $2,400 handbags have packed up and slapped "For Rent" signs in their windows

Penny-pincher clubs are back. And coupon-clipping sites are getting some of the highest traffic on the Web. Discount sales and all-you-can-eat buffets have lines going out the door  

Last holiday season was the slowest in four decades. Meanwhile, luxury products are "out," showing off how budget-wise you are is back "in"

Big "box" stores continue to close at record rates too, while department store sales are down as much as 24%. The Gap? Sales are down 23%. Other clothing chains are down 22%

What's more, U.S. cars sell slower than in 1982. For the first time in history, China sells more cars than we do. Keep in mind, about 20% of all the retail in the U.S. comes from car sales

Planes can't sell seats in business or first class either. Not to mention a 20% drop in airline freight shipping. Meanwhile, train and truck shippers are in absolute freefall

Even FedEx and UPS — slammed by the double-whammy of crashing buyer demand and no-shipment digital book, document, and movie delivery — have seen overnight shipping profits vaporize.

You don't need me to tell you that adds up to trouble. But how much trouble? Total U.S. retail sales have rolled back to levels we haven't seen since 2005.

Imagine if every single retail shop opened in the last three years shut down overnight. It's already that bad.

Here's the thing. A lot of people, from Wall Street to Washington, have a great deal invested in you believing we can reverse that trend.

I'm writing you today to reveal another possibility... that the freeze in consumer spending and the consumer economy could actually take many more years to thaw.

I'm also writing to show you there's a move you can make — a surprisingly simple one that takes just minutes to arrange — that can give you back double any further downturn in consumer sales. How so? I'll explain in just a moment.

But first, let me just show the first of at least two reasons why this dangerous consumer crisis is about to get a lot worse before it gets better...  

The "Multiplier" That Could Soon Double the Impact of this Downturn

I'm sure you've read, that since the start of the downturn on December 27, we're already out 4.4 million jobs. And we're losing hundreds of thousands more each month.

How much deeper could this go?

Well, today's crash is already bigger dollar-wise than anything that we lost in 1974. And even back then, 1% of U.S. jobs disappeared. Do that today and you're talking about a total 13.2 million Americans out of work.

That's 13 million people not buying cars or new houses... 13 million cutting back on groceries... 13 million not buying flat screen TVs or going to strip malls... in fact, it's the same number of Americans who lost their jobs during the 1930s.

You've seen pictures.

The jobs that disappeared were the "multiplier effect" that turned a stock market bust into a decade-long downturn. Today's record setting job losses could do the same.

With an average of over 650,000 jobs disappearing in each of the first couple months alone... we're on pace to lose a total of 7.8 million jobs just this year.

Boomers cancelling retirement... middle-aged workers swarming college job fairs... at one Ohio high school, over 700 people showed up for a janitorial job... these aren't people set to dive back into impulse shopping anytime soon.

In fact, just like in Japan in the early 1990s, Americans have started saving — if you can believe it — at record levels.

Just in the last year alone, we've socked away $545.5 billion. That's the biggest glut of cash going under the mattress since we first started tracking U.S. savings rates... back in 1959!

Foreboding? Very.

But there's a second "multiplier" on the way that could drive consumer spending — and any dream of a consumer-led recovery — even deeper into the ground.

Even though you're not hearing much about this at all from political publicists or the TV talking heads...  

The Second Wave Property Meltdown That Nobody Wants to Talk About

You already know by now, I'm sure, that it was the first wave of defaults in "subprime" mortgages that sparked today's economic meltdown...

What you might NOT know is that there's a whole second wave of just as toxic mortgages in the pipeline... in a glut just as large... and potentially just as far reaching. You can see it for yourself, in fact, in the simple illustration below...

 You can see that the first peak in subprime loan "resets" arrived smack dab in the middle of 2008. And many billions in bank write-downs... along with trillions of dollars in market losses immediately followed.

This second wave of toxic property loans, however — a flood what you call "option ARM" or "Alt-A" loans — won't hit peak resets until 2011.

What are these second kinds of toxic loans? These were the fancy mortgages snapped up by middle Americans... to buy homes nobody imagined would be worth a fraction of their selling price, just two years later.

And like I said, just like subprime, these loan contracts also carry a "reset" risk in the fine print, when already high monthly mortgage payments could as much as double — right at the height of the second biggest market meltdown since the Great Depression.

Millions more consumers will freeze up as their finances go over the cliff... more bank losses will drag down even more so-called "blue chip" retirement portfolios... and the impact of the consumer bust I've told you about will get "multiplied" yet again. Millions more Americans could lose everything.

But that doesn't have to happen to you...

The Double-Barreled Strategy That Could Protect You

My colleagues and I have found seven simple "super shield" moves you can make that could easily protect you from an even deeper downturn.

Two of these could do very well directly because of the money that will continue to pour out of consumer-related assets over the months ahead.

One move is a neatly packaged "downside" play that could give you back double the value of any percentage downturn in consumer goods. In other words, if a basket of retail and related top stocks for 2010 drops another 5% or worse... you see a gain of 10% or better.

The second move gives you an equally neatly packaged way to gain as the money that's pouring out of retail... pours into one of the best gravity-and-recession defying sectors going today. I'm talking, of course, about the fortune still pouring into healthcare.

With the boomers aging and billions getting redirected into health resources, healthcare has outperformed ailing Wall Street for nearly two years in a row. And this second move can also let you make back as much as double every percentage uptick over the coming year.

You can read about both sides of this balanced play in a free report we've put together, Parachute Portfolio, Volume One: 7 Super Shields Against the Next Round of Market Wipeouts.

It's the first in a set of reports I'd like to send you, collectively called the Parachute Portfolio Library. And as you can see, it includes at least seven of these "super shield" plays to help you protect your money during the even bigger economic unraveling my alliance of experts foresees ahead.

I'll show you how to download the entire Parachute Portfolio Library free in just a moment.

First, let's continue with my team's forecast.

Because I need to make absolutely sure you see how the clock is ticking a lot faster than most people think...

Toxic Timebomb #2: China's "Dirtiest Secret" Gets Revealed

Vital to the idea of a global recovery... is the idea that China, at least, is still growing. And that, just maybe, they can help pull the rest of us out of this crisis by our bootstraps.

Is that a real possibility? Not by a long shot. And if you're placing any faith in a whole new Asian miracle, I urge you right now to reconsider. Especially if your wealth depends on it, as it might — in more ways than you imagine.

Consider Detroit. It once looked like a global mecca for capitalism and monument to progress, too. Have you seen it lately? It's practically a ghost town.

Now imagine the world's next industrial ghost towns — and you might be shocked to discover that they're already turning up. But not in America. Rather, in the Chinese provinces of Shenzhen, Guangzhou, or Dongguan.

See, while China's head honchos tout a rosier future for the "Red Dragon" economy than seems possible... over 15,000 factories in those areas I just named alone have already shut down... with many more slated to close over the months ahead.

It's an epidemic that's happening all across Asia, though you might not be hearing about the full scale of their meltdown on the evening news.

Half of China's toy factories have shut down. In fact, at least 67,000 factories overall closed in the last six months of 2008. With another 60,000 factories in the Wen Zhou Province alone about to shut down.

As many as 27 million Chinese are already out of work — with 20 million of them streaming out of the cities and back to the abandoned farms of the Chinese countryside.

It's not hard to figure out why...

China's Secret "Stealth" Depression

See, the "party line" coming out of Beijing says that even with the downturn... and with Americans not buying China's output... Chinese GDP could still grow another 8% this year.

But the facts on the ground tell a different story...

According to Merrill Lynch, China's economy didn't grow at all in the last quarter of 2008. And it's still contracting fast, ever since the start of this year

Of course, official Chinese growth last year topped 9%. But if you did the math the way we do in the U.S. and they do in Europe, the real growth rate — for the last three months of 2008 — was zero

Keep in mind that China needs at least 9% growth to soak up the 24 million new Chinese workers who come of age each year — something even the Chinese Premier doesn't like to mention.

Why the lies? It's a huge con game. Says expat Prof. Tian Xie of Drexel University, China's elaborate campaign to falsify GDP numbers "is all part of a sophisticated strategy to cheat the world." But China can't keep up the deception much longer...

In one huge textile factory — as big as 31 football fields and with 4,000 workers — the owner racked up $200 million in debts. Afraid to tell Beijing, he burned his records and fled the country

Officially, nobody's protesting about losing their jobs or going broke. Unofficially, dozens of riots have broken out in front of closed Chinese factories

1,000 schoolteachers clashed with police over wages in early January. Hundreds of workers swarmed a city government building in Foshan, demanding back pay

In Northern China, a TV journalist covered a story about a hostile labor takeover in a textile mill. Local authorities immediately punished him and pulled the story

Creditors showed up to seize equipment from deadbeat borrowers at a factory in southern China. Police broke up a dozen riots in the aftermath, all of which they hid from the newspapers.

This isn't a modern-day coincidence. In the days of emperors, Chinese generals lied about battle kills... to keep from losing their own heads. In the days of Mao, farmers lied about crop results... even as 20 million Chinese starve to death.

Today, local bureaucrats fudge the books to get ahead in the Party... and the top dogs in Beijing lie to hang onto foreign investors. Padded revenue reports... fake production numbers... overstated employment... it's all part of standard practice.

To say so might not sound politically correct. But ask anyone who's done business there. Keeping a double set of books in China isn't just common, it's considered "good strategy."

Meanwhile, northeast China — home to 110 million people — looks more and more like rusted-out Detroit... only at ten times the scale.

You've also got under-regulated Chinese banks hiding as much as $500 billion in bad debts — China's own "subprime" loans to small businesses and Asian property speculators...

Plus, you've got a $40 billion tab left over from the Beijing Olympics... and a $140 billion tab for rebuilding Sichuan after their 2008 earthquake…

How Long Can China Hide the Truth?

Here's the bottom line:

China — with 80 different car makers to bail out... tens of thousands of huge socialist-era factories... and 100s of millions of workers to support — has a big problem.

Much bigger than they're letting on.

And it's not just China about to take an even bigger hit.

 Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam. Thailand. Malaysia. And Indonesia... just to name a few, all soared thanks to the China boom. Now they're going bust in kind.

Korean production alone is already down 14%. Japan is off 20%. Taiwan's exports have dropped 28.5%. Singapore is already deep into recession. Thailand's decayed into political crisis.

Until U.S. and European consumers come out of their shells, the new Asian meltdown doesn't end any time soon.

You remember how hard the Asian currency crisis hit U.S. markets in 1997. A total "miracle" reversal in the Far East could have much greater impact, especially in today's already battered environment.

And you'll want to take steps immediately to protect yourself, before that new wall of worry reverberates back here in the U.S.

Fortunately, taking those protective steps could be much easier than you might think...

How to Turn the New Asian Meltdown Into Triple-Digit Safe Haven Gains

While Shanghai stocks haven't yet collapsed anything close to what we're seeing on this side of the ocean... it won't be long before they catch up.

Before that happens, there are at least two more simple "super shield" moves you can make to protect yourself and your money... and you can read about both in the free Parachute Portfolio Library I just mentioned.

Neither one requires you to bet in or against Chinese stocks of 2010 or China's market as a whole. Rather, both focus on the Asian market that could backpedal even faster — Japan.

 One takes about five minutes to set up and, in one play, gives you a proxy hedge against the entire Asian downturn. The other is a key "super shield" against a new collapse in Asian currencies.

I'm sure you remember the "Asian Contagion" currency crisis of 1997 and how fast that unraveled. Between 35-40% disappeared from Asian indexes. But anyone on the other side of that trend could have made a bundle.

With a new money meltdown in Asia on the way... as Asian governments race to save their export markets... this move that you'll find in the report gives you that chance.

You'll find both moves I just mentioned — along with five more "super shields" — in your copy of Parachute Portfolio, Volume One: 7 Super Shields Against the Next Round of Market Wipeouts.

This is just one of the reports in the Parachute Portfolio Library put together by a new alliance of concerned market experts, analysts and economists that I'd like to introduce you to.

In fact, I'll send you this private library of reports at no charge, included with your elite membership in this special elite society I've just mentioned.

Only members of this secretive new society will have access to these reports... plus quite a bit more... including nearly $10,000 in member benefits, at no extra charge... just as soon as you accept my special invitation.

But before we get to your special invitation, let me just take a second to introduce myself and this new alliance I've been telling you about...

Your Chance to Get Rich While Making History

My name is Addison Wiggin.

Maybe you know me from two New York Times bestsellers I co-authored, Financial Reckoning Day and Empire of Debt. Or maybe from my recent award-winning documentary I.O.U.S.A.

I've also done many hours worth of interviews on Fox, CBS, MSNBC, NBC, Bloomberg television... as well as on NPR and in The Washington Times and The New York Times... and on local and national radio stations across the country.

In fact, for the better part of the last 15 years... I've dedicated most of my time to researching and writing about markets and economics. Why?

Because I believe in nothing more than I believe in our moral obligation to make the most of the financial opportunities handed to us by past generations... not to mention the importance of the wealth legacy we pass on to our children.

I'm appalled — disgusted, even — by what's happened on Wall Street and in Washington. But I also know it's nothing new.

Which is why, over the last decade and a half, I've done everything in my power to help like-minded Americans recognize these dangers... while still finding ways to protect and grow their own wealth.

That journey has taken me a lot of places. And it's given me a lot of experiences many Americans might never realize.

Sitting down one-on-one to interview Warren Buffett, Paul Volcker, and Alan Greenspan, for instance, which I had the chance to do just as this latest financial crisis started to unwind.

I've also met and talked at length with more than one former Secretary of the Treasury. And I've been lucky enough, as head of a $30 million international market research network, to rub shoulders with some of the world's greatest financial minds.

My team and I publish this research in many ways, as you might already know. In fact, just one of our best known research-sharing services, The Daily Reckoning, has over 400,000 readers.

But today, for the first time, I'd like to tell you about a very different and new kind of alliance. Unlike anything we've ever done before. And it may just be the most exciting thing I've ever been a part of.

It is, I believe, our chance to make history.

People Like You Who Understand Wealth and Money the Way You Do

In this new alliance, you won't find armchair financial prophets and day-trading hopefuls.

It's a brand new alliance for the people like us — the individually ambitious and financially responsible, the informed and the disciplined, those who know what it is to make one's own opportunity.

Among your fellow members, you'll find working economists and analysts... top academics and best-selling financial writers... former financial insiders and international speakers... and more.

We call this new alliance the Richebächer Society, after the man who inspires us — the late great economist, Dr. Kurt Richebächer.

You may remember Kurt.

After all, it was Kurt who first predicted today's financial meltdown — at a time when the Dow crested 11,000 and property values still went up — almost to the letter, back in early 2006.

 And it was Kurt who called the collapse of the Internet bubble in January 2000, only to see it happen two months later... and Kurt who called the collapse of the Brazilian currency in 1998... as well as his call on the Asian crisis in September 1996.

The list goes on.

And those who listened had the opportunity to make fortunes. In fact, in his lifetime, Kurt himself had the ear of world leaders and billionaires, leaders of industry, and other financial "celebrities."

Kurt's friend, former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker, showed up at Kurt's retirement party. Legendary economist Murray Rothbard referenced his work. Former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt once tried to have Kurt silenced, because he criticized what he saw as reckless financial policies of the German government.

Kurt passed away in August 2007, at the age of 88.

It was my privilege and honor to help him share his research with his own "inner circle" of elite readers. Today, it's my duty to make sure his legacy lives on.

Not just for us, but for the handful of like-minded thinkers who I know understand what Kurt did about the integrity of markets, about economies, and about real wealth and how it's created.

That's why I want you to have my special invitation to join us today, as the Richebächer Society's newest member.

In the months since his death, I've spent over $532,171 building this alliance. And the "parachute portfolio" strategy is just a fraction of the opportunities we've managed to uncover so far.

But before you race ahead for details, let's take a close look at the last of the shocking events our new alliance — building as we have off of Dr. Richebächer's own groundbreaking research — has uncovered.

Because, frankly, this third threat could have an even bigger impact on your wealth than any of the hot stocks market for 2010 or property value devastation we've seen so far...

Toxic Timebomb #3: The "Full-On" Collapse of the American Greenback

Brace yourself for America's "Minsky Moment."

 What's a "Minsky Moment?"

Said great American economist Hyman Minsky, it's easy to take on big risks when times are good. Financially, that includes big debts.

But pretty soon, the risks get bigger than the reward... the bills come due... and you have to start dumping assets just to cover your tail.

And that's exactly what's about to happen now. This is the big secret behind today's endless cycle of booms and busts.

 Every bubble has its breaking point .

It's what's already happened to real estate. It's what's happened with the big selloff in best stocks of 2010.

And now it's what's about to happen to the U.S. dollar too... and quite possibly, the idea of America itself.

The Giant Pin About to "Pop" the American Bubble

The U.S. dollar has been the world's "go to" currency for decades, backed by faith in the U.S. economy. But if you get paid in dollars or save in dollars, you have to ask yourself...

How much longer can that last?

Kurt himself wrote his warnings well before this current crisis sent markets collapsing. See, even back in 2006, experts at the Fed were already hinting about "positive inflation" as a tool to fight off an economic collapse.

And Kurt was already warning us against it.

He warned too about the insane debt leverage we were handing over to China and other foreign lenders.

You've seen what's happened since.

The Fed not only ignored these warnings... they're actively moving us down the same destructive path as before... but at a pace unprecedented in history.

I'm sure you can see where that's taking us, too.

With trillions pouring into the black hole of badly managed banks... and pouring into U.S. treasuries, in the form of more loans from the already agitated Chinese.

This cannot continue.

I urge you to protect yourself and your money while you can. Especially now, with just shy of $11 trillion in debt already piled up... another $8.5 trillion already committed to the bailouts... and $3.6 trillion more in new spending on the table.

Think about it this way...

Even now, we're fueling our own "rescue" with unequaled borrowing from overseas. But just how much faith would you put in an I.O.U. from a friend in our situation?

Shrinking job prospects, a sky-high credit card bill, a chronic gambling problem, nervous creditors, and a bad habit of lying about the balance of his bank account... we've spent billions on the bailouts, but haven't done much at all to fix the core weaknesses.

Even Obama admits this can't go on forever.

He recently told 60 Minutes, "If we don't get a handle on this and also start looking at our long-term deficit projections, at a certain point people will stop buying those Treasury bills."

You'd better believe it.

China alone backs U.S. spending with dollar reserves worth nearly $2 trillion. These are the loans we use to fund our bailouts and more. What happens when those loans no longer look like a good deal?

With China slipping into crisis mode, that day could come a lot sooner than you might think. Already, China's prime minister Wen Jiabao says he's "worried." And both China and Russia have already called for a new world reserve currency.

All it would take is a shift of opinion...

And the dollar could go into freefall overnight!

In fact, no matter what our overseas lenders say in public... privately they've already started slinking toward the exits. Three times in the last four months of 2008, they dumped U.S. long term securities. Not just the Chinese, but Japan, India, the Saudis, and Europe... just to name a few.

When even your dollar savings aren't safe... what do you do?

Dollar Super-Hedges That Go Even  Beyond Gold

Gold is obviously one smart place to go when dollars are headed for a sudden down spiral. For instance, consider right now that just 1.1% of China's "other" foreign currency reserves are in gold... compared to nearly 80% gold in our foreign currency reserves here in the U.S.

If China decided to try to match our GDP-to-Gold ratio, that would soak up three-quarters of the world's total gold production for an entire year!

Sound crazy?

They're talking about it.

 Hou Huimin, vice chair of the China Gold Association says, "China should have at least several thousand tons of gold in its reserves, five to six times the officially announced 600 tons."

Even if China switched over to 3% gold reserves — triple the gold reserves they hold now — that would send the bullion price through the skylights.

Hold gold and you could ride that trend.

But holding physical gold isn't your only option.

For instance, in your members-only report, Parachute Portfolio, Volume One: 7 Super Shields Against the Next Round of Market Wipeouts — you'll read about another "super shield" play that can pay you a dividend as high as 14% right now, even as Treasury notes pay next to nothing.

Plus, in your second report, called Parachute Portfolio, Volume Two: The Only 5 "Long" Market Moves You Need to Make in 2009-2010, you can read about a second move that lets you get gold's inflation-protection power at one-tenth the spot price of bullion.

You'll also discover a third inflation-beating move that should soar, given the tidal wave of government cash in the pipeline... plus, two more moves as piles of that money flow into "green" technology and crumbling U.S. infrastructure.

And of course, as a new member of the Richebächer Society, you'll also get a free copy of my own 218-page book on the coming greenback crisis, called The Demise of the Dollar and Why It's Great for Your Investments.

This book sells on Amazon. But I'll send it out to you free, the moment you accept my special invitation. I only hope that I'll hear back from you in time...

The Only Financial "Playbook" Worth Following During 2009-2010

Look, here's the bottom line.

I know you can easily find "experts" out there with two-bit explanations of what's going on. I know you're already swarmed by headlines and financial shows, newsletters, magazines and more.

Every one of them with something to say. With some who are right on the money and others who haven't a clue. But the brand new Richebächer Society isn't any of that.

The idea behind our alliance is much more simple...

See, we don't plan to wait for someone else to "fix" this mess. We don't plan to sit by and watch it ravage our wealth, either. We're not looking for tin-pan insights or cheap thrills.

Instead I've organized what could be the best team of analysts in the business — lead by a real economist with 26 years of top analysis experience — to take a whole new kind of look at what's really going on.

This is not insight for small-time players. This is advanced and serious research. For equally serious and enlightened men and women.

I have reason to believe you belong with us. And I sincerely hope you'll accept my invitation...

Your Chance to Join the Ranks of the World's Elite 

Simply reply to your invitation at the end of this letter, and you'll receive a broadcast of a very special interview with Dr. Richebächer's natural successor and the editor of our new Richebächer Society, economist Robert Parenteau.

 Rob was the chief U.S. economist and investment strategist for RCM, one of the investment management firms of Allianz Global Investors. And has over 20 years experience guiding global asset allocation, sector research, and equity selection for that same firm's top portfolio managers.

Rob has also founded and runs his own market analysis firm, rooted deeply in the same kind of disciplined macroeconomics Dr. Richebächer subscribed to in his lifetime.

In his members-only interview, he's going to tell you exactly how to read these three "toxic timebomb " events we talked about. He'll also walk you through the entire strategy you'll find in the Parachute Portfolio Library I'll send.

In fact, I've arranged for you to receive the full library as well, so Rob can explain it all with the full grounding of his considerable expertise.

But that's just the start. Let's just run through what you'll receive the moment you decide to join...

Everything You'll Get as a New Member of Our Special Alliance

Once you accept my special invitation, here's what you'll receive...

1) First, You'll Immediately Receive the Complete "Parachute Portfolio Library"...

The most urgent thing I can do for you, the moment you tell me you're ready to join, is to rush you the complete Parachute Portfolio Library we talked about.

 This is the set of two straight-talking special research reports that reveal exactly how to hedge yourself against the remainder of this crisis... and how to find the handful of recommendations you actually can still count on, even during the rest of the turbulence ahead.

Inside The Parachute Portfolio, Volume One: 7 Super Shields Against the Next Round of Market Wipeouts, you'll find a definitive guide to seven "super shields" against the most toxic economic events of 2009-2010, each one of them easy to follow and spelled out in full detail. 

And in your copy of The Parachute Portfolio, Volume Two: The Only 5 "Long" Market Moves You Need to Make in 2009-2010, you'll find five more market plays not only safe enough to make over the next 12 to 24 months... but with the potential to double or even triple your gains.

You won't have to wait long to receive this library. In fact, the moment you agree to accept my invitation, I'll rush you a private password and a web link where you can download these reports.

Your two-volume Parachute Portfolio Library is conservatively worth $98. But both reports in the library are yours free, just as soon as you accept my invitation to join.

 2) Next You'll Get a FREE 218-page Copy of My Popular and Newly Updated Book, The Demise of the Dollar and Why It's Great For Your Investments

With a wall of bailout reserves backing up in the vaults of stingy banks... and U.S. consumers too terrified right now to spend... we're watching prices fall in most big assets, not take off.

Yet gold is creeping upward. Why? And what's the truth about gold and the role it could play in protecting your wealth from the rest of this crisis? Many experts are getting it wrong.

This book not only sets the record straight, it also outlines a total of seven ways to protect and grow your wealth — not just in spite of a coming U.S. currency collapse, but as a direct result.

This book debuted on Amazon.com at $20.

But I've made a special arrangement to get you a complimentary copy, as one of the gifts you're entitled to as a charter Richebächer Society subscriber.

3) You'll Immediately Start Getting Weekly Portfolio Updates:

Rob Parenteau has agreed to email you targeted updates every week on everything vital that's happening with the "parachute plays" outlined in your member library... with the economy... or with the other opportunities you'll discover as a Richebächer Society subscriber.

Given that Rob is not just an economist with 24 years of experience as a global investment manager... but also the senior proprietor and sole founder of a macro-strategy investment firm... that's an enormous "members-only" advantage right there.

And worth a fortune, all by itself.

Easily, a research service like that is worth at least $549 per year. However, you'll get Rob's weekly briefings free for a full year, along with everything else, when you accept my special Richebächer Society invitation.

4) You'll Also Start Getting Our Elite Monthly Bulletins:

For nearly two decades, the Richebächer Letter has been a trusted "insider's" resource to some of the world's most intelligent and advanced investors and market commentators in the world.

With Dr. Richebächer gone, we had to withhold the letter until we could find someone as skilled at stripping away the mainstream fluff... and as brilliant at unearthing and revealing the kinds of powerful, one-of-a-kind insights the good doctor himself used to produce.

But with economist Robert Parenteau guiding the Richebächer Society, we finally have someone who helps the great tradition of the Richebächer Letter continue, bringing fresh new and in-depth analysis to our small circle of elite readership, every month without fail.

I know of no resource like it.

When Dr. Richebächer was at the helm, the letter itself cost members $497 per year. But you'll not only get the letter, as the cornerstone of my invitation, but nearly $10,000 in the rest of these new member benefits... at no additional fee.

Of course, there's still more...

5) You'll Also Have Unlimited Access to The Society's New "Blog & Daily Dialogue" Forum:

Dr. Richebächer pounded out his first issues and analysis on a typewriter. Today, we have access to technology the good Doctor never imagined.

Who could guess, for instance, what he would say as we launch our entirely new members-only "Blog & Daily Dialogue" forum.

This is your online space where Richebächer Society members can read new market insights and launch into exchanges with other Society members.

Frankly, this is too new for me to know how to value it. But it's clearly worth at least $49. However, it's yours as a member. Use it as often as you like, whenever you like.

Free for an entire year, as a charter member of the brand new Richebächer Society.

What's more...

6) Every Quarter, You're Invited to the Private Society Conference Call

Each financial quarter, we'll gather on a member's only conference call.

You can participate from anywhere. And you can listen live as Rob and other financial experts dissect what's happening now — and next — across the markets and the world economy.

If the timing isn't convenient, you'll have the option of listening online or downloading an audio recording. You'll also get the chance to download and print out the full transcript.

A ticket for this kind of session with a top financial analyst and seasoned economist — live — would be worth at least $249 for even just a single call. As a member, you'll get four of these members-only conference calls per year, for a total value of $996.

And it's also included with your Richebächer Society membership. Just in case you're keeping tabs, that's already $2,209 in value.

And there's still more...

7) You'll Also Get Dr. Richebächer's Famous "Last Interview"

 Every member will immediately receive a full transcript of Dr. Richebächer's now-famous "Last Interview" with investing expert Eric Fry, recorded live at Kurt's home on the French Riviera.

You'll read as Kurt exposes one prescient forecast after another about the financial crises... which at the time, had yet to unravel. From his call about the peak in real estate... to the impending implosion of credit markets and the Wall Street catastrophe... and quite a bit more.

What's especially shocking, though, is how much more we're in for if Kurt's already stunning forecasts continue to prove true. You'll see what I mean when you read the full interview.

This full, uncensored transcript is easily worth $149. But you can download your copy immediately, free with the rest of your Richebächer Society materials, just as soon as you agree to sign on.

Plus...

8) You'll Also Receive a "Virtual Key" to $6,947 Worth of Richebächer Research

Your membership also includes a "virtual key" to the final seventeen and a half years of Dr. Richebächer's personal market research and analysis. It's all there, available in a fully searchable online archive.

This is like having your own veritable Encyclopedia of Modern Markets and Economics.

In my opinion, this is a priceless resource.

But if I had to put a monetary value on it, the most natural thing to figure out what others would have paid to gain access to Dr. Richebächer's brilliant research over that same period — a total of $6,947.50, at standard subscription rates.

You'll pay nothing of the sort.

The entire seventeen-and-a-half year archive is yours to use as often as you like — including free access for a full year — just as soon as you accept my invitation.

There's still more...

9) You're Immediately Invited to All Private Richebächer Society Gatherings

Every year, we host one of the largest and best-known financial conferences, the Agora Financial Investment Symposium in Vancouver. For the first time this year, we'll be hosting a special private event at the same conference, exclusively for Richebächer Society members.

We'll sip fine wines, mingle, and then listen to a private briefing from an invited guest speaker. As a member of the Society, you're automatically invited to this private event. And if you can't get to Vancouver this year, you can watch the speaker's presentation on the private Richebächer Society website.

This private event could easily be $100 per person. However, as a member, you and a friend are both automatically entitled to attend these side events at no additional charge.

10) You'll Play an Official Role in Awarding the Annual Richebächer Scholarship Prize

One of the greatest missions of Dr. Richebächer's 42-year career — and one of his great concerns in life — was that the study of macroeconomics was all but dead in today's colleges and universities.

That's why I'm proud to announce that the official Richebächer Economics Scholarship, to be awarded to a student with excellence or promise in the study of macroeconomics.

This crisis, these half-baked bailouts, they largely result from a widespread lack of understanding of basic economics. You'll have your chance, as a Society subscriber, to vote on candidates learning how to change that by the pursuit of excellence in economics studies.

11) You'll Help Nominate the Next Recipient of the Prestigious Richebächer Award

As I said, in the past, I've sat for long one-on-one interviews with two former Federal Reserve chairman... two former White House Treasury Secretaries... the world's richest investors... and more.

I've also appeared on CNBC, MSNBC, Fox, and more, to talk about some of the very same issues you and I discussed here today. That kind of exposure gives me access to some of the top minds in markets and economics today.

It's also going to give us, as members of the Richebächer Society, a special opportunity to reward those who continue the work Kurt Richebächer dedicated himself to during his lifetime.

And as a member, you'll have a chance to be part of that.

Each year, we'll select a recipient for the honorary Richebächer Memorial Award for Excellence. Anybody distinguished in the fields of economics or financial research could be a candidate. And when the time comes, you'll have a spot on the member "board" that helps us make our decision.

And finally, if you respond right now...

12) You'll Get the "First Interview" With Economist Rob Parenteau

When we lost Dr. Richebächer at age 88, we knew immediately that we couldn't rush the search for a spiritual torch-bearer and natural successor to his legacy.

Economist Robert Parenteau more than fills those shoes.

You'll see why when you dig into the printed and audio "first interview" with Rob that's also included once you sign on to try the Richebächer Society.

Even now, Rob sees even greater debt-driven dangers lurking on our horizon. The good news is that, he also has a very simple strategy that he can share with you, including things you can do now — immediately — to prepare.

Few are willing or able to share these details. But Rob will reveal all.

To get this benefit — worth at least $149 — free as a new member, I must hear back from you today.

All told, everything you get when you sign on adds up to...

$9,554 in Member Benefits (And They Can Be Yours Today — At A Remarkable Rate)

Naturally, the Richebächer Society is for elite members... individuals who are ready and able to grasp advanced insights and who understand the value of "Big Picture" thinking.

Which is precisely why I've chosen to write to you today.

It's also why my team has so carefully put together this package of new member benefits — worth at least $9,554 total — to help assist and inform you immediately, should you decide to join.

Please understand, this is not a conventional research service. This new alliance is specifically designed for men and women who can appreciate the higher quality of service and analysis the Richebächer Society intends to offer.

Like Dr. Richebächer, our chief analyst Robert Parenteau is a published and working economist. His insights will not pull punches. Nor will they treat you like an amateur.

In fact, it's no accident that Rob has been a chartered financial analyst for nearly 19 years. Nor that he's also a macroeconomics Research Associate and lecturer at the prestigious Levy Economics Institute of Bard College... and a scholar in the works of economist Hyman P. Minsky.

I did NOT want day trades or watered-down, feel-good market research for Richebächer Society members. And I know you wouldn't want that either.

So as long as you know the level of what you'll receive, I'm confident you'll enjoy it just as much as the rest of our "inner circle" of elite members.

Of course, creating an elite circle of like-minded thinkers like this has challenges. As I said, I've made a substantial investment in building this alliance already.

From hiring Robert and his team to hosting the archives... sending out the monthly briefings and weekly alerts... creating the conference calls and the transcripts... arranging society functions... you can imagine that it adds up quickly.

So, to make sure we can sustain the highest level quality... in both the research we produce and the members we attract... here's what we're going to do.

I would like to give you membership in our brand new Richebächer Society... including benefits worth a minimum of $9,554... at the cost of only a subscription to the elite research advisory letter itself, which was set long ago at $497. You pay nothing additional for the other benefits.

That works out to just $9 and change per week — less than you'd shell out for a handful of financial magazines or leading business newspapers.

That's truly an impressive deal.

Here's one more thing...

Your 30-Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee

Simply fill out the charter membership invitation that follows this letter.

Your Richebächer Society benefits will start arriving immediately. Look over our research. Start using the insights to safeguard your wealth. Review Rob's recommendations for how to multiply gains, even over the duration of this world-shaking financial crisis.

You've got a full 30 days to decide for yourself if everything I've said about the new Richebächer Society lives up to the deal. If I'm wrong or if it just turns out — for any reason — this isn't your cup of tea, shoot me an email or call the member's hotline. I'll send you a full refund, even if it's the last day of your trial period.

Of course, you'll still get to keep the free Parachute Portfolio Library, your copy of the interview transcripts with Dr. Richebächer and Rob Parenteau, the 218-page copy of The Demise of the Dollar and Why It's Great For Your Investments, and all the issues and briefings you've already received.

No questions asked.

No Matter What, You Have Nothing to Lose

You risk nothing.

For an experience inside of a community unlike any other.

Still trying to decide?

If you're the kind of person who worries about bond investments... if you have substantial wealth that's impacted by inflation or currency swings... or if you own real estate, either private or commercial, worth quite a bit of money... then you're the kind of world-class individual who belongs inside this inner circle.

If you're heading up your own growing business empire... if you're the kind of person who understands the worth of offshore bank accounts... overseas investments... or the simple unvarnished truth about markets, wealth and the economy... then this is for you.

Even if you're simply as morally offended as I am by the tsunami of debt and reckless spending that's taken hold with American consumers... and worse, our own government... and the shameful multi-billion dollar handouts they've doled out almost unrestricted to the banks and financiers...

Miserable Rich Pick Top Stocks 2010 For You

Not one person in 100 has the guts to do what I'm about to show you. 

And I don't want you to do it either.

Not if…

You're going to feel guilty driving a better car… living in a bigger house… or thinking the champagne your friends serve tastes like swill…

Don't do this if you have any hang-ups about money or being wealthy.

Because if that's the case, this ain't the letter for you.

Don't do this, either, if you don't have guts. Or you don't like hitting home runs. Or you don't have an intense, overwhelming desire to pile up riches.

In short… this letter isn't for wimps.

In fact, it isn't for the mainstream in any way at all.

I want only a few people. A handful. And only the right ones.

Everyone else, for all I care, can take a flying leap.

Still with me? Good.

Because that's exactly what I guessed about you… which is why I'm writing you in the first place. 

See, on the surface the markets might look crazy. But look deeper. 

We stand at a turning point in market history. We're looking at what could be the golden opportunity of a generation. Maybe several generations. 

Quite possibly, the best and biggest opportunity to get rich this century.

And all you have to do is take one simple action. If you think you can handle it.

Last Time, This Move Paid Out 15,090% in Less Than Two Years

The last time anyone did what I'm about to show you, players working the move saw a 15,090% gain in less than two years. 

Just before that, the same move paid out over 13,025%… in 22 months.

It could easily do as well… or better… today.

But I want to make this very clear: To accept this invitation… you want to make absolutely sure your mind is ready to accept the recommendation I'll make on Friday, May 29.

You have the steel to handle a little criticism. Or maybe a lot. Become a player in this market and the people closest to you might think you're out of your mind.

Your wife will try to talk you out of it. 

But if this pays off… she'll thank you for the new diamond necklace you can buy with a tiny fraction of your profits.

Your friends won't understand even if you explain it ten times. 

But if this pays off… they'll be hitting you up for loans. 

Can't handle that? Might have to get new friends.

And your new friends might not be up to your new standards. 

Their champagne? Not good enough, compared to yours. 

Their private jets? Not fast enough, compared to yours. 

The mountain air at their retreats? Not sweet enough, compared to yours. 

That's how you'd be "Miserable Rich."

Think you're up for that? Great. But the players who do this right? They have more than this steel I just described.

You also have the stomach to sit on a paper loss. Here's how this works. It's very simple. All you have to do is follow through on some basic recommendations I'm going to email to you at 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29. 

You place a phone call the following Monday if you want to execute the recommendations.

Fair warning. Some of these positions, you might see them fall 50, 60, even 70%. 

That's when you should want them more.

Sounds crazy, I know. But that's what successful players in this market do. In fact, you'll actually start to look forward to the times when these positions pull back.

It just means you have a chance to pick up more bargains. It's like a gift from the market gods. It could put you in an even better spot if it all pays off.

By now, I think you get the idea:

No Wimps Need Apply 

See, this invitation isn't for conservative investors. But it's not for traders or speculators, either. 

This is for a tiny minority willing to learn about one simple action that ― if you have the guts and the patience ― could leave you set for life.

Before I reveal the secret, let me make sure you don't get the wrong idea. Let me tell you what I'm not inviting you to do.

See, I'm not just inviting you to subscribe to an investment newsletter.

This isn't only about monthly top stocks picks for 2010.

This is all about an adventure.

And if I'm right… and you get "Miserable Rich"… you won't need another top stocks pick ever again.

I'm going to issue eight recommendations at 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29. You can decide whether to follow each one, and then call a broker on Monday the 1st.

Then sit on them until you get a moon shot. I'll make a few adjustments now and then, and I will never leave you in the dark. 

But because you have the guts and patience to be a player in this market, you'll accept that at least half of the positions we take will go nowhere, or maybe go to zero. Most of the rest? They could deliver triple-digit gains. 

And one of them could make you "Miserable Rich."

I'm not inviting you to join a trading service. 

This isn't about weekly options picks. I won't flood your inbox with more recommendations than you have time to play. You won't have to keep a window open on your computer all day to track your positions.

When I issue these eight recommendations at 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29, all you need to do if you want in is call a broker the following Monday and carry out my recommendations.

It's that simple. A half-hour of easy reading once I send you the report, and a 15-minute phone call to a broker. No special accounts to set up, no special skills needed.

And then you wait. We might be waiting six months, we might be waiting a year, two years, three years. I don't know.

See, players in this market don't trade in and out. "Buy and hold" might be a killer in the conventional top stocks market for 2010. But in the sector I'm talking about, it's the only way to get "Miserable Rich."

I'm not inviting you to buy a "program." 

This isn't some sort of "system" or "course."

You won't get a three-ring binder filled with hundreds of pages of gibberish that are supposed to show you the way to riches… if you can follow instructions so obscure they'd confuse a nuclear physicist.

Players in this market keep it simple.

There's going to be one simple set of recommendations that arrives in your email inbox at 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29. Just follow those recommendations and you're good to go. 

So there you go. I'm not pitching you a trading service or a "system." 

And again, this isn't about investing, or trading, or speculating. 

This is about having a chance to transform your life, your existence, your wealth ― beyond your wildest dreams.

OK, enough about you. By now you're probably wondering who the hell I am. Or actually, who am I to be talking like this?

How Real People Get "Miserable Rich" ― And You Can Too

My name is Byron King.

You probably already know me from my monthly research advisory Outstanding Investments. It's been named the #1 performing newsletter over a five-year period by Hulbert Financial Digest in 2005, 2006, and 2007.

So chances are you already know about my background as an oilfield geologist, Navy pilot, lawyer, and armchair historian.

But you might not know this. From an early age, I've been fascinated by people who got "Miserable Rich."

Growing up in Pittsburgh, you can't help it. School kids learn all about the legendary fortunes that got their start there. Carnegie with steel. Frick with coal.  The Mellons with banking, and later, aluminum, oil, and other hard assets.

That was America's golden era of industrial growth.

And beneath it all lay a foundation of hard money. 

Gold and silver.

Of course, school kids don't learn about that part.

But still… I knew instinctively there's only a handful of ways to build real wealth.  You grow it. You mine it. Or you manufacture it.

That's a big reason I chose geology for my major when I went off to Harvard. I wanted to study the science of pulling scarce resources out of the ground. And I filled out my course load with economics classes.

It was the 1970s. President Nixon had cut the dollar's last remaining tie to gold.  It set off a decade of inflation that crippled the U.S. economy. It was also a decade of rapidly-rising gold prices.

The econ professors at Harvard all thought Nixon did the right thing. Gold was a "barbarous relic," they said.

That didn't quite make sense to me. Gold was part of the human economy for 5,000 years or more. What's so different now?

And it made even less sense when I went on to law school. I studied old cases like the ones that came up after President Franklin Roosevelt seized the gold of U.S. citizens in 1933.

Mind you, by 1980 I saw gold making a run past $800 an ounce.

That was amazing enough. The performance of tiny gold miners was even more stunning.

Players in that wild and wooly market got "Miserable Rich."

13,025% in Just 22 Months!

A little company called Copper Lake Exploration made a moon shot. A breathtaking 13,025% in just 22 months.

$10,000 could have become $1,302,500. That's the sort of play that makes you "Miserable Rich."

You know what happened next. After 1980, gold sank into a 20-year bear market. 

But gold never left my mind. I kept on watching and reading and talking with people in the know.

I served in the Navy in the 1980s and stayed in the Naval Reserve during the 1990s. And I made frequent trips to the Persian Gulf region. Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait. Huge new fortunes were being built on a foundation of oil wealth. I mean, entire cities built from scratch. Sort of like Pittsburgh back in the good old days.

And here's what else struck me about Middle Eastern cultures. People there are hyper-focused on gold. Have been for thousands of years.

Women throughout the region wear gold jewelry. Gold markets called souks are a common sight.

And every time I went over there, I brought home a little gold. I knew that gold wouldn't stay stuck in a bear market forever.

Besides, even in those years, a handful of players still made huge gains from tiny top gold stocks for 2010. Like one called Arequipa Resources. It blasted up 2,600% in a year before it was bought out.

$10,000 could have become $260,000. That's the sort of play that makes you "Miserable Rich."

Soon, the 1990s passed into the 2000s.  And I started reading The Daily Reckoning ― Bill Bonner's daily e-letter.

What drew me in? I thought he was right on with his "Trade of the Decade." Sell top stocks of 2010, buy gold.

You have to remember how gutsy that was at the time. No wonder when I got the chance to join the industry-leading analysts of Agora Financial, I leapt at it.

Bill's call was dead right. Gold zoomed up from $252 in 2001 to more than $900 today.

And that whole time, readers of my monthly research advisory Outstanding Investments racked up even more impressive gains in precious metals top stocks to buy.

A phenomenal track record, right? There's just one little problem.

Of course, gains like these are terrific. But they won't make you "Miserable Rich."

You want to be "Miserable Rich?" Then you have to get into the "junior" gold companies. 

These are the up-and-coming outfits. They explore for gold deposits. Build mines from scratch. Bring new mines into production.

Like Copper Lake Exploration in 1978. Or Arequipa Resources in 1996.

15,900% Gains in Less Than Two Years!

Here's the hitch. Companies with that potential that are tiny. Microcaps, really.  So small, I won't dare recommend them.

Not to the readers of Outstanding Investments. Imagine tens of thousands of them piling into such top tiny stocks to buy. That would artificially jack up the prices. Then they'd come crashing back to earth. Not good. Terrible, actually!

In fact, a typical gold stocks to buy I recommend in Outstanding Investments has a market cap 447 times the kind of juniors I'm talking about.

Now, that bigger stock is already up nearly 100% since I recommended it. If the "big boys" can do that well, imagine what these tiny juniors could do.

So there I was in 2006. Aurelian Resources made the biggest gold discovery in decades. Players in the junior market rode it from 25 cents a share… to over 40 dollars.

And my hands were tied.

But still, you see the potential…

$10,000 could have become $1,590,000. That's the sort of play that makes you "Miserable Rich."

And there are so many other examples I could cite…

But I wanted to do something to give people like you the opportunity to become a player in this market. To give you a chance of getting "Miserable Rich" off the next Aurelian.

Now… after nearly two years of research, I've hit on the solution.

It's a one-time opportunity. Something I've never done before. And that's why I'm writing you today about the recommendations I'm going to send you on Friday, May 29… if you have the courage.

Because as I said before, this could be the golden opportunity of a generation.  Or several generations. Or a lifetime. Yours to seize now and become "Miserable Rich."

So listen up and listen good. Because this isn't just your chance for me to make you boatloads of money. I'm talking whole cargo ships full of money. Now's the time. I mean, right now, this instant.

We get started at 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29.

Mark Your Calendar ― 5 PM EDT, Friday, May 29

At that moment, I will release a special report. It's called Set for Life: Eight Keys to Getting "Miserable Rich" with Gold.

It will contain eight "junior" mining picks. These are the small-cap, even microcap, companies that explore for gold and develop mines before they're ready for production.

That was the story of Copper Lake Exploration, which leaped 13,025% in 22 months. And Aurelian Resources ― up 15,900% in 2006-07.

Look back across the decades: A development or exploration company that hits the big-time can return you 15 to 20 times more than holding bullion.

Today, many of these companies are cheap as dirt after the beating certain gold stocks took in 2008. Many have already had those 50, 60, and 70 percent drops I told you about. That means they're more than ready for a moon shot.

Now you can grab 300 shares of all of them for less than $10,000.

You can be a master in this market ― you can give yourself a shot at becoming "Miserable Rich" ― for an insanely low admission price.

And you can get started at 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29.

That timing gets you into the junior gold market at a historic turning point. 

But why Friday at 5PM? You see, I have to wait till the market closes to issue these recommendations. But I also want to give you as much time as possible before the next opening bell to act on these opportunities so you can have a chance to get "Miserable Rich."

Once you do, you can pull the trigger with a broker before the market opens on Monday the 1st.

But fair warning. I've said it before: At least half of these will probably go nowhere. But the rest could deliver triple-digit gains that could more than cover whatever losses you have from the turkeys.

And one of them could make you "Miserable Rich."

I don't know which one that's going to be. If I did, I'd recommend only that one. 

But let me tell you about one of the most likely candidates. After you see what this company's up to, I bet you'll agree.

This Guy Built the World's Most Profitable Gold Miner From Scratch… and He's About to Do It Again!

Let me tell you about a guy who got "Miserable Rich" in the gold business.

He started rebuilding a struggling junior gold miner in 1993. It was worth about $50 million.

Today it's worth $8 billion. It's one of the world's top three producers.

A $1.62 share price became $51.06. An eye-popping gain of 3,052%.

And a compounded annual growth rate of 32%. An average 32% a year ― year after year.

So he turned a lot of heads a few years ago. He up and left this powerhouse he built.… and took over a struggling junior miner few people ever heard of.

"What, is he crazy?" people asked. "Does he think he can do it all over again?"

Yes, he does. And I think he's going to pull it off.

His company's now sitting on a patch of desert that could yield one of the Western Hemisphere's biggest gold finds. It could rival a famous gold field nearby that's home to 180 million ounces.

And don't get the idea this company is some sort of post-retirement playground for this guy. He owns 23% of the firm. He means business. He wants to get "Miserable, MISERABLE Rich!"

And, he's already made many insightful investors "Miserable Rich."

If you missed out the first time, here's your second chance.

You can learn the name of this company in the special report, Set for Life: Eight Keys to Getting "Miserable Rich" with Gold. I release it at 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29. You can secure access to your copy right now. I'll tell you how at the end of this letter.

Right now, let me tell you about another junior with ridiculous "Miserable Rich" potential that you'll find in that report.

Buy This Stock and Make Up to 20 Times Your Money

In May of 2008, this company hit the jackpot. I mean, serious "Miserable Rich" potential.

Only no one outside the company realized it at the time.

Word's just now starting to get out. So let me explain before it becomes common knowledge. 

This company found a deposit of 4.5 million ounces of gold.

At $900 an ounce, that's $4 billion of gold!

Say it costs $450 to get the gold out of the ground. That's $2 billion in profit.

Compare that to the market cap of this tiny dynamo. Less than $100 million.

We're talking a company that could go from $100 million to $2 billion in the next three years ― a 20-bagger!

What's the catch, you ask?

None. In fact, the upside could be even bigger. This deposit lies a half-hour drive away from the marquee project of a major gold producer. 

So there's probably a lot more gold still to be found. Drilling results indicate this company is sitting on five other deposits nearby that could have even more gold than the one already discovered.

So a 20-bagger could be just the beginning.

The details are yours in the special report.

It's also where you'll find the skinny on this potential 50-bagger.

This Guy Made Millions on Gold in the 70s. Now He's Following a Gold Strategy Proven to Turn Every $1 into $50

Here's the story of another guy who got "Miserable Rich" in the gold business.  Only he did it during gold's big run-up in the 1970s. When gold was $150, he was predicting $900. 

The day after gold hit its $850 high in January 1980, he sold his position. His profit? More than $15 million.

Then he got out. He said the gold bull market was over.

Of course, he was right.

Most guys of his generation are retired or dead now. Not this one. 

In fact, he's on the verge of his biggest triumph yet.

He got back into gold at just the right time. In 2001, when gold was near its bear-market lows of $252, he told Forbes it was going to $440. And he's ridden it higher ever since.

So what's he doing now?

He's running a tiny company sitting on huge chunks of land in the Southern Hemisphere proven to be swimming with gold deposits. Geologists have turned up 40 million ounces in the region over the last 15 years.

And he doesn't plan to develop any of it.

What?! Is he crazy?

Yeah, like a fox. See, his strategy is to farm out the hard work to other companies. They're the ones who'll develop the sites and bring them into production.

And his little firm? No equipment expenses, no vast payroll to meet. Just sit back and collect a healthy cut of the profits. Royalties.

That's exactly the strategy a gold company called Franco-Nevada used earlier this decade. It popped from a few bucks a share to $180. Early investors made 50 times their money.

Don't miss out on this veteran gold guru's last and greatest act. Get the details in the special report, Set for Life: Eight Keys to Getting "Miserable Rich" with Gold. You can secure your copy right now… that way I can send it to your email inbox at exactly 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29.

Inside your special report, you'll also learn about these fantastic opportunities…

  • These guys did the 14 years of hard work. You could collect the payoff.

  • This company fought one obstacle after another for 14 long years to open a gold mine in one of the most promising locations in the Americas. The first gold and silver came out of the ground in November 2008.

    Over the next 15 years, this single mine should generate 1.7 million ounces of gold, and 64 million ounces of silver.

    An easy ten-bagger.

  • Big profits five years ago. MASSIVE profits now.

    Geologists who studied this company's biggest project in 2004 figured it would make big profits with gold at $400 and silver at $6.50. Now gold is $900 and silver $12.60. And this is just the beginning. This firm's gold production is set to grow 42% in the next three years, and silver production 69%.

  • All the right numbers, all going in the right direction.

    You can get into the best stocks on the heels of some great news. Its geologists have just concluded the company's sitting on 21% more gold than previous estimates. That's a total of 2.05 million ounces this firm is bringing into production. Quarterly production numbers? Up 38% in a year. And estimates of its future gold resources just grew 129%. This one's got a whole lot of room to run…

  • One mine up and running… four more to go!

    I've found a terrific play on that other "money metal" ― silver. One mine is already in production, with four more in the pipeline. This company's sitting on as much as $4.9 billion of silver. (And gold, lead, and zinc.)

    Its geologists keep finding more and more. Its potential metal holdings have grown 18-fold in the last four years! It could easily double your money in the next six months, and maybe 18-fold over the next four years!

And I have one more silver play with the potential to make you "Miserable Rich."

How This Company Could Collect $250 Million in Silver From the Canadian Government

Think of the words "gold rush." Chances are you think of California in 1849… or Canada's Klondike in 1898.

But that's all history, right? Your chance to cash in was over long before you were born.

Think again. You can still get "Miserable Rich" off the Klondike more than a century later.

There's a minimum 20 million ounces of silver in the Klondike still to be had ― free, courtesy of the Canadian government.

Here's a quick history lesson. The Klondike gold rush lasted just seven years.  The amateurs panning for gold? They were gone by 1905. 

The professionals remained. They built mines and hauled out gold and silver for decades. But even they ended up bailing in the 1980s. Not because they ran out of metal, but because they ran out of money. They thought those record prices of the 70s would last forever. They got burned.

So what about that 20 million ounces of silver, you ask? That's what one of the companies left behind in 1989 in just one mining district in northern Canada. Once abandoned, the site became the Canadian government's property.

A good deal for Canada? No, it was an expensive mess. See, the old company left behind a toxic stew of chemicals from decades of sloppy mining techniques.

But in April 2006, the Canadian government hit on a solution. It signed a deal to pay a small environmental company $50 million to clean up the mines… and the company gets to keep all the silver it can dig up, absolutely free.

This company's CEO is confident his people will find 20 million ounces of silver in just one part of this vast complex.

Now, let's assume the worst. Assume that mine cleanup eats every dollar the Canadian government gives this company.

That still leaves minimum 20 million ounces of free silver.

At current prices, that's $250 million. This company's current market cap? Just $50 million. You could make five times your money.

And again, that's assuming the worst. That's assuming only this one part of the region still has silver to be found. This company's geologists are hard at work at 35 other sites nearby.

Your price of entry? Less than $2 a share.

Again, all of this is spelled out for you in great detail in the special report I'm releasing right at 5 PM on Friday, May 29 ― Set for Life: Eight Keys to Getting "Miserable Rich" with Gold.

You'll get the names and ticker symbols of all these top stocks 2010. Most of them are under $3 a share, and not a one costs more than $9, so you can load up on 'em.  In fact, you can pick up 300 shares of each for under $10,000.

I'll say it one more time. At least half of these will probably go nowhere. The rest could deliver as much as triple-digit gains. 

And one could make you "Miserable Rich."

But don't take my word about why this approach can be such a wealth-maker.  Take the word of one of the most successful gold mining executives out there.  I'm talking about a big-time player in this market ― a guy who built his company from "junior" to "major" in less than five years.

Why Is the CEO of One of the Major Gold Producers Selling Shares of His Company to Buy Juniors?

If you know anything about gold stocks 2010, you know about the phenomenal story behind Yamana Gold.

Peter Marrone founded the company in 2003.

It sold for less than $2 a share at the time.

Early on, willing buyers approached him several times and asked if he wanted to sell the company to them. Each time, he said no.

They thought he was nuts to walk away.

But he knew something they didn't. He knew gold was heading into a long-term bull market. And he could make far more money over time building his company than selling out for a fast buck.

Today Yamana ranks among the world's biggest gold miners. Its shares zoomed up to nearly $20 in just five years ― a classic ten-bagger. 

Point is, Marrone knows his stuff.

So why in the world is he selling off shares of his own top stocks and buying shares of junior gold miners?

He says don't get the wrong idea. He still believes in his company and he's heavily invested in it.

But it's not what's going to deliver big gains in the short term. It's not what'll make him even more "Miserable Rich" than his own firm made him. As he puts it, "Sometimes it's not a bad idea to take a little bit of money and come into [juniors] at the right time."

In other words: Marrone's already done the hard work of building a world-changing company in just five years. And growing it ten-fold.

Now he wants to put some of his hard-earned wealth into other companies with the same ten-bagger potential. Like the ones I've been telling you about.

Imagine piling a ten-bagger on top of a ten-bagger!

This gets to the core of what I'm talking about.

If the CEO of one of the world's best-run gold producers is putting his money into juniors… shouldn't you be doing the same?

I'll show you exactly how you can do it. Become a player in this market. Become "Miserable Rich."

But since it's my aim to make you boatloads of money, I need to do something else first. I need to lay out one more simple, brutal fact to make sure you're up for what we're starting on Friday, May 29.

URGENT WARNING: Whatever You Do, Don't Try This at Home

OK, you've stayed with me this far. Now I have to tell you the most important thing you need to know. And this applies whether or not you accept my invitation.

I'm deadly serious. I've already told you I'm looking for only the right courageous people to follow through on this opportunity that arrives Friday, May 29. 

See, it's not enough to be jacked up on the idea of juniors. You need to know what you're doing. Because let me tell you what's about to happen. 

Some reckless folk are going to stop reading this letter and start searching for information about junior gold miners. They'll figure they can identify what juniors to invest in on their own.

And they will get eaten alive. They will destroy whatever wealth they invest in the sector.

See, there are about 5,000 juniors out there. And only about 250 of them will ever pull a speck of gold out of the ground. The rest will go to zero. Zip, zilch, nothing. 

What's more, most of the 250 that do produce gold won't produce enough to ever make a profit. Or only a modest gain.

Only a handful of these juniors ― 15 at the most ― have the potential to make you "Miserable Rich."

Even if these go-it-alone people do all their homework, they'll still destroy their wealth. Even if they study a company's press releases and annual reports. Even if they call the company's CEO. Even if they know what questions to ask the CEO ― and they don't.

Heck, even many of the so-called "experts" in this field don't know what questions to ask. They just take a bunch of companies' balance sheets. Then they see which companies have the highest number of ounces.

Then they buy. And they get slaughtered. Worse, their clients get slaughtered.

You know why? Because the balance sheet doesn't tell you whether it's feasible to pull those ounces out of the ground. Or whether it's profitable.

I know I'm getting a little worked up here. But that's because I know ― from personal experience ― the junior gold sector is a minefield.

Let me tell you, the ups and downs on the way to the big money can be gut-wrenching. And not every junior pick of mine has been a winner. No one can pick juniors and come out a winner every time.

I've said it before. Buy a bunch of juniors, knowing that at least half will go nowhere or even go down. The rest could deliver triple-digit gains. And one could make you "Miserable Rich."

So please, don't try this at home. Get some expert guidance. Whether it's me or someone else.  Don't go it alone.

So let's talk about how you can get a helping hand. There are three ways. And two of them are lousy.

Three Ways to Invest in Juniors (And Two of Them Are Lousy)

Bad Bet #1: You could invest in a mutual fund that specializes in gold juniors.  The fund manager does the heavy lifting, and the management fees are actually pretty reasonable.

But there's only a handful of these funds to choose from. And all of them are larded down with big positions in the majors ― or even bullion. Sort of defeats the purpose, huh?

Bad Bet #2: You could invest with a brokerage firm that makes the picks for you.  But that could cost thousands upon thousands of dollars. Besides, brokers are all about making money for their firm, not their clients.

Yes, there are a few honest and intelligent brokers who specialize in juniors. I have a lot of respect for them. But often they own large equity stakes in the juniors they happen to like. They might even sit on the board of directors of these companies. I'm not comfortable with that sort of conflict of interest.

The right choice: I'm not a fund manager. I'm not a broker. I just want to help people like you make boatloads of money.  

I'm not pitching you a trading service, or a course. I'm offering an adventure for people who are ready to take that once-in-a-lifetime shot at getting "Miserable Rich." To achieve the wealth you thought you could never have but know you deserve.

And I can't think of a better way to get started than with the eight juniors I lay out for you in Set for Life: Eight Keys to Getting "Miserable Rich" with Gold.  You can have a copy emailed to you at exactly 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29.

Oh, I'd better mention one more thing while I'm thinking about it: Your broker needs access to the Canadian exchanges to buy many of these top stocks to buy. If you have one, just talk to him about it. Many of the online discount brokerages can handle it too. I'll even tell you who in another special report. 

This one's called Junior Gold Shares: An Owner's Manual. 

Think of it as an introduction to the world of junior mining shares. It builds on everything you're reading right here. You get it at the same time you get Set for Life: Eight Keys to Getting "Miserable Rich" with Gold.

Along with those two reports, I'm going to throw in something else. And there's no extra cost to you.

A Year's Worth of Regular Updates on These Top Stocks For 2010… And 12 More Micro-Cap Resource Picks…

Look, I've told you how this is a moment you need to seize right now, before Friday, May 29. If you want in, all you have to do is buy positions in these eight top stocks to buy, then hang on for dear life. 

At some point, probably when gold reaches $3,000 an ounce, maybe sooner, we'll have our moon shot. You could be "Miserable Rich."

That's it.

Of course, once you get a taste of the junior gold sector, you might decide being "Miserable Rich" isn't enough for you. You want more.

I can deliver more.

I can throw in ― absolutely free ― a one-year subscription to my premium research service called Energy & Scarcity Investor.

You'll get at least 12 top-of-the-line micro-cap picks in the resource sector ― whether it's precious metals, energy, or agriculture.

Energy & Scarcity Investor is a high-end, premium service. After all, top stocks for 2010 like gold juniors are thinly traded. We can't have tens of thousands of readers juicing the share prices artificially. 

Besides, you know by now it takes someone really ballsy to be "Miserable Rich."  Not everyone can handle it. Maybe only 1 in 1,000 people. So my publisher charges a lot for membership. That way we know the people who join up are really serious.

But you can have a year's worth of membership absolutely RISK-FREE… with no obligation… along with your copy of Set for Life: Eight Keys to Getting "Miserable Rich" with Gold.

Seize the Moment… Start Your Road to "Miserable Rich"…

OK, I see you've stuck with me up to this point of the letter. Congratulations!  You're the kind of person who's cut out for the chance to turn $10,000 into $260,000… like with Arequipa Resources. Or $1,302,500 like Copper Lake Exploration. Or $1,509,000 like Aurelian.

You're already very clear about what we're doing at 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29. 

You want to learn about the one simple move that could leave you set for life.

So here's how it works.

  • On Friday, May 29 at 5 PM EDT, I will release my special report, Set for Life: Eight Keys to Getting "Miserable Rich" with Gold. It will arrive at that moment in your e-mail inbox. It will contain eight recommendations that could leave you set for life. 

  • Also on Friday, May 29 at 5 PM EDT, you will receive Junior Gold Shares: An Owner's Manual. This will be your plain-English introduction to the only sector of the gold market that can leave you set for life.

  • Each month, I will e-mail you a micro-cap resource recommendation in your issue of Energy & Scarcity Investor. You can act on this new recommendation if you choose. This one-year subscription is yours FREE.

  • Every Friday, I will e-mail you a weekly Energy & Scarcity Investor update on the status of your recommended gold positions and the resource markets. Again, this is part of your FREE one-year membership in this premium research service.

  • Whenever the opportunity strikes, I will e-mail you a Flash Buy Alert on a resource stock that's just too good to wait for the monthly issue. This could happen once every few months, or a couple of times in a week. It all depends on how the market goes. But don't feel you have to obsessively check your inbox for these recommendations. As long as you check your e-mail once a day, you'll be fine. Again, I want to keep it simple. And again, this comes with the membership in Energy & Scarcity Investor, yours FREE for one year.

Now… how much would all this be worth to you?

I've said it before. I'll say it again. I'm not a fund manager looking for fees. I'm not a broker looking for commissions.

All I want to do is give people like you a chance to make boatloads of money. It's all I've ever wanted to do. 

And with juniors priced at incredible bargains, now's the perfect time to jump in.  All the stars are aligned.

The price of admission for the adventure we're starting on Friday, May 29 is $1,495.

That's a one-time price of $1,495 for your year's subscription to Energy and Scarcity Investor, plus access to eight junior picks, at least one of which could deliver a moon shot by the time gold reaches $3,000. Or sooner. Maybe even an Aurelian that can turn every $1 into $150. 

If that happens, you could be "Miserable Rich." The champagne your friends serve won't be good enough. The jets they fly won't be fast enough. The sand at their beachfront resorts won't be white enough.

But you'd be set for life.

And on top of the special reports you get on Friday May 29, you get your membership in Energy & Scarcity Investor. That will give you 12 more micro-cap resource recommendations you could stuff in your portfolio. Plus weekly updates on your current recommended junior holdings.

There's nothing else like this out there, in the fund business, the brokerage business, or financial publishing. Nothing. 

Ready to get started? Great!

My Iron-Clad "Cold-Feet" Guarantee

Now… Just in case you're still not 100% with me on this, let me make you a guarantee. And it's not the kind of guarantee I'd ordinarily make.

See, if you really buy into everything I've been describing here, I don't even need to make you a guarantee. You have guts and you have desire. So that should be enough to carry you through the stomach-churning ups and downs on your way to getting "Miserable Rich."

But I'm going to make you a guarantee anyway. In fact, I'm going to put my reputation on the line. I call this my Iron-Clad "Cold-Feet" Guarantee.

It works like this: Collect your special report Set for Life: Eight Keys to Getting "Miserable Rich" with Gold along with Junior Gold Shares: An Owner's Manual on Friday, May 29 at 5 PM EDT. Then review your first two monthly issues of Energy & Scarcity Investor. Follow the weekly Energy & Scarcity Investor updates. Log on to the members-only Energy & Scarcity Investor website to review archived issues.

Study all of this for up to 60 days. If any time during those 60 days you get cold feet, you decide you're not up to being a player in this market, you're not prepared for what it takes to get "Miserable Rich" … just call a toll-free number to cancel. I'll include the number in our first correspondence at 5 PM EDT on Friday, May 29.  No hard feelings. I'll refund every penny of your subscription price. And you can keep everything I've sent to you.

Get "Miserable Rich"… or Get Your Money Back

But I must give you an added level of protection. Long-term, performance-guaranteed protection. Protection that shows you exactly how confident I am that one of these recommendations will make you "Miserable Rich."

So here's the deal. If at anytime after those 60 days you find another research advisory service you feel gives you better recommendations in the microcap resource sector, just let me know. I'll give you an address where you can send everything back, along with proof that the other service gives you a better deal, and I'll STILL give you a full refund.

Doesn't matter when. Could be five years from now. If you send me evidence of what you find, along with everything I sent you so my publishers can compare, you'll STILL get a full refund of every penny you originally paid to subscribe.

So you're getting a "keep everything" guarantee for 60 days after you subscribe.  Plus you're getting a lifetime "top this" guarantee beyond that.

So you bear no risk. Except the risk of getting so wealthy you'll lose your friends. But I'm absolutely sure you'll never have to take me up on this solid promise. Because I'm absolutely sure that at least one of these picks has the potential to make you "Miserable Rich."

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Not everybody is cut out for this. 

So I have no idea how many people will still be with me once your moon shot materializes. I don't know how many people will get "Miserable Rich." I don't know how many people feel they deserve to be set for life.

But if you hang with me, I can tell you this. Once the adventure is over, you'll be saying what I'll be saying: "What a ride! It was worth every moment!"
