Capital & Crisis with Chris Mayer Chris Mayer, Capital & Crisis: What insiders call "The Next Berkshire Hathaway" Dear Reader, Buffett already has over $300 million in this company...it's one of the biggest in his portfolio, even though it's hardly a household name...and buying it now is like buying into Berkshire nearly 40 years ago! With your permission, I'll send you a FREE Capital & Crisis report that shows you how to get in as soon as possible... An Introduction In 1976, a private investor put $15,000 into a stock almost nobody had heard of. When it doubled, he sold half his stake. It was the stupidest move of his investing career. Lucky for him...the other half soared to make him over $9 million! And he wasn't the only one. Dr. Carol Angle, a pediatrician, also invested in this stock. She and her husband put in $30,000. Today, their stake is worth over $300 million. Then there's David Gottesman, who piled up $368 million on this stock alone. And Ernest Williams and his family, who piled up another $250 million. William Child's stake is worth over $677.5 million. Mildred and Donald Othmer each put in $25,000. By the time they were done, their combined holdings totaled $800 million. Early investor Malcolm Chace piled up $850 million all by himself. And Harry Alfond, who didn't own a single share of this stock until about 10 years ago, used this stock to build an incredible family fortune worth over $1.5 billion. Of course, I'm not talking about some putz of a dot-com survivor stock... I'm not even talking about Microsoft.... Rather, I'm talking about the greatest stock market miracle of our time... Warren Buffett's investment holding company, Berkshire Hathaway. Just in the city of Omaha, Neb. - says money manager George Morgan - Berkshire alone has made more than 30 families worth over $100 million EACH. That's absolutely phenomenal. Naturally, you and I both know that the Berkshire Hathaway miracle... not to mention an investment partnership like Buffett and Charlie Munger... just can't possibly come along more than once in a cosmic lifetime. But suppose you could make gains half as great as early investors made on Buffett's company? Or even a quarter as much? I'm writing you today to tell you about the one stock that today looks more comparable to an early investment in Berkshire Hathaway than any other investment opportunity in more than four decades. In fact, I'm so confident this company will work miracles for the investors who snatch it up now (while it's still relatively affordable), I'm willing to make you a completely unprecedented guarantee... Chris Mayer, Capital & Crisis: My One-of-a-Kind "5-Year-Gainer Guarantee" I've already promised to tell you everything I can in the short letter that follows. Then, as promised, I'll rush you a FREE copy of a special report that gives you the rest. It's called The Next Berkshire: The One "Forever Stock" That Could Make You Rich. But I'm just getting started. You see, the report itself already names this stock. And when this letter is through, I'll even show you how to download this report - if that's what you want to do - in less than five minutes. Immediately. (I can also mail it to you, if you prefer.) I'll do something else at the end of this letter... After I tell you as much as I can about the company we've been talking about...and after I explain how to get two more FREE reports I want to send, I'll give you a chance to get in on a new advisory service - with an impeccable investing recommendation record - that's just now available to you. Let me repeat: This advisory service I've told you about rarely makes a losing recommendation. I don't see any reason it will start missing the mark now. And I firmly believe this stock I've just told you about - the one you'll find featured in your FREE copy of The Next Berkshire: The One "Forever Stock" That Could Make You Rich - is no exception. But let me put my money where my mouth is: I'm so confident about this, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to give you a totally unprecedented - some might say absolutely crazy - personal promise, in the form of what I'm going to call my special "5-Year-Gainer Guarantee..." Chris Mayer, Capital & Crisis: Here's How It Works I virtually guarantee every piece of advice, insight and recommendation you'll get from this service I just mentioned - including this recommendation here, which I firmly believe is the kind of stock you can buy, hold and use to get rich over the long haul. Very easily and with tremendous results. If you think I'm wrong about this, take the next FIVE years to make up your mind. Get all your reports, even your last issue. And you can still ask for a full refund on anything you've paid to subscribe. That's right. That's how much I believe this stock we're talking about is a true "forever stock," of the kind you will hold for a lifetime. You'll pass it on to your heirs, along with the impressive riches it should help you create. You can take the next five years to see if you agree. Even if you manage to get in on this, make a pile of money and soak up all the other recommendations this adviser and his service have to offer...you can tell me to send your money back whenever you like, up to the last day of the fifth year after your subscription starts. You can keep all the reports. You can double, triple, even quintuple your money investing on these recommendations. But if you ever decide it just didn't work out for you, I'll give you a special permanent address to contact. You just drop me a line and you'll get your money back. Does that sound fair? I hope so. Because five years from now, I don't think you'll WANT to exercise that guarantee. And if you write me, I'm guessing it will be a postcard... telling me how you just got back from clinking champagne glasses at this company's annual shareholder meeting. Do I have a crystal ball? No. Nobody can know the future. Anybody who says he can just isn't playing straight. But imagine, 40 years ago, nobody knew Berkshire Hathaway would turn out to be the incredible success it was - but it still went on to rise 5,545%, turning every $10,000 invested into over $55.4 million! It's a big promise I'm making. But I have absolutely no qualms about giving it to you. That's how much confidence I have in this recommendation. Even more, it shows you how much confidence I have in the man BEHIND this recommendation, Chris Mayer. And keep in mind, I don't get impressed easily! My name is Addison Wiggin. I've been deeply involved in investing and markets for the past 11 years. In that time, I've met every kind of investor...and come across every kind of investing strategy and stock opportunity you can imagine. I've also used that time to write two best-selling financial books. You may have heard of one, Financial Reckoning Day, which hit and held the top of The New York Times best-seller list. Or my newest best seller, The Demise of the Dollar...and Why It's Great for Your Investments. Maybe you've heard one of my countless radio interviews, seen a speaking engagement, or maybe you already know me through my financial research publishing group. My point is not to boast. It's to show you that I've already put a lot of very hard work into studying what does and does not work in these turbulent markets. And I'll gladly put every minute of that hard work and reputation building on the line on behalf of the opportunity we're talking about here today. And on behalf of Chris Mayer, the man who's bringing us this stock... | ||||||||||

Chris Mayer, Capital & Crisis: Confessions of a True Insider See, Chris Mayer isn't a broker. He's a seasoned commercial banker. Before Chris was 30, he was a vice president of one of the oldest and most prestigious lenders in America. And he had a prime role in deciding the fates of multimillion-dollar corporate loan candidates for Riggs Bank of Washington, D.C., often called the "bank of presidents." I don't know what you know about corporate loans. But banks don't mess around with their money. At any given time, Chris managed a portfolio of about $200 million, deciding the fates of companies and clients worth as much as $400 million and more. And I can assure you, the kinds of "soft numbers" and "hot stories" that work on Wall Street barely sizzle on the grilling guys like Chris give DAILY to companies seeking multimillion-dollar loans. Pros like Chris learn fast to turn every stone. Not just the price-to-earnings ratios and the standard smoke-and-mirrors routine Wall Street brokers love to perpetrate. But the kind of full exploratory exam of the company's books and buried financial records that's so thorough it would embarrass even an IRS auditor. Chris was famous then, as he is now, for burrowing deep into the numbers...digging out hidden liabilities...and sometimes, finding hidden assets the companies and Wall Street never seemed to know about. I know of nobody in the investing research industry willing to do that kind of work. Which is why I'm probably the only one in the financial industry to make this kind of "5-Year-Gainer Guarantee" that I've just offered. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. In fact, I will. Later in this letter. Because this isn't just any other stock recommendation. Not at all. Chris Mayer, Capital & Crisis: Your Second Chance at a Buffett-Backed Miracle Here's the backdrop. About 10 years ago, you could have gotten into this little company we've been talking about for around $20 a share. Of course, those days are long gone now. Chris Mayer, the investment genius who brought this to my attention, strongly believes it could trade at about $1,000 a share. Very soon. And he won't rule out a five-figure share price in this company's future. You can still get into this for less than that right now, if you act quickly. In fact, in relative terms, this share is still an absolute bargain, considering what I'm about to show you. Even if it's a bargain almost completely hidden from public view. It's going to stay, I believe, a good stock to buy at any price. But right now, it's also climbing - just like Berkshire really started to do in the mid-1970s - so the earlier you get in, the better.... Chris Mayer, Capital & Crisis: How to Spot a "Forever Stock" Just think. Thirty years ago, nobody imagined how Berkshire Hathaway would work out. After all, early on, Berkshire was a textile mill. It made cotton. Before Buffett finally shut the mill down, it was netting a pitiful $45,000. But by then, Buffett had diversified Berkshire into another kind of business that was already netting the company an annual $4.6 million - more than 10 times the original company income. And remember, these are 1960s dollars.
It's no accident the industry he picked first to fold into Berkshire was... insurance. It was GEICO that got him started. And everything grew from there. See, what Buffett did was simple. He used the cash-rich insurance business to help him stuff Berkshire to the gills with investment capital. Then he used that cash to snap up companies with huge assets and advantages most other investors overlooked. There was See's Candies. And, of course, Coca-Cola. American Express. Gillette. It was practically a formula. With each one, he swooped in with cash in hand, right when many investors had soured on the stock. Then he used his own business savvy to dig out hidden assets...and help the original owners of the business get very rich, while reinventing their companies as even bigger cash cows and wealth producers than they'd ever been before. That was the real Buffett strategy that built Berkshire. It's also the secret strategy of the company we're talking about today. And it could make you very rich. Early Berkshire investors have seen their gains go up more than 5,545%. In this company, just over the last five years, gains on the share price have soared 461% (that's nearly 10 times what even stock holders in Berkshire itself made over the same period). Sure, you're saying, but what about downturns? Buffett loves a downturn. So do the top brass at this company. Because both can use their huge cash holdings to snap up bargains...which lets them pile up even MORE profits in the turnaround. Buffett and Berkshire have done this successfully for the last four decades. This company I'm telling you about is doing it all over again, right now. Using the same model Berkshire invented decades ago. And that's the secret. Investors who missed the boat on the Buffett stock market bonanza now have a second chance to get in on a very similar opportunity... with the potential for amazing results. That's Why I Have No Problem Backing This, My "5-Year-Gainer Guarantee" So far, not many people on Wall Street - at least not the mainstream part of Wall Street - have even noticed. But that won't last for long. I'd hate for you to sit on the sidelines and miss out. See, this company is still small. With a market cap around $7 billion. Where competitors have already grown as large as $40 billion and more. But the big difference is that this company, just like Berkshire, has also piled up a steadily growing pile of cash - about $1 billion at last count - that they could use at any time to snap up another impressive acquisition. Now that they've already proved they've got the savvy to turn these smaller takeovers and hidden assets into huge cash producers, it's only a matter of time before the hoi polloi on Wall Street finally catch a whiff. Like Berkshire did early on, this stock is already starting to move. Just in the last five years of investing in this company, every dollar held in this stock would have grown to more than five times what you'd invested...with $1,000 becoming $5,610...$5,000 becoming $28,050...or $15,000 becoming $84,150. Meanwhile, how would you have done holding $5,000 in the S&P 500? Over that exact same period, you would have finished up with a loss of $848! Less than you'd started with. Take a look at how the two compare on this chart...
I don't need to tell you that's pretty impressive. It's not easy for anybody to keep on piling up gains while some of the biggest and best-bought stocks in America are locked into a downward spiral. But what if you compare this same company to other stocks, like the leaders on the NYSE? Or the Nasdaq?
Just holding this one stock, you would have crushed most other investors. Not to mention most mutual funds. Plus, the major stocks leading the Dow Jones Industrial Average ...and even the smaller, faster-moving and increasingly popular stocks of the Russell 2000. And even the market for alternative investments, like oil and energy stocks or gold and silver stocks, all of which soared during the same period.
And like I said earlier... This Little Company Even "Out-Berkshired" Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway! Take a look at this...
It's no wonder Buffett already has over $300 million invested in the future of this stock. Why recommend a company that's ALREADY up this much? Because it's just getting started. Look, I'm no fortuneteller. The biggest risk I like to take is in choosing which wine to open with dinner. But once I show you what stock market genius Chris Mayer showed me, I'm confident you'll agree... Chris Mayer's Capital & Crisis: The Secret to "Hands-Free" Investing This is as close to "hands-free," no-worries investing as you'll ever get. Do you need to do this? No, of course not. But let me ask you this... Even if you love the idea of buying and trading and being active in the market...wouldn't it be nice to have at least ONE investment in your portfolio that just grows and grows over time...at a rate as good or better than returns earned by the savviest and most successful investors in stock market history? I would. Other investors certainly would too. And now is your opportunity. When Chris Mayer told me about this, I was in a paneled boardroom in a meeting with two dozen other analysts, all sharing some of our best investing ideas. But the lot of us might as well have been looking backward through a telescope at Berkshire itself in the 1970s. Just compare the two companies' ideas about building wealth. Like Berkshire, this mystery company doesn't kowtow to Wall Street. It doesn't chase earnings reports. It doesn't pump up numbers to impress brokers. And it doesn't waste time wooing investment bankers or courting number-contorting accounting firms. Instead, like Berkshire, this company is hell-bent on one thing only - building real, tangible wealth. Its policy is to pile up cold, hard cash - over $1 billion of it, as of this writing - and then, like Berkshire, to invest it only in the smaller companies with even more hidden assets that can be used to grow and fortify the bottom line. That's just where the uncanny similarities begin. See, like Berkshire, the heads of this company would rather sit back on their haunches and let their investments grow, rather than take risks in companies they and their shareholders don't understand. "Frankly," one of the head honchos wrote in a recent company report, "sometimes the shareholders would be better off if we just went to play golf." If that sounds like Buffett's folksy, homespun wisdom to you, it's no accident... Read this company's Operating Principles - part of its annual report - and you'll feel like you're reading pages written by Buffett himself. Ripped right out of Berkshire Hathaway's own famous annual Owner's Manual. This company's moneymaking philosophies today were literally born out of a brilliant strategy Berkshire invented decades ago. Buffett and the founder of this company are longtime friends. His son even works for Buffett, analyzing new investments. And what Berkshire DID to give investors the opportunity of a lifetime decades ago, this company is doing today, very intentionally. And with amazing results. Chris Mayer's Capital & Crisis: Why Buffett Calls This Guy the "Babe Ruth" of His Industry Like Buffett, the guy who founded this company is old school. He's worked his Midas touch over and over again, doing things for companies that others thought impossible. Take the company he took over in 1976. It had just lost $126 million. The stock had just plunged from $42 to $5. And then down to $2. The annual shareholder meeting that year was a near riot with all the angry shareholders. But within months of his takeover, that changed. He'd trimmed down the company, cut away the more risky deals and even moved the headquarters. The company started making money. A young Warren Buffett snapped up 500,000 shares. And within months, the stock price shot up 300%. Investors who hung on got rich. Buffett is one of those lucky investors. Then this guy did it again in the early '80s, when he took the wheel of another company that had just racked up losses of $356 million. Within a year, this guy had turned the company around. Anyone who invested $15,000 in that company's stock in the same year...turned it into over $125,728...as the total company's real worth on the books shot up 289.5%...by the time he sold the company to the highest bidder for the phenomenal cash price of $3 billion. With that, he retired early. He holed up in his 100-year-old house in Vermont. But retirement bored him silly, so he called his last company and went back to work. While he was gone, it'd run into trouble. But within three years, he had booked a new deal for his company worth $120 million. Plus another deal that raked in $620 million...tax-free. And the stock started soaring again. What's this superstar doing now? In 2000, he rebuilt the company we're talking about. The company's real wealth...and the share price...have skyrocketed ever since. Today, he's still giving guidance to the very company we're talking about. He's also the company's biggest private shareholder, with a personal stake worth over $318.7 million! Chris Mayer's Capital & Crisis: It's a Great Sign When the Insiders Like to Eat Their Own Cooking... Combined with the rest of the management team, total insider holdings are worth more than $924 million. What does this company do? Remember, when Buffett started his Berkshire Hathaway empire, he added nearly 10 times the profits to Berkshire's bottom line by diversifying out of the textile business and into...insurance. That's right. Dull stuff. But hugely profitable for Buffett and his investors. In fact, insurance is still Berkshire's biggest business today - not only because it's good business, but also because it gives his Berkshire fund lots of cash it can use to invest. Insurance is also the core business for the company we've been talking about. And that's a very good thing. See, one of the key secrets of creating wealth in the insurance business is something called "the float." The float is the huge pile of cash insurance companies hold when they take in lots of premium payments but haven't yet had to dish out on any huge claims. Imagine someone handing you a wad of cash and telling you to take it to the racetrack. When you double or triple the bet, you get to keep the profits before handing back the original amount. Only this company doesn't bet on horses at the track. In fact, it rarely takes any risks at all. Instead, it sits tight - like Berkshire - until an exceptional deal comes along. Just like Berkshire:
When the time is ripe, this company uses its huge pile of cash to snap up other insurance companies, selling at distressed prices. Then it uses the hidden assets in these smaller companies to grow them into incredibly successful - and profitable - workhorses. And it's this company's absolute genius at doing this that just keeps making its shareholders very rich. This isn't theoretical. This company is actually doing it. It's quietly building an empire just like Buffett built Berkshire. Chris Mayer's Capital & Crisis: Protects You From Mischief and Manipulation on Wall Street Given the lessons from Enron, WorldCom, Global Crossing and other accounting disasters of the last five years...and the recent discovery by investors that accounting, however boring, is worth knowing about... Wouldn't it be a relief to invest in a company that was BUILT on bucking the "closed-door" policies of Wall Street accounting? Absolutely, it would. And this company, like Buffett and Berkshire, just doesn't do numbers the way others do on Wall Street. For instance, a lot of insurance companies use standard accounting techniques. But they use them to HIDE big losses and PUMP UP weak earnings. Why? Because by putting their annual reporting into the pink, they and unscrupulous Wall Street brokers get to bamboozle investors for at least one more financial quarter. The decision-makers at this company I'm talking about think that's just plain wrong. Not just for disclosure reasons. But because it's just a stupid way to do business. Think about it. Sure, pumped-up earnings can have a short-term payoff. But what happens over time? Pretty soon, especially in insurance, you end up making shortsighted, bad business deals just to get cash in the door to impress investors. Until one day you have to pay the piper, and everything comes crashing down! But that's not the case with this company. If it's a bad underwriting deal, it simply doesn't get written. Instead, the company homes in - like Buffett - on building its real net worth. Its assets or wealth. Or what's called "net tangible asset value," or NTAV. Don't worry about the terminology. I can explain it to you very simply just by asking you a simple question: When you pay for a stock, wouldn't you like to know what it's actually worth? Chris Mayer's Capital & Crisis: How to Get Real Cash Back Every Time You Buy a Stock Here's just one more chart I want you to look at...
What this shows you is that this company's real wealth - if it ever had to sell everything, pay off all the bills and pocket the rest - gives you the equivalent of $359 cash in pocket for every single share you own. It's almost like having "share insurance." Could Google or Yahoo! investors make the same claim? Imagine if you could automatically grow your own personal wealth, without thinking about it, on average 16% per year. That's exactly what this company has done every year since 2000. This is an advantage even this company's biggest competitors cannot match. With a pile of cash and a lower profile, Warren Buffett once said, you've got a "structural advantage" that would make it easier to make returns as good as 50% a year or better. And right now, that's exactly the position this company is in. So what's it worth to you right now as a potential investor? If I told you this was a $6 stock, you might go out and buy 1,000 shares. If I told you this was a $60 stock, you might go out and buy 100 shares. If I told you this impenetrable, rock-solid company cost more than $600, I'd even expect you to rush out and buy at least 10 shares. Just like investors kept on piling into Berkshire all the way up...making money hand over fist as it climbed in value to well over $83,000 per share! Regardless of where this company sits right now, even if you own a small stake in it, you'll be in great company. Aside from Berkshire, blue chip investors and financial home-run hitters like Bruce Berkowitz of Fairholme Capital Management, Joseph Steinberg of Leucadia National Corp. and David Winters of Franklin Mutual Series all own this stock. Still, I expected that just owning this one stock - as great as it is - wouldn't be enough for a few ambitious readers. So here's what I'm going to do. In addition to your FREE copy of The Next Berkshire: The One "Forever Stock" That Could Make You Rich...I want to send you a SECOND free report. It's called, 5 CHEAP STOCKS: 5 Companies You Can Buy for Less Than They're Worth and Watch Them Go Up. Inside, you'll find five more brilliant recommendations from Chris Mayer...all with similar credentials and excellent prospects, but at even lower share prices. In fact, what you'll pay to own each of these companies in this FREE report is almost like getting cash BACK on each and every share...with potential gains already built into the stock! 5 More Hidden Stocks Worth a Lot More Than Investors Realize Before I tell you about the five additional market plays Chris Mayer has just plucked from the ticker tape, let me tell you something else about Chris. Just in the short time I've known him, he's 15 for 17 on his recommendations...an astonishing 88.8% success rate. A baseball player hitting that well would be in the Hall of Fame. 131% on Sovran Self Storage (SSS:NYSE )...and 83.5% on Orient-Express Hotels (OEH:NYSE). Plus another 41% gain on Agrium Inc. (AGU:NYSE )...31% gains on Intrawest Corp. (IDR:NYSE )...and he helped his readers lock in 178% on San Juan Basin Royalty Trust (SJT:NYSE )...and another 58.6% on Mexican Economic Development Inc. (FMX:NYSE). Just to name a few. And he keeps on doing it, over and over again. I don't know if you know how rare that is. But with Chris, it's no surprise. See, even in his high-profile role in the banking world, Chris never lost a dime on any of the corporate lending agreements he approved. That's also incredibly rare. But he also realized there was a lot more to life than just helping the banks and their clients get richer. His banking insider experience had revealed a gaping hole in the way most brokers cover stocks...and a weakness in the way most investors try to make money. So he took his brilliant approach to analysis and applied it to finding opportunity in the stock market. And he made his research available to a very small group of investors - just 150 people, including some of the top minds in finance. The regular advisory letter he made available to this small group was called Capital & Crisis. This was a very private and limited-access service. Only 150 people got in on it. Only 150 people could jump on the moneymaking insights it churned out over and over again. And not just any people - the Capital & Crisis group was exclusively limited to a very close circle of family, friends, colleagues and top industry elites. In fact, I first came across his genius accidentally - when Chris wrote to set me straight on something I'd reported in another internationally known advisory letter I help publish, the online phenomenon known as The Daily Reckoning. It was hard for Chris to miss what we were saying - we now have over 500,000 readers worldwide. But I liked his message so much I begged him to stop everything and work for us. I knew we couldn't beat what he was doing in Capital & Crisis. So I offered to match whatever he was making with the advisory letter and with the bank. Lucky for me, he said yes and came on board. Why would a successful top banker and analyst give up his role in the corporate world? That's simple too. This is Chris' passion. It's what he's exceptional at doing. And now he wants to do it for you. Directly... With Chris working for our team, I have precisely what I didn't have before - a chance to make Chris' brilliant investing research available to you, for the first time in publishing history. And I'm so certain you'll like and profit from what he can do I'll start sending it to you right away - in a complete lifetime, risk-free trial offer - just as soon as you give me the nod. But besides the things I've already agreed to send you - the report on the special stock we just talked about and your first trial, risk-free issues of Capital & Crisis - I want you to have this second FREE report I mentioned, too, 5 CHEAP STOCKS: 5 Companies You Can Buy for Less Than They're Worth and Watch Them Go Up...
If you could buy a beachfront house for half its market value...a 1965 Corvette for the price of a 2005 Toyota...or a first-class plane ticket for the price of coach...wouldn't you jump at the chance? Of course you would. To find these five stocks, Chris used a proprietary screen he designed, based on his experience evaluating the quality of companies' bottom lines in the banking industry. The screen let him sift through over 8,000 companies, narrowing the pool to 16 possible picks. Then he combed through their books, one by one, until he found these five stellar recommendations. I don't know of anybody else in the industry who's willing - or qualified - to do that kind of work. And so far, it's the kind of thoroughness that has never failed to pick winners for Chris and his Capital & Crisis subscribers. Chris Mayer's Capital & Crisis: Imagine Making Money EVERY TIME You Make a Trade! Using Chris' recommendations, not only could you make money every time you invest...but there's research showing you could also make as much as nine times what other investors make. How so? According to an 11-year study by the global investment firm Tweedy, Browne...tracking over 7,000 stocks...and using criteria almost identical to those Chris used to assemble his own perfect record of winning recommendations... These kinds of underassessed, market-discounted stocks actually crushed the performance of the top stocks in the S&P 500, which, of course, are the core of very popular so-called "index" funds. Unfortunately, most brokers on Wall Street don't or can't offer you picks like these. Because they're simply not "sexy" enough to pop up on the average broker's radar. What's more, the work involved in "vetting out" these companies is just more than the average punch-clock, happy-hour-going broker is willing to do. But Chris has never believed in doing things the easy way. He believes that to get the highest returns, it's not a matter of how much risk you take...but how much work you put into finding the right opportunities. And there's plenty of evidence in his high-performing, perfect track record to prove this is true. Which is why I'm so glad I can invite you into Chris' circle of subscribers today. I'd like to start sending you Chris' Capital & Crisis immediately.

By the way, I don't care if you're comparing what we do to a $1 million-minimum hedge fund or a one-off $5 investing report you found somewhere online. I intend to put out the best research in the business. Chris Mayer and Capital & Crisis, I believe, make that easy for me. But if you like what anybody else does better than us, I need to look it over so we can do even better than what we've accomplished already. So even AFTER five years from right now, if you'll send me evidence of what you find along with what we sent you so I can compare, you'll STILL get that full refund of every penny you originally paid to subscribe. In effect, you're getting a "keep-everything" guarantee for five years after you subscribe, even if your subscription has long ago expired. PLUS, you're getting a lifetime "quality-match" guarantee after that. Combined, that's two rock-solid commitments - from me to you - backing what I believe is the best and highest quality investment advisory service available to any potential investor anywhere today. I hope you'll agree. Once you do, you'll gain immediate access to these two FREE reports, including the six special stock opportunities inside...plus month after month of excellent market insights and recommendations from Chris...in a complete no-risk situation... And all you have to do is say yes right now and agree to give Capital & Crisis a try. Chris Mayer's Capital & Crisis: How Much Would You Pay? How much would you pay to get inside the Capital & Crisis circle of subscribers? How much is it worth to you never to have to worry about making money on your investments ever again? It's not usual to find an expert with Chris' background - from magna cum laude honors in finance to an MBA to his tenure as a vice president at Provident and as a commercial lending expert for the prestigious Riggs Bank of Washington, D.C. Especially not one who's willing to work for you, leading you through markets as volatile as these. To hire him yourself as a personal adviser might cost you $25,000 or more. Professional financial firms already charge that much just to let you sit down and talk with advisers about your financial affairs. And these are guys who won't work half as hard on your behalf as Chris...piling up the research, building the contacts, poring over the financial books and doing the key calculations.... Fortunately, by pooling readers like you inside the circle of professionals who already track Chris' recommendations...you can gain access to every top recommendation in Chris' portfolio, plus all his updates and reports and the private Web site that archives everything covered by Capital & Crisis...for only $59 a year. That's less than the cost of three shares of Microsoft, two shares of Wal-Mart or a single share of Halliburton or Johnson & Johnson. It's 7/1,000ths the price of a share of Berkshire Hathaway. And not even 16 cents a day in a normal calendar year. Why so little when you get so much? Simple. This is the grand introduction of this service, beyond the small circle of 150 lucky early participants. So we're celebrating. And that gives you a chance to get in on the ground floor, and to avoid the rising costs certain to occur in the months and years ahead. But even more important, any one of us trying to gain access to a pro like Chris would have to shell out a fortune. But by pooling our resources and widening the circle of potential investors who will share in the genius you'll find in every issue of Capital & Crisis... we'll fully cover the cost of having Chris "work" for all of us (you included), helping you and me to find even more excellent opportunities just like the one we've talked about here. It is, in short, an extremely good deal. I hope you will take advantage of it. You don't even have to pay it regularly. You can set it up to charge automatically, at $14.75 per quarter, so you never have to worry about missing an issue again. It's up to you. So let's quickly revisit what you get in return...
First, you have a full five years to evaluate all the picks and insights we talked about. You can cancel anytime, even years after you've received your last issue. And you'll still get to keep everything, even though I'll send you a full refund. And second, even after the five years are up, you can still contact me if you EVER find another service that's giving you better, more profitable investing advice. No questions asked. Just send me the evidence along with your original materials and you'll STILL get every penny back. This is hands-free investing. Stocks that when you own them just let you live better. Because you don't have to worry about them. Because they go up. While still letting you sleep at night. Think of it this way. Remember back in the early 1980s when gold prices started to reverse? When the 1987 market crash hit? Or when the savings & loans went bust? If you had shares of Berkshire Hathaway then, would it feel like one of those panic stocks you had to "dump now" to rescue your gains? What about when the first wave of biotechs went bust in the early 1990s? When Asian currencies crashed or Internet stocks flopped? I certainly don't remember anybody running from Berkshire back then. Do you? These companies I've just told you about are those kinds of stocks. All the stocks Chris finds, in fact, are the kinds of stocks safe enough to hang onto...but strong enough that they move. And go up, adding value to your portfolio outside of the usual games played on Wall Street. This is the only way I know of to get big gains without big risks. You'll start seeing gains almost immediately. Then you'll continue to watch them grow, effortlessly, over time. It's as simple as that. And you risk nothing by giving Capital & Crisis a try. I hope you will.
P.S. How's this for sweetening the pot? There's a third FREE report I want to send you. It reveals what Chris calls a "lightning-strike" stock. This is a completely different kind of opportunity. For about $3.50 a share, you can pick up a company that's just ripe right now for a takeover move. This company makes optical switches. It's listed on the Nasdaq. And right now, it's got loads of cash and zero debt. But it's targeted by another company for a takeover that could send the share price soaring. Because of this special situation, this is like owning a stock option that doesn't expire. You can read all about it in this third FREE report that I'll send. Try Capital & Crisis today!
