Right there, you're banking PROFITS of more than 20% each year, essentially doubling your initial investment every 3.5 years. Just imagine what that could do to your wealth. And that's exactly what Tom Gardner conservatively expects from this business. Of course, Tom is the "well-known" investor I'm writing to tell you about today -- and I mean it when I say he's conservative. If you don't know him, Tom co-founded The Motley Fool with his brother David. He also hosted a syndicated talk show and has written six bestselling investment books. Along the way, Tom has helped millions of "Fools" become better investors (me included) and humiliated the "pros" on Wall Street in the process. But I'm not writing to tell you about Fool.com today, rather to introduce you to a smaller, more exclusive community of investors Tom personally asked me to help him direct. (Yes, I work for Tom, but as an advisor and lead equity analyst -- not as a promoter.) You see, after spending more than a decade researching America's top companies... grilling their CEOs and other top business leaders... not to mention building a global Internet company of his own... Tom and I made an important discovery. I won't sugarcoat it: I'm 100% convinced this "secret" will allow us to continue piling on oversized profits in U.S. stocks for years to come. I say "secret" but there are no secrets among FoolsIn fact, you'll hear exactly what makes Tom's battle-tested system work today. Plus, how you can join us in our search for the market's most profitable stocks with no risk or obligation. At the same time, it would be reckless of me to imply that this new, more aggressive style of investing is for everyone. It might not even be right for you. Only you can be the judge of that. That's why, rather than launch his latest service on Fool.com, Tom chose to pull together a smaller circle of more experienced investors to join him in his pursuit of "insider" profits -- a few partners at a time. Tom's ground-breaking project is called Motley Fool Hidden Gems. His "partners" are folks like us who are cashing in on the investment opportunity you're going to hear about today. All I ask of you for now is that you hear me out. Then, if you like what you hear and want to hear more, I encourage you to become a partner in the Hidden Gems project yourself. When you do, I'll send you Tom's full analysis of the fantastic opportunity we're discussing today in his brand new report, "How to BANK 'Insider' Profits on the Crazy Idea that Dazzled Bill Gates!" absolutely free. This report explains in full detail why this is the one China stock you MUST get into your portfolio at once. But before you claim your copy, I want you to better understand how Tom Gardner's system works... by exploiting what insiders call Wall Street's Worst-Kept Secret. Why insiders call these companies Wall Street's Best-Kept Secret...It's because for decades they've been making fortunes for corporate fat cats with inside information... yet, most investors never hear of them until the big money has been made. In a moment, I'll show you some of the forces that conspire to keep the market's best stocks out of the headlines and out of your portfolio, and you'll see this is no accident. But first, let's walk through a real-life example of how we can help you exploit Wall Street's Best-Kept Secret for your share of the "insider" profits... On March 25, 2005, a member of Tom's research staff alerted him to Transkaryotic, a tiny drug-development company, trading at just $10.97 per share. Tom was skeptical. So, he pulled the SEC filings... tore apart the press and trade journals... he even ran a detailed background check on top management. (As usual with smaller underfollowed companies, "professional" Wall Street research was no help whatsoever.) Most important, Tom fed the company's fundamental data through his rigorous valuation model. I won't keep you in suspense... Tom was blown away by what he found. So were his partners when he alerted them -- especially the lucky ones who took his advice and bought Transkaryotic without delay. Four months later, Tom's partners were up a more-than-respectable 30%. Then things got interesting. In August, Tom recommended Transkaryotic |
Who is Tom Gardner?"The Motley Fool has been one of the more unusual success stories of the Co-founder of The Motley Fool: Ranked as the #1 financial education site by Barron's. Nearly 5 million users logged on last month. Acclaimed co-author of 8 best-selling books, including The Motley Fool Investment Guide and Rule Breakers/Rule Makers. His weekly Motley Fool financial column is published in more than 225 newspapers across the U.S. and Canada. Television appearances include MSNBC, CNN and Fox -- plus the widely acclaimed PBS show, The Motley Fool Money-Making, Life Changing Special. Most recently, Tom's helping investors like you get one up on Wall Street (and get rich!) buying the market's best small-cap value stocks. |
So, instead of offering up a brand new pick that month, Tom emphatically reiterated his recommendation of unknown and underfollowed Transkaryotic to his partners.
That's how those same "ordinary" investors tacked on an additional 161%!
All told, Tom's partners could have banked 237%.
And, remember, this company wasn't profiled regularly on CNBC and enjoyed no analyst coverage. Once again, Wall Street's big institutions were asleep at the wheel.
Even so, you can't buy Transkaryotic now. That's because, unlike the so-called "professional" investors, the top brass at drug giant Shire Pharmaceuticals was paying attention to what this fantastic little company was up to.
In July 2005, Shire made a massive premium buyout offer for Transkaryotic, handing over $37 per share to Tom's inner circle of investors and other "insider" investors.
Can you imagine? Some of Tom's partners grumbled -- they wanted even more. But it's hard to complain when you're locking in a 200%-plus windfall in a little over a year.
Frankly, none of this surprised me one bit. The same thing happened when Tom recommended Group 1 Software in March 2004 and Pitney Bowes bought the entire company at a premium in July.
Ditto in September 2005, when all-American shoe company StrideRite offered a generous premium for tiny Saucony -- Tom's recommendation for September 2003, locking in another quick double.
Investors who bought all three recommendations locked in gains of 237% on Transkaryotic... 52% on Group 1... and 155% on Saucony -- turning their original $15,000 investment into $37,204 in less than two years.
If you've never heard of Transkaryotic... or Group 1... or Saucony, don't worry. Your broker hasn't either (although he might even have Saucony sneakers in his closet!).
I know, that sounds almost unbelievable. Especially since we've been told that the so-called "smart money" on Wall Street has the "inside" track. In fact, that couldn't be further from the truth. How so?
For one thing, big players have too much capital to put to work. It's not practical for them to take positions in the market's best stocks -- no matter how undervalued or how much they love the business.
These guys have hundreds of millions or even billions to invest. They often can't buy high-quality smaller stocks without 1) running up the price, 2) buying up a controlling interest in the business.
Put it together and you have a HUGE opportunity for
individual investors like us!
The Market's 10 Best StocksBy Tim Hanson, The Motley Fool The greatest stocks of the past decade are not the ones you'd expect. Microsoft isn't on the list. And Starbucks doesn't crack the Top 50. In fact you've probably never heard of them. Take a look... <!--.style22 {font-size: 10px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; }.style23 {font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; color: #FFFFFF; }-->
*In millions. Historical price data provided by Capital IQ. First, these companies are obscure. Hansen Natural -- the greatest stock of the past decade -- has sold all-natural juices since the 1930s. Chico's sells clothes to women in their 30s, and 10 years ago had fewer than 250 stores. SCP Pool -- a company with 45% annual returns -- wholesales swimming pool supplies and chemicals! Second, there's only one "tech" firm on the list. And it's not one of the famous ones. Only four analysts are currently following Comtech. Ten years ago, none of these companies were heavily followed by the pros on Wall Street, and even more incredibly, some still aren't. Most important, none of these companies were worth more than $200 million 10 years ago. And even after 10 years of incredible growth, seven are still small caps! That's right, the greatest stocks of the last decade were...
How many investors are searching for market-beating returns with the Microsoft and Starbucks of the world? Twenty-nine and 16 analysts follow these stocks, respectively. But these companies can't beat the market -- they are the market! If you want to find the 10 best stocks of the next 10 years... if you want to BANK "insider" profits... You need to start small -- as in small caps. Click here to start claiming your "insider" profits on the market's best stocks. |
That's right, because the big money often has to wait for any great company... even a Wal-Mart or a Dell... to satisfy strict technical criteria before they can buy, WE build our positions ahead of Wall Street.
That's why, once the big money finally does get the green light, early investors like us can sit back and profit as the surging institutional interest bids the stocks higher.
That's Wall Street's Best-Kept Secret in a nutshell.
And there's one more factor that all but assures our success. I call it the herd mentality on Wall Street. It works like this:
Big investment banks don't tend to do business with well-capitalized small companies, so their analysts don't cover them... so their clients don't buy them. At least not at first.
Meanwhile, the brokers who shill low-quality or overvalued stocks for these gigantic firms... and those who rely on CNBC and The Wall Street Journal for second-hand information are also left in the dark.
And it's getting worse, not better. As SmartMoney recently points out, "In 2000... more than 7,600 companies were covered by at least three analysts. Today that number is below 6,000."
And you'll never guess what companies Wall Street is ignoring. The smallest ones. In fact, more than 90% of the companies that have NO analyst coverage are small caps.
But here's the catch.
We don't need money-grubbing brokers, sycophant "journalists" or conflicted analysts for stock ideas not once we learn to spot them ourselves... once we start relying on independent research.
The instant we do, every one of the conspiring forces we're discussing today turns in our favor, giving us the time and cover we need to patiently build our positions.
And that's terrific news, because when Wall Street finally does wake up... it's like a bunch of over-caffeinated kids rushing into a stadium rock show. The seats fill up fast... and prices soar.
That's why it's no coincidence you never hear of stocks like Transkaryotic... or Group 1 Software... or Saucony... until after "insider" investors have doubled or tripled their money, at least.
Yes, that's what I mean by "insider" profits
Of course, when you join Tom and his partners at Hidden Gems, you won't technically be an insider. You won't be granted lavish options packages, for example.
And, no, you won't be subject to blackout periods or required by law to file Form 4s or Form 144s "intentions to sell" with the SEC.
At the same time, you won't rely on institutional or "published" research, either. Or your broker. And that's the main reason you can consistently get in ahead of 95% of ordinary retail investors.
Usually ahead of Wall Street's big money, too. In other words, you really will be like an "inside" investor in some of the best businesses in America.
Of course, that's where the real money has always been made -- by getting in early, ahead of the crowd. (Remember the folks who cashed in on Rich Barton's big idea back in 2001?)
Now I'm sure you can understand why Tom dedicated 10 full years to mastering the art of digging up these fortune-building small businesses, hiding right under Wall Street's nose.
Because, as we've demonstrated clearly today, the fact they are off Wall Street's radar is the No. 1 reason the market's best stocks are phenomenally profitable. Need more proof?
I'm sure you're familiar with Warren Buffett. He became the world's second-richest man by investing in large-cap value stocks. Yet, when Buffett guaranteed he could BANK 50% per year, he would do so under one condition...
Can you guess what that one condition was?
To BANK that 50% per year... to essentially double your money every 20.5 months... Buffett stipulates that he only be given ONLY $1 million to invest -- not a penny more.
Why? Because to maximize his gains, he would buy underfollowed, small-cap stocks.
You heard right, to make 50% per year, even the world's greatest living investor would buy small companies... like Rich Barton's pirated Internet business -- China's version of "the simple idea that dazzled Bill Gates."
Now, a word to the wise!
Earlier I told you I've been an active investor in China for years. In that time, I've seen capable investors (you'd even recognize their names) get creamed trying to crack the Chinese market.
I've also seen enormous corporations spend millions just to extract themselves from disastrous Chinese forays.
But make no mistake about it, China is going to be THE growth story next decade, bar none. And with a business battle-tested U.S., this is one company poised to cash in.
Consider, Microsoft helped launch Rich Barton's "perfect" Internet business into a population of 250 million, only a tiny fraction of which were online.
Now, consider China today. According to Barron's, "With a population of about 1.29 billion, there are already 100 million Internet users in China. About 50% have broadband access, largely via the country's popular Internet cafe culture."
No wonder The Economist recently said of this company's proven business model in Asia, "The potential there is huge."
Of course, you're right to wonder: If this is such a slam dunk, why haven't other companies thought of it? Even companies in China? A few have.
In fact, there is one primary competitor on the scene -- if you can call it that.
But while one company is profitable, controls its operating expenses, and consistently thumps Wall Street estimates... the other pours capital into its business with profitability nowhere in sight.
Could there be room for two players in this massive market? Sure. But to the winner go the spoils, and this is one case where you MUST go with the top dog.
Find out why only one company looks certain to come out on top in Tom Gardner's new report, "How to BANK 'Insider' Profits on the Crazy Idea that Dazzled Bill Gates!"
There's even another reason to get this stock in your portfolio at once... and it may be the most important reason of all.
How much of a sure thing is this? Tom Gardner recommended it 3 times!
Even with the best independent research money can buy, there are no sure things in investing. Anybody who tells you otherwise is lying.
Even so, Tom is so convinced this unstoppable business will make you money, he didn't just re-recommend it once... he made it his top Hidden Gems recommendation on three different occasions.
Please understand, we take these "re-recommendations" seriously at Hidden Gems. Frankly, we know some partners might feel ripped off if they don't get two new picks each month.
For us to re-recommend a company, it has to clear an extremely high hurdle.
That may explain why these re-recommendations have performed so well... and why our partners don't seem to mind when we issue one. Here's why ...
Transkaryotic -- In August 2004, Tom re-recommended drug developer Transkaryotic at $14.20 per share. The stock jumped an additional 161%, turning an original $5,000 investment into $16,864.
Alderwoods -- In January 2004, Tom re-recommended Alderwoods, a provider of funeral services, at $9 per share. The stock jumped an additional 118%, turning an original $5,000 investment into $10,966.
Middleby Corp. -- In February 2005, Tom re-recommended Middleby Corp., a maker of commercial ovens, at $47.32 per share. The stock jumped an additional 65%, turning an original $5,000 investment into $8,249.
Returns as of 7/24/2006
Investors who bought all three -- even those who waited until they were re-recommended to make a move -- turned a $15,000 investment into a whopping $36,019.
And remember, Tom is so excited about the once-in-a-generation opportunity we're discussing today, he recommended it to his partners three times... something he has done on just three prior occasions.
The first was Middleby, the commercial oven maker we just discussed. All told, it's up a stunning 318.2%. Even after its breathless run, Middleby is one of Tom's favorite stocks for new money now.
But it's not Tom's top pick. In fact, there are three other stocks Tom wants you to buy right now. Even before you buy Middleby.
One, of course, is the fortune building China Internet stock with massive potential we're discussing today. The other is a Hidden Gem Tom calls...
The ONE all-American franchise that can't miss!
Like Middleby, this company is company is small but the balance sheet is pristine, the business model is lean, and sales growth is well into the double digits.
But this company is your chance to be an early investor in an up-and-coming, full-on assault-to-your-senses dining chain that's only begun to penetrate a HUGE market.
Think McDonald's or Wendy's or Starbucks. Franchises like these don't come around but once or twice in a generation.
And this one is already catching on like wildfire, most recently with the help of a brash advertising partnership with a major national cable franchise that has been simply outstanding.
Partly as a result, the most recent quarterly report was nothing short of spectacular.
As for the company's management, it's rock-solid (Tom recently sat down with the CEO to discuss the company's exciting prospects. We even video taped the interview for our partners. Just ahead, I'll tell you how you can watch it yourself today.)
And ambitious, too. They have assured Tom repeatedly they fully intend to expand to more than 1,000 locations in the United States. It's a lofty target, but Tom is convinced it will be done.
I guess that explains why the few analysts that cover the company are expecting 25% earnings growth rates over the next five years. And why Wall Street is finally catching on.
Tom's latest models predict this franchise will be valued in excess of $1 billion in the next five years. It's truly baffling that we can still get in at such a low market cap.
So, you see why this opportunity can't last. Here's how we'll make certain you don't miss out.
When you accept your invitation to review Tom's new report detailing how you can profit from "the simple idea that dazzled Bill Gates," I'll also include Tom's full report on his other "highest-rated" stock -- the ONE all-American franchise that can't miss.
Remember, Tom has tagged only four stocks with his highest recommendation EVER. You owe it to yourself to get the full details in Tom's new report, "How to BANK 'Insider' Profits on the Crazy Idea that Dazzled Bill Gates!" Get all the details when you join today.
You'll also discover the Dell of Its Industry
Yes, that's what Tom unabashedly calls this amazing brand. Why?
Because every day, this revolutionary direct-to-consumer manufacturer looks more and more like the 21st century Dell Computer of its lucrative niche market.
Like Dell, this company's breakthrough technology has revolutionized the market for a durable consumer staple.
No wonder Wall Street has started sniffing around (you still have time to beat them to the punch, but probably not for long!).
After all, just like those lucky investors who bought Dell in 1990, this company gives you...
- Rapid-fire growth rates
- Sky-high margins
- A pristine balance sheet
Add to those a 1) world-class board of directors, 2) a motivated executive team, 3) an emerging national brand and you've got yourself the potential for a blockbuster.
But even more reminiscent of Dell in the early years is this company's revolutionary direct-to-consumer distribution model. And get this...
Its nearest competitor's latest SEC filings reveal 1) $900 million in DEBT, 2) an executive team and investor group that SOLD a ton of shares in the offering, and 3) NO clear counter to this company's unique distribution model.
You call that competition? Spare me.
I think you'll agree this is the kind of transformational change and massive competitive advantage that led Dell investors to 1,000%-plus gains... and left onlookers gnashing their teeth.
Because, as always, the earlier you get in... the more money you make.
With the market cap on this one-of-a-kind franchise still hovering around $1 billion, this could be your last chance to get in on the ground floor.
Now, you can get the details on all 3 of Tom's top recommendations now!
