And these other (carnival sideshow) Agora Financial Publications:
Economics & Politics
“Using the put options or outright short plays we recommend, you can protect your money and get some payback when bloated stocks get what they deserve.
Calling the shots is lead analyst Dan Amoss. He holds the Chartered Financial Analyst® designation, a professional designation widely recognized within the investment community. And one of his first jobs was with Investment Counselors of Maryland, and investment advisor for one of the top small-cap value mutual funds over the past 15 years.”
Growth, Tech & Med
“…bulletin board and over-the-counter stocks.
Bulletin Board Elite is the only investment letter committed to bringing disciplined valuation, high-level due diligence and critical analysis to the world of true penny stocks.
Lead editor Greg Guenthner knows how to get to the bottom of things — sifting through the information for you and meeting with the management.”
“…if you want to win, you need a reliable small-cap stock picker. And that’s exactly what Penny Stock Fortunes provides. It’s home to the proprietary CXS System, a five-point checklist for finding cheap stocks with phenomenal profit potential.
Behind the curtain is Greg Guenthner. Trained in newsroom, he knows where to dig for the truth about small-cap companies. He knows the people to talk to, the right questions to ask — ensuring that you never risk your money foolishly.”
Investment in scientific breakthroughs and technologies. “…your guide is Patrick Cox.
“Patrick got his start in computer software development and manufacturing. In the 1990s, he was a consultant for Netscape — the company that handled 90% of all Internet browsing traffic at the time. He’s appeared on Crossfire and Nightline, and his writing has been featured in USA Today.
His credentials make him one of the best tech analysts working today. He offers a pragmatic look at companies creating nearly unbelievable technologies. And his research has paid off. A single position in 2008 jumped 235% in exactly nine months!”
Crisis & Opportunity
“…if you want to buy a truly undervalued stock, you need to dig deep.
And that’s exactly what editor Chris Mayer does in every issue of Capital & Crisis. As a former corporate lending bank officer, Chris knows what makes good companies tick. He’s an expert at finding “treasures” in a company’s books, from undervalued assets to underappreciated business lines.
…Chris follows in the footsteps of legendary investors like Benjamin Graham or Warren Buffett — pinpointing the same kinds of companies they might buy. That’s no coincidence: Chris has an unusual fondness for old books, old investors and old ideas. He claims a personal library of over 400 books, numerous periodicals, papers and pamphlets, which he brings to bear on understanding the financial world of today.
His essays have appeared on a number of Web sites and publications, including The Mises Institute, the Freeman, The Daily Reckoning, GoldEagle.com, LewRockwell.com, FiendBear.com, PrudentBear.com, Grant’s Investor and Individual Investor Magazine. His views on financial matters have also been widely quoted, including in the highly regarded Grant’s Interest Rate Observer.
You couldn’t ask for a better guide to value stocks.”
“Everybody knows that making bigger profits means taking bigger risks. That’s why conservative investors avoid promises of super-sized gains.
But Chris Mayer, the value-minded genius behind Capital & Crisis, is working hard to change that myth. His Mayer’s Special Situations is dedicated to taking you to the edge of risk-versus-reward.”
Dividends and other income streams…
“Using a seven-point filtering strategy, editor Jim Nelson specializes in finding companies that are well-established, well-positioned, safe and fundamentally solid.”
Options Investing
“Oil… copper… wheat… natural gas… even coffee. While you’re consuming these things each day, traders are making billions of dollars off of them.
Resource Trader Alert is your chance to dip into some of those profits. It’s like a VIP pass to the “Millionaire’s Market” of natural resources. Using instruments almost identical to the stock options you’re used to, you can turn tiny commodity fluctuations into double- or triple-digit profits.
That’s right — you can make money whether prices are going up or down. And Resource Trader Alert editor Alan Knuckman will show you how.
Alan has over 18 years of commodities experience, starting on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade itself. So he knows the jargon and an extensive list of “in the know” contacts. But he’ll never make you feel like a chump. He makes his analysis and instructions crystal clear — so you always know exactly what you need to do.”
“Options Hotline is one of the oldest and most successful options advisories available today.
Legendary author, researcher and options expert Paul Sarnoff created Options Hotline to help everyday investors understand how simple puts and calls could add a nice boost to your wealth.
Today Options Hotline is managed by Paul’s son, Steve, who was only too happy to follow in his father’s footsteps. At the heart of Options Hotline’s success is a strategy Steve likes to call “Superleverage” — the power to turn relatively small stock moves into big, big profits.
…Steve credits his tremendous success to lessons from his father as well as techniques he developed on his own. In fact, Steve pioneered the use of the Japanese candlestick charting technique — an ancient and amazingly accurate style of technical analysis that was virtually unknown to Western traders until just a few decades ago.
Today Steve is considered the foremost expert of candlesticks. Richard Russell, publisher of the Dow Theory Letters, even called Steve “the master of candlesticks.”
In between his weekly Options Hotline recommendations, Steve runs Samurai Strategies, Inc. based in San Diego, Calif. He has experience on the floor of the Commodity Exchange (Comex) in New York, and once worked as a stock and commodities broker with Dean Witter in La Jolla, Calif. And he has been a guest on the Market Talk radio show and has been quoted in Barron’s.
You can’t find a better source for option recommendations.”
“Currency trading…
…pioneering these new instruments is Bill Jenkins and his Master FX Options Trader. As an amateur investor, Bill lost thousands of dollars following other people’s advice. Then he discovered how lucrative the currency markets and studied them to learn exactly how they worked.”
Gold, Oil & Energy
“…earn big money from the things that keep the world running. Things like oil… copper… natural gas… wheat… electricity… aluminum… fertilizer… coal… corn… water… even silver and gold.
…lead editor is Byron King, a former geologist and business lawyer.”
“…Peak Oil — the end of cheap energy prices — is here, even if Washington and the mainstream press want to deny it. The evidence just gets stronger by the day… and that means giant spikes in energy prices could be just months away.
Lead editor Byron King is a Harvard-trained geologist who once worked for a major oil company. He’s seen the data. He knows what it means. And he’s figured out your best ways to play it.”
