Skyrocketing oil prices. Gold shooting past $900 an ounce.
The subprime scandal.

The uncertainty of the stock market today is greater than at any other time in history. Yet even in these extremely turbulent times you could be building a highly successful portfolio with consistent growth.

The proof? In this most unpredictable time, readers of my investment advisory, The Successful Investor, have watched their Conservative Growth Portfolios increase a stunning 339.3% since 1995…even as the recent turbulence was decimating the portfolios of many investors. They did it by taking profitable advantage of my proprietary ValuVesting System.

And I see no reason, even with the current market conditions, why we can’t repeat that performance, and perhaps even beat it, over the next 24 months!

What’s the secret to this kind of success?

Simple…I’ve learned in almost 5 decades of investing that above all else, investing with a conservative, reduced-risk strategy consistently and reliably beats other approaches. I’ve seen this approach succeed time and time again. I call it “Safety-First” investing, and it works especially in difficult markets like today’s.

It is this technique that has allowed me to identify one winning stock after another. And to help my subscribers build portfolios that grow in good times and bad.

In fact, I’d love to tell you about an undervalued resource stock I recently identified using my ValuVesting System. Even as the whole natural resources sector is poised to move even higher, this stock has more potential than any copper, silver, uranium or even gold stock I've recommended in a very long time.

Let me tell you why I’m so excited about it.

First, this company's low costs and variety of income sources let it prosper when oil and natural gas prices go up, but it also shields its profits when prices fall.

Second, it has cash flow of over $4 billion per year-and it's using it to buy back shares, raise dividends, and invest in growth projects that will let it thrive for years to come. Better still, its earnings growth has averaged 21.3% a year over the past 5 years.

All these factors make this stock a very attractive buy and a stock that has the potential to double or triple over a relatively short period of time. In fact, I have not been this excited about a stock since I recommended Symantec as my #1 buy back in January 2003, and it shot up 209% in just 2 years!

You can learn all the details about this stock when you request a FREE copy of My #1 Resource Stock for 2008. I’ll tell you how a little later on, but first let me assure you…

Yes, there is a steady way to make reliable profits in times like these…by investing wisely and early in stocks that grow relentlessly, building your wealth at very low risk. It’s this approach that over the last 7 years has allowed my subscribers to…

• Make profits of 146.61% in our Conservative Growth Portfolio
• Make profits of 110.36% in our Portfolio for Income-Seeking Investors
• And make profits of 175.89% in our Aggressive Growth Portfolio

All while the S&P/TSX rose just 23.7%.

(And it is important to note that these are all published portfolios that you will be able to follow yourself in the pages of The Successful Investor. Plus they are all tracked and rated by The Hulbert Financial Digest.)

Here are just some of the stocks that have earned big profits for my subscribers over the past few years:

• Aluminum producer Alcan exploded 68.7% in 2 months on a takeover offer after I recommended it to my readers in May 2007.
  
• BCE exploded 33.3% in one month on a takeover bid after I recommended it as a Best Buy in March 2007.
  
• Bombardier shot up 69.9% in just 5 months after I made it a buy in January 2007.

Of the 38 stocks in the Conservative Growth Portfolio, positive returns have ranged up to 1,431.5% since I recommended them.

Combine outsized profits with minimal losses, and you’ve got a portfolio that makes you a great deal of money AND lets you sleep soundly at night in both good markets and bad.

The foundation behind my stock selection success is my exclusive ValuVesting System. It’s designed to find stocks whose built-in value limits losses during downturns.

Of course, these same factors that prevent a stock from plummeting during market turbulence can also send prices soaring. And with the geopolitical and economic conditions we’re looking at during the next 2 years, you’ll want the profit-making accuracy of my ValuVesting System more than ever before.

That way you’ll know precisely what to do if…

• The U.S. banking crisis takes hold here and begins to strongly affect the Canadian stock markets
• Skyrocketing oil prices trigger an economic crisis and bring on an extended recession
• Continued political in-fighting leads Ottawa to forget its promises of lower taxes

In this special online report, I’m going to take you behind the scenes and reveal some of the actual tools I use to find stocks that combine high upside potential with limited downside risk.

By the time you’re finished, I think you’ll understand why the 7 secrets revealed here are the key to constructing a portfolio that delivers consistent returns regardless of what the rest of the market is doing.

Naturally, I’m hoping you’ll realize the most convenient way to use these tools is to let me do the number crunching for you. That’s why I’ll be offering you an opportunity to sample my investment advisory service without risk or obligation.

But even if you decide not to take me up on my offer, I hope you’ll start to use the investing tools explained in this online report. I guarantee they’ll make you a more successful investor.

The first secret is to understand market trends.

Your portfolio is in danger if you don’t understand the big changes that have happened in the market due to recent economic and geopolitical transformations. They’re causing a historic market shakeout that will make some investors rich.

Investors who see it coming could profit 300% or more in 2–3 years. Others will go crashing down with the entire “second tier” of stocks.

Companies without solid earnings or a valid technological edge, as well as those that are scandal-plagued with greed, are falling like dominoes. You’ve seen them drift with no growth, or crash entirely.

And their investors have taken massive losses.

Take the recent fall of Countrywide Financial. Here was a company that was flying high during the housing boom, but did not have the solid underpinnings to withstand the sudden hit from the subprime fallout. Within a few months its stock went from $45.26 to $4.43.

It looks like it will take first-tier Bank of America’s buyout of Countrywide to help investors salvage something. Unfortunately, collapses like Countrywide’s can have a major effect on the market

During the market’s nose dive of a few years ago, many solid companies were unsteadied. But as I told my readers at the time, this was only temporary. And top-tier stocks had a major comeback.

So, if you can recognize top-tier stocks and know when to buy, they offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you to increase your profits 300% or more in just 2–3 years from now.

You can prepare yourself for this historic two-tier split and make sure you’re investing only in first-tier stocks by reading Volume 6 of the Investor’s Guide, The New 2-Tier Market: Prepare Yourself for Profits of 300% or More. (Click here for a complete description.)

This report will tell you why it’s happening, plus how to recognize first-tier stocks and how to get huge profits from them.

The second secret is a crucial issue to pay immediate attention to…

Knowing how to invest according to this rule could mean an increase of 50% on top of your expected gains from investing in the top two-tier market stocks! That means that if you invest exactly when I tell you to, and you sell again 2 years later exactly when I tell you to, you can increase your gains by up to 50%!

And that’s historically predictable. Since 1832, this pattern has produced gains of 557%, compared to an 81% gain for the same time period for stocks bought exactly opposite to the pattern’s timing.

And right now…we’re smack in the middle of the prime investment portion of the cycle and that could mean great things for your portfolio.

You’ll want to know all about the 4-Year Rule that’s upon us right now, so be sure you read Volume 7 of the Investor’s guide, The 4-Year Cycle: How to Increase Your Gains by 50%.

Now let’s look at…

The most important secret for successful investing really isn’t a secret at all. In fact, it’s something I’ve preached for years to all who would listen. Sadly, too many investors haven’t heeded my advice…

A portfolio is more than just a collection of individual investments. It’s a combination of investments that work together over time to achieve your financial goals. The key, of course, is finding the right combination.

Stocks can be classified according to the many categories supplied by the stock exchanges, fund companies and bond rating companies. Categories like small caps, cyclicals, consumer nondurables and so on, ad infinitum.

The problem with labels like these is that they’re designed for ease of classification, or to sell you something.

I use a reality-based approach, which aims to make money for you. I classify stocks into 1 of 5 easy-to-identify economic sectors:

1. Manufacturing and industry
2. Resources and commodities
3. Utilities
4. Finance
5. Consumer goods and services

As I explain more fully in Volume 2 of your FREE Investor’s Guide, How to Build an “Unsinkable” Portfolio (click here for a complete description), each sector has its own distinct characteristics. Finance and utilities are the most stable and offer some of the highest yields. The manufacturing and resources sectors are the most uncertain. Consumer stocks are somewhere in the middle.

Generally speaking, you should have holdings in all 5 economic sectors, with the proportion in each depending on how much risk you’re willing to accept and how much current income you need. But above all, you need to stick to high-quality stocks while avoiding stock promotions.

I help you do this in each issue of The Successful Investor. But let me start here by giving you an important heads-up on two issues that will dramatically affect all your investments.

First, to ensure steady gains, my starting point is to immerse myself in financial statements.

Like many investors, I start my search for winning stocks by looking at a company’s income statement and balance sheet. But unlike the typical investor, I don’t accept the figures that appear there, especially those that purport to show the company’s earnings, and here’s why…

A company’s earnings are inherently unreliable for a couple of reasons. First, they’re usually based on estimates of unit sales, costs and a variety of other factors, all of which are subject to constant revision. Second, earnings are adjusted (cynics would say manipulated) in accordance with a variety of accounting rules that frequently do more to distort than to clarify.

For example…

• I recommended Gennum Corp. in September 2007 at $9.59, despite the fact the company planned to record a pretax loss of between $5 million and $7 million on the sale of its hearing-aid operations. Gennum designs and makes specialized chips and equipment that let broadcasters transmit and store TV signals with minimal loss of quality.
  
  The company had already lost $7 million, or $0.19 a share, in the previous quarter due to write-downs of the value of its manufacturing plants and some obsolete inventory.
  
  However, I knew the losses were due to one-time restructuring charges, rather than operational weakness. Ongoing cash flow remained strong at $0.07 a share in the latest quarter.
  
  When investors realized that the company would soon return to profitability, especially after the sale of its money-losing hearing aid operations, the stock jumped 30.3% in just 4 months.
  
  
• I issued a “buy” recommendation on premium beer brewer Sleeman Breweries in April 2006, at $11.40, after strong competition from low-priced beers pushed the stock down. Plus, one-time charges for cost cuts and reorganizing were likely to move the company to report a loss.
  
  Cash flow was still positive, and I felt the setbacks were temporary. One month later, the company announced that it might sell assets or put itself up for sale. Its stock shot up to over $16, giving readers of The Successful Investor a gain of 40% in just 1 month.
  
  In August 2006, Sleeman accepted a $17.50-a-share all-cash takeover offer from Japan’s Sapporo Breweries. That pushed the gain up to 54% in 5 months!

One way to overcome the distortions caused by deductions for goodwill, purchased R&D (research and development), depletion allowances, depreciation, etc., is to disregard them. You do that by adding these items back to earnings.

This results in “cash flow per share,” which gives you an idea of how much cash a company has available for investment or dividends.

Cash flow can reveal hidden value (which is what my ValuVesting System is all about), but it can also hide problems…

As you saw with Gennum and Sleeman Breweries, cash flow is often a better indicator of a company’s fortunes than earnings. But that’s not true for all companies in every sector. In some instances, cash flow can be terribly misleading.

This is particularly true for income trusts where essentially the trust hands out most of its cash flow to investors. It can be great for investors in good times. However, that often leaves the company with very little in reserve to carry through a period of slow sales and that quickly spells disaster for the investors.

For instance, Spinrite Income Fund was launched in February 2005, amid a lot of broker attention due to a rise in popularity of knitting bringing a demand for fancier yarn.

Units reached a high of $14.25 in August of 2005, but when sales began to lag, the units quickly fell to just under $6. And the unit holders ultimately paid a terrible price.

With the lack of sales and rising inventories at retailers, Spinrite announced that it would be cutting distributions by more than half, causing the unit price to collapse all the way to $2.50 and the investors to lose twice.

While I do recommend income trusts from time-to-time, I am quick to point out that this kind of business strategy can come undone if growth slows, even a little bit.

The bottom line is that the calculations you’ll need to properly determine cash flow vary from industry to industry. Using the same formula for all companies in all economic sectors will likely fill your portfolio with losers.

You’ll find the tools you need to properly calculate a company’s cash flow, including specific adjustments needed for particular industries, in your 7-volume set of the Investor’s Guide—Triple Your Wealth & Slash Your Risk: How to Generate Outsized Profits in Uncertain Markets. (These calculating tools are in Volume 4, Finding the Real Bottom Line.) Read on to learn how you can receive a copy, absolutely FREE.

Once you have a company’s “earnings” (whether you take the easy way and use reported earnings or calculate a more accurate cash flow figure), you can combine that number with the stock’s price to get the P/E (Price/Earnings) ratio.

This is one of the most widely used investing tools on Earth. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work the way most people think it does…

The P/E ratio appears in the stock tables of just about every North American newspaper and is used by a great majority of investors. But although the P/E ratio seems easy to use, it’s much more complex than most investors realize…

• What number should you use for the “E” part of the ratio? Earnings for the preceding year, the current year or the next year?
  
• Is it more meaningful to compare a company’s P/E ratio to that of other companies in its sector or to its own P/E ratio over various periods?
  
• How does the business cycle affect the P/E ratio of various kinds of companies, and what adjustments do you have to make to compensate for this phenomenon?
  
• Should you sell a stock if its P/E ratio gets too high? If so, how do you decide what’s “too high”?

You’ll find answers to these questions (and several more that may not have occurred to you) in Volume 5 of the Investor’s Guide, The Uses and Abuses of P/E Ratios. (Click here for a complete description.) I’ll tell you how you can receive a FREE copy of the 7-volume Guide in a moment. But first, I’d like to share with you one of the most important points that Volume 5 of the Investor’s Guide makes…

One of the biggest mistakes investors make is buying a stock with a low P/E ratio, thinking that this ensures that they’re getting a “bargain.” Sometimes that’s true, but sometimes a low P/E stock is a sign of danger. Here’s why…

When a profitable company is headed for a long period of losses, its share price usually drops far more quickly than its earnings. That’s because well-informed investors and insiders sell before the bad news becomes widely known.

So, before the “E” shrinks (i.e., before earnings disappear), the stock passes through a low P/E period. Buying at this point is like getting on a train just before it derails.

Analyzing a company’s income statement is the key to determining the quality of its earnings. Analyzing its balance sheet is the key to finding stocks about to soar…

One of my most consistently successful techniques for finding winning stocks involves going on a treasure hunt of sorts…

Just as reported earnings don’t really tell us how profitable a company is, its balance sheet doesn’t always reveal the true value of its assets. Some of a corporation’s most valuable assets—its so-called intellectual property—are carried on the books at nominal amounts.

This would include patents, customer lists, brand names, etc. The classic example, of course, is the secret formula for Coca-Cola, which is reputedly carried on the company’s books at one dollar.

In addition, many companies own assets that never appear on their balance sheets at all. These include such things as a crucial market position, or a long-standing customer base to which a company can sell new products and services.

Readers of The Successful Investor have made incredible profits over the years from companies that have hidden assets. For example…

• Canadian Tire tripled in price as its investments in technology and new-format stores began to pay off.
• Canadian Pacific doubled when it started to liquidate its real estate holdings, freeing up more than a billion dollars, cutting its debt and allowing it to focus on its core businesses.
• Alcan, a Canadian aluminum producer, soared 68.7% in just 2 months when Rio Tinto Ltd. made a successful takeover bid for the company after recognizing it had access to cheap electricity, a key component in aluminum production, at a time of soaring energy prices.

As you can see, hidden value takes many forms. So it should come as no surprise that you can’t uncover it using just one tool or technique.

In your FREE 7-volume Investor’s Guide, Triple Your Wealth & Slash Your Risk: How to Generate Outsized Profits in Uncertain Markets (click here for a complete description), you’ll find multiple ways to assess the real value of a company’s assets.

This investing shortcut
could cost you a fortune!

If you’re tempted to forgo the research needed to find winning stocks and depend instead on advice from your broker, you better be aware of the brokerage industry’s dirtiest little secret…

The price of these stocks is artificially inflated by all the hot air coming from the firms’ analysts (who, these days, seem to spend more time on television than in their offices). As the price goes up, the brokers encourage more and more customers to buy so they won’t “miss out” on the gains.

This creates a vicious cycle as new buyers drive up the price even more. But once the firms’ salespeople have sold these stocks to as many customers as they can, the buying frenzy stops…and prices collapse. And if the analysts’ projections prove to be off the mark, the selling (and resulting price decline) is especially ferocious. That’s exactly what happened to:

• Angiotech, the maker of stents used to keep arteries open, lost half its value in 2006 as investors realized it wasn’t likely to make enough money soon enough to justify its $1.6 billion market cap.
• Biovail, the well-known specialty pharmaceutical company, saw its stock drop a sickening 25% in 1 day after a court ruled that a competitor could produce a generic version of its lead drug.

And artificially inflated stocks are just one reason to be wary of brokers. With today’s low interest rates some brokers are urging clients to buy structured investments…

I like to call them “Frankenstein” investment products. They are created when a brokerage firm’s underwriting department takes genuinely desirable securities and slices and dices them into a new structured investment.

While these investments often offer principal protection or a guaranteed interest rate, they also come with such big fees that while you may make a few dollars, the big winners will be your broker and his bosses.

“But Pat,” you may be saying, “I don’t need to worry because I do business with a very conservative broker.” In that case, you need to hear the heartbreaking story of what a “conservative” broker did to one investor’s life savings. Although this broker only put his client into “good-quality companies,” the results were a disaster.

The whole sad story appears in a new Special Report, How a “Conservative” Broker Can Send You to the Poorhouse. It’s yours, along with the 7-volume set of my new Investor’s Guide—Triple Your Wealth & Slash Your Risk: How to Generate Outsized Profits in Volatile Markets, without cost when you agree to a no-risk examination of…

The Successful Investor advisory service is much more than just a monthly advisory. It’s a comprehensive approach to safely making money in today’s tumultuous markets. The service consists of the following:

• Monthly advisory filled with honest buy and sell recommendations (no weasel words that leave you wondering what I really think about a stock). In addition, each issue provides you with a plain-English explanation of what’s happening with the market and the economy.

I work hard at making The Successful Investor an “easy read.” Perhaps that’s why the Toronto Star described my writing style as “a cross between the gentle instruction in fundamental analysis of a Benjamin Graham and the folksy but trenchant wit of a Mark Twain.”

• Monthly Portfolio Updates that track the progress of previous recommendations so you can see at a glance how well you’re doing and how each investment fits into your overall portfolio strategy. There are three separate portfolios to accommodate different levels of risk tolerance.

1. The Conservative Growth Portfolio is the core of our service. This is where you should invest the bulk of your stock market money. It includes many major Canadian companies, although there are some glaring omissions. (It takes more than mere size or popularity with brokers to win a place in this portfolio.)
   
   
2. The Portfolio for Income-Seeking Investors Income investors trust our income portfolio because they know the high safety standards and stringent tests that apply to all the stocks in the portfolio. And, the results have been impressive. Yields on each stock range from 0.8% to 15.8%. Each stock rose in price as well, with gains of up to 658.8%.
   
   
3. The Aggressive Growth Portfolio consists of companies with many of the attributes of the stocks in the Conservative Growth Portfolio, but which require additional seasoning before they’re ready to be upgraded to that portfolio. Although these stocks are more uncertain than those in the Conservative Growth Portfolio, they have the potential for truly mind-boggling returns. For example, Sleeman Breweries soared a spectacular 54% in just 5 months.

• 24-hour Telephone or Email Hotline. Although my ValuVesting System avoids frequent trading, it’s entirely possible that events will occur between issues of the advisory that require you to take immediate action. If that happens, all you have to do is pick up the phone and call the Hotline, or check your email anytime day or night. I’ll record a new message 50 times a year (same for email) or more often if circumstances warrant.

• My new Investor’s Guide. In this online report, I’ve provided just a small sample of the information you’ll find in Triple Your Wealth & Slash Your Risk: How to Generate Outsized Profits in Uncertain Markets.

P.S. The model portfolio I told you about—the one that generated a stunning 339.3% return during one of the most uncertain markets in history—is my Conservative Growth Portfolio. (By the way, 30 of the 38 stocks in this portfolio had returns of 102.9% or more since I recommended them.)

P.P.S. As I mentioned, companies that are positioned to take advantage of secular trends often enjoy explosive increases in their share price. The oil boom in the Maritime Provinces is a perfect example. I’ll tell you more about this as yet underappreciated trend, and name the companies that are poised to cash in big because of it, in my new Special Report, How to Profit from Black Gold in the Maritimes (a $29.95 value).
