Key Moneymaking Tips for Buy and Hold Investing

Wanted: Savvy Market Predators to “Beta-Test” $100 Million Trading Formula

A Taipan Publishing Group Investment Research Report
by Sandy Franks, Executive Publisher, Taipan Publishing Group

• We’ll give you 42 free plays – handpicked by a retired hedge-fund guru – if you promise to tell us how much money you make over the next 6 months...
• His next pick looks like a triple-digit winner!

I’ll make a deal with you…

A deal that could erase any losses you’ve experienced over the last 12 months…

A deal that could instantly lift you above America’s deepening recession… and elevate your financial status for years to come.

But before I give you the details, I need to caution you: In order to fully exploit this opportunity, you’ll need to be a bit of a “mercenary”. In other words, you must be comfortable collecting big profits… even as most investors suffer irreparable losses.

Are you ok with that? If so, then read on now.

Here’s the situation…

In November 2006, we began “beta-testing” a revolutionary trading research service called Death Cross Trader (DCT). As you’ll see in a moment, the results have been stunning. In fact, they’re almost too good to be true. Let me break it down for you:

Since November 2006, the Dow has plummeted 30%. But during that same time, Death Cross Trader generated over 170 winning plays.

Let me repeat that: In the two years since we began testing the service, DCT has shown our beta-tester subscribers over 170 winning plays, including:

• 214% on New Century in 1 day
• 291% on Fremont in 16 days
• 224% on Pulte in 40 days
• 279% on Lennar in 40 days
• 188% on Thornburg Mortgage in 6 days
• 167% on BEA Systems in 2 days
• 207% on Centex in 6 weeks

Think about it. During one of the most devastating market corrections in history, Death Cross Trader has been piling on the gains at a phenomenal clip.

In fact, many of our “beta-tester subscribers” have made so much money – so fast – that our Customer Service inbox has been flooded with rave reviews.

For example, take this note we received from Bob Kagle, of Tulsa, Oklahoma:

“… the ride has been tremendous!!! Your service has already given me at least 10 times the subscription fee, but I'm greedy, I want it all!!!!!”

Here’s what Alan Carville of Tempe, Arizona wrote to tell us:

“The first trade I have made with Death Cross Trader… I made close to 300%...”

And Peter Lansdale from Boston, Massachusetts wrote to say:

“Not too bad for a week’s trade! Thornburg Mortgage: 270%, Countrywide: 226%. Keep ‘em coming!”

Of course, these guys are only the tip of the iceberg. We’ve got a file drawer full of letters and notes from DCT beta-testers telling us how much money they’re making with DCT…

• George Ingram wrote to tell us he made a 241% profit.
• John Carr wrote to tell us he hit it big on three trades for total gains of 244%.
• And Martha Watkins wrote to tell us she pocketed 396% gains in just nine trading days...

I could go on and on…

As you can imagine, we’re absolutely thrilled with DCT’s performance. But here’s the thing.

The gains have been so good – so unbelievably astronomical – that we’ve decided to conduct a final round of “beta testing”… with a chance we’ll need to limit the number of people who can join… before we release our Death Cross Trader research service to the general public.

To participate in this final phase of testing, there’s only one small catch: If you use one of our trading recommendations and make big money… we want to know exactly how much money you made. All you need do is shoot us a quick e-mail telling us how much money you made.

Please, no exaggerating the claims. No over-hyping your results. Just the simple truth. Of course, we’ll protect your identity.

In return for agreeing to this small stipulation, we’re going to give you 42 extra recommendations over the next 12 months FREE of charge.

Remember: Death Cross Trader has already generated over 170 winning picks in the last two years. There is no doubt in my mind that people who get in on this final beta-test can make a fortune in the coming months.

So, if you think this might be for you, I urge you to read on immediately…

I must point out that because we are giving away 42 picks FREE of charge… if we feel like too many people are jumping in too fast we will be forced to put a tight limit on the number of folks who can participate in this final beta-test phase. That means you’ll need to reserve your spot quickly…

I’ll tell you how to do just that in just a moment. But first, please allow me to introduce myself…

A Shocking Change of Direction

My name, by the way, is Sandy Franks. I’m the Executive Publisher of Taipan Publishing Group, a financial publishing firm based in Baltimore, Maryland since 1989.

This isn’t the first time I’ve written to you about Death Cross Trader. In fact, since November 2006, I’ve contacted you several times about the explosive opportunities DCT offers.

People who have given DCT a try have made out like bandits. In fact, over the last two years, DCT has delivered over 170 winning recommendations, and shown readers gains of 167%... 214%... 291%... 207%... 188%... 224%... 119%... on and on and on.

But don’t worry if you’ve missed out, because DCT is just hitting its stride and the big money is coming down the pike at this moment.

You see, while current market conditions are treacherous for “buy and hold” investors… they are perfect for Death Cross Trader.

That’s because Death Cross Trader preys on overpriced stocks and the naïve investors who buy them. We take advantage of the folks who follow Wall Street’s hype – and turn their lack of trading savvy into our own personal gain.

Sound cruel? Maybe so. But the fact of the matter is this: investing in today’s rocky market environment is a “zero sum game”. There are winners and there are losers. If you are putting all your money into stocks, hoping for a sustained bull market to carry you to retirement, you are going to be on the losing side of the draw for years to come. Keeping your money in the bank is just as bad because inflation is going to eat you alive.

Death Cross Trader gives you a low-risk way to make money, no matter what the market is doing. DCT is for people who want to build wealth now – regardless of market conditions. Here’s a startling fact:

Since November 2006, the Dow has plunged more than 32%... from 12,400 to about 8,400. People who rely on stocks have been decimated.

In fact, Barron’s says over $9.5 trillion in wealth has been evaporated from the equity markets. Yet At the same time, DCT has shown our beta-tester subscribers over 170 winning plays. It’s as simple as that. Let me show you how we do it.

88% Gain in Two Weeks

Temple Inland (TIN) is a corrugated packaging company based in Austin, Texas. And like most of the market, it’s taken a beating the last year. In fact, TIN fell from $55 in September 2007 to about $15 in September 2008. That’s a 73% loss in 12 months!

Of course, after a 73% drop, some folks were convinced that the stock was due for a bounce. In fact, Chip Dillon, an investment analyst from Citi Investment put out a bullish report on container and packaging companies.

Consequently, naïve investors started rushing into TIN. And guess what? TIN experienced a bit of an upswing... the stock experienced a bit of an upward swing… just enough to set up another crash!

Take a look at the chart below. I’ve circled the point when TIN crossed into dangerous territory, catching the attention of our DCT system.

On September 17, 2008, we instructed readers to buy puts on TIN at $3.20. (By the way, a “put option” goes up when the underlying stock falls. You can buy puts just like you buy a stock. It’s very simple. More about this in a moment.)

Anyway, you can probably guess what happened next. TIN’s stock fell and our puts soared. On October 6, we told readers to sell the puts at $6.

Folks who took our advice got the chance to make 88% in just two weeks.

We come across a lot of opportunities like TIN when we run our weekly stock screens. In fact, since we began testing DCT in November 2006, we’ve generated 170 winning plays. In some cases, our readers take down triple-digit gains in a matter of days.

And here’s the good news for you: The ongoing market volatility is ideal for Death Cross Trader.

In fact, it’s presenting the single best money making opportunities I’ve seen in the last 20 years.

Make no mistake: people who buy stocks are going to get hurt. Sure, some stocks will rally, but with the economy slipping deeper into recession, it will be a very long time before you can make any real money with stocks.

DCT gives you a proven way to make money now… regardless of market conditions. We’ve shown our readers 170 winners in the last two years and we are just getting warmed up.

In the coming months, we will likely help to make some people very wealthy. You can get a piece of the action. In fact, if you’ll agree to help us conduct our final beta-test, we’ll give you 42 free picks over the next 12 months.

All we ask is that you let us know how much money you make. Fair enough?

I’ll tell you how to lock in your “beta-test” spot in just a moment. But first, let me show you exactly why DCT is so lucrative in a falling market.

DCT Secret #1: The Sling-Shot Power of Puts

Death Cross Trader makes money when stocks fall. But we do it in a somewhat unique way.

You see, when it comes to falling stocks, most people think you have to “short” the stock in order to make money. (That means you “sell” the stock at a high price, take in cash for the sale, and then “buy” the stock back at a lower price.)

But we don’t like to recommend shorting. We prefer to use “put options”. Why? Three reasons:

• First of all, put options are easy to use. You can buy them just like you buy a stock or mutual funds.
• Second, put options are much safer than short selling. Your risk is always limited and manageable.
• Third, short selling limits your potential for profits to 100%. That’s not bad. But with put options, you can make much more. In some cases, you can make 5 times your money.

And the best thing about puts? You can make huge gains even when the underlying stock only moves a small amount. Take the trade we recommended to readers on BEA Systems...

167% Gain in Two Days!

BEA Systems is an infrastructure software company. Our DCT formula determined that the stock had gone up too far, too fast. It was due for a fall.

Take a look at the chart below. You can see the exact moment Death Cross Trader triggered a “buy” signal at the end of trading on October 22nd, and the exact time we knew to take our gains just two days after we sent readers the put option play.

On October 23, 2007, we instructed readers to buy puts on BEA for 45 cents… Sure enough the BEA’s stock fell. Just two days later, our puts had jumped to $1.20. We issued an alert telling folks to take gains.

People who followed our advice had a chance to make 167% in just two days!

The great part is, BEA stock barely dropped about $1... from about $18.60 to $17.50. But the small drop generated a 167% gain for our readers in just two days.

Bottom line: Even a small drop in a stock’s price can result in explosive gains for our readers.

Now, let me show you the second secret behind Death Cross Trader.

Secret #2: Fat Sheep Never Stop Grazing

Every week, we scan roughly 5,000 stocks looking for the most overpriced companies we can find. Of course, there are a lot of bloated companies out there. But finding an overpriced stock is only the beginning for us.

Once we spot a company that is overbought, we monitor it and wait. Some overpriced stocks fall back to more reasonable levels very quickly. We aren’t interested in these...

Some overpriced stocks slide sideways indefinitely. We aren’t interested in these either...

But some stocks keep right on climbing. And climbing. And climbing!

Not only do these companies keep rising... but they do so on big trading volume.

We call this the “herd effect”. And it’s the result of naïve investors jumping on the latest hot company. When we see this happen, our mouth starts to water because we know big profits are right around the corner for Death Cross Trader.

Listen: Most investors are like sheep. They follow the herd. They see the stock soaring and they want in. They think the momentum will never stop. They think the stock will keep going up forever.

That’s what happened with Pulte Home Builders, another one of Death Cross Trader’s recent winners.

224% Gain in Six Weeks!

Back on October 2nd of last year, Pulte Home Builders was trading for about $16 per share. People were piling into the stock. Problem was, the entire real estate market was falling and homebuilders like Pulte were way overpriced.

But people kept piling in, keeping the price high. BIG MISTAKE!

We instructed readers to buy Pulte puts at $1.85. You can probably guess what happened next. Sure enough, Pulte fell. On November 27, just six weeks later, we told readers to sell our Pulte puts at $6. That’s a 224% gain in about six weeks!

Again, the market conditions are perfect for DCT. Stocks have been falling for the last year or so, and they are going to fall some more. But every time investors think a rally is in the works… they jump in. This means big money for Death Cross Trader.

Of course, there are a ton of overpriced stocks out there. But the key to Death Cross Trader’s success is knowing EXACTLY when to strike. Let me show you how we do it...

Secret #3: The Death Cross

As I mentioned, most investors are like sheep. It’s just human nature to follow the herd. And they can never get their fill of a rising stock.

Thing is, as more and more investors rush in to a high priced stock, they send these already overpriced stocks past the point-of-no-return.

The stocks eventually reach a price level that’s impossible to sustain. This is the point where buyers have overwhelmed sellers. There are simply not enough buyers to keep the stock going. In fact, there aren’t enough new buyers to support the stock’s price.
It can do nothing else but fall.

We call this point-of-no-return the “death cross”.

And that’s the exact moment Death Cross Trader makes its move. We simply recommend you buy puts on the stock. When the price of the stock falls, the puts soar, and you get to make a bundle.

Now, how do we know when a stock has made its death cross?

We use a complex combination of fundamental analysis and technical indicators.
Because of the proprietary nature of this strategy, we can’t give you the details in this letter. We've spent years developing the Death Cross indicator, and we can’t just give it away.

But I can tell you the results are deadly accurate. Consider Starbucks Coffee...

72% in Six Days

As you know, Starbucks (SBUX) is a national coffee chain with roughly 8,000 shops worldwide. I can tell you: People love this stock.

Why? Because they see it every day. They think just because they spend $5 a day on vanilla lattes and scones that the company is a sure-fire winner. Consequently, when a stock like Starbucks gets on a roll, people blindly climb on board. They want a piece of the action...

And guess what? These naïve folks drive the price up too far, too fast. That’s exactly what happened last summer… on July 2, 2008.

The markets were rocky, and Starbucks had fallen about 15% since June. People thought it was a great opportunity to get in low. So they started buying… pushing Starbucks beyond its “death cross”.

We instructed readers to buy Starbucks puts on July 2nd, at $1.09. Not a moment too soon. The stock started to fall almost immediately. On July 11th, just six days later, our readers were able to take gains of 72% in less than a week.

Again, the stock didn’t fall very far. But even the small drop was enough to help our readers nearly double their money in six days.

Of course this is only one of many successful trade recommendations. In fact, since we started testing DCT back in November 2006, it has delivered over 170 winning plays, including:

• 214% on New Century in 1 day
• 291% on Fremont in 16 days
• 126% on Countrywide in 6 days
• 136% on Hovnanian in 13 days
• 141% on Accredited Home Lenders in 4 days
• 134% on Centex in 19 days
• 224% on Pulte in 40 days
• 279% on Lennar in 40 days
• 188% on Thornburg Mortgage in 6 days
• 122% on Safeway in 19 days
• 131% on Devon Energy in 1 day
• 92% on Toll Brothers in 10 days
• 167% on BEA Systems in 2 days
• 207% on Centex in 6 weeks
• 111% on Standard Pacific in 2 days
• 197% on MBIA in 6 weeks

And many, many more!

Of course, these winners have come and gone. It’s too late to get in now. But here’s the good news for you: Death Cross Trader is just getting warmed up.

This rocky market environment is ideal for DCT. People are going to make a fortune. And we’d like you to get a piece of the action by joining our final round of beta-testing.

Securing your spot is a pretty simple thing to do. But if you are interested in becoming a beta-tester and receiving our winning recommendations on a regular basis, we’ll need to hear from you right away.

As I mentioned earlier, since this is our final phase of beta-testing, we will need to closely monitor how many readers can flood in at once, and we’re ready to put a firm limit on the number of people we can accept. And from our past experience, readers are eager to participate. Spots fill up quickly. So you’ll need to act fast.

I’ll tell you how to secure your DCT beta-test spot in just a moment. I’ll also tell you about your first free recommendation. But first, let me explain why I’m so confident you’ll be able to make more money in your first six months of using DCT than you ever dreamed possible.

Stone Cold Market Predator

As I mentioned, the market is absolutely perfect for DCT. People are running around scared, confused… and big mistakes are being made. That means big money is on the table and we want to make sure our DCT readers get their share of the profits.

That’s why we’ve spent a fortune luring a world-class hedge-fund trader out of retirement to head up Death Cross Trader.

Our new “secret weapon’s” name is Zachary D. Scheidt. If his name sounds familiar, it’s because he is one of the most respected and highly capable money managers on the planet.

For eight years, Mr. Scheidt ran a hedge fund, managing over $100 million for some of the wealthiest and most astute investors in the world. His Rolodex includes some of the top investment minds on Wall Street. Because of a strict confidentiality agreement in Mr. Scheidt’s contract, I can’t reveal their true identities, but you would recognize these folks in an instant.

I’m talking about people like one of the heaviest hitters at Morgan Stanley. When I say “heavy hitter” I’m referring to a guy who actually operates with a staff of administrative people just to field his phone calls and line up his appointments all the while advising hundreds of millions in assets. Every year Barron’s publishes a list of the top 100 financial planners. This guy is a regular on the list.

Then there’s the guy who was courted by a half-dozen investment firms because of his credibility and the amount of money he makes for his clients. He has access to one of the strongest financial research teams available.

The list goes on and on. On top of this, Zachary is a CFA Charterholder. The CFA is the world’s leading organization of investment professionals. Not everyone can join this group. You have to pass a rigorous exam and meet certain professional criteria.

I’m telling you all of this so you realize the serious moneymaking opportunity before you. You see as a beta-tester of DCT, you’ll be receiving “hand-picked” recommendations not just from any analyst, but a bona-fide market professional.

And here’s the key: Mr. Scheidt specializes in “gladiator style” trading. In fact, he has a reputation as a “take-no-prisoners” player. In short, his specialty as a hedge-fund guy was turning market pain into gain for his clients.

That means big money for you and the rest of our DCT beta-testers!

In fact, as a new DCT beta-tester, you’ll receive 42 free plays over the next year.

I can tell you right now, DCT has already generated 170 winning picks, and with Mr. Scheidt at the helm, I wouldn’t be surprised to see some of our beta-testers pocket a fortune… over and over again… starting as early as tomorrow morning.

In fact… he’s just isolated the next Death Cross situation!

This situation – unfolding at this moment – is on the cusp of handing you a massive profit opportunity that could double... triple... or even quadruple your money in very short order.

We call this situation the “Consumer Shockwave Trade”. You’ll understand why the moment you receive detailed trading instructions. But I can tell you right now it is pure Death Cross Trader material…

A decimated market sector… a fascinating back-story that will blow your mind... and a simple, specific play that could triple your money by New Year’s Day!

In an effort to get you in on the ground floor, I’ll send you a Special Report called “Consumer Shockwave Trade: Triple Your Money by New Year’s Day!”

The Report will give you simple detailed trading instructions that will tell you exactly how to make this recommended trade for maximum potential gain. The Report is yours... free... when you agree to become a DCT beta-tester. And remember: If you sign up now... you’ll get 42 plays… absolutely free… over the next 12 months. Let me show you how it works…

How to Get 42 Trade Recommendations… Absolutely Free!

I’m so excited about Death Cross Trader that I’ve put together a special deal just for you. The truth is my business partner tells me its crazy – outright insane – to do this.

But I’m so confident that you’ll be able to make a small fortune with DCT over the next few months… that I’ve decided to remove all barriers that could hold you back from joining the final phase of our DCT beta-test. Here’s the deal…

As you know, many investment advisory services run upwards of $5,000. And many of our original DCT beta-tester subscribers paid $1,750 for a full year of Death Cross Trader.

And you know what? They’re glad they did. That’s because DCT has generated over 170 winning picks and given readers a chance to pocket single-trade gains of 214%… 291%… 224%… 279%… 188%… 167%… and 207% and many more.

But… if you’ll help us conduct our final round of DCT beta-testing… you won’t pay anywhere near that much.

In fact, you’ll pay a mere $250 for one full year of Death Cross Trader. That’s an incredible 85% discount off the original… an immediate cash savings of $1,500.

Because DCT will provide you with at least 52 recommended trades over the next year (minimum of one per week)… paying a mere $250 is like getting 42 trades… absolutely free.

And remember, the moment I hear from you, you’ll get immediate access to the Special Report “The Consumer Shockwave Trade: Triple Your Money by New Year’s Day!”

Also, when you become a new member to Death Cross Trader, you get an entire arsenal of wealth building tools that you can access anywhere you have an Internet connection. Just take a look at what you'll receive:

In fact, it’s just the first in a steady flow of triple-digit winners you’ll likely see as a Death Cross Trader.

You see, Zachary will issue a new Death Cross trading pick at least once a week. And as I’ve shown you, DCT has already produced 170 winning plays with a string of gains including 214%… 291%… 224%… 279%… 188%… 167%… and 207%.

There’s no reason these gains won’t continue. In fact, because current market conditions are perfect for DCT… the gains will likely increase.

And Zachary makes it easy for you to succeed. As I said, Zach will hand pick a new recommendation and send it to you via special e-mail alert. Plus, he’ll monitor each pick, and stay in constant contact with you. In fact, you’ll receive e-mail updates daily, letting you know exactly when to lock-in your profit.
