Mega-Trend #4:
The Miner's Revenge! As I mentioned, the financial crisis has put a damper on the global economy. Consequently, producers of raw materials have hit a rough patch, sending mining and commodity stocks lower. Most people are staying away from commodities and base metals. But that's about to change. You see, despite the global slowdown, the world is on the brink of a major infrastructure spending spree. Trillions will be spent worldwide to build new roads, factories, highways, bridges, schools, hospitals, houses, office buildings, power systems, water systems, electrical grids, alternative energy structures. You name it, it is going to get built, and this huge global buildout will require a staggering supply of raw materials. Bottom line: The demand for things like copper, zinc, cobalt and iron is going to soar off the charts... sending a select few mining stocks into orbit. We saw people make a fortune from commodities and natural resources in 2005-2006. For example, Skye Resources (SKR.TO), a nickel mining company, jumped over 1,000% in about one year. Paladin Resources (PDN.AX), a uranium miner, soared 2,000% in about two years. And Western Prospector Group (WNP.V), a mineral miner, climbed 6,100% in about three years. Amazing. But here's the thing you need to understand: The circumstances that exist today will make the next leg of the commodity boom even more lucrative. Here's why: The financial crisis of 2008 crushed commodity and natural resource stocks. With many businesses shutting down operations, the demand for metals dropped. This forced mining companies to suspend, or at least slow, production. As a result, the world's inventory of raw materials has dwindled. In fact, over the last several months, the world has been living off existing supplies. This hasn't created a problem because the demand for raw materials has stayed low. But that's about to change. As I mentioned before, the United States has just passed a $787 billion stimulus package that will spend BILLIONS on infrastructure and construction projects. China has allocated over $500 billion toward infrastructure. Argentine President Cristina Kirchner just unveiled a massive public spending plan to pump more than $32 billion into Argentina's infrastructure. Robert Markman, portfolio manager of the Markman Global Build-Out Fund, concludes that governments around the world "are making plans to jump-start their economies by throwing hundreds of billions of dollars at infrastructure projects." Make no mistake: The world is getting ready to build... and when that happens the demand for raw materials is going to go off the charts. Now, remember, the supply of raw materials has been depleted. We are looking at an explosive supply/demand gap that will make the commodity boom of 2005 look like a bear market. Investment guru Jim Rogers recently told Fortune Magazine: "Historically, the way you make money in times like these is that you find things where the fundamentals are unimpaired. "Virtually the only asset class I know where the fundamentals are not impaired – in fact, where they are actually improving – is commodities. Farmers cannot get a loan to buy fertilizer right now. Nobody's going to get a loan to open a zinc or a lead mine. Meanwhile, every day the supply of commodities shrinks more and more." What's the best way to profit from this situation? Well, you could buy a metals ETF. But I would probably stay away from the broad-based approach, particularly in the cash-strapped mining sector. A better way to play the developing natural resource boom would be to jump on board the mining companies that have produced results in the past. For example, you may want to keep an eye on BHP Billiton (BHP) and Cameco Corp. (CAM). I expect these companies could double in the next few years. But listen, the better way to play this is to pick up a few shares of a company I consider to be one of the most sensational opportunities of the last 75 years. Not only could this company single-handedly resuscitate your investment portfolio... not only could it make up for any money you've lost over the last few months... but it could literally multiply your net worth exponentially. The last time an opportunity this lucrative came around was in 1932... in the middle of the Great Depression. Like all stocks, miners were in the doldrums. They had been absolutely devastated by the collapse of 1929. But while most stocks stayed down for years to come, select mining companies made ground-floor investors mega rich as the New Deal sent the demand for metals soaring! For example, if you had bought shares of National Lead Company – a producer of base metals – back in 1932, you could have made a stunning 8,676% return. That would have turned a $10,000 investment into over $867,000. Think about what a gain like that could do to resurrect your retirement portfolio! Same thing is about to happen... As the global infrastructure boom accelerates, fueled by heavy government spending in China, India and the United States, metal companies are going to return to their previous highs very quickly. In the long run, we are going to see a massive bull market in base metals and commodities. The company we are recommending is a Canadian base metals mining company. The company is engaged primarily on the discovery and production of zinc and copper metal. And they've already proven they can make smart investors a load of money. In fact, back in 2005, their stock went from about $2.50 to over $28 per share. A 1,000% return in about two years. Like every other mining stock on the planet, this company has fallen because of the global financial crisis, down to roughly $12 per share. But in the coming months, we could see it return to its previous highs and beyond. The profit opportunity here is enormous. And while the 8,676% return that National Lead Company generated back in years following the Great Depression... I can tell you that if you take a position now, you will likely experience mind-boggling returns. In order to get you in, we've put together a Special Investment Report called "Miner's Revenge!" It will tell you everything you need to know about this stock. The Report is part of our New World Financial Navigation Kit. I'll give you instructions on how to get free access to the Kit in just a moment. But before I do, I want to tell you about another exceptional opportunity that is emerging at this moment...
