The best traders don't follow Wall Street. They lead it by the nose...



Confessions of a

Renegade Investor

"By the Time Wall Street's Pinstriped,

Laptop-toting Nerds Show Up... I'm already Counting My Cash!"


It's the only way you can turn... $1,000 into $39,746

$5,000 into $60,341, and... $10,000 into $750,156

Dear Reader:


Even if you read the financial papers every day, chances are you

haven't heard about the following stocks:


Flamel, a biopharmaceutical company, up 3975% in the 2 ½ years

Rediff, a leading newspaper publisher, up 4352% in the same time

Banco Frances, up 646% in 20 months

Grupo Financiero, a financial conglomerate, up 3468%, in 16 months

Ilog, a maker of business-to-business software, up 344% in the same time

Zindart, a capital goods manufacturer, up 700% in a year and a half.

Nortel Inversora, a computer networking firm, up 1207% in 16 months.

Telecom Argentina, 1127% in 17 months.

And Netease, an Internet Technology company, up 7502% in 26 months!

You could have bought any one of these stocks as easily as you buy GE.

Yet, chances are your broker never told you about them.


And if he does recommend them to you now... run, don't walk! By the

time Wall Street brokers start recommending stocks like these, the

smart money is already cashing out.


In this letter, I'll show you how we've recommended investments

similar to the above-mentioned that have gone on to post explosive profits in an

even shorter time frame! Gains like...


403% on the Singapore Fund in eight months

192% on International Uranium since I recommended it just six months ago

315% on Telebras in eight months

115% on North American Silver, just closed out after just nine months

And gains of 137% in 3 weeks, 159% in 4 weeks, and 107% in six weeks -

all in the same recent six-week period!

Plus many more...

But I also promise to give you a far more valuable understanding of

the true nature of financial markets than you'll ever get from Wall

Street. You'll learn how you can consistently protect your portfolio

during bear markets and crush the returns of the S&P and NASDAQ during

bull markets.


Especially, you'll also learn...

How and why 34 stock markets outperformed the US last year, even

during the first US bull market in four years.

Why it's happening again this year, with over a dozen markets

obliterating the anemic returns on Wall Street...


How this is par for the course... and why the US market has ranked

among the top ten performing markets only once in the past ten

years... and never above the # 4 spot!


In short, you'll learn how to tap into the most explosive,

profit-charged investments in the world at all times - regardless of

what happens to interest rates in the US and stocks and bonds on Wall

Street.


It all begins by understanding the simple, true, proven secret of how to...


Buy a $100 Stock for $40, $20... Even $10 or Less!


Some of the most exciting and explosively profitable trades you can

make are when you can pick up a good business for a small fraction of

what it's truly worth. And the fact is, some of the best run, fastest

growing, and most severely undervalued companies in the world today

are not in the US, but in other countries!


Now, in case that sounds a bit "foreign" to you, let me tell you one

of the best parts...


The best of these companies have shares that trade in the US - just

like an American stock - but often with far greater profit potential.


In fact, every single one of the companies I've listed trade on the

NASDAQ or NY Stock Exchange.


But, again... let me caution you... do not buy these companies now!


Why? Because Wall Street is already in. They caught on after profits

started soaring and share prices started rising. Then they poured big

chunks of their multi-billion dollar portfolios into these companies -

pushing their prices even higher in the process.


And that's when the smartest traders get their money out and run....

then move onto the next opportunity. My readers like to sell high, in

other words, when the crowd comes rushing in... then go on and buy

cheap - what the crowd will be clamoring for tomorrow.


Let me show you how you can do the same...


They Call Us an Opportunist, a Profiteer...

We Say Thank You Very Much


We are THE NETWORK and we have been independently analyzing global

markets - for myself and on behalf of high-net-worth clients - for

over 15 years.


In any given year, we'll put in over 80,000 air miles... enough to

circle the globe three times and then some.


In all that time I've discovered a few useful things about global

stock markets... which ones tend to move in common... which move in

opposite directions... key factors that make markets soar... and the

conditions that cause them to crash...


But we've also learned one other very important thing...


Much of the game is rigged in the world's largest stock market, the US.


You've read the headlines. Leading brokerages taking what amounts to

bribes on their investment banking side to recommend junk stocks at

astronomical prices to trusting retail clients. Top so-called

"analysts" pulling down $20 million paydays and recommending you buy

stocks they privately called "dogs" and worse in private emails...


And if you think that's old news, think again...


The word "sell" is still a dirty word on Wall Street. A recent search

on Yahoo! shows only 127 out of 5,587 analyst-rated stocks average a

rating of "hold/sell" or "sell." A meager 2.3%. The rest were holds or

buys.


Yet corporate insiders aren't holding or buying. They're selling at a

record pace. According to The Wall Street Journal, they recently

dumped over $54 of stock for every dollar of stock they bought of

their own companies!


Something doesn't jibe here... Once again, Wall Street seems to be

getting ready to leave the individual investor holding the bag.

They're telling you to buy what they're dumping like it had fleas...


The "bait and switch," the cheerleading drivel called "analysis" and

the ongoing fraud on Wall Street get us so worked up we can feel our

hearts racing as we write to you. But we decided years ago that we

wouldn't let it get us mad anymore.


We decided I'd simply get even...


Wall Street Is an Elephant

(Here's Your Elephant Gun!)


If you want to make back all the profits you may have given back to

Wall Street in the last few years - then double that again - the

single best way you can do that is to beat Wall Street at its own

game.


Don't buy the big brokerage firms' biased analysis and dangerously

overvalued stocks. Learn how to sell it to them - after you've bought

them low, very low. Get 3 to 4 Times the Returns Most Investors Would

Kill For!


You wouldn't know it from the financial headlines but in the last 10

years, the US stock market placed among the ten best-performing

markets in the world only once! That was back in 1997, when it was #

4.


Even last year, when US stocks finally rallied (after losing big for

three straight years), the US market was outperformed by over 30 other

stock markets. That includes 18 developed markets and 11 markets that

more than doubled the US's total return!


Among the markets that trounced US stocks were...Tap into Explosive

Returns Abroad

Stock Market 2003 Total Return in US Dollars

Turkey 122%

Egypt 81%

Russia 70%

Greece 63%

Sweden 61%

Germany 60%

Israel 56%

Jordan 55%

Austria 54%

Spain 54%

Czech Republic 54%

USA 26.8%

Once again, in 2004, the US lags the world. As we round the midway

mark in 2004, US stocks are in the red while other stock markets are

already posting big returns...Overseas Markets Trounce US Stocks Again

in 2004

Stock Market YTD Return Annualized

Hungary 22.6% 54%

Egypt 17.0% 41%

Austria 12.6% 30%

Russia 11.7% 28%

Czech Republic 9.3% 22%

Israel 9.2 % 22%

US -1.7% -4%


All of these markets have select shares that trade in the US - many on

the NY Stock Exchange, enabling you to trade them as easily as you

would a US stock.


With Renegade Investor, you'll be able to tap into the best

opportunities in the most explosive global markets at all times,

protect yourself against US bear markets and rake in profits that can

make the best years of the S&P 500 look like pocket change!


See below, to find out how you can join THE NETWORK TODAY!


For instance, 2000 was a pivotal year for stocks as the US bull market

peaked then began to crash in the spring. A big part of the job of

major brokerage firms should be to protect investors from this kind of

market. After all, the writing was on the wall... the S&P was selling

at nearly three times its long-term P/E ratio and NASDAQ stocks that

had never earned a penny in their existence had billions of dollars in

market value. All this while interest rates had begun rising...


Yet a study by professors at various California universities found

that the top-rated picks of Wall Street analysts in 2000 resulted in

returns 31% percentage points below the market!


And the stocks Wall Street liked least? They posted returns 49% points

above the market!


A similar pattern repeated itself in 2001 and 2002, as Wall Street

continued to recommend expensive junk while US markets were tumbling.

But if you had someone to help you scour the entire world for the very

best values and trading opportunities, you could have made up to 75

times your money even as US markets fell.

That's how stocks like Flamel would have turned your $1,000 investment

in September of 2001 into $39,746 just 2 ½ years later...

It's how you could have turned a $5,000 stake in Nortel in October of

2002 into $60,341 in 16 months...


And it's how you could have multiplied a $10,000 investment in Netease

in December of 2001 into $750,156.00 only 26 months later!


We are citing these companies as just a few of the examples of the

kind of opportunities Wall Street is completely missing. And you don't

have to get in on the exact bottom and sell at the exact top to

multiply the value of your portfolio many times over.


Catch just a small portion of the stock's move and you can make heady

profits in an even shorter period of time. Like the 315% and 403%

profits in eight months on our recommendations of Telebras and the

Singapore... or 192% on International Uranium in six months... or

quick trades of 137%, 159% and 107% all in the same six-week period.


So how do you do it? Well, let's see what companies like Flamel,

Nortel and Netease have in common...


On the surface, these companies couldn't be more different. One is a

French biopharmaceutical company. Another is an Argentine telecom. The

other is a Chinese Internet firm!


But if you look closer, there are a few things they have in common...


They're all outside the US and unknown to most American investors - so

Wall Street tends to ignore them.

They are leaders in their respective industries.

All trade on US stock exchanges.

At the time they began their upward explosion in share prices, they

had fallen sharply from their previous highs... yet their businesses

were recovering rapidly.

As their shares doubled then doubled again, mutual funds and

investment banking firms began to pour in... causing even higher

prices... and providing a very profitable exit opportunity for savvy

individual traders who bought early.

And that's one of the great advantages you have over Wall Street. Wall

Street is like an elephant. The big brokerages and investment banks

carry a lot of weight, but they also move in a herd and they move

slowly. You, on the other hand, have agility and speed on your side.


With the right information, you can buy the markets today Wall Street

is going to buy tomorrow... then sell it to them at high prices... and

move on to your next opportunity.


This is what we've been doing for the last 15 years. It's helped us

and a few select clients make some market-crushing profits

consistently. It could do the same for you...


The World Is Your Oyster

Shuck the Clams and Pluck the Pearls


When you consider the entire world your marketplace, you have far more

opportunities than if you just buy US stocks. And when you focus on

deep-value situations to boot, you can make very healthy profits even

when the US market falls or trades sideways.


For instance, 1993 was a lackluster year for US stocks. From April

through December, the S&P 500 rose less than ½ of 1%. Yet, overseas,

the situation was entirely different.


We had been watching the economic reforms and infrastructure

development in SE Asia very closely. We were impressed by what we saw

and knew that the Wall Street elephants were slowly beginning to catch

on to the rapid growth in this region. So in April of THE NETWORK

recommended the Singapore Fund (SGF), traded on the NY Stock Exchange.


Eight months later, we advised readers to sell - for profits of 403%!


A similar situation presented itself two years later.


In December of 1994, the Mexican peso crashed and all Latin American

markets fell hard from "the Tequila Effect." By April of 1995, however

- we were confident the worst was over in the Latin American markets

and a few of them were severely undervalued. So we recommended

Brazil's largest Telecom company, Telebras, which also trades in the

US.


Eight months later, we advised readers to take profits - for 315%

gains this time!


And these situations are not unique. Thanks to constant traveling and

a network of investment contacts all over the world, we've been able

to help my readers make rapid-profits in the global marketplace

consistently over the years, including dozens of high double-digit and

triple digit winners in the last year alone.


Here are just a few of them...


International Uranium 192% and climbing since we recommended it six months ago

National Bank of Canada. 330% gains in 13 months

Fording Canadian Coal Trust, up 87% and climbing since we recommended

it 10 months ago

British Petroleum 118% gains in a year

Philips Electronics 109% in 16 months

Total Elf Aquataine 195% and climbing

Latin American Discovery Fund 103% in 13 months

First Ireland Investment Trust 93% in 5 months

Royal Dutch Petroleum ADR 90% in 13 months

Scudder New Europe Fund 87% in 18 months

Pan-American Silver, just closed it out for 115% gains in 9 months

Chicago Mercantile Exchange up 154% and counting in 13 months

North American Palladium just closed it out for 124% in 9 months

What's more, when markets get "schizophrenic" like they are today -

with pockets of deep value and the majority of stocks extremely

overvalued at the same time - you can make money on the long and short

side at the same time. And you can often double your money in a matter

of weeks, not months.


Make Money on Undervalued and

Overvalued Investments at the Same Time

For example, silver and gold stocks have posted excellent rallies

since 2001. And my subscribers were able to profit from this move,

with 61% gains on Oppenheimer Real Assets Fund, 31% on Harmony Mining,

and 115% on Pan American Silver, among others.


But, earlier this year, we liked gold and silver less because Wall

Street came to like it too much. The rally had been nearly straight

up, with barely a pause, and many precious metal stocks began to make

analysts' top buy lists. So by April of this year, we became convinced

that gold and silver were due for a correction.


On April 20th, we recommended put options on the XAU, an index for

gold and silver stocks. A put option gives you the right, but not the

obligation, to sell a security at a certain price by a certain date.

In this case, it meant we had the right to sell the XAU Index at $90

on or before September 17th, when the option would expire.


You could have put this trade on for as little as $590 - the price of

the put contract when I recommended it. Or you could have traded more

by buying more than one contract. Either way, your risk was strictly

limited to the cost of the puts ... yet your upside was virtually

unlimited.


Exactly 28 days after recommending the XAU puts, I told readers to

close the position for profits of 137%!


But that's not the whole story. At the same time we were going short

silver and gold, we were going long beef and oil. The result...


107% gains on Cattle Call Options in five weeks...


And 159% gains on Crude Oil Call Options in three weeks!


Here's another example of the same strategy:


By August of 2001, the NASDAQ had crashed over 60% from its high the

year before. The S&P 500, however, was only down about 20% from its

high and Wall Street analysts were saying it was now a good time to

get back into America's most widely held stocks - even though they

were still trading at more than 30 times earnings.


The Network didn't believe it for a second and told my readers to

short US stocks instead by buying the Prudent Bear Fund. One year

later, the S&P 500 had fallen another 24%...


But our subscribers were up 62% on Prudent Bear!


What's more, at the same time we recommending shorting US stocks with

the Prudent Bear Fund, we recommended going long on certain overseas

oil companies that were in strong financial shape and selling at low

valuations. Rule #1 for Making Massive Gains: You Have to Get There

Before the Crowd

There is a proven way to get rich in the stock market... and a proven

way not to get rich. Here are both in a nutshell...

Microsoft turned $10,000 invested into $6.5 million. But if you bought

it once it became a member of the S&P 500 or Dow, you'd be down 33% to

41%!

Home Depot turned $10,000 into $3.2 million. But if you bought it when

it joined the Dow or S&P - your returns would be negative 19% or

negative 25%.


SBC Communications multiplied $10,000 into $5.1 million. But since it

joined the S&P 500 it's down by 45%; since joining the Dow it's down

50%.


And Intel could have made you $2.5 million on a $10,000 investment.

Yet if you waited till it joined the Dow or S&P, you'd be down 25% to

30%.


Yes, the Dow and S&P 500 have good companies, even a few great

companies. But the vast majority do not sell at good prices anymore -

and they don't have the explosive potential they once had. Once a

company joins these clubs, its days of rapid growth are usually far

behind it...


When it becomes a part of the major indexes, mutual funds and pension

funds buy it, the financial press covers it on a daily basis, and Mom

and Pop Investor put it in their IRAs...


In other words, very soon, everyone is already in!


Here's the plain truth about America's most commonly followed stocks...

You will not find the most profitable investments in the world looking

where everyone else looks. The very definition of a ground-floor

investment is that everyone and his aunt haven't already bought it.

If you want to find the best profit opportunities in the world -

during bull and bear markets - you have to have a way to scour the

world for the best opportunities. That's how we've helped subscribers

to my other publications rake in gains of 403% and 315% in 8 months,

330% and 154% in 13 months, gains of 115%, 93%, 87%, 124% and 230% in

less than a year... and gains of 107%, 139% and 159% in a recent

5-week span!


To get off the Wall Street Roller Coaster - up and down, up and

down... only to end up back at the starting gate - try a no-risk trial

subscription to THE NETWORK. See below for details on our special

no-risk offer.

On July 31st of 2001, we recommended shares of Total, a French oil and

gas company traded on the NY Stock Exchange. Ten days, later, we

recommended ENI SPA, an Italian energy company, also traded on the

NYSE.


The result has been additional gains of 47% and 84% even while the S&P

still trades below its August, 2001 levels!


Like Having Your Own Super Profitable

(Yet Extremely Affordable)

Mini Hedge Fund


You may see a pattern here. I don't like to follow Wall Street's

advice. I prefer to buy what I think are the best values in the world

- no matter where they are. And sometimes I short the most overvalued,

hyped-up investments in the world - be they in the US or overseas.


What's more, I buy and sell stocks and funds. But I'll also use

options to make a quick buck, just as we did last month, with gains of

107%, 137% and 159% in 3 weeks, 4 weeks, and 5 weeks, respectively.


And that's just what the best hedge funds in the world do.


Hedge funds typically play both sides of the market - shorting the

weakest sectors and investments that are starting to fall apart... and

buying the most oversold sectors and investments that are packed with

value and poised to rise sharply. And hedge funds will also use

derivatives such as options to reduce risk and boost overall returns.


I know... It's not cookie-cutter "buy and hold" stuff. And that's

exactly the reason it can consistently help you grow your portfolio at

very high rates of return through bull and bear markets.


For instance, in the last five years, the S&P 500 has fallen 17%.

That's a whole lot of time to make absolutely nothing. By contrast,

the CSFB/Tremont Hedge Fund Index (tracking 433 hedge funds) is up 60%

in that time!


If you started out with a $100,000 portfolio, it would be the

difference between having an $83,000 portfolio today or a portfolio

worth $160,000. Just with the average hedge fund, in other words,

you'd have a $77,000 advantage over the typical investor who simply

followed Wall Streets' conventional advice.


And yet, the best hedge funds post even better returns.


For instance, Steinhardt partners posted 27% compounded annual returns

over a 20-year period. Your $10,000 investment would have turned into

$1.2 million in that time.


And the Quantum Fund - founded by the legendary George Soros and Jimmy

Rogers - returned an even more astounding 34% compounded average

annual returns over a 19-year period! A single $10,000 investment

would have ballooned to $2.6million!


" A single $10,000 investment in this elite hedge fund would have

ballooned to $2.6 million! Trouble is, you had to be a millionaire to

buy in. But I'll target the same kind of returns with just a $5,000

trading account."


The trouble is, most of these funds require minimum investments of

$250,000 or more. Many of the best, in fact, require minimum

investments of $1 million.


But you don't need a quarter-million dollars or more lying around to

get these kinds of returns. You can make the same kinds of

bear-market-resistant/bull-market-charged investments the best hedge

fund managers in the world do - for a minute fraction of the cost


Trade the Best Profit Opportunities in the World

Without Sending a Single Dollar Overseas


We've bought some very profitable hedge funds on behalf of our

high-net-worth clients over the years. And we've had the good fortune

to consult for some top-performing hedge funds, working closely with

their managers. This is part of the reason our approach when making

individual investments - and recommending investments to subscribers -

is also very much that of the top hedge fund managers.


We scour the world for the best profit opportunities - and that means

ignoring Wall Street's biased advice and focusing on the special

situations the crowd is overlooking. Then, we seek to limit risk and

maximize reward potential by going long deep value and going short

expensive, over-hyped junk. You Can Trade the Very Best Opportunities

in the World - Right Next Door or Thousands of Miles of Way - With

Just a Click of Your Mouse

American brokers tend to sell American stocks only. But can you

imagine if you only had American items in your house? You might not

have a telephone, TV, computer, carpet... some of your furniture would

be missing... your closets would be nearly empty.


The fact is, Americans buy hundreds of billions of dollars of goods

and services from overseas. But your stockbroker tends to sell you

only US stocks - even when they're dangerously expensive... even when

they're outright corporate frauds.


But what if you could consistently buy the best US stocks - and the

best global stocks - when they're selling at incredible discounts to

their earnings potential, book value and future share price? And then

sell the most overvalued, over-hyped investments as they're starting

to crash? And leverage your profits when the time is right with the

best limited-risk option plays?


You could create your own personal "mini-hedge fund," taking advantage

of the best trading opportunities in the world at all times - no

longer hostage to a bloated US stock market. This is the secret that

helped investors in Michael Steinhardt's hedge fund turn $10,000 into

$1.2 million in 20 years... and investors in George Soros's and Jimmy

Rogers's Quantum Fund turn $10 million into $2.3 million in 19 years.


Try a risk-free trial subscription to The Network, and you'll see how

we've helped investors just like you use this same technique this year

- using their own US brokerage accounts - pull in gains of 107%, 137%,

and 159% in a recent 5-week span... and gains of 230%, 93%, 87%, and

154% in the last 15 months - just to name a few - trouncing the

returns of US stocks!

If you're willing to look beyond US borders for your trades (without

ever having to send a single dollar overseas)... if you're open to the

idea that Wall Street's most popular recommendations are usually

over-hyped and overvalued... and if you would like a chance to make

the kind of profits I've shown you in this letter... then I'd like to

extend an invitation to you.


I'd like to invite you to try THE NETWORK subscription service - -

absolutely risk-free.


The number of subscribers has to be limited because part of my success

in global trading is that we buy what others are oblivious to... then

sell it to the Pinstriped investment banking nerds when they come

thundering in with their elephant-sized investment portfolios.


In other words, you'll get the full benefit of the same tools,

techniques and contacts we've been using for the last 15 years to post

market-crushing returns though bull and bear markets.


And we'll help you transform your trading portfolio into a virtual

profit-charged mini hedge fund - or your subscription will cost you

nothing.


With The Network, you'll receive timely recommendations on the most

undervalued opportunities in the world each and every week. And every

recommendation - be it a bank in Germany as their banking industry

deregulates, or an undervalued mobile telecom company in Asia as cell

phone usage soars - will be easily tradable in the US.


When the time is right, you'll also get recommended trades to profit

from the fall of the most hyped-up, overvalued investments as they

crash back down to earth. And we'll help you grab quick triple-digit

profits from limited-risk/unlimited-profit-potential option plays.


The cost of THE NETWORK is usually $2,500.00 a year but TODAY you can

purchase it for only $1,250.00 a year - 50% off the regular price

about 1/250th the minimum investment of many leading hedge funds. Or

you can opt to pay quarterly auto-renew installments of $325.00


If you're not thrilled with the profits you're making in the next 30

days... of if you're not satisfied with the service for any reason...

simply cancel your subscription and you'll receive an immediate refund

of every penny you paid. After that, your complete satisfaction is

still guaranteed. If you should cancel after 30 days for any reason

whatsoever, you'll receive a full refund for the unused portion of

your subscription.


But I suspect you may find the next 30 days to be the start of the

most profitable trading period of your life. That's because the global

opportunities that are available right now are some of the best I've

seen in the last 15 years...
