NEW YORK: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak yesterday outlined 10 compelling reasons why Malaysia is the right place to invest, saying that now is the time to do so as the economy was heading upwards.
Addressing US investors at ‘Invest Malaysia New York 2011’ forum at the New York Stock Exchange, the prime minister said the country had economic strength in its diversity, citing a multi-ethnic nation made up of Malays, Chinese and Indians.
“If we are continue to compete in the new global economy we must make the most of the talents of all our people and not just some of them…reaching out to Malays, Chinese and Indians alike and uniting in the spitit of 1Malaysia to enable each to play their part.
“For just as America’s great melting pot has always been a source of strength, I am equally clear that there is strength in Malaysia’s diversity,” he told the forum attended by 363 potential investors.
Secondly, Najib refered to the enterprising spirit driving the country and pointed out to the 10 captains of the most successful companies, including AirAsia, the world’s best low cost carier, who he had brought along on his mission to New York.
Axiata, he said, had over 150 million mobile subscribers serving the needs of over 1.5 billion people across 10 countries and Malayan Banking Bhd and CIMB Bhd, two of Asean’s top five banking groups, were also making waves in the region.
“They are just some of the many Malaysian companies that are raising the game in Asean and beyond,” he said of his third reason why American investors should come to Malaysia.
Najib also told the audience that Malaysia’s rich historical links with China, India and the Middle-East meant the country was able to engage with new and emerging centres of economic growth and simultaneously develop its ties with the West.
This, he said, was the reason why more than 5,000 companies from over 60 nations have set up base in Malaysia, adding that it’s home to more than 160 operational headquarters, 209 international procurement centres, 19 regional distribution centres and these numbers were set to grow.
“I don’t think there is any country which is very comfortable dealing with anyone.
“Invest in Malaysia, you’ll get the whole of Asia,” he said.
Fourthly, the prime minister said Malaysia would continue to liberalise key services besides the liberalisation of 27 service sub-sectors two years ago.
Najib said the services sector, excluding government services, would grow more than seven per cent annually until 2015, raising its contribution to Gross Domestic Product to 61 per cent.
Saying the days of ‘government knows best’ was over, he added that it was for this reason that he created the Government Transformation Programme or GTP.
“It’s aim is two fold – to make the government’s delivery of public services more effective and to move Malaysia forward to become an advanced, united and equitable society with high standards of living for all,” he said of his fifth reason.
Although it was not easy, Najib said the GTP was already producing real results, citing the new ‘My Procurement’ website which had radically increased the level of transparency in government leaders where details of successful bidders for the 3,500 government contracts were now listed online.
The prime minister said the sixth reason was that the Malaysian economy was undergoing a transformation and cited the 12 national key economic areas and 131 entry points projects (EPPs) identified to drive economic growth and development across various sectors.
In just six months, he said the government already launched 72 projects and initiatives across 54 separate EPPs, while total investment committed, so far, stood over US$35 billion and was expected to create almost 298,000 jobs over the next 10 years.
As for his seventh reason, Najib disclosed that a record number of foreign direct investments (FDI) flowed into Malaysia and this was evident from the US$10 billion worth of investments which were approved last year, an increase of almost 32 per cent.
The United States was the biggest foreign investor in Malaysia, he said, adding that the FDI growth pattern looked set to continue in 2011.
Najib’s eighth point touched on the increasing presence of foreign funds in Malaysia’s capital market, pointing to Bursa Malaysia’s sterling performance on Jan 7, 2011, when the key market barometer, FBM KLCI, hit 1,572.21 points, the highest level since 1998.
Najib cited the prediction made by Barclays Capital which said the upgrading of Malaysia’s capital market status from ‘secondary’ to ‘advanced emerging’, next month, would attract up to US$3 billion in new capital inflow and improve Malaysia’s place in international indices.
Elaborating further, Najib said investors should make the most of Asean, which was home to more than 600 million people, while Gross Domestic Product growth was expected to average six per cent, annually.
“If Asean were a single country, it will be worth US$2 trillion, and rank as the ninth largest economy in the world and third largest in Asia.
“I have given you nine compelling reasons why Malaysia is the right place to invest.
My tenth point is quite simple – now is your opportunity to get in on the ground floor,” said Najib.
Citing the great industrialist Henry Ford’s radical decision to pay his workers more and the many storms the company had weathered to become a automobile giant, Najib said he was determined to push through changes the country needs to drive its transformation.
“We are determined to develop and adapt and, when you invest in Malaysia’s transformation programme you will now get over US$440 billion in opportunities,” he said. — Bernama

Good investing in Tax Certificate in US
Dear Investors.
I just want to share these good investing plan with you. It would change you life for ever. The money make could help you pay for retirement, if you have one please post it here.
Dear reader,
If you put $2,000 into a savings account today, you'll be lucky to see 3.75% interest. And if you leave that money in the bank for 20 years and don't touch it... you'll have a whopping $4,176. But what you may not know is there’s a group of unique investments that pay as much as 50%, with very little risk.Assuming you reinvest your money each year, your retirement plan could look a whole lot different... In fact, at the end of 20 years, your $2,000 could be worth more than $30,000 - 17 times what you would make at your local bank. Even better, these investments carry very little risk. "Nothing is risk-free, but this is as close as it gets," says one former law professor who has been investing this way for years.If this sounds like something that may interest you, I urge you to read the report below. Good investing,George RayburnPublisher

"How I'll make 1,000% paying your neighbor's taxes"
Thanks to obscure tax statute #197.542, some savvy Americans are netting $46,774 to $500,000, simply by paying their neighbor's tax bill.
I tried it recently... and I conservatively estimate I'll make 10 times what I paid... "Nothing is risk-free, but this is as close as it gets"
~ Prof. Larry Loftis Attorney at Law, Author
Dear reader,
When I first heard about this investment strategy,
I thought it sounded like something out of a late night infomercial...
But after a yearlong investigation – and having put it to the test with my own money –
I can assure you this opportunity is 100% legit.
In short, the government has created a group of unique investments that could help you make up to 1,000% or more – just by paying your neighbor's tax bill.
Don't worry, it's a lot easier and simpler than it sounds... You don't have to be good with numbers. And the government provides the necessary paperwork (which is nominal), and manages almost all the logistical details.
Fact is, this opportunity can be so safe and profitable, I've actually sold my speculative stocks and instead, have been focusing on paying a few people's taxes... and locking in incredible gains. (I just got a check for $2,257 in January.)
Of course, at first glance, footing the bill for someone else's taxes doesn't sound like a smart way to get rich. But that's exactly what some in-the-know Americans are doing...
For example, when Barry Craddock, a retiree from Iowa, paid his neighbor's taxes, he made hundreds of percent on his investment.
"I have been doing this for about 10 years. My rate of return is off the charts," he told us.
Brian Kerry from Denver, Colorado, did even better... He paid a fellow Denver resident's tax bill of $8,500... and made a 1,841% return.
Another time he paid $3,500 in taxes for someone he'd never even met... and saw a 3,328% gain... Those two investments alone turned Brian's $12,000 stake into $285,000.
"Would I do it again? Every day of the week and twice on Sunday," he says. What's great is that these unique investments carry very little risk for you, because they are created and administered by the government.
"The low risk is what we really like about it," says Joel Crewman,
who's been making a fortune by paying other people's taxes for the past 6 years.
"It's nearly a risk free investment and it pays far better than a CD or leaving the money in the bank," reports Rodney Gerber, a realtor from Boulder, Colorado.
Of course, that raises the question:
if this opportunity is so good,
why haven't you heard of it before?
Well, because of its incredible profit potential,
this group of investments is one of the most jealously guarded secrets in the world of finance...
"Bankers, attorneys, wealthy families and [other] insiders have kept this 'wealth secret' to themselves for years," explains The Philadelphia Tribune.
That's why less than 1% of the population knows about these government-created investments, reports Don Sausa, author of Investing Without Losing.
In short, given the uncertain stock and bond markets today, there are very few investments that have a legitimate shot at returning 1,000% or more – without big risks. This is one of them.
And here's the full story...
$46,774 for 12 hours of "work"My investigation into these unique investments started about a year ago... Since then, I've traveled thousands of miles across three states...
met with several government officials, including two Tax Commissioners in Georgia...
and spent hours talking to regular Americans who've made a killing...
simply by paying their neighbors' taxes.
For instance, I learned about two brothers from Orlando, Florida, who used this investment to make $1 million in 2 years.
Just listen to their story... For years, Mark Muller worked as a commercial realtor.
His younger brother James was a struggling musician.
The Muller brothers certainly weren't destitute, but after sharing household expenses,
they had little or no money left at the end of the month.
A comfortable retirement was a distant pipe dream.
But in early 2003, Mark stumbled across a moneymaking secret that would transform their financial future...
In short, while working on a deal with a Florida state zoning official,
Mark discovered an obscure statute that details an incredible way to make money...
by paying other people's taxes.
As crazy as it sounds...
the very first time they gave it a try,
Mark and James say they paid a fellow Orlando resident's tax bill –
and made $46,774 on the deal, with just 12 hours of "work".
That's more than the average American makes in an entire year!
According to Mark and James, a few months later, they paid someone's tax bill of $5,800, and got back $36,000 – a gain of 500%.
Another time, they saw a 967% return on their initial investment.
"You can execute one well planned... deal per year and provide yourself with ample extra money to do all the things you want," says James.
In total, Mark and James Muller say they've made over $1 million in 2 years... simply by paying other people's taxes.
Of course, the question is, could this investment work as well for you, right now? Well, if you're looking for "hands-free" investing, something you can simply order through your broker and be done with in a matter of minutes, you should probably set this letter aside.
There is definitely some legwork required.
Of course, that's why the opportunity is so huge. Very few people understand how these investments work... and even fewer are willing to take the simple steps to "cash in."
In short, if you are concerned about the security of your retirement... and tired of lackluster stock market returns... then these investments could be perfect for you.
It's working out great for me, and I plan to invest a significant amount of money in these amazing vehicles this year.
Here's how it works...
Make as much as 50% – 1,000%by paying your neighbor's taxes
The federal government is notorious for wasting our tax dollars... like when they commissioned a $20 million design makeover for the penny, during the worst recession in history...
But at the local level, taxes pay for practical things that none of us, rich or poor, can do without... like garbage disposal, fire stations, police officers and ambulances. That's why the collection of property taxes is the #1 priority in every county in the United States. Nevertheless, every year, some people simply don't pay up:
One guy we heard about received an empty lot as part of a divorce settlement, but he couldn't be bothered paying the taxes for it...
Another guy moved, and did not notify the county of his address change. He didn't receive his tax bill, and forgot to pay it...
And in states like Florida, where I live, most overdue taxes are owed by hotshot developers who were left holding large tracts of undeveloped land when the bubble burst... Of course, the county does everything it can to get landowners to pay up...
"We try to give people every chance possible to pay when they're behind," says Carla Munoz, a Tax Commissioner I spoke with recently. "We send tons of notices, and we let them stretch things out."
But if the owner continues to avoid paying his taxes, the county eventually issues what is known as a Tax Certificate, which you can buy much like any other investment.
Think of it like this...When you buy a Tax Certificate, you are essentially loaning someone the money he needs to settle his tax bill right away.
In return, he must repay the loan – with interest – in a specified period of time, typically 12–24 months.
Here's just a small sampling of the interest rates per state:
Alabama 12%
Arizona 16%
Connecticut 18%
Colorado 15%
D.C. 18%
Florida 5%-18%
Hawaii 12%
Iowa 24%
Kentucky 12%
Louisiana 12%
Maryland 6-24%
Massachusetts 16%
Mississippi 18%
Missouri 10%
Montana 10%
Nebraska 14%
New Jersey 18%
North Dakota 12%
Ohio 18%
Oklahoma 8%
Pennsylvania 10%
South Carolina 8-12%
South Dakota 12%
Tennessee 10%
Vermont 12%
West Virginia 12%
Wyoming 15%
It's a win-win situation for everyone:
** The county gets the unpaid taxes immediately...
** The owner gets extra time to catch up on his taxes...
** And you get a low risk, high return investment...
just for helping out...
Keep in mind, as with any investment, this is not a risk-free opportunity.
Nothing is 100% guaranteed. But what's great is that the county serves as the "middleman,"
so you don't have to deal with the landowner directly.
And as soon as the taxes are paid, the county immediately cuts you a check for your principal, plus the agreed-upon interest. Take a look at the table to the right for a sampling of the incredible interest rates you could get paid.
You're unlikely to find rates this generous at your bank!
Tax Certificates typically offer a safe return of between 10% and 24%, as described by each state's law.
(And I'll explain in a minute how you could juice your returns as much as 1,000%,
like I'm in the process of doing right now.)
In short, "The benefits are phenomenal, especially when compared to other traditional investments like the stock market," says Prof. Larry Loftis, who manages a $12 million Tax Certificate portfolio.
Here's why Tax Certificates might be the perfect investment for you...
4 reasons why Tax Certificates could bethe best investment you make in 2010
Reason #1:
Tax Certificates are simple Now...
when I say simple,
I don't mean there's no legwork involved.
There is. But unlike many traditional investments like stocks, bonds and options, Tax Certificates require no investing experience.
You don't have to decipher complicated financial documents... deal with a broker... or understand the difference between put- and call options.
Instead, the local government not only walks you through the simple process of buying Tax Certificates, but they also take care of many of the administrative details,
so you don't have to... Edgar Frost from New Jersey says:
"I have purchased many of these investments. The great thing for me was that you could do this from the comfort of your computer.
It was actually very easy." Joel Crewman told us: "This is how I've been investing my rainy day fund for the last 6 years.
My wife and I basically spend one day out of the year [doing this].
" And Jeremy Williams, an electrical engineer working in Singapore, made 33% on a Tax Certificate he bought via the Internet. "
It can be done, remotely, across states and across the globe," he says. But there's another reason why I'm so excited about Tax Certificates...
Reason #2:
Tax Certificates are safe
Tax Certificates "are almost guaranteed to return 18% or more on your investment."
~ KiplingersTax Certificates are similar to a bond or other fixed-income vehicle...
You lend money on the condition that you get it back – plus interest – within a specified term.
But bonds are incredibly risky.
The corporate bond default rate could be as high as 23% in 2010...
the highest level since 1981, reports Standard and Poor's.
With Tax Certificates, on the other hand, your interest rate is fixed... and your check is written by the government.
As retiree Bud Delaney of Colorado told us:
"I [paid] the taxes owed and after the redemption period,
I got a check from the county for my money plus interest.
This is a very lucrative way to make money.
" Fact is, they are "almost guaranteed to return 18% or more on your investment," reports Kiplinger's. This brings me to the third reason for investing in Tax Certificates...
Reason #3:
Tax Certificates provide a stream of income In addition to being a simple, safe investment,
Tax Certificates could supply you with all the extra money you need...
"At times, checks were arriving every day!"
~ Fred Gibson,Bethesda, MD For instance,
one fellow I read about, Fred Gibson of Bethesda, Maryland, invested in Tax Certificates purely for the income they generate:
"At times, checks were arriving every day! A while back I received a check for $10,343," he says. James Sowell has been buying Certificates since 1992.
As of October 2009, he owned 794 Tax Certificates.
Every few weeks he gets a check in the mail, reports Florida's News Herald.
And Roger Hulbert told us the story of his father, who started their family plumbing business in 1970.
A few years later, he began investing in Tax Certificates as part of a loyalty program, sharing the income with his employees.
"The returns averaged 17% for over a decade." Compounded, that's enough to turn a $5,000 stake into $24,034.
"Some of his employees left with handsome profits from this simple investment. It was wildly successful," Roger told us.
But this opportunity gets even better...
Reason #4: Tax Certificates could earn you 1,000% or more
Turn $2,000 into $30,000...
If you invest $2,000 in a bank account, you'll be lucky to see 3.75% interest.
If you leave that money in the bank for 20 years and don't touch it...
you'll have a whopping $4,176. But if you invest in an Arizona Tax Certificate, for example, and each time the government pays you, you reinvest the funds in new Certificates, your retirement plan could look a whole lot different... Arizona pays Certificate holders 16% interest.
At the end of 20 years, your $2,000 could be worth more than $30,000.
And that's if you never invest another dime!
That's 17 times what you would make at your local bank.
Isn't it time you took advantage of Tax Certificates?
As I hinted earlier, some Tax Certificates have the potential to make you much more than the already high interest rates that state laws permit...
With a bit of extra legwork, you could juice your total returns even more, making incredible gains of 500%... 983%... even 1,000% or more...
In fact, under certain circumstances, your Tax Certificate investment "may be worth 10 to 20 times what you invested," says industry expert, Bill Carey, who's been investing this way for the past 20 years.
For instance, retiree Joseph Hairston invested a total of $15,000 in a Tax Certificate-based opportunity that he now estimates to be worth $150,000 to $200,000, reports The Washington Post.
And one couple we heard of paid $255 for a Tax Certificate.
Rod and Emily Banks say they got back an incredible $94,745 in profit – a 37,054% return on their investment.
"My wife and I have been secretly buying and selling Tax Certificates for years, and have made a fat fortune!" says Rod.
Now, I can't promise that you'll make a 37,054% with these kinds of investments.
In fact, it's unlikely you'll ever make that much on a single Tax Certificate.
Please be realistic about your potential gains. But what I can promise you is that there are some extraordinary deals out there right now.
For example... I recently bought a few with my own money...
"You can flat get rich! Imagine what achieving 'millionaire status'... in three years would do for your financial peace of mind."
~ The Philadelphia Tribune
In fact, I bought three Tax Certificates in November 2009...
and I've just received my first interest check of $2,257.
And I bought one just a few months ago,
on which I conservatively estimate I'll make about 1,000% over the next five years.
Crazy, isn't it? But before I go any further,
I want to make one important point clear:
There has never been a better time to invest in Tax Certificates.
Let me explain...
Get in... before this secret gets out My name is Dr. Steve Sjuggerud...
and I've been working in the investment world for 15 years.
I started out going the traditional route. I got an MBA, a PhD in Finance...
and learned the ropes as a stockbroker, mutual fund manager, and eventually as a hedge fund manager.
But frankly, even though I was making good money, as time passed,
I grew progressively more uncomfortable with the way Wall Street does business.
That's why I left to write my own independent research advisory, called True Wealth.
I've learned a lot in the last 15 years, but the single most important lesson was this:
Timing is everything.
Here's what people are saying about Tax Certificates...
Jacky Wing, San Antonio, TX:
"I have done very well thru this mode of investing.
I started about 45 yrs ago. Quite safe and profitable." Tom Carridene, Phoenix, AZ:
"[Tax Certificates] are unique investments unknown to most investors, and I am glad that Steve thinks out of the box to recommend alternative investments.
" Edgar Frost, Portland, OR:"The great thing for me was that you could do this from the comfort of your computer." Joel Crewman, Springfield, MO:
"This is how I have been investing my rainy day fund for the last 6 years.
My wife and I basically spend 1 day out of the year [doing this]"
Jacob Cook, Towson, MD:
"I paid less than $500 for both [Tax Certificates].
On the one, I got my 10% back within a couple of months,
a good return on my money.
I sold the other for a net of $2,000.
" That's a 700% gain! For instance, back in March 2009 when the market looked like it was in freefall, I urged True Wealth readers to buy stocks BEFORE the markets corrected, predicting specifically: "Stocks could rise 50% in the next 18 months." Turns out, I was wrong. Instead of taking 18 months... we saw stocks rise almost 50% in just 12 months. Nearly everything in the True Wealth portfolio showed significant gains.
But here's the thing...
I believe the time to make easy money in stocks is over...
at least for now.
Stocks have gone up so much, so fast, that we need to look elsewhere for the easy money... And that's where Tax Certificates come in...
You see, right now, the interest rates attached to Tax Certificates are skyrocketing. According to Dale Summerford, Florida's Gadsden County tax collector, that's because until recently, banks were the major buyers of these investments, pushing out individual investors.
But when the credit crisis hit, banks began to hoard their cash... and stopped buying most investments, including Tax Certificates.
As a result, there are literally thousands of Tax Certificates available to individual investors.
But few people even know they exist... and many of those who do, aren't willing to do the necessary legwork. For us, that means more inventory... less competition... and higher potential payouts.
In short, I've spent many years researching "alternative" investments. This is one of the easiest I've found to date... and the timing couldn't be better. Keep in mind, Tax Certificates are available in every state in some form, but the details vary. Of course, as with any investment, there are risks. But I believe, if you follow a few simple steps and secrets I've uncovered, investing in Tax Certificates is the safest and most lucrative thing you can do with your money today... better than gold... better than silver... and certainly a heck of a lot better than stocks and bonds. In my new research report, Tax Certificates: How to Make 1,000% Paying Your Neighbors' Taxes, I'll explain exactly how Tax Certificates work... which ones to buy... which to avoid... and everything else you need to know to get started. This report is among the first things to which you'll get free access, if you accept my invitation to take a no-risk trial look at my research service, True Wealth... Here's how it works...
"You don't have to take big risks to make big gains"Based in the historic Mount Vernon district of Baltimore, Stansberry & Associates Investment Research was founded in 1999. Today, individuals in 200 countries read our independent financial research and recommendations. Unlike Wall Street investment banks, we have no ties to the companies we cover. We don't give individual advice, and we don't provide brokerage services. Our only source of income is from subscribers who pay for our work. It's competition at its finest. If we don't produce great research and great results, our readers will take their business elsewhere.
Most importantly, we go to great lengths to make sure our business is transparent. That's why we don't allow our analysts to own the stocks they recommend. And that's why we publish an annual report card, reviewing the results of our recommendations. We believe this is how the investment industry should work. No hidden interests or secret agendas. Over the past few years, we have discovered some unique and very profitable investment opportunities for our subscribers. For example:
We uncovered a corporate bond that several of the big investment firms scoffed at. We're having the last laugh, as it is currently returning an incredible 196% during the worst recession in history...
In July 2009, we told readers about a tiny Chinese company (listed on the New York Stock Exchange) that had just signed a secret partnership deal with the Chinese government, giving them the right to mine one of China's largest goldmines. The stock is up 327%, while the price of gold is up "only" 20%...
We found a little-known way for regular investors to buy Hawaiian and Florida real estate – without ever leaving home – for the equivalent of about $150 an acre.
So far, readers who took our recommendation have had the opportunity to make gains of about 98%...
But probably our biggest and most important discovery of the past few years is what I've been sharing with you here:
How to make 10% to 1,095% or more investing in Tax Certificates, without big risks.
It's exactly the type of investment that I focus on in True Wealth.
Unique, simple, and extremely safe ways to help you pay for retirement...
My motto is simple:
You don't have to take big risks to make big gains. You see, what I've found over the years is that most investors fall into one of two camps... First, there are those people who feel they're unqualified to handle their own money, so they leave it up to self-serving brokers to manage. I know from my experience on Wall Street, the highest commissions are paid on products that are complex and risky. These investments make brokers rich... but are often not in your best interests. Second, there are those people who manage their own money, and simply take on way too much risk by chasing the next hot stock. Thing is, there is absolutely no reason to do so. All most folk need is someone with a steady hand and a solid track record of finding lucrative "alternative" investments that carry little risk. That's exactly what True Wealth is about. Believe me, this is not your typical stock tout sheet... not by a long shot. Instead, I spend most of my time researching and traveling all over the country, investigating opportunities you won't likely hear of elsewhere. Like this one... another opportunity brought to you courtesy of the U.S. government...
Get Social Security... no matter what your ageThe laws governing Social Security benefits are every bit as complex and confusing as the IRS tax code... So don't be surprised if you, like most Americans, haven't heard about the secrets that could increase your lifetime Social Security benefit by as much as $100,000 or more...
"It may take a little effort... but if one of these scenarios applies to you, you could... boost your Social Security benefits by up to $1,000 per month."
~ Kiplinger's ** For instance, there is a simple instruction you can write on 'Line R' of your application that could qualify you for an extra $12,000 EVERY year: Timothy and Marilyn Westcott of Minneapolis used this Social Security secret to add nearly $700 a month to their benefits. As Mr. Westcott said in a recent interview: "I never dreamed that I could draw [this] benefit. I submitted my application, and within 10 days I had received a check for $2,760 retroactive to February 2008." ** Or consider the secret of Form '521-B'... Jim Roth is a retired hardware store owner who took advantage of this "loophole," which enables him and his wife to collect an extra $1,033 per month... every year for the rest of their lives. As Roth told us in an interview, "It's like free money." ** And if you have a family, use Form '3881-25'... David McManus is a teacher from Mobile, AL. By taking advantage of this secret, he was able to collect a little-known family benefit. As Mr. Marcus says: "I went to the Social Security Office and was told... [I] was entitled to $1,068 per month."
In short, as Kiplinger's Personal Finance reports: "It may take a little effort... but if one of these scenarios applies to you, you could... boost your Social Security benefits by up to $1,000 per month." I've written a detailed research report called: How to Add $1,100 to Your Social Security Payments Each Month. The report also includes full details on:
How to collect social security at ANY age. I realize this may sound impossible, but there are millions of people in America collecting Social Security who aren't yet retired...
And how to slash – or even eliminate altogether – the taxes you pay on Social Security. A Wharton School of Business study showed exactly how this is possible. Yes, it is true... you can legally receive, TAX-FREE, as much as $89,000 a year from Social Security. (Please note: This secret does not eliminate taxes on your other retirement income, just social security.) Do yourself a favor, and if you meet the necessary requirements, please take advantage of these secrets as soon as possible. After all, collecting Social Security is a right you earned through your labor... and I can just about guarantee you will NOT hear about ways to boost your monthly payments anywhere else. If you would like, I can make sure you get a copy of my research report, which explains the entire situation. It's called: How to Add $1,100 to Your Social Security Payments Each Month. Again, you will receive this research free of charge when you try a subscription to True Wealth. Is my work right for you? Well, you'll have to make that decision yourself... but there are a few things you should consider before giving it a try...
Please read this first... As I mentioned earlier, I started out in the financial world as a stock broker, working my way up to become Vice President of an international mutual fund... then managed a hedge fund, and later headed up an independent research firm. But about 9 years ago, I quit and left all of that behind, to start True Wealth, an investment research service that has become one of the most successful advisory newsletters in America. Frankly, I'm not comfortable patting myself on the back, so I'll keep my list of "achievements" short: I've found more than 60 safe investment recommendations that have gained double-digits or more. Right now (March 2010) the open portfolio for True Wealth is up an average 28%. And since 2002, my True Wealth picks have outperformed the S&P 500 by 22 percentage points.
For instance, back in 2003, when everyone was touting all kinds of risky stocks, I recommended that my readers buy a unique gold investment that has a history of paying MORE than gold bullion... and as much as gold stocks... with just a fraction of the risk. True Wealth subscriber Tony Scott took advantage of this opportunity recently and told us: "My initial purchases have doubled. These purchases have outperformed anything else in my portfolio."
I also found another safe, lucrative way to invest in, of all things, timberland. Historically, this has been one of the safest and best investments you could ever make. True Wealth readers have had the chance to make as much as 64% in capital gains...
And did you know there's an extremely unique bond investment available today that has a history of being safer and more profitable than the stock market? It helped my readers make a safe 50%... during a time when stocks took a loss of more than 10%. And remember, my #1 objective is to help you make large gains – without taking big risks – on investments you are very unlikely to hear about anywhere else. For example: When this Gold Signal Flashes, You Make 100% in a Year:The last four times this indicator said "buy," you could have made 100% gains within a year. Now, it's flashing "buy" again. To collect triple-digit gains within a year, you normally need to use options or some other complicated strategy. But that's not what I'm recommending at all. You just buy a safe, simple fund through your regular brokerage account. This setup has happened four times in the last nine years. And each time, it led to triple-digit gains within 12 months. I'll explain this simple indicator and exactly how to take advantage of it, as soon as you try True Wealth. The Sky is the Limit for This Currency Play:Most investors think the dollar will crash under the weight of the wild government spending and money-printing bailouts. But one of the biggest lessons I've learnt in my career is: Don't follow the herd. That's one of many reasons why I'm recommending an entirely different play on currencies. I believe you could make as much as 50% in the next few months. This type of opportunity doesn't come along very often. And there's an extremely simple way to take advantage of the situation. I'll tell you everything you need to know as soon as you become a True Wealth subscriber. Again, you DON'T have to take big risks to make big gains. These investments are great buys as I write... and you can take advantage of them immediately. I promise, you'll sleep better at night knowing you've got your money in a low-risk investment... with the potential for very big gains. In short, if you are looking for investment alternatives in this very risky and extremely volatile market, I recommend you take a look at my work. Of course, I can't tell you for sure whether or not it will be right for you, but here's what some readers have told us recently... Clyde Lafond, 68, from Burbank, CA, wrote recently to tell us:
"I have been following Dr. Sjuggerud's investments for several years. Only wish I had known him early in my life. My $600,000.00 is now worth well over a $1,000,000.00. I think that I am almost ready to retire."** R. C. Beck, 80, who's a retired cardiac surgeon told us:
"I have been reading Dr. Sjuggerud's reports for over five years. I took my wife's portfolio from her advisor and quadrupled it."** Raymond Martin, 53, a former news producer at CBS told us:
"Dr. Sjuggerud is, by far, the best at what he does...make me money! I have a 7-figure portfolio with many years of investing acumen. I'm up over 100K on his recommendations (in less than a year). No one else comes close."It's funny... you know we've even had a lot of people in the financial industry subscribe to my service, to find ideas for their clients. For example... Subscriber Gary Munson, who's a Certified Financial Planner and a Senior VP at one of the world's biggest investment firms, told us:
"After being in the investment business for almost 24 years, I feel I'm fairly qualified to evaluate investment recommendations as I am a financial advisor and portfolio manager. Steve's recommendations and the way he thinks are absolutely top-notch. "His newsletter recommendations have become a major arrow in my quiver that I am able to utilize in my own clients' accounts. I read a lot of newsletters and other literature constantly looking for investment ideas, and Steve's True Wealth ranks at the very top." Subscriber Brian Rose, a full-time equity trader from San Francisco, wrote to say:
"I KNOW I will have much more money for retirement because of Dr. Sjuggerud's True Wealth. It is comforting to know that Steve has no agenda other than to make me money." Andrew Lawson from Charleston, SC, said:
"I was a stockbroker for 19 years. I trained with the 4th largest NYSE member firm at that time. I learned more from Dr. Sjuggerud in the last 8 months about the wide universe of investments than I learned in 19 years as a broker... "Steve's recommendations are conservative, they make sense, and they regularly make large profits - much more than one would expect from safe investments." Of course, I can only tell you so much. You've got to try my work for yourself before you can decide whether or not it's right for you. So here's what I propose...
What to do withyour money nowI'd like to give you a free copy of the two Research Reports I've described in this letter: Research Report #1: Tax Certificates: How to make 1,000% paying your neighbors' taxes Research Report #2: How to Add $1,100 to Your Social Security Payments Each Month.

In short, I believe True Wealth is the ideal research service for anyone who wants the opportunity to make great gains... without taking big risks. Of course, you'll have to make a decision for yourself. So how much does it cost and how can you get started? Well, before I give you the full details, there's one more thing I'd like to make you aware of... It's an extraordinary situation I uncovered recently...
"Guaranteed Retirement Contracts" Pay for LifeMore than 100 U.S. companies now offer this alternative to stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Your payouts are guaranteed not to drop in value, and will be delivered EVERY SINGLE MONTH for the rest of your life. It's what Barron's calls, "The new way to retire." I'm talking about one of the most mysterious, misunderstood, and well-kept secrets of the rich... something we call the "Guaranteed Retirement Contract." This is an investment. But it's almost certainly unlike any investment you've considered before. For one, the money you receive as a result is guaranteed by a company that (unlike almost any other business in America) is required to have enough cash on hand to meet all future obligations. Your money is also guaranteed (typically up to $100,000) by a "Guaranty Fund" regulated by the government. Another thing that makes this investment unique is that the monthly payouts you receive can go up in value... but never down... even if stocks, bonds, and real estate stay in a bear market for another 20 years. And it gets even better... Unlike any other investment I know of, the money you receive from a "Retirement Contract" will be sent to you for the rest of your life, and can even be passed on to your heirs. As John Olsen, who runs Olsen Financial Group in St. Louis told Time Magazine: "If you want the absolute assurance of income for life, there is no alternative." Incredibly, there are other perks and advantages too.... Unlike ordinary stocks and mutual funds, there's no guessing about how much you'll have or when you'll get paid. You can set up and secure your financial future in just 10 minutes – and know exactly when and how much you'll be collecting for the rest of your life. You'll never again have to worry about when to buy... or when to sell. And you'll even know the exact day your monthly payouts will be delivered (it's required by law). As "Retirement Contract" beneficiary Paul Jordan, who's 56 years old and receives $2,376 per month, recently said: "It's automatically deposited in my checking account each month, which is convenient." Now you can see why Money Magazine says these contracts, "will become the retirement investing rage." And why the journal of Financial Planning says, "they could be a magic bullet." Keep in mind: "Guaranteed Retirement Contracts" are not right for everyone. And you must meet several requirements before you can begin collecting these guaranteed payouts. The good news is, most Americans near retirement age do qualify, and it will take you no more than 10 minutes to complete the necessary forms. I've written a detailed Special Report called "Guaranteed Retirement Contracts: The Only Investment With Zero Downside and Unlimited Upside"... and I'd like you to have it – free – when you subscribe to my True Wealth investment letter. True Wealth, by the way, costs only $99 for an entire year.

Dear reader,
If you put $2,000 into a savings account today, you'll be lucky to see 3.75% interest. And if you leave that money in the bank for 20 years and don't touch it... you'll have a whopping $4,176. But what you may not know is there’s a group of unique investments that pay as much as 50%, with very little risk.Assuming you reinvest your money each year, your retirement plan could look a whole lot different... In fact, at the end of 20 years, your $2,000 could be worth more than $30,000 - 17 times what you would make at your local bank. Even better, these investments carry very little risk. "Nothing is risk-free, but this is as close as it gets," says one former law professor who has been investing this way for years.If this sounds like something that may interest you, I urge you to read the report below. Good investing,George RayburnPublisher

"How I'll make 1,000% paying your neighbor's taxes"
Thanks to obscure tax statute #197.542, some savvy Americans are netting $46,774 to $500,000, simply by paying their neighbor's tax bill.
I tried it recently... and I conservatively estimate I'll make 10 times what I paid... "Nothing is risk-free, but this is as close as it gets"
~ Prof. Larry Loftis Attorney at Law, Author
Dear reader,
When I first heard about this investment strategy,
I thought it sounded like something out of a late night infomercial...
But after a yearlong investigation – and having put it to the test with my own money –
I can assure you this opportunity is 100% legit.
In short, the government has created a group of unique investments that could help you make up to 1,000% or more – just by paying your neighbor's tax bill.
Don't worry, it's a lot easier and simpler than it sounds... You don't have to be good with numbers. And the government provides the necessary paperwork (which is nominal), and manages almost all the logistical details.
Fact is, this opportunity can be so safe and profitable, I've actually sold my speculative stocks and instead, have been focusing on paying a few people's taxes... and locking in incredible gains. (I just got a check for $2,257 in January.)
Of course, at first glance, footing the bill for someone else's taxes doesn't sound like a smart way to get rich. But that's exactly what some in-the-know Americans are doing...
For example, when Barry Craddock, a retiree from Iowa, paid his neighbor's taxes, he made hundreds of percent on his investment.
"I have been doing this for about 10 years. My rate of return is off the charts," he told us.
Brian Kerry from Denver, Colorado, did even better... He paid a fellow Denver resident's tax bill of $8,500... and made a 1,841% return.
Another time he paid $3,500 in taxes for someone he'd never even met... and saw a 3,328% gain... Those two investments alone turned Brian's $12,000 stake into $285,000.
"Would I do it again? Every day of the week and twice on Sunday," he says. What's great is that these unique investments carry very little risk for you, because they are created and administered by the government.
"The low risk is what we really like about it," says Joel Crewman,
who's been making a fortune by paying other people's taxes for the past 6 years.
"It's nearly a risk free investment and it pays far better than a CD or leaving the money in the bank," reports Rodney Gerber, a realtor from Boulder, Colorado.
Of course, that raises the question:
if this opportunity is so good,
why haven't you heard of it before?
Well, because of its incredible profit potential,
this group of investments is one of the most jealously guarded secrets in the world of finance...
"Bankers, attorneys, wealthy families and [other] insiders have kept this 'wealth secret' to themselves for years," explains The Philadelphia Tribune.
That's why less than 1% of the population knows about these government-created investments, reports Don Sausa, author of Investing Without Losing.
In short, given the uncertain stock and bond markets today, there are very few investments that have a legitimate shot at returning 1,000% or more – without big risks. This is one of them.
And here's the full story...
$46,774 for 12 hours of "work"My investigation into these unique investments started about a year ago... Since then, I've traveled thousands of miles across three states...
met with several government officials, including two Tax Commissioners in Georgia...
and spent hours talking to regular Americans who've made a killing...
simply by paying their neighbors' taxes.
For instance, I learned about two brothers from Orlando, Florida, who used this investment to make $1 million in 2 years.
Just listen to their story... For years, Mark Muller worked as a commercial realtor.
His younger brother James was a struggling musician.
The Muller brothers certainly weren't destitute, but after sharing household expenses,
they had little or no money left at the end of the month.
A comfortable retirement was a distant pipe dream.
But in early 2003, Mark stumbled across a moneymaking secret that would transform their financial future...
In short, while working on a deal with a Florida state zoning official,
Mark discovered an obscure statute that details an incredible way to make money...
by paying other people's taxes.
As crazy as it sounds...
the very first time they gave it a try,
Mark and James say they paid a fellow Orlando resident's tax bill –
and made $46,774 on the deal, with just 12 hours of "work".
That's more than the average American makes in an entire year!
According to Mark and James, a few months later, they paid someone's tax bill of $5,800, and got back $36,000 – a gain of 500%.
Another time, they saw a 967% return on their initial investment.
"You can execute one well planned... deal per year and provide yourself with ample extra money to do all the things you want," says James.
In total, Mark and James Muller say they've made over $1 million in 2 years... simply by paying other people's taxes.
Of course, the question is, could this investment work as well for you, right now? Well, if you're looking for "hands-free" investing, something you can simply order through your broker and be done with in a matter of minutes, you should probably set this letter aside.
There is definitely some legwork required.
Of course, that's why the opportunity is so huge. Very few people understand how these investments work... and even fewer are willing to take the simple steps to "cash in."
In short, if you are concerned about the security of your retirement... and tired of lackluster stock market returns... then these investments could be perfect for you.
It's working out great for me, and I plan to invest a significant amount of money in these amazing vehicles this year.
Here's how it works...
Make as much as 50% – 1,000%by paying your neighbor's taxes
The federal government is notorious for wasting our tax dollars... like when they commissioned a $20 million design makeover for the penny, during the worst recession in history...
But at the local level, taxes pay for practical things that none of us, rich or poor, can do without... like garbage disposal, fire stations, police officers and ambulances. That's why the collection of property taxes is the #1 priority in every county in the United States. Nevertheless, every year, some people simply don't pay up:
One guy we heard about received an empty lot as part of a divorce settlement, but he couldn't be bothered paying the taxes for it...
Another guy moved, and did not notify the county of his address change. He didn't receive his tax bill, and forgot to pay it...
And in states like Florida, where I live, most overdue taxes are owed by hotshot developers who were left holding large tracts of undeveloped land when the bubble burst... Of course, the county does everything it can to get landowners to pay up...
"We try to give people every chance possible to pay when they're behind," says Carla Munoz, a Tax Commissioner I spoke with recently. "We send tons of notices, and we let them stretch things out."
But if the owner continues to avoid paying his taxes, the county eventually issues what is known as a Tax Certificate, which you can buy much like any other investment.
Think of it like this...When you buy a Tax Certificate, you are essentially loaning someone the money he needs to settle his tax bill right away.
In return, he must repay the loan – with interest – in a specified period of time, typically 12–24 months.
Here's just a small sampling of the interest rates per state:
Alabama 12%
Arizona 16%
Connecticut 18%
Colorado 15%
D.C. 18%
Florida 5%-18%
Hawaii 12%
Iowa 24%
Kentucky 12%
Louisiana 12%
Maryland 6-24%
Massachusetts 16%
Mississippi 18%
Missouri 10%
Montana 10%
Nebraska 14%
New Jersey 18%
North Dakota 12%
Ohio 18%
Oklahoma 8%
Pennsylvania 10%
South Carolina 8-12%
South Dakota 12%
Tennessee 10%
Vermont 12%
West Virginia 12%
Wyoming 15%
It's a win-win situation for everyone:
** The county gets the unpaid taxes immediately...
** The owner gets extra time to catch up on his taxes...
** And you get a low risk, high return investment...
just for helping out...
Keep in mind, as with any investment, this is not a risk-free opportunity.
Nothing is 100% guaranteed. But what's great is that the county serves as the "middleman,"
so you don't have to deal with the landowner directly.
And as soon as the taxes are paid, the county immediately cuts you a check for your principal, plus the agreed-upon interest. Take a look at the table to the right for a sampling of the incredible interest rates you could get paid.
You're unlikely to find rates this generous at your bank!
Tax Certificates typically offer a safe return of between 10% and 24%, as described by each state's law.
(And I'll explain in a minute how you could juice your returns as much as 1,000%,
like I'm in the process of doing right now.)
In short, "The benefits are phenomenal, especially when compared to other traditional investments like the stock market," says Prof. Larry Loftis, who manages a $12 million Tax Certificate portfolio.
Here's why Tax Certificates might be the perfect investment for you...
4 reasons why Tax Certificates could bethe best investment you make in 2010
Reason #1:
Tax Certificates are simple Now...
when I say simple,
I don't mean there's no legwork involved.
There is. But unlike many traditional investments like stocks, bonds and options, Tax Certificates require no investing experience.
You don't have to decipher complicated financial documents... deal with a broker... or understand the difference between put- and call options.
Instead, the local government not only walks you through the simple process of buying Tax Certificates, but they also take care of many of the administrative details,
so you don't have to... Edgar Frost from New Jersey says:
"I have purchased many of these investments. The great thing for me was that you could do this from the comfort of your computer.
It was actually very easy." Joel Crewman told us: "This is how I've been investing my rainy day fund for the last 6 years.
My wife and I basically spend one day out of the year [doing this].
" And Jeremy Williams, an electrical engineer working in Singapore, made 33% on a Tax Certificate he bought via the Internet. "
It can be done, remotely, across states and across the globe," he says. But there's another reason why I'm so excited about Tax Certificates...
Reason #2:
Tax Certificates are safe
Tax Certificates "are almost guaranteed to return 18% or more on your investment."
~ KiplingersTax Certificates are similar to a bond or other fixed-income vehicle...
You lend money on the condition that you get it back – plus interest – within a specified term.
But bonds are incredibly risky.
The corporate bond default rate could be as high as 23% in 2010...
the highest level since 1981, reports Standard and Poor's.
With Tax Certificates, on the other hand, your interest rate is fixed... and your check is written by the government.
As retiree Bud Delaney of Colorado told us:
"I [paid] the taxes owed and after the redemption period,
I got a check from the county for my money plus interest.
This is a very lucrative way to make money.
" Fact is, they are "almost guaranteed to return 18% or more on your investment," reports Kiplinger's. This brings me to the third reason for investing in Tax Certificates...
Reason #3:
Tax Certificates provide a stream of income In addition to being a simple, safe investment,
Tax Certificates could supply you with all the extra money you need...
"At times, checks were arriving every day!"
~ Fred Gibson,Bethesda, MD For instance,
one fellow I read about, Fred Gibson of Bethesda, Maryland, invested in Tax Certificates purely for the income they generate:
"At times, checks were arriving every day! A while back I received a check for $10,343," he says. James Sowell has been buying Certificates since 1992.
As of October 2009, he owned 794 Tax Certificates.
Every few weeks he gets a check in the mail, reports Florida's News Herald.
And Roger Hulbert told us the story of his father, who started their family plumbing business in 1970.
A few years later, he began investing in Tax Certificates as part of a loyalty program, sharing the income with his employees.
"The returns averaged 17% for over a decade." Compounded, that's enough to turn a $5,000 stake into $24,034.
"Some of his employees left with handsome profits from this simple investment. It was wildly successful," Roger told us.
But this opportunity gets even better...
Reason #4: Tax Certificates could earn you 1,000% or more
Turn $2,000 into $30,000...
If you invest $2,000 in a bank account, you'll be lucky to see 3.75% interest.
If you leave that money in the bank for 20 years and don't touch it...
you'll have a whopping $4,176. But if you invest in an Arizona Tax Certificate, for example, and each time the government pays you, you reinvest the funds in new Certificates, your retirement plan could look a whole lot different... Arizona pays Certificate holders 16% interest.
At the end of 20 years, your $2,000 could be worth more than $30,000.
And that's if you never invest another dime!
That's 17 times what you would make at your local bank.
Isn't it time you took advantage of Tax Certificates?
As I hinted earlier, some Tax Certificates have the potential to make you much more than the already high interest rates that state laws permit...
With a bit of extra legwork, you could juice your total returns even more, making incredible gains of 500%... 983%... even 1,000% or more...
In fact, under certain circumstances, your Tax Certificate investment "may be worth 10 to 20 times what you invested," says industry expert, Bill Carey, who's been investing this way for the past 20 years.
For instance, retiree Joseph Hairston invested a total of $15,000 in a Tax Certificate-based opportunity that he now estimates to be worth $150,000 to $200,000, reports The Washington Post.
And one couple we heard of paid $255 for a Tax Certificate.
Rod and Emily Banks say they got back an incredible $94,745 in profit – a 37,054% return on their investment.
"My wife and I have been secretly buying and selling Tax Certificates for years, and have made a fat fortune!" says Rod.
Now, I can't promise that you'll make a 37,054% with these kinds of investments.
In fact, it's unlikely you'll ever make that much on a single Tax Certificate.
Please be realistic about your potential gains. But what I can promise you is that there are some extraordinary deals out there right now.
For example... I recently bought a few with my own money...
"You can flat get rich! Imagine what achieving 'millionaire status'... in three years would do for your financial peace of mind."
~ The Philadelphia Tribune
In fact, I bought three Tax Certificates in November 2009...
and I've just received my first interest check of $2,257.
And I bought one just a few months ago,
on which I conservatively estimate I'll make about 1,000% over the next five years.
Crazy, isn't it? But before I go any further,
I want to make one important point clear:
There has never been a better time to invest in Tax Certificates.
Let me explain...
Get in... before this secret gets out My name is Dr. Steve Sjuggerud...
and I've been working in the investment world for 15 years.
I started out going the traditional route. I got an MBA, a PhD in Finance...
and learned the ropes as a stockbroker, mutual fund manager, and eventually as a hedge fund manager.
But frankly, even though I was making good money, as time passed,
I grew progressively more uncomfortable with the way Wall Street does business.
That's why I left to write my own independent research advisory, called True Wealth.
I've learned a lot in the last 15 years, but the single most important lesson was this:
Timing is everything.
Here's what people are saying about Tax Certificates...
Jacky Wing, San Antonio, TX:
"I have done very well thru this mode of investing.
I started about 45 yrs ago. Quite safe and profitable." Tom Carridene, Phoenix, AZ:
"[Tax Certificates] are unique investments unknown to most investors, and I am glad that Steve thinks out of the box to recommend alternative investments.
" Edgar Frost, Portland, OR:"The great thing for me was that you could do this from the comfort of your computer." Joel Crewman, Springfield, MO:
"This is how I have been investing my rainy day fund for the last 6 years.
My wife and I basically spend 1 day out of the year [doing this]"
Jacob Cook, Towson, MD:
"I paid less than $500 for both [Tax Certificates].
On the one, I got my 10% back within a couple of months,
a good return on my money.
I sold the other for a net of $2,000.
" That's a 700% gain! For instance, back in March 2009 when the market looked like it was in freefall, I urged True Wealth readers to buy stocks BEFORE the markets corrected, predicting specifically: "Stocks could rise 50% in the next 18 months." Turns out, I was wrong. Instead of taking 18 months... we saw stocks rise almost 50% in just 12 months. Nearly everything in the True Wealth portfolio showed significant gains.
But here's the thing...
I believe the time to make easy money in stocks is over...
at least for now.
Stocks have gone up so much, so fast, that we need to look elsewhere for the easy money... And that's where Tax Certificates come in...
You see, right now, the interest rates attached to Tax Certificates are skyrocketing. According to Dale Summerford, Florida's Gadsden County tax collector, that's because until recently, banks were the major buyers of these investments, pushing out individual investors.
But when the credit crisis hit, banks began to hoard their cash... and stopped buying most investments, including Tax Certificates.
As a result, there are literally thousands of Tax Certificates available to individual investors.
But few people even know they exist... and many of those who do, aren't willing to do the necessary legwork. For us, that means more inventory... less competition... and higher potential payouts.
In short, I've spent many years researching "alternative" investments. This is one of the easiest I've found to date... and the timing couldn't be better. Keep in mind, Tax Certificates are available in every state in some form, but the details vary. Of course, as with any investment, there are risks. But I believe, if you follow a few simple steps and secrets I've uncovered, investing in Tax Certificates is the safest and most lucrative thing you can do with your money today... better than gold... better than silver... and certainly a heck of a lot better than stocks and bonds. In my new research report, Tax Certificates: How to Make 1,000% Paying Your Neighbors' Taxes, I'll explain exactly how Tax Certificates work... which ones to buy... which to avoid... and everything else you need to know to get started. This report is among the first things to which you'll get free access, if you accept my invitation to take a no-risk trial look at my research service, True Wealth... Here's how it works...
"You don't have to take big risks to make big gains"Based in the historic Mount Vernon district of Baltimore, Stansberry & Associates Investment Research was founded in 1999. Today, individuals in 200 countries read our independent financial research and recommendations. Unlike Wall Street investment banks, we have no ties to the companies we cover. We don't give individual advice, and we don't provide brokerage services. Our only source of income is from subscribers who pay for our work. It's competition at its finest. If we don't produce great research and great results, our readers will take their business elsewhere.
Most importantly, we go to great lengths to make sure our business is transparent. That's why we don't allow our analysts to own the stocks they recommend. And that's why we publish an annual report card, reviewing the results of our recommendations. We believe this is how the investment industry should work. No hidden interests or secret agendas. Over the past few years, we have discovered some unique and very profitable investment opportunities for our subscribers. For example:
We uncovered a corporate bond that several of the big investment firms scoffed at. We're having the last laugh, as it is currently returning an incredible 196% during the worst recession in history...
In July 2009, we told readers about a tiny Chinese company (listed on the New York Stock Exchange) that had just signed a secret partnership deal with the Chinese government, giving them the right to mine one of China's largest goldmines. The stock is up 327%, while the price of gold is up "only" 20%...
We found a little-known way for regular investors to buy Hawaiian and Florida real estate – without ever leaving home – for the equivalent of about $150 an acre.
So far, readers who took our recommendation have had the opportunity to make gains of about 98%...
But probably our biggest and most important discovery of the past few years is what I've been sharing with you here:
How to make 10% to 1,095% or more investing in Tax Certificates, without big risks.
It's exactly the type of investment that I focus on in True Wealth.
Unique, simple, and extremely safe ways to help you pay for retirement...
My motto is simple:
You don't have to take big risks to make big gains. You see, what I've found over the years is that most investors fall into one of two camps... First, there are those people who feel they're unqualified to handle their own money, so they leave it up to self-serving brokers to manage. I know from my experience on Wall Street, the highest commissions are paid on products that are complex and risky. These investments make brokers rich... but are often not in your best interests. Second, there are those people who manage their own money, and simply take on way too much risk by chasing the next hot stock. Thing is, there is absolutely no reason to do so. All most folk need is someone with a steady hand and a solid track record of finding lucrative "alternative" investments that carry little risk. That's exactly what True Wealth is about. Believe me, this is not your typical stock tout sheet... not by a long shot. Instead, I spend most of my time researching and traveling all over the country, investigating opportunities you won't likely hear of elsewhere. Like this one... another opportunity brought to you courtesy of the U.S. government...
Get Social Security... no matter what your ageThe laws governing Social Security benefits are every bit as complex and confusing as the IRS tax code... So don't be surprised if you, like most Americans, haven't heard about the secrets that could increase your lifetime Social Security benefit by as much as $100,000 or more...
"It may take a little effort... but if one of these scenarios applies to you, you could... boost your Social Security benefits by up to $1,000 per month."
~ Kiplinger's ** For instance, there is a simple instruction you can write on 'Line R' of your application that could qualify you for an extra $12,000 EVERY year: Timothy and Marilyn Westcott of Minneapolis used this Social Security secret to add nearly $700 a month to their benefits. As Mr. Westcott said in a recent interview: "I never dreamed that I could draw [this] benefit. I submitted my application, and within 10 days I had received a check for $2,760 retroactive to February 2008." ** Or consider the secret of Form '521-B'... Jim Roth is a retired hardware store owner who took advantage of this "loophole," which enables him and his wife to collect an extra $1,033 per month... every year for the rest of their lives. As Roth told us in an interview, "It's like free money." ** And if you have a family, use Form '3881-25'... David McManus is a teacher from Mobile, AL. By taking advantage of this secret, he was able to collect a little-known family benefit. As Mr. Marcus says: "I went to the Social Security Office and was told... [I] was entitled to $1,068 per month."
In short, as Kiplinger's Personal Finance reports: "It may take a little effort... but if one of these scenarios applies to you, you could... boost your Social Security benefits by up to $1,000 per month." I've written a detailed research report called: How to Add $1,100 to Your Social Security Payments Each Month. The report also includes full details on:
How to collect social security at ANY age. I realize this may sound impossible, but there are millions of people in America collecting Social Security who aren't yet retired...
And how to slash – or even eliminate altogether – the taxes you pay on Social Security. A Wharton School of Business study showed exactly how this is possible. Yes, it is true... you can legally receive, TAX-FREE, as much as $89,000 a year from Social Security. (Please note: This secret does not eliminate taxes on your other retirement income, just social security.) Do yourself a favor, and if you meet the necessary requirements, please take advantage of these secrets as soon as possible. After all, collecting Social Security is a right you earned through your labor... and I can just about guarantee you will NOT hear about ways to boost your monthly payments anywhere else. If you would like, I can make sure you get a copy of my research report, which explains the entire situation. It's called: How to Add $1,100 to Your Social Security Payments Each Month. Again, you will receive this research free of charge when you try a subscription to True Wealth. Is my work right for you? Well, you'll have to make that decision yourself... but there are a few things you should consider before giving it a try...
Please read this first... As I mentioned earlier, I started out in the financial world as a stock broker, working my way up to become Vice President of an international mutual fund... then managed a hedge fund, and later headed up an independent research firm. But about 9 years ago, I quit and left all of that behind, to start True Wealth, an investment research service that has become one of the most successful advisory newsletters in America. Frankly, I'm not comfortable patting myself on the back, so I'll keep my list of "achievements" short: I've found more than 60 safe investment recommendations that have gained double-digits or more. Right now (March 2010) the open portfolio for True Wealth is up an average 28%. And since 2002, my True Wealth picks have outperformed the S&P 500 by 22 percentage points.
For instance, back in 2003, when everyone was touting all kinds of risky stocks, I recommended that my readers buy a unique gold investment that has a history of paying MORE than gold bullion... and as much as gold stocks... with just a fraction of the risk. True Wealth subscriber Tony Scott took advantage of this opportunity recently and told us: "My initial purchases have doubled. These purchases have outperformed anything else in my portfolio."
I also found another safe, lucrative way to invest in, of all things, timberland. Historically, this has been one of the safest and best investments you could ever make. True Wealth readers have had the chance to make as much as 64% in capital gains...
And did you know there's an extremely unique bond investment available today that has a history of being safer and more profitable than the stock market? It helped my readers make a safe 50%... during a time when stocks took a loss of more than 10%. And remember, my #1 objective is to help you make large gains – without taking big risks – on investments you are very unlikely to hear about anywhere else. For example: When this Gold Signal Flashes, You Make 100% in a Year:The last four times this indicator said "buy," you could have made 100% gains within a year. Now, it's flashing "buy" again. To collect triple-digit gains within a year, you normally need to use options or some other complicated strategy. But that's not what I'm recommending at all. You just buy a safe, simple fund through your regular brokerage account. This setup has happened four times in the last nine years. And each time, it led to triple-digit gains within 12 months. I'll explain this simple indicator and exactly how to take advantage of it, as soon as you try True Wealth. The Sky is the Limit for This Currency Play:Most investors think the dollar will crash under the weight of the wild government spending and money-printing bailouts. But one of the biggest lessons I've learnt in my career is: Don't follow the herd. That's one of many reasons why I'm recommending an entirely different play on currencies. I believe you could make as much as 50% in the next few months. This type of opportunity doesn't come along very often. And there's an extremely simple way to take advantage of the situation. I'll tell you everything you need to know as soon as you become a True Wealth subscriber. Again, you DON'T have to take big risks to make big gains. These investments are great buys as I write... and you can take advantage of them immediately. I promise, you'll sleep better at night knowing you've got your money in a low-risk investment... with the potential for very big gains. In short, if you are looking for investment alternatives in this very risky and extremely volatile market, I recommend you take a look at my work. Of course, I can't tell you for sure whether or not it will be right for you, but here's what some readers have told us recently... Clyde Lafond, 68, from Burbank, CA, wrote recently to tell us:
"I have been following Dr. Sjuggerud's investments for several years. Only wish I had known him early in my life. My $600,000.00 is now worth well over a $1,000,000.00. I think that I am almost ready to retire."** R. C. Beck, 80, who's a retired cardiac surgeon told us:
"I have been reading Dr. Sjuggerud's reports for over five years. I took my wife's portfolio from her advisor and quadrupled it."** Raymond Martin, 53, a former news producer at CBS told us:
"Dr. Sjuggerud is, by far, the best at what he does...make me money! I have a 7-figure portfolio with many years of investing acumen. I'm up over 100K on his recommendations (in less than a year). No one else comes close."It's funny... you know we've even had a lot of people in the financial industry subscribe to my service, to find ideas for their clients. For example... Subscriber Gary Munson, who's a Certified Financial Planner and a Senior VP at one of the world's biggest investment firms, told us:
"After being in the investment business for almost 24 years, I feel I'm fairly qualified to evaluate investment recommendations as I am a financial advisor and portfolio manager. Steve's recommendations and the way he thinks are absolutely top-notch. "His newsletter recommendations have become a major arrow in my quiver that I am able to utilize in my own clients' accounts. I read a lot of newsletters and other literature constantly looking for investment ideas, and Steve's True Wealth ranks at the very top." Subscriber Brian Rose, a full-time equity trader from San Francisco, wrote to say:
"I KNOW I will have much more money for retirement because of Dr. Sjuggerud's True Wealth. It is comforting to know that Steve has no agenda other than to make me money." Andrew Lawson from Charleston, SC, said:
"I was a stockbroker for 19 years. I trained with the 4th largest NYSE member firm at that time. I learned more from Dr. Sjuggerud in the last 8 months about the wide universe of investments than I learned in 19 years as a broker... "Steve's recommendations are conservative, they make sense, and they regularly make large profits - much more than one would expect from safe investments." Of course, I can only tell you so much. You've got to try my work for yourself before you can decide whether or not it's right for you. So here's what I propose...
What to do withyour money nowI'd like to give you a free copy of the two Research Reports I've described in this letter: Research Report #1: Tax Certificates: How to make 1,000% paying your neighbors' taxes Research Report #2: How to Add $1,100 to Your Social Security Payments Each Month. These two new Reports will be the first things you should read when you take a trial subscription to my monthly investment research service, True Wealth. Then, over the course of the next year, you'll also receive: True Wealth (12 issues in total over the next year) will be sent to you on the third Friday of each month, first by e-mail, then by regular mail. Each month, I explain the details on what I've found to be the best investments and retirement strategies in the world... with the least possible risk. We'll also begin sending you DailyWealth: Every day the markets are open, you'll receive an email about the investments we're looking at... updates on what we've already recommended... and details on the best insights from other researchers and analysts around the world. You'll receive DailyWealth first thing in the morning, before the markets open. Plus, you'll have full access to our online archive of True Wealth issues and Special Reports like: When this Gold Signal Flashes, You Make 100% in a Year... The Sky is the Limit for This Currency Play (it's NOT the dollar)... and Don't Lose Money: The Most Important Law of Lasting Wealth... And get this: For the next 6 months, you can give True Wealth, and everything else I've described here, a look at absolutely no risk. What I mean is, take the time in your own home to look over all my research, including the latest reports on how you could get a lot of extra money from the Social Security Administration... how to make a fortune thanks to a unique government gold investment... how to get guaranteed monthly income, no matter what happens in the stock market... and more. If my ideas and recommendations don't sound right for you... no problem. Let me know and we'll send you your money back... all of it. Keep the research you've received. Believe me, six (6) months will give you plenty of time to make a decision about my work. You may have subscribed to an investment newsletter before, but I guarantee the analysis you'll find in True Wealth will be unlike anything you've seen before. (Also, keep in mind that should you change your mind after your 6-month trial is up, you can still receive a refund on the remaining portion of your subscription.) In short, I believe True Wealth is the ideal research service for anyone who wants the opportunity to make great gains... without taking big risks. Of course, you'll have to make a decision for yourself. So how much does it cost and how can you get started? Well, before I give you the full details, there's one more thing I'd like to make you aware of... It's an extraordinary situation I uncovered recently...
"Guaranteed Retirement Contracts" Pay for LifeMore than 100 U.S. companies now offer this alternative to stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Your payouts are guaranteed not to drop in value, and will be delivered EVERY SINGLE MONTH for the rest of your life. It's what Barron's calls, "The new way to retire." I'm talking about one of the most mysterious, misunderstood, and well-kept secrets of the rich... something we call the "Guaranteed Retirement Contract." This is an investment. But it's almost certainly unlike any investment you've considered before. For one, the money you receive as a result is guaranteed by a company that (unlike almost any other business in America) is required to have enough cash on hand to meet all future obligations. Your money is also guaranteed (typically up to $100,000) by a "Guaranty Fund" regulated by the government. Another thing that makes this investment unique is that the monthly payouts you receive can go up in value... but never down... even if stocks, bonds, and real estate stay in a bear market for another 20 years. And it gets even better... Unlike any other investment I know of, the money you receive from a "Retirement Contract" will be sent to you for the rest of your life, and can even be passed on to your heirs. As John Olsen, who runs Olsen Financial Group in St. Louis told Time Magazine: "If you want the absolute assurance of income for life, there is no alternative." Incredibly, there are other perks and advantages too.... Unlike ordinary stocks and mutual funds, there's no guessing about how much you'll have or when you'll get paid. You can set up and secure your financial future in just 10 minutes – and know exactly when and how much you'll be collecting for the rest of your life. You'll never again have to worry about when to buy... or when to sell. And you'll even know the exact day your monthly payouts will be delivered (it's required by law). As "Retirement Contract" beneficiary Paul Jordan, who's 56 years old and receives $2,376 per month, recently said: "It's automatically deposited in my checking account each month, which is convenient." Now you can see why Money Magazine says these contracts, "will become the retirement investing rage." And why the journal of Financial Planning says, "they could be a magic bullet." Keep in mind: "Guaranteed Retirement Contracts" are not right for everyone. And you must meet several requirements before you can begin collecting these guaranteed payouts. The good news is, most Americans near retirement age do qualify, and it will take you no more than 10 minutes to complete the necessary forms. I've written a detailed Special Report called "Guaranteed Retirement Contracts: The Only Investment With Zero Downside and Unlimited Upside"... and I'd like you to have it – free – when you subscribe to my True Wealth investment letter. True Wealth, by the way, costs only $99 for an entire year.

There's one more thing that I think you'll want to know about as well. In short, there's ONE Government-Sponsored Program that could enable you to retire virtually tax-free. I'm taking advantage of this personally and I recommend you do the same. There is absolutely nothing else like it in America, if you want to legally avoid paying taxes in retirement. As The Wall Street Journal recently reported: This is "one of the best deals in retirement... virtually all income growth and withdrawals are tax-free." Everything you need to know is explained in my latest report: The Only 100% Tax-Free Retirement Plan in America. This also comes free with your no-risk trial subscription to True Wealth.
