Why I'm Playing the Smart Phone Tsunami Right Now

If you've ever tried to use an iPhone in New York City, you know firsthand how badly wireless networks need to be upgraded.

Speaking from personal experience, it's miserable. Some estimates say 20% of AT&T calls are dropped in the Big Apple. The 3G network crawls at times. Check out this spoof AT&T ad about dropped calls (warning: involves explicit language). There's even a Facebook group called AT&T Sucks boasting 445 members.

People aren't happy with slow wireless, and providers are being forced to upgrade to meet demand. The market is projected to grow at an astounding annualized rate of 131% until 2013, as this chart from Cisco shows:

3g-data-consumption

Growth like that should set alarm bells off in your head.

Because certain companies are going to make a killing off this inevitable — and huge — wireless upgrade cycle.

One of them is Tellabs (NASDAQ: TLAB), and I think it's a buy here. Let me explain why.

First off, Tellabs is a $2.6b company sitting on $1.3b in cash. Debt is minimal at $268m. They're profitable and the company just started paying a dividend this quarter (current yield: 1.2%). Their balance sheet is immaculate. Management has been on a cost-cutting crusade over the past year and is now shifting the company's focus to high-margin products.

Tellabs also happens to be very well-positioned for the wireless data build-out. TLAB sells products that improve data flow — for both wired and wireless markets. They sell products that improve performance and lower costs for mobile carriers, internet service providers, and traditional voice companies.

While TLAB should also benefit from the wired broadband market, wireless is where the real growth is at. Demand for their wireless data management products soared 52% last year. According to Reuters, Tellabs CEO recently said at a recent conference that he expects 60%-70% growth in 2010.

Smart Phone Tsunami

Smart phones like Apple's iPhone are pushing wireless networks to the breaking point. Customers are using more data than expected, earlier than expected.

Apple took the industry by surprise with the iPhone; it was the first mobile product that's truly fun to use on the web. But they're not the only company with a great web phone anymore... Their lead is slipping, and demand on 3G and 4G networks will only get heavier as competitors like Google and PALM catch up.

Tellabs has products to help solve these data problems. One of their new releases — the Smart Internet Breakout Gateway — is a good example. The name is a mouthful, but the product has big potential. The Gateway routes traffic and data more efficiently through mobile networks, saving bandwidth and improving performance. It's currently being tested by major mobile operators.

The company said in a recent press release: "Users want fast mobile data, so operators must prepare their networks for the mobile Internet tsunami," said Rehan Jalil, senior vice president, mobile Internet at Tellabs. "Tellabs' Smart Internet Breakout Gateway enables operators to handle traffic easily while reducing their costs dramatically."

The Whole Package

TLAB has just about everything I look for in a best stock: a rock-solid balance sheet, a strong growth catalyst, and a dividend (albeit a small one).

There's also some buyout potential, but that's not on top of my list. Tellabs has great technology, a portfolio of intellectual property (patents), and a pile of cash. When recently asked about takeovers, the company's CEO said, "There have been inquiries over time but we are still a standalone company and we like it that way and so do our customers."

So a buyout may not be on the table in the immediate future, but it's always a possibility. Small strong companies like TLAB are attractive acquisition targets. Especially with giants like Cisco sitting on $40b in cash...

If the price were right, I'm sure the board would come around.

ENVI: Best Stocks Analyst In 2011

Changes in federal regulations have triggered some of the most profitable investment opportunities of a lifetime. You could make a fortune from this one.

I'm forecasting a fast 475% from Enviro Resolutions (OTC: ENVI.PK) in the stampede to upgrade diesel engines with the company's exclusive EPA-compliant exhaust-scrubbing muffler.

The profit potential here is enormous. An Enviro Resolutions (ENVI) exhaust-scrubbing muffler eliminates 95% of pollution from diesel exhaust...making it the only bolt-on technology I've found that enables any diesel engine to meet 2007 EPA emissions standards.

You do not want to miss this. Sales of the Enviro Resolutions (ENVI) exhaust-scrubbing muffler are clearly set to skyrocket. Investors buying ENVI shares today are getting a ground floor on what could easily become the fastest growing green energy top stocks for 2011 in the market today.

Imagine the value of ENVI shares, now selling around $1.30, when this company's diesel scrubbing muffler gains traction in the market.

ENVI could quickly quintuple in value once the market catches on. And catch on it will! Green energy is "on the radar" and ENVI could hit the screen in a blinding flash!

You'll want to be ready for this breakout profit event!

As America ramps up its green energy campaign...the early winners will be the companies that make green energy upgrades easy and affordable. Enviro Resolutions (ENVI) exhaust-scrubbing muffler could be a perfect fit. The company reports that its muffler can be retrofitted to a diesel exhaust system for around $3,400...and as you will learn in a moment...that's a screaming bargain!

690,000 American school buses and public transportation make up the most immediate market potential for Enviro Resolutions (ENVI). Even a fraction of this market could send ENVI shares flying.

The immediate market for Enviro Resolutions (ENVI) exhaust-scrubbing mufflers is huge. My recommendation is to load up on ENVI right now...then sit tight and watch what happens! My forecast is for 475% growth in ENVI. Next target...coal fired industrial plants and 3000% profit potential.

The fuel behind the accelerating growth of ENVI shares is one of the most powerful market forces in America today, the Environmental Protection Agency. With a stroke of a pen, this agency created an instant market for Enviro Resolutions (ENVI) technology...a whopping $2.25 BILLION overnight market for the company's exclusive exhaust systems.

Just a fraction of this market leads to millions in sales for Enviro resolutions (ENVI)!

The implications of the new EPA rules are stunning. Forced into using the EPA's expensive low-emissions diesel fuel, a single fleet operator can lose hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. It's a daunting financial challenge, particularly for school and municipal bus services that cannot easily pass along soaring new costs.

Now, these fleet operators have an effective, low-cost alternative...the EPA-compliant diesel exhaust-scrubbing muffler available only from Enviro Resolutions (ENVI).

After installing the Enviro Resolutions (ENVI) muffler, diesel emissions plummet, even when using low-cost diesel fuel.

In the coming months, I anticipate you'll see an explosion of demand for Enviro Resolutions (ENVI) diesel-scrubbing muffler, setting off skyrocketing prices in ENVI shares.

Expect triple-digit gains in the coming months...hitting 475% growth in what could easily become my most profitable pick of the year!

Already proven in real world use!

The Enviro Resolutions (ENVI) muffler is more than a great idea...it's a proven product! In a towering anti-pollution challenge, the Enviro Resolutions muffler virtually eliminated smoke from the stack of the Vancouver ferry! (See photos on right.)

Used on buses, it could save a fortune for cities and school districts. Two years ago the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) conducted an experiment for its fleet of 1,000 diesel buses. Instead of fueling them with #1 grade diesel, they switched to #2 grade diesel for one year and saved $700,000.

Had the Enviro Resolutions (ENVI) scrubbing muffler been installed, an even lower grade of fuel could have been purchased and the buses would still have run cleaner than if they were burning the more expensive #1 diesel! The savings would soar into the millions of dollars!

The prospect for saving six to seven figures each year in fuel costs should compel bus fleets to install Enviro Solutions (ENVI) exhaust-scrubbing mufflers immediately! Share prices in ENVI should lead the stampede hitting triple-digit gains in a flash!

It's time to make money on ENVI!

I know the signs of winning potential and my 475% growth projection for Enviro Solutions (ENVI) is a no-brainer.

Like I said, the market potential is huge, $2.25 billion huge...and it's driven by the unavoidable power of newly enacted EPA regulations that slash diesel sulfur and particulate emissions by 95% or more!
Meeting those EPA requirements can be cheap and easy simply by installing an Enviro Resolutions (ENVI) diesel-scrubbing muffler.

You do not want to miss this.

Diesel clean-up is a top priority at the EPA. If you drive a diesel vehicle, you know the agency already forced refiners to produce a new low-sulfur diesel fuel for retail channels. It's an expensive solution! This stuff is selling at 4.5¢ to 5¢ a gallon over last year's fuel...and you have no choice but to use it. Imagine the cost for a fleet of buses! As I highlighted above, it can add hundreds of thousands of dollars in fuel costs each year!

Meeting the Rules + Avoiding Expense = Profits for You

Diesel operators had no choice but to start using the new higher priced fuel. And to add insult to injury, the new fuel is hard on older engines. Maintenance costs are projected to rise and engines will wear out sooner.
Fleet operators may avoid all these expenses by using Enviro Resolutions (ENVI) diesel-scrubbing mufflers and filling their tanks with cheaper fuel at home base!
ENVI reports that with an Enviro Resolutions scrubbing muffler (costs only $3,400), even the filthiest diesel engine can be brought into EPA compliance.
What's more, the cost of maintaining the Enviro Resolutions (ENVI) scrubbing muffler is nil. An easily flushed collector allows fast and simple cleansing of retained pollutants.

I project that the smart money will be spent on Enviro Resolutions diesel exhaust scrubbers...adding up millions in sales. The market is all but certain, and the early money may even come from the EPA itself!

Even the EPA knows it whelped a monster!

Following its heavy-handed edict, the EPA saw the cost it inflicted on bus operations. In an attempt to mitigate those expenses, it has been spending millions of Federal grant dollars to subsidize bus engine or vehicle replacement.

For example, from 2006 to date, the EPA has awarded or announced over $19.34 million in grants for new school bus engines.

With the EPA approach, thousands of perfectly good diesel bus engines could be tossed in the trash at an estimated cost of $6,000+ per vehicle! And even with a new engine installed, the bus still must use the expensive new 2007 fuel. The high cost of fueling remains unchanged.

No matter how you cut it, bus operators MUST use the expensive new fuel...UNLESS they can reduce the pollution in some other way.

The solution could easily be the Enviro Resoutions (ENVI) exhaust-scrubbing muffler. Engines could be saved meeting EPA standards with lower cost fuel...all at a fraction of the cost of engine or vehicle replacement.

The Enviro Resolutions (ENVI) is so effective, you could look for its diesel-scrubbing muffler to be offered in a Federal grant program as well!

This is a huge development that remains little-noticed on Wall Street, but carries with it enormous potential. I'm thrilled to have discovered ENVI early. Accordingly, I've propelled Enviro Resolutions (ENVI) to the front of my green energy picks for 2008.

Let me assure you, green energy is paying off big in my book. I recently recommended a wind energy best stock that more than doubled in 21 days. A solar energy pick soared 83% in just 6 months. As you will learn in this report, I expect ENVI to outperform all of them. Thanks to EPA rulemaking, it's an opportunity that's opening right now.

The ugly underbelly of Green Energy is clean up...and you could "clean up" a fortune from Enviro Resolutions (ENVI).

Americans are so predictable...and Wall Street is the same. Billions are flowing into "new" green energy technologies, some promising, some idiotic. New ideas come and go like floats in a parade. At the end of the day, only one guy is guaranteed a job, that's the guy with the broom.

I don't want to labor the metaphor, but clean up is big money and it's only going to get bigger.

For Enviro Resolutions (ENVI), it's a market of low-hanging fruit. It's why I can readily project 500% short term growth as word gets out about the Enviro Resolutions diesel exhaust scrubbing muffler. 1,000 shares of ENVI bought today could quickly produce a $4,900 profit. 5,000 shares of ENVI bought today could similarly return a $24,500 gain!

Once the Enviro Resolutions (ENVI) scrubber gets traction in the market, I see huge potential in scrubber sales and corresponding profit in ENVI shares.

When government makes rules,
you can make money.

Complying with EPA regulations will trigger a rush to spend millions. Even a modest 5% share of the overall market potential could add up to $112.5 million in Enviro Resolutions (ENVI) sales! With figures like this, ENVI shares have even foreseeable potential to rise into the $13 to $15 range, twelve times today's entry price.

For now, I'm conservatively recommending ENVI for its 475% growth potential.

This is an early stage company ready to move now. These simple facts make a compelling case for ENVI shares right now...

It's protected by three key patents
There is no competition for meeting EPA requirements
The scrubber is inexpensive and requires no significant maintenance

Give this some thought and you'll quickly recognize the potential in ENVI shares. It's also tied to a pattern I've uncovered in the green energy sector.

Enviro Resolutions (ENVI) isn't the only company I've found with an enormous green energy potential. As America (and the world) ramps up new green energy technologies, you could earn a fortune from the changes.

My publication, the Intelligent Investor Report (IIR), digs deeply into all important energy sectors to flush out emerging leadership. Stocks investment for 2011 in these companies could one day be worth a fortune and I want to help you find them now.

Compare my results with other market pundits. My record is simply off the charts. See results to the right.

The top three performing newsletters in America according to Hulbert's Interactive yielded 12-month average returns of 29.9%, 28.5% and 28.5% (reported on 5/28/07). My average, including all winners and losers, averaged 46.7% over the last 12 months!

I beat Hulbert's best by a whopping 156%!

Companies like Enviro Resolutions (ENVI) could quickly gain enormous market size. In a year or two, the companies I find could be worth fortunes, and like ENVI, carve out a solid share of America's multi-billion-dollar green energy market.

Right now, I recommend you make your move on my first IIR pick for you: Enviro Resolutions (ENVI).

Remember, should ENVI take off like I think it will, you heard about it first from me!

Go Nukes

The "No Nukes" era has been replaced by the "Go Nukes" era...and uranium top stocks are a great way to play the trend.

The nuclear industry is about to experience a breakout, and it's going to be a major investment opportunity. Lately, I've been talking with people in the nuclear business, from uranium miners to reactor designers to government minders and check signers. Everything I've heard leads me to believe that 2010 will be a good year – finally – for the nuclear industry.

Whether you want to look just at home in the US or all around the world, the nuclear story is good and getting better. The main use for nuclear power is to generate electricity. Let's start with a look at how the world generates its electricity.

There are 436 operating reactors in 30 countries around the world, 104 of which are in the US. These reactors produce just shy of 15% of the world's electricity. The best data are that 50 reactors are currently under construction. There are 137 more being formally planned, and another 295 reported proposals seeking construction approval.

And what about China and its nuclear ambitions? According to an article in the Dec. 16, 2009, edition of The New York Times, "China is preparing to build three times as many nuclear power plants in the coming decade as the rest of the world combined."

According to the Times, China's "civilian nuclear power industry" (and rest assured there's a Chinese military nuclear power industry as well) has 11 operating reactors, with as many as 10 new reactors per year planned for the next 15 years. That's 150 new reactors just in China.

So where will the world nuclear industry obtain the uranium fuel for all these new reactors? That's a darn good question. Just in the US, annual uranium use for the nuclear power industry is about 55 million pounds. The US produces less than 4 million pounds of this fuel – about 7% – and imports the rest.

But despite the large US demand for uranium imports, the world uranium mining industry lacks adequate capacity to meet demand. A large amount of the nuclear fuel imported into the US comes from decommissioned nuclear warheads from Russia. The warheads trace their origins back to the Soviet Union.

If you thought the US had a problem with imported oil, now you know that there's an issue with uranium fuel as well. Of course, I'm not the only one who knows this. It's a national security issue, and I can tell you that things are about to change in a very big way.

So let's discuss the fuel, uranium, which is priced and traded as an oxide, U3O8. (It's a yellow powder, often referred to as yellowcake.) The price of uranium oxide peaked in June 2007, at about $135 per pound. The price declined from there, and plummeted in late 2008 with the global crash and stock market meltdown (no pun intended).

Uranium oxide currently sells in the mid-$40s per pound. This price is about as low as it can be, according to the people with whom I've discussed the matter. One producer told me, "At current prices in the $40s, I can barely pay the overhead to keep the plant open. Below these prices, I'll shut down and let other people lose money. But if prices recover, any increase goes straight to my bottom line. So I expect to make money in this business, and soon."

What did this fellow mean? Both the mining and purchasing communities agree that the price of uranium is headed upward in 2010. The reason is that the Russians are running out of old warheads and utilities are back in the market for more supply.

The near-term viewpoint is that we'll see uranium oxide prices in the mid-$60s during 2010. Prices will trend even higher over the medium term, with some forecasters predicting $250 and higher over the long term.

All indications are that there is a great investment play here. It's time to get in, and I believe we're getting in near the bottom. Here's what to do. Take a position in the Market Vectors Nuclear Energy ETF (NYSE:NLR).

As the name implies, this is an exchange-traded fund. It tracks the DAXglobal Nuclear Energy Index. It's oriented toward growth, and includes global companies from uranium miners through electrical generators. The ETF includes common top stocks to buy and a variety of depository receipts that are listed for trading on major stock exchanges around the world. Thus, you can "participate" in many foreign stock plays that you would not ordinarily buy on US exchanges.

The ETF rules are that all companies it owns derive at least 50% of their total revenues from the nuclear energy business.

Most of the holdings of NLR are on foreign exchanges. Thus, it's a great way to play nuclear on the New York Stock Exchange, yet obtain exposure to the international nuclear market without the hassle of foreign trading.

This nuclear ETF has been around since August 2007, and has generally gone down with the declining fortunes of the nuclear industry in the past two years. Still, despite the recent doldrums of the nuclear industry, NLR returned 20% in 2009.

NLR is currently trading in the range of $22 per share. As the nuclear industry recovers in 2010 – from uranium mining to equipment building to power generation – the component top stocks will rise and the ETF will benefit. If you're going to go nuclear, now is a good time and NLR is a great way to do it.

Breaking It Down to Macroeconomics

Markets in the US ended yesterday's session in the red. The Dow was off by 100 points, or around 1%. The broader S&P 500 fell a bit harder, down 1.3% at the close. Gold slipped, too. The yellow metal sunk below the $1,100 mark and now trades for about $1,095 per ounce. Oil gained a smidge, to just shy of $80 a barrel.

What do these single day data points tell us? On their own, probably not much. Put together...still not much. Stick your nose close enough to the computer screen and pretty soon the daily numbers begin to lose their meaning. Journalists report only after the facts, making up their reasons for this and that move as they go.

"Investors shrug off concerns about XYZ, display confidence in recovery," one paper might read after the Dow jumps half a point.

"Investors remain sidelined as concerns over XYZ dampen recovery hopes," another might read on the same day.

On a daily basis it is simply impossible to know what goes on in the hundreds of thousands of minds operating hundreds of billions of dollars in the global markets. Maybe some hedge fund manager's wife just left him...causing him to lose focus for a moment and to liquidate his position in XYZ instead of ABC. Maybe he got some inside information, which then turned out to be false. In that case he might be back in the office first thing tomorrow morning to buy the best stock back. In reality, there are so many variables, so many separate and distinct inputs, that it is virtually impossible to draw a straight line between cause "A" and effect "B" in such a short timeframe.

With neither the patience nor the inclination to study such micro-term trends, we turn our attention today to those on a somewhat longer timeframe. One thing we can know with a reasonable amount of certainty is that we cannot consume a finite resource indefinitely. This applies to natural resources, like oil, just as it does to things like the patience of foreign creditors.

Much ink has been spilled on the subject of Peak Oil over the past few years. Although the issue has been more recently shelved in favor of global financial crisis headlines, the situation is hardly less serious than it was back when crude hit $147 per barrel a couple of years ago. In fact, despite the temporary downturn in global energy demand, the outlook may be bleaker now than it was then.

Last year the International Energy Agency reported that worldwide decline rates were roughly twice what they had forecast just one year earlier. (The previous figure of 3.4% was revised to 6.7%.) New, comprehensive research led the IEA's chief economist, Fatih Birol, to estimate that supplies of conventional oil could begin to plateau as early as 2020...and that's, he said, "assuming that OPEC will invest in a timely manner."

In today's column, Byron King, editor of Outstanding Investments, brings us some thoughts on the resurgence of a once unpopular alternative energy source...one he believes will shine in the coming months and years...

The New Phase of Chinese Growth

Recently we claimed that borrowing your way to national prosperity is a sure-fire way to servitude and political instability. Today, we aim to prove it. To do so, we cite this article from Reuters. It suggests that China is using or should use its large holdings of US Treasury bonds as a cudgel with which to bludgeon the United States, its strategic adversary/indispensable economic partner.

Figures in the People's Liberation Army want the financiers to sell US bonds as a way of punishing Washington for selling arms to Taiwan. Mind you this might not seem like such a good idea if the bond selling triggers a run on the dollar and swift devaluation in China's forex reserves. But maybe China's arsenal of US bonds is like a pile of bullets – they're no good unless you fire them.

Of course what we're suggesting is that China accumulated US debt as both a by-product and a weapon. The huge stock of US government securities was a by-product of China's trade strategy. That strategy was to keep its currency low and gain global manufacturing market share through low labour and production costs. The result was a blizzard of US dollar trade surpluses that were reinvested into US bonds.

You could say it's China that's paid for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

But why is this bundle of bonds now a weapon? We think China's export-driven growth strategy is on its last legs. Labor unions in Europe and America – given today's political climate and high unemployment – will have the ear of politicians. And they will be saying something like this, "Make the Chinese pay!"

What they'll mean is that China will be pressured to give up its main economic weapon – currency manipulation. This has kept Chinese exports cheap all over the world and led to the gutting of American manufacturing jobs. It's made it pretty tough on exporters in Europe too. As a result of China's dollar peg, European exporters suffered doubly from a weaker US dollar. American goods were cheaper in Europe. But European goods were not cheaper in China.

So the unions and the politicians will probably not tolerate another leg of the global recession in which China gains more market share by keeping the currency peg and exporting its way to more growth (if growth is to be had). It brings us to the end-game of China's export-driven development.

It also brings us back to one of the great monetary questions of the day: when will China de-peg? The answer has always been simple: when it is in China's interests to do. To us, that means China will de-peg when the benefits of increased purchasing power in the currency are more important that dwindling export profits.

In other words, we think China is close to a new phase of growth that's driven by consumer demand, domestic consumption, and more mature Chinese capital markets open to foreign investment. A de-pegging of the currency would see a much stronger yuan. This would give Chinese savers a lot of spending power on global markets. They would also be able to buy more Chinese goods, which might lead to higher wages in China too (and more stoking of consumer demand).

This is all a theory, of course. And we could be way wrong. But there will come a day when Chinese customers are worth more to Chinese producers than American customers. De-pegging the currency will bring that day forward. And it could be sooner than you think.

This means that the accumulation of forex reserves was never really meant to protect China from external trade shocks, although they would be handy in that event. It means they were a side effect of a trade strategy whose ultimate objective was to gain as much global manufacturing market share as possible.

Now, you might wonder why China would damage its own interests by "punishing" the United States and selling bonds. But it depends on what China's interests are. If China's interests are in fundamentally weakening an economic competitor and strategic adversary, then selling US bonds is in China's interests.

China's ultimate interests are in regaining Taiwan. And we'd suggest it try and use its bond leverage to weaken US resolve about defending Taiwan. And selling US bonds or crashing the dollar wouldn't just weaken US resolve. It would expose the loss of strategic influence that occurs when you are a chronic debtor nation.

Mind you the US still has a lot of aircraft carriers, strategic bombers, and nuclear weapons. It's not like it is bereft of tools of persuasion. But the basis of all those tools has always been a strong economy, a strong industrial base, and sound finances.

The question now is, if the base of military strength has been eroded, how long will the US maintain its military advantage? Can America afford it? And when push comes to shove, will American voters demand that an American President defend Taiwan? Hmmn...

The Outlook for Geothermal Energy Stocks

Before the geothermal energy sector can generate significant steam, it may have to simmer for a while yet...

To kick off 2010, let's take a look at government-funded projects and public companies, and their various stages of success in drawing power from "hot-rock" technology.

AltaRock Deep-sixes the Geysers Project

In the U.S., geothermal company AltaRock Energy recently packed up its drill rig and called it quits on a pilot project out west. AltaRock's "Geysers" demonstration in Northern California drew nearly $36 million in interest from the U.S. Department of Energy, Google's investment arm, and venture capital firm Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers.

In December, AltaRock admitted that a breakthrough would be literally impossible: the company's drill bits were snapping as they attempted to probe caprock formations close to the surface. Without penetrating that shallow stone, deeper, high-temperature structures can't be exploited by shooting water through cracked rock to generate steam for turbines.

Aside from the drill bits failing, AltaRock and its ultra-deep geothermal technology have come under increased scrutiny for potentially creating small earthquakes. By drilling down as deep as three miles below the soil, AltaRock's methods are similar to Geothermal Explorers, a European firm now being prosecuted for causing tremors of up to 3.4 on the Richter scale below the Swiss city of Basel.

Will a Swiss court case bring AltaRock operations in the U.S. to a halt?

Well, the $6 million in federal funds that AltaRock got for its abortive effort at Geysers is just a fraction of the $25 the same company drew for a demonstration effort in Oregon. That project appears to be continuing, and the New York Times reported on December 12 that AltaRock may have pulled out of the California operation in favor of its Oregon endeavor.

We'll keep an eye on that one.

As far as government funding goes, it will take a lot more than cracked drill bits to break the Obama Adminstration's commitment to geothermal. The president and his energy team directed nearly $440 million into geothermal exploration projects in 2009.

But the thing to remember about geothermal is that the natural resource is as globally spread as the very tectonic plates that create earthquakes.

Pacific Rim Power

In Pacific Rim countries like the Philippines, we are witnessing the impressive emergence of geothermal energy companies such as Energy Development Corp., whose locally-traded stock has more than doubled in the past year.

EDC has a 150 MW geothermal plant up and running near the south of Luzon, the Philippine island chain's biggest landmass and the center of economic and political power.

Importantly, EDC does not focus on geothermal capacity exclusively — the company also has significant hydropower and wind energy operations throughout the Philippines.

Looking around the world, industry estimates put geothermal capacity growth at 9.5% per year through 2015, as illustrated in the chart below:

geothermal power growth

That growth won't just come from tectonic hotspots like the Philippines, where the volcanic eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 was a full ten times stronger than the Mount St. Helens blast in the U.S. in 1980...

Even the UK, traditionally tame when it comes to temblors, is getting into geothermal.

UK Geothermal Development

The Department of Energy and Climate Change in London is funding exploration toward a 65 MW geothermal turbine plant in Cornwall, in England's extreme southwest. That site is being developed by Geothermal Engineering, Ltd. with 1.5 million pounds in government money.

That would be Britain's second operating geothermal plant, adding to one already in Southampton where water is heated at a depth of 1.8 kilometers (about 1.12 miles).

Geothermal Engineering isn't the only company drawing funds from the Energy and Climate Change department...

EGS Energy has drawn two million for a borehole also in Cornwall, and £461,000 has been allotted to Newcastle University to bring geothermal online at the Eastgate carbon-neutral village in Durham.

All three projects are part of the UK's Deep Geothermal Challenge Fund, which aims to push British geothermal past the 5,000 shallow-earth heat pumps already installed across the country.

As for publicly-traded geothermal energy companies, U.S. Geothermal (AMEX: HTM) has moved in a tight price channel since August, and Ormat Technologies (NYSE: ORA) is dipping down from its early December high of just above $43. Ormat is a good buy at around $35 per share.

Even though you won't hear as much about it in the media as wind and solar, we'll do our best to keep you informed about progress in the geothermal sector in 2010.

Top Stocks Picks For This Week

Brace yourself for another exciting week of trading. With futures pointed higher early Monday morning, this week could bring higher numbers for top stocks with it. Or – if some traders are to be believed – a key resistance level could smash share prices back down this week, leaving them in a flaming heap on Wall Street. So, which is it?

The traders are right to be less than bullish right now. The 50-day moving average is acting as a potentially tough resistance level right now for the S&P 500 index – one that top stocks could have trouble surmounting given the mixed economic fundamentals of 2010. If we can breach the 50-day, however, the market could be ready for another rally leg.

Today is going to be the biggest tell given that the market is threatening to open right on the 50-day. Pay attention to where trading ends at 4:00 p.m. today; that's the best indicator of how to play things. Whichever way stocks go this week, we're setting up once again to make some loot with some potentially favorable penny stock plays.

In case you're not familiar, each week, The Penny Sleuth takes a look at a list of penny stocks that are exhibiting abnormal volume, strong technicals, upcoming news, or another catalyst that suggested they might be making a material move in the coming week.

As usual, while our Watchlist errs on the safe side of small-caps, using technical analysis to tell us where a stock is headed, we opened the comments up to readers again this week, giving you the chance to offer up more speculative penny stock plays.

Check out the comments after this article on the Penny Sleuth website to get a glimpse at a slew of new user-submitter penny stock picks — and the chance to submit your own!

First, though, let's take a look at this week's breakout penny stocks worth watching...

Fred's Inc. (NASDAQ: FRED) – Memphis-based Fred's operates close to 7,000 discount stores in the southeastern U.S. The chain, which focuses on serving mid-to-low income families in small towns, could make for a good play this week with a breakout above two key levels on Friday. Shares broke out above the 50-day moving average and downtrending resistance, two levels that threatened to quell Fred's recent rally. Now, with shares unbridled above that level, the potential for a significant gain is real. Wait for a second consecutive close above the blue lines before considering taking the trade.

Solutia, Inc. (NYSE: SOA) – If you've been following our daily watchlists, chemical maker Solutia shouldn't be an unfamiliar name to you. On Thursday, I told you about the bullish ascending triangle that was forming in shares of the stock, a pattern that continues to be compelling right now. A breakout above horizontal resistance marks the "buy" signal on this stock… it's just not there yet.

Navigant Consulting (NYSE: NCI) – Our sole short-side play this week is Navigant Consulting, a specialty consulting firm that assists companies address risk uncertainties. One risk uncertainty that management hasn't addressed is the bearish head and shoulders pattern that's already formed in shares. The trigger to bet against this stock is a breach of the blue shoulder line above.

ESCO Technologies (NYSE: ESE) – ESCO Technologies is an engineered product producer that's based in St. Louis, Missouri. The company's shares are currently being bounded by a triple top on the upside and a double bottom on the downside – a set-up that gives us significant protection right now. With a breakout above downtrending resistance in play, this stock could be headed higher this week.

Athens, a Canary in a Deficit Mine

So, who gets to play Lehmans in this comedic repeat...?

Isn't Greece marvellous?

Paying income tax, or any kind of tax it would seem, has been entirely optional. Which should have powered its economy like 1960s' Hong Kong.

But public spending, however, accounts for 40% of GDP. So who financed that spending if so few people paid?

Last year, only 15,000 of Greece's 11-million population declared an income above �00,000. The government only got round to making shop receipts mandatory this week. Tax evasion is thought to cost the Greek purse �5 billion per year ($20.5bn). The untaxed "shadow economy" accounts for some 25% of annual output.

"The Greek issue is a Eurozone issue," wrote Athen's finance minister in a letter to the Financial Times this week. Which is true, and not just with regard to taxation – and not just with regard to the 16-state currency zone.

Yes, untaxed business accounts for one Euro in five generated in Spain, Portugal and Italy, or so reckons one Austrian economist. But this is nothing next to the gap between income and spending now looming for pretty much the entire Western world.

Greece, in short, is but Northern Rock in this farce. The first bank to collapse – and thus the first to get rescued – it now looks a mere footnote to the historic crisis which followed. Neither the cause nor a "domino", the Rock was more than a warning. It announced the crisis was on.

The scramble for tin hats began...

On Weds 12 Sept. 2007, Northern Rock– the biggest employer in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne...sponsor of the city's football team...and the fastest-growing of the UK's fast-growing mortgage banks – ran a banner advertisement across the front-page of the national press.

It offered 6.30% interest on new deposits, then more than 250 basis points above the average return offered by High Street savings accounts. Clearly, the bank needed cash in a hurry! And come Thursday it had to arrange an emergency loan from the Bank of England. By 9am Friday, queues were forming at its branches across the country, and Northern Rock's stock promptly dumped 20%.

On the following Monday, the government effectively rescued the bank's savers, guaranteeing their deposits in full. And from then until Feb. 2008, when it finally came, nationalization was only a matter of time.

The Rock's demise wasn't the first sign of trouble. August '07 saw inter-bank interest rates jumped to a near-nine-year high. Both Bear Stearns and BNP Paribas had already closed certain mortgage-investment funds to withdrawals. A handful of smart-arses pointed to the 40-to-1 leverage at leviathan banks such as Lehmans.

Fast forward to early 2010, and the US and UK are running record peacetime public-purse deficits. Dubai last month suspended (and then restructured) repayments on a chunk of its debts. The cost of insuring government bonds against default has risen sharply for more than a month.

So...who gets to play Lehmans in this comedic repeat?

For all London's dithering and dawdling, saving the Rock was never in doubt. No politics or ideology stood in the way. But making German savers pay the wages of Greek civil servants is another thing altogether. Either the Greeks take a wage cut, or somebody stumps up, or the central bank simply prints money, or Greece will default on its debts as bond-buyers vanish.

Writ large across the developed world's spending, we'll thus need the Martians to help...or perhaps we'll ask God for a loan...if the ever-greater cradle-to-grave promises made after WWII aren't wound back before they come due. Alternatively, we could just keep printing more money.

After all, it worked to stem the crisis in banking.

"A sovereign debt crisis in the West is coming sooner or later though it is probably not right now," says Christopher Wood in his closely-followed Greed & Fear analysis for CLSA.

"This is why the recent correction in gold is an opportunity to buy more bullion and more gold mining shares" – a defense, says Wood, against the "almost inevitable Western currency debasement which will be the consequence of the increasingly untenable welfare states and related social security systems."

It wouldn't be the first time a sense of impending doom sparked a fresh move worldwide into physical gold. And until the next crisis in debt is resolved, it might not be the last either.

3 Essentials to Improve Your Penny Stock Buying Strategy

Trading penny stocks can be a tricky job. Before you begin trading micro-caps — especially stocks that do not trade on a major exchange — you need to learn how to get the shares you want at a price you're willing to pay.

Buying a stock on the NYSE is relatively easy. Nine times out of 10, you can put in a market order that will be immediately filled right at the price you want. But bulletin board issues and some of the thinner micro-caps on the NASDAQ and Amex can be a completely different animal.

When I find a penny stock that fits my buying criteria, I first look to see how it trades. If I feel the stock has enough regular trading volume, I know I should have no problem picking up shares on the open market at a favorable price. But if the stock is thinly traded, I never try to buy shares without using a limit order.

It all comes down to volume. More buyers and more market makers facilitate frequent trading, with a much smaller gap between how much a buyer is willing to pay — and how much a seller is willing to take for his shares. The smallest stocks on the market rely on fewer market makers, and can sometimes go hours or even days, without a single trade. That's why it's so important to be careful and trade smart.

Here are three quick tips to help you buy penny stocks at the price you want to pay…

Always check the bid and the ask. Every major online brokerage I've checked out has tons of extra features you probably won't find on the free financial websites out there. One of the most useful tools for the microcap trader is the real-time quote window. Pull it up and you can easily see the bid and the ask. This will give you a clear picture of how much you should pay for a stock before you buy. Remember, the current price of the stock is not necessarily the price you will need to pay to pick up shares. This number is simply the price at which the last transaction occurred.
Unless you're planning to make a quick trade, be patient! Simply put, you can sometimes get a better price by waiting. If there's an unusual amount of buying in the early morning, it will usually calm down after the first half hour of trading. This "rule" isn't carved in stone, but it is a helpful tip that could help you save a little money on your next trade.
If you're making a longer-term investment, build a position over time. You're not looking to trade, so what's the rush? Build your positions over days or weeks, instead of putting in a huge order. You'll have a better chance of getting smaller orders filled right away.

Follow these tips every time you buy penny stocks, and you'll have the opportunity to make more money. After all, isn't that what it's all about?

A Best Penny Stock Opportunity

Imagine taking just a few hundred dollars and turning it into thousands – or more – in just a short period of time.

Only the smallest, fastest-moving penny stocks could offer amazing gains like this…

That's why I have a unique opportunity to offer you…

You don't need any experience – just a little money to get started.

Profit potential like this doesn't come cheap.

In fact, my service is the most expensive advisory my publisher offers.

But to help celebrate what just happened in mid-January — I've convinced my publisher to GIVE you six months, for FREE.

This shocking offer is only good until Midnight, Friday, February 26…

Why?

Because first thing Sunday morning, February 28, I'll send a short email to my readers.

It will contain the details on a tiny company that's poised for a big, big move.

In fact, that one company I'll release to my readers could start your "30-Day Retirement Plan".

Yes, just one month and three of what I call "flash action" market moves could be your chance to turn as little as $500 into $14 million, or more.

In fact, between Jan. 11 and Jan. 13 (yep, just in the past few weeks) — you could've made millions with the strategy I'm about to reveal…

I know that sounds impossible.

I'm here to show you just how POSSIBLE it is.

Because the "30-Day Retirement" has clicked into place before.

It's only a matter of time until it happens again.

Now maybe you've seen my "30-Day Retirement Plan" offer before but never took action. That's why I've worked out a never-before-seen gift for you today…

So the question is — will a "30-Day Retirement Plan" happen to you?

Good Only Until Midnight, Friday, February 26 — Your Ticket to the "30-Day Retirement Plan"

If you chose to retire just 30 days from right now, how much money would you need?

$5 million?

$15 million?

Or maybe just $1 million?

Whatever your answer is, I'll show you how you could get there.

Imagine reaching your retirement money goal in as little as one month. Starting with just $500.

That's right. I'll show you below how in only 30 days — you could have retired rich by any measure you can imagine.

Heck, you could have even started with $250, instead of $500.

It might have just meant you ended up with $4 million, instead of $8 million. Or $6.5 million, instead of $13 million.

It doesn't matter how much money you need to retire. You can get there in less time than you ever imagined with "Flash Action" market moves.

And it's very easy to pull off.

Unbelievable wealth could be yours with a simple, yet unknown investment strategy that's not much different than buying common, big-name stocks.

I'll explain exactly how it works in a few moments. For now, I assure you this:

What I'm about to show you is 100% legal. It's safe. It's cheap.

And it's easy.

You need only three small things to get started.

Three Simple Steps to a
"30-Day Retirement"

First, you need a tiny amount of cash
Second, you need a bit of knowledge — which is what I will share with you today
Third, you need excellent timing — and a fair amount of luck.

First, I should warn you that what I'm about to show you is not for everyone. No one can predict the future, and every string of success ends with a loser.

So there is significant risk involved, but the potential for profits is limitless. And I would never recommend rolling all money invested from one play to another — as you'll see in just a moment.

The best thing is to take out part of your winnings as you go and continue with only some of the profits. That way, you keep most of your gains safe and play with the rest.

To show you how this could be possible, here's a recent example of how $500 could have turned into millions in under one month…

How 3 Simple "Flash Action" Moves Could Have Funded the "30-Day Retirement Plan"

When the markets opened Friday, Sept. 5, 2008, just $500 would've bought you 2,500 shares of Paradigm.

At the open, Paradigm traded at 20 cents per share.

By 11:22 a.m. that morning, Paradigm traded at 70 cents per share.

Had you sold at 70 cents — you would've been sitting on a 250% gain before lunchtime.

That 250% turned your $500 into $1,750… that's $875 per hour!

Not a bad two hours, right?

You make one easy move in the morning, and then sell before lunch and grab $1,750 in profits!

It's the first "flash action" step to turning $500 into millions.

Yes, this is real — and in just two more stock moves, I'll show you how you could've turned $500 into millions with the "30-Day Retirement Plan"!

I'll also show you how you could've raked in as much as $1,018,928.70 between Jan. 11 and Jan. 13 — just a few weeks ago!

First — here's Step 2 in the recent 30-Day Retirement!

"30-Day Retirement Plan" Step 2

On Thursday morning, Sept. 11, 2008, let's say you put your $1,750 in gains from Friday back into the market.

Concord Ventures had such a great morning that it could've turned your $1,750 into $175,000. All by 12:27 p.m.

That's a gain of 9,900%!

Just like with Paradigm, the move with Concord Ventures started first thing in the morning and ended by lunchtime.

And in just two simple market moves, $500 could've turned into $175,000 — in less than a week.

Now, I know what you're thinking — $175,000 is great, but it's not millions.

But just wait until you see what happens in step three of this amazing "flash action" path to easy riches!

Success! Here's How $500 Explodes Into MILLIONS for the "30-Day Retirement Plan"…

On Friday, Sept. 12, 2008, shares of Abviva rose an astounding 7,900%.

If you got in and out at the right time, the $175,000 from your earlier "30-Day Retirement" play could've exploded into $14,000,000.

Here's how this recent "30-Day Retirement Plan" worked…

PDGO on Friday, Sept. 5
CCVR on Thursday, the 11th
And ABVV on Friday, the 12th.

Yes, with timing and the right moves, it is possible to turn just $500 into millions.

In this example, all the action took place in one week with three simple "flash action" moves.

A week could change your life forever.

What Would You Do With $14 Million?

Maybe you'd quit your job and retire right away.

Or maybe you'd keep working.

You could do whatever you wanted.

Buy a house. Or pay off your current home.

Buy a fancy car. Or three. Or seven.

Travel the world. Dine in all the best restaurants.

After you were done with all that, you could even give money to family members in need — or to your favorite charities.

Here's a recent "30-Day Retirement Plan" spree that could've made you as much as $1,018,928.70 in just days!

On January 11, 2010, International Silver (ISLV) rose an incredible 4,905%. That's enough to turn just $500 into $25,025!

Then, on Tuesday, Jan. 12, ComCam Inc. (CMCA) went up 483.33% in just 5 hours and 6 minutes. If you'd had the incredible luck and timing to get in and out at the right moments, that gain could've turned your $25,025 into a staggering $145,978. It's like paying yourself over $23,716 an hour!

Finally — wait until you see this — on Wed., Jan. 13, 2010, Wishart Enterprises Ltd. (WSHA) went up 598% — turning your $145,978 into as much as $1,018,928.70.

There it is — three simple "flash action" moves between Jan. 11 and Jan. 13, 2010, and over $1.018 million in potential profits. It's incredibly fast! The "30-Day Retirement Plan" is always in motion!

Sock away a ton of money for retirement or unforeseen future medical expenses.

It would be completely up to you. Because with a huge influx of cash would come something even more valuable.

Freedom.

Freedom from worry about what might happen tomorrow or next year. Freedom from ever running out of money. Freedom from whatever shackled you to a lifestyle you might not like.

Freedom to do exactly what you want, whenever you wanted to.

Now imagine the chance to start putting all your grandest plans, all your biggest dreams, into motion beginning with as little as just $500.

Moves like these can happen. They have happened.

They'll happen again. The question is — will this happen to you?

I've already shown how just three of what I call "flash action" market moves could change your life.

But I'm just getting started! Here are some more examples…

You really don't even need $500 to become rich with these amazing little stocks.

Heck, you could start with just $250 if you wanted to.

The key is you have to look in the right place.

Now, the gains I'm showing you don't come from the NYSE or the Nasdaq.

But that doesn't mean you have to miss out on the profit potential of these "flash action" gainers!

In fact, if you reply before Midnight, Friday, February 26 – you'll be among the first to receive my next "flash action" alert

In about five minutes, you could get started working toward your own version of the "30-Day Retirement"!

Yep, just $250 could start you on the path to retirement riches. Simply, legally and very, very quickly.

Here's what I mean.

Your Investment of $250
Plus One Move = The "30-Day Retirement Plan" Pays You $21,871 in Just Four Hours

On Thursday, Sept. 4, 2008, Genesis Pharma went from 24 cents per share all the way up to $21 by 1:24 p.m.

Had you grabbed shares at the open, just $500 would've bought 2,083 shares of GNPH.

At $21 per share on Thursday afternoon — you would've been sitting on $43,243 in total profits.

This is less than 24 hours — heck, it's less than half a work day, and over $21,600 in easy possible "flash action" profits with just $250 to start!

Here's another example. On Wednesday, September 9, 2009, Gold Standard Mining Corp (GSTP) went up 513% in just 2 hours and 49 minutes.

With $250 to start — you could've made as much as $1,532.50 in total profits — all before lunchtime!

Gains like this one happen every single day. But you have to look in the right place.

As I mentioned earlier, you'll never find these gains on the big exchanges.

The reason gains like GNPH go missed day after day might make you scratch your head.

See, most stock watchers would rather put money in blue chip stocks and hope for small gains year over year that barely beat inflation.

These people are working on a 50-year retirement plan.

Good for them. History has shown it works.

But those people are losing out big-time!

Because they're missing all the best gains — quick, aggressive gains that are right under their nose every single trading day.

And once you start grabbing these hidden gains, you could be well on your way to a "30-Day Retirement." I'm even prepared to give you a never-before-seen gift today to get you started! But first…

Which would you choose? In as little as 30 days, "flash action" stocks like the ones I'm showing you could put you on easy street for the rest of your life.

You can forget waiting. Hoping. Trying to beat inflation.

Because the smallest, most hidden stocks out there can also be the most lucrative.

Here's why…

"Flash Action" Stocks = "30-Day Retirement" Stocks

All the amazing "flash action" gains you've seen so far come from Bulletin Board stocks.

They're the smallest of the small.

They're even smaller than your best penny stock.

That's TINY.

But some of the companies trading on the Bulletin Board listing services are the Microsofts, IBMs, Intels and Amgens of tomorrow.

Bulletin Board stocks are the household-name stocks of the next decade.

These are the kinds of stocks that could fund an entire retirement in just 30 days. Stocks that can make an incredible $10,000 or more per hour.

And you can begin chasing your own "30-Day Retirement" with these tiny stocks today.

To get you started, I want you to accept an exclusive "flash action" trading alert I'm set to send right to you.

Inside, I'll tell you the name of my latest "30-Day Retirement Plan" target.

To guarantee you receive my next "flash action" pick — you must respond to this note from me today no later than Midnight, Friday, February 26.

You need this alert so you can start on the road to "flash action" profits as soon as possible.

I'll tell you all about this e-mail alert in just a minute.

But before I jump into how I hunt for huge gains from these small stocks, there are a few things I need to point out.

Bulletin Board stocks sometimes trade only a few thousand shares per day.

Big companies like Microsoft, for example, trade around 84 million shares per day.

And Intel usually trades around 70 million shares per day.

All that trading and all those available shares mean share prices really don't move very much in a given day.

But a ton of activity in a tiny stock can sometimes send the share price jumping all over the place — up and down. That's why…

I will teach you exactly how to safely build and monitor positions in "flash action" stocks.

You also need to sort out which companies are real and which ones are lame and empty.

You need to dig around. Find out all there is to know. Get the inside scoop on profit margins, costs and growth.

This is exactly what I do. I scour the Bulletin Boards for potential "flash action" companies — the strong, solid, growing companies. I'll even give you all my information on some of the best Bulletin Board stocks today
I'll tell you exactly what potential "flash action" shares I think you should buy, when and for how much. And when the time comes, I'll tell you exactly when to sell…
Using my recommendations, you could profit from "flash action" moves
Simply agree to receive my next alert before Midnight, Friday, February 26 and you'll be ready to start your own "30-Day Retirement Plan"!

I break these potential "flash action" stocks down to their atoms, show you how they work and how you could potentially make them pay for your own "30-Day Retirement."

Along the way, you could make huge amounts of easy money, sometimes overnight.

You've probably already figured it out — but that's why I call these amazing little stocks "flash action" movers.

Before you know it, just a tiny bit of cash could jump up to hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars!

Sometimes, huge "flash action" gains pile up in the markets one day to the next!

For example, here's an even FASTER "flash action" bonanza that occurred in the markets recently…

Turn $500 Into $336,500 in Two Days — Faster "Flash Action" Gains!

On the morning of Sept. 15, 2008, shares of China Biopharma rose an astounding 9,900% — in just three hours!

That's enough to turn $500 into $50,000!

Then — the next day — First Quantum Ventures shot up 573%.

That's enough to have turned $50,000 into $336,500!

Imagine that… Starting with just $500 one morning and sitting on up to $336,500 the next afternoon!

That's FAST "flash action" market moves at work.

See how easy it could be to fund your entire retirement off just 30 days of playing the right "flash action" market moves at the right time?

These moves happen all the time. Every day!

So are you ready to start grabbing your share of these incredible gains?

It's so cheap to get started, as I've shown, that it's a shame everyone who ever bought a share of stock isn't grabbing these impressive "flash action" movers!

That begs the question… so why isn't everyone doing this?

It all boils down to home runs versus strikeouts.

Here's what I mean…

"Flash Action" Home Runs Are So Massive, They Easily Make up for the Strikeouts

Famous baseball star Hank Aaron hit 755 home runs during his illustrious 23-year career.

But do you know how many times he struck out? 1,383 times.

That's almost two strikeouts for every single home run.

For every major success, he averaged two failures.

And that's pretty much how the stocks I'm writing about to you today work too.

You should expect some strikeouts. The best investors expect them.

This means you should never put money down on these impressive little stocks that you need to pay the mortgage or keep the lights on.

I'm not trying to steal my own thunder here — I'm simply talking reality.

But when just $500 could start you on the path to incredible wealth, the risk is limited.

And the home runs could more than make up for the strikeouts. Many, many times over.

Yes, it's true that you need precisely targeted moves to take advantage of the right three "flash action" moves to make millions.

And it's also true that amazing timing is a factor too.

It's my job to alert you to the best "flash action" opportunities — exactly the ones that could put you on your way to your own "30-Day Retirement."

See, even with all the caveats about "flash action" stocks taken into account, I cannot ignore the fact that there's money out there — money literally floating around the markets each day — that with the right information and a little determination you could grab and use to fund your dreams — maybe even use to fund a $10,000 per hour 30-Day Retirement!

Once Again — Just So We're Clear About How Special "30-Day Retirement" Stocks Really Are…

Once again, I really must stress — "30-Day Retirement" stocks move so fast and are so powerful — if you're going to play, you MUST expect some strikeouts.

With stocks that trade so few shares and can return profits THIS huge, even the best researchers go through hot spells and cold spells.

The key to a successful "30-Day Retirement" is staying smart, staying safe, and letting your "homeruns" ride off into the stars with huge gains!

That's exactly the power my profitable email alerts give you!

Simply agree to receive my next alert before Midnight Friday, February 26, and you could start making some serious gains…FAST!

How much you could make is really up to you.

Because "30-Day Retirement" money is there for the taking!

You just have to know how to grab it!

Here's another example of the kind of money I'm talking about — and this one's the fastest gain yet!

So far, I've shown you how a savvy investor could have made $14,000,000 in a week. Then I showed how an investor could have made $336,500 in two days!

If you thought those gains were great — this one will knock you out! It's just another example of HUGE cash that can be made from hidden, "flash action" moves in the market.

1,400% Gain in 30 Minutes — Lightning Quick
"Flash Action" Profit

By 10:00 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 18, 2008 — shares of USR Technology Inc. had risen 1,400% since the 9:30 open.

1,400% in half an hour — easy as pie.

That's $500 into $7,500 all before mid-morning coffee time.

It's safe. It's easy. It's cheap.

All you need is the right stocks at the right time.

And I'll tell you how to start today.

And how to receive my next alert — complete with a tiny company that could start your own "30-Day Retirement".

But before I tell you how to get my next alert and start your own "flash action" gains, I should introduce myself.

54,900 Members Read My Profit Alerts — But Here's Why They Can't Act On What I'm Offering Today

My name is Greg Guenthner.

I began my career years ago as a government reporter.

After years of traveling the east coast of the U.S. and spending time in dozens of newsrooms, I started to read the investment classics.

I quickly learned that I had a real knack for picking winning stock ideas.

It wasn't long before I ended up working for a respected financial publishing firm in downtown Baltimore, Maryland.

Today, I lead the revolutionary small stocks newsletter, Penny Stock Fortunes.

With over 54,900 monthly readers, I've pointed the way to gains like 45% in just one day and 100% in just a few months in 2008.

2009 was EVEN better. I cashed out gains like 33%, 47%, 39%, 58%, 279% — even 61% in just a few weeks!

And just since the start of 2010 my readers could've cashed out gains on a small company called Sierra Wireless (SWIR)!

Now I don't mean to brag, I'm just telling you so you know I know what I'm doing.

I also know you're probably a market-watcher who demands gains even bigger than the comparatively small profits possible with best penny stocks — even though they can sometimes rise 250% or more in days.

I know there are people out there who want to swing for the fences.

I know you exist. I know what you want.

And for too long, because I have so many readers, I had to let the "flash action" stock ideas that cross my desk slip away.

Like I mentioned before, these tiny "flash action" stocks sometimes trade very few shares per day.

If I released a "flash action" stock ticker to my 54,900 readers — the stock could go nuts. All heck could break loose. The price might even go up artificially.

And that's no good. Still, I couldn't possibly let lucrative "30-Day Retirement Plan" ideas get away.

So I started an elite, for-serious-readers letter called Bulletin Board Elite.

Recently, Bulletin Board Elite Has Returned Gains of…

100% in just four months
45% in just ONE DAY
50% in only a few months
Plus, I just closed a 130% gain a few days ago — that's more than double your money!

And as of February 17, 2010, Open Positions Include…

A strong string of open (and moving) gains like 18% and 50%

Now, those gains aren't bad. I'm proud of them — especially in our current market environment.

"Flash Action" Hall of Fame: $4,760 Turned Into $639,500… Then $1.52 MILLION

Hansen Natural's a giant in fruit and energy drinks.

4,000 shares of HANS on Aug. 18, 1995 meant a total outlay of $4,760.

By July 2005, HANS traded at $92.40 a share.

Had you sold at $92.40, your $4,760 would've been worth $369,600! That's good for a gain of 7,650%!

Then, by June 2006, HANS traded at $190.37 a share after a 2-for-1 split.

8,000 shares were now worth $1,522,010.
That's more than $1.5 million from $4,760, or a lifetime gain of an absolutely staggering 31,875%.

You've now seen "flash action" moves at work. You've seen how just a few hundred dollars to start could turn into incredible sums.

I've shown you how to make $14 million in a week, $336,500 in two days, even 1,400% gains in 30 minutes!

And now you've seen how a "buy and hold" play like HANS could make you a millionaire too! The opportunities here are overwhelming!

So you know the stocks I target. You know the blueprint for gains.

Now it's time for you to cash in on these little "30-Day Retirement" gems for yourself…
