Dear Investor,

In case you haven't heard...

These days there's a brand new way to retire rich.  

It’s all thanks to something we call Extreme Income Investing.

It’s safe, simple, and yes, extremely profitable.

That’s because Extreme Income Investing gives you what ordinary dividend investing can’t...

The chance to virtually “triple your profits” on just about every income investment you make.

It starts with wallet busting dividend yields of 8.8%, 9.6%, and even 19.9%!

And then it takes your income investing to a whole another level...

Helping you capture gains of 171%, 289%, and even 486% on those very same dividend paying stocks.

Interested?

Here’s what you need to know...

You see what most folks don’t realize is that when it comes to dividend paying stocks, there are two ways you can invest...

One provides you a respectable stream of income...

The other could make you rich beyond what you ever imagined...

In fact, that’s exactly what happened to a gentleman named Al Jones.

Not too long ago Mr. Jones became an Extreme Income Investor and that one move helped him pocket over $500,000... in just under three years.

And he’s not the only one...

Other investors who made this simple change have been cashing in as well. I’m talking about some cash-rich dividends right along side wealth building gains...

Gains like...

	179% in just 35 days
	143% in just 64 days
	121% in just 55 days

No wonder Extreme Income Investing is quickly becoming the #1 retirement secret in America...

Right now by simply becoming an Extreme Income Investor you could be collecting some of the biggest dividend payouts of your life...

Plus...

The chance to pocket some hefty double- and triple-digit returns.

That’s because this strategy goes far beyond your typical buy and hold income plan.

It all comes together in my elite weekly trading service, called the Skousen High-Income Alert.

It’s dynamic, fast moving, and incredibly profitable...

Giving you the investor, double and sometimes even triple the payout you might expect from any ordinary investment plan...

So exactly how does Extreme Income Investing work?

Let me show you...

Not too long ago I recommended a natural resources company called Southern Copper Corp. to my readers.

For the past few decades Southern Copper has quietly been building one of the largest copper reserves and mining enterprises in the world.

With interests in Chile, Peru, and Mexico, this natural resource powerhouse also has a long history of sharing the wealth with its stockholders.

Which is why when China and India started buying up all the copper they could find, I recommended Southern Copper Corp. to my Skousen High-Income Alert readers.

In less than 4 months we pocketed a hefty dividend yield of 7%.

If you had owned 1,000 shares you would have received a nice check totaling $1,460 direct from Southern Copper Corp.

5,000 shares?

You would have cashed in with a virtual windfall of $7,300.

But it didn’t end there...

You see inside that email sent out to my subscribers, I also issued another detailed set of instructions regarding Southern Copper Corp.

That recommendation handed some folks an additional 226% in gains.

And that’s exactly what Extreme Income Investing is all about...

Big dividend payouts PLUS big gains...

Those are the kind of results that could lead you to an early retirement...

Or if you’re already retired, Extreme Income Investing could help make your “golden” years cash-rich and worry- free.

Let me tell you a little more about it...

Extreme Income Investing is unlike any income investing strategy out there today...

It all has to do with my unique formula that lets me zero in the on the most profitable and cash-rich companies in the world.

Companies geared toward paying you huge dividends.

And then my Extreme Income Investing strategy goes one wealth-building step further...

Because right along side those profitable income plays, I actively trade those same positions for big capital gains.

Taking it goes far beyond any typical buy and hold income strategy.

For example...

In addition to a cash dividend payout, some of my readers also captured a 19% gain on my Southern Copper Corp recommendation.

A nice solid return to boost your portfolio.

But it didn’t end there...

For my more aggressive investors, I also recommended buying call options on Southern Copper Corp.

That’s the position that rocketed 226%.

The best part?

The dividends, the stock gains, and the option windfall all happened in just over 3 months.

Amazing.

And that’s not all.

You see all this income and these kinds of gains are happening over and over again...

For example...

Some of my Skousen High-Income Alert readers were also able to capture these great wins...

A 9% yield on a Business Development Company (BDC) called American Capital Strategies. Including a 14% return PLUS... a 72% gain on an options trade.

On a pick called Hospitality Properties Trust, readers pocketed a 7% dividend yield (which totaled a wallet busting $2.21 share!)... a 14.2% gain... AND... a 71% windfall on an options trade.

Once again my readers pocketed all the income and captured all the gains within a matter of months... not years.

Now can you see why my Extreme Income Investing goes far beyond an ordinary buy and hold income strategy?

It could literally end your money worries forever.

That’s because this kind of stock picking strategy matched with tactical trading techniques gives you “real money in your wallet” and “real cash in the bank” results.

I know of no other dividend investment strategy that can even come close to matching what Extreme Income Investing does.

In fact right now, my Skousen High-Income Alert readers are averaging 18.2% gains every 70 days.

Simply put, Skousen High-Income Alert takes the very best of income investing, growth investing, and smart option plays and combines them all into one easy to use, easy to follow, and highly profitable service.

No wonder why it’s quickly becoming the new way to grow rich in America...

How to Get Bigger Returns and More Income... Virtually Every Time You Invest Identifying Market Trends and Investment Opportunities for the last 29 years... In the March 2009 issue of Forecasts & Strategies we predicted the exact bottom of the market and told subscribers that "stocks are a screaming buy." The Dow gained 7.8% for the month of March -- the Dow's first positive month after six straight losers. The results almost every investment in our portfolio was up, and some sharply, by as much as 40%. In 2007, I warned about the possibility of a continued dollar crisis and urged my readers to maintain a 10% position on gold and commodity funds. As predicted the dollar lost more than 13% of its value against the Euro and Japanese yen and gold shot up more than 56% and oil and copper went on to hit new highs. In 2006, more than two years before the financial meltdown, I warned subscribers that "we are headed for fiscal disaster" and showed them how to protect themselves. In January 2000, I warned my readers that "tech stocks are severely overvalued" -- just weeks before the NASDAQ plunged 35%. With some exceptions, we avoided much of the tech collapse. I told subscribers in 1995 that the NASDAQ would double... and then double again. And that's exactly what it did. I called the Gulf War of 1990 "a turning point for U.S. stocks." The Dow subsequently began a bull market that didn't end for nearly ten years. And just 41 days before the stock market crash of 1987 -- I issued a "sell everything" recommendation. Then, I told investors to get back into the market within the next year... Let me properly introduce myself... My name is Mark Skousen. I'm a professional economist, financial advisor, former university professor, and the author of more than 20 books including the financial bestsellers The Complete Guide to Financial Privacy, High Finance on a Low Budget, Scrooge Investing, and The Power of Economic Thinking. Midwest Book Review called my 2007 release of The Big 3 in Economics, "a work of impeccable scholarship.” And Alexander Green, Chairman of the Oxford Club and Investment U, said my recent book Investing in One Lesson was "destined to be a classic." I have lived in eight nations and have traveled and lectured extensively throughout the United States as well as 65 other countries around the world. In addition, early in my career my role as a key economic analyst for the C.I.A has given me a unique perspective into both the U.S. and international markets. I've also been a consultant to IBM, Hutchinson Technology, and other Fortune 500 companies and was a columnist for Forbes magazine. I have had articles published in The Wall Street Journal and have appeared on ABC News, CNBC, CNN, C-SPAN Book TV, and Fox News with Neil Cavuto. Keep in mind I'm not telling you all this to blow my own horn. Instead I want to show you how my education, experience, and financial know-how has enabled me to predict and profit from some of the market's biggest investment trends on the planet... For the past few decades I've shared those insights in my advisory newsletter service called Forecasts &Strategies. Today Forecasts &Strategies is considered by many to be one of the nation's most highly regarded investment publications. But what you may not know is that a few years back I developed a brand new trading service, a service geared toward investors who wanted more... The chance for bigger returns... and more ways to profit from high-income opportunities. It all came together when I began publishing the "best of the best” of these opportunities in a weekly alert service called the Skousen High-Income Alert. It's a unique investment service unlike any trading philosophy or investment strategy around today. But more importantly -- it works no matter what's going on in the stock market...

What makes my Extreme Income Investing so remarkable is that it's one strategy you can count on even when the markets go bad...

Take, for example the spring of 2008...

That's when the subprime mess was beginning to unravel and the near collapse of Bear Sterns was making front page news...

You see while most folks were glued to CNBC trying to figure out what to do next...

Those investors following my Extreme Income Investing strategy were cashing in with three profitable plays...

It all started with my first alert that went out on 3/11/08.

In that email I told my Skousen High-Income Alert readers about a stock called the Enerplus Resources Fund. A fund which just so happened to be paying out a generous 12% dividend yield.

Then as an added bonus, readers were also able to cash in on an additional 10% in capital gains.

My second email on 3/20/08 alerted readers to the Bank of Montreal which was gearing up to pay shareholders a 7% yield. (By the way -- we also booked a 9% return on the pick.)

The third alert?

Well let's say the checks and the gains just kept coming...

That's because just days later on 3/25/08, I recommended The Blackstone Group. That financial services company paid out an 8% yield... plus another 16% in gains.

And the best part to all this?

Even as the market was beginning to unravel...

All those gains and all those dividends were captured in just 90 days and it happened while the Dow lost 7%.

So think about it...

If you had a 1,000 share stake in each of those recommendations, you would have collected a series of checks delivered right to your mailbox totaling $1,840.

2,500 shares? A $4,600 payout that would have taken virtually no effort on your part.

Remember... that's not even counting the capital gains.

And that's not all...

Remember how the financial news was getting worse and worse at the end of 2008?

Consumer confidence was plummeting... the housing market was at a virtual stand still and... the unemployment rate was growing by numbers not seen in decades...

Well I was able to wrap up some early holiday gifts for my readers...

Gifts in the form of some much needed gains...

That's because inside all that that bad news I saw the perfect opportunity for my readers to pick up some big and fast wins.

In fact, with some recommended positions I made in late November and early December my readers were able to really cash in, including a...

	44% gain on Southern Peru Copper in just 15 days and...
	77% gain on Banco Santander in just 28 days...

But it didn't end there...

2009 is turning out to be a great year for Skousen High Income Alert subscribers...

Month after month it’s been all about more income and more gains...

	In January we booked a 10% and 11% gain on 2 positions we had held for less than 55 days each.
	In February we captured another 17% on a Master Limited Partnership called Terra Nitrogen.
	In March my recommendation on Barnes & Noble call options helped my subscribers pocket a 46% gain.
	In April we captured a 9% dividend yield on a REIT called Equity Residential Properties.
	Then in May we were able to book a 37% return which included a 4% dividend yield payout... once again thanks to the world’s largest internet bookstore, Barnes & Noble.
	And in June, I was able to hand my subscribers the biggest 24 hour investment jackpot of their lives... On June 2nd we booked a 486% gain on call options for Kinder Morgan Management...
	That same day we handed our subscribers a 289% win on a Hong Kong ETF...
	Then on June 3rd we captured a 171% gain on Colonial Properties Trust... Three big, triple-digit wins and all within less than 48 hours!

And while we don't have a 100% win rate each and every time... our gains have been able to far outpace our losses.

It all adds up to impressive double-digit returns year after year.

In fact as I write this, since I began recommending positions in Skousen High-Income Alert four-and-a-half years ago, our average return per trade is 18.2%.

Compare that with the S&P 500 which is now down 18% during that same time period.

So I have just one question to ask...

Is your current income strategy giving you these kinds of yields PLUS these kinds of gains?

Chances are it’s not.

The truth is you just can’t rely on an ordinary buy and hold income strategy anymore.

Right now there are some incredible opportunities in the market and if you’re looking for a smart and easy way to rebuild your portfolio and get your retirement back on track, my Extreme Income Investing and Skousen High-Income Alert may be just what you’re looking for.

So exactly how does Extreme Income Investing work, and more importantly how can you start cashing in on these kinds of opportunities?

Here's what you need to know...

At the core of Extreme Income Investing is a 3-tier principled approach for giving you big returns and more and more income...

Principle #1:
Use multi-ratio criteria to identify the very best income opportunities

I do a full in depth financial analysis to uncover enterprises that are cash rich, have solid balance sheets, and that have a distinct and competitive advantage over the rest of the industry.

Next I dig deep into the patterns and policies behind their dividend payouts...

Are they required by law to make the payout as in the case of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Oil and Gas Trusts, Master Limited Partnerships, or BDCs?

How long have they been paying dividends?

What's their payout ratio?

Do they have a rising dividend history?

I spend hours crunching numbers and doing all the heavy duty analysis so you don't have to.

I'm looking for profitable, growing, and rock solid enterprises -- enterprises with a history of paying their shareholders more and more money.

And then finally as part of my review, I add another critical ratio into the mix.

I don't want to give away too much about it here -- that wouldn't be fair to my paid subscribers -- but here's what I can tell you...

This is a ratio that can literally "look into the future" and help define those companies that are poised for explosive growth.

Making it a great tool for separating the "best of the best" companies and funds.

Interestingly enough, after 30 years in this business I know very few analysts who use this ratio when reviewing stock picks.

I call this ratio my secret weapon because it helps add a huge margin of safety on every trade I recommend.

Which brings me to my next step in our 3 tier approach...

Principle #2:
Time the entry and exit of the trade for maximum gains

What makes Skousen High-Income Alert so unique is that I'm not just looking for rock solid businesses that offer big dividend payouts...

Remember the point of my service is to give you more...

Double and sometimes even triple the payout through big and fast capital gains.

Here's how it works...

Once I find a great income producing pick I closely monitor it to determine the best time to buy in.

I'm looking for opportunities that are temporarily undervalued.

A good example is when intense sector negativity is pulling down the true valuation of an individual company...

Remember those high dividend yields of 7%, 8%, and 12%, plus those gains of 9%, 10%, and 16%?

Well part of that payout came from a bank and a financial services company.

You see, while the rest of the world was dumping their financial stocks, my readers were able to pocket some great dividend payouts plus some very respectable short term gains from a sector no one else would touch.

But finding deeply undervalued stocks is only part of the story...

That's because on the sell side I closely monitor the picks and wait and watch for the best possible exit point so you close out with some big capital gains.

And since we all know not every trade is perfect, I also use a smart stop-loss approach to minimize any losses.

And for my readers who like to take a more aggressive approach to investing, Skousen High-Income Alert offers even more opportunity for bigger and faster returns...

Principle #3:
Use option plays for even bigger short term gains

With every Skousen High-Income Alert pick you have the chance to enjoy high returns... or spectacular higher-risk returns.

You can take the more conservative approach and simply buy the stock or choose a more aggressive way to invest by buying the accompanying options.

At this point, you might be thinking... Mark, this sounds great, but what about the risk of using call options?

Okay, let me address that...

The truth is, call options are really very easy to trade, they're not expensive, and if used prudently as a part of your overall growth strategy, can be very profitable!

That's because options are highly leveraged investments that can multiply the move in the stock many times over.

However this kind of trading is not for everybody and you should carefully weigh the risk of loss against the profit potential, and also consider if they're right for your investment objectives.

That said, at times the financials of a company and the state of the broad market collide to present to us the "perfect options play."

I'm always on the look out for these opportunities because the gains can be nothing short of life changing...

That's what happened when I recommended some AT&T call options to my Skousen High-Income Alert readers.

Not only were we able to capture a dividend payout of $0.33 a share, our 5-cent call options rocketed to $0.85 cents...

That's a 1,600% gain!

That means investors who plunked down $5,000 on that trade walked away with a whopping $85,000!

And it all came together in just 55 days.

Now, of course, those kinds of gains aren't typical -- but it does illustrate what's possible when dealing with blockbuster opportunities in bargain-basement stocks.

The bottom line is this...

It really doesn't matter where your retirement portfolio stands right now. Inside Skousen High-Income Alert you'll find everything you need to generate a wealth filled future...

In fact, I believe that once you have the chance to tap into these kinds of returns plus the big dividend payouts that are the focus of Skousen High-Income Alert, you may very well never want to invest the same old way again.

Earlier I mentioned earlier how since my Skousen High-Income Alert was launched my recommendations have been averaging 18.2% on all closed investments.

You see this is not a typical buy and hold income strategy.

We’re actively trading our picks for maximum gains, which enables us to capture those 18.2% average gains every 70 days...

The fact is, averaging those kinds of gains and having them happen so quickly can literally change your financial future.

Which means Skousen High-Income Alert may very well be the one way, perhaps the only way for you to get your retirement plans back on track.

And, you can start today...

As I mentioned earlier...

What makes Extreme Income Investing and my Skousen High-Income Alert service so unique is that by using a smart combination of profitable investment techniques you have the chance to gain on so many levels...

But if you are interested in taking a more active role in building a wealth filled future...
