Skousen High-Income Alert - Visitor Information

The historic Wall Street collapse -- which has seen the Dow plummet from a high of 14,000 all the way below 7,400 -- has created an unprecedented buying opportunity.

In fact... I'm confident that this is the greatest buying opportunity for income investors in history.

And what's more -- taking advantage of this extraordinary opportunity couldn't be any easier when you use my unique strategy that is perfect for this market environment.

Already -- within the past few weeks alone -- my subscribers have taken advantage of this scenario to bank short-term gains of 44.4%, 76.9%, and 86.1% using this strategy.

In the weeks ahead, I'm anticipating another half-dozen or more blockbuster recommendations that could dwarf the returns of those winners I just described.

And that's why I'm writing you today. I want you to be a part of this historic buying opportunity before it passes you by.

I call my approach to this historic income investing opportunity the "Double-Dividend Strategy" because it enables you get both extraordinary income... AND enormous capital gains potential.

It's a strategy I designed specifically to take advantage of the market we're currently in... and we've already seen this strategy beginning to pay off handsomely...

Now I'm writing you today to tell you how you can do the very same thing -- and in the process take advantage of the greatest buying opportunity I've ever seen.

All by investing in bargain-basement, high-paying opportunities with explosive capital gains potential...

The investment strategy that I've been using so successfully is built on a solid foundation.

You see... it incorporates many of the same key elements of success and safety used by some of the world's greatest investors.

I'm talking about "Hall of Famers" like Benjamin Graham, Charlie Munger, Kenneth Fisher, Sir John Templeton... and even Warren Buffett.

And famous economist John Maynard Keynes used a key element of the "Double-Dividend Strategy" to beat the market by a 9-to-1 margin for 20 years. (See box below.)

Now while I may not agree with all of Keynes' ideas on economic policy... I do agree with the essential piece of his strategy that helped him become one of the greatest investors of all-time:

Buying undervalued companies that are awash with cash... whose margins are rising... and -- most importantly -- offering high yields.

That simple idea -- used by Keynes, Buffett, and so many other investment legends -- is what we're putting to work for us today in my Skousen High-Income Alert... my unique trading service that's averaging nearly 20% returns on all closed positions since inception.

How John Maynard Keynes Built One of the
Most Spectacular Track Records in History

Most people know John Maynard Keynes as a famous British economist considered by many to be one of the most influential economists of the 20th century.

His ideas on interventionist policies have helped guide many governments through both recessions and prosperity for decades.

But Keynes is more than just a legendary economist... he is also one of the greatest investors of all time.

In fact, Keynes beat the market by an astounding 9-to-1 margin over a period of 20 years!

Performance of Chest Fund for King's College, managed by John Maynard Keynes from 1924 until his death in 1946. Keynes grew the fund from an initial £30,000 to more than £380,000 -- a remarkable accomplishment for the Depression Era.

Most remarkably, Keynes made his mark as an investor during the Great Depression.

And while we may not want to admit it... the lessons of that era have become very relevant to investors in today's market.

So what was the key to Keynes' success?

Keynes was a master of buying at the bottom.

He bought high-dividend paying stocks of undervalued companies. He even bought them on margin.

And in the process... he made a fortune.

In 1932 Keynes started buying preferred shares of big utility holding companies in the United States.

"They are now hopelessly out of favor with American investors and deeply depressed below their real value," he said at the time.

Keynes looked for companies that were awash with cash... whose margins were rising...and -- most importantly -- were yielding 15% or higher. In fact, Keynes even went so far as to buy a handful of high dividend-paying stocks on margin.

No less an authority than Warren Buffett has publicly acknowledged Keynes's influence on him, saying in a report to his shareholders that Keynes was a man, "whose brilliance as a practicing investor matched his brilliance in thought."

Keynes' strategy was simple -- and it was wildly successful. He used it to grow his money more than ten-fold in just a little more than two decades' time.

And if Keynes were alive today, I have no doubt that he would be on every television and radio program available, screaming about what a great buying opportunity we're facing at this very moment!

In just a moment, I'll tell you how you can take advantage of my proven -- and highly successful -- "Double-Dividend Strategy" -- starting today.

First, though, there's one more important point I need to explain -- and that is...

Why NOW is the Greatest Buying Opportunity
in History For Income Investors

Why do I consider this to be the greatest buying opportunity in history for income investors?

First... dividend yields are extraordinarily high.

The S&P is right now providing a yield higher than the 10-year Treasury bond for the first time since 1958. In other words... investors can get better yields from stocks than bonds... with the added "bonus" of potential capital gains.

Of course, the fact that yields are high also means that share prices are low... which tells me there are some outstanding companies available at a deep, deep discount.

Take a look at the chart below:

That chart sums up perfectly what my "Double-Dividend Strategy" is all about:

Strong companies that pay high dividends haven't just "outperformed" non-dividend-paying stocks... they've absolutely buried them.

But there's more...

Market historians look back and call the market low of 1982 perhaps the single, greatest buying opportunity of the 20th century.

At its low point that year, the average stock in the Dow Jones Industrial Average sold for just eight times earnings and yielded 6%.

But take a look at today...

Those very same opportunities are available again.

Of the open positions in my High-Income Portfolio as of this writing... the average position sells for eight times earnings... and yields 7%.

Simply put – our high-yield trades are going gangbusters... and we're collecting a boatload of dividends, too.

Despite the horrific January market, the worst in history, (DJIA down 9%) our closed stock positions were up 13%!

We're making those kinds of gains by putting the heart of the "Double-Dividend Strategy" to work for us:

The way to land "big gains" is by investing in undervalued companies with strong yields.

And there are plenty of those to go around.

I'm talking about strong companies -- with solid balance sheets -- that are paying out double-digit yields... and in some cases more than 20%.

But here's the "catch"...

You have to know where to look to spot these companies whose dividends are secure -- big companies, public utilities... and even large consumer stocks.

And that's precisely where the Skousen High-Income Alert comes in. Using my system, I personally identify those companies that have an appropriate margin of safety... and the ability to deliver impressive short-term returns.

You see, that's the silver lining that came along with the recent bear market ...

Right now -- at this very moment -- there are dozens of strong companies that are grossly undervalued... who are paying out impressive dividends... and who figure to do so for a long time to come.

It's that combination of these once-in-a-lifetime bargains along with historic double-digit dividends that makes for such an incredible buying opportunity.

But I must warn you...

You'll Need to Hurry -- This Window Could Slam Shut Within the Next Three Months

The enormous opportunity we have in front of us right now with dividend-paying stocks will not last forever.

Here's why a turnaround might be in order:

According to the legendary late Milton Friedman, Nobel Laureate in economics, a major shift in monetary policy in reaction to a crisis typically brings a recovery in six to twelve months' time -- and policy started to shift in September.

Using Friedman's calendar... we could begin to see a turnaround as early as this spring.

And as the turnaround begins... it will become tempting for investors to jump back into the U.S. stock market quickly in the hopes of making up for their 2008 losses. This will drive prices up quickly.

Such a turnaround could be the catalyst for our window of opportunity slamming shut... so it's important that we watch the situation closely... and make hay while we can!

How You Can Put My "Double-Dividend Strategy"
to Work for You... Starting Today

Let me step back for just a moment to review our situation...

We're in the midst of what I consider the single greatest buying opportunity in history for dividend-paying stocks. Never has there been a market filled with so many strong, high-dividend-paying companies available at deep, deep discounts...
To take advantage of these extraordinary opportunities, we use a proven, successful strategy -- I call it the "Double-Dividend Strategy" -- that's based on the principles used by some of the most successful investors of all time.
And finally... we have no idea just how much longer this extraordinary opportunity will last. There will always be great opportunities to make money with income investments... but the once-in-a-lifetime market we're enjoying right now could come to an end by the end of 2009.

So with all of that in mind... here's what I'd like to do:

I want to invite you -- today -- to join the Skousen High-Income Alert and begin making a fortune in the markets right now.

Now let me tell you a little bit more about how the Skousen High-Income Alert works...

Simply put, the aim of the service is to identify fast-moving opportunities to earn capital gains -- but only with world-class income attached.

Whenever I see just such an opportunity, I investigate thoroughly... then I write it up and send the recommendation to you immediately by e-mail or fax (your choice.)

The recommendation will always include the facts behind each trade as well as easy-to-follow instructions you can read to your broker or enter online.

It's actually quite simple.

Here's a partial list of the great opportunities my subscribers have recently taken advantage of:

A precious metals investment that was yielding 7.4%... and delivered a 36% profit on our capital...
An overseas bank, that was yielding 7.5%... and delivered 76% profit since recommended in late November...
And a global real estate play yielding 12.7% and delivered 39% profit in just four weeks.

Each of these investments had the potential for excellent short-term gains... and each paid us a handsome dividend.

And that's precisely what makes the "Double-Dividend Strategy" -- and the Skousen High-Income Alert -- so successful.

How $5,000 Turned into $85,000 in Just Seven Weeks!

Buying bargain-basement companies provides us with both an element of safety AND the potential for excellent short-term gains.

But from time to time, those "excellent short-term gains" turn into blockbuster returns.

Like our investment in AT&T not long after we launched the Skousen High-Income Alert.

In early 2005, we picked up 21% gains by investing in this long-time high-yielding, blue-chip company... and then in early 2006 we cashed in again for another 9%.

But that was just the appetizer.

Because in January 2006, we also recommended AT&T call options for our more active traders to take advantage of profits we anticipated coming.

Just seven weeks later, that options trade had turned into a Grade-A Prime filet mignon.

We closed out that trade in late February with an overall gain of 1,600%. That means investors who plunked down $5,000 on that trade walked away with a whopping $85,000! (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.)

Double- and Triple-Digit Returns in Even the
Most Turbulent Markets

In the last twelve months alone, we've closed out winners with capital gains plus dividend returns like...

Two-week gains of 74.3% on a fast-moving precious metals trade...
11.8% returns on an oil & gas stock in just two months... including dividends of 83 cents per share as an added bonus...
A two-month return of 86.1% on a major telecommunications investment...
Eight-week gains of 17.8% on our capital investment from a major financial company... including dividends of 30 cents per share for good measure...
A quick, one-month return of 130.8% on a successful insurance investment...
Eye-popping gains of 325% -- in just two months -- on an energy-related options trade, and...
Another blockbuster: 375% profits -- in just six weeks -- from one of our best options trades.

And that's just a small sampling of our gains. When you sign up for a no-risk subscription to the Skousen High-Income Alert, you will immediately receive specific instructions on our current open positions.

No doubt about it -- the last six months have made for some pretty rough sledding for most investors.

But the Skousen High-Income Alert has continued to deliver consistent gains by focusing on what we do best: uncovering bargain-basement, high-paying opportunities with blockbuster capital-gains potential.

And I'll stack our track record up against anyone in the business.

Since the service was launched in 2004, our average rate of return is 19.6% per trade... and our options trades have been even better -- delivering returns of 44% per closed position.

But Here's One Thing My Service
Will NEVER Do

The Skousen High-Income Alert covers a wide spectrum of special situation investment opportunities.

Over the last two years, we've invested profitably in energy, telecommunications, insurance, precious metals, and, yes, even financial services.

And by employing the "Double-Dividend Strategy" for investment profits -- especially in today's outstanding market for dividend-paying stocks -- we're always focused on high-quality investments that are temporarily selling at deep discounts.

When we see those opportunities, we move quickly -- and we've maintained a disciplined approach with our trading so as to minimize any losses... and let our winners ride.

But before I go even one step further...

Let me be clear about one thing: There is no specific timetable for trades with the Skousen High-Income Alert.

One thing we don't do is force the issue. I'll never give you a square peg and ask you to put it into a round hole.

So instead -- while you will receive at least one correspondence from me per week -- you will only receive a new opportunity from me whenever I see the potential for enormous capital-gains potential.

But don't worry -- while we're clearly not a "day-trading" service -- we're not wallflowers, either. In 2008 we issued a total of 62 new buy recommendations... an average of more than one new trade per week. So, you'll have plenty of high-upside trades to choose from...

Let's Get Started -- Here's How You Can
Receive Immediate Access to My List of Open Positions

Let me make one quick confession before we go any further...

While I'd like to be able to open up the Skousen High-Income Alert to a large number of subscribers... it's simply not possible.

You see -- having too many traders potentially move the market for one of my recommendations is not a risk I'm willing to take. So, in order to prevent this from happening, we've established a cap on subscriptions for the Skousen High-Income Alert.

That's why it's vitally important that you take advantage of this opportunity to join us because I'm not sure how long we can keep the service open to new subscribers.

We're currently accepting new members on a first-come, first-serve basis... and we will maintain an active waiting list should we reach our limit on new subscriptions.

The price of a subscription to the Skousen High-Income Alert is normally $1,250 per year.

And the truth of the matter is you could make back that subscription cost -- many times over -- with the returns from just one or two of our successful trades.

But right now I'm offering a one-year subscription to the Skousen High-Income Alert at a special rate of just $995... a discount of 20%. (Think of that discount as your first double-digit winner from the service!)

Or if you prefer, you can take advantage of our quarterly billing offer and pay just $275 every three months.

One more thing...

Your subscription to the Skousen High-Income Alert is 100% risk-free.

If for any reason you're not satisfied with the service... just let me know within the first 60 days and I will promptly issue you a refund for every penny you paid. After that, you can receive a prorated refund.

Sign up now to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime buying opportunity for income investors. When you do, you'll instantly join a group of successful investors that has been putting the "Double-Dividend Strategy" to work to the tune of nearly 20% average gains.

I can't make it any simpler than that.

So now it's up to you.

Simply click on the "Subscribe Now" button below -- or call us toll-free at 1-866-426-9370.

Once you sign up, you'll receive immediate access to all subscriber benefits, including my most recent recommendations. In addition, you'll make sure that you receive my very next Skousen High-Income Alert -- and the potential profits that come with it.

Mark Skousen, Ph.D.
