The International Speculator

 

Dear Investor,

Legions of brokers and dozens of publications routinely provide "ideas" for investments that, in a good year, may beat inflation and provide a modest return.

In stark contrast, there is Casey Research, founded by legendary speculator Doug Casey. Again and again, Doug Casey has made fortunes for readers by identifying investments that produce 100% or better returns in just 12 to 24 months.

Importantly, these investments do not involve trading futures, options or other complicated instruments--just straightforward U.S. and Canadian stocks you can buy or sell online or with a quick call to your broker.

 

How To Make An Investment Fortune

 

By definition, in order for you to earn returns such as those earned by our subscribers from Paladin (up 1,587%), International Uranium (up 1,937% between 1998 and 2005), Virginia Gold (recently sold for a 996% gain from 2003), you have to accept a higher level of risk.

If taking a higher degree of risk in exchange for returns that blow away the averages scares you, you might want to stop reading here. But before you go, consider the following:
 

• If you start with the conventional investment premise of investing 100% of your money for a 10% return, you are limiting your upside and exposing your entire portfolio to risk.
• Following the speculators credo, you would invest just 10 to 20% of your money in the quest for 100% or better returns, limiting your overall risk while greatly increasing your odds for success.

Done right, the results can be quite spectacular. But don't take our word for it… Consider these unsolicited testimonials from our subscribers:

 

“As per Doug's latest recommendation, I've just sold my second holding in Paladin. Having paid off the apartment mortgage with the previous 3,100% gain, thanks to Doug's recommendation, I'm now selling the apartment and sizing up some land and a house to buy for cash. 'Thank you' sounds so weak for the tremendous ride on Paladin, but what more can I say, 'Thanks again, Doug! I'd love one day to meet, shake your hand and thank you personally.' Dreams do come true when combining boldness with care in what you do. C.L., July 2005

“I started with about $50k and it grew to about $350k, I also manage my parents account and it started with about $250k and grew to over $1.1 million. At the recent NY Gold show, I told anyone who would listen to buy the International Speculator. It truly has altered my life for the better. P.S. I'm only 33 years old.” J.M., June 2005

When was the last time you earned that sort of life-changing return from your investments?

But how do we do it? What are the secrets to successful speculation?
 

1. The right investment sectors. Investing in garden variety mutual funds or low-yielding money market funds will never make you rich.

Investing in sectors with explosive upside, on the other hand, can. Those sectors currently include precious metals, which are covered in our monthly BIG GOLD and International Speculator newsletters and in the premium Casey Investment Alert.

They also include energy, which is covered in our Casey Energy Speculator and, for especially active investors, the Casey Energy Confidential.

2. Contacts. Make no mistake, who you know can be just as important as what you know. And Doug Casey and his research team know everyone who is anyone in the sectors we cover--and are in daily contact with the movers and shakers. If there is breaking news or a rapidly unfolding opportunity, our subscribers are among the first to know.

3. Experience. The typical investor is all too susceptible to a good story or the latest hot tip. Simply put, we're not. Instead, acting on your behalf, we look behind the puffery to check out management, the financial strength and structure of the company, geology, metallurgy and much more. Relying on decades of experience in these high-potential sectors, we are able to dramatically reduce the risks that trip up most investors.
 

And that means we bring you only the best of the best. Investments with the very real potential to make you rich.
