We may not make much money, but we sure have a lot of fun!
If the Dow is down 1,000 points this time next week, here are the 100 stocks you will wish you had sold today.
Wall Street is about to show its disgust with Washington and walk away—just like it did in September.
Setting the stage for another 774-point one-day plunge—and another 1,000-point down week.
Which Stocks Get
Punished First
The market will punish every company that is not growing.
If that punishment doesn’t happen next week, it will happen the following week—or very soon.
Look at Microsoft, or GE or Boeing or Google. Almost every CEO in the land is blaming “market weakness” for poor results, slipping margins and lack of new products.
But market weakness is not the reason these companies are in the toilet. These companies have become uncompetitive.
They are beyond the help of ANY “stimulus.”
Microsoft is a good example:
» |
Windows Vista helped…Apple! |
» |
From Zune to Tablet PCs, Microsoft has shown it cannot produce technology that people want. It has become the GM of technology. |
» |
Expect another Microsoft 5,000 job cut—and still no clue in sight. |
At GE, it’s the same story. The money GE makes is in spite of itself.
At Citigroup, they’ve installed Time-Warner ex-CEO Dick Parsons, a man who never succeeded at anything, let alone commercial banking.
At Boeing, Jim McNemey created the Dreamliner snafu and plunged the company into a chronic cycle of strikes.
At Chrysler, Bob “I ruined Home Depot single handedly” Nardelli’s turnaround idea is to beg for taxpayers’ money.
Do you detect a pattern here?
» |
Run a company as if it were a monopoly these days and you’ll run it…into the ground. |
These are FIRST IN LINE TO BE SHOT when Wall Street punishes Washington.
That’s why even icons like:
Get out of them NOW!
Act Today
If you own shares in ANY of the newly-listed 100 Endangered Companies, I have some very bad news.
» |
The losses you have already experienced in these stocks are small compared to the losses you could suffer in the weeks ahead. |
Each one of the 100 Endangered Companies I list for you today are extremely vulnerable—not just to a global recession. Not just to a bear market.
Their very existence is threatened by massive hidden derivative problems, scarce credit and even scarcer capital.
They are already struggling to raise money—and they are paying 15%...even 20% or more for it.
No company on earth can survive paying 15% or 20% interest. Default and bankruptcy must follow—and it shall, almost certainly for many of these blue chip stocks.
Protect Yourself While
You Still Can
The market is very, very vulnerable right now.
You must not wait for Wall Street to give the Stimulus Package a thumbs-down.
The first action you must take is to sell every stock on my 100 Endangered Companies list. These are stocks that have FAILED my eleven-point safety test.

1. BEST LONG-TERM BLUE CHIP
If you were to tell me you could buy just one stock and put it away in your retirement fund, here is what I’d tell you to buy: Buy breakfast.
This cereal stock pretty much guarantees you market-beating returns for the next decade. Plus, as people skimp on eating out, they become bigger users of discount coupons. This is where our cereal company absolutely dominates.
PLUS, wheat and corn prices are down—which sets us up for a nice surprise in earnings season. It trades at 16 times earnings too—so you snap up a bargain.
When credit is tight and markets are in turmoil, the last stock you’d want to buy is high-growth, right?
Wrong. When you use my eleven-point safety system you can START OUT knowing you’re dealing with very high CASH FLOW, very high MARGINS and very high MARGIN GROWTH.
That means your risk is so contained, so known, you can shop for high growth—at a good price. In fact, this is a great time to buy such a stock because the VALUE you get is so extraordinary.
Plus, when you find a stock that passes all our safety guards, is great value AND IS IN HEALTHCARE, you knock it out of the park.
Our top high-growth blue chip helps cancer patients live longer, better lives. It’s got a ground-breaking product line, ready to go, and the growth profile is glorious—there’s just no other word for it.
In the last 4 reports, it has come in way ahead of expectations and the stock has reacted with a 7% - 10% jumps of joy. Buy it now. Details in your FREE report.
BEST “SAFE HAVEN” BLUE CHIP

300 Weak Little Banks Become 2 Weak Big Banks. Close to 300 small banks may fail in 2009—up from 25 in 2008. These banks are already technically insolvent but are being allowed to stay open by the FDIC until a quiet merger can be arranged. Wait a minute. Didn’t we just see what happened to Citigroup and Bank of America due to heedless acquisitions? And will your local bank, soon to be part of some ghastly nationalized megabank entity, understand the local business you’ve built from the ground up over the last 20 years? The risk to all of us is large indeed—and not yet understood. |

We’ve seen: Anything can happen. And we’ve learned: Anything will happen. So what’s the stock that will stand tall and strong through the fiercest hurricane?
Dividends are back. Investors are remembering the old truth: 97% of your total return on your investment in your lifetime will come from dividends. So what’s the best?
Our top blue chip offers a fat 4.5% yield. That’s almost TWICE what a 10-year Treasury offers!
Plus, net profit in this specialty steel mill just soared 85%. PLUS, as the dollar gets cheaper, our profits just keep getting better.
Everyone, and I mean everyone should own this stock.
BEST BLUE CHIP TO BUY FIRST
I’ve told you about 4 blue chips that offer you certainty in uncertain times, but there is another stock you should buy immediately. Why? Because it is about to reveal such stunning earnings, you can grab the next 15% - 20% gain—simply by acting now.
For example, last week the honor for what I call our top Trigger stock was Public Storage. The sad fact is, self-storage rentals are booming amid foreclosures and cutbacks. Well, sure enough, yesterday Public Storage was up 7%.
My top Trigger stock this week is a shipper and trucker. The Transports have been on fire recently. Ryder, CSX, Burlington Santa Fe and a host of other freighters are already up 60% or more.
I urge you to be part of this quiet bull market in 2009. Our top freighter reports earnings next week, so load up today!
I see it as my personal mission to protect your portfolio and your future during this wipeout.
Why Not The Best?
If you have found yourself in stress and doubt over the market in the last year, please reflect on this:
Barely one stock in 300 right now IS, indisputably, THE BEST.
That’s right. You can only count on one stock in 300 right now to thrive during this wipeout.
That makes it almost inevitable that you are holding stocks you simple shouldn’t be in. So I ask YOU: Don’t you deserve the best?
I hope to hear your answer very soon.
