Making Huge Gains From Bear Stocks Market…

"Each week, I tell my readers to make just 1 investment buy. And since November of 2006, not one pick has lost value! It's no wonder our readers could have turned $5,000 into $1 million in just over 5 years! Now, we're quickly closing in on $2 million ― currently at $1,892,043.04!

Since Steve Sarnoff, options guru, relaunched his elite e-mail Alert Service, Options Hotline, on Oct. 24, 1999, with an initial recommendation to buy Barrick calls...the profit opportunities for his readers have just doubled and tripled and quadrupled...again and again and again.

If you had invested $5,000 in that first recommendation and in every recommendation that followed, you could have grown that small sum into to a quarter of a million by Dec. 3, 2000.

Then half a million dollars by Sept. 30, 2002.

And then to...$1 MILLION by Dec. 2, 2004!

His track record: 100% winners in all of 2008, 2007 and 2005!...92% winners in 2004! 90% in 2003! Steve's record just keeps getting better and better!

WOW! $1 MILLION in a little over five years with a startup investment of just $5,000 in each pick! I'm so sorry you missed the ride. But get ready. Because you're invited to:

Join Steve as he shows you the way to the next $1 MILLION...it's simple and straightforward and we'll show you how with Steve's one weekly option buy recommendation

The stock market of the past few years has produced very few millionaires. You just can't make a million dollars with a $5,000 initial investment on a nine-year average annual return of 1.63%. To do so would take you more than 400 years. . You'll never live to see it, and neither will your grandchildren, great-grandchildren, even your great-great-grandchildren.

Hello, I'm Steve Sarnoff, recognized options expert and the editor of Options Hotline. I'm here to tell you that even if you've never traded options before, you can do it. In fact, it's quite possible you could grow over $1 million richer...just by buying one option a week...in as little as five years. My proven system is all you need.

In the time it takes you to read this letter, I'm going to show you step by step how you can trade options with a minimum of risk and a maximum chance of profits.

Just ask one of my subscribers, Mr. Eckert: "My very first trade using your service was the GE August $30 call. I couldn't be happier with the 116% profit in just three weeks!"

Or Donna, who says, "I am very pleased with your recommendations, especially with the Bank of America. It's unbelievable for it to be up more than 200% in just a few days."

Mr. Abbott, another one of my happy subscribers, confirms, "Joining Options Hotline was the best decision I've ever made...since I joined -- three months ago -- I have doubled my money."

Why are we getting such rave reviews? Simple. I have the track record to prove it: My wins have overpowered my losses, and my small group of readers has had the chance to reap $1 million in profits in just over five years.

And I'm not talking about a million-dollar portfolio that looks good on paper...I'm talking about the type of wealth you have only imagined. Seriously...$1 million on just one investment a week!

Enjoy Doubling Your Money! We have a track record with more than a 100% average gain on every pick since November 2006. Compare that to the pitiful average yields of the S&P and Nasdaq! Here are a few highlights from my decisively winning trading record:

Of the 8 options I recommended in the final 10 weeks of 1999, 7 were winners, ranging from a 17% gain on DJX puts to a 628% gain on Intel calls. You could have made $87,000 on those 8 picks...and lost only $5,000 on one trade.

In 2000, I recommended 32 options that triggered (meaning the option reached the price I recommended for buying). That year, readers had the chance to pocket $173,214.55 in total profits with only $5,000 into each play - MORE THAN DOUBLE what we saw in 1999

In 2001, the year of the terror attacks, I made 45 recommendations that triggered. We had some big winners. GM puts gained 1,202%, or $60,000! Pfizer puts, 431%! Biopure puts, 341%! Total profits that year could have been as high as $216,164

In 2002, we crossed the HALF-MILLION-DOLLAR MARK when the 3M puts recommended on Aug. 16 of that year gained 103%! Total that year - $205,101!

How can I claim such amazing track record gains year after year? Simple. I look at the highest price the option gets to after I recommend it and that's the gain I record in my portfolio. So, you can be sure that the gains I talk about here are the biggest and best possible. And the potential profits are the best you'll see.

Are you noticing a winning pattern here?

In 2003, only 4 of the 39 triggered picks I recommended lost. Readers could have racked up $189,463.32 by investing $5,000 in every pick.

In 2004, I cut my losers in half! Only 2 out of 36 lost! And we HIT THE $1 MILLION MARK on the iShares 20 Year Treasury Bond Fund calls first recommended on July 16, 2004. You could have added $221,300.36 in total profits to your income that year and lost only $363.50! That certainly shows how your wins can overpower your losses.

In 2005, we simply stopped picking losers at all! Every pick was a winner! A 100% win rate. You could have added $217,523.58 by selling your options at the high mark.

In 2006, we picked 36 options that triggered. All but three were winners. The most profitable pick at its peak was a whopping 300%! You could have added $150,375.28 by selling at the right time.

In 2007, our winning streak continued! Every pick a winner. Nearly 40% of the picks were triple-digit winners too. You could have added another $202,635.16 to your bank account ― without losing a single penny!

That's right! Since hitting the first million-dollar mark on July 16, 2004, we've given readers the chance to make another $892,043.04 in profits since. We're closing in on our next million dollars, and I'd like to invite you to join us in this upcoming profit bonanza.

An unbelievable record: I haven't picked ONE loser since November 2006! Steady consistent winning on only one pick a week ismy No.1 million-dollar strategy.
It works. If you follow my recommendations, it can be your killer strategy, too!

In fact, my win rate for 2004 was 92%. That's right, 92% of the weekly picks I recommended could have made money. In 2003, it was 90%.

And in 2005, 2007, and 2008...I didn't have one losing pick. I was 100%!! You simply won't find a better record anywhere else.

In 2008, for example, I had 36 picks that triggered. Only five did not. My average gain was an astounding 127% ― with total gains possible of over $229,000!

You can even check it out for yourself. I've attached my personal Pick-by-Pick Proof Sheet that lists every recommendation I have made since 2006. Like I said before, the gains are calculated at the highest point of each of my actionable option recommendations (meaning the ones that triggered) after I have alerted my readers. You'll see what happened!

While I do not issue specific sell recommendations, with my proven selling strategies, you'll learn how to minimize your risk and lose as little money as possible.

In fact, when we reviewed the over 110 examples of winning options recommended in the past three years and how well they could have done, we found that …

The average gain was over 100% on each recommendation. That's doubling your money on every play! The highest gain was a monstrous 611% on the Newmont Mining December $45 calls in August of 2007. That's enough to turn your one $5,000 investment into $30,550!

The top 39 winners of the past 3 years were all triple-digit baggers! Winners like

472% on Bed, Bath & Beyond February $40 put, recommended on December 18, 2005

420% on Newmont Mining June $40 puts, recommended on April 10, 2005

399% on Qualcomm August $35 calls, recommended on July 10, 2005

366% on SPY November $152 puts, recommended on October 29, 2007

300% on Bristol-Myers March $25 calls, recommended on November 19, 2006

283% on TLT September $89 puts, recommended on March 5, 2007

266% on Newmont Mining March $55 puts, recommended on January 25, 2006

210% on FedEx July $110 puts, recommended on May 1, 2006

205% on Coca-Cola September $55 calls, recommended on August 2, 2007

366% on SPY November $152 puts, recommended on October 29, 2007

569% on Citigroup July $20 puts, recommended on May 25, 2008

439% on QQQQ December $43 puts, recommended on Sept. 21, 2008

These triple-digit winners have been great. Big winners like this are a real high, and when I make any recommendation, that's certainly my goal. Over one-third of all my recommendations from 2005 through 2008 were triple-digit home runs.

But the real secret to making a million dollars with just one pick a week...is not just hitting the triple-digit home runs now and again, it's the solid base hits and the steady stream of winning picks...9%, 21%, 40%, 62%, 80% gains on almost every one.

It's why acting on only one play a week can work. You're not wasting time and risking large amounts of money taking a scattershot approach of buying dozens of options hoping one will sell big for you. Instead, you could be focusing on the one winning trade that matters...week after week after week.

IN FACT, if you were to average out the gains on my picks for the past 9 years since 1999, you'd get about a 115% average gain on each and every play. That's more than double your money average on every pick!

That's enough to turn a $5,000 investment into $10,750 on every play!

Compare that to the pitiful returns of the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq for the same time period:

S&P 500: 1.63 % average annual return from 1999-2007! Actually, from January 1999 through December 2007, the S&P's TOTAL cumulative return has only been 14.7%! 14.7% in 9 years. It's pathetic!

The Nasdaq has done worse....0.64% average annual return and 5.8% cumulative return in that time. That's worse than a savings account …

And forget about 2008! The markets fell up to 40%, sometimes whipsawing around with volatile swings of 3-5% a day!

Just how fast do you think you could build real wealth with those sorts of returns? Perhaps your entire life. It would take more than your and my lifetime of investing combined to even hope to get anywhere near a million dollars on 1.63% and 0.64% returns.

I think you'll agree that my way of trading options is certainly the fastest and easiest way (and it's less risky too - more on that in a moment) to make your FIRST MILLION DOLLARS.

So now you may be asking...

What are options... and why doesn't everyone invest in them?

For far too long, options trading has been shrouded in mystery for the average investor. But no longer. I've been studying options my entire life (my dad, Paul Sarnoff, was a brilliant master options expert), and I have to tell you it's the one investment that truly offers limited risk for unlimited gain.

Many people don't invest in options, because they've listened to all the misconceptions or myths of options trading. Perhaps the No. 1 myth of options trading is that options are too risky, but that simply isn't true. In fact, you can make money trading options in up, down or even sideways markets.

Trading in the actual underlying top stocks is more risky, as more of your money is on the line when you purchase best stock investing. You can buy an options contract for as little as $100 and see it double in price in a short period of time. You certainly don't see stock prices doubling very often or witness the spectacular gains in stock prices that you do in options.

Another big myth is that most options expire worthless...but as you'll soon see from my profit-building strategies, you should sell the option long before the expiration date to maximize your profit or minimize the loss.

So don't stay on the sidelines and miss out on the huge profit potential of options any longer...not when you allow me to be your expert guide and I have an astonishing "double your money" potential in average gains on every pick since 1999! Just take a look at my year-by-year gain-and-loss chart. The proof of success is in the numbers!

I won't give you a detailed explanation of options, because frankly, at this point, you don't need one. Right now, you just need to know how they work and how to profit from them. (I am offering TWO FREE BONUS REPORTS that will serve as your crash course in options. You'll get both of these gifts just for trying out Options Hotline.)

Simply stated for our purposes...an option gives you the right to buy or sell 100 shares of a specific stock at a certain price within a set period of time.

If you expect a stock to rise in the future, you buy a call, the right to buy the stock at a certain price. If you expect a stock to fall in the future, you buy a put, which is the right to sell the stock at a certain price. You're not actually buying or selling the stocks, just the "option" to do it.

And that's what makes option trading a real profit shield against disasters and world events...hurricanes, oil shortages, high gas prices, terror bombings, sluggish consumer sales...whatever! If the stock market goes bearish, then I start looking for puts to recommend to take advantage of the down market.

And we've seen some pretty hefty wins on puts recently. Take a look:

366% on SPY November $152 puts

52% on FedEx October $100 puts

68% on MetLife September $60 puts

130% on Allstate April $60 puts

569% on Citigroup July $20 puts.

And you don't actually have to exercise an option to make money. In fact, all of these staggering gains could have been made on buying and selling the option!

The secret of "SUPER-LEVERAGE"...and how it can make you far richer in a short period of time!

"Super-Leverage" is, quite simply, the potential to make large profits from changing prices while strategically limiting your risk. The instruments of Super-Leverage are nothing fancy...just exchange-traded puts and calls. It's the simplest strategy, but most often, it's the most effective.

The BIG advantage to you is that you don't need to be a financial wizard or have large sums of money to participate. Remember, you can purchase an option for as little as $100!

The disadvantage is that options are wasting assets. And if the underlying security doesn't move enough to give you real value before a specified date, your options will expire worthless. It is a risk...but you're only out the price of the option.

Here's a play from 2007 I recommended that shows you the power of Super-Leverage at work:

On September 17, 2007, I recommended to my readers that they..."Buy the Johnson & Johnson January $65 call, for $200 or less, good this week".

What this means is that I'm recommending readers buy one options contract at $200 (or less) for 100 shares of Johnson and Johnson stock at $65 a share sometime before the third Friday in January. Options always expire on the third Friday of the month.

Now, if the Johnson & Johnson stock climbs higher than $65, your option starts to increase in value. Why? Because you have the option to buy them at $65 a share when others are willing to buy them at a much higher price.

Say Johnson & Johnson rises to $70...that means you can "exercise" your option and buy 100 shares at $6,500 and sell them for $7,000, for $500 in profit minus the $200 (or less) you paid for the option - or $300 net profit. Not bad - a 4% potential return on your investment!

But if you sell the $65 call option (instead of exercising it), in fact you could have sold your option outright for a maximum of $425 and pocketed a return of 112%! Since I suggest a $5,000 investment, at a 112% return, you could have sold it for $5,600 in net profits.

Now that's Super-Leverage, and why options are so profitable...and why you need to risk only $5,000 on my one weekly recommendation.

Here are a few more plays I recommended that produced the HUGE Super-Leverage gains in just a few days, like Mr. Carson's:

Coca-Cola Sept $55 calls, 206% in 8 days

FedEx October $100 puts, 52% in 1 day

Exxon Mobil May $80 calls, 107% in 4 days

UPS July $70 put, 48% in 1 day.

You see why there's no need to buy a lot of options and risk a large amount of your money and hope for one big win to make up for all the losses. I closely look for the one option to buy each week that can make you huge profits in a short time. It's my full-time job...not yours.

My dad Paul Sarnoff was one of the legends in options trading for more than 40 years. Wall Street turned to my dad for the best in options trading advice. He is to options what Warren Buffett is to stocks - a genius! In fact, it was my dad who started Options Hotline, his private options advisory service available only to a select few, back in 1989.

About 30 years ago, my dad brought me into the "family business" - sort of a Sarnoff & Son. For years, I literally soaked up every word he ever spoke about trading options for big profits. I watched him trade. I listened carefully to his reasons. I analyzed his every pick. I did what he did. It was awesome to watch a master trader at work.

As his apprentice, I saw firsthand how my dad raked in profits. And I'll always remember what my dad said to me nearly every day: "Son, options are the best...perhaps the only way to get rich very quickly."

While I was learning trading secrets from my dad, I also earned my college degree, worked on the floor of the Commodity Exchange and founded my own research company, developing my own charting and analytical techniques to build on what my father had taught me.

In 1995, Dad asked me to join him as co-editor of Options Hotline. I was proud that this options genius felt I was ready to join him as his equal. Sadly, my dad passed away in 1999, but his legacy lives on through me and the ongoing success of Options Hotline.

My first solo recommendation was Barrick Gold calls on Oct. 24, 1999. Not my best pick, with a 100% loss, but I made up for it with my next four picks ...

Home Depot calls, 289%

AMEX calls, 150%

Disney calls, 315%

Cisco calls, 386%.

In fact, my next thirteen recommendations were all double- and triple-digit winners!

As a subscriber to Options Hotline, you'll get more than 50 years of my dad's options experience...combined with my over 30 years of technical analysis...for 80 years of options experience you can depend on to give you the winning picks.

I just don't know where you would find a more authoritative source for profiting from options. But don't take my word for it.

Triple-digit gains without buying, selling or owning a
single share of stock! That's Super-Leverage in action!

To illustrate that point, one of my subscribers, Earnest L., told me, "My very first trade using your service was a 50% gain. My second trade is hard to believe, a 750% gain in one working day."

Even though I have had a 100% win rate since November of 2006, I want to make sure that you know losses occasionally do happen. I had three in 2006. But also remember...your risk with options is LIMITED to the cost of the option...not the underlying stock.

But again, you have my promise that I'll show you wins will overpower our losses and you will steadily and surely get the chance to make money - week after week, month after month, year after year...more on this promise later...

To pick the steadily consistent winners, it takes me a week of painstaking research. I thoroughly study the market technicals, the economy and the impact of events upon the market's direction. I diligently research the companies whose underlying stock is the foundation of our options picks.

It's why I only make one solid recommendation at the end of the week. It's the one pearl among swine. And it's why my track record is so good. Quality, not quantity.

Plus, I don't stay in just one area of the market. You can see by my Pick-by-Pick Proof Sheet that I'm researching whatever sector of the market has the potential for big profits...commodities, hi-tech, retail, financial, consumer products and services, health care and others.

This all-around diversity immediately minimizes your investment risk, so you're never heavily weighted in one area of the market. In other words, your investment eggs are all over the place...dodging risks and discovering profits.

And I also employ a unique charting system with a proprietary computer screening program that I personally developed that allows me to be just a little bit "prophetic" in picking the options that can return single, double and triple the gains...90-100% of the time! I am unable to reveal the details of these systems, but again, you can see that they work on my undistorted Pick-by-Pick Proof Sheet.

Don't waste a minute wondering what option to buy... I'll pick 'em. You decide if you want to play 'em. And together, I'll help you make a million dollars!

Obviously, the hardest part about trading options is picking the right options...BUT you don't have to worry about that at all. With my personal Options Hotline Alert Service, you'll get one extremely well-researched recommendation per a week on Sunday night, in plenty of time to call your broker by the opening bell Monday morning if you feel confident in my play.

I suggest you follow each and every one of my recommendations. That's the one proven way I know of that you can be sure that your wins overpower your losses. If you were to cherry-pick week to week, I would be unable to maintain my promise to you of steady incremental gains week after week after week. But the choice is ultimately yours.

The main reason people fail at trading options is that they play too many of the wrong options, hoping for one winner. But one trade per week is all you need. You can clearly see by my attached 2006-2008 Pick-by-Pick Gain Sheet that this strategy DOMINATES! 100% in 2008, 2007, and 2005! 92% wins in 2004...94% in 2003.

Action Item No. 1 toward your MILLION-DOLLAR GOAL: Think it over and call your broker first thing Monday morning and make the play I told you about Sunday night. You won't be sorry.

Now here's how you can make the Million-Dollar Plays to help you achieve Super-Leverage profit potential on every play.

Up until now, I've told you about the importance of buying the one option every week that I recommend. That's the "pick 'em" side.  

Now, let's talk about the "play 'em" side. Here are a few of my proven million-dollar plays to make sure you MINIMIZE your risk and MAXIMIZE your profit potential. If you decide to trade, follow these simple rules. 

The trick to making money with options is simply to play...and to keep playing. I would suggest that you don't pick and choose what recommendations I offer. Be consistent and play each recommendation every week. Staying in the game will help you have your wins overpower your losses.

Take the emotion out of your selling. You'll lose for sure if you get too attached to any trade. So decide on a profit target based on the price of the underlying stock, not the option. To help you, each option recommendation I offer includes a target price for the best stock investment.

You'll discover all of my trading strategies in my TWO FREE BONUS REPORTS I'm offering to my new subscribers: Secrets of a Master Trader: Tips and Strategies for Making a Fortune in Options...AND The Options Buyer's Handbook.

Find a time in the day to review your options and stick to it. It may take you only 15 minutes or up to an hour each day...but do it! As my track record proves, I don't know too many jobs where you can work 15 minutes a day with the potential to make over $200,000 a year!

In options trading, greed is always whispering in your ear, saying, "Hang on, don't sell. It's going to go up/down even more." Don't listen! Be disciplined. Be smart. Grab your profit targets when you reach them and sell.

There's always another winning option coming to you next week. Remember the old adage and believe in it with your heart and soul - maybe even embroider it on a pillow...

No one ever lost money taking a profit!

You can see by my record that I find every winner I can. And you can too!

If you faithfully call your broker every Monday morning and buy one contract, 10 contracts, 100 contracts - whatever you're willing to invest (I suggest $5,000 a trade, but talk to your broker about what's right for you) - on the one recommendation I have made that week...

...and then monitor your open options position at least 15 minutes a day, following your predefined, well-established playing strategies I've outlined above...

...then you can calmly, consistently, increasingly...add profits to your bank account...all the way to a million dollars and more!

My readers have already had the opportunity to do just that in just over five years...with just one option a week. It's not too late for you to start.

Some days, you could add tens of thousands of dollars. Other days, a few hundred dollars. Now and again, you may take a hit...but judging by my undeniable record of picking winners, it won't be that often.

Are You Ready to Become a Millionaire?
If so, then send for my next recommendation immediately.

Are you ready to start making consistent gains on my winning recommendations? Isn't it time you joined the savvy readers who read Options Hotline and start building a million-dollar bank account...and retire rich beyond your wildest dreams?  

Mr. Kinsey knows. He e-mailed me this happy report: "Profits, Profits, Profits!!! In Friday at $1.55 and out Monday at $2.20. That is a quick 41% profit in less than two trading days. It just doesn't get any better than this!"

And Mr. Greene made even more: "I am more than happy and very much satisfied with a net 185% profit in only 13 days!"

The question is...are you ready for mind-boggling profits? Or are you content to invest in the paltry annual returns of the stock market and live in fear of outliving your savings? It's your decision, but...

I think you're ready for my next winning recommendation. Here's how you get it:

You'll find my recommendation of the week, written out exactly in the words you can say to your broker, to ensure accuracy.

I'll also review the status of our open positions, to help you plan your selling strategy. 

Midweek Updates on Open Positions

Since options can move fast, I've also included midweek update Alerts so you can review again where you are on all of our open positions. We'll talk about the direction of the option price, the underlying stock price, resistance and support levels (concepts thoroughly explained in your TWO FREE BONUS REPORTS) and where I see it all trending.

Sometimes, underlying stock prices and options are moving so fast I can't wait for the midweek to get a notice out to you. So I'll send out a very brief "heads-up" on a stock so you won't miss the move. This Alert is sent "as needed," so I can't tell you how frequent they may be.

Just one investment a week and $5,000 per trade is all you need to trade your way to a million dollars in a few short years.

*DID NOT TRIGGER means the price I recommended buying the option at was not
reached, therefore a trade could not have been placed or triggered.

Please Note:
Gains are based on all triggered picks, assuming exit point at peak option value. Percent gain represents the percentage change at the subsequent high value, from the trigger price. Profit calculations do not factor in commissions and taxes. Any dates not mentioned in the portfolio signify weeks when the bulletin was not published. All other dates and recommendations are included.

Obama's Stock Investing Strategy For 2009

"Congratulations Obama. You won.

"Now what? You said on January 20 that we've got a lot of work to do.

"I'll say. But wars and Wall Street aside, fail to deal with the crisis I'm about to name — and deal with it immediately — and you might as well write off your presidency now. I'm perfectly serious. This ignored crisis could be the defining event of your first term. And the reason you might not get a chance at a second.

"It's the test you don't even know yet you'll have to pass. And the make or break moment for America itself. The fate of our nation hangs in the balance...

"The greatest modern threat to American wealth, our economy, Wall Street... even to the future of our nation itself.

"Make no mistake, this is a timebomb.

"And the clock is ticking..."

$7.2 trillion is a lot of money.

That's what D.C. has poured into "our" bailout so far.

With even more to come, if Obama has his way.

And how much of that will you see personally?

And how much for your children... your grandchildren... or even their children?

Not a dime.

Every penny is going to the banks... the business owners... the over-stretched lenders... the special interests... basically everybody who helped create this crisis in the first place.

But I'm not writing you to rile you up.

In fact, and this is going to surprise you...

I'm not writing you to talk today about the "Wall Street Panic of '08" at all. Or the elections. Or Obama and the next new era.

Except for how all of those are just pieces and players in a much bigger event... something far more dangerous to you and your money... and to America itself... than anybody in Washington or Wall Street wants you to realize.

How big?

Even today's credit crisis — the one Alan Greenspan himself just referred to as a "once in a century 'Credit Tsunami'" — is nothing by comparison.

No, this much larger, little talked-about calamity is a full on four-pronged attack on just about everything you hold dear... a massive financial catastrophe that could not only wipe you out, personally, but bring America itself to its knees.

Perhaps permanently.

Fail to resolve this, and the idea of America itself could... end. Just like that. I'm not exaggerating in the least.

Here's the crazy part — as big as I can prove to you that this is, not one of today's White House staffers, Congressional elite, or even President Obama himself have proved willing to talk about this event, at length, in public.

They won't touch it. Not with a 20-foot pole.

Even though, short of a terrorist with a nuke in downtown Manhattan, there is no greater threat to you, your money, or this nation as a whole... than the one I reveal below.

When this devastating "four-prong timebomb" implodes, it will make today's stock market blowout look like an afternoon picnic at Disneyland. And at that point, I highly doubt there's anything Obama or anyone else in Washington can do to stop it.

What could I possibly be talking about?

The fact is, America is in deep, deep trouble. Much deeper than anyone is willing to tell you. Thanks to a four-part calamity that casts a shadow on our future much larger than the property bust, the banking crisis, or even the recent $819 billion Obama wants to tack onto the bailout.

Before I go into detail, let me just tell you a little bit about my background. My name is Addison Wiggin. And I've spent the last two years of my life doing almost nothing else but researching this crisis I'll describe below.

I've written about it, I've gone on record with the media about it,

I've even toured America to talk about it. I even co-authored two Bestsellers that warn about this coming calamity in explicit detail.

But by far, the biggest thing I've done related to this is create an award-winning documentary about it — the Critics Choice-Nominated film I.O.U.S.A.

I feel this message is so important, I want to send you a copy of this full-length feature film FREE on DVD. At my own personal expense.

Because I believe this is that important.

In fact, this is quite possibly the biggest event in modern U.S. history. You might think I'm going for melodrama — but see how you feel after you have a chance to hear the proof for yourself. I'm not just worried. I've made it a true life mission to get the word out on this.

Already, in fact, I've given away over 11,500 "pre-release" copies of the I.O.U.S.A. DVD. And while I still have free copies to give away, I intend to give away more.

Along with the powerful 262-page companion I.O.U.S.A. book... plus a new free strategy report that shows you how to forget about the bungled government bailout — and start generating your own stream of "personal bailout" cash, including up to 78 checks you can receive on a frequent, reliable schedule, over the 24 months ahead.

How does all this work? It's all part of a new crisis solution package I've put together for you, called the "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle." And it's yours free...

First, your "bailout bundle" shows you what's happened and how we got into this mess. You'll see exactly how and when the America we once knew was first betrayed. And then, the bundle helps you take the next step, by carefully laying down a plan that includes a direct and personal cash "bailout" strategy... plus up to a year's worth of free "post-crash" stock research.

Altogether, it took well over two years to make the documentary and write the book I'll include. And countless hours to draft the "bailout paycheck" strategy I'll include. Yet, I'm going to send this "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" to you at the rare low price of... free.

For you. For your family. For anyone you care about.

I'll explain everything you need to do to get it in a moment.

Here's a full rundown of what you'll find inside...

FREE, our award-winning documentary, I.O.U.S.A. — Was there Oscar buzz? Yes. Our theater-length expose shows exactly how today's scandalous money crisis took shape in the hands of Washington and Wall Street elite. And I've secured a free copy of the just-released DVD to send you — three months before it's available to the general public — absolutely free

FREE, our new 262-page I.O.U.S.A. companion book — This full book covers not only the back-story behind everything you'll find in the movie, but includes 12 full interviews with the top financial minds who have the courage to address this crisis. We just sent copies of this book to every member of Congress — and I'm ready to pay all costs to send it to you, at no charge whatsoever

FREE, a personal "bailout" plan that shows you how you could get up to 78 cash payouts — Protect yourself, protect your family. And do it without depending on the U.S. government for help, with this "rubber-meets-the-road" personal "bailout" strategy. Not only can it put as many as 78 cash "paychecks" into your account over the next 24 months... it could also set you up with income for life. And this strategy is also yours free.

You'll also receive...

FREE, up to 12 free months of highly successful "post-crash" stock research — For up to a full year, get free "post crash" stock research from one of the safest, smartest, and most trusted market researchers in the industry. Plus, he'll send you portfolio updates every week... and you can have full private-password access to his members-only website, at no charge.

Again, I've created this "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" specifically for right now. And I'm going to send it to you at my own expense. I even made a special deal to secure the copies of the DVD. Plus another deal with Amazon.com so I could cover the cost of shipping myself.

All just to make sure you have this "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" available to you so you can protect yourself and your loved ones from the massive shakeout ahead.

Inside the bundle, you'll hear not just what my colleagues and I have to say... but what some of the most powerful and immediately recognizable figures in finance and politics told me in exclusive one-on-one interviews.

Warren Buffett, Alan Greenspan, Steve Forbes, Robert Rubin, Paul Volcker... they and others you'll know sat down with me personally to answer my questions about this crisis. And all you have to do to hear what they're saying about this new crisis... as well as to claim a free "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" for yourself... is explained at the end of this letter.

At Least "25 Times Bigger" Than Today's Total Crash on Wall Street

Former U.S. Comptroller General, David Walker looked me straight in the eye and said this danger you're about to face isn't just big... it's at least "25 times bigger" than the bust that's now drained some trillions of dollars from the U.S. stock market.

And he's not alone.

Billionaire Warren Buffett thinks at least one aspect of this coming crisis is so serious, that when we went to his offices to interview him, he graciously cleared the rest of his schedule and spent nearly two hours talking with me privately about this in his company boardroom.

My friend and bestselling author William Bonner sat down with us too, and told us — on camera — that our failure so far to fix this isn't just foolish... it's "downright mean" and "immoral," as we prepare instead to pass it along to our children and their children.

We met up with former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker in his offices. He talked about how difficult it was to save the U.S. from the "stagflation" hangover of the late 1970s. And then he told me, face to face, "the earlier we take action [on this crisis], the better..."

We also met up with Peter G. Peterson, the investor who made $2.5 billion on the sale of his Blackstone Group. He's so worried about this that not only did he grant us an interview... he put up $1 billion of his own money to start a foundation to help raise awareness. And then his foundation paid $2.5 million to back the filming of our documentary on the matter, I.O.U.S.A.

I'm sure you've guessed by now that the gorilla in the room... the looming crisis nobody wants to talk about, but nobody can afford to ignore any longer... the U.S. National Debt Bomb.

Let me clarify... the $53 trillion national debt time bomb.

Yes, $53 trillion.

I know, that's a very big number.

Almost too big to get your head around.

Maybe even too big to be believed or understood. Which is why I'm going to rush you the "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" so you can see the evidence for yourself.

Your free copy of the I.O.U.S.A. DVD shows you how we've gotten to that number. And the 262-page companion book, also called I.O.U.S.A., gives you the full interviews with the experts that reveal why this might not even be as bad as it gets.

Consider, just the part of that number that we're used to hearing about — the "official" National Debt without our future Social Security and Medicare obligations included — just crossed into $10 trillion territory.

Worse, just in the first 16 days of this fiscal year that figure grew $300 billion — that's an annual rate of 75%. At that pace, the U.S. government would owe $17 trillion by this time next year!

Think subprime is serious? Try imagining how these numbers effectively add up to the biggest adjustable rate mortgage in history... and as taxpayers, we're being forced by Washington to cover the bills.

So far in today's Wall Street wipeout, trillions of dollars have disappeared from world markets... hundreds of thousands of jobs are gone... pension funds have seized up... state governments are slashing budgets and withholding basic services...

Can you imagine the gaping hole this $53 trillion debt bomb will blow through the bottom of the financial markets? Can you imagine the aftermath for the world economy?

In Manhattan alone, we're already seeing unemployment rocket to levels not seen since just after 9-11... in St. Louis, they just canceled plans to fix their airport and rebuild collapsing bridges... in Connecticut, they scrapped plans to build new schools... in Utah, they just cancelled health benefits for nearly 20,000 people...

All from what's just happening right now.

This is tiny by comparison to what this much bigger fallout could levy. You'll see for yourself when you let me send you a free copy of the new I.O.U.S.A. DVD — over a month before it will be available to the general public — plus the complete and accessible 262-page companion book by the same name.

And I'd love to put both in your hands immediately, with your permission...

My New Life Mission

Look, I can understand if this is the first time you're hearing about just how serious this has gotten. Once, I was in the same boat as you.

This just isn't something Wall Street or Washington wants you to know or think all that much about. But frankly, maybe if I share a little more of my background... you'll see how I came to care so much about this myself.

And why I'm urging you to let me share this research with you too.

See, you may know me from my years of working with the popular advisory e-letter, The Daily Reckoning. Or possibly from the three bestsellers I co-authored, Financial Reckoning Day, Empire of Debt, and The Demise of the Dollar.

You might even know already that, for the last 15 years, I've worked hard to help warn my fellow Americans about financial threats much like the one you're witnessing today.

I've also worked just as hard to guide them to new and alternative opportunities.

And I've spent many hours giving interviews on all these important trends... on Fox, CBS, NBC, and MSNBC... to The New York Times and The Washington Times... to NPR... on Bloomberg.com and TheStreet.com...

It's a list so long even I start to lose track.

But it wasn't until I started working on the I.O.U.S.A. documentary that I understood the full scope of the $53 trillion crisis you and I face right now.

And believe me, from what I've already seen — and what you'll see in the free copy of the documentary and the stunning companion I.O.U.S.A. book — I'm convinced this is the greatest danger facing the future of America today.

I also believe that we can no longer wait for our political leaders, new or old, to own up to this situation... we can no longer wait for Wall Street to address these risks responsibly... and we can no longer afford to sit back and wish this would go away by itself.

As I said, the two and a half years I spent working on this documentary had one goal, which was to expose the truth about the debt crisis America faces.

We accomplished that.

And now I want you to see the result.

So much that I've arranged to send you a full, feature-length FREE copy of the film, I.O.U.S.A. And again, that's just part of a comprehensive "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" I'd love to send your way.

What you'll find on the DVD and in the rest of your "bailout bundle" are direct and personal interviews with other concerned Americans... like Dr. Alan Greenspan, former commerce secretaries Paul O'Neill and Robert Rubin, Congressman Ron Paul, billionaire investor Warren Buffett, and many more.

The consensus was unanimous...

This is a threat that cannot be ignored.

I've made it my personal mission to warn you and anybody else who will listen. And sending you my free "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" is part of that effort.

As long as I hear from you while I still have copies left, I'll send this bundle and everything it includes to you gratis. No charge. At my expense. You can find the details at the end of this letter.

First, the "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" shows you what happened and how we got here. Then it shows you what we have to do to steer clear of a complete financial unraveling in the future... including a way for you, personally, to collect as many as 78 personal "bailout" checks of your own over the coming two years.

But before you race ahead, let me just give you a sense of the gory details...

The U.S. "deficit" is the amount our government spends above what it collects in taxes. Washington says we'll need $438 billion "extra" to cover our bills in the coming year. That's a new record.

Every time we don't have the money to cover our bills, it has to come from somewhere. Either new taxes, more swiped Social Security funds... or more borrowing. From anybody willing to cover the loan.

During World War II, the U.S. spent a lot of money it didn't have. But they borrowed most of it directly from Americans, as War Bonds. Today, nearly half of all the money we owe is owed to exactly the countries you wouldn't want in charge of our future — China, Japan, Saudi Arabia... even Venezuela, Russia, Iran, and Iraq!

If you own a house and you can't pay on your loan, you know what happens — the bank takes over your property. What happens when the U.S. government can't cover its debts? Political analysts call it the "nuclear option," which foreign lenders could use to destroy our economy overnight.

At the same time we also buy more stuff than we make, and most of what we buy we get from those same countries, whether it's energy from the Middle East or just about everything else from India and China. That's the "trade deficit" and it's also hitting record levels.

The more money we send there means less money here. For two recent years, the U.S. had back-to-back negative savings rates. The last time that happened was during the Great Depression. Meanwhile, credit-card debt has soared, eating up 5% of the average U.S. family's income.

Getting most Americans to cut back on spending is like trying to talk a cat into taking an ice-bath in a fireworks factory. Yet just by following Washington's shameful example, U.S. families have piled up nearly $1 trillion just in consumer credit debt.

And all this while politicians slather on promises of fat tax cuts and huge, expensive new programs. It took 207 years to add the first $1 trillion to the total U.S. debt. Now we're adding, on average, about $2 trillion to $3 trillion... per year!

With what we'll add to the bailouts this year, we've crossed the $8 trillion mark, total... and not including the $10 trillion the U.S. already owed creditors. Tack on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid promises to Baby Boomers, the total is more like $53 trillion.

Under current rules, the Social Security trust alone will run out of money in less than 10 years from right now. And Medicare and Medicaid? Don't even think about it. It's a problem that's much larger and almost completely ignored by politicians.

By 2012, the National Center for Policy Analysis estimates, the federal government will be forced to stop doing 1 in 10 of the things it does for you today. By 2020, it stops doing 1 in 4. By 2050, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid alone will eat up the entire federal budget.

If you "own" America as a citizen, what's your personal share of the National Debt? About $176,000 and climbing... even faster now, thanks to the bailout. Get out your checkbook please.

And of course, none of this even includes the interest piling up on the unpaid debt, that's added on to the tally around the clock. So far, about $53.9 million in the time it's taken you to read this letter.

Meanwhile, over 50% of the stocks held on the New York Stock Exchange are held by people 60 or older. How big will the "bailout" have to be when they all take the cash to pay for retirement?

You see my point.

The danger isn't just a little bit of vaporized retirement security... it's the very real risk that the entire U.S. economy will collapse, with a "hard landing" for the dollar, third-world levels of unemployment, and government retirement programs that disappear overnight.

And this isn't just tomorrow's problem.

Have you ever wondered why you pay so much more for a gallon of milk than you did just a few years ago? Or why you pay so much more for a gallon of gasoline... health care... or college tuition?

The housing bubble... disappearing jobs... the banking bust... the collapsing dollar... they all have their complex causes, but if there's one thread that runs through all of them, it's the connection they have to America's wasteful, shameful, exploding national debt.

The facts are clear.

Washington policy makers are mortgaging your future... our future... and our children's future. It's unsound, unsustainable, and indefensible. Touch choices have to be made. Preferably now, while there still might be time.

Think about it like this. If nothing else changes, Washington will owe over 240% more than every business in the U.S. makes each year... and it will happen in less time than it takes a child born this morning to reach age 35.

Can you imagine how long you could live if every year your bills added up to more than two and a half times your salary? Not very long. A couple years... a year... six months. But that's where we're headed, if nothing changes.

You don't want to wait for the politicians to figure it out... you don't want to wait for Wall Street to figure it out... because clearly they're not even close to getting this.

This is why I hope... and even urge... you to take me up on my offer.

Let me send you the "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" I've been telling you about. You pay nothing — I'll explain it all at the end of the letter. I give it to you, because I'm that worried about where all this is going. As I said, your "bundle" will do two key things.

First it answers the question nobody else seems to be answering clearly, which is — put plainly — what happened? How did we get in this mess and where did the good life in America disappear to.

Second, your bundle takes you to the next level... showing you exactly how to get out of this mess. As an American but also on a very personal level. Including steps you can take, right now, to start enough regular personal "bailout" checks so that you never have to rely on the U.S. government for your own future again.

Here's a close look at what you'll receive...

"Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" Tool #1:Your FREE DVD of the Award-winning Documentary, I.O.U.S.A.

It's absolutely key that you understand how we got where we are now... and as quickly as possible.

And I know of no faster way to do that than to see a very important documentary that's just now coming out on DVD.

It's called I.O.U.S.A.

And I guarantee that it will make you smarter than anyone you know about this crisis.

Why am I so sure?

Because I made this movie myself, along with an award-winning director and a "cast" of some of the biggest minds and best known names in finance and politics.

It took us more than two years... with over 500,000 air miles traveled between us... as well as far too many nights away from my young family... and many around-the-clock writing and editing sessions... but I can tell you right now, it was worth it.

I've never believed in any mission more in my life.

And I've never worked so closely with something this important.

When you see the film for yourself, I'm confident you'll agree.

But to tell the truth, when I first got the idea to do this... on a snowy weekend in a New Hampshire cabin... I had no idea it would go as far or become as big a phenomenon as it has.

Nor did I have any way of knowing how timely this movie's message would be. See, this all started with a bestseller that I co-wrote in 2005, called Empire of Debt.

The book was a big hit. And I spent time talking to press, radio and TV pundits about it, across the nation — including CNN, Fox Business News, and The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Times.

You're not going to believe some of the people we managed to get on film... and all of them so fed up with how America had mortgaged off its future, they've decided they just can't afford to keep quiet anymore.

People like Congressman Ron Paul, billionaire investor Warren Buffett, and former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neil, for instance... who all play "starring" roles in the movie.

And of course, David Walker, the former head of the U.S. General Accounting Office... who walks you through the crisis start to finish, as we follow him across the country — along with the head of the famous Concord Coalition, Bob Bixby — on his controversial "Fiscal Wake Up Tour."

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, who helped rescue America from inflation in the early 1980s, also steps in, urging action.

So does more recently retired Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, who says more in this movie about how we got where we are than perhaps in the many days of testimony he gave Congress during his tenure.

Then there's Clinton's former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, who oversaw the only years of balanced budgets in the last three decades... along with Peter Peterson, the billionaire founder of the Blackstone Group... who has gotten so worried about the world we're handing off to our grandchildren, he's put up $1 billion of his own money to get this message out... including a direct $2.5 million investment in the film itself. The list goes on...

You might recognize some of these names. Others might be new to you. But be certain, the handful of people desperately waging this "unsung" war against government waste are out there. In the free I.O.U.S.A. DVD I'll send you, you'll hear what they have to say.

Including why this battle against government waste is so important, that losing it could literally mean losing the "republic" our founding fathers sought to create.

As I said, it's free — yours as part of the "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" I want to send you. You can claim it right now, as long as I hear from you while I still have copies left. If this information is so important for everyone to see, why such a strict limit on my invitation?

The First Crisis Our New President MUST Address

I'm sure you can understand... I've come to care about this message. Maybe more than any other I've worked with or written about in my lifetime. And to me, it's not just another news story.

It's the most important crisis in America right now.

See the film and judge for yourself.

I'm sure you'll agree that, now that the election is over and the next White House agenda is already taking shape, we cannot let up on this. We must demand a solution now... or risk watching the whole situation get MUCH worse.

How much worse?

The ticking debt bomb you'll see detailed in your free copy of I.O.U.S.A. will make today's stock market blowout look like a wet firecracker. Next up, much more than the banks will go down.

We stand to lose our entire way of life.

Even saying that, you must think I'm some kind of alarmist. And that's okay. Just promise me you'll send for your free copy of the new I.O.U.S.A. DVD... and watch it for yourself... before you make up your own mind.

And promise me this too... when you watch it, don't watch it alone. Watch it with your family, your friends, and anybody else you even remotely care about.

This is that important.

And yes, as I said, I am sending you this movie at my own expense. Yours free. I cover all the costs, including shipping and handling. As if that weren't reason enough for you to watch this, let me just tell you how other viewers have reacted.

For instance, when I.O.U.S.A. debuted earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, every seat was filled. I almost couldn't get tickets to see my own movie. And when it was over, the crowd gave it a standing ovation. What's more, the judges nominated I.O.U.S.A. for the festival's Grand Jury Prize.

It happened again just recently, at the New Hampshire Film Festival — my home state — where I.O.U.S.A. just won first prize as the "Best Documentary." And in the reviews too, where both The Economist and the New York Times recommended I.O.U.S.A. as critical viewing for every American.

Meanwhile, the Hollywood industry paper, Variety, lovingly called our little film a "stat-studded geekfest" and "an alternately amusing and alarming primer on America's off-the-charts fiscal irresponsibility"...

"This film is no wallow in wonkiness," says the Los Angeles Times, "but a surprisingly sprightly tough-love lesson in fiscal responsibility.

Even top film critic Roger Ebert gives I.O.U.S.A. 3½ stars out of four and says, "... it accomplishes an amazing thing. It explains the national debt..."

Still need to hear more? The list goes on.

The Kansas City Star writes, "Future generations may regard I.O.U.S.A. as the most important film of 2008." Even the Huffington Post says, "Stop what you're doing... go see this movie! This is the single most important film you will see this year..."

During the early release this summer, Canadians crossed the boarder, driving hours to the closest theaters... civic groups in U.S. cities snapped up tickets... politicians bought out theaters in their home towns... and MTV, CBS' 60 Minutes and even the trendy Colbert Report ran stories.

I'm proud. I'm hopeful. But I know we're not even close to done.

Not until I can get this movie and this message into the hands of everybody who has the smarts to understand just how critically dangerous this crisis has become. That's why I want you to have your own free copy of the film.

So you can get up to speed... so you can get inspired... so you know how to protect yourself... and so you can help us spread the message too. Sending you this free copy of the new I.O.U.S.A. DVD is the best way, by far, to make sure all this happens. And happens in time that we can get this on the desk of the next leader of the free world, come January.

Look, this is very simple. Every single financial decision you make personally is about to change. Don't you want to have a say in how those changes unfold?

The bureaucrats won't start talking about this on their own. And the world's power brokers don't want them to. But that's because they're not the ones who will have to pay the price.

You are.

So are your children.

And your grandchildren.

The housing bust... the banking collapse... high energy prices... soaring health care costs... the collapse of Social Security... and trillions in lost retirement savings... they're all tied to what you'll see in your copy of the movie. In ways you never imagined possible.

Let me send you the free copy of the new DVD, at no charge to you, and you can discover exactly what it is I'm talking about. Others who've already seen I.O.U.S.A. are just as deeply moved about this as I am. And I'd like nothing more if we can show you this and bring you on board, as well.

Says R. Einhorn, one of our own Agora Financial readers...

"I saw I.O.U.S.A. last night... Kudos... I have only one thing to say - the film was absolutely the most important film I have seen in my life. It should be mandatory viewing by everyone in the United States... Congratulations. "

And E. Spann, another reader, wrote me directly to tell me...

"I drove two hours each way to see I.O.U.S.A... it was top notch... very well produced and the facts delivered were truly eye-opening... Everyone needs to see this! Excellent movie — well worth the drive!"

Yes, of course I know that we could easily sell these just-released copies of I.O.U.S.A. on Amazon.com. And we will, too. And on that site and others like it, top documentary releases go for as much as $26.95. Personally, I think that's even too little to charge.

Yet, for a limited time... you can get your copy of this award-winning movie... absolutely free. Gratis. No charge. As one of the tools I'm including in the "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" my team and I just put together. And I'll tell you how to get it in a moment.

I have secured these copies by special contract, just for you.

But only if I hear back from you while I still have copies left to give away.

After that, this window closes and you'll have to pay for your copy just like everybody else. But, of course, getting a free copy of the new I.O.U.S.A. DVD is just the beginning of what you get with your free "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle"...

"Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" Tool #2: Your FREE I.O.U.S.A.  Companion Book, With Personal Interviews From The Top Financial Minds in America

Imagine if you could sit down and talk markets with the most successful investor in history, Warren Buffett.

Imagine if you could get solo time in a room with Alan Greenspan or financial magazine giant, Steve Forbes.

Imagine Paul O'Neil, the Treasury Secretary Bush fired for saying deficits DO matter, telling you how he saw this coming... and why he couldn't get the White House to listen.

What if you could ask Paul Volcker, the Fed Chairman who helped end America's last inflation crisis under Reagan, to answer the question, "What's next?"

That's exactly the experience I had while making the documentary I'm about to send.

While we filmed I.O.U.S.A., we met with and interviewed some of the heaviest hitters from both Wall Street and Washington. Robert Rubin... Ron Paul... billionaire Blackstone Group founder Pete Peterson... Arthur Laffer... and our own favorite bestselling author, William Bonner.

I got to sit across the table from all of them.

What would you do if you had the same chance? Well, today you have just that same chance...

Of course you'd want their behind-the-scenes perspective on what's happened to America... and what they see happening next. You'd also want to know what answers they have to offer.

And you'll find all this in the second "tool" in your "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle," the companion book to the I.O.U.S.A. movie. Inside, you'll find the full text of all these expert interviews.

All of these giants are convinced, as I am, we face a much more serious situation than the politicians and Wall Street pros are willing to tell you. And that there's no way to wish it away without taking action, both personally and on a bigger scale.

Listen as...

Warren Buffett tells me what he really thinks of gold as an investment... and he's convinced there's still plenty of hope for America and for investors, if a few very basic things happen (pg.175)

Dr. Alan Greenspan tells me what he still feels he did right during his time at the Fed, along with what will have to change if our way of life as a nation is going to last (pg. 169)

Paul Volcker, who helped oversee the bull market of the 1980s, reveals the one greatest danger the next president faces, plus how he hopes Washington will go about it (pg. 161)

Congressman Ron Paul reveals the Big Lie behind the "surplus" of the late 1990s, shows how America got into this mess, and names exactly what we need to do to get back on track (pg. 147)

Fired Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill gives the blow-by-blow conversation he had with Dick Cheney that cost him his job, as well as the one question you had to ask yourself on Nov. 4, 2008 (pg. 205)

Robert Rubin, who topped the Treasury Department during the 1990s boom, names the one thing that could guarantee America a recovery and years of economic boom.

Plus more....

I recently got a message from the chief editor of a trade magazine for financial planners. In a feature article, he told his 125,000 readers — all of them financial planners themselves — to buy the I.O.U.S.A. companion book and share it with their children.

And he had done the same himself, sharing copies with his two teenagers... because, he told me, he wanted them to "learn by example" how important it is to live sensibly with your money.

Already the book sales have hit #1 on Amazon.com. Not to brag, but the book has even swept right past Barack Obama's book! I expect the copies I have access to, to go quickly — and that doesn't count the 535 copies we've already sent to every Senator and Representative in Congress (all 535 of them).

The book is listing for as much as $19.95 online. But I've arranged a very special deal, direct with Amazon.com, where I will cover all the costs of ordering the book — including shipping — so I can send it to you directly as my gift, absolutely free.

As the second key part of your "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle."

The book and the DVD work very closely together to get you up to speed on the crisis and how we got here... not in a way that's written or shown for economists, but as entertainingly and accessibly as possible.

You'll read the interviews. You'll see these experts talking plainly and candidly on camera. And then, once the book and the movie together make plain the problems we all face... the rest of your "bailout bundle" actually shows you what to do.

Specifically, it shows you how to recover your retirement security without having to count on the so-called government bailout... with checks you can pay directly to your account. As many as 78 over the next 24 months.

Here's how it works...

"Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" Tool #3: Lock in as Many Personal "Bailout" Checks as You Need, Right Now and for the Rest of Your Life

If the free copy of the I.O.U.S.A. DVD and the companion book are yours to bring you up to speed on the broad crisis, this next "weapon" against financial wipeout shows you how to protect yourself at a much more personal level.

Namely, with as many as 78 cash "bailout" checks you could deposit in your bank account over the next 24 months ahead.

Not to mention, as many more of these checks as you decide you'll need... for the rest of your life.

Let me explain.

And I'll start by asking you this: exactly how much of that $7.2 trillion dumped into the government bailouts so far has actually ended up in your personal account?

In case you're under any delusions, I'll just tell you: zero.

Not a penny of that is for bailing out Americans at the personal level.

It goes to the banks. The fat cats. The punk hedge fund managers who, just a year ago, were drinking $10,000 bottles of wine and eating Kobe sirloin in "bottle bars" and restaurants in Manhattan.

Even if you get a government check, don't be fooled.

Because every penny of it came directly from the taxpayers — that's you — already. Politicians put money in your hand... after pulling it right out of your own back pocket. I don't know how you feel about that, but if you ask me it's a raw deal.

Which is why I think you might like this third "tool" in our new "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" even more than you like my movie. Because this is where you'll find the specific action plan we put together that can help bail you out of this filthy mess.

That is, this is where one of my most trusted analysts, former commercial banker Chris Mayer, shows you directly how to collect as many as 78 personal "bailout" paychecks over the next 24 months.

You can even mark the dates these checks will arrive on your calendar.

(The next payout date is March 15 — see the chart to the right for details).

Worried about rising energy costs... higher health care... your grandchild's college tuition expenses... or shrinking retirement options? This "personal bailout" plan gives you a way to make all that worry go away.

Included in your free "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" is a brand new special report, The Ultimate "Paycheck" Portfolio: Double-Digit Yields... Even in Flat Markets.

It details this entire plan... in simple, easy-to-follow terms.

No more depending on bureaucrats... no more fears about the future of "Social Insecurity" or other doomed government programs... no more worries about whether you'll run out of money before your time.

The Single Best Way to Make Sure You'll Never Run Out of Money

This is "get paid while you sleep" money.

You don't work for it.

You don't qualify for it with some government agency.

And there are no age requirements or income requirements. All this strategy does is show you how to tap into an endless stream of income, starting right now.

It lasts as long as you need it. And starts as soon as a few weeks from when you send for this report, with your first check. As many as 78 checks follow, all sent automatically to your account.

As I write this, the next payout dates for this strategy are right around the corner...

March 15, 2009 (two checks)

March 30, 2009

April 1, 2009

April 15, 2009 (two checks)

You can spend them, cash them, save them... whatever you want.

Some people who do this retire early. Others pile the money on top of what they've already socked away, speeding up the growth of their nest egg.

Either way, you start getting paid.

Use the money to help put your grandchildren through school... or go back to school yourself and study something you love... make a fat donation toward a cause you believe in... or just leave the automatic deposits untouched, while you enjoy the security of knowing they will be there when you need them.

Just in 2009 alone, you'll find another 39 cash payout dates already on the schedule. Your copy of The Ultimate Paycheck Portfolio: Double-Digit Yields... Even in Flat Markets shows you how to get started.

One of the best aspects of this is how easy it is to set up.

It takes only about five minutes on the phone with a broker.

And then, that's it. The rest is automatic. No need to keep running to your computer screen to track every market blip. No need to get a ball in your throat as you watch the nightly financial news.

One of the best parts about this — other than the steady cash payouts — is the simplicity and security of doing this. Chris Mayer, who put this whole strategy together, is one of the most safety-minded analysts in my network of experts.

Simply do what he shows you in your free copy of this report, The Ultimate "Paycheck" Portfolio: Double-Digit Yields... Even in Flat Markets, and the rest will take care of itself.

Yes, it's a strategy that can work for you even right now.

This may even be the best opportunity for you to do this in a long time.

The "personal bailout paycheck" strategy works in a recession too. During market volatility. And it should keep on working for you exceptionally well during a market recovery, too.

Just like it's already working for the many Americans who've discovered how this works...

Just this past spring, Richard M. collected two passive "paychecks" worth $3,314 each. He's collected many more just like them. And he'll collect more, on top of that, over the weeks and months ahead

Steve R. got paid $3,600 on April 9... collected another check for $4,200 less than a month later... and took another $3,481 two weeks after that. Without lifting a finger

Former chauffer Vern J. used to drive rich people around to make money. He just got a check recently for $7,700 — money he "earned" in his sleep

Gary C. almost died on Sept. 11. Today, not only is he doing fine, but he just received an automatic passive "paycheck" worth $25,610 — with more just like it on the way

What would you do with an extra $8,809 windfall? That's what Daniel F. got paid in the check he automatically received on June 6, 2008. He'll have gotten more just like it by the time you read this

Jeff E.'s passive "paycheck" deposits are worth an estimated $27,636 each. And he's eligible to get several of those checks sent to him automatically, each year

50-year-old Marty M. doesn't really need extra cash. But that won't stop him from banking his next passive "paycheck," for an estimated $53,331, just weeks from the day you read this letter

Ian R.'s most recent passive "payday" topped $88,719

Then there's Jeff K. His passive "paycheck" on April 8, 2008, totaled around $98,057. That's just one of many passive "paychecks" he'll collect this year.

Once you let me send you a free copy of this report, The Ultimate "Paycheck" Portfolio: Double-Digit Yields... Even in Flat Markets, you'll see how simple and sensible this is.

Once you get the ball rolling on this strategy, the checks can start rolling in pretty fast. A few hundred dollars each month. Thousands of dollars. Even hundreds of thousands of dollars over a year's time, piling up in your account.

Almost regardless of the scandals and shakeouts taking place on Wall Street.

You can get started with very little, and take this to whatever level you need.

Imagine $1,500 to $2,000 extra per month... early on... with that amount growing by as much as $5,000... $8,000... $10,000 or even $15,000 extra.

Just doing what you'll find in the report.

Think of it like an extra "safety net" or think of it like a whole "lifestyle upgrade."

Either way, here's a quick glimpse at what you'll find in the free report...

Automatic "Paycheck" #1: An $838.4 Million Giveaway You Can Still
Tap This Year
This first move pays you back a fat 9% return on the value of the shares you hold in this company. That's already nearly three times what some people collect on CD accounts. And I expect it to jump over 10%, based on estimated distributions for next year.

Automatic "Paycheck" #2: Every Month, a Juicy 12.4% "Paycheck" on One of Wall Street's Safest Bets
This company has paid shareholders at least 12.25% gains automatically on the value of its shares since the company first opened its doors in March 2001. That means it's held true on its promise to take care of income first for 87 payouts in a row. With energy still hitting record highs, this could easily be a long-haul income stream for you, too.

Automatic "Paycheck" #3: The Family Business That Spews Out Billionaires
Insiders have just snapped up 392,000 of their own shares. While still paying a handsome 7% automatic return to shareholders, in the form of cash "paychecks." That's double what it doled out in 2005. And it says nothing about how much your money could grow just in the value of the shares themselves. This could be the best combined growth and income stock you'll come across anywhere. Including an April 2010 law that could double your money.

Automatic "Paycheck" #4: The Safest Double-Digit Payout In America
Right now, this doles out automatic "paychecks" worth 5.3% of anything you put in, which you can leave there untouched. But here's an extra bonus: Even as I write, this solid company has grown shareholder money by a handsome 26.3%. Tie together the payouts and the growth and you could be looking at making a safe, solid 10 — 15% per year, on this one move alone.

Automatic "Paycheck" #5: What Could Be Better Than Making a
"Tax Free" 280%...?
Anything that pays better than 10% automatically, year in and year out, is already a great return. But this one move has also beefed up its payouts by 10.4% every year for the last five years. So you could be looking for a lot more with this one move, with each "paycheck" that's deposited in your account. And the tax benefits make it all the juicier.

You can imagine, it's pretty hard to put a value on a strategy that could give you a steady, non-working income for the rest of your life. Income which, in fact, can grow over time.

I could certainly offer this by itself. It would be a bargain, at any price.

But again, it's also included in the "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" I'll send you, along with your free copy of the I.O.U.S.A. DVD and companion book.

And then, there's one more thing...

PLUS: Around the Clock Coverage of the Only Stocks You Should Own as the Economy Crawls Out of This Hole

Just in case you've got the wrong idea, let me just say...

Long term, I'm not at all gloom and doom.

I firmly believe we'll come out of this crisis. The answers are out there. And getting them across with the help of the "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" I'll send you can only help.

But I also believe that future will look a lot different from what you're used to today.

And that includes the way millions of Americans invest on Wall Street.

See, the stocks that dominated headlines in the recent past... the high fliers without clear road maps... the debt-loaded juggernauts who crash and burn with flare... the "cut and run" companies that take shareholder money and disappear the minute the economy turns sour...

They're finished. At least for now.

And hopefully forever.

Forget the buckaroo hedge fund managers. Forget the pump-and-dump brokers. Forget the fat cat CEOs who bailed out with their multi-million dollar "golden" parachute pensions.

In the near future and for the long-term, the companies that will pull you out of this financial quagmire... are the companies that practice the same principles of financial discipline you and I wish our government would adopt.

I'm talking, of course, about the savers and innovators, the cash-and-asset rich companies with a roadmap for profits and top management that's as committed to the shareholder as they are to the future of the company itself.

These companies aren't always easy to find.

Which is why the crown jewel I'll give you, also as part of your free "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle," is a special, sought-after stock market research service called Capital & Crisis.

I'm including up to 12 free months of this service with your "bundle."

I don't know if you've heard of this service.

Or if you've heard of the genius who created it.

His name is Chris Mayer. And he's not your average analyst. He's no broker or Wall Street refuge either. Instead, he's a hard-nosed ex-banker and financial officer... the former vice president of one of America's oldest and prestigious lenders, Provident Bank.

This has a lot to do with why you're going to want to turn to Chris to find out which opportunities in the market are set to recover... and which are set to give up the ghost.

See, Chris is what you might call a serious "money geek."

He reads Austrian economists during breakfast. He sends me email messages, fired up about footnotes in company quarterly reports. Every year, he's one of those guys who goes out to Omaha for the annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting (Chris owns shares).

But here's what really sets his analysis apart.

Most brokers usually have your money on the line, but not theirs. Not so for Chris. During his tenure as a banker, he managed over $200 million of the bank's own money. What's more, it was up to Chris to make the call on commercial loans to companies worth as much as $400 million and more.

You can imagine, where brokers might barely glance at a company's annual report before recommending shares to buy, Chris didn't have that luxury then. And he doesn't take it now.

I don't know of anybody who burrows deeper into the numbers... digging out hidden liabilities... delving past price-to-earnings ratios and the other standard smoke-and-mirrors stock-picking myths perpetrated by Wall Street.

His analysis is so thorough, it could make even an IRS auditor blush.

And he's always looking for the same thing: Companies that own what he calls "assets that sweat." And lots of them. That simply means, he's looking only for companies caught up in a powerful self-renewing cycle of wealth.

There's never been a great American family legacy of wealth without it.

The Rockefellers. The Carnegies. The Kennedys. Sam Walton's empire. They've all made fortunes building their businesses this way. Chris applies the same theory to building a winning portfolio.

Already, Chris has won plenty of attention with his brilliant approach. Maybe you've seen him on financial shows like Fox's "Bulls & Bears"... Forbes on Fox... and the CNBC financial reports. Or maybe you've read his book, Invest Like a Dealmaker: Secrets From a Former Banking Insider.

About four years ago, he got my attention too.

That's when I asked him to leave his job behind and join our team. Since then, he's lead a group of like-minded, safety and quality oriented market watchers — using what's become one of our flagship services, the monthly research advisory letter Capital & Crisis I mentioned to you earlier.

And he's done it with a steady hand... and impressive track record, cramming the pipeline with one winner after another. Take a look at these closed positions from the Capital & Crisis portfolio and see for yourself...

And just listen to what some of his 47,000 subscribers are saying...

"The Best Newsletter I've Found So Far" "I just want to say that I have subscribed to quite a few investment newsletters before, and this is the best one that I have found so far. You have turned me from a trader into an investor with your investment insights. I would just like to thank you for this newsletter. Keep up the good work."
— R.D.

"Chris Has Grown My Investment by Fivefold in a Month" "You recommended a short sale of Japanese bonds through Chris Foster at Friedberg Mercantile in Toronto. I followed your recommendation, and through careful and constant attention, my small $5,000 investment has grown by over fivefold in a month... I enjoy and look forward to your monthly communiqués. Keep up the good work!"
— J. Redmond

"I Will Be a Long-Term Subscriber" "I just subscribed to Capital & Crisis this month. I've been reading through the back issues of your newsletter, and I just wanted to tell you how impressed I am with your writing style and content (and your track record too, of course). Reading through the archives is like getting a university-level education on sound investing principles. I am very much impressed with your letter and think it is very likely I will be a long-term subscriber."
— L. Prokop

"I Wish I Had Been Reading Such Thoughtful Analysis 24 Years Ago" "After spending 24 years in the investment business (and building assets under management to $350 million), your insights are probably the best I have seen. Your study of the great money managers, past and present, and your ability to succinctly distill, explain and relate their philosophies to your specific recommendations is a true talent. I only wish I had been reading such thoughtful analysis 24 years ago."
— S. Ostlund

"It's Probably the Smartest Letter I've Ever Seen" "I'm quite a new subscriber, but I must say that I really love it. It's probably the smartest letter I've ever seen, and believe me, I've seen a lot of them in more than 10 years. Congratulations for the good job."
— M. Dejolier

I'm telling you this because — especially in the markets my team and I see ahead — I want you to know you're covered, with only the best financial research at your fingertips.

Which is why I'd like to start sending you — with your permission — up to 12 months of Chris' Capital & Crisis, absolutely free. Gratis for up to a full year, along with your free "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle."

It's that important to me that you move ahead in these rough-and-tumble times without taking risks you don't need to take... but without sacrificing performance in the name of quality.

I know of no better way for you to do this right now than with the help of Chris Mayer and Capital & Crisis, delivered direct to your mailbox — and your email inbox, if you like — like clockwork every month.

Of course, you'll get all the same benefits his other subscribers get... including Chris' direct weekly email updates on the markets and his portfolio... plus your own password-protected access to the members-only Capital & Crisis website.

The undiscovered bargains... the rock-solid "lifetime stock" performers... the shockingly safe big growth opportunities... heavy-hitting income producers... you'll find them all in one issue and update after another...

You'll find it all in your issues.

And like I said, this subscription could be yours free for up to 12 months.

Let me know when you're ready to get started.

Just don't wait too long.

I've already given away over 11,500 copies of the DVD and companion text alone. I'd hate for the rest of the copies to run out before I hear from you.

What's more, if you act soon enough, you can receive your first work-free "paycheck" within days!

Unlike Any Offer I've Ever Made (or Will Ever Make Again)

Counting on our leaders to fix this crisis hasn't worked in the past.

It's not likely we'll be able to count on them in the future.

Unless you and I know as much as we can about how they got us here, where we are right now, and what we can demand they do about it — immediately — while there's still time.

I must hear from while I still have FREE copies of the I.O.U.S.A movie and book to give away. After that, your chance to get this "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" FREE could expire forever.

As I said, it doesn't have to cost you a dime.

Simply follow the order instructions at the end of this letter. And that's all you need to do to receive your "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" immediately.

It's that simple.

If you're still on the fence, then let me just put it to you this way...

Look around you to see where we are now. With their homes, most Americans are in a hole. On Wall Street, most Americans are in a hole. And in Washington, we're in a very deep hole — the deepest in history.

Trillions of dollars are already gone. Vanished. Trillions more, in future security, are now on the line. Think ill-conceived bailouts and modest rallies can bring back that sense of security you had not so long ago? Think again. We have crossed a bridge. And it has collapsed behind us.

Do you want to wait to find out where we're headed next?

Or would you rather know right now, while there's still something you can do about it... both to protect yourself and your loved ones... and maybe do something to help change the course for America.

If what you'll see in the movie I'm sending you is any indication, our destiny is still in flux. The outcome could be ugly... but it could also be miraculously positive.

And it can all depend on the step you choose to take... or not take...

Right now.

My Strictly Limited Invitation

As I said, I only have a limited number of the just-released I.O.U.S.A. DVDs that I can give away. And I've already given away 11,500 copies so far — not including the 535 copies we rushed to each member of Congress.

If the remaining supply of DVDs and companion texts runs out, you're out of luck — you'll have to wait until the movie goes up for sale to the general public on Amazon.com.

But I'm hoping that won't be the case.

I'd much rather send it to you now free of charge.

So let's just run through all this again quickly. Send for the FREE "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" I've put together and...

You'll immediately go on the rush delivery list for a full copy of the new I.O.U.S.A. DVD, the award-winning documentary that won a standing ovation at Sundance... and that lays bare the "unmentionable" crisis about to knock America off its feet. Other films like this list on Amazon.com for $26.95, but your copy of this DVD is absolutely free.

I'll also rush you the companion book to the I.O.U.S.A. movie, which comes complete with full personal interviews on the crisis — with Warren Buffett, Congressman Ron Paul, Dr. Alan Greenspan, Paul Volcker, Steve Forbes, former Treasury Secretaries Robert Rubin and Paul O'Neill, William Bonner, and more. This book already hit #1 on Amazon and lists for $19.95. Your copy, as part of the "bailout bundle," is also free.

You'll also immediately discover how to line up your own personal "bailout" checks, with the help of the brand new special report I'll include, The Ultimate "Paycheck" Portfolio: Double-Digit Yields... Even in Flat Markets. The simple strategy inside can help you line up as many as 78 cash paychecks over the next 24 months... plus more of these income paychecks, for as long as you need them. To put a price tag on this strategy is impossible, but your copy of the report that explains how it works is also yours completely free of charge.

Along with your package deal, you'll also get up to a full year FREE of Chris Mayer's highly acclaimed stock-market research letter Capital & Crisis. It's one of the most successful and best loved services I publish, and normally lists at $159 per year. But you'll get up to 12 issues — a full year's worth — free when you accept my invitation below.

And of course, everybody who receives Chris' Capital & Crisis letter also gets Chris' weekly portfolio updates — sent directly to your email inbox — and a private password to Chris' members-only Capital & Crisis website.

Can I just say, about Capital & Crisis, it's easily the one research letter in my stable that makes me consistently proud. And Chris' current readers definitely agree.

His reader retention rates — that's the number we look at to see how many subscribers stick around to hear more of what Chris has to say — are among the highest in the business.

This is why I normally list Chris' letter and all of these bonuses for $159 per year — a price we've already had to raise once because this special deal has already been so popular. But I believe so much in this message, I've decided to keep it simple for just a little longer.

Today, you can get up to a full year free, along with the rest of your deal.

But here's the thing. I don't just want to give away my limited I.O.U.S.A. copies or Chris' letter to anybody who isn't as serious about today's situation as I am.

So I'm asking you to make a small gesture to show you're committed.

It's simply this... as you accept your free gifts — the book, the DVD, and the special "Paycheck Portfolio" lifetime income report — simply agree to also try Chris' Capital & Crisis letter for up to two years. That's all.

If you agree to sign up for Chris' Capital & Crisis for two years, I'll throw in the second year absolutely free. That is, you'll get a full 24 issues — two years worth — while paying just $129 for everything. That's actually better than half off.

Quite a deal.

However, if you'd rather take a smaller step, that's okay too.

Just agree to sign up for Capital & Crisis one year. And again, I'll cut the new $159 per year price in half to just $79 — that's like paying only for the first six months... and then getting the second six months absolutely free.

Also a very good deal.

And of course, remember you're getting all those free months worth of "re-bound" stock research included with your free copy of the new I.O.U.S.A. DVD... plus the just-printed, 262-page I.O.U.S.A. companion book... and the special personal "bailout" cash stream strategy you'll find in your free copy of Chris' newest report, The Ultimate "Paycheck" Portfolio: Double-Digit Yields... Even in Flat Markets.

All in one "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" — yours free today.

But Didn't I Say "No Catch?"

But wait... didn't I say, early in this letter, you could get everything in your "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle" with no strings attached?

I certainly did. And I'm going to stick to that promise.

So here's how the last and most important part of this invitation works...

If at any time whatsoever in the first 90 days of your membership you decide that Chris' 100% trial subscription isn't for you, you can cancel for a full refund of your initial subscription deal. And by 100%, I mean a full cash refund check sent directly to you... that covers every penny you originally paid to subscribe. No questions asked. And, if you decide to cancel after that initial 90 days, you will receive a full refund for all of your unsent issues.

And by the way, I don't care if you call me on this deal on the 89th day of your subscription. The refund is yours to claim, if you don't like everything I send.

And yes, you still get to keep everything. Including the DVD, the book and the special report. In case you don't want to do the math, let me just add this up for you...

Everything included in the "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundle," from the DVD (worth at least $26.95), the special companion book (lists for $19.95), the special income stream strategy report ($59), and up to a year's worth of Capital & Crisis at today's published price ($159)... adds up to just under $265.

That's $265 worth of market insight, protection, and strategy... at a time when millions of Americans need it most... and that doesn't even include the $21 in shipping charges I'm going to eat on my end, just for the book and DVD... or the costs of producing and mailing your issues and the special report, which we also cover.

Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of air miles and other travel expenses we wracked up while making the film... or the cost of keeping a guy as high-level as Chris Mayer on our team.

Yet, I'm making it all available to you today... free.

No charge if you accept my invitation to join Capital & Crisis.

Like I said, however, I don't have millions of "Emergency 'Personal Bailout' Bundles" to give away. It's a limited number of copies. And then your only alternative is to go to the web or a bookstore and pay for a copy out of your own pocket.

I've already given away over 11,500 of these free copies... I have some more left, but that supply won't last forever.

When they're gone, that's it. You're out of luck.
