Dear Reader, As subscribers to my award winning The Complete Investor newsletter have surely noticed, their portfolios have been doing well in recent months. Despite the recent volatility, were sitting on some very handsome gains and are well-positioned to take advantage of the leading, long-term trends. However, rather than rest on our laurels, were always striving to make our service even betterto find more powerful ways to help you make money and take advantage of current market conditions. Im writing to you today to offer you just such an opportunity. It all started with three stocks my staff was investigating as possible additions to our Small Cap Value Portfolio. All were exceptionally promising companies. Each stock was reasonably valuedif not downright cheap. But what made them truly exciting was that each company was a strong candidate for being bought out by a larger firm. Such takeover offers, as you probably know from reading the financial news, can drive the price of a small companys shares substantially higher in a matter of a few days or even hours. So we were pretty eager to give you the chance to get in on these three stocks. However, as it turned out, we were more right than we wanted to be. Before we could get our buy recommendations to you, the companies announced that they were in fact being bought out. The share prices jumped almost instantly, and the windows of opportunity were closed. Naturally, I was disappointed that we had missed the chance to take advantage of the short-term leap the stocks had made. After reviewing what happened, I realized I needed a better way to help you cash in on opportunities like these. So that next time we find a stock that seems positioned to make a large, sudden gain (and we find quite a few of these on a regular basis), we can get the information to you quickly, so you can get in well ahead of time. We needed to construct an easy-to-use strategy to help you maximize your returnsone based on a straightforward buy low, sell high method, that didnt involve risky or complicated options techniques like calls, puts or straddles. Im happy to announce that I now have a way to do all that. And it couldnt have come at a better time. You see, there are going to be a lot more short-term trading opportunities over the coming months that you wont want to miss. Let me explain
Range-Bound Markets Will Make Short-Term Trading The Most Profitable Strategy For Some Time In recent months, I have become very concerned about the risk that rising inflation will soon limit stock market returns. Part of the problem is that inflation is being driven by higher commodity prices, which are in turn driven by the tremendous growth taking place in the developing worldChindia®, South America, and even Africa. According to the IMF, worldwide growth will be at record levels this year and next, with 50% of it coming from the developing world. Consequently, commodities continue to grow more expensive. (To take one example, in the past year the CRB Index of Raw Industrial Prices rose over 22%.) On top of that, weakness in the U.S. dollar and a worldwide trend towards increasing monetary liquidity are adding to inflationary pressures. The January dip in stock prices is prompting the U.S. Federal Reserve to lower interest ratesproving that Chairman Bernanke prefers to promote growth rather than control inflation. This combination of strong growth and higher inflation will most likely result in stock prices being confined to a trading range. Growth will stop stocks from falling too much, while inflation will create an effective ceiling on prices. Heres a simple illustration
As you can see, trading ranges are marked by short price swings within clear boundaries. They are frustrating for anyone holding a diversified portfolio for the long-term (although certain inflation-leveraged stocks should do very well). But the great thing about trading ranges is that they offer plenty of opportunities for short-term traders to buy near the bottom of the range and sell near the top. Repeat that process regularly, and you can make a lot of money in a relatively short period of time. Stocks That Can Rocket To New Heights
Practically Overnight! In addition to playing the trading range, there are many more types of short-term trades my new service covers. Youll also have the chance to profit from
Low-Priced Growth Stocks. One of the ways to target bigger short-term gains is to focus on low-priced shares. This gets you greater leverage without resorting to high-risk strategies like options or short-selling. Heres why
If you buy a $100 stock and it goes up $1, youve only made 1%. But if you buy a $5 stock, a $1 gain equals a 20% profit. I expect low-priced stocks of rapidly expanding businesses will give us some of some of the biggest gains in the market this year. Turnaround Plays. These are stocks with great potential that have been unfairly marked down by the marketsometimes because of temporary problems that are being resolved, sometimes because fundamentals get misinterpreted. Fortunately, sometimes all it takes is some positive news to make these shares jump back towards their former highsgiving a quick return for investors who bought during weakness. Short-term Dips in Long-Term Holds. Market dips are a great opportunity to load up on our favorite inflation-leveraged plays. For example, my favorite long-term inflation hedge is gold. In January, gold held up very well while most stocks took a tumble. But with interest rates dropping, they wont stay down for long. So we told short-term traders which gold stocks to buy while the bargains lasted. Takeover Candidates. As with three stocks I mentioned above, small companies that have developed a strong competitive edgesuch as a new drug, a resource discovery, or breakthrough technologyare prime candidates for short-term gains. Once theyve established the value of their assets, they can sell themselves to large cap companies with the resources to develop those assets. The result is often a big leap in the share price, and a big reward for early investors. Spin-Offs. Sometimes a large company will take one of its divisions publicusually because that division has a unique edge that will attract a lot of new investment. For example, a 2007 spin-off of EMC gained 44% in the first 8 days of tradingand we were along for the ride. Stocks in each of these categories tend to make sudden, huge moves upwards, giving you sizeable gains. Sometimes these moves occur over the course of a year. Sometimes it takes only a few months or even weeks. And some very exciting moves happen in a matter of weeks or even within a day. But before I tell you how to sign up, theres one factor you should know about thats essential to trading these stocks successfully
Buy and Sell At The Right Moment To Maximize Your Returns Like I said, the key to taking advantage of these short-term plays is timing. When a great opportunity appears, you may only have a few weeks or even only a day to take your position. Likewise, when its time to sell, you often must act fairly quickly to get out at the top. Thats why Ive designed Leebs Ground-Floor Trader to get you the information and trading signals you need, right when you need them. Every day, my staff and I scan the markets for low-priced stocks that are gearing up to make a big move. Generally, we find great opportunities once a week, and sometimes more often.

In fact, if you like, we can even call your cellphone with a message telling you to check your email or fax machine for the latest Alert. The Instant Trade Alert tells you everything you need to know about the opportunity what makes the stock appealing, why the timing is ideal, how much you should pay for your shares, and everything else you need to place a trade.
