A special Sunday Edition......

Probably by now you have heard of the news of the closing of the second largest bank on record in Pasadena, California last Friday. The Government shut down IndyMac Bank, a mortgage lender. The bank is the largest regulated thrift to fail and the second largest financial institution to close in U.S. history. The slogan on their door, "You Can Count On Us" . There is no telling the potential effect on the opening of the financial markets, but you can bet the FEDS will do anything possible to prevent a major sell off. My message here is that all of us must be aware that ultimately, we must be the responsible party and we must protect ourselves in these cold and dangerous waters. Do not rely totally on your bank, broker, your family or the U.S. Government to bail you out. You need to make a plan. I believe we are still in the early stages of this financial storm which could totally destroy us unless we are prepared. How do we position ourselves?   Buy gold, silver, mining shares and long-term warrants or LEAPS on mining shares.

FDIC - IndyMac Bank Failure

I have notified our subscribers that we will soon be including Options & LEAPS in our database with some limited leverage calculations and some choices of which to purchase.  As there are many different expiring dates and strike prices it would be impossible for us to cover them all but we will look for those with the longest lives first. This will add incredible value to your subscription to our warrant database.  Some of the big name natural resource companies now have LEAPS going out to January 2010 which is sufficient to capture the 'time frame' we see for the next major up move we anticipate in the junior mining shares. As you know, our specialty is warrants, but, we see opportunity in some of the LEAPS.

Our basic service starting at $19.95 per month gives you access to our database for those who wish to make there own decisions. 
My favorite service is "A Look Over My Shoulder" which gives you access to my personal portfolio, my personal comments on the markets, other analysts opinions and highlights on specific shares or warrants in my portfolio. This is provided via a video/audio update each Thursday Evening and is available for $49.95 per month.

If you signup first for the warrant database, you will then be entitled to signup for "A Look Over My Shoulder" for only $39.95.  Thus for $59.95 a month you have the entire package.

....and this week we bring you an article by Frank Holmes, a friend and supporter of our service.

Commodities Are Strong, But Which Ones Are Strongest?

Knowledge is an essential piece of the investment equation, but Action is necessary to put all of this knowledge into play.
