Dear TCI Reader,

As I’m sure you have noticed, The Complete Investor’s portfolios have been doing great in recent months. Despite the recent volatility, we ’re 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, we’re always striving to make our service even better—to find more powerful ways to help you make money and take advantage of current market conditions. I’m 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 valued—if 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 company’s 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 returns—one based on a straightforward “buy low sell high” method, that didn’t involve risky or complicated options techniques like calls, puts or straddles.

I’m happy to announce that I now have a way to do all that. And it couldn’t 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 won’t 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 world—Chindia, 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 July/August dip in stock prices is prompting the U.S. Federal Reserve to lower interest rates—proving 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. Here’s 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, like those featured in TCI, 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. You’ll 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. Here’s why… If you buy a $100 stock and it goes up $1, you’ve 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 market—sometimes 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 highs—giving a quick return for investors 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 July-August, gold held up very well while most stocks—including gold shares—took a tumble. But with interest rates dropping, they won’t 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 edge—such as a new drug, a resource discovery, or breakthrough technology—are prime candidates for short-term gains. Once they’ve 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 public—usually because that division has a unique edge that will attract a lot of new investment. For example, a recent spin-off of EMC gained 44% in the first 8 days of trading—and 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, there’s one factor you should know about that’s 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 it’s time to sell, you often must act fairly quickly to get out at the top. That’s why I’ve designed Leeb’s 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. And when we find an opportunity too good to pass up, we send you an Instant Trade Alert by email or fax (your choice). 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. We make it as easy as possible.

We don’t do any trades involving complicated option methods such as naked puts, strangles, spreads…. There’s no difficult vocabulary to learn. And because email is so fast, you can execute a buy order just minutes after the stock has passed our scrutiny!

To help you keep track of all your positions, we will send you a weekly update, also by email or fax. Each update will cover important developments about the companies we are currently holding. Plus you’ll get our take on current market conditions and advance notice about what to expect for the coming week.

When it’s time to sell a stock, we’ll email you another Instant Trade Alert, so you can get out within minutes at the best possible price. There’s no worry or guesswork involved. We make short-term trading as easy and effortless as possible, so it will take only a few minutes a week for you to participate in some very exciting opportunities.

In fact, if you like the idea of making big money in short periods of time, Leeb’s Ground-Floor Trader is the ideal tool to help you. There are just so many opportunities lined up for the next few months where a nimble trader could make a real killing.

But before you make up your mind, there’s something else you should know. I have something else in store for you that could spell even higher profits …

SPECIAL BONUS

Get Your Share of the $Billions
Being Made In The IPO Market

For some time now I’ve been running a very successful service that helps investors make money in Initial Public Offerings—stocks being offered for sale to the public for the first time. During certain times of the year, literally billions of dollars worth of IPOs take place, making this a very exciting market to take part in.

What’s really great is that IPOs have many of the same characteristics as the stocks featured in our other short-term trades. They are generally low-priced (so you get leverage), and the best of them make very big advances in a short period of time—sometimes in as little as a few hours.

For instance, here are some of the returns my IPO traders have made in the past few months. Considering the short holding times, these are exceptional gains…

27.1% on Accuray in less than 1 day

23.7% on Super Micro Computer in less than 1 day

14.4% in just 35 days on AECOM Technology

16.2% on Data Domain in less than 1 day

22.6% on Sterilite in just 28 days

As with our other stocks, the keys to successful IPO trading are to choose stocks with a strong competitive advantage, and to get in and out at the right moment. If you love trading low-priced stocks, chances are you’ll love IPOs as well. In fact, if you’re serious about becoming wealthier in today’s market, IPOs are an area you shouldn’t ignore.
