| Dear Investor, Remember "Google Thursday," back in 2004? If you had money in that historic IPO, you'll certainly never forget it! That was the day Google's shares jumped 18% INSTANTLY upon the stock's debut... a mere taste of the gains ahead for a stock up over 500% in four years. Enjoying a first-class seat aboard a red-hot IPO rocket -- a Google, Yahoo, Home Shopping Network, or Netscape -- is a dream for all investors. But IPOs -- the great ones -- are not easy tickets to come by. Well, Take a Look at This... Recently, my subscribers racked up big IPO-style gains on a stock that displayed the chief traits of an IPO -- i.e., huge profits posted very, very rapidly -- but it wasn't an "official" IPO. It's what I call a "Second Chance IPO"... and Wall Street was blissfully unaware of the explosive growth about to happen to this stock. Let me set the scene for you... Just before it got its "second chance," the stock in question was virtually comatose at roughly 1/12th of its former high. But I wasn't fooled... Beneath the surface there were signs that something BIG was about to take place, in particular... ... the liquidity issues plaguing the company were extraordinarily solvable and two major financial events made the stock a huge bargain about to enjoy a steep increase. The day after my recommendation, the stock DOUBLED -- and almost doubled AGAIN within two days. What happened? The stock literally got a "second chance" to launch (or re-launch, if you prefer) and we profited handsomely... to the tune of 83.22% in straight-stock profit all in under 48 hours! Now you see why I believe that getting in on stocks like this can create millionaires. (In fact, this IS the way the megastar investors of our time -- Warren Buffett, Rupert Murdoch and Sumner Redstone -- each multiplied their fortunes.) Best of all, this "Second Chance IPO" is not unique. I've uncovered many others just like it. All are set to rise soon and deliver fortune-making profits. Like these did...  | The technology retailer whose stock rocketed out of the doldrums to a (decidedly IPO-style) 46% straight stock gain. |  | The computer company (thought by the experts to be lost in "dreamland") that pulled a couple of blockbuster new products out of a hat. Result: A magical 155% leap -- again a straight stock gain. | Very IPO-like, don't you think? Still skeptical? Then let me put these profits into perspective. Here are gains posted by the most famous "conventional" IPOs in modern history: Yahoo 270%, Home Shopping Network 165%, Netscape 167%. And here are some gains we've made on recent "Second-Chance IPOs" -- 262%... 153%... 101%... 243%... 162%. See what I mean? The investments I'm going to tell you about in this letter can reward you with explosive gains -- just like the hottest IPOs of recent history. Only this time, you'll be on board for the ride. What Exactly is a "Second Chance IPO"? It's a stock that is -- literally -- getting a second chance in life. Indeed, a second chance to soar might be a better way to describe it. The market has been kinda crazy lately but I've doubled my portfolio this year. —C. Heffernan | | | | My name is Mark Skousen -- founder and editor of Skousen Turnaround Trader. Not long ago, I began to follow certain stocks I noticed were behaving remarkably like highly-publicized IPOs -- but minus the hype. I observed that money invested in these stocks often multiplied itself exponentially -- just like money riding on the most successful IPOs. What's more, in IPO-like fashion, these stocks tended to shoot up like rockets over a very short time -- in weeks, and in some cases, days! These are the kind of opportunities that build true wealth -- without waiting a lifetime for it. Unlike traditional buy-and-hold investing, with annual returns typically measured in the "respectable" single digits, this kind of investing lets you collect big DOUBLE- and TRIPLE-DIGIT profits and live your dreams now -- exactly as the big IPO blockbusters do. But, as I said, these are NOT "official" IPOs. You won't find thousands of other investors scratching and clawing for a seat at the table. Quite the opposite, in fact. These High-Flyers Have the Welcome Mat Out! "Second Chance IPOs" are companies whose stock is vastly undervalued, often for reasons that are temporary in nature, or even completely unjustified, given Wall Street's tendency to overreact. How come? Well, it may simply be a disappointing (and grossly misinterpreted) earnings report. Or a short-term industry slump. Or a lawsuit that churns out a stream of unfortunate publicity. Or even totally unfounded rumors, endlessly speculated upon by the anti-business mainstream media. Result: The company is punished, taken out behind the woodshed, so to speak, to have its stock administered a whipping -- and then driven down, down, down, sometimes to way out-of-proportion levels. But, while Wall Street penalizes and the media gloat, a key reality often goes overlooked, if not forgotten. And that reality is: These are companies with sound track records in solid industries. Inevitably, the day will come when each is "discovered" by investors to be DOING VERY WELL AGAIN -- and the stock will blast-off... just like an IPO. In other words, these stocks are ripe for a "second chance." They're ready to rebound on a dime and go on a speedy ride straight up. Hence, my name for them -- "Second Chance IPOs". And when their second chance arrives... along with gains as high as 100%, 200%, even 300%... we'll be waiting. Just as my subscribers and I were waiting when: Now, don't those gains look a whole lot healthier than what today's market is delivering? Well, that's the whole strategy of Skousen Turnaround Trader, my elite advisory service for investors looking to make big profits in a market that seems to be "profit-averse." Think of it as... A Shot in the Arm For Your Portfolio! It gets frustrating, doesn't it -- watching this market find ways to deliver, well, not a whole lot of anything except anxiety and disappointment? Turnaround Trader is easily the best of the four services I receive -- the quality of recommendations and timing has been very profitable. Please keep up the great work! —G. Nidgundi | | | | Day after day, the stock market ratchets up and down -- but ultimately goes nowhere. Today, down a hundred points. Tomorrow, up a hundred points. The day after -- who knows? How many times have you asked yourself: WHY ISN'T MY MONEY GOING ANYWHERE? You think: I did so well in the 1980s and 1990s, but now -- nothing. Marketwise, the first decade of the new century -- has been a big fat let-down. Frankly, as a provider of top-ranked investing advice for over 27 years, it makes me angry seeing so many investors who have worked so hard and invested so wisely over the years to build a solid portfolio -- only to find themselves at a financial standstill. Perhaps you know exactly what I'm talking about. You have a nest egg larger than you ever dreamed -- but you are frustrated as you continue to watch it get bogged down, going nowhere. It's all the more exasperating because, on the surface at least, you've done extremely well in life. Your net worth, I'm sure, places you comfortably within the upper stratum of Americans. Your nest egg, no doubt, has grown nicely over the years. For all this, you are to be congratulated. The numbers say that you are one of the "winners" in life. You've made the American Dream come true. But you know something else, don't you? You know that in reality your nest egg isn't growing the way it should. Ever since the turn of the century and 9/11, your portfolio has probably gone flat. Like those of most investors. That's eight long years of either limited growth... or, for most, no growth at all. Sure, you could "up the ante" and go for riskier trades that offer bigger payoffs. But what if they don't pan out? After all, you're looking for a larger return on your money -- not a whopping dose of insomnia. That's where my Skousen Turnaround Trader alerts come in to turn pain into gain -- without the sleepless nights that go along with risky investments! Would You Like to Earn 243% Profits... in 90 Days? My Subscribers Did. Our Merck buy was a classic "Second Chance IPO." When the stigma of heart attack risk was attached to this company's arthritis drug, Vioxx, sales plunged overnight and law firms swooped in to make a killing. During the carnage, Merck's stock dropped from $100 to under $30... as night after night the mainstream news media aired tearful human interest stories, featuring the victims of what was universally regarded as the pharmaceutical giant's "cruel negligence." However, I knew it to be a solid company with many profitable new products in the R&D pipeline -- including drugs to treat cancer, diabetes, AIDS and high cholesterol. When Merck came out with its new product line (and put into action a $5 billion cost cutting program), I knew we had a winner -- a clear-cut "Second Chance IPO" fueled up and ready to take off. I issued a Turnaround Trader alert to my subscribers to BUY. Three months later, when I recommended selling, my conservative subscribers who bought the stock made a solid 16% gain. Those subscribers who bought the stock on margin walked away with a 32% profit. And my aggressive subscribers who used call options pocketed an average 243% gain in a mere 96 days. Bottom line: Most investors (and just about all of Wall Street's pros) saw Merck as a disaster. We saw it as a "Second Chance IPO"... and it paid off with big IPO-like profits for all of us! This kind of recommendation is typical of what you'll get with Skousen Turnaround Trader. For example: We chalked up...  | 153% profits with International Paper in 5 weeks |  | 179% profits with Cisco in 8 weeks |  | 111% profits with FirstFed Financial in 4 weeks | Those are the actual profits my aggressive subscribers made with their call options. But my conservative subscribers did very well, too -- 11% gains on International Paper and Cisco, plus 13% profits on FirstFed Financial all in a matter of weeks. We Don't Sweat What the Market Does! It has paid the subscription fee many times over. —J. Castillo | | | | Let others fret about every 100-point or 200-point lurch this neurotic market takes. We know there are always "Second Chance IPOs" waiting to soar back to the heights where they belong. And Wall Street will continue to bad mouth them and drive their share prices further south. And we will continue to get richer from them... when the moment is right. It's been said, "Buy when there's blood in the streets." Well, you can't be bleeding much more than Thornburg Mortgage Inc. was recently, with it's stock down a whopping 90% in one month, plunging from $12 to under $1. I know "mortgage" and "financial" are dirty words these days, but this was a big company that specializes in large, highly rated residential mortgages for borrowers who buy more expensive homes. But falling real estate prices and declining liquidity triggered grave doubts about the company's viability. However, I saw several factors that suggested Wall Street had it wrong and that a big recovery was a coming for Thornburg. Here they are: - The company's basic fundamentals stood to improve dramatically if Thornburg qualified when the Fed pumped liquidity into the financial system. The Fed pumped, Thornburg jumped -- over 100% the day after I recommended it to my subscribers.
- Corporate management announced a strong turnaround plan to dig themselves out of trouble, as liquidity improved. Always a healthy sign.
- Unlike others in the mortgage business, Thornburg was fully prepared to resume lending to its high-quality clientele once the financial panic ebbed.
And the kicker... - Thornburg -- to most investors -- looked to be a truly rotten investment. (To us, that's a good sign!) The company's stock was in the abyss -- trading way below former levels and appeared to be a genuine bargain.
Bingo! On March 11, I alerted subscribers to get in quick on Thornburg because time was of the absolute essence. That turned out to be an understatement. Even I was surprised when the stock DOUBLED the next day... and then nearly did it AGAIN over the next few days! How many times in your investing life have you rubbed your hands together in glee as a stock you just bought doubled and nearly re-doubled almost before you blinked? You ask (and I don 't blame you) -- was this just a lucky pick? Well, take a look at what we did with (brace yourself!) Northwest Airlines, a stock that had sunk so low its was trading on the pink sheets. Like most airlines, the company was in deep financial trouble. By November 2006, Northwest was in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. As with so many troubled stocks, the airline was severely beaten up by investors -- its stock dropped to a mere .08% of its most recent high! Just like Thornburg, I saw evidence that, as it often does, Wall Street over reacted... and this stock was about to get its big "second chance." Here's why I believed this... 1. To most investors, Northwest wasn't just rotten -- it reaked. You couldn't give it away on street corners, it was so far below normal levels. We like that in a stock! 2. Behind the scenes, Northwest's restructuring was steadily improving their financial picture. Operating revenues were up 0.9% and system passenger revenue up 2.9%. Operating expenses decreased 12.8%. 3. Two more promising signs: Northwest hired 200 new employees and announced it would be the first North American airline to fly the new 787. 4. Value hunters were now sniffing around and the stock was edging up on speculation. 5. Most importantly, the stock's low price was attracting a possible takeover bid by another airline. Bingo -- again! I rushed an alert to my subscribers to buy Northwest Airlines as quickly as possible. A mere three weeks later, the company announced it had hired a merger specialist -- and the stock shot up. We closed out our position... and pocketed a truly amazing 101% straight stock profit! Best of all... For Every Hyped-Up IPO Hogging Headlines... ... there's a "Second Chance IPO" hiding in the weeds! A few more examples of gains we made:  | 41% with Symbol Technologies |  | 37% with Home Solutions of America |  | 23% with Amdocs Ltd. |  | 24% with Revlon |  | 39% with SuperGen | Again, these are all straight stock gains -- you can expect to double those returns on margin buys and do far better with the simple call options I recommend. What's it like to trade with Skousen Turnaround Trader? Imagine -- E-mails You'll Look Forward To! Once a week I uncover a new "Second Chance IPO" and send you an e-mail or fax (your choice) detailing the trading action I recommend. Count on receiving at least one trading alert each week, either featuring a new profit opportunity or updating you on our existing trades. In each alert, you'll receive:  | The story behind the stock and why it's poised to deliver IPO-like profits. |  | Easy, step-by-step trade instructions to use online or to instruct your broker. |  | A full update on all current positions and what action, if any, you need to take. | I find that the vast majority of Mark's recommendations to be winners. I would never take any of his recommendations lightly. —C. King | | | | The trades I'll share with you can break on any day of the week. Unlike watching the plodding, misery-ridden stock market, these are high-adrenaline -- but risk-controlled -- trades that move and pay off quickly. PLEASE NOTE: My service is NOT for every investor. We carefully manage our risk, but Skousen Turnaround Trader is not the place for the ultra-cautious. And I'm the first to admit that not every trade works out the way I planned. You simply can't make double- and triple-digit profits without taking some risk. But... That's precisely why we build a "firewall" around each trade, in the form of a stop-loss order. This protects us from major losses and allows us to lock in profits. And, as the share price of the stock moves up, so does the stop-loss -- ensuring our protection against sudden drops. But if my track record is any indication (and what better indicator is there?) you can expect bigger and more frequent "hits" than "misses." That made clear, you can look forward to trades that actually reward you with profits. Profits -- imagine that! Suddenly, Everything Looks Different! You'll no longer be dwelling in "Buy-And-Hold Dystopia" -- the land of the perpetually disheartened! Shortly after you sign up, you'll awaken one bright morning to a very different sort of e-mail. Instead of trying to sell you a dubious drug made from a newly discovered plant found only in the Borneo jungle -- this e-mail will alert you to a mouth-watering, very IPO-like investing opportunity.  | It may be another energy move -- like our buy into PetroKazakstan that paid off 43% on the stock and 223% on the call options. |  | Or it could be in retail -- like our Sears buy that paid off 17% on the stock and 328% on the call options. |  | Or even a contrarian financial move -- like our MBNA buy that paid off 19% on the stock and 322% on the call options. | Don't forget... I Walk You Through Every Trade I have made about $6,000 with just a few options trades. —J. Basra | | | | When I alert you to a trade, I also give you a full explanation of the recommendation plus step-by-step instructions on how to execute it. There's absolutely no guesswork on your part.
