3 “Stealth Stocks” that could turn $2,500 into $25,000
Today's Financial News - Posted June 2, 2009
Our own “fresh-off-the-boat” immigrant predicts: As Washington stimulus money creates the shortage of a decade—this “Secret Stimulus Denominator” will make a few forward-looking investors filthy rich… 3 “Stealth Stocks” that could turn $2,500 into $25,000 by the end of
2009!
by J. Christoph Amberger, TodaysFinancialNews.com
Baltimore (TFN): Brace yourself.
We’re heading into a turbulent and dangerous time: In the coming months, some investors will lose every red cent they have in the market. Some may never recover.
For many, it may take decades to work their way back up to the level of prosperity they enjoyed during the Bush years.
Others, however, will get their last chance in generations to get rich.
And they could make six or seven times every dollar invested before the end of 2009.
Because a perfect storm is forming for one critical natural resource
Rapidly shrinking supplies and radically reduced production have already caused this strategic resource’s price to increase.
But there’s new legislation on the books right now that virtually mandates soaring demand—while cutting production in the third-largest-producing country to the bone.
Some analysts predict this dormant commodity superstar might merely double in price.
Others have committed themselves to increases of 200%… even 300% in the metal’s base price.
Right now, a powerful government agency has virtually sidelined the most ardent investors—causing a backlog of demand for both the physical metal AND shares in the few successful companies involved in its production.
(More on that below!)
But even better, my analysts have developed a strategy using 3 “Stealth Stocks” that could literally turn an initial investment of $2,500 into $25,000 by the end of 2009.
Of course, you’ve heard it all before…
For years, analysts and editors have predicted that this commodity—and others, seemingly more “valuable”—would trade at multiples of current levels.
Thing is, they all got wiped out when the equity markets crashed. First in November. Then again in February.
Copper. Molybdenum. Potash. Oil stocks. Mining stocks. All crashed and burned in the past half year. Countries praised as paragons of fiscal virtue… Brazil, Russia, India—even China!—have seen their stock markets and currencies decimated.
I ask you, what good is an information service that predicts what will happen… but loses money anyway?!
What good is a stock advisory service if it’s not generating constant gains for you… no matter what the market is doing?
I can afford to ask these questions…
I’m heading a small, innovative research service called Hot Stock Confidential. My tearm and I don’t worry if the markets are up or down. We always find opportunity…
In the past 19 weeks, since the first full trading week of 2009, my team has taken double-digit gains 23 times… in the worst market investors have seen since the Great Depression.
Just a few of the gains include 107% and 83% on YRC Worldwide…
25% on Cepheid… 35% on Vical…
25% on APower Energy Generation…
34% on Graham Corp…
44% and 65% on Bank of America… 40% on C 2009 Mar 21 2.50 Calls… and 30% on Market Vectors Russia ETF.
Sure, we had some losers, too. Seven of ‘em… mostly option hedges we considered “insurance” should something not go our way.
That’s why I am so confident that you will be making money on the imminent shortage of this one particular commodity.
It’s all about perspective

J. Christoph Amberger |
On Friday, March 6, 2009, deep inside a guarded government building, I became an American citizen.
It was a memorable event.
There were flags and speeches. A black-robed judge. People of all ages and colors and over 50 nationalities, rising like one to pledge allegiance to their new country.
Two years ago, when I first filed my paperwork, it would’ve been a truly moving moment: As a native West Berliner growing up during the Cold War, I’ve always identified with the American Spirit.
With freedom and opportunity. Responsibility and accountability. Entrepreneurship and the Pursuit of Happiness.
But raising my right hand that clammy Friday morning, I felt like I was setting out on the Oregon Trail 150 years ago—after learning that the Sioux were on the warpath and that every watering hole between here and the Pacific coast had been poisoned.
Because three weeks prior, on February 14, Congress had passed a massive spending bill aimed at turning the Land of Opportunity into a stagnant backwater of generational debt, political correctness, and limited options.
Friends and colleagues tell me I exaggerate. That’s how America works, they say. That the pendulum will swing back
One said: “Oh, give Christoph a break. He’s fresh off the boat and full of idealism.”
I pointed out that after 20 years in the States (15 of them running a business), I’m not all that fresh off the boat. And that my idealism sure has seen better days. Still, I was told:
“This is a somewhat conservative country, Christoph. In some areas, 15-20 years is fresh off the boat.”
Seven Lean Years
Think I exaggerate?
Maybe.
But you see, I grew up in a country that placed uniformity and collectivism above individual initiative and ambition.
And that was West Germany! That part of my family who spent the Cold War behind the Iron Curtain in East Germany still hasn’t recovered from 40 years of socialism!
I’ve witnessed first-hand what socialism does to peoples’ souls… and how it ruins economies for generations to come.
In a hostile climate like that… in the “Seven Lean Years” ahead… where will we find opportunity to build individual independence… maintain private wealth… achieve financial freedom?
The Silver Lining of Generational Debt
When a government throws caution to the wind and opens the financial spigots, it’s inevitable that some people get rich.
Within a month of taking office, the Obama Administration set historic records for new debt and government spending.
In 2010, the Government will be spending $3.59 trillion—that means $11,970 per American… or $47,900 for a family of four!
Just imagine: This year’s budget shortfall alone is more than India’s entire 2007 GDP of $1,150,695,000!
Unusual Suspects
It’s not the obvious recipients that will turn your investment into gains.
If the 21 years I’ve spent in financial publishing have taught me anything, it’s that you have to dig deeper… find the hidden channels… and buy when nobody else is paying attention!
Like last summer, when I predicted a dramatic fall in oil prices—a week before crude oil prices hit their record highs at $147 per barrel. My subscribers benefited by taking profits of 38% and 24% on U.S. refiner Alon as its resource costs plummeted!
That’s why I spent days trying to figure out where exactly the billions and billions of private wealth will be redistributed. I filled legal pads with hastily scribbled numbers.
And those numbers began to add up. I saw a pattern emerge… a common denominator…
You see, out of the $790 billion of the “stimulus” package, almost 100 billion dollars will be spent on alternative and “clean” energy as well as related research and environmental projects.
There are:
- $6 billion for clean and safe water
- $4.5 billion for greening federal buildings
- State energy grants funding renewable energy projects that are eligible for the available tax credits
- $2.5 billion for energy efficiency and renewable energy Research and Development
- $2 billion for research into batteries for electric cars.
That doesn’t even include the $3.6 billion earmarked for energy efficiency improvements and facility upgrades at the Department of Defense.
In particular, the stimulus also provides a whopping $6 billion in loan guarantees that will help solar energy grow by making more credit available.
By backing up loans, the government gets lenders to start lending again, which leads to more systems being installed, more solar panels sold.
That means sky-high demand for one critical metal that’s used to make solar panels, water decontamination systems, and cutting-edge batteries… silver!
New demand couldn’t come at a worse time
Industrial use has so depleted global inventories of silver that even the U.S. government currently has no silver reserves!
Worse, there are almost no new supplies of silver coming online!
You see, silver’s hardly ever found all by itself. It usually occurs combined with sulfur, arsenic, antimony and in various other ores.
In fact, the principal sources of silver are copper, copper-nickel, gold, lead and lead-zinc ores mined in Canada, Mexico, Peru, Australia and the United States.
But here’s the real problem: When consumer credit and spending collapsed late in 2008, demand for copper and zinc began to plummet!
The prices of almost all these industrial metals have fallen way below the cost of production.
Low prices and low demand discourage new production
Among metals, aluminum and nickel saw the biggest production cuts in the first quarter, with mine closures accounting for 13% and 17% of their global supplies, respectively.
The unprecedented declines in the price of silver and base metals, such as copper, lead, zinc, and nickel, now promise to disrupt the production of these metals in the longer term: Smelter cutbacks, especially in China, the world’s largest refiner, have been ongoing for months.
Future supplies are now at risk as well, as many producers aggressively scaled back their capital expenditures. In the U.S. alone, energy exploration and production spending is estimated to drop $22.5 billion this year—a 40% year-on-year decline!
The logical consequence: If we mine a lot less copper and zinc, we produce a lot less silver. Silver supplies will become tighter and tighter, which means higher prices.
It’s a very simple fundamental…
Less base-metal mining = less silver = higher silver prices
Now, most investors still think of silver as a jewelry and monetary metal. But it’s absolutely crucial for industry and manufacturing, with over 2,000 industrial uses!
And that’s exactly where its role as the “Secret Stimulus Denominator” derives from.
You see, silver paste is used in 90% of all crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells—the most common solar cell.
In conventional solar panels, the silicon that converts light into electricity is covered with a network of silver lines that conduct electrons and serve as connection points for soldering the individual solar cells that make up a panel.
Even the latest innovations revolve around the metal…
At the University of New South Wales, researchers have come up with a way to deposit a thin film of silver (about 10 nanometers thick) onto a solar cell surface and then heat it to 200° Celsius. This breaks the film into tiny 100-nanometer “islands” of silver that boost the cell’s light trapping ability, thereby boosting its efficiency.
Of course, the silver used is in small amounts. But they quickly add up if you consider the size of government-ordered demand!
And every new solar cell installed on residential and commercial roofs will incrementally increase demand for silver.
As the government-subsidized use of solar power increases, so will the consumption of silver.
Battery development vs. demand
But solar technology is just one sector where soaring demand will push up the price of silver.
Remember those $2 billion—two thousand checks for $1,000,000—that Congress earmarked for battery research?
Many rechargeable and disposable batteries are manufactured with silver alloys as the cathode or negative side.
That’s because silver cells have power-to-weight characteristics superior to their competitors. (The most common of these batteries is the small silver-oxide cell used in cameras and watches.)
By weight, silver makes up 35% of most small batteries. It produces both higher voltages and a longer lifespan.
And due to environmental and safety concerns, silver-oxide batteries are already beginning to replace lithium-ion batteries in mobile phones and laptop computers.
The increased use of silver for batteries—especially in electric or hybrid cars—will put silver through the roof!
Future demand meets supply crunch!
But there is a more powerful factor behind the coming hike in silver prices.
The net supply of silver from above ground stockpiles dropped by 8% in 2007 alone.
Already, buyers have to wait for supplies. Sellers frequently are unable to make physical deliveries with the ease they experienced in the past.
To make things worse, there’ve been recent announcements of production disruptions at two of the world’s largest silver refineries, the MetMex complex of Penoles in Mexico and the La Oroya facility owned by Doe Run Peru.
Prices are on the move. Readers who took my advice are already up over 10% on a silver ETF I recommended. But there’s more to come!
Remember, current silver prices are still below the cost of production for mines in which silver is the primary source of revenue!
Addint to the problem, the prices of base metals like zinc, lead and copper (accounting for 60% of silver production!) are also below the cost of production.
The vast majority of total silver mine production is in danger!
This is the first time ever that total production has been in such sudden danger of a sharp decline.
Government Catalyst
While fundamentally bullish on the future of silver prices, many silver investors are currently on the sidelines awaiting the outcome of a CFTC investigation into supposed irregularities in trading silver.
The perfect bullish storm for silver!
|
It’s the fifth investigation in three years.
There are suspicions that the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department pressured JPMorgan to maintain a “manipulative concentrated short position in silver” that they inherited from Bear Stearns.
The question is no longer why the CFTC allowed Bear Stearns to hold such a large concentrated short position in the first place, but how long JPMorgan will be allowed to hold it in the future.
There are indications in the Commitment of Traders Report that the big concentrated shorts may be making a move to close out as many silver short contracts as possible.
Any major covering of short positions would have explosive effects on the silver market.
That’s why we compiled a Special Research Report we call 3 Stealth Stocks That Could Turn $2,500 Into $25,000 by the end of 2009!
Stealth Stock #1—The Over-Achiever:
While miners closed down silver production all over the world as production costs doubled, this company actually increased production, especially from new mines, by a whopping 65%.
They even posted a production record of 3.9 million ounces of silver during the first quarter!
They’ve been maintaining net income per share at exactly the same level as last year, notwithstanding the realized price per silver ounce dropped to $12.48 from $18.45.
And the stock trades for less than a bag of gummy bears at the Korean grocery store across the street! At this level, it has a clear shot at doubling your money in the next 12 months!
Stealth Stock #2—The Enabler:
This silver and gold mining company generates 100% of its revenue from the sale of precious metals. Its 2008 silver sales totaled 1.7 million ounces and are forecast to increase to up to 4.6 million silver equivalent ounces in 2009.
Better, it’s currently acquiring a “streaming” company with a lock on some of the most productive and reliable silver mines in Mexico, Sweden, Peru, Greece, Arizona and Canada.
Which means that they are best positioned to ride out any regional production shortfalls due to political unrest, swine flu (like we just saw in Mexico!)—or environmental crackdowns in any particular country… while leveraging local differentials in the cost of labor to the maximum!
Due to the acquisition, this company’s shares will cost you less than $2. We give it an upside of 50% by the end of this year!
Stealth Stock #3—The Rock:
Undaunted by the industry’s problems, this silver mining “blue chip” just reported quarterly profits as a result of a surge in silver production
It also just reached an agreement with its lenders to reschedule its 2009 term debt payments until 2010 and 2011.
Silver production for the first quarter came in up 128% from the prior year period!
Any increase in silver prices due to soaring industrial demand could get this stock back 100% or even 200% from its current level at around $3.
Stealth Bonus: The Silver Super-Charger
While all three stocks have excellent potential to gain 50%, 100%, maybe even 200% on soaring silver prices, we’re looking to lower our money at risk… while increasing our profit potential by up to 1,000%.
Based on our calculations, our options specialists have selected a set of long-term, out-of-the money call option recommendations on the price of silver.
The strategy is simple and straightforward:
Buy what we tell you to. And sell when we tell you to.
All you need to supercharge your speculative portfolio on the coming, government-mandated supply crunch in silver is a Level 2 trading account!
