Finally... thousands promoting YOUR info product TODAY!

Here's What Most People Do...

Most people start with affiliate marketing.

They become affiliates for other peoples products
and along with thousands of other affiliates, try
to duke it out in the trenches for traffic and commissions.

They spend hours building blogs, doing SEO, driving paid
traffic to sales pages that may or may not convert...

ALL because they have heard that the affiliate business is
the fastest and easiest way to earn your first buck on the net.

Now don't get us wrong, there's absolutely nothing wrong
with affiliate marketing and we make a ton of money with it too....

...and whilst it is very possible for anyone to make 6, even 7
figures each year promoting other people's stuff, it does bring
rise to one very important question...

Why Be ONE Affiliate Among Thousands...

==> http://www.SharingProfitStrategies.com/?rd=hk2hPYSn

When You Can Have Thousands Of Affiliates Promoting For YOU?

What I mean is that you should ALSO consider being on the
other side of the fence...

In other words, being the product creator!

"Money is plentiful for those who understand the simple laws which govern its acquisition."

George Clason

Three Ways to Get Rich

Last night I watched Michael Moore's documentary Capitalism: A Love Story. As always with his films, I found it to be entertaining propaganda.

One of his primary arguments is that the rich have duped "the rest of us" (Moore brilliantly aligns himself with the workingman) into believing in capitalism by spreading the myth that anyone in America can become rich.

It's a wonderful irony. Here is a guy, the son of an autoworker from Flint, Michigan, who gets rich in America through hard work and initiative... and then makes a movie whose premise is that you can't do that.

The truth, as Moore sees it, is that the only power the poor have over their financial future is to vote in social democracy -- where the "system" works to put more money in the pockets of the working and middle classes.  (Though, as history has proven, that doesn't usually happen.)

The reason socialists have a problem with capitalism is that it cannot make everyone wealthy. And that's true. At ETR, we like the idea of making the world a richer place. But we know from experience that it can be done only one person at a time.

We have long given up on the idea of making every lazy, stupid Tom, Dick, and Harry rich. We prefer to give individual people the tools they need to make their own money.

And this brings us to the question Moore raises in his film: Is it possible for an ordinary person -- without special contacts or resources -- to become wealthy in America today?

I've been studying that question since I started writing ETR 10 years ago. And it's clear to me that ordinary, unconnected, wage-earning Americans become wealthy all the time.

Consider this: According to a study conducted by Merrill Lynch, there were 10 million millionaires in the world in 2009, 17 percent more than the year before. And 3.1 million of them were in the U.S.

I've mentored at least a dozen people who started out at the bottom and are now multimillionaires. So Moore's premise, I'm saying, is bullshit. You can get wealthy in America. And there are three ways to do it:

  • You can get wealthy by scrimping and saving.

  • You can get wealthy by hoping and praying.

  • You can get wealthy by earning and investing.

Getting Rich by Scrimping and Saving

The Millionaire Next Door, a bestselling book in 1996, made the shocking revelation that the typical American millionaire didn't acquire his wealth by starting a business or becoming a banker or through any of the other ways that are celebrated in books and movies.

It turns out that most millionaires got rich by scrimping and saving.

Anyone -- and I mean anyone -- can get rich this way. You can start out broke. You can be illiterate. You can be a minority. You can be handicapped. In fact, you can be a dead-broke, illiterate, quadriplegic American Indian and you can still get rich this way.

Why? Because if you follow the scrimping and saving formula, it is a mathematical certainty. A 100 percent sure thing.

Start with $5,000 in the bank. Then set aside $470 a month in a conservative savings program (say tax-free bonds) earning, on average, 5% (the 100-year historical average). You will have just about a million in the bank when you are ready to retire.

If you start when you are 20, you'll be a millionaire – no doubt about it – when you are 65 years old. If you continue to save for another 10 years, your wealth will increase to $1.7 million. By the time you are ready to leave money to your grandkids or the Metropolitan Opera, you will have a fortune of $3 million.

Getting rich this way doesn't require guts or brains. All you need is a commitment to work enough to make enough money to save every month, and the discipline to keep socking it away.

I recommend this method to anyone who is young enough to take advantage of time. It is the primary wealth-acquisition program I recommend to college graduates in Automatic Wealth for Grads and Anyone Else Just Starting Out.

If you are not young enough yourself, you can use this method to make your children or grandchildren wealthy. (Justin Ford tells you how to do it in Seeds of Wealth -- a superb book that all parents and grandparents should buy for their progeny.)

Getting Rich by Hoping and Praying

Acquiring wealth by scrimping and saving is a sure thing, but it does take a long, long time.

And even if we have the time, most of us don't have the patience for it. All other things being equal, we'd like our wealth served to us on a silver platter by tomorrow morning, thank you very much.

Getting rich quickly -- the ultimate financial aphrodisiac. Is it possible?

The answer: Absolutely -- if you are very, very lucky.

You hear about it all the time -- how someone, somewhere in the world, becomes enormously rich "overnight" by winning a lottery, hitting a jackpot in Vegas, coming into a huge inheritance, or by making amazing leveraged bets on stocks or bonds or real estate.

But the chance that you will get rich that way is very remote.

Your odds of winning a typical state lottery, for example, is more than 14 million to one. Your odds of winning a million-dollar jackpot at a craps table is more than 2 million to one.

These are long, long odds. And though I have no moral objection to gambling, I look at it as foolish and potentially addictive entertainment.

Speaking of the lottery, I should tell you that I happen to have made millions of dollars from it. But I didn't get that money by buying lottery tickets. I made it the old fashioned way -- by investing time and money in a business I understood (direct-mail publishing).

Getting Rich by Earning and Investing

Here's the story: In the 1980s, I worked with a publishing company that put out a magazine and several newsletters about lotteries -- local, state, and international lotteries. We featured articles about winners and essays by mathematicians who had systems for improving the odds of winning -- that sort of thing.

Those publications were very successful. I think at one time we may have had 100,000 subscribers -- people paying us $39 a year. You can do the math.

This brings me to the third "way" to get rich: by earning and investing.

Earning and investing is the way the great industrialists made their fortunes 100 years ago in America. It is the way bankers made their money, too, before they abandoned earning and investing for getting rich quick by betting on derivatives.

It is this old fashioned method of getting rich that ETR focuses on.

We believe in scrimping and saving for the young. We don't believe in hoping and praying. But we have great faith in getting rich by earning and investing. We've done it ourselves. We've taught others how to do it. We know it works -- even today when we're suffering from the terrible national hangover that came from the orgy of hoping and praying that got our country into so much debt.

There are two hitches with getting rich by earning and investing:

  • You can't do it overnight. It will take some number of years.

  • It's not a 100 percent sure thing, as it is with scrimping and saving.

How many years does it take to get rich by earning and investing?

Short answer: one to seven years.

I've seen some people do it in as little as a year -- and some take as long as seven years. The average has been somewhere in between.

When I sat down to write Seven Years to Seven Figures, I wanted to figure out why, out of the many people who attempt to get rich by earning and investing, only a percentage succeed.

So I interviewed eight people who had developed multimillion-dollar wealth in one to seven years. I asked them exactly what they did. I looked for similarities. Ultimately, I was searching for a common denominator.

As it turned out, I came up with three things that they had in common.

They had all:

  • Learned a financially valuable skill.

  • Started a business by finding an uptrending market niche to apply their financially valued skill to.

  • Spent considerably less than they made and saved the difference.

The Four Obstacles to Earning and Spending Your Way to Wealth

I was excited. I thought I had discovered a formula that would transform the readers of that book into multimillionaires. I imagined getting hundreds or even thousands of letters from people, thanking me for pointing the way.

I did get some nice letters -- but they were in the dozens or hundreds, not in the thousands.

What about all the other people who had read the book? I had given them the formula. Why hadn't they used it to make themselves rich?

There was only one way to find out. I had to ask them.

That, as it happened, was easier said than done. It's tough to ask a person who has read your advice, "Why didn't it work for you?"

But I did ask -- although it was embarrassing for them and for me too. And what I discovered is that those people who hadn't gotten rich had never actually implemented all three parts of the formula. Some of them were stymied from the get-go. Some got started but then got distracted. And some made good progress but were ultimately frustrated.

But in speaking to them, a pattern emerged. The explanations I got fell into one of the three following categories:

1. I've been preoccupied with other things -- a full-time job that isn't getting me rich, a family that needs my time, fences to mend, taxes to pay, etc. But I'm going to start fresh this year.

2. I'm ready to start but I haven't found my niche yet. I like the idea of natural health, but I'm also into photography and cooking. Which one do you think would be best?

3. I've tried various programs but they haven't worked for me. I took a copywriting course, but I couldn't get any clients. Then I took a real estate course, and the market collapsed. Then I got into Internet publishing, but I think the market now is too competitive.

You might see these as excuses. (He who is good at excuses is seldom good at anything else, the old maxim says.) But I don't think they were. Many of these people truly were busy with other things. Many were confused about the best business for them to get into. And many who put their wealth-building plans into action found themselves blocked in some way, became frustrated, and gave up.

And there is one more obstacle that I'm sure all of them faced, though no one mentioned to me. It is something that anyone who has attempted to become wealthy -- or has succeeded at it -- knows very well.

I'll let you in on a little industry dirt. Many of the gurus who ply their trade selling wealth-building opportunities have no respect for the very people who are paying for their fancy cars and mansions. They call these people "wannabes." "If people did what we told them," they say, "we'd be out of business!"

I am not naive. I recognize that it is impossible to create a wealth-building program that will have a 100 percent success ratio. Like programs that teach foreign languages or guitar playing, even the best wealth-building program will not be able to ensure that all of the people who buy it will use it and succeed.

But I still think that my number-one job as a teacher of wealth-building skills is to create the highest possible level of success among my proteges.

That's why I spend so much time talking to people at conferences and corresponding with my readers -- trying to figure out what is blocking them. If I can determine the major obstacles to success, maybe I can teach my readers how to overcome them. That would make their success so much easier.

I'm talking about fear, of course. The fear of failure. The fear of looking foolish in front of your family, friends or colleagues. The fear of discovering something about yourself you don't want to know.

There must be a hundred books and ten thousand articles written about fear of failure -- but from the sample I've read, 90 percent of them are dead wrong. Fear is, indeed, an obstacle. But the solution to fear cannot be found in mantras and visualizations and self-talk. The only sure way to defeat fear is through success.

The intelligent person should fear failure when he ventures into a new business. After all, some 80 percent of new businesses fail. But if he understands exactly how successful businesses are built, his fear will be less. And if he further understands some of the most fundamental secrets of wealth building, his fear will be small enough to overcome.

I have spent a lot of time thinking about the four major obstacles to success, trying to discover if there wasn't some way to overcome them all with a single jump. I was looking for a sort of unifying theory of success -- some explanation that would show how successful wealth builders got beyond them.

And now, foolishly perhaps, I think I've come up with something that works.

I call it my Special Theory of Wealth. It reduces the habits and practices of successful wealth builders (including my own) into an equation that even a child could understand.

This theory includes the key ingredients of wealth-building success: opportunity, true value, and the compounding effect of time. And it explains a lot that cannot be explained by many of the popular strategies for wealth building, including some of the ideas I myself promoted when I first began this study 12 or so years ago.

It explains why TM was able to build a million-dollar business in a single year, while juggling the responsibilities of her marriage, children, and charitable endeavors, and while writing and making public appearances and going to book club meetings, and doing much more that I can't even remember.

The four obstacles to success did not deter TM, because she recognized them for what they were -- opportunities. Had she not made this simple change of perspective she could not possibly have gotten her business up and running in a year, much less built it to one that has national reach and recognition.

My Special Theory also explains how SA became rich in less than three years by being able to "find his niche" in less than 30 minutes and then direct his energies into it. This increased his income by more than $2 million a year, and made him a multimillionaire with a business (valued at more than $8 million) that practically runs itself.

And it explains how LP finally stopped drifting from one business to another two years ago, and finally started making a six-figure income.

The reason so many people don't achieve success is that one or more of the four obstacles genuinely block them.

Without understanding this -- which is the foundation of all successful moneymaking strategies -- it is impossible to find the time, choose the niche, and then execute a game plan.

ETR will be publishing my Special Theory as complete wealth-building program sometime next year -- and you will be able to invest in it then. (The cost will be somewhere in the $200 to $700 range.) Meanwhile, I have promised Jason Holland, ETR's Managing Editor, that I will present it in 12 monthly essays that will be published in ETR's Liberty Street League newsletter -- a newsletter that provides specific, wealth-building tools and opportunities to its subscribers, and features only the ideas of people who have become very wealthy through their own efforts.

So you can get the entire Special Theory of Wealth program now in monthly increments (which will give you a chance to road test it as you go) by subscribing to LSL at the special, introductory price of $49. (The regular subscription fee is $99.)

I'm pretty excited about this new program. I believe it will make a genuine difference in increasing -- perhaps by multiples -- the wealth of most of those who read it.

If you'd like to learn about it right now, there is only one-way: You must subscribe to the Liberty Street League newsletter. And to get your subscription at half price, you must subscribe before Monday, Aug. 16, at 5 p.m.

This is a newsletter you should be reading anyway. It is, in my humble view, the most realistic newsletter about wealth building published today. It contains, as most financial publications do, recommendations for investing your money.

But it also tells you how to earn more money -- dozens of ways to generate extra streams of income. Because you can't become very rich unless you have extra income to invest.

The Liberty Street League newsletter is written by people who know what they are writing about. When you get advice about rental real estate, for example (a great investment to be in these days), you'll get it from someone who has earned, and is still earning, millions by doing what he's recommending. The same is true for the experts who write about making money from the import/export business or from Internet marketing or information publishing or investing in coins and art and other collectibles.

As with all ETR publications, the Liberty Street League has a 100 percent refund guarantee. If you don't find it to be what I claim it is -- the most useful and practical guide to making money that is published today -- you can get your money back.

But I don't think that will happen. Rather, I think you'll be thrilled with the advice you'll be reading -- most especially with my Special Theory of Wealth.

The first two chapters have already been written. And ETR's customer service people are ready to ship them to you the moment they get your order.

Overloading Servers... Is a Good Thing

Self-development expert Noah St. John, one of the speakers we've invited to Bootcamp LINK this year, had an essay in ETR last week. I was very impressed by his concept of Afformations. (You can check out the article here.)

And it looks like I'm not the only one. The article drove so much traffic to Noah's site... his server was overloaded. Here's the e-mail he sent:

All I can say is...

WOW!

Not only were our servers overloaded because of the Afformations article, but I was on a seminar tour when it happened. Luckily, my Web team back home was able to get us up and running again, but not before many of your ETR readers wrote in to say they couldn't get the free chapters. I do apologize.

But now, I think we're better prepared for what my team now laughingly refers to as "The ETR Onslaught!"

Thanks Michael, and see you in November!

- Noah St. John, inventor of Afformations

So if you weren't one of the lucky 500 people who got in before Noah's site crashed, just go here to check it out again: www.afformations.com.

As I mentioned, Noah is a speaker at our upcoming Info-Marketing Bootcamp. Find out who'll be joining him here.


When Asking for Favors

You've got an idea for a project. You want to get a guru to contribute to it. You know him well enough that you have his personal e-mail address. He knows you. How do you maximize the chances that he'll agree to your proposal?

Don't do what was just done to me. I was sent this e-mail:

Hi Michael,

I'm writing a book and would like to visit with you as part of my research.

My working title is [Title].

I have known you for years now, and consider you one of the finest people I know. As I have observed you and others like you, I have noticed patterns of thought, feelings, and actions that make you successful and unique.

The reason I'd like to visit with you is I'd like to hear more of your story, ask some targeted questions to help reveal some of your "secrets" to living so genuinely successful, and validate (or disprove) some of my assumptions.

The next eight paragraphs give details about the book and the interview he wants with me.

Then he tells me:

At the end of our visit, I'm going to invite you to think of 4 or 5 other genuinely successful people that you know and highly respect. I would like you to personally introduce me to them. I have a goal to visit with at least 250 people and could use your help.

Next he predicts amazing success for himself. And then he says:

If you are interested in visiting with me, then we just need to set a time. My assistant, [Name], is handling all the scheduling for me on this. If you touch base with her, she can find a time that works well for both of us. She can be reached at: [Number].

Here's what I e-mailed back to him:

Dear Name,

I assume this was a form letter.

It reads well but I don't think you should be asking people to get in touch with your assistant...  Do you know what I mean?

I'd advise you to make your letter half as long... heavy on the admiration and short on the work involved...

Just ask for 30 minutes... and say, "What do you think?"

You'll get an immediate and probably positive reply.

That said, I'll be happy to give you some of my time. Just get your assistant to contact my assistant's assistant and then she will have my people interview your people...


More on Allergies

Ever since I wrote "The Most Important Thing I Ever Learned About Health" readers have been asking me for more information about allergies.

Kheron T. wrote…

You referenced a friend who suddenly developed severe allergies and was found to have an exhausted adrenal gland.  Since I also have had a sudden onset of allergies, I'm wondering where I might find further information on this... 

You're right: allergies can come on suddenly. That friend of mine didn't even have allergies until he was in his 40's! But when he got them, he got them bad. So bad they were interfering with his work. He talked to his doctor… tried anti-inflammatory drugs... but everything failed.

So I introduced him to a doctor friend of mine… and he discovered that his allergies were being triggered by adrenal fatigue.

My doctor friend says that when your adrenals are exhausted they stop producing a hormone called cortisol. And cortisol is your body's best anti-allergy hormone – it's a natural antihistamine and anti-inflammatory.

Problem is there are plenty of things that can exhaust your adrenal glands…

Common causes include stress, bad diet, too much sugar and too many carbs, drugs, alcohol, and vitamin deficiencies.

If you're suffering from allergies… infections… or just feel drained all the time… it may be because your adrenals are weak. If you think this might be a problem have your doctor check your adrenals and if it turns out that your levels of cortisol are low ask him about natural solutions.

My doctor told me that there are plenty of natural solutions that can boost your adrenals. Herbs, relaxation techniques, exercise, and nutritional supplements can all help. There are also several nutrients that are vital to the proper functioning of the adrenal glands. They include vitamin C, Vitamin B 6, Zinc, and Magnesium.

Anyway, hope this helps all of you allergy sufferers out there. And keep those questions coming!

Your ETR Insider

Early To Rise Insider
From The Desk of Laura Rodini Volume 1  |  Issue 26   |  August 13, 2010

Dear ETR Insider,

Whenever we start promoting our annual Info Marketing Bootcamp, the ETR office  buzzes with excitement.

One reason is because we look forward to seeing a few familiar faces.

In fact, quite a few people come back to Bootcamp year after year.

Why?

It's simple. The Internet is constantly changing.

And if you don't keep up... you're going to be left in the dust by your competitors.

That's why our experts cover everything that's new and hot at each year's Bootcamp... ensuring you're at the forefront of what's working NOW.

Let me give you three examples in the world of Internet Marketing:

1. Broadband Penetration -- Think about it. Just about everyone and their Mother now have access to a high-speed Internet connection:

  1. But in 2000, only 3% of U.S. households had high-speed access.
  2. In 2006, that number jumped to 42%.
  3. And by 2009, nearly 64% of all U.S. households had a broadband connection!

Since dial-up connections have gone the way of the dodo bird, this is big news for Internet marketers who use videos, audio, or special effects programs like Flash or Javascript to their bottom-line advantage.

2. The Rise of Bloggers -- Search engines and news engines rank websites on how frequently articles are posted to them, not on how "established" they are.

In fact, blogs can, and do, rank alongside the likes of WallStreetJournal.com & FT.com. Ten years ago, that was unheard of! Advantage: Joe and Jane Blogger!

3. The Social Media Craze -- Facebook has more than 400 million users logging over 500 billion minutes per month. Twitter is 500,000 users strong, and growing by the second. These platforms allow people to get content, watch videos, and, most important, share information.

But while most folks are uploading photos from their Cancun vacation or "tweeting" about what they ate for breakfast, a small but very smart group of Internet marketers is using these tools to generate tens of thousands of dollars.

They're the same people making today's most important groundbreaking discoveries in list building, traffic generation, search engine optimization, social networking, video marketing, and Internet selling.

And they're the very same experts we've brought in to speak at this year's Info Marketing Bootcamp!

So who are they?

Perry Marshall, the most quoted authority in the world on the subject of Google AdWords and pay-per-click (PPC) advertising. At this year's Bootcamp, he'll reveal how you can harness the power of the Google Ad Network by finding and bidding on traffic sources to maximize your ROI.

Mike Koenigs is best known as the mastermind behind Traffic Geyser, which distributes over a million videos per week. He's widely considered to be the "go-to" expert in online video marketing. At Bootcamp, he'll share his proven, time-tested system for bringing in huge amounts of revenue with online videos in a short period of time.


Master product developer Joshua Boswell will show you how to create "in-demand" products -- fast. Sony, Corel, and Toshiba are just a few of the clients who seek him out regularly.


Jennifer Stevens took a business that was $1 million in the hole and turned it into one banking just shy of $1 million a month. She'll share with you the secrets of how to write copy like a pro in no time flat.

And that's just the first day's lineup! I do hope you will join us at this year's Info Marketing Bootcamp. We're holding it November 7-10 in our beautiful hometown of Delray Beach, Florida.

We're so proud of Delray Beach that we filmed a few short videos so you could see it for yourself. Check out our Managing Editor, Jason Holland, on the balcony of the Delray Beach Marriott:

Just imagine -- come November, while your friends are buttoning up their winter coats, you could be sitting on that balcony, enjoying your morning coffee...

And then getting armed to the teeth with all the latest tips, techniques, secrets, strategies, and shortcuts on how to build and run a successful info-marketing business...

So click here for your special invitation. I personally look forward to seeing you in November!

| Have You Read Michael Masterson's Bestselling Business Book? |

It was hailed as "the first major shift in business thinking since the 1937 publication of Think and Grow Rich."

It hit bestseller status on both The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal's lists.

Michael Masterson's Ready, Fire, Aim lays out a completely new approach to business and life...

But have you read it yet?

This is the blueprint that helped Michael go from pool installer to self-employed multimillionaire before his 40th birthday.

And it is so practical and sensible that we follow it here at ETR every day!

But don't take my word for it:

"Many, many moons ago (I think 1999) I read an ETR daily e-mail that recommended your Ready, Fire, Aim model of testing a business concept. I did it and got an overwhelming response -- I recall 7 out of 10 prospects said 'I am very interested, send me some material,' and three asked how much it would cost!  I had absolutely nothing, and I mean nothing. No business, no name, no literature -- JUST an idea."

-- Mike Garvey

You could use the Ready, Fire, Aim approach to make your first $1 million. Best of all, you can get it for free.

One more thing before I sign off this week...

Next week, I'm headin' West with Investor's Daily Edge's Associate Publisher, Nicole Reynolds.

We're going to San Francisco to meet with some of our copywriters.

And I'm sure we'll have a lovely time.

I've been to San Francisco half a dozen times, but I never get over how pretty the city lights look at night from Twin Peaks, or how windy it gets walking across the Golden Gate Bridge, or how colorful (and inexpensive!) the silk dresses are in Chinatown.

And, oh my, the food is fresh. I had the best tomato salad of my life in North Beach.

It was a little Italian place, right near City Lights Bookshop...

Do you know the place I'm talking about? Help me remember it! And tell me where you like to go in Frisco. We'll try to check out as many places as we can.

Jason will be writing next week's ETR Insider – so be sure to keep an eye out for it!

Until next week,

Laura Sig

Sincerely,

How to Exploit the Stunning Power of ETFs to Power Your Portfolio
By John Nyaradi

Every stockbroker in America is desperately hoping you won't discover what I know.

And that is that Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) shower investors with benefits that mutual funds simply can't provide. They offer you virtually unlimited investment flexibility... and you can buy them without paying your stockbroker one penny in commissions.

ETFs have been around for more than 15 years. But although they've rapidly grown in popularity, most investors still don't understand how they can be used to supercharge their portfolios in both up and down markets.

In a nutshell, an ETF is a basket of stocks that represents a sector.

For instance, the iShares U.S. Sector Health Care ETF has major holdings in companies like Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Abbott Laboratories, Amgen, Bristol-Meyers, and Eli Lilly. With one transaction, you invest in a pool of securities, just like with a mutual fund, but the basket trades like an individual stock.

The Wall Street Journal has called ETFs "one of the hottest investment tools to emerge in recent years." And Money Magazine has said that "ETFs are one of the few financial products that actually make money for you instead of your broker."

There are more than 800 ETFs, with new ones opening every day -- and total assets invested in ETFs now top $800 billion!

ETFs offer you exposure to major indexes (like the Dow and S&P 500), or you can use them to invest in sectors like real estate, financials, bonds, commodities, foreign currencies, and even sub-indexes like solar, steel, or coal.

Plus, in recent years, "inverse" ETFs have been developed that give you the opportunity to make money when markets go down, while leveraged ETFs allow you to gain 2X and 3X exposure to various indexes and sectors.

You can even use ETFs in sophisticated options strategies.

How You Can Master Today's Tough Markets

With its wild swings and the worst bear market since The Great Depression, it's no secret that today's stock market has challenged investors.

But that doesn't mean you have to stick your money under the mattress.

You have other options.

Here are some recent real life examples from our Wall Street Sector Selector trading portfolios:

When the market was climbing in first quarter 2010, we triggered a "buy" signal on February 24 that lasted until March 22.

Our Standard Portfolio logged gains in ETFs like these:

EWW (iShares Mexico Index): +5.9%
XLY (SPDR Consumer Discretionary): +6.9%
XLI (SPDR Industrials): +6.8%

Then, on March 31, a "sell" signal fired and we and took up positions in ETFs that generated the following results:

PSQ (ProShares Short QQQQ): +7.7%
VXX (iPath S&P 500 VIX Short Term Futures): +50.3%
EFZ (ProShares Short MSCI EAFE - Europe, Africa, and Far East): +2.8%

During this same period, our 2X Leveraged Portfolio, focusing exclusively on leveraged ETFs, logged gains like +5.9% in EEV (ProShares Ultra Short Emerging Markets) while our Option Master Portfolio generated profits of +29.7% in less than three weeks and +10.8% in two trading days during the months of May and June.

Of course, not every trade is going to be a winner. And it takes discipline, and even courage, to compete successfully in today's cutthroat markets.

However, it's crystal clear that ETFs are extraordinarily powerful investment vehicles -- and they should be a major part of every investor's portfolio.

A Laser-Like Focus on Exchange Traded Funds

At Wall Street Sector Selector, we believe that ETFs are vastly superior to mutual funds, because:

  • ETFs are far more cost-efficient than mutual funds. A typical mutual fund charges 1% or more annually, while ETFs average in the 0.10% to 0.6% range. The fees are lower, so your return automatically goes up.

  • ETFs are far more tax-efficient than mutual funds. You only pay capital gains when you sell, unlike a mutual fund that is constantly rotating its underlying portfolio and giving your profits away in taxes.

  • ETFs are far more liquid than mutual funds. They have no minimum holding period, no early redemption fees, and they trade during the day (like stocks), so you can open or close your position at any time.

  • ETFs offer far more transparency than mutual funds. Anytime you want to know what your ETF is invested in, you can see its holdings -- instead of wondering what your mutual fund manager is doing because he doesn't have to report until the end of each quarter.

  • ETFs let you invest in any sector in the world, be it domestic energy, the stock market in China, or the European equivalent of the S&P 500.

Wherever opportunity lies, ETFs allow you to exploit it.

Add up all these benefits, and it's easy to see why we chose ETFs from top providers as the exclusive trading vehicle for Wall Street Sector Selector.

Everyday, we track more than 50 ETFs across more than 15 sectors.

Here's a sample of the funds we track:


iShares Emerging Markets
iShares MSCI Hong Kong Index
iShares MSCI Japan Index Fund
iShares MSCI Malaysia Index Fund
iShares MSCI Singapore Index Fund
iShares MSCI Taiwan Index Fund
iShares MSCI Mexico Index Fund
iShares MSCI South Korea Index Fund

iShares Dow Jones U.S. Insurance Index F
iShares Dow Jones U.S. Utilities Sector
iShares Lehman 7-10 Year Tres. Bond Fund
iShares Dow Jones U.S. Oil & Gas Exploration
iShares Dow Jones U.S. Oil Equipment & Services


iShares S&P Latin American 40 Index

Wouldn't You Love to Be In On That Conversation?

Imagine stepping into a room filled with half a dozen of today's most successful business owners. Michael Masterson is sitting on a couch in the center of this high-profile group. (They are some of his closest friends and business associates.)

Everyone appears to be simply chatting. But make no mistake... some of the hottest business deals, investments, and money-making strategies are being discussed. For example:

  • The latest, hidden profit opportunity that could generate over $28,000 in just a couple of weeks...

  • A real estate deal that could generate a 100% return (or more) within a few weeks...

  • The "Great Diamond Hoax," with the potential to return 15% to 40% ROI with a single transaction

And that's just a tiny taste of the kind of deals they're talking about.

Now, you can be right there with them...


The Language Perfectionist: Superfluous Words

By Don Hauptman

One of the basic principles of good writing is to omit unnecessary words. Conciseness beats verbosity. Consider these examples I recently encountered:

  • "[Author James] Patterson considers himself as an entertainer, not a man of letters."

The word as is dispensable here. Correct: "Patterson considers himself an entertainer...."

  • "But I can't recall of an instance when [newspaper] book sections disappeared and book coverage was folded into other sections where the coverage expanded." The word of adds nothing to this sentence and can be deep-sixed.

  • "Study Spanish for free with our online lessons, vocabulary games, and didactical contents developed by Spanish teachers."

There's no doubt that the use of for free is commonplace. (A Google search for the phrase generates half a billion matches!) But the expression is slangy and the preposition is superfluous. Correct: "Study Spanish free...." Some language gurus suggest that at no cost, for nothing, or without charge can work better, depending on the context.

Once acquired, colloquialisms such as those above become habitual and are difficult to extricate from one's vocabulary. In conversation, they may be forgivable. But make the effort to expunge them from your writing.

The $89.5 billion "Family Secret"

Dear Early to Rise Reader -

It's July 2, 1962.

A young man opens a discount store in Rogers, Arkansas.

Five years later, the family business expands to 24 stores. Sales reach $12.6 million.

Fast forward to 2009.

According to Forbes, this "discount store" is now the world's largest public corporation by revenue. It generated an astounding $404.06 billion in revenues in 2009. And that was during the recession.

And get this...

In March of this year... Forbes estimated the family behind this corporation had an estimated combined net worth of $89.5 billion.

That's right. $89.5 billion. This makes them one of the richest families in the world.

It might make you wonder...

What's this "Family Secret" all about?

How did this "Family Secret" help turn a single store into the world's largest corporation by revenues?

How did it help a small family from Arkansas become one of the wealthiest families in the world?

And... most importantly... how can YOU use this simple yet powerful "Family Secret" to start building your own personal wealth... much in the same way this $89.5 billion family did?

Please read the following report to find out just how quick and easy it is to start building your own personal wealth using this $89.5 Billion "Family Secret"... almost immediately.

To your success,
