101-Year-Old Samurai Sword Maker Collects $2.8 Billion from
U.S. Energy Department

In the next 61 days, a secret buried in the 551-page Energy Policy Act will grant this small company "Stage-2 Monopoly Status," and hand a few select investors a potential windfall return of 871%.

Dear Reader:

Washington is about to cut a $2.8 billion check to a 101-year-old Samurai sword maker.

And that's just a down payment!

From a rusting, soot-covered warehouse, this company has commanded the attention of Congress and Fortune 500 CEOs. 

General Electric and Hitachi have rushed their top brass to greet them — and hand over "pledges" of $50 million to $100 million... 

In three months alone - shareholders have raked in $2,600 in profits on every $5,000 they invested. But that's peanuts compared to what's next.

Contracts are quietly being signed that guarantee this company massive growth — for years to come. 

And yet you can still buy their shares for less than $25! 

In just a minute, I'll tell you exactly why this stock is flashing, "retire early" potential — and how it could explode in value — up to nine times over the next few years.

But first, let me explain how this opportunity landed on my desk.

"Write this stock down..."

Last week, one of my closest contacts — a back-room analyst who's elbow-deep in research —burst into my office. 

I was halfway through saying hello — when he cut me off.

"Jot this stock symbol down, now!" he said. "This company is going to pay your mortgage next year."

He didn't look like he was kidding... but I wasn't born yesterday. So I told him to prove it.

Without missing a beat, he dumped a 5-pound, 12-inch-thick folder onto my desk.

And that's when I got the full story...

Turns out, this stock is up 831% over the last three years. 

But the way this company is growing — I’d be surprised to see them trading for less than $40-50 a year from now…maybe $140-150 before the decade’s done.

You might think that’s a bold prediction — and it is. But the truth is, history is about to repeat. 

Have you ever heard of a Stage 2 Stock Move?

Once in a while, a company breaks through. The returns are explosive — life changing. The kind that could pay off your mortgage...send your kid to the college of her dreams...or buy you a nice little shack on the beach.

The returns are phenomenal, but they often happen in Two Major Phases. Take Cisco, for instance…

Ten years ago, Cisco practically cornered its market. They slipped under the radar and built a huge position in corporate networking.

How?

You see, Cisco had a headlock on their industry. Now, it didn't last forever, but long enough to make investors rich.

And it happened in two distinct phases.

Here's the chart...

a

Their stock jumped 1,667% between Sept 1990 and Sept 1993. But it wasn't done yet! It zoomed another 1,013% over the next 5 years...that's the kind of return monopoly status practically guarantees.

Then there's Microsoft...
 
What made them the biggest millionaire maker of all time?

Near-monopoly status! 

These guys were in and out of court for years! But they never let go of their market share.

Between 1986 and 1991 — during Stage One — their stock skyrocketed by 2,350%. A $25,000 investment grew to more than $587,000. 

Here's the chart...

a

Was their bull run over? No way. From there — in Stage Two — MSFT soared another 2,010%!"

So even if you got in “late,” you still turned $25,000 into over a half million. All because of their near monopoly control of software — something everyone wanted.

That's the kind of return you can expect — when a company's product is in high demand and they're the only supplier.

And that’s exactly the kind of company we're tracking right now

Take a look at this chart…
a

Right now we’re in the late part of Stage 1. In just a matter of weeks, we’ll enter the blast-off phase of Stage 2. 

But don’t take my word for it…

According to Bloomberg,

"This company "controls the fate of [the next]
global energy renaissance."

And here’s the kicker…

They have nothing to do with oil, natural gas, or coal. They’re not even an energy company! 

Up until now, they’ve received scarce coverage in the news — and little attention from investors. 

But that’s about to change…

You see, their success has been guaranteed, in writing, by the U.S. government. 

In just a matter of months, this tiny company's share price could rocket to $40 possibly even $50 a share.

That’s why I’m writing you this letter. To make sure you are aware of the greatest Washington-sponsored handout of the century — and the little-known stock that is most likely to benefit.

Here's everything you need to know...

The Great Power Surge of 2008

Over the last five years, the average monthly power bill has risen by 23% to 57%.

2008 is even worse. Americans will fork over even more — up to 72% more — this summer. 

Why?

Most of our power comes from coal and natural gas. And those commodities have been soaring...

Folks who invested in coal or natural gas have cleaned up!

Don't get me wrong. Returns like that are great. But they're nothing compared to...

The Next Great Energy Boom

Developed countries will soon face a simple choice. Pay up for power or live like cavemen. 

That's a huge problem. 

"As [power use increases]...there is an increasingly significant probability of...large cascading failures.”

-American Institute of Physics (pg. 7)

To solve it, Congress has opened its purse and written a blank check. The catch is — only a few firms can cash in. 

In a matter of weeks, a massive wave of investment will flow to this select group of companies — most notably the Samurai sword maker I mentioned above. 

And like previous government spending sprees, this massive handout has the potential to turn investors like you into millionaires — almost overnight.

Every generation has its opportunity to cash in…

  • In the 1860s, Union Pacific and Central Pacific completed the famous transcontinental railroad — linking Frazer, Montana with Sacramento, California. The feds, headed by Abraham Lincoln, paid these companies $48,000 a mile — $2.15 Trillion in 2008 dollars. Investors struck it rich, without lifting a single hammer or railroad tie. 
  • In the 1930s, Roosevelt's New Deal enriched construction companies — from Bechtel & Kaiser to the Bridge Corporation — with massive infrastructure spending. One group known as "The Six Companies" landed the largest federal contract of all time — they made a profit of $10M - $132M in 2008 dollars building the world's largest concrete structure — the Hoover Dam. 
  • In the 1950s, the Federal Highway Act set aside about $37 billion to construct 42,500 miles of freeway. Legions of Americans got rich — investing in automobile and tire companies, like GM and Goodyear.  
  • In the 1990s, the Genome Project took the medical world by storm. A government-funded team of international scientists decoded nearly 25,000 genes. The result of this project was a massive boom for biotech companies. Well-placed investors got just what the doctor ordered — 2,440% gains on Myriad Genetics…a 2,822% windfall on Celera Group stock…and a 1,240% return on Pfizer. 

And now, it's your turn...

In just a minute, I’ll show you how to get in on this spectacular opportunity.

But first, let’s follow the money…

Sugar Daddy Uncle Sam Shells out $2.7 Million a Day
(And it’s just the beginning…)

10 trillion dollars over 10 years...

That's a conservative estimate of how much we'll spend to upgrade the USA's power system.

This avalanche of cash rumbled to life on August 5, 2005 — when President Bush signed the Energy Policy Act.
 
For savvy investors, it was like winning the lottery...

Not long after the ink dried...

Pacific Ethanol (PEIX)surged 64.7% in 96 days...

a

Vestas Wind Systems (VWS) soared 441%...

a

Evergreen Solar (ESLR) zoomed 183%
a

Those gains were impressive — but something better is looming, just around the corner. 

The fact is, the greatest handout of the Energy Policy Act hasn't happened yet! In just a matter of weeks, it's going to start funneling billions of dollars into a sleepy industry that's been on standby since the 1970s.

Wall Street Starts to Nibble…

The truth is, the Samurai sword maker is an extremely rare opportunity that is not covered in the mainstream press! You won’t find them covered by big brokerage houses...on the evening news...or on the front page of The Wall Street Journal. 

But institutions and savvy individuals have already begun to buy in, realizing this is simply the best energy investment opportunity perhaps of this entire decade! 

Invesco — the creator of PowerShares — just swooped in and bought over 23,000 shares — and they're not alone. Several other funds have started to nibble — from John Hancock to American Century to Nicholas Applegate. 

As interest in this company mounts, their share price will vault to new heights. 

In just a matter of weeks, they’ll be front-page news. Your neighbors will be scrambling to buy. But by then, it will be too late.

You’ll have missed the biggest initial move of Stage Two. 

That's why it's so critical that you snap up this company NOW. Before mainstream investors pile on in record numbers. 

Secrets of the Samurai Revealed...

This tiny company was forged in the heat of World War I — when they built turrets for the world's biggest battleship. The navy trusted them with their lives...

Today, they're the most sought after metal-artists in the world…and their secret weapon will soon help power your home, clear the skies, and enrich your portfolio. 

Income nearly doubled over the past two years — and thanks to expansion efforts, it will likely double again...and again…and again. 

What's so special about this company?

Their most popular product costs $350 million. 

Why is it so expensive?

Because other companies simply can’t produce it. I’m talking about a massive vessel — forged from a 600-ton piece of steel. The type of machinery that is critical to the success and the safety of the next generation of power plants.

Without it companies like General Electric and Toshiba simply can't do business. 

Customers are eagerly signing on despite a 7-year waiting list. They don't exactly have a choice, because this Samurai company is the only one in the world that can fill their orders.

This crushing competitive advantage has enriched early shareholders...

In the last 90 days alone you could have made $2,600 in profits for every $5,000 you invested — just on this single play. And more than 8 times your money in the last 3 years. Yet it’s only now entering Stage Two.

There’s still time to get in before the next big upswing…in fact, it looks like it’s just about to begin. 

Luckily, it's never been easier for you to get in on the deal.

Get All the Details — Absolutely FREE

Our exclusive report The King of Stage 2 Monopoly Shares reveals the secret behind this company AND how you can easily invest in it. 

They aren't a monopoly in the traditional sense. But they're even better...because the government is on their side. And that's an asset Cisco or Microsoft could never have pulled off in their wildest dreams. 

Instead of fighting against the tide — they are set to ride it into an extremely profitable future.

While others must come up with $20,000 or more to grab a piece of this company, we can show you how to stake your claim for less than $25 per share. 

Most investors will be shut out of this trend because they don’t know how to play it; but you can count yourself among the few who do…those who are prepared to reap the benefits.

In just a minute, I'll tell you how to get a copy of our The King of Stage 2 Monopoly Shares report today — free of charge.

But first, let me tell you a little bit more about the team that uncovered them...

One Group Beats the Market — Again and Again...

I learned about this investment from Patrick Bove. He's one of our “special situation” analysts. Patrick spends his days looking for extraordinary profit opportunities in niches most investors will never hear about. And he’s among the best at what he does... 

When Patrick gets hold of an investment opportunity, he doesn’t let go until it’s completely disproven…or until he drops 20 pounds of investment research on my desk and blows me away with irrefutable proof of an extraordinary investment in the making.

And yet the most interesting thing about Patrick’s work is he’s able to do it again and again with such apparent “ease.” That’s because he is part of an extraordinary league of 100% independent researchers and analysts in over a dozen financial centers around the world. All working with a single common goal: To produce consistent high-level profits for our readers with the highest probability and greatest margin of safety possible.

This band of analysts has no affiliations with major Wall Street banks or brokerage firms. They don’t “promote” stocks or have any bias or conflict of interest. And they’re never afraid to buck conventional wisdom to achieve extraordinary investment results.

The group is called The Sovereign Society. We're a team of investment and asset protection experts that span the globe from Latin America to Canada to Europe and Asia. From commodity experts...to international bankers...to privacy protection specialists...to tax planners...to foreign currency pros. 

I'll be the first to admit — when you tap into this network, it makes it hard to read the newspaper with a straight face. 

But I wouldn't have it any other way.

My name is Justin Ford and I am the Executive Editor for The Sovereign Society.

I’ve been investigating and writing about groundbreaking international investment trends — for 15 years. And during that time, I’ve had some of the most talented and highly respected independent financial analysts and economists work for me and with me. 

I’m proud to say that the team we’ve assembled is second to none in the entire world of financial publishing. 

Anyone can exploit the market when stocks are booming. But we've done so in the depths of market despair. While most investors have watched their portfolios flounder, our team has helped thousands of readers see sizeable gains — without taking on big risks

But Let Me Level with You...

As excited as I am about The King of Stage 2 Monopoly Shares, we're not in the business of touting one or two zingers a year. Here at The Sovereign Society we work around the clock to find little-known companies on the verge of HUGE breakout runs.

For example:

  • South American mining company, Anglo American was trading for $5.79 a share on the NASDAQ when our commodities expert, Eric Roseman, called it "one of the best trades in the business.” When he issued a "sell" recommendation last January, it was worth $30.37 — a return of 424%.


  • PrimeWest Energy Trust was a Calgary-based Canadian oil and gas company. We picked it at $15.36 and rode the resource rich stock to a high of $25.12 and a fat gain of 64%.

Just so you know — I'm not cherry picking winners. Over the last year (from July to June), our average return — counting winners AND losers — is 40%

And when we catch the big trends, our gains are phenomenal...

  • The Chicago Mercantile Exchange was the largest futures and options exchange when it went public in 2002. But it didn't ring a bell for many investors. Mainstream press, like Business Week,  bashed the "Merc."  But our team saw value and recommended buying its shares for $47. In five years, it has soared as high as $710 — a gain of 1,410%.

  • Before the euro was a household name, we used that currency to bet against the dollar. We exploited a legal loophole that allowed our readers to "rent" $21,312 worth of euro for only $1,250. When the euro soared, we turned that small amount of money into  $21,312 - a gain of 1,794%.

That's the kind of market-busting research our readers enjoy.

If you'd like a FREE copy of our team's latest report, The King of Stage 2 Monopoly Shares,
 I can send it your way in 10 minutes.

All that I ask in exchange is that you take a trial subscription to our monthly investment research newsletter, The Sovereign Individual

We've spent countless hours, thousands of air miles and millions of dollars tracking down opportunities like this. And the vast majority of them pay off for our readers. 

This kind of exhaustive research can't be found in the Wall Street Journal or Investor's Business Daily

I'm talking about "boots on the ground" research that has led over 21,000 paid-up readers to gains of 154%, 488%, and 893% over the past 12 months.

We have no hidden agendas…no links to the funds we recommend and no incentive to promote stocks or bonds that may not be in your best interests. If you want that kind of biased advice — just listen to your broker. Sad but true.

How to Know if Our Research is Right for You

The answer depends on the type of investor you are. 

If you're dead-set on keeping all of your money locked up in the "popular" stocks touted by CNBC, The Sovereign Individual is probably not for you. 

And if you want to get in on the "latest buzz" stick with Business Week. They're great at telling you what happened yesterday.

But if you want to learn about unique, global investments that you can easily trade from a standard brokerage account — BEFORE the main stream media jumps all over them…

If you'd like to tap little known markets for potentially giant profits while most investors lose their shirts following the herd…

If you're tired of being misled by Wall Street…bamboozled by rating agencies…and swindled by inflation…

And if you're sick of paying more than your fair share of taxes and fees and long for a way to protect your wealth from financial predators…then I would definitely give The Sovereign Individual a risk-free look.

After all, when we’re helping you make average returns of 40%, it only makes sense to protect your wealth as well.

What's this kind of research worth?

Our team of experts is paid millions of dollars a year for their services. And they earn every penny. Most of them have been in business for decades. All of them are respected in their chosen fields. 

Believe me, they don't come cheap.

Of course, you could do this kind of research on your own. But to do it as well as our team, you'd have to hit the books, read hundreds of pages of newsprint,earn degrees in finance, economics and business, and work the trenches of the investment world for 10 hours a day. Not to mention traveling around the globe…talking to power players…and scoping out investment leads.

Sure, you could do all that. But it wouldn't leave time for much else. And I'm guessing you could use MORE free time — not less.

That's where we come in. Our goal is to help you outperform the market while protecting your capital. 

Not to brag — but we've had a pretty good run.

In the last 12 months, we've closed out several triple-digit gains, including:

  • 195% on Anglo American ADR
  • 165% on Vestas Wind Systems
  •  79% on Oppenheimer Commodity Strategy Trust

And that's not all... we also cashed in winners that returned over 20% - including:

  • 64% on Cheung Kong Holdings
  • 32% on Pall Corporation
  • 66% on Pictet PF-Biotech Fund
  • 69% on CapitaMall Trust
  • 50% on iShares MCSI Turkey

Again, of the 35 positions we've sold over the past year, over 57% have been successful…with an average return of 44%! 

Here's what a few typical members have to say…

  • “This Is The Only Place Where You Can Find the Truth”
    "I’ve been to many seminars and read dozens of newsletters and I can’t get this kind of information anywhere else. This is the only place where you can find the truth."
    - Charles Keternick - Lake Tahoe, NV

  • “Membership Pays for Itself”
    "My membership easily pays for itself — and then some."
    - Peter Wilcox - York, Pennsylvania

  • “A First Class Team That Delivers Essential Knowledge”
    "Thank you! You guys are first class. I've learned the essential knowledge not only for wealth protection but also wealth creation."
    - Dr. Martin Varley - Venice, Florida 
  • “You Put Your Members First”
    "I've been a member of Sovereign for many years and truly feel you are the most unbiased and honest group around. Keep the great info coming!"
     - Lisa Nelson - St. Louis, Missouri

If this still sounds like something you're interested in, let me tell you more...

4 More Stage-
Two Stocks That Are Ready to "Pop"

Of course, the Samurai sword maker is not alone. We've been tracking a related group of companies that are poised to churn out Stage Two gains — no matter what's going on in the market. 

These companies have been some of the most-unloved stocks of the past 30 years. But recently, they've launched a rally. 

Since 2003, they've done very well — blasting the S&P 500 by 871%.

Stage 2 Power Sector Blows Away
the Returns of the S&P 500

a

If you invested $10,000 in a Stage Two Power index fund just five years ago, it would be worth $39,100 or more today. That’s a return of 291% without options or leverage of any kind!

No doubt about it — politicians and industry insiders are taking notice...

Yet - most investors have ZERO exposure to these shares

Thanks to the confusion created by the housing bust and the credit crunch — they remain a bargain.

But not for long...

A flurry of activity is underway. Congress is about to juice these shares even higher

All in the name of climate security…

The Wall Street Journal calls it

"The most extensive government reorganization of the American economy since the 1930s."

A massive amount of public and private funds are involved. 

$10 trillion...with a "T."

This kind of opportunity comes along once — maybe twice in a lifetime.

And now, it's your turn...

The next great handout is about to unfold.

Within the next 6-8 weeks, you'll have the opportunity to invest in a group of stocks that could turn $500 into $4,205 or more...every $10,000 into $84,100...  

If you’re at all skeptical, I don’t blame you. 

But don't take my word for it. Listen to what these experts have to say...

  • A Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) study concluded, "[stage two power] is an important option for the United States and the world to meet future energy needs..."

  • The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) issued a report just days ago stating:  "Because [stage two power] uses an abundant fuel source to generate electricity without emitting [green house] gases, [more stage two power] plants will be planned and financed in the next decade...than at any time since the 1970s..."

  • U.S. Energy Secretary, Samuel Bodman recently said, "I think we're really on the verge of a very substantial increase in the number of [stage two power] plants.” Investors in this technology could see massive gains while helping the U.S. achieve energy independence from oil and natural gas — which tend to come from countries that hate us.

I think you get the picture: Something big is going on.

And that's why I'm ready to rush you an additional FREE report: Four Great “Stage-2 Power Plays” To Play the Soaring Demand for Nuclear Energy

Inside this report you'll learn the secret of a few companies that control the world's greatest energy technology — and how you can play their meteoric rise through a standard brokerage account.

I’m convinced that this report — along with our Monopoly Shares white paper will be among the most valuable documents you read this summer.  

The companies mentioned in these reports are all on the receiving end of massive federal subsidies. The kind that could help you quickly gain control of your finances — and your fate. 

Rather than getting tossed around by a volatile market — and circumstances of life — you could be riding high as the next powerful wave of technology transforms the unseen yet critical infrastructure of our electricity generation plants.

But a word of warning: Your chance to see returns of up to 871% in this exciting sector will disappear — possibly for good — when the mainstream press picks up on this story. 

To get instant access to all the investment research I described in this letter, let me know that you’re interested today.
