From the
desk of Luke Hodgens…
“I'd like to propose a
gentleman’s agreement – from one businessman to another…”
Dear Reader,
By now you know my track record. You know my successes... and myfailures.
You know my politics... you even know my dog Boris (ifyou read the Weekly).
So you know that if I make you an offer, it’s going to be solid
and in good faith.
Well,
today I’d like to make you an offer that I won’t likely
make again — and for it to work I’ll need to trust that you will
honor our agreement.
What I’m about to propose may at first seem strange...
That’s because I want you to get in on a service that is nearlyidentical
to the Powerhouse service
you’re already receiving. Youwill be getting a relatively small number of
stock recommendationswith specific buy/sell instructions. In one respect
— quantity ofrecommendations — you’ll be getting less.
Yet I’m going to charge almost 10 times what we charge for the
newsletter — $995 to be exact.
So why would you pay 10 times as much for a service that is
similar to what you’re getting now, but with fewer recommendations?
There can be one reason only, because after I explain how this
new service works you’ll realize it has the potential to make you 10
times (or maybe even 100 times) what I’m asking you to invest in it.
Allow me to explain...
The Gun’s Loaded — But I Can’t Pull the Trigger
When I get to the office in the morning the first thing I do is go
through my roster of small cap stocks. I usually have my eye on 3 or
4 in particular and I track them to find the right time to get you in.
But 95% of the time I run into the same problem — I find a great
investment that I can’t recommend.
The fundamentals are all there. Strong balance sheet... great
management... positive cash flow...
... and the intangibles scream in my face. A technology that can
change the world... a vaccine that could alter medicine forever...
But I can’t recommend them… it’s frustrating.
That’s because I know these stocks offer you the single greatest
opportunity to change your life. Just ask any one of the thousands of
early investors in Best Buy, Overstock.com, or Taser International.
Each was a small cap just a few short years ago. Like Taser,whose shares
back in 2001 were just $0.45 a share and trading 5,000shares a day. Today
Taser is sitting around $10 on 11 millionshares traded — every day!
Or Overstock.com. Back in October of 2002 its shares were trad
ing at $4.50 on just 15,000 shares a day... today it’s selling for
$42 on roughly a half million shares a day...
Then there’s the electronic retail giant Best Buy. Its stock was
trading for just $0.60 on thin volume back in 1990. Today its stock
is trading for a whopping $45 on 5 million shares traded daily!
The investors who made the real fortunes on these household
names were those who got in at the start — not the blue chip
Johnny-come-lately’s.
I’m not that investor — and I don’t think you should be either.
So What’s the Problem?
The answer is simple.
These stocks are just too volatile. They simply don’t trade
enough volume on a daily basis for a majority of my readers to
safely get in and out... to pocket loads of cash... without the
price heading south.
And the reason is the breadth of my recommendations. You see,
Powerhouse has over 6,500 subscribers that closely
follow our advice
— so I have to be careful in the equities I recommend.
If I find a hot new technology in a small cap company that
trades say 5,000 shares a day, and put out a buy recommendation,
the stock price could soar with my subscribers buying alone.
But if something happens that I don’t like — be it lost
contracts, false claims, cooked books, whatever — and I issue a
sell recommendation, the stock could come crashing to its knees —
making it nearly impossible for you to get out at the right price.
Avoidable Disaster
This happens more often than you may think. Take for instance
Cirond Corporation, a promising young company that offered a solution
to effectively detect and plug wireless network security leaks.
If its technology worked right the implications would be unimaginable — enough
to dwarf Cisco Systems. Well, CROO was looking pretty good to just about
everyone — and its technologyseemed to be right on the mark.
But after mediocre testing and an aggressive marketing campaign,
short sellers came into the market and hacked it down from $1.55 to
$0.55 in just three weeks time... Investors scrambled to get out —
most were left charred.
Then there’s VitroTech Inc., whose claim to fame was a product
called Vitrolite. A rare volcanic material that would allow
manufactures to process their plastic twice as fast than with
traditional methods, while adding strength to the finished product.
Sounds pretty good. Well, the hype behind this potential block-buster company
drove its stock price up to $2.25 last June — butafter a not-so-stellar track
record of acquiring major manufacturingcontracts, it ended up in the gutter,
sitting just above $0.01today. That’s a huge hit... and because of the share
structure andliquidity, investors were left holding the bag.
So whether its short sellers, poor management, or just plain boldface
lies, I
have to get you out before the herd begins their stampede.
Now I don’t mean to scare you — I just want to illustrate my concern
for getting you in and out of small caps with the best possible
odds. After
all I’ll be the first to tell you I love small
caps. Because when they run — BOY DO THEY RUN!
Just look at these monster small cap gains over the last two years:
- Franklin Telecommunications: Up 4,300%
- Dataworld Solutions: Up 7,800%
- Realax Software: Up 2,100%
- Micro Interconnect: Up 12,400%
- Pharsight: Corp: Up 1,092%
- Taser International: Up 1,830%
- Olicom: Up 1,150%
- FutureMedia: Up 1,108%
And on… and on… and on. I think you get the point.
Sometimes Less is More
So after thinking about this problem for several months — weighing several
possible solutions — I’m creating a brand new service designed in the same
ilk as Powerhouse. Find life-alteringtechnologies,
innovative sources of energy and the latest in military weaponry to provide
fast — life long fortunes. Powerhouse grew
faster than I or anyone could have imagined. The fact is I never intended
for it to be so big.
But this new service has a cap, so it cannot and will not grow.
Period.
It’s strictly limited to 10% of my most seasoned, serious andsophisticated
subscribers. It won’t be available to anyone else.That 10% will have the
chance to scout out these winners in theirtrue infancy. To be the first in
— as these wealth multiplierswork their magic.
It happened with Cheniere Energy (LNG) when I recommended it two
years ago at $1.78. Its daily volume was non-existent. But at the
time I only had 500 subscribers — so getting in without breaking
its bank was no problem.
In July of 2003 I wrote an issue called Making the Case for Cheniere. In
it I told subscribers to my then service, The Intrepid Investor,
that liquefied natural gas was the singlemost viable alternative energy on
the market...
... that any company that could wrap its hands around the
technology to liquefy, store, ship, and regassify it would have the
market cornered. Well, Cheniere turned out to be just that.
Today LNG is trading at $76… that’s a 4,298% gain!
And while I admit 4,000% gains are not the norm, my new service —
just 5 months old - has already racked up an impressive, steady
stack of profits.
For example, when I first sent the letter to launch the ReconTrade
Alert, I told you I was tracking an unknown oil and gas stockthat
was ready to take off.
Well, once subscribers climbed aboard we took a strong position.Just four
months later Recon traders were (and still are)
looking at90% gain! But this stock is far from reaching its peak. In fact,
Ijust sent out an alert telling subscribers that this little profitmachine
has at least another 40% to go before it cools off. (I can’treveal
the name of this company here because it’s still in the Recon portfolio…
but if you subscribe today I’ll give you all the details!)
Then there’s Global Aircraft Solutions (GACF). We took profitstwice on
this one. The first time we cashed out for a 38% gain,covering a good bit
of our initial investment… but then the gravytrain rolled in just days later
when we closed out our remainingposition for an additional 25%. That’s a
63% cumulative gain inless than three weeks!
In fact, if you’d purchased enough shares in any one of the companies currently
in the Recon portfolio, you not only covered themodest
membership fee, but you could be sitting atop six to tentimes your investment
in Recon.
Here’s the Deal
I’d like to open the door to you to be among the small expeditionaryforce
of Powerhouse subscribers to locate illiquid, small
cap power stocks.
But before you consider signing on, I must insist that you agree to
the following:
- It’s expensive — $995: Only 10% of my most serious subscribers
are allowed in this service at any given time. You’ll be part of the inner-workings
of Powerhouse. Being part of an elite group is
expensive... that’s just the way it works.
- It’s not fancy. Like I said before — the first thing
I do in the morning is follow my favorite small cap stocks. If I find one
suitable for recommending I’m not going to waste time writing a special
report — plugging it into a fancy computer program — or mailing you the
ins and outs. I’m just going to recommend it... shoot first and fill you
in later.
- There won’t be a lot of recommendations. If you like
a heavy volume of stock recommendations, this service is not
for you. I don’t know if it’ll be once a month — or once ayear. I do know
that when I find the right one, you’ll hearabout it ASAP.
- No complaining. I’m going
to run this service the same way I recommend stocks to my family and
friends. If I make a recommendation that doesn’t take off to the moon,
I don’t want any complaints. If you lose money, I don’t want any complaints. There’s
risk to everything we do — we’re all adults, so let’s concentrate on
what’s important: making money.
- You CANNOT share
these recommendations with ANYONE. Do not forward these
emails to your friends or family. Do not share them with media
of any kind. There are serious liquidity issues at stake here and
bringing anyone into these stocks other than you and your fellow subscribers
could seriously jeopardize our position.
- Add ‘em up. Sometimes I’ll be looking for quick 25-40%
returns, sometimes I’ll be swinging for the fences. The point is I ask
that you wait one full year of getting in and out of these stocks before
you determine the services effectiveness. While the chances of paying
for your investment with just one trade are very good — I’m not trading
with that in mind. So if you don’t have the patience — please stop here. If
at the end of the year you haven’t at least covered your initial investment
in this service, I’ll be happy to give you a full refund.
- Keep it quiet. I’m not
interested in word-of-mouth advertising. This is strictly between us.
- When you bank a large position let us know — discretely. When
you close out on a big winning trade let us know. I’d like to share it
with other members within our small circle — but no one else — to share
your strategy if it was different than what I recommended. This way we
can all benefit from each others ideas, ultimately devising a stronger
comprehensive strategy.
- There’s no written contract, but... I’m offering this
deal to you as a businessman. A chance for us both to make a considerable
amount of money. I’m not going to ask you to sign a contract to the above
— I can only trust that you’ll follow the terms of our agreement. However,
I expect you not to cancel as long as
the service stays positive — I want only true believers of my system
who’ll be in it for the long haul.
I Expect the Remaining Slots to
Sell Out Within 24 Hours…
If you’re interested in signing up, please do so immediately.
This is likely the last time you’ll hear anything about this new
service as I fully expect all slots will be filled within 24 hours
after you receiving this letter...
But even if you do act now, I cannot guarantee there will bespace available. (My
marketing people tell me that based on previous offers, we’ll sell out our
remaining spaces in less than 24 hours.) The best I can do is to
put you on a waiting list — and drop you in on a first come, first serve
basis.
There are several ways to subscribe — and some are faster
than others. To subscribe immediately go directly to
www.recontradealert.com/order-queue/.
The second fastest way is to call us directly at 1-800-479-5084.And
of course you can fill out the attached order form and send itback to us
at the address provided (you may also send it viaexpress mail or FedEx for
faster delivery — if you wish).
So if the prospect of making 76%, 134% or 4,298% on your moneyexcites you...
the risk involved in trading these stocks doesn’tscare you... and the $995
price tag doesn’t make you wince... I encourage you to subscribe today — as
quickly as possible.
Please don’t delay
Cheers,
