Why Did I Triple the S&P
in Five Years?
Because Every Stock I Bought
Had This Driving Force Behind It

(Even in this bear market, hundreds of stocks are going to rise higher thanks to this powerful force.)

Read on to See Why a $4.50 Stock Hit $82 in Six Weeks --
and How to Buy the Next Miracle Stock Before it Blasts Off

From: Paul Tracy, Chief Investment Strategist
Date: 

Dear Investor,

     It's happened to me and I'm sure it's happened to you -- probably all too often.

     You buy a stock, only to watch your shares stagnate for months on end. You can't pinpoint the reason your stock flounders as the rest of the market passes you by.

     It's exasperating: Why do some stocks take off while others in the same industry just sit there?    

A Great Company Isn't Enough

     The secret to making money in stocks isn't just finding a great company. General Electric is a great company that hasn't gone anywhere in years. Ditto for Microsoft, Pfizer and Intel.

     The secret is finding great companies that are poised to benefit from a future catalyst.

     If you remember your high school chemistry, catalysts are agents that speed reactions between substances. It works the same way in investing. A stock catalyst is something that creates a dramatic impact on a company's fortunes... and triggers a sudden rush into its stock.

     When the right catalyst hits a stock, the Wall Street sales machine kicks into gear and investors flock to it in droves, furiously driving up the price.

     A bear market may dampen the effect of a catalyst but it can't kill it.  Catalyst-driven stocks are like coiled springs, itching to explode as soon as the pressure is released.  At the first sign of a mood shift in this lousy market these will be the first stocks to spring to life.  Mark my words:  They will rebound the fastest and the highest... like regular stocks on steroids.

$4.50 to $82 in 6 Weeks

     The right catalyst can trigger a 10-bagger in a hurry. I've seen it happen...

     In 1999, cell phone stocks were all the rage, and Qualcomm was the darling of them all. Qualcomm was the leader in CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) -- a bandwidth-sharing technology that was about to become the industry standard. Virtually every telecom around the globe was slated to migrate to CDMA.

    
InterDigital, on the other hand, was a tiny patent holder in the wireless arena, largely ignored by investors. For the better part of 1999, InterDigital's stock meandered in a narrow $4.50-$5.50 range. That changed on November 17, 1999.

     That was the day Qualcomm filed a report with the SEC disclosing that it had licensed an essential CDMA patent from InterDigital. Investors soon realized InterDigital would get royalties on every cell phone built to the new industry standard.

     Talk about catalysts! It triggered +1,264% gains for InterDigital shareholders within six weeks, topping out at an intra-day high of $82 on December 30th.

What Makes a Catalyst?

     Catalysts come in all shapes and sizes. But here are the biggies:

   A surprise takeover announcement. The best recent example is Wrigley. We added shares of the chewing gum giant to our portfolio in mid-2006, just as they were hitting a bottom. We liked Wrigley's solid growth and steady overseas expansion, its well-known brand name and its stable, recession-proof products.

     These factors alone made us solid gains in the stock, as the shares rose more than +50% by mid-2008. But then, a major new catalyst appeared. Candy conglomerate Mars made a takeover offer and our shares jumped +23% in a single day. If you went to bed with $10,000 of Wrigley stock, it was worth $12,300 when you woke up.

   A killer new product. Apple was a marginal computer company with a user base of students and designers devoted to its elegant products and easy-to-use software. But on October 23, 2001, Apple introduced a portable mass-storage device that could hold enormous amounts of data. Of course, we now know this device as the ubiquitous iPod.

     This extreme catalyst, in which Apple practically created a market that it still dominates, has added tens of billions of dollars to the firm's market cap. More than 150 million iPods have now been sold, and after the product hit store shelves, Apple shares shot from about $9 to over $200 --  a catalyst-fueled gain of more than +2,000%.

   Improving business conditions. For years, Caterpillar stock plodded along as slowly as the familiar yellow tractors it builds. But since the bull market in commodities kicked off five years ago, it's like CAT is in a whole new business. Caterpillar's lineup of machinery, including a $5 million dump truck -- a 22 foot tall and 48 foot long beast that can slog uphill with 400 tons on its back -- is essential to the mining and energy sectors. Soaring commodity prices have triggered a rush for its products like never before.

     This major new catalyst for Caterpillar has pushed up its revenue by +100%, its profit by +220%, and its stock price by over +200% in the past five years. This proves that strong catalysts can move a large company -- Caterpillar is one of the 30 Dow Industrials -- as easily as they can a small one.

   Geopolitical shifts. For half a century, 80 miles of water and the bitter aftermath of a hard-fought war have separated Taiwan from mainland China. But for the first time Taiwan's ruling party now promises closer relations and economic ties with Beijing.

     This opens a huge market for Taiwanese goods and services. Taiwan's exports to China have already surged nearly five-fold since 2002... but with trade barriers fully evaporating, you can expect that figure to explode. China's fast-growing economy spells rising disposable incomes for mainland consumers, and you can bet they'll spend some of that cash on the flat-panel TVs, computers and other electronics that Taiwan is churning out by the millions. We expect our two favorite plays on Taiwan's coming growth spurt to give us +20% to +25% annual returns for the next decade.

A Terrible Thing Happens When You Don't Have a Catalyst -- Nothing

     This gives you a quick taste of the rocket fuel catalysts can light under a stock. But what happens in the absence of catalysts?

     Just look at the pathetic stock performance of the nation's "newspaper of record." For years, The New York Times generated strong, stable profits. Circulation was stable, and newspaper companies were considered cyclical plays whose fortunes rose and fell with the broader economy. Another day, another edition -- half ads, half copy. What could change?

     The whole world changed, and fast. The digital revolution catalyst that ignited fires under firms like Google and Yahoo caught newspapers off-guard. Their desperate moves to retool themselves into broader-based communication companies fell short: the TV and radio stations they bought also saw their ad revenues slip, while viewership and listening habits changed.

     Meanwhile, Craigslist and other media started to poach all-important classified-ad dollars. The hits just kept coming: paper costs rose and delivery costs increased, publishers cut staff to save money, then quality fell and subscriptions waned.

     This string of negative catalysts painted an ugly portrait for Times investors. On August 19, 2004, the day Google went public -- a critical milestone in the advertising world -- The New York Times closed at $42.06 per share. The stock has since dropped below $13, falling more than -70%...  while Google has soared +363% during the same time period.

My Proprietary
Catalyst Rating System

     No stock-market force is more important than a catalyst... because nothing generates bigger or quicker gains.

     To help me pinpoint stocks with the most powerful catalysts behind them, I've developed a Catalyst Rating System. This helps me quantify the real strength behind a stock, rather than just going by a hunch that "things look good" for it. A stock can earn from one to five stars, depending on the number and strength of the catalysts I find for it.

     Does it work? I'd say so. The system has pinpointed five-star stocks that have gone on to gain more than +2,000%.

     These catalyst-driven picks have outperformed the market by a long shot. In fact, on its fifth birthday this year, my "Beat the S&P" Portfolio had tripled the performance of the S&P 500 since I started it in 2003.

     My  recommendations have delivered a total return of +136.9% since I started this portfolio in May 2003. During the same period the S&P 500 posted just +44.2%.

     Because it works so well I've made my Catalyst Rating System the backbone of my StreetAuthority Market Advisor newsletter. This rating system is behind all my investment decisions. And the only place you'll find it is in the StreetAuthority Market Advisor.

Counting the Catalysts  -- 
How Many Is Enough?

    The more the better, of course.

     But not all catalysts are created equal. An all-cash takeover offer will do a lot more for a stock than an analyst upgrade, for example. So if I am dead certain that a takeover bid is coming, I might give a stock five stars even if that's the only catalyst I can find.

     Since you can't simply add up a company's catalysts, I've created a system that weighs and rates them. That way, we can compare apples to apples when we're deciding where to put our money.

     My top 5-star rating is for stocks with the strongest combination of catalysts I can find. I don't turn up such gems every day, but if a stock has a five-star rating, you can expect good things to happen. Because of positive news events, trends, or other trigger events I expect these stocks to double, at least. Not overnight of course, but within two years at most.

     Down at the bottom, a one-star stock has no identifiable reason to rise in the coming year. Or at least I haven't found any. Without any catalysts these stocks are "dead money"  --  or worse. You might as well put your money under your mattress, because your mattress will provide a better rate of return.

     To show how my rating system works in real life, let's look at what happened when I gave my strongest 5-star rating to shares of MasterCard.

My Catalyst Counter Said This
Stock Would Double, and It Did

     MasterCard  is a giant in electronic payments, clearing millions of transactions per hour for some 25,000 financial institutions. The credit-card company doesn't actually extend credit to card holders -- it's purely a back-office operation. It derives revenue from transaction fees -- every swipe of a MasterCard puts more cash in the company's coffers.

     When I recommended MasterCard in December 2006, I gave it my top 5-star catalyst rating. Here's why:

The trend toward a cash-free economy: MasterCard was benefiting from one of the strongest long-term catalysts I've ever encountered -- the rapid, seemingly unstoppable trend toward greater use of electronic payments like credit and debit cards. About 40% of all transactions in the United States were paid for with plastic in 2005. By 2011, cash transactions will be the minority, with electronic payments being used in 55% of U.S. commerce.

Strong results in foreign markets: Just as it did in the U.S., I predicted credit-card usage was set to explode in emerging markets like China. Most Chinese card holders use their cards only for major purchases, not for little everyday expenditures like lunch or dry cleaning. To consider a parallel, think about the American wireless market. Ten years ago, most cell-phone users only made a call in case of an emergency. Today, we don't think twice about calling to ask whether you want skim or soy in your latte. Chinese credit card use should mimic that trend -- plastic is just too convenient.

High barriers to entry protect market share: Because it takes decades and billions of dollars to build a global electronic payment network of merchants and banks, MasterCard is protected by huge barriers to entry. The industry is essentially a duopoly, with MasterCard and Visa processing 83% of transactions. This gives them an all but impenetrable advantage over would-be competitors. Discover Card, for instance, was launched in 1985. Even after more than 20 years of business, it has managed to eke out just a 4% market share and has dim prospects against its larger rivals.

     How did these catalysts work out for us when we bought MasterCard? A triple-digit gain, exactly what I expected when I gave it a five-star rating. Readers who followed my initial recommendation saw total returns of +178% in just 18 months.

     MasterCard was no one-hit wonder. Thanks to our focus on catalysts, we've uncovered dozens more winners, including many that did even better than MasterCard.

     (I've got seven other five-star stocks on my "Beat the S&P" buy list right now. You'll see them immediately if you accept my no-risk offer of a trial subscription to the StreetAuthority Market Advisor.)

     This next pick made my readers the sort of profits that most investors go their entire lives without experiencing...

A Capitalist Triumph from
the Ashes of Communism

     In late 2004, I became intrigued by a Polish liquor, beer and wine maker called Central European Distribution Corporation. I pinpointed the following catalysts behind the shares:

Expanding footprint: For decades the Eastern European Communists controlled alcohol through state-run enterprises. After they lost power, countless mom-and-pop liquor distributors took over. The Central European Distribution Corporation has been able to snap up these small-fry and expand its market share into market dominance.

Weak competition: Without any major rivals growth continues to be robust, with 2009 earnings expected to come in +46% higher than 2007's. As its name implies, this company isn't looking to dominate the Polish market alone -- it's setting its sights on the entire Central European region, including Hungary, Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic.

Poland's entry to the broader E.U. market: Central Europe is thriving, but the broader European Union, which Poland joined in 2004, offers 500 million consumers  --  65% more than the United States. If the Central European Distribution Corporation can harness its methodical market-development tactics throughout the E.U., it will tap into massive demand and huge growth potential.

     All these strong catalysts made me bullish on the Central European Distribution Corporation. I added it to my "Beat the S&P" Portfolio on December 14, 2004.

     StreetAuthority Market Advisor readers who followed my lead saw a triple-digit return, with the Central European Distribution Corporation shooting up more than +270%. And the catalysts that attracted me to the stock are still going strong, plus... it's an incredible bargain right now due to the recent market meltdown. Want to take a look for yourself to see if it's for you? You'll find the full write-up on it in one of the free investment reports I send every new subscriber to my StreetAuthority Market Advisor service.

So Where Do You Find the Next
5-Star Triple-Digit Gainer?

     I'll show you two right now. I've just added them both to my StreetAuthority Market Advisor portfolios. The powerful catalysts behind this pair should have them marching steadily higher in the coming months. (In fairness to my paying subscribers, I can't reveal their full identities here, but you'll find them both in the free welcome package of investment reports I send to all new StreetAuthority Market Advisor subscribers.)

Stock #1 -- High-Yielding Container Shipper         Catalyst Rating:


     Here's something you don't find often: a stock whose yield is 10 times as high as its P/E! Yielding 26.6%, this dynamic shipping company sells at a multiple of just 2.6 times earnings.

     This is the cream of the crop in a booming container shipping business that almost doubled in size from 2000 through 2006. This key industry player owns a fleet of 36 containerships and has 32 more scheduled for delivery by the end of 2011.

     One reason I like it: it has almost no exposure to volatile shipping rates. It locks in its ships under 8- to 12-year fixed-rate contracts. And it is also benefiting from the trend toward vessel outsourcing by shippers who would rather lease their ships than buy them. In fact, the firm already has deals in place for most of its 32 yet-to-be-delivered new ships.

     This stock gives you a well-protected harbor where you can earn serious returns. You'll double your money every three years in dividends alone, on top of what the stock does. With its strong yield and near-immunity to any pricing weakness, you have a rare chance to own a steadily growing company with strong catalysts and a solid dividend yield.

Catalysts:

Locked-in growth: Plans to double the size of its shipping fleet by 2011. Already has long-term contracts in place for most of these new ships.

Industry is moving in its direction. The increasing trend for shippers to lease rather than own ships spells strong demand for its fleet.

Dividend Payout almost has to rise. Pays $1.86 per share, with little downside risk to dividends because of its long-term deals. Plus, as new ships are delivered and start earning fees, it can continue boosting its payout, attracting more investors.

Enjoys tailwind of growing global trade. Container shipping grew +11% a year from 2000 through 2006, thanks to the boom in global trade. Continued strong growth in traffic between Asia, the E.U. and the Middle East should offset any weakness in U.S. shipping.
 

-------------------------------------------------------------------


Stock #2 --  Chinese Power Generator                        Catalyst Rating:

     This major power producer runs the most efficient power plants in China, using far less coal to produce the same amount of power. This is a key profit catalyst in an era of rising coal prices.

     What's more, its biggest shareholder is the country's largest builder of utility plants. This relationship gives our pick a right of first refusal to buy all new power plants, a huge competitive advantage that is difficult to replicate.

     If you like a bargain, you'll love the fact that you can buy shares for less than half of what you would have had to pay less than a year ago. The stock has dropped along with the sell-off that has battered the Chinese market since last November. But this solid and profitable utility is nothing like the speculative froth that made up so much of the Chinese stock market bubble. It gives you a conservative play on Chinese growth at an attractive price while paying you a solid 9.1% dividend.

Catalysts:

Safe play on China's growing middle class. Chinese electricity use is growing more than +10% annually as tens of millions of Chinese citizens buy their first air conditioners, refrigerators, and computers.

Aggressive management. The firm is acquiring new plants throughout China, aggressively adding capacity to meet growing demand.

Connected at the very top. The firm's chairman is the son of China's former prime minister.  This counts for a lot in a country dominated by a communist government that still exercises huge control over business.

Lower costs than competitors. Its coal plants are the most efficient in China -- a huge advantage in an era of rising coal prices.

A river of pent-up profits to be released soon. Power is heavily regulated in China, and the government has temporarily frozen rates. This is an enormous future catalyst because it will trigger a huge jump in profits. This one could get back to its old high in a hurry once rates are unlocked, which would mean a +114% gain from here.

Why I'll Never Invest a Penny Without a Clear Catalyst

     Catalysts work in any kind of market, industry, or country. That gives us a huge universe of potential winners.

     With more than 10,000 stocks out there, my job is to narrow a chaotic universe down to a handful of companies that will make us the most money.

     So I run a concentrated portfolio. The more diversified you are, the more likely you are to get average returns. I want a small number of companies that can work in all market conditions.

     I don't pay much attention to what the talking heads on CNBC are squawking about. I can't do much about the economy, business trends or politics anyway, so I just plug away looking for individual stocks with good things in their future that most investors don't seem to see.

     I emulate Peter Lynch, who said that if he spent 20 minutes a year thinking about the economy, he had wasted 15 minutes. You can get all the news you want from plenty of places for free, so I'm not going to ask you to pay me for rehashing it in the StreetAuthority  Market Advisor.

     Instead, I spend my time trying to perfect my catalyst approach to investing. By sticking to stocks that score best on my Catalyst Rating System and making sure they have solid fundamentals, attractive valuations, sustainable competitive advantages, and above-average yields, my readers and I have tripled the S&P 500.

     In the five years since I launched it in May 2003, my "Beat the S&P" portfolio was up +136.9%, while the S&P itself was up just +44.2%.

Put the Odds on Your Side for a Change

     You only need a few great stocks in a lifetime to make a huge amount of money. And the surest way to find these life-changers before everybody else is to look for the catalysts that will trigger their rocket ride.

       StreetAuthority Market Advisor is the only service dedicated to catalyst investing. So if you want to know which securities have the strongest catalysts on the market today, there's no other place to look.

     As long as stocks move up and down in response to trigger events, catalyst investing will continue to work. I see no reason why we can't continue beating the market in the coming years -- and I hope you come along for the ride.

Sincerely,


Paul Tracy

Invitation From The Publisher

Who Is Paul Tracy Anyway... and
Why Am I Begging you to Send For His "Top 10" Stock Picks for 2009?

Dear Investor,

     You've just met my friend Paul Tracy -- the most unlikely stock whiz you could imagine.

     He's a walking contradiction: a snowboarder from the Texas desert with an investing track record that could make him millions on Wall Street. But he'd rather be hiking the hills or catching a band on the Austin music scene than spending his life stuck in a high-rise.

     Five years ago, when we went into business together, he promised me he would double the Dow.

     He failed -- he tripled it instead.

     You'll see his track record for yourself in a minute -- it's all here in black and white.

     Paul credits his success to a simple but strikingly effective tool to find catalysts that will propel a stock higher -- no matter what the rest of the market does.

     As you just saw, Paul's "catalyst detector" is pointing to wind power right now.

     Paul was putting money into wind companies long before T. Boone Pickens decided the time was ripe to build a massive $12 billion wind farm across the Texas panhandle.

     Paul has a knack for anticipating significant investment trends. This is plainly obvious from the unbroken string of winning picks he's made in his annual "Top 10 Stocks" report.

Hottest Investment Opportunities of 2009
Few Americans realize what a luxury it is to turn on the faucet for a glass of clear, cool water.  More than one billion people each day don't get enough water to drink, bathe or wash clothes. And every analysis we make suggests that the water shortage is going to worsen -- even here in the United States.  Millions of people are pouring into California, Arizona and Florida, where there just isn't enough water to support them.

The problem is, no alternative exists for water -- nothing can ever replace it. Less than 3% of the world's water is fresh, and there's no more of it now than there was a million years ago. But six billion thirsty people must now share it. So a breakthrough in "water-creation" technology could make early investors a fortune. Our favorite water-stocks are two forward-thinking firms, one little and the other big, that have set themselves up for years of profits in selling ''blue gold.''  We profile them both in Hottest Investment Opportunities of 2009.

Solving the world's water crisis (and making a fortune at the same time) is just one of the 11 investment angles that Paul Tracy's research team believes will offer the most explosive profit potential in 2009. You'll see Paul's full range of forecasts in this report. Reserve your copy today and we'll send you this report in early January.

Immediate Access to Paul's "Beat the S&P" Portfolio... plus 3 bonus portfolios
     1) Our "Beat the S&P" Portfolio is where Paul puts his catalyst approach to work most methodically. After five years of real-world investing, it hadn't just beaten the S&P 500, it had tripled it, up 136.9% while the S&P gained +44.2%. It's a real-life portfolio that he operates just as you would at home. He always keeps some cash on hand so he can pull the trigger when his catalyst indicator lights up.

     2) In our "Aggressive Growth" Portfolio you'll find stocks with astounding growth rates in earnings, revenues and cash flow. If they continue to execute their business plans their future is golden. These stocks aren't for your mortgage money, but if you're looking for red-hot growth stocks, here's where you should turn first. You'll find Paul's biggest gainers, juggernauts that are up as much as +435%. Eight of his 19 positions are up by double digits....and that's taking into consideration the current market meltdown.

     3) Our "Yield Maximizer" Portfolio gives you a wide range of safe and reliable securities yielding at least twice as much as the S&P 500. Here's where income-loving cash-in-hand investors put their money first. You won't find the same runaway capital gains as in our other portfolios, but when you realize that these cash cows are throwing off average dividends in excess of 17.0%, that's money in the bank.

     4) For the die-hard value investors out there, our "Undervalued Gems" Portfolio is full of stocks trading at deep discounts to the value of their assets. And they all have catalysts that should help them reach their true intrinsic value. This is our most consistent portfolio. Of the 19 positions, nine of them are showing double-digit gains, and four are posting triple-digits.

P.S. Just $39.50? Why So Cheap? I'm a publisher. My business is selling subscriptions. Luckily for me, it's not hard to sell a newsletter that actually does what it's supposed to do: beat the market. And by a lot, with real money, not just on some phony risk-adjusted basis.

In the five years following its 2003 launch, Paul's "Beat the S&P" portfolio gained +136.9% -- while the S&P itself was up just +44.2%.

I could charge $1,000 a year for a service with that kind of track record. So why do I charge so little? Because we have one of the highest renewal rates in the business. Other publishers have to charge high upfront rates because they know they're going to lose 80% of their subscribers within a year. And an "expired" subscriber means zero renewal revenue. Thanks to Paul Tracy, we keep our subscribers longer, and they're happy to renew year after year, so $39.50 for a "get acquainted" three-month offer is just fine with me.

P.P.S. Here's another reason why StreetAuthority Market Advisor is such an easy sell. Let's say you take us up on our three-month trial offer. For three months you get the newsletter, visit the website daily, profit from our recommendations, and download all our special reports. And then, in the third month of your subscription...  in fact, on the last day of the third month...  you decide you don't really like StreetAuthority Market Advisor after all. You ask for your money back. And -- bingo! -- you get it. (The only reason I can afford to make an offer this generous is because so few people ever take me up on it!) That's how sure I am that you'll profit from StreetAuthority Market Advisor.
