The Best Possible Investment Advice
By Jeff Clark

You get what you pay for.
That was the advice my father gave me after I bought my first car. I paid $350 for a 1972 Dodge Dart. It ran for one week before I had to pay $4,500 to rebuild the engine and transmission.
My wife offered the same advice after I hired a painter for the outside of our house. I gave him a 50% down payment on the job. He painted 20% of the house and then disappeared forever.
My college marketing professor was a bit subtler when he suggested, "Cheap things aren't good and good things aren't cheap."
With that thought in mind, I'm going to tell you the ideas we offer in Growth Stock Wire are the best investment advice available for the money.
You pay absolutely nothing to get the quantitative analysis of Ian Davis, the sage advice of commodity expert Matt Badiali, the best take on biotech from Rob Fannon, and my biweekly rants on market timing.
Indeed, you would have done very well if you took our free advice over the past few months... Matt, for example, tipped you off to Southern Copper in a February essay. The stock is up about 10% since then. In March, Rob told you to avoid Amgen, which has since fallen about 10%. And in April, Ian argued it might be time to get back into Chinese stocks. One of the funds he suggested is up about 12.5%.
But you would have done even better if you paid for our advice.
I'll let Ian, Matt, and Rob speak for themselves. But as well as you could have done trading the market on my free advice, you would have done exponentially better if you were a subscriber to the S&A Short Report.
For example, last week I told Growth Stock Wire readers the Volatility Index and shares of Merrill Lynch were leaning bearish and caution was in order. For Short Report subscribers, however, I suggested buying puts on the PowerShares QQQ, a fund that follows the Nasdaq. We sold half for a 47% gain in one day and the other half for a 67% gain two days later.
In the March 27 Growth Stock Wire, I wrote, "Traders need to buy into this market." If you took that free advice, then you did quite well. The S&P gained about 8%. But subscribers to the Short Report locked in gains of 61% and 100% trading call options on the semiconductor index, 43% on Motorola options, and 100% trading options on EMC, a tech company.
I'll continue to give the best general trading advice to readers of the Growth Stock Wire. But if you're interested in getting specific trade recommendations, trades that have the potential to double or triple in a very short time frame, then consider a subscription to the S&A Short Report.
We're doubling the price of this newsletter effective June 10. So you have a limited time to take advantage of the current price... and get a little more than what you're paying for.
