 | Dear Investor, In a second, I'll tell you how to sneak a peek into a fascinating monthly gathering in London... where a dozen of the world's top-rated hedge fund managers get together to bounce their latest ideas off each other. But first, let me ask you this: Did you realize that during the past five years the strongest stock market in the world was in Bulgaria -- up an astounding 1,626%?
Or that Pakistan was up 681%... Peru up 522%... Russia up 520%... Czech Republic up 455%... Austria up 318%... Hungary up 272%... Indonesia up 260%... India up 199%... Mexico up 119%... all while our own S&P 500 was barely above water, eking out 1.4% a year?
No wonder so many smart investors are expanding their horizons... and moving their money around the world to profit from the shifting global economic order.
My name is Nicholas Vardy. I've built my career on this premise... and have likewise spent my life following opportunities wherever in the world they may take me.
I was raised in the States, educated at Harvard and Stanford and studied in Europe as a Fulbright Scholar... and now work in England.
From my base in London I've spent the past 10 years sifting through stock markets around the world, unearthing investment gems that glitter brighter than anything you'll find in the U.S.
If you'd like to join me as we set our sights abroad, I invite you to become a member of Vardy's Global Bull Market Alert.
My Global Bull Market Alert is just what it sounds like: a finely-tuned profit seeker with a world-wide focus. My first and highest priority is to alert you to bull markets around the world just as they're starting to take off.
I run this trading service from my perch in the heart of Mayfair, ground zero of London's hedge fund community. I've spent the past 10 years prying my way into this secretive world. In a minute, I'll tell you how I've managed to make personal connections with these high-flying investors... giving me an inside look at exactly where (and when) they are moving their own money into top-performing global markets.
Right now, my readers are using this information to hop in and out of red-hot foreign markets and generate a stream of rapid-fire profits.
And they do come in fast. Here are a few trades my subscribers have cashed in on recently: 89% in 7 days 93% in 13 days 165% in 5 weeks 240% in 7 weeks
If you're ready for a taste of red-hot global markets, you're ready for Vardy's Global Bull Market Alert. Here's a peek at a few of our recent trades, to give you an idea of what we're all about: • Alert #7: November 28, 2005: The Luck of the Irish. Irish biotech outfit Elan has had lots of luck, both good and bad. The FDA approved Elan's first blockbuster drug Tysabri, a treatment for multiple sclerosis, in November 2004. Three months later, the FDA pulled the drug from the market. That sent Elan's stock plunging from $27 to $8 in a single day.
This past November, after the FDA granted Tysabri "priority review" status, the stock broke out of a tight trading range, establishing a solid uptrend.
I decided it was time to jump on board. My call: "Buy Elan at the market, and put in a stop at $8.25. But be prepared for a volatile ride. If you want to go full throttle on the Elan recovery, go ahead and buy the April $12.50 options."
Three weeks later we cashed out for a 128% gain on the options, and we sold the stock for a 37% profit in only 8 weeks. • Alert #21: February 14, 2006: A Gift from "Mr. Market." With "Mr. Market" suffering from one of his periodic mood swings -- especially with respect to commodities prices -- we had the chance a few months ago to take a cheap bite at the commodity apple.
When I saw that London-based Rio Tinto (RTP) -- a top-notch mining conglomerate supplying aluminum, copper, diamonds, energy, gold and iron ore -- was trading at a P/E below 12, I knew where to place my bet.
Rio Tinto had recently been valued at $230 by Lehman Brothers. So at $189, it was a steal. As I said in my Alert, "We may not catch it at the exact bottom, but we'll be close. We're looking for a good 20% short-term bounce in this stock."
Result? We found just what we were looking for: We made exactly 20% on this stock in 3 months. The subscribers who followed my options advice -- "If you want to play the RTP bounce for even bigger profits, buy the July $200 calls" -- pocketed 77% in only 1 week. • Alert #23: March 14, 2006: Scoring Big with GOL. Brazil's low-cost airline -- GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes -- is one of the fastest-growing carriers in the world. Unlike competitors that operate at a loss in order to gain customers, GOL has made fat profits since its launch in 2001. It now boasts the highest profit margins of any publicly traded airline in the world.
So when this gem dropped from $34 to $27 this past spring, I saw a terrific buying opportunity. My exact words: "With a forward P/E of less than 13, and a PEG ratio of .57, GOL is a screaming buy. Look for the stock to bounce back above $30 soon. For even more potential upside, buy the $30 July call options."
Nine weeks later we unloaded the stock at $34.30, for a 32% gain. Our options players sold half their position in just two days for a 70% gain and the rest in a month for a 165% gain.
We don't come out ahead on every trade, of course. But with a decisive margin of winners versus losers, and with the profits coming in so fast, we're establishing a rock-solid track record of gains no one can argue with.
 In the first nine months since launching this service (which is through the first half of this year), we've made 55 total trades that have made us an average of 12.85% each. With an average holding period of just 46 days, that comes out to an annualized gain of 160.97%. Meanwhile, buy-and-holders of U.S. stocks have struggled to hold onto meager single-digit gains. There's Always a Bull Market Somewhere There's an old saying on Wall Street that packs a lot of wisdom into a few words: "When the wind blows, even the turkeys fly."
What that means, of course, is that it's pretty easy to make a buck in a bull market. Just about anyone can do it. We saw that here in spades during the 1990s when clueless day-traders made fortunes simply because they were in the right place at the right time.
It's hard to lose when you've got a strong tail wind filling your investment sails, effortlessly pushing your portfolio ahead.
But what do you do when the bull turns to bear and the wind stops blowing, leaving your portfolio in the doldrums?
Sell short? Too dangerous.
Market time? Too difficult.
Move into cash, wait for the bottom and buy back in? Good luck.
I've got a better answer: Just look for another tail wind... another bull market elsewhere. After all, the "wind" is always blowing somewhere in this wide world.
The laws of economics are strongly on your side in this quest, because the very factors that cripple one market can spark a run in others. That's why so many European and Asian stock markets have zoomed higher while our own has stalled.
Could the tide turn against foreign markets and put the U.S. back on top? Sure. And if it does, we'll be right there to profit. (After all, I run a global service, not just a foreign one. The U.S. is on my radar screen, too.)
But consider this: two of the best investors in modern history, Warren Buffett and Sir John Templeton, both expect a return of just 5% to 6% annually on U.S. stocks over the next 10 years. I wouldn't count on the U.S. leading the pack any time soon.
Meanwhile, it's never been easier to put your money to work abroad. New ADRs are streaming onto our exchanges every day... once-closed markets around the world are opening to foreign investors... and dozens of exchange traded funds now make it cheap, fast and easy to stake a claim in fast-growing foreign economies. What Benjamin Franklin Taught
Me About Making Money Fact: When he died at 84, Benjamin Franklin was one of the 100 richest Americans of all time.
But it's not his knack for making money people remember him for. It's relentless zeal for knowledge, his drive to understand how the world around him really worked... and the fascinating life he enjoyed as a result.
Franklin was obviously a brilliant fellow, but he realized that he could get ahead even faster by surrounding himself with accomplished people, learning their secrets, and using that knowledge himself.
So in 1727, Franklin started meeting regularly with a diverse group of fellow businessmen: printers, surveyors, cobblers and so on. The group called itself the "Junto."
Taking a page from Franklin's book, I've put together a 21st Century Junto of "money wizards" in the heart of London... so I can learn (and you can profit) from the best and the brightest of my own contemporaries.
You won't find any cobblers or printers at this Junto's monthly meetings. Take a look at a few of my recent invitees:  The #1 global hedge fund manager
The #1 European hedge fund manager
The #1 emerging Europe hedge fund manager
The #1 Russian hedge fund manager
The London representative of the Japanese Central Bank
CEOs of technology venture capital funds
Chief economists from the world's top investment banks
What It's Like to Rub Elbows with $50 Billion There's no better lesson in real-world money-making than sitting face to face with a dozen billion-dollar hedge fund managers.
 At a recent London Junto, I looked around the table and realized that the fate of $50 billion was riding on the investment decisions of the men in the room. That's more than 25% of all hedge fund assets in Europe at a single meeting.
Just like in those old EF Hutton ads, when these guys talk, a hush falls
over the room... and people listen, carefully.
For example, at our June 2005 Junto I asked the world's #1-rated global macro manager for his top big-picture profit prediction for the coming decade.
He told us to keep an eye on Germany, the world's third-biggest economy. We did just that and watched the German market climb steadily following his presentation. A year later, it was up 27%, triple the S&P's 9% gain, and nine times the Nasdaq's 3%.
A few months later, as President Putin was cracking down on capitalism in Russia, and the press was claiming that investors were fleeing the country... I wanted to know what was really going on.
So I invited my friend Bill Browder, founder and CEO of Hermitage Capital Management to speak at the Junto. Bill is the biggest foreign investor in Russia. He has pulled Western capital into Russia for more than a decade, sparking development and cleaning up Russian companies for listing on the world's stock exchanges.
Contrary to conventional wisdom, Bill predicted that the Russian market was about to take off.
I have to admit, this surprised many of us in the Junto -- and we pride ourselves on our contrarian instincts. Sure enough, Bill called it right on the nose. Despite the dire warnings in the press, the Russian market turned around and more than doubled over the next 12 months.
There's nothing quite like learning from real-life practitioners at the peak of their powers. In my academic life, I had the benefit of brilliant professors at Stanford and Harvard Law School. And I had even more as a Fulbright Scholar.
I've got a wall full of degrees, but so do plenty of other money managers. What they don't have is my Junto. And that's an advantage you can share with me in every issue of Vardy's Global Bull Market Alert. Join Me and Profit from the
World's Most Powerful Investment Force Here's something a lot of people forget: Every time you invest -- whether it's on the NYSE or in Madagascar -- you're making a currency bet. An appreciating currency gives you a wonderful "tail wind," pushing the dollar-value of your investment ever upward, even if its price in local currency doesn't move a bit.
I hate to discourage all the stock pickers out there, but the simple fact is that it's much more important to be in the right countries than the right stocks. Almost everything flies high when a country's economic winds are blowing smartly.
Take Brazil for example. You can buy any Brazilian stock, and if the currency appreciates 10% over the next year, you'll earn a 10% "currency bonus" on top of whatever the stock returns.
Actually, thanks to the compounding effect, your windfall is even greater. A 10% gain on your stock, combined with a 10% gain in the currency, means you pocket 21%.
Likewise, a 20% gain becomes a 32% gain... a 30% gain becomes a 43% gain, and so on. With so many experts predicting a flat market here in the U.S., that extra return starts to look awfully good.
My service is tailor-made for taking advantage of the fortune-making power of appreciating currencies. What's more, because we have money in several countries at once, we escape the roller coaster syndrome suffered by investors who keep all their money in one volatile market. More Bull Markets Abroad than on Wall Street Whenever you hear that the U.S. is the center of the financial universe, keep this in mind: In 2005, the U.S. stock market was the ninth-worst performing market (out of 80 major markets) in the world. The S&P came in 71st out of 80, and the Dow Industrials limped in even lower, in 75th place. In fact the Dow was one of only seven of the world's 80 major stock markets that lost money last year. For the 20 years through 2005, the U.S. stock market was ranked among the top-performing world stock markets only FOUR times! For the past five of those years, it never even cracked the top five! 75% of all publicly-traded companies are located outside the U.S. Today, the U.S. makes up only 25% of global production--down from 50% in 1945.
Yet while the S&P 500 eked out a 3% gain in 2005, plenty of foreign markets were on fire... Czech Republic: UP 161%
Dubai: UP 132%
Colombia: UP 125%
Russia: UP 83%
Korea: UP 58%
South Africa: UP 28%
Brazil: Up 45%
Austria: UP 32%
Canada: UP 26%
Japan: UP 22%
Yet... even after running up so high... plenty of foreign markets are still dirt cheap!
The Dow Jones is trading at more than 20 times earnings. Compare that to many overseas markets that are trading at 10 times earnings or less. That means you could double your money even if these fast-growth markets do nothing but catch up!
Now do you see why I scout the world when looking to put my money to work?
I've never understood why investors would chain themselves to a single country.
It's like shopping in one aisle of the supermarket for your entire life. Your portfolio is bound to suffer from malnutrition. You've got a world full of choices out there just begging to make you richer.
Why handicap yourself right off the bat by denying yourself access to 75% of the world's most lucrative market plays?
Easily hopping from market to market is an advantage that the average investor didn't have not so many years ago.
Now I wouldn't invest any other way. How My Service Works: The Nuts and Bolts It's as quick and easy as it gets. Every week, I send you an Alert -- by e-mail or fax (your choice) -- giving you my thinking behind each trade and exactly how to execute it.
Along with these stock plays I'll usually include an option play on the same stock that can really energize your profits. We've made up to 222% in 23 days on these options.
You'll receive a follow-up recommendation for every trade the moment I feel it's reached its peak profit. You'll never be left in the dark.
Of course, you won't be hearing from me only once a week. The market doesn't conveniently flash its buy and sell signals on schedule, so I'll e-mail you additional Alerts whenever a prime trading opportunity arises.
To help keep things simple and focused, we'll usually have no more than 8 plays in the portfolio at any one time.
The one common element of our moves will always be speed. When an opportunity unfolds, I'll send you an Alert immediately. Minutes after my decision to move you'll have my advice in your hands.
It's all very straightforward. If my Alert says to buy the Korean ETF [symbol: EWY] because I think Seoul's Central Bank is going to lower interest rates, sparking a surge in Korean equities, all you have to do is call your broker and relay that message. Or better yet, go online and do the pointing and clicking yourself.
(I recommend that you use a cheap online broker because costs are the only piece of the investing puzzle that you control. So you might as well take advantage of it. Every dollar you save in commissions goes right to your bottom line.)
Important: Even though we're investing in markets around the world, we're buying stocks (or ETFs) on U.S. exchanges. So it's as easy as buying GE or IBM.
The point is, investing with Vardy's Global Bull Market Alert is just as easy as what you're already doing. You won't have to open up a new brokerage account or pay the high fees of buying stocks on foreign exchanges. Your current account will work just fine. The Perfect Program for Busy Investors Vardy's Global Bull Market Alert is perfect for busy people who don't have the time to follow the markets closely every day.
You execute these trades in minutes. For example, last December 12 I sent out an Alert urging members to buy the Indian Internet powerhouse Sify (symbol: SIFY). We got in at $8.93 a share. I had been studying this "Yahoo of India" for months and knew that if it broke through its upside resistance of $9, this classic momentum stock would surge.
Sure enough, three weeks later, Sify was hovering around $12. So on January 5, I sold half our position at $11.82 to lock in some profits. Twelve days later, after the Indian market softened, we sold the other half at $9.90. We walked away with a 21.8% gain overall.
And how about those options I mentioned? They worked like a charm. Our March $10 call options soared from 90 cents to $1.70 in a week. We sold half then and the other half on January 5 at $2.90 for a combined average gain of 156%.
Subscribers who put $10,000 in both the stock and the option had $37,780 in their pocket in a month.
Total time Vardy's Global Bull Market Alert subscribers spent "working" on this trade? 10 minutes tops. So... How Much Does a Service Like this Cost? I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. A year's worth of trades, complete with weekly Alerts and sell or close-out signals – e-mailed to you within minutes of my trading decision -- costs just $995.
This Charter-Subscription Offer saves you $255 off the standard subscriber rate of $1,250.
Give the service a try for 2 months and see what you think. If it's not your cup of tea, just let us know and we'll refund 100% of your money (and if it's after 2 months we'll prorate your refund).
For the Charter Price of $995, you get every advantage my service gives big-league investors who have millions riding on every trade. You will enjoy first-class, front-row seats to my best picks.
If you think about it, $995 is a modest price to pay for this level of service. On a $100,000 portfolio, it's like paying a management fee of under 1%, which is far less than you'd pay to any of the hedge fund operators in my London Junto. Most of these guys charge several percent PLUS 20% of your profits. (In fact, the top "multi-strategy" managers -- many of whom attend my monthly London Junto meetings -- charge 50% of profits!)
By the way, you can pay even less by signing on for two years now, which drops the price to $1,695. That's an instant additional savings of $295 just for choosing the two-year option. And it comes with the same 100% money-back guarantee. If you prefer, you can pay quarterly.
These trades are the fruit of the same thinking and research that go into my private one-on-one advisory work, for which I charge up to 2% a year plus 20% of net profits. (With a $1 million account, that's at least 20 times the cost of a Charter Subscription to Vardy's Global Bull Market Alert.)
Think of it like pumping your own gas. If you want to pay more for full service, I'd be happy to have you as a personal client and make these trades for you. If you don't mind checking your e-mail and pulling the trigger yourself, my Global Bull Market Alert is the way to go.
Let's recap what your no-risk subscription gives you: Concise weekly Alerts, e-mailed or faxed to you New, little-known investments in hot global markets Specific buy and sell points Bonus options strategies to supercharge your profits Updates on all open positions Tools for multiplying your money Free, personal entry to our monthly Junto meetings should you ever be in London
Still Not Sure? Try It on Me for Two Months My service is not for everyone. You'll have to think more globally and trade more often than you may be used to.
But our quick-turnaround trades could add up to some of the biggest profits you've ever made, possibly doubling or tripling your capital in a year. (In fact, with our annualized return of 161%, we're heading for a virtual triple right now.)
If you are that kind of investor, I'd like to offer you Vardy's Global Bull Market Alert for 60 days risk-free. (That should be long enough to complete a few trades and more than pay for your subscription.) If two months into your trial period you're not thrilled, just drop us a note and we'll promptly refund your $995. Every penny. It's that simple.
 But I'm not worried about refunds. No one is going to leave if the profits keep pouring in at even half the pace they have so far. Members who have put $10,000 into each of our recommendations have already seen a $70,692 profit in the nine months since we started.
So are you ready to make some money -- and have some fun -- together? I think you'll like what you'll find in Vardy's Global Bull Market Alert. Our trades are highly reliable, easy to implement... and have a history of coming in profitably in a hurry. The real question is, why wouldn't you try it? Especially when you can do so risk-free?
To keep from unduly influencing the market and possibly jeopardizing the size of profits, we are only allowing 1,000 Charter Subscribers. Once we reach that number, the door will be closed -- although we will maintain a waiting list and allow new subscribers in as spots become available.
Subscriptions are taken on a first-come, first-served basis.
