Dear Fellow Investor,

There’s nothing like a good challenge to inspire you to your best performance.
Or I should say, inspire me to my best performance.

Just tell me you can do something better than I can and watch what happens. The competitor in me is unleashed and I vow to either win or die trying.

It’s not an attractive trait, but it can be a very profitable one… for you.

Which is why we look forward to more results like those we’ve seen that achieve profits of 80% in 11 months…125% in 9 months…159% in 9 months…and 129% in three months.

All because my friend and fellow editor, Yiannis Mostrous, dared to tell me over dinner one night that he could beat any stock pick I came up with.

“Beat me? Are you kidding?”

So it all started in March 2010 as friendly sport. But it didn’t take long to see that the results were just what we challenged each other to be—outrageously profitable! Since then, we have challenged each other to come up with better and better stock picks.

Our Challenge:
Find YOU Triple-Digit Profits in 3–9 Months.

In our first “at bat” Yiannis came up with Perusahaan Perseroan Perseropt PTelekomunikasi Indonesia (TLK).

That was a low blow.

He and I both knew TLK is on a relentless march to conquer the world, starting with making sure every breathing life form in the world’s fifth most populous country is wired to every known type of communications device.

It’s a sensational company and is known among investing pros as one of the biggest stock success stories of the last decade.

Since TLK really got going in September 1998, its NYSE-traded stock has packed on profits of 1,901%.

And the moment Yiannis sucker punched me with that pick in March 2009, TLK shot off 70% profits by July—just four months!

Now every time I want to get myself “psyched up” for some world class stock picking, I take a look at TLK’s chart and see Yiannis staring down at me from atop his high horse. There’s nothing better to inspire me to find even bigger profits.

It’s working, too. The very next month I scored one for the home team with Dril-Quip (DRQ), an oil services company that shot up 46% in two months.

And it didn’t stop there.

By May our stock picking was full-throttle. Yiannis hit me with Dr. Reddy’s Laboratory, a funny little Hong Kong stock that ran up 153% profits in 2009.

I answered him with Starent Networks, a company whose technology helps mobile carriers boost network capacity.

From my initial recommendation to the day three months later when the company was acquired by Cisco, STAR shot up 129%.

WE’LL GIVE YOU OUR STOCK PICKS!

Yes, we started this triple-digit profit challenge for ourselves. But why not share?

We were already doing the work. All we had to do is write up our pick in a quick email and send it off to you once a month along with our reasons for choosing that stock.

It’s all very simple. We don’t have to spend hours on end writing up economic commentary or forecasting trends. We have other newsletters and services for that.

Those services take several hundred hours a month to research, write and publish.

Not just the work of an editor who is experienced and well-versed in stock and bond markets, currencies and commodities, economics both domestic and global, either.

There are also analysts and assistant editors, graphic designers, customer service staff, techies and all the back-office staff it takes to run an organization.

But just a tiny driblet of that is needed to send you one fantastic stock pick per month. So... like I said... why not share?

We liked it. Our publisher liked it. And…

the only thing he asked in return is that you agree to pay a few pennies each month to cover hard costs. Fair enough.

He was fine with giving our most loyal readers a free (but fantastic!) stock pick each month, but drew the line at taking money from his own pocket to do so.

We agreed.

So if that sounds like the deal of the century, come on over and discover which stock is at the top of our list this month in our premier monthly investing service, Cocktail Stocks.

Or if you simply can’t believe we’d be willing to give away stock picks that could be some of the most profitable you (or I!) ever see, read on and let me tell you why you don’t want to miss this opportunity.

“Who in Their Right Mind Would Give Away Their Best Stock Picks?”

Good question. So, so let me introduce myself.

My name is Elliott Gue, and when I’m not challenging my friend Yiannis Mostrous to see who can score the biggest profits, I am editor of The Energy Strategist, the investment newsletter I launched with Investing Daily in 2005.

If you have followed our success, you know that Energy Strategist subscribers have enjoyed 70.5% profits since 2005, an average of 14.1% gains per year. (During that same time, investors following the S&P 500 lost 10.5%, an average of negative 2.1% per year.)

I am also editor of Personal Finance, among the oldest and most respected financial newsletters in the country, with a record of 86.2% gains since 1999 (compared to the S&P’s loss of 1% over the same period).

And now, to satisfy a need we all share—the need to charge up the returns from a conservative investment portfolio with the occasional “super stock”—I’ve taken on co-editing Cocktail Stocks.

You can see from our market-pounding returns that we aren’t new to the world of stock picking.

And we think Cocktail Stocks will be just as much fun for you as it is for us. We get to put the pedal to the metal and go for full-throttle profits.

And now we get to share those profits with you.

Could You Double Your Money 2–3 Times a Year?

Cocktail Stocks is perfect for all kinds of investors. Here’s how it works.

Maybe you don’t have time to watch the markets daily or even weekly.

No problem! We’ll keep it simple for you by saying which stock to buy, at what price, for a few key reasons. 

Just execute the trade and sit back for a few weeks or months until we give the sell signal.

Or maybe you’re an income investor who just wants to have some fun on the side.
Perfect. These trades could end up buying you a new set of golf clubs, trip to Europe or even a new boat!

But then maybe you have limited capital and can’t afford a diverse portfolio. 
Okay, that means you can focus on just the sectors that are moving upward.

We’ll help you find those sectors and the best stocks to profit from them.

With 3- to 9-month holding periods, your capital won’t be tied up for long.

By the time your fourth or fifth pick comes around, you may already be taking your first winner off the table and rolling it into the next one.

And finally, maybe you only…

Invest With People Who Put Their Money
Where Their Mouth Is.

When we finalized plans with our publisher to launch Cocktail Stocks, we discovered he’s as excited as we are. So he said, “Let’s go for it.“

Here’s what you can expect:

Every month Yiannis and I will each come to the table with the stock we believe is most likely to reach triple-digit gains in 3–9 months.

We’ll each present our case and argue and hash it out until the best stock wins.

That’s the stock we bring to you, written up in a short email that tells you exactly which stock to buy, at what price, a solid stop-loss point to protect against any downside and how much you stand to gain.

You’ll get a glimpse into the way we chose that month’s stock, all the way down to the bickering, if that’s relevant to the outcome of our choice. (It’s a difficult process, which is why we usually do it over dinner and a fine bottle of wine!)

And finally, you’ll get an email alert the moment we think you should book your gains.

Our picks are designed to deliver profits in three to nine months. Of course, you can choose to let the winners ride.

We’re looking to be in and out of the hottest sectors, so you can put your capital to its best use at all times.

We Mean It—Cocktail Stocks is Fast and Fun!

Like I said, we’re already doing it. Yiannis and I are already challenging each other to find the single best stock every month.

We’re already doing the workand having fun doing it—so why not share it all with you!

All we ask in return is to pay our publisher’s costs for managing this service.

We estimated the number of investors who would want to sign up, what those hard costs are, and decided that $5 per month is fair for everyone—for you, our publisher and his email production employees.

What do Yiannis and I get out of it? It’s no secret—I hope that you are so ecstatically happy with your profits that you decide one day to subscribe to one of our paid investment services.

Meanwhile, I’m happy to take this ride with you, pointing you to some possible big-time gains.

Be sure and join us right here and now. We like to keep flooding our publisher with new members to show him how our brilliant idea keeps working.

So thanks for joining us. Now let’s go get some Cocktail Stocks!

Most sincerely,


Elliott Gue
Co-Editor, Cocktail Stocks
