Tech stocks have staged a very impressive rally since October 1st. So we're out of the woods, right? We're on our way to a new bull market, right? And everything is well in technology land, right? WRONG! And if you make the same mistake I see many investors making -- and jump back in tech stocks like it's 1999 all over again -- you will likely lose your shirt. YOU SEE, much of the rise in tech stocks is attributable to "short covering" -- and it won't continue with the breadth and power folks are dreaming of. Why? Because the entire tech sector still has an erratic and unpredictable earnings outlook. To simplify it even further, earnings for most tech companies STINK! Tech companies -- with very few exceptions -- are drowning in red ink. And most won't have positive earnings news for the next 7-to-10 months. That's why most tech stocks -- while they've popped off their lows -- offer much greater risk than potential reward for the foreseeable future. IF YOU WANT to stay safe now -- but still earn handsome profits you can take to the bank -- you must invest in those companies I call "EARNINGS MONSTERS." That's the term I use for companies bucking the current trend...and GROWING their earnings anywhere from 30%-to-50%--while most companies are lucky to earn anything at all. These "EARNINGS MONSTERS" are the only sort of stocks we own at my Blue Chip Growth Advisory. And they're the only stocks that YOU should even think of owning now. I've written to you several times about out "Earnings Monsters" over the last few months. And I'm sorry you haven't yet joined my roster of Blue Chip Growth clients because you're MISSING OUT: *Retailer Lowe's is one great example of the stocks we own at Blue Chip Growth. No razzle-dazzle. Just strong earnings growth. It's already UP 103% for the year! *PeopleSoft is one of the few tech stocks I own today. Why? Solid 30%+ earnings growth so far in 2001. In fact, 3rd quarter profits "beat the street" by 25%. The result? The stock is UP 97% since October 1st. *Tenet Healthcare is a great little company to own in times like these. It's a top-player in a virtually recession-proof business. It's up a nice, stomach-calming 36% YTD. *What recession? Chopper king Harley Davidson is hogging all the profits. The company announced chart-topping earnings after-the-bell on October 9th, and its stock is UP 20% since. *If you like HOME RUNS, our stock in Emulex has SOARED 251% since the beginning of October. Why? Because it's one of very few tech stocks that's still an EARNINGS MONSTER! We own all these stocks -- and some twenty more like them -- at Blue Chip Growth. And those are the sort of profits YOU'RE MISSING OUT on by not investing in the EARNINGS MONSTERS I write about in my advisory. Since I started my Blue Chip Growth advisory in late 1997, our portfolio has beaten the S&P better than 2-to-1, thanks to our commitment to earnings quality. And the advisory I started in the mid-1980's, MPT Review, has GAINED 3,850% in the last 16 years, according to The Hulbert Financial Digest. HERE'S THE KEY: I'm a very fickle guy. As long as a company keeps performing, I love it...things start looking iffy, I take the profits and run. We DUMPED EMC last year and pocketed 466% gains. We SOLD Lucent after it gained 158%. We banked 209% gains overall from Cisco; 189% in Home Depot; 121% in Microsoft; 179% in Amgen; 113% in Wal-Mart; 320% in Dell Computer; 196% in Vodafone Airtouch; and 316% in Nokia. All stocks we SOLD last year. We owned them all while they were STILL EARNINGS MONSTERS -- and sold them before they fell. That's why I urge you to invest the way we do at Blue Chip Growth. It's simply the SAFEST WAY to HUNT FOR PROFITS -- in any kind of market. So which companies qualify as EARNINGS MONSTERS now? Find out by trying my Blue Chip Growth advisory RISK-FREE. You'll make money -- or it won't cost you a dime. I'll give you six months to try the service risk-free -- set the bar as high as you want. Sign up now. I'll introduce you to the EARNINGS MONSTERS that are your best bet for 50% gains -- or more -- over the next 6 months.

That's great news -- but not for tech stocks. In fact, many tech insiders are SELLING to raise money for taxes they owe on options conversions last year. That'll just knock many tech stocks for a loop again. So stay away! Buy our EARNINGS MONSTERS instead.
