He had dollar-signs where his heart should have been. Lying for the sake of money. Pushing more people right into the jaws of the Great White Shark! Today, a very similar thing is happening now on Wall Street. And if you listen to the "all-is-well" analysts, brokers and investment advisors, you're going to end up SHARK-BAIT, too, YOU SEE, everything ISN'T all right. Not by a long shot. The economy stinks -- unemployment is at a decade's high; consumer confidence is shot; and we're in a nasty recession. Does that sound like the right prescription for a broad-based, sustainable market rally? Of course not. I'd bet on Osama Bin Laden turning himself in, before I'd bet even one dollar on "the market," BUT -- and this is a very critical point -- just because the market is a mess...doesn't mean you can't make a lot of money. YOU CAN -- if you understand the only smart way to invest now. Why are so many stocks down 30%, 50%, 70% or more from their highs? SIMPLE -- their earnings have sunk like rocks in the middle of the ocean. And there's no sign these companies' profits are coming back anytime soon. The biggest PROBLEM CHILD? Technology. Tech companies -- with very few exceptions -- are drowning in red ink. And while their stocks occasionally give you short-term bounces...they offer little in the way of lasting gains. 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 92% 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 105% 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 34% 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 21% since. *If you like HOME RUNS, our stock in Emulex has SOARED 193% 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 16 years ago, MPT Review, has GAINED 3,850% in that time, 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. 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. Today, consensus opinion states that 10 rate cuts...tax rebates...one round of tax cuts with more to follow...and a stimulus package that could reach $100 billion, will combine to KICK-START the economy again. Problem is, with everything that has happened, no one knows exactly when. But if you own today's EARNINGS MONSTERS, you don't have to worry. You can make money now -- and bank even BIGGER GAINS once a shred of optimism returns to the overall market. Quick 30%, 40%, 50% pops that lead to profits like we banked previously from Dell Computer (+320.%), Vodafone AirTouch (+196.0%) and Nokia (+316.%)...back when these companies were EARNING MONSTERS, too. 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.
