How to Profit From the "Evil Genius" of Goldman Sachs
By Jon D. Markman, Contributing Writer, Money Morning (Edit) When references are made to the world's "oldest profession," I sometimes wonder if we're not exactly referring to market manipulation. In this country alone, market operators have been employing all sorts of market manipulations for more than 100 years. What may surprise you is that most of it isn't illegal or even improper; in institutional circles, it's actually viewed as shrewd business. One such manipulation was put on display this week - a news development that had me howling in disbelief and left me in awe of the evil genius of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS). But if we step back, there's a lesson here - a lesson that points to real potential profits if we stop to understand what's about to happen before our very eyes. It's a lesson that I preach to investors - that the institutions that operate the market and maintain its very framework, also "influence" that market's movements. In fact, this real-market "case study" confirms the profit strategy that I've set out in this special report. These machinations are completely legal. But they do happen and those who understand that also have the opportunity to profit from that knowledge. And you don't even have to be part of the institutional elite to do so if you know what to look for. Let me explain...
2,799,900% Gains Starting in November?
One tiny oil has discovered 40 billion barrels of oil. The haul is worth $2.8 trillion. And it's enough to drive the firm's market cap up 2,799,900%.
The company is about to bring this "mother lode" to market. And this historic event could make you very, very rich. For details, please go here now.

Two Sentiment Indicators Investors Should Watch By Don Miller, Associate Editor, Money Morning
Want to get an edge on the market? Sentiment might be a good place to look.
Sentiment tells you how the majority of investors are positioned in a particular market, giving you clues about the next short-term move.
Most of the time, it's an exercise in futility. The bulls and bears are about equally balanced, rendering the market neutral.
But occasionally, investors all jump onto the same side of a trade. And that spells opportunity.
When everybody's on the bullish side, there's no one left to sell. When everybody's on the bearish side, there's no one left to buy. Either way, the market is extremely unbalanced. At that point it's simple - you load up on the other side of the trade and wait for the market to reverse. Continue...
Buy, Sell or Hold: Government's Heavy-Handed Plans Spawn Profits With These Three Top Stocks for 2010
By Horacio R. Marquez, Contributing Editor, Money Morning (Edit)
When government boosts its involvement in the economy, there's a predictable impact on interest rates, taxes, inflation, the country's currency and even its stock market. As a veteran global investor, I've seen this play out time and again in emerging-market economies, where it's commonplace for government to play an active and heavy-handed role.
I know from my years of experience just what to expect each and every time this story plays out. And that's not all.
I also know how to turn this special knowledge into beat-the-market profits.
Here in the United States, the Obama administration and the U.S. Federal Reserve are like two elephants that have been put to work brutishly reshaping the U.S. economy. We're already experiencing the effects of big government involving itself in the private sector. Expect the dollar to fall even more - after year-end profit-taking ends. Also expect a further deployment of government-stimulus money to industries where the United States has a large competitive advantage and can generate domestic jobs.
We'll be only too happy to ride the resulting economic shifts for profit.
In fact, as part of this installment of "Buy, Sell or Hold" - I've identified three of the best profit opportunities for the New Year. The three "must-own" companies - each poised to benefit from these shifts - are: Corning Inc. (NYSE: GLW), The Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) and Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE: CY). We offer them to you here as part of a Money Morning "Outlook 2010" Special Report.

The richest guarantee we've ever offered you: You see 225% gains or we pay you $995. You're guaranteed to win either way. It's all explained in this Special Situations report. But the minute conditions change, we'll be pulling this report. You'll see why here...
