Even Better Than Christmas Because
It Comes Twice a Year

Dear Whiskey Shooter,

I never tire of receiving responses from you about our content. In fact, it's often the best part of my day.

But your questions, comments and corrections aren't the only mail we receive at the Whiskey Bar…

"I bought 3 silver spreads...My calculations show a gain of about 1500% from my initial price. My two best current holdings...are cocoa, up 335% and wheat, up 320%.

"So here's a brief history. I subscribed to RTA in Dec '05 and opened a brokerage acct with $15,000. I had absolutely no knowledge about commodities... Since opening the acct I've withdrawn $30,000 and the account value as of today is over $123,000. So as of now I'm up over 10x. Money isn't everything, but all things being equal, I'd rather have some than not. I really appreciate the guidance you given me. I hope this note puts a smile on your face. Thanks."

— Greg


"Hi,

"I opened my RTA account with $2000... Added $5000 more... Account value today is ~$34,000."

— Pete

 
"I just wanted to thank Dan Amoss for the Strategic Short Report letter. After recently closing out my second half of the Lehman put, I have a scored a personal rate of return of 342%!!!! This is in addition to the average of 72% so far on his other recommendations.

"Thanks so much, Dan. This one newsletter has actually paid for my entire membership fee for the reserve membership.

"If you are ever in Medford, Oregon, look me up. Dinner is on me."

— P. B., MD


"I made 27% on my first currency option trade. Even though I kept the size of this first transaction small to gauge your service, I made $325 which was a psychological boost in this current bear market."

— M. M.

What are these folks talking about? This is your chance to find out. We're offering an exclusive peak. The keys to the castle can be yours…if you just read below…

Announcing Agora Financial's First-Ever "One-Time Dividend," Available Only to NEW Members. . . Only Until Jan. 1 at Midnight

On Feb. 16, 2009, at 4:00 p.m., I will FedEx a $1,500 check to you — it's your personal "One-Time Dividend" from my desk at Agora Financial headquarters.

Two conditions:

1. You must act between now and midnight, Jan. 1, to qualify.

2. You must give me your address, so I know where to FedEx your check.

Dear Reader,

I'm about to FedEx $1,500 "One-Time Dividend" checks to a very small group of readers.

And I really hope that you claim yours.

After all, you deserve something nice after this rotten year in the markets.

You know the story... stocks have tanked. Energy prices bounce all over. Real estate has cratered.

Some folks can't even trust their own bank!

And — every major indicator screams that we're headed for a dark recession.

That's why you might be surprised that I want to send you a personal "One-Time Dividend" check for $1,500.

As you know, most American companies are in panic mode right now — slashing staff and cutting costs like raging vultures.

But I want to let you in on a little secret:

It's been a great year for Agora Financial.

So I'd like to thank you by giving you the opportunity to claim a "One-Time Dividend" of $1,500. I'll tell you how at the end of this letter.

Now, I don't want you to think I'm gloating.

Our world-renowned team of analysts and experts predicted everything that's happened over the past year. From the housing bust to the global meltdown.

Even better, they made some great specific investment calls for their readers — racking up wins even as the rest of the world moaned over their losses.

That's why we want to turn today's market into a historic opportunity for you.

It's time to give you the complete protection and peace of mind you need to help you make more money.

So I've just authorized our first-ever "One-Time Dividend" payment for a select group of new readers, should they qualify for it.

Join this elite group today and you'll receive your own $1,500 check.

Free and clear.

No gimmicks. Not a single form to fill out. No hoops to jump through.

Just a $1,500 check sent directly to your doorstep.

But the hitch is that you must act before midnight on Jan. 1 to claim your check.

I know this sounds surprising.

I've never heard of a private investment research business paying out a "One-Time Dividend," either.

But it's as true as can be. As a valued Agora Financial reader, you could be entitled to this historic $1,500 "One-Time Dividend."

That's the best part — as long as you're an existing Agora Financial reader, you have the opportunity to qualify for this $1,500 check. No matter if you've paid us anything in the past or not.

I'll tell you exactly how to qualify at the end of this letter.

You can still get that check even if our research has paid for itself 10 or 20 times over.

I'd like to show you some recent examples of folks who have used our research to take monster gains... folks who are eligible to collect their own "One-Time Dividend":

  • Marty Readling recently got laid off. But that didn't stop him from feeling "guilty" about making 300% from one of our plays recently. He said, "I have been making more money in the markets than at work anyway...but when you can do it while the Dow is falling 500 points a day, that is really something." Even though Marty already swiped 300%, he can get a $1,500 check if he acts soon...

  • And then there's Ian, who turned his $15,000 account into $250,000 with the help of our research. Even though he's already made hundreds of thousands of dollars, he can grab that $1,500 "One-Time Dividend" just like you can

  • Even Derek, who used one of our recommended calls to grab $7,000 in just 2 days — he can grab that $1,500 if he acts soon

  • How about Howie, who just signed up for the free Daily Reckoning e-letter just 6 days ago? He's never spent 1 cent on our research, yet I'm completely willing to send him $1,500 if he acts soon...

Feel free to use it on a well-deserved vacation cruise. Or to pay off the post-holiday bills. Or sock it away to buy your grandkid a nice birthday gift.

Whatever you choose to do with it, that $1,500 can be yours, free and clear.

But why in the world would we pay out that much money?

In short, to help you decide to join our highest level of service, the Agora Financial Reserve.

We decided that paying out a $1,500 "One-Time Dividend" was the most serious and genuine way to sincerely thank you for your support in this difficult year.

And for your support over the past six years we've published our independent investment research.

And to be honest, I firmly believe you'll have the opportunity to make far more than that $1,500 if you take full advantage of the Reserve. Just like Marty, Ian and Derek did.

A Hushed and Private Invitation
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY. . .

The Agora Financial Reserve is the most intimate, elite inner circle out of our 135,000 paid subscribers.

The Reserve is simple: You get every single newsletter, "VIP" stock research service, and fast acting options research service Agora Financial currently publishes for as long as we publish them.* You also get almost every single product we launch in the future. You get almost every single special research report we write. For as long as we publish them — or for as long as you want.

*With the exception of Bulletin Board Elite and The Richebächer Letter.

And you get all of that — for life — for less than the cost of one year of all of those services.

What newsletters and research services am I talking about?

You'll receive these investment research newsletters: the world-famous Outstanding Investments, Capital & Crisis, Easy Money Options, Penny Stock Fortunes, and our soon to be launched Lifetime Income Report.

On top of that you'll get our high-end VIP "special opportunity" monthly stock research services: Energy & Scarcity Investor, Mayer's Special Situations and Breakthrough Technology Alert.

And you'll get our fast-paced, intensely profitable option research services delivered direct to your e-mail inbox: Resource Trader Alert, Options Hotline, Gold & Options Trader, Strategic Short Report, and both of our brand new options services scheduled to launch this month: Master FOREX Options Trader and the tentatively titled Income on Demand.

You'll also be entitled to nearly every single service that we launch in the future.

That's not all, of course — Agora Financial has unveiled some insanely beneficial services exclusively for Reserve Members...

First and foremost, we have created the "World Travel to Profits" program. We scour our worldwide network of insider contacts looking for under-the-radar investment opportunities, in everything from local stocks to real estate. Up until now, whenever our analysts came across one of these deals, we had to sweep it under the rug. They were just too small to share them with a large audience.

Those tiny, yet possibly highly profitable opportunities, were some of our main motivations for creating the Reserve service — so sophisticated individuals could take advantage of the same microscopic, under-the-radar international opportunities that we always found intriguing, but never had a small, intimate enough forum to release them to...

And there's one benefit to the Reserve that's entirely new to the independent financial publishing industry... a benefit all of our editors agreed on when we formulated the Reserve.

This advantage is called the Legacy Program — but before I tell you more, let me make it perfectly clear why I'm honored to invite you to become an Agora Financial Reserve Member today.

THIS INVITATION WILL NOT BE SENT TO THE PUBLIC

There are two strict reasons why we will send this invitation only to loyal readers like you.

First, because I can reward only people who are already familiar with our research with a $1,500 one-time check.

Second, because there are so few Reserve Memberships available, the invitation can go to only a dedicated Agora Financial reader like yourself.

For that reason, I respectfully ask that you do not forward this e-mail to anyone else.

But exactly how few Reserve Members can we accept?

** Invitation Limited to the First 1% of Existing Readers**

Only one in 100 of existing Agora Financial readers may join... If all of our readers knocked on the door, 99% of them would have to be turned away!

It's not that we're being snooty or unfair. We simply know that some of the profit opportunities that we will research and present to you are too small and sensitive for too many people to know about.

That's why we picked the 1% threshold — we want to see what will happen when a small group of serious individuals gets hold of nearly every single profit opportunity that we know of.

Exclusive Benefits That 99% of Our Readers
Cannot — and Will Not — Ever Profit From

We must limit the available seats in the Reserve to 1% of our readership. Membership is first come, first served.

If we do eventually permit more folks into the Reserve, the price could go up by as much as $2,000.

And, that's a BIG "if." We may never extend another invitation. It depends 100% on how the Reserve Members' interest affects these infinitesimal underground opportunities...

There are two unbreachable limits placed on this invitation.

I just told you about the 1% limit. But we also have a limit in time.

This application period for new Agora Financial Reserve Members expires immediately on midnight, Jan. 1, 2009.

We were compelled to do that so we have a clear cutoff point to compile the list of $1,500 "One-Time Dividend" check recipients.

But please don't make the mistake of thinking you can wait until Jan. 1.

I fully expect to fill our 1% limit long before that day rolls around. But let's quickly return to that $1,500 "One-Time Dividend" check that I want to pay you ...

How and Why I'll Pay You a $1,500 "One-Time Dividend"

Simply upgrade your account to our highest level of membership, the Agora Financial Reserve, by Jan. 1 and you'll automatically be put on the list of subscribers who I'll FedEx a $1,500 check.

That's right — if you sign up for a Reserve Membership by Jan. 1:

I'll FedEx you a $1,500 "One Time Dividend" check in mid-February for sticking with us.

Remember, the check is yours — free and clear.

You can do whatever you want with it.

In addition to your check, you'll have a lifetime of our fast-paced trading research services, stock recommendation newsletters and other independent research — on top of the various new services and reports that we will unveil in the future — for far less than the normal price you'd pay for one single year.

You'll benefit from far more than our world-class newsletters and trading research services, though.

You'll be the first potential beneficiary of the exclusive "hush-hush" opportunities that, before now, were far too small and sophisticated to share with a large group of people. That's one of the main reasons we decided to hit the ground running on the Agora Financial Reserve — we want to introduce you to tiny, unknown opportunities.

Opportunities that we hear whispered from our extensive network of insiders. Previously invisible opportunities that we unearth with our own research.

(The invitation I'm extending, however, can last for far longer than a lifetime, as I will show you in one moment.)

First, I'd like to introduce you to some of the specific benefits entitled to Reserve Members:

You Get All of Option Plays for Free for Life. . .

When you accept this charter invitation to the Reserve, you will immediately lock into each and every one of our aggressive and profitable option trading research services.

Services that have recently brought in these gains: 100% on British Pound calls in less than 48 hours, 195% from sugar calls in only 20 days, 173% in 104 days on Systemax puts, 1,011% on UPS calls after holding for just over four weeks and 611% in three months from Newmont Mining...

Resource Trader Alert:
15 of 17 in 2008, Average 2008 Gain is 91%!

Resource Trader Alert uses our addiction to commodities to help you benefit from the world of commodity options.

And the publication has one of the best records that I've seen after 18 years of independent investment research publishing.

Since 2005, 82% of the total number of closed commodity options recommended in Resource Trader Alert ended up winners. And over that same time we've averaged 63% per recommended play, including losers.

That's one heckuva streak, and it shows signs of only continuing...

So far in 2008 we're 15 of 17... with an amazing average gain of 91%!

Here are some of the recent gains from Resource Trader Alert's commodity options recommendations:

    • 108% on Feb. 12 2008, from sugar calls
    • 195% on Feb. 26 2008, from sugar calls
    • 220% on Feb. 28 2008, from a silver spread
    • 107% on April 17 2008, from a gold spread
    • 114% on June 25 2008, from a soybean spread
    • 189% on June 26 2008, from a corn spread
    • 107% on July 14 2008, from a gold spread
    • 186% on Sept. 22 2008, from the short leg of a bull gold call spread.

You know that oil and gasoline prices have shot steadily up. And you can be sure Resource Trader Alert will be there to deliver on some aggressive gains on crude and gas options. In the past, our readers have seen:

    • Crude oil calls held for 20 days, for 119%
    • Unleaded gas calls held for one month, for 17%
    • Crude oil puts held for three weeks, for 39%
    • Crude oil spread held for just over three weeks, for 27%.

Resource Trader Alert's record shines just as impressively outside of the oil and gas market, though.

We rode corn straight up in late '07, when our recommended corn call soared 74% skyward in 19 days. Even at this obscene level of gain, we still thought corn would shoot up some more — so we recommended that our readers sell just half of their position.

Exactly 49 days later, we recommended that our readers sell the second half. Lucky them, bagging 219% on that second half of their corn calls in just over two months.

Please wait. Here are some more:

    • 400% on silver calls
    • 241% on wheat calls
    • 270% in 30 days from a simple coffee call
    • 120% from live cattle (yup, that's right — from options on 1,000
      head of cattle!)
    • 154% in 34 days from an easy-to-follow cotton call.

Resource Trader Alert is your way to learn how to play the quick, strong price changes in commodities. And — it's easy. You can do it from home, with a multitude of brokers, just like buying stocks.

I bought 3 silver spreads...My calculations show a gain of about 1500% from my initial price. My two best current holdings...are cocoa, up 335% and wheat, up 320%.

So here's a brief history. I subscribed to RTA in Dec '05 and opened a brokerage acct with $15,000. I had absolutely no knowledge about commodities... Since opening the acct I've withdrawn $30,000 and the account value as of today is over $123,000. So as of now I'm up over 10x. Money isn't everything, but all things being equal, I'd rather have some than not. I really appreciate the guidance you given me. I hope this note puts a smile on your face. Thanks.

— Greg

Hi,

I opened my RTA account with $2000... Added $5000 more... Account value today is ~$34,000.

— Pete

  • 89 of 107 plays positive since 2005
  • 63% average gain over all plays, including losers

Normally, Resource Trader Alert subscribers pay $1,495 per year. As a Reserve Member, you pay nothing.

Options Hotline:  How a Humble Options Master
Crushed the Million Dollar Milestone

Options Hotline is one of the oldest options services in America. 2008 marks the 28th anniversary of Paul Sarnoff creating the service.

A friend of the legendary Hunt brothers, Paul became famous as one of the first to teach investors how to use stock options in the '60s. In 1980, Paul launched Options Hotline, delivering his subscribers gains for 19 years...

In October 1999, Steve Sarnoff took the service over from his father and mentor. Steve studied options analysis alongside his dad for over a decade — and gave the system a couple of proprietary tweaks of his own.

Here's how it works...

Each week — on Sunday night — Steve sends out the single best option play for the week. It takes less than five minutes to read his entire e-mail. And his recommendations could make you a heap of dough...

Just how much?

I'll let his track record explain... please just take a look at his performance over the last nine years... and how you could've broken the million-dollar milestone with him. (Please remember that average gain accounts for winners AND losers...)

Now how is it that Steve can claim such a stellar achievement? Simple. Steve recommends opening positions and gives a general strategy to help readers determine a good closing point, but readers must use their own judgment in exiting a position. Because of this, we calculate Steve's previous track record based on the highest point each of his actionable recommendations hits after he alerts his readers.

That stellar long-term track record makes it easier to see how Steve's the only one I know who has broken the coveted "Million-Dollar Gains Milestone."

After Steve recommended UPS calls that could have made as much as 1,011% gains for his readers, he broke right through the million-dollar mark.

If you had plugged $5,000 into Steve's first trade when he took over from his father... plugged that same amount into every single one of his recommendation since that time, and ridden each one to its highest possible point, you would have over a million dollars in profits! That's unbeatable — passing the million-dollar milestone in a little over five years...

Bought SMH LH... Closed today up 75% in a week. Good Call. Appreciate it.

— Jim Mahoney

I wanted to drop you a quick note of "thanks" for using the power of options helping me pay for Christmas this year. Let me explain...

I am an Agora Financial Reserve Member and used Steve Sarnoff's recommendation this week to net $900 in about in 3 hours with less than 5 minutes of my time...Not bad for 5 minutes of "work."

Thanks again for the great services you provide and have a very happy Holiday season!!!

— Warmest regards,
Paul G.

Strategic Short Report:  Your Way to
Profit As the Real Estate Bubble Implodes

Now, you know that the markets related to housing — specifically, subprime mortgages — shoot lower every day.

And Dan Amoss has taken advantage of that trend by playing put options on subprime mortgage insurer MGIC.

Let's take a look at a company Dan had his eye on. Here's the chart for MGIC's stock price:

71% seems like a big drop for MGIC stock over just nine months, doesn't it? But even that 71% move paled in comparison with the move that an option play on that same stock made...

Brave investors who got in and out at the right time could've swiped 336% gains from a play that used put options as leverage.

That works out to a profitable move of almost four times the negative move the share price suffered. Nice little way to make some lemonade while avoiding the lemon!

But Dan doesn't focus in on just housing stocks. He also wrote up a Whiskey & Gunpowder article that pointed out the problems with Hansen, the hyped energy drink and soda company.

He said that intrepid readers should short Hansen. And they could've made as much as 27.4% in six days...

"27.4% in 6 days...Thanks, Dan!"

Many thanks for Dan Amoss' June 26 analysis and discussion of Hansen Natural. I felt the market was trending down, and the stock was inflated...Based on this and Dan's analysis, I shorted the stock Aug. 1 at $45.50 and covered the short sale [on Aug. 7] at $33.

Thanks so much!

— R. R.

Dan's got a knack for finding companies that sell for far more than what they're worth. So he decided to take his expertise in playing put options and shorting stocks to launch a small research service called Strategic Short Report.

And in just the few months that we've been publishing the service, Dan's readers have had the chance to see some nice gains...

Like the 173% that they could have made after Dan recommended put options on Systemax — an overly hyped online retailer of computer hardware and off-brand PCs...

The 97% they booked in a few short months with put options on TCF Financial — a troubled Midwestern mortgage-heavy bank...

Or the whopping 461% they could have made by following Dan's recommendation to buy and sell put options on Lehman Brothers!

All in all Dan's averaging 92% across all of his 16 closed positions. And that includes the rare losing play.

But what about open positions?

All five of his current open positions are positive. And he's sitting on an average gain of 58%.

No wonder his subscribers have written in to say:

I just sold 10 contracts of LESMH for $26.45 which I purchased for $4.47 for a total gain $21,980!! This is very exciting stuff...keep em coming like that if you can. I really appreciate your hard work, in depth research and thorough detailed coverage. Awesome trade Dan! You are the man!

— D. Y.

I just wanted to thank Dan Amoss for the Strategic Short Report letter. After recently closing out my second half of the Lehman put, I have a scored a personal rate of return of 342%!!!! This is in addition to the average of 72% so far on his other recommendations.

Thanks so much, Dan. This one newsletter has actually paid for my entire membership fee for the reserve membership.

If you are ever in Medford, Oregon. Look me up. Dinner is on me.

— P. B., MD

As a Lehman Alumni I was hesitant to put this one on... a cool $200,000 profit later I am a Strategic Short Report disciple!

Spectacular call on Lehman. Keep 'em coming

— Wil

  • 13 of 16 plays in 2008
  • 92% average gain over all plays, including losers

Dan's stellar performance was precisely the reason behind my recent decision to double the price of his research service.

Strategic Short Report subscribers used to pay $995 per year for Dan's research...

... But now they're paying $1,995.

As a Reserve Member, you pay nothing for life.

Gold & Options Trader:  How to Protect Your Wealth From
the Dollar's Coming Collapse. . . and Ride the Historic Gold
Bull Market for Obscene Profit Potential

You know that gold's been on an absolute tear over the last few years. In fact, it shot from $300 to its recent high of $1,033. That's a climb of 244%.

And the reasons behind gold's run-up seem obvious:

  • Rampant government money printing (especially in the U.S.)

  • Global strife boosts fear and uncertainty

  • Worldwide demand for real commodity wealth, not credit or phantom finance profits.

It's no wonder gold — the only trusted, true haven for wealth and future prosperity — has become more desired. And it will become only more dearer as the years pass.

This inescapable fact has led us to launch a new research service dedicated specifically to gold gains.

Now, members of many of our services have had the opportunity to take great gold gains. Specifically, readers of Outstanding Investments. And our options services Resource Trader Alert and Options Hotline have played many gold futures and stocks options for more speculative gains.

But the historic gold bull has compelled us to devote an entire newsletter to gold...it's titled the Gold & Options Trader.

Gold & Options Trader has two simple missions.

First, it seeks to show you gains on the best gold stocks in the world. You might get a recommendation on a junior mining company or a microcap exploration and production company.

And second, Gold & Options Trader will play options on gold stocks. That way you can apply leverage to normal moves in share price. This can give you a quicker, larger, more speculative winner.

You'll be profiting from gold's long trend upward, and simultaneously, learn how to hedge your portfolio against short-term corrections...

And we couldn't have found a better guy to man Gold & Options Trader than Ed Bugos. Ed comes straight from the Wall Street of the gold market — Vancouver's Howe Street.

During the nasty commodity bear market in the '90s, Ed still guided his clients to gold profits in Argentina Gold and Arequipa. The massive Barrick Gold ended up buying both companies.

He also founded the Bugos Gold Stock Index, which included no more than 10 stocks anytime. From Dec. 2001-May 2006, his index gained 200%, averaging 30% compounded annual gains.

And he's showing no signs of slowing down that incredible pace.

Normally, Gold & Options Trader subscribers pay $1,495 per year. As a Reserve Member, you pay nothing for life.

Income on Demand:  How to Generate Instant
Income From Stocks You Already Own

If you're like most readers, you probably want additional ways to generate regular work-free income...

And with the Agora Financial Reserve, Wayne Burritt's ready to show you how.

With over 28 years of experience navigating through the options market, Wayne's developed a little known option strategy that you could use too:

  • Safely and immediately boost your regular income — using stocks you already own
  • Generate "dividends" on demand from almost any stock
  • Significantly reduce your downside on stocks that are falling.

This option strategy is one of my personal favorites.

And even better — I've heard stories about readers who could have used similar strategies to generate up to $200,000 a month in extra work-free income.

For example, you could use this strategy right now to generate an immediate 16.8% "dividend" on demand from Apple.

With this one tiny, five-minute step you could buy 1,000 shares of Apple stock and demand an immediate $15,200 "dividend."

Most investors never use this strategy.

But you'll have the chance for "dividends" on demand with Wayne's soon-to-be-launched and tentatively titled Income on Demand.

When we launch Income on Demand later this month, subscribers most likely will have to pay $1,495 per year. As a Reserve Member, you pay nothing.

Master FX Options Trader:  The Easiest Way to Hop
Aboard The World's Largest and Fastest Money Train

So now you've seen how the Agora Financial Reserve could deliver you stunning option winners from just about any segment of the stock and commodity markets...

From short-term profits playing gold stock calls, to massive gains playing options on sugar contracts, to short side super leveraged profits playing put options, to income generation using safe option writing...

We've had Agora Financial Reserve Members covered.

But stocks and commodities are just the tip of the iceberg.

Hidden behind the daily gyrations of the stock market is a financial mammoth: the Foreign Exchange currency market.

Just under $4 trillion dollars a day switches hands in the FOREX markets.

That's 40 times bigger than the U.S. stock market.

And today marks your chance to hop on board this money train!

But before we go any further, please allow me to be very frank — currency trading isn't for everyone.

Currency traders talk an entirely different trading language... they stay up all night paying attention to overnight markets... and they have to be willing to trade four, five, even 10 times a day.

I suspect that that's not the type of life for you.

That's why we've spent the past five months perfecting a much easier currency options strategy that could let you make money from the FOREX market while still sleeping easy at night.

We're calling the service Master FX Options Trader.

Consider it the "everyday Joe's" way of getting your slice of the currency market pie.

Our analyst extraordinaire at the helm of this strategy, Bill Jenkins, has already shown his beta testers how to play Euro puts for 23% gains, British Pound calls for 33% gains and Pound calls again for 100% gains in just 24 hours!

All without ever having to learn the complicated terminology behind the FOREX market.

And the ease of the system is already showing — the glowing testimonials from beta testers have been pouring in:

Thanks for another great option call! I got my position on Wednesday at $3 even, per contract, and sold in the last 30 minutes of trading yesterday for $3.90.

30% in 48 hours - nice!

— J. M.

P.S.: I am interested in the FOREX spot market, but that takes some attention that I am not always able to give. The [FOREX] option trades have been easier to handle.

 

I sold the two Euro $129 puts at $3.80 for a profit of $208.00! Keep this option train going!

— P. G.

I made 27% on my first currency option trade. Even though I kept the size of this first transaction small to gauge your service, I made $325 which was a psychological boost in this current bear market.

— M. M.

When we launch Master FX Options Trader later this month, subscribers will most likely have to pay $1,495 per year. As a Reserve Member, you pay nothing.

As an Agora Financial Reserve Member, you'll receive the six option trading research services we just discussed for free. Added up, those six services are worth $8,970 per year.

You'll Get our "VIP" Stock Research Services, Too

So you've heard about how you can use our wide variety of speculative option plays to boost your wealth...

But what about the explosive stock gains that happen from mergers, buyouts, special dividends, spinoffs, and "special opportunity" stocks that are too small to recommend to tens of thousands of readers?

Well, we've got those covered, too.

As an Agora Financial Reserve Member you're guaranteed to receive these high-end, VIP "special opportunity" monthly stock research services:

Mayer's Special Situations:  Small Explosive
"Special Situation" Plays

Each month Agora Financial's managing editor, Chris Mayer, applies his due diligence to small "special situation" companies.

In this way, you can combine strictly lowered risk with speculative opportunities.

Chris sends these "safe speculations" out to a small circle of readers with his new research service, Mayer's Special Situations.

Let's take a quick snapshot of the two-year-old service's track record:

13 out of the 21 closed positions have gone up.

The average gain over those closed positions was 38%, including the losers.

Biggest gainers: 194% on T-3 Energy Services... 177% on Titan Intl....122% on Gorman-Rupp Co.... and 100% on Lindsay Manufacturing.

And, as far as open gains go, as of November 19 his readers are up:

  • 28% from a tiny pharmaceutical spin-off
  • 36% on a company that's helping China solve its water crisis
  • 54% on water pump manufacture.

This excellent short-term track record has made some of Mayer's Special Situations readers quite happy:

Your Libbey recommendation alone just paid for my Acapulco vacation. THANKS! :-) Your reports are very professional without being stuffy. I look forward to your e-mail!

— E. Culpepper

I joined the Agora Financial Reserve when it was very first launched.

I manage my own accounts and my father's very large IRA for him. I have purchased about 90% of the stocks you have recommended in MSS and couldn't be happier with the returns.

I love your strategy and reasons for picking a stock and plan to stick with you as long as possible. I only hope you stay for many years to come. I hate the thought of finding out you left to do something else.

Thanks so much for your excellent research and the great job you are doing. My experience with MSS has been exactly what I was hoping for when I joined the Reserve.

— Brad B.

Energy & Scarcity Investor:  How You Can Harness
"Slow Volcano Power" to Ride California's

Government-Mandated Green Power Boom

Byron King lives and breathes natural resources.

Each month his contacts and research come up with dozens of overlooked opportunities. Some of these finds make their way into the pages of Byron's Outstanding Investments. But the ones with the best profit potential are micro caps — just too speculative to send out to a wide audience.

That's why Byron launched an elite research service called Energy & Scarcity Investor, that taps into these tiny resource opportunities. For proof of the concept behind this new service, here are some previous winners in the realm of tiny resource stocks just like the ones Energy & Scarcity Investor focuses on:

  • 214% on Pan Orient Energy
  • 211% on Ur Energy
  • 1,062% on Virginia Mines
  • 958% on Seabridge Gold
  • 1,076% on Minefinders
  • 732% on Pan American Silver
  • 208% on Compass Minerals
  • 2,568% on Silvercorp
  • 700% on Almaden Resources
  • 450% on Antares Minerals
  • 1,258% on Bear Creek Mining
  • 4,500% on Brett Resources
  • 1,236% on Dynasty Metals
  • 2,860% on Denison Mines
  • 428% on Cirrus Energy
  • 1,376% on Enexco.

But now Byron has found an exciting discovery that could make those gains seem like small potatoes.

You see, California's Senate has mandated that the state must derive 20% of its electricity from renewable sources by December 2010.

Byron says that "Slow Volcano Power" is the renewable energy source best suited to provide California's huge population with electricity.

And he's recommended five of the smallest pure plays completely devoted to the little-known green energy source "Slow Volcano Power."

You can immediately get all the information you need on those five stellar "Slow Volcano Power" plays when you accept your Reserve invitation.

Breakthrough Technology Alert:
Thinking — and Profiting — Like a Venture Capitalist

Imagine buying into Microsoft at the venture capitalist stage... before it unveiled Windows. Imagine getting into Google on the bottom floor, with the first round of investors.

Those two companies' innovations changed the world, and Patrick Cox continually digs for the next revolutionary companies — the Googles and Microsofts of tomorrow.

Breakthrough Technology Alert uncovers the small, unknown companies on the verge of such transformational discoveries.

Patrick sniffs around like a true venture capitalist, scanning for the least-known opportunities before they take off, talking with their CEOs and drilling down the most exciting — and potentially, most profitable — opportunities.

In the past, we've taken gains like 371% on PowerChannel Inc., 288% on Cray Inc., 244% on Nuance Communications and 321% on Anatolia Minerals.

I am a new subscriber and I like the approach you take and the companies you follow. It's refreshing being out of the mainstream stocks with their massive float. Knock on wood - the investments I've made with your picks are beyond what I had hoped for...Again, thanks for your help and your insight into these companies.

— J. Parker

When I first subscribed I was not an experienced investor, but on the past four months' journey, [Breakthrough Technology Alert] has helped me to widen my exposure to different forms of investing. I'm also impressed with your due diligence on new stocks you recommend.

— M. Sorensen

Normally, Breakthrough Technology Alert subscribers pay $995 per year. As a Reserve Member, you pay nothing.

Once again, as an Agora Financial Reserve Member, you'll receive these three "VIP" Special Opportunities Stock Research services for free. Added up, those three services are worth $3,485 per year.

Your one-time Reserve entrance fee and miniscule annual maintenance fee will secure all of those stellar services for life.

And I repeat — you get a lifetime of super-profitable options recommendations as well for less than a one-year subscription at their regular price. That alone makes the Agora Financial Reserve a good bargain.

On top of all this, as a Reserve Member, you will receive a free lifetime subscription to each one of our five profitable research newsletters.

Newsletters for Free. . . for Life. . .

Your status as a Reserve Member will deliver you these benefits:

Outstanding Investments:
The #1 Ranked Newsletter Over THREE Five-Year Periods

Byron King's Outstanding Investments was independently rated by Mark Hulbert as the top-performing newsletter in the world.

That's an amazingly high honor, considering that as of last year Hulbert tracks 127 different investment newsletters.

Devoted to natural resource stocks since its inception, Outstanding Investments has delivered some gains that might make you bashful if you told anyone that you grabbed them...

And as you know, oil and oil related stocks have been on a huge tear lately. So have coal, steel, uranium, timber, shipping and natural gas companies. And readers of Outstanding Investments had a front-row seat for riding the global hunger for raw materials.

Like these recent winners: 182% from Talisman Energy, 332% from Glamis Gold, 118% on Anglo-American PLC, 174% on PetroChina, 147% on BG Group, 177% on Coeur d'Alene Mines, and 228% on Niko Resources.

Catching hold of the massive global energy bull, this year, Outstanding Investments has returned an average of 25% on its closed positions.

And this isn't a fluke, either. Last year, Outstanding Investments averaged 79% gains from its closed resource stock recommendations.

And as for open positions, we have 272% on Suncor, 194% on American Century Global Gold, 103% on Valero, and 143% on EnCana.

I almost "bailed out" awhile ago when gold and oil took a dip, but followed your recommendation and stayed with it. I'm up 28% with only your recommendations in my portfolio. Keep up the good work.

— W. Burger

You have to hand it to...Outstanding Investments. I have subscribed to many investment and trading services and dropped a lot of the poorly performing ones. But not RTA or OI...Perhaps a Nobel Prize for Resource Trading should be awarded.

— D. Davidson

2008 closed positions average including losers: 25%

Capital & Crisis:
36% From the Safest Stocks on the Street

Chris Mayer's unswerving devotion to conservative value investing has led him to recommend 29 out of 38 winners in Capital & Crisis. That's right — he's batting a nearly perfect 76%.

What's his secret? Simple. He'll buy a stock for only less than it's worth. And that seems to work just fine since — over the course of 38 closed recommendations — his positions gained 36% on average.

What about his open positions?

  • 44% on an Asian telecommunications company.
  • 12% on a leading manufacturer of welded steel pipes.

With Capital & Crisis, you can draw in some nice gains from the safest stocks on the Street...

Yes - very good gains, such as: Horizon — $4,109... Chiquita Brands — $5,400... Agrium - $5,900... Ameriprise - $6,100... Intrawest - $10,000. I am currently using the proceeds to build up the retirement fund. I think Capital & Crisis is the best investment advisory that I have either read about or used. My only recommendation — don't do anything different.

— W. McMillan

Chris, you're just about the best writer there is, a great analyst while still enjoyable to read. It's a treat for my retirement portfolio to watch your theories play out. I can't give you a specific number but it's approximately 20%, after investing 5K in each selection. I'm still recovering from the tech meltdown 2000-2002, thank you so much for helping to make it happen.

— D. Ricci

Penny Stock Fortunes:
Imagine Getting Rich

The largest, quickest gains on Wall Street usually come from the unknown and sometimes feared segment of stocks priced under $10...The infamous "penny stocks."

But, as Greg Guenthner, editor of Penny Stock Fortunes explains, "Some of the biggest names in Wall Street history, like Tweedy, Browne; Ben Graham and John Templeton made their massive fortunes in the penny stocks arena. You won't read much about these under-the-radar opportunities in The Wall Street Journal, Investor's Business Daily or Barron's."

But you will read about them in Penny Stock Fortunes.

Here are some past gains from closed-out Penny Stock Fortunes recommendations: 82% in only 48 days from First Cash Financial, 109% from Vallco Energy, and 103% from Forward Industries.

Normally, Penny Stock Fortunes subscribers pay $59 per year. As a Reserve Member, you pay nothing.

Easy Money Options:
How to Receive an MBA-style
Stock Option Education. . . for FREE

You've already seen how options can quickly bring your portfolio 100–500% profits...

But what if you've never used options before and don't know how to get started? I've got the perfect solution for you...

In Wayne Burritt's letter, Easy Money Options, he'll deliver you an options education that you can't get anywhere else.

Each month, he'll teach you an "inside tip." Then he'll simply and easily provide you with directions on how to take advantage of the best options plays on the market right now.

And although the service is just under a year old, I'm proud to announce that Wayne's already scored gains of 89% on Proctor & Gamble calls and an explosive 150% and 169% on S&P 500 Depository Receipts November 2008 puts.

Here's what his subscribers have already written in to say:

As a novice to the option world, you have taught me a good deal. All your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. In each issue you set out the topics to be covered and then show us step by step on how to research different options... most important of all the newsletters contained a wealth of information!

— D. L.

Easiest money I have ever made! Over 85% gains in just 5 trading days! You lay everything out and make it simple. I have tried other options services before, but they usually did not provide sell signals so you were left to the whims of the market and sometimes lost gains. I prefer your conservative approach to take gains off the table. Keep up the good work!

— Thanks,
G. S.

Today I sold the XLFXR for $1446.51 for a profit of $555.01. I sold SWGXQ for $2502.51 for a profit of $1599.01. So my profit in a week from these two transactions was $2154.02.

I am ever so grateful for your excellent recommendations!

— Yours truly
C. C.

Through this service, you'll quickly learn how fun and profitable stock options can be!

Lifetime Income Report:  How to Let the World's
Best Companies Fund Your Retirement

Imagine having one of the world's top companies fund your retirement even though you never worked for them a day in your life...

Now imagine that your retirement income isn't limited to just that one company.

You can have five, six, even 10 of the world's best companies pay you weekly checks.

Without working a single second for them.

How?

Buy buying shares in companies that have been proven to send out growing dividend payments.

And that's exactly what editor Jim Nelson will show you how to do in his new research service, the Lifetime Income Report.

Each month he'll focus on finding you the best income paying stock on the market. After a year, you could be receiving weekly checks of $2,243, $5,465, or $11,000. That's the best part. You decide how much you want to be paid.

When we launch Lifetime Income Report later this month, new subscribers will have to pay $99 per year. As a Reserve Member, it's yours FREE for life.

Added up, all five of Agora Financial's world-class, independent and profitable newsletters cost $455 per year.

But if you do what's best — by accepting this invitation to the Reserve — you'll get those newsletters for free for the rest of your life. As a Reserve Member, you'll save $455 per year from the newsletters alone. That comes out to $2,275 in savings every five years... and $4,550 saved over the next decade...

If you are serious and quick enough to be that one in a 100 that can enter the Reserve... if you decide to become a member in time, you will get all of those newsletters for free for life.

And since you're joining the Reserve before Jan. 1, you'll be entitled to one of the $1,500 "One-Time Dividend" checks that I'll FedEx out in mid-February.

But that's not nearly the last in the heap of benefits your Reserve status will confer upon you...

Introducing the Agora Financial Focus List:
Exclusively for Reserve Members

We've created something solely for Reserve Members that may be the most valuable benefit we've discussed yet... it's called the Agora Financial Focus List.

As you can see, Agora Financial publishes a steep deluge of investment ideas. Ideas that cover the entire spectrum of stock investment possibilities...from value investing to resources and hard assets to emerging technology companies to penny stocks...

You might be wondering: "That could end up being too many stock plays. If I don't want to go for all of them, how would I pick the best ones?"

We realize that it may be difficult to thoroughly go over and familiarize yourself with every single recommendation we offer you.

That's why each of our editors will handpick a small portion of their recommended stock plays to add to the Agora Financial Focus List. This portfolio will never have more than 20 stocks in it at one time, so it will be a breeze to use and understand.

The Focus List's recommendations will come from across all of the newsletters, directly from the editors themselves. Here's how it works:

Once per quarter, the editors will personally take a look at their contributions to the Focus List portfolio.

They will distill the absolute best stocks from their already superlative track records — and, essentially, manage a unique, world-class portfolio for a small group of elite Reserve Members. That's pretty remarkable, don't you think?

We've conservatively valued this unique benefit at $995 per year.

As a Reserve Member, you get the Focus List for free for life.

Announcing the Legacy Program. . . and
Your Free "Enduring Wealth Library"

We're not content to "merely" publish the most independent — and highly profitable — stock research newsletters and options services in the industry. Agora Financial has decided to jump right into the hitherto unknown world of book publishing.

You may know of The New York Times and Amazon.com best-sellers written by
long-time Agora Financial contributors like Chris Mayer, Bill Bonner, and me.

As a Reserve Member, you're entitled to copies of these books just after they're released... for free, of course.

All you do is give us a call or shoot us an e-mail and we'll FedEx you a copy.

As I said, you can find those books at any bookseller — but we'll send them to you FREE of charge. I call this series of books the "Enduring Wealth Library."

And there's one other special addition to this series. It's called Seeds of Wealth...

Seeds of Wealth is probably the most unique — and valuable — book I have seen come across my desk in my 18 years in financial publishing.

Seeds of Wealth is a wealth-building manual that helps you help your children become wealthy. Wealthy by their own efforts... It's actually quite easy for your child (or grandchild) to build a whopping $250,000 war chest by age 18 just with rigorous saving and the power of compound interest.

And as the Agora Financial editors and I thought about the benefits to your children and grandchildren that the Seeds of Wealth program can bestow, we came up with what could be the most powerful benefit to your Reserve Membership — the Agora Financial Legacy Program...

You Can Pass Your Reserve Membership on to
Any Family Member of Your Choice!

As the Agora Financial team put the last round of updates into the Seeds of Wealth program a flash of brilliance struck someone — "Hey, if we're trying to help future generations build a life of comfortable affluence with Seeds of Wealth, shouldn't we allow our Reserve Members to pass on their Reserve Member status to their children?"

We all agreed that it was a great idea. So we instituted the Agora Financial Legacy Program, which allows a Reserve Member to pass membership over to a family member.

Of course, that family member is entitled to free receipt of every single Reserve service, newsletter, conference, book, and special report that the Reserve ever publishes...

But there's plenty more to the Reserve Membership benefits than all of the newsletters, options services, the Enduring Wealth Library and Legacy Program. In fact, we've come to what may very well be my personal favorite part of the Reserve...

Only for Reserve Members:
Free Lifetime Enrollment in the Agora Financial
"World Travel to Profits" Program

We fully realize that some sophisticated and successful investors want to do more with their time than steadily and aggressively grow their wealth.

At Agora Financial, we strive to provide you with the most thorough independent research that you can get. This thoroughness leads us to travel around the globe to find the next explosive opportunity. And since we have footholds and affiliate offices around the world, we often travel abroad to visit the companies and countries we research.

After a while, we developed a love for travel itself, without regard to the value it adds to our research. So when we came together and created the Reserve, we wanted to share the value that international (and domestic) travel has, for its own sake...

Let me quickly explain...

Your Personal Invitation to the Annual
Agora Financial Reserve Summit. . .

As a Reserve Member, you will be exclusively invited to attend the yearly Summit meeting. The Summit is a private conference open only to Reserve Members.

Our editors will play host to you. They will speak to Reserve Members on the most exclusive of opportunities — those strictly limited to small groups. Intriguing, fun, and sometimes out-of-the-ordinary opportunities that can yield impressive gains.

And it's all included FREE with your Reserve Membership.

All you have to do is make it out to the Summit site and pay for lodging. We'll cover the conference, refreshments and meals.

In the past we've held our Reserve Summits in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia.

And future Summits could take place anywhere around the world where Agora Financial has a firm foothold — places like Paris; London; Waterford, Ireland; the Pacific coast of Nicaragua; Madrid; Melbourne; Milan; Johannesburg; Bonn; Baltimore; and Delray Beach, Fl.... or some other equally beautiful locale.

We conservatively value the Reserve Summit at $1,000 per year. As a Member, you get an exclusive invitation to each Reserve Summit every year, for free for life.

But, in addition to free admission to the Reserve-only Summit meetings, you will have free lifetime admission to Agora Financial Investment Symposium.

Here's Your Ever-Renewed and 100% Free Ticket to the
Annual Agora Financial Investment Symposium

You may know that the annual Agora Financial Investment Symposium takes place every summer in Vancouver...

It's always a superb time, held in the historic Fairmont Hotel right in middle of my favorite North American city's lush, gorgeous downtown district...

The Investment Symposium is a comfortable, intimate multi-day conference at which all the Agora Financial editors give speeches and workshops on their proprietary research on stocks and options. In addition to the stately roster of Agora Financial editors, we handpick affiliated experts to speak at each of these conferences.

In the past we've welcomed Steve Forbes, Bill Bonner, Jim Rogers and Doug Casey.

The Investment Symposium generally costs $899. But, as a Reserve Member, you get "Always free, Always VIP" access to our public event of the year.

Please keep reading, though: That's not the final benefit bundled into your free lifetime enrollment in the Agora Financial Reserve's "World Travel to Profits" program...

The most unique, under-the-radar travel/investment opportunity we know about, though, could be this one:

Only for Reserve Members: Your Guide to Utterly Exclusive, Ground-Floor Deals on Rock-Bottom Real Estate in Formerly Downtrodden South American Countries

As a Reserve Member, you have the unique ability to get in early on some truly amazing real estate deals in forgotten countries like Nicaragua.

If the Reserve had existed and you had been a member at the time of our affiliate's first foray into Nicaragua... this could have happened:

For next to nothing, you could have bought a sizeable chunk of land sitting right on the rocky bluffs and pink beaches of the Pacific coast of Nicaragua. You might have built a palatial Spanish-style house for less than a third of what it would cost in the U.S. You could have lived in that home. You could've used it as a vacation getaway. Or you could've bought multiple lots and built multiple homes to sell at some future date...

Yes, it's obvious that such opportunities aren't for everyone.

We know that buying international real estate isn't the most convenient way of taking some decent gains. But, we figured that a small group of elite individuals like the Reserve Members would want every possibility open to it, from the ordinary to the exotic.

And if the possible real estate deals in paradisiacal locales weren't enough, we come to the final benefit of the Reserve's "World Travel to Profits" program... this final benefit is so sensitive that even Reserve Members must meet certain requirements to obtain an invitation... but once those requirements are met, you can act like a venture capitalist and get in on this type of hush-hush, closed-door opportunities.

The total yearly value of enrollment in the Agora Financial "World Travel to Profits" program: at least $2,690 per year.

Your Benefits Added Up:
Save at Least $122,162

  • Lifetime subscriptions to all of our research newsletters...
    value: $455 per year

  • Lifetime membership to all of our "VIP" stock research services...
    value: $3,495 per year

  • Lifetime membership to all of our option trading services...
    value: $8,970 per year

  • Lifetime receipt of the Agora Financial Focus List portfolio ...
    value: $995 per year

  • Lifetime free enrollment in the "World Travel to Profits" program ...
    value: $2,690 per year

  • Free Lifetime subscriptions to every single research newsletter and options service that the Reserve is able to publish in the future...
    value: unknown, but massive.

  • The right to use the Legacy Program to pass your lifetime Reserve Membership to a member of your family...
    value: priceless.

So, as you can see, the total measurable yearly value of a Reserve Membership is $16,605. And that yearly value will increase at a steady rate as we launch new research newsletters and options services.

That means... five years of Reserve benefits is conservatively valued at $83,025... and a full decade of stellar profits, travel, and research is worth $166,050, at the very least.

That's why you might think I'm crazy to offer the Reserve for a one-time $10,000 price for a lifetime of membership.

That's a savings of $6,605 in the first year alone... and you receive almost everything Agora Financial publishes for free for life! Over the next decade, you'll save a whopping $156,050... but wait — because I'm not going to charge anywhere near $10,000 for you to join the Reserve.

Why You Really Ought to Act Right Now. . .

For this invitation to the Reserve, I'm doing something I've never done before...

I'm paying each new member that joins between now and Jan. 1 a "One-Time Dividend" check in the amount of $1,500 just for sticking with us.

All you have to do is agree to upgrade your account to Reserve status.

It's my way of saying thank you for sticking with us during these shaky times.

But it gets even better than that...

On top of this "One-Time Dividend" check, I've also decided to slash the price another 35%, to only $6,497.

That discount coupled with your one-time $1,500 "Dividend" check brings your bottom-line first-year cost way down to just $4,997!

That's a small one-time payment for you to receive such a lifetime of research and gains.

That's all you'll ever pay, except for a small annual maintenance fee of $149 to cover the ever-rising print and postage costs — conveniently charged directly to your credit card each year.

Without this small maintenance fee, we wouldn't be able to offer the Reserve at such a low price — a price that could save you at least $158,212 over the next decade.

Please remember, though, that this "One-Time Dividend" offer is strictly limited.

When we hit our 1% enrollment limit or when Jan. 1 rolls around — whichever comes first — you may never see this special offer again. In fact, you may never see another Reserve Membership at any price.

And this "One-Time Dividend" payout opportunity ends right at that point, too. So don't miss out...

If we offer Reserve Membership invitations again — and that's a pretty big "if" — the price could be $7,000 or higher. (The price may go even higher than that, depending upon how many new services we launch...)

So accept your "One-Time $1,500 Dividend" and respond to this invitation to make absolutely sure you can take advantage of the unique benefits reserved solely for Reserve Members.

After all, when we hit our 1%, we're going to carefully study how Reserve Members take advantage of the hush-hush and tiny, thinly traded opportunities open only to them. If we see that the Reserve's microscopic benefits can't handle any more exposure to serious investors, we will be forced to forever close the doors of the Reserve.

We'll simply have to shut it down, in that case, to protect the interests of Reserve members... so I recommend that you act immediately to ensure you grab your spot. And here's why you won't have a doubt about joining the Reserve right now:

Your Complete "Satisfied and Wealthy" Guarantee:
Get the Reserve Free for 30 Full Days

Since the Reserve is the most uniquely beneficial service that Agora Financial has ever unveiled, it also has the most unwavering guarantee.

You get one full month to decide if the Reserve fits your needs and profit targets. If not, you can get a complete refund. You heard that right: If you let 30 days pass and call us on that last day of the month, we will immediately and cheerfully refund 100% of your membership price, no questions asked.

You keep every service and newsletter we provide you with over that month... so we're essentially offering you a free 30 days of our best research, along with the travel Summits and other services closed off to non-Reserve Members.

Why the heck would we do something like that?

You see, we want to make absolutely sure each and every Reserve Member is 100% satisfied with the pinnacle of Agora Financial service.

We want you to read our newsletters and take respectable, market-pummeling gains from the stocks recommended therein. We want you to take monstrous, sometimes triple-digit gains in short time frames from our aggressively profitable options research services.

We want you to attend each and every one of our public conferences and Private Reserve Summits, to meet us personally and take advantage of the smaller hush-hush opportunities that can only be shared with small groups.

We want you to love — and profit from — the Reserve so much that you look forward to passing it onto your most loved family member through our Legacy Program.

If you're unsatisfied with even one aspect listed above, we don't want you to have to spent your hard-earned money on the Reserve.

That's why we insist on this guarantee that puts Agora Financial at considerable risk if you find yourself the least bit unsatisfied with the Reserve — because, after all, if the service is as good as we intend it to be, Agora Financial has no risk at all, because you'll be ecstatic with the benefits you derive from your Reserve Membership and you'll stay with us for the long haul.

As long as you stick with us after your 30-day trial, I'll send you your $1,500 "One-Time Dividend" come mid-February.

Why It Might Be Unwise to Wait
Until Midnight, Jan. 1. . .

I cannot stress this enough: We're going to close the Reserve Membership — and this special $1,500 "Dividend" check offer — (perhaps for good) at the stroke of midnight on Jan. 1, 2009.

But I'm firmly convinced that we'll be forced to cut off memberships long before then. That's because I'm personally convinced that we'll hit our limit of 1% of existing Agora Financial readers very quickly.

In fact, we might even hit that limit tomorrow. I hope that you don't get turned away when you click the link below.

So please — accept your "One-Time Dividend" payout of $1,500 by becoming an Agora Financial Reserve Member today.

Sincerely,

Addison Wiggin,
Executive publisher, Agora Financial

P.S.: A one-time fee of $6,497 is such an extraordinary price for all the great ideas we publish there's no way we could afford to keep this offer open for very long. And obviously, there must be a limit to how many free $1,500 "One-Time Dividend" payouts we make. That's why you need to respond by Jan. 1... or sooner... to claim your $1,500 check. If we hit the 1% figure anytime between now and then, we're going to close the doors immediately and you will have missed your shot at substantial savings on the highest level of service. Perhaps for good. So click below right away and claim your space as a Member of the Agora Financial Reserve.

Your Questions about Your $1,500 Check and the Reserve Invitation Answered Below. . .

Question: So is this a real check, one I can take to the bank and cash?

Answer: YES! If you become a Reserve Member, at 4 p.m. on Feb. 16, 2009 I will sign a check to be immediately FedExed right to your doorstep. It will contain a real $1,500 “One-Time Dividend” check signed by me, Addison Wiggin. This is a real check, made out personally to you, that you can cash at any bank. It is not a voucher, coupon, or discount. I repeat, it’s a real check that you can take to the bank and walk out with $1,500 in cold, hard cash!

Question: What if I’ve already spent considerable amounts of money on Agora Financial research? Can I get a refund for that research if I become a Reserve Member? And will I still get my $1,500 “One-Time Dividend” check if I’m entitled to such a refund?

Answer: If you have a presently active Agora Financial subscription to a service that’s included in the Reserve, you will get a refund on all of your remaining issues, up to $5,000, when you become a Reserve Member. So, if you have $500 remaining on your Options Hotline membership, for example, that $500 will be refunded back to your credit card when you join the Reserve. And yes, you will still get your $1,500 check, in addition to your full prorated refund credits.

If you have any questions about your potential credits – or any question at all regarding the Reserve – you can call John Wilkinson, Agora Financial’s Director of Trading Services at this toll-free number: 1-866-361-7662.

Question: The Reserve seems to contain A LOT of information. Can I pick and choose what services I’d like to regularly receive?

Answer: YES! You can call your personal Reserve Representative, Andrea Michinski, at any time and she can easily personalize your membership so that you receive only what you want to receive. What’s more, if you decide that you don’t want e-mail delivery of a certain service, you will always have access to everything on the private Reserve website, so you can read it all at your leisure. As a Reserve Member, you are always welcome to customized, personal customer service.

Question: What about any services that you will launch in the future? Will I be entitled to them as a Reserve Member?

Answer: YES! When we launch a new service that’s included in the Reserve, you will automatically receive it right when it launches. The only service not included in the Reserve that debuted in the past five years is Bulletin Board Elite. As an added benefit, as a Reserve Member, you can frequently choose to “beta-test” new research services long before they get released to the general public.

Question: How do I get my free Reserve access to the Agora Financial Investment Symposium?

Answer: In the months before each annual Symposium, you will receive a toll-free number via e-mail that you can call to claim your free $899-value ticket to the Symposium. This ticket also gets you into the private, Reserve-only events at the Symposium.

Question: Can anyone receive this $1,500 "One-Time Dividend?"

Answer: NO! Only existing Agora Financial readers, like you. Reserve Membership must be kept so low that we simply can’t accept everyone into the ranks. That’s why I respectfully ask that you don’t forward this invitation to anyone. Thank you.
