Dear Newsmax and MoneyNews Reader,

Will 2006 be the best of times or the worst of times for investors?

Frankly, we don’t know. We don’t look into crystal balls. We do, however, look very seriously at trends—locked-in, unstoppable trends that produce one monster profit wave after another. We carefully examine these kinds of trends because we believe they will directly impact your portfolio in 2006. In fact, some of them are already doing just that.

Key trends affect specific sectors. Understanding those trends and their impact on certain market sectors will help you regularly beat the market—and most other investors—year after year.

In our latest issue of Financial Intelligence Report (FIR), we reveal—and analyze the five powerful trends of the coming year—and the effect they will have on you and your portfolio.

Since launching FIR, we have had a remarkable record of success understanding trends and piggybacking our investment recommendations on them. 

We continue to have great success across a diversified spectrum of investments. Our 2004 investment recommendations are up 46% on average compared to just 15% for the S&P. Okay, so what have we done lately, you ask?  Our 2005 investments have risen an average of 22% compared to just 6% for the S&P. Not bad.

Our success has nothing to do with luck or a “crystal ball.”  We just believe in understanding trends, and riding the right ones at the right time—avoiding the imposters along the way—and then acting on our intelligence to know when it’s time to step aside.  

But it’s not that easy for the average investor to accomplish on their own. You need to have a source you can rely on.

We Help You Make Sense of the Avalanche of Information.

One of the reasons FIR has been so successful at finding the truth and revealing it: We don’t have vested interests.

All of the major financial TV shows and publications are dependent on advertising from both major corporations and financial firms, which benefit from a bull market.  These businesses will no doubt penalize media outlets that offer bearish perspectives.

FIR strives to offer a “distance” in its contrarian financial analysis. We think our contrarian outlook is wise as long as it is based on facts—not a religion of negativity. Some call FIR a “doom and gloom” publication.  We absolutely disagree, and must point out that we have been bullish on many investment sectors.

Today we feel that there are some worrisome signs indicating future economic woes for the U.S. And we didn't come to that conclusion quickly. For instance our longtime readers know it took us some time to become bearish on real estate. In 2004 we recommended several REIT’s that investors could benefit from.

At that time several “doom and gloom” newsletters were predicting a radical real estate-inspired depression. But we didn’t buy into that scenario.  As 2005 unfolded, it was clear to us that the real estate bubble was indeed set to pop, and we advised investors to sell their REIT’s for a tidy profit. Those included Catellus Development +66%, Tanger Factory Outlets +50% and Parkway Properties +33%.

A Bearish Year Ahead … But a Few Sectors Will Soar.

At FIR we find it difficult to believe that with continued high energy prices, higher interest rates, and a cooling housing market that the Dow or other major stock market averages are likely to finish up in 2006. In fact, we see them falling below last year’s close. 

A year ago in our January 2005 issue “2005: Bush’s Boomlet” we predicted fairly accurately that 2005 would bring a pretty good market. In fact, just days after the year ended, the Dow hit a record 11,000.  And it would have done even better had energy prices not remained so high. 

We did warn investors in that very same issue--and quite correctly I might add--to avoid certain investments, such as junk bond funds, major U.S. airlines, and American auto manufacturers. You only had to glance at news headlines throughout the year to discover our advice was dead-on.

So yes, we are bearish this year but feel investors can reap better rewards outside the overall equity markets. We feel investors should piggyback their investment choices on global trends like the 5 powerful ones detailed in our brand-new issue.
