From MoneyWeek's Investment Expert Paul Hill...


The following is not intended as investment advice. Your capital is at risk when you invest in shares – you can lose some or all of your money, so never risk more than you can safely afford to lose. Figures in this promotion refer to the past and past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Always seek personal advice if you are unsure about the suitability of any investment.

It takes exhaustive research to find stocks that could double or triple within a short span of time - everything from balance sheet analysis, to attending industry conferences, to personal discussions with CEOs

I know because I do that legwork, 10 hours a day, six days a week.  That's how I find opportunities even the City's "superstar" fund managers miss, including these 3 'below-the-radar' companies
I believe could make you gains of up to 132%, 183% and 266% in the next year


(Note: These figures are forecasts and forecasts are not a reliable indicator of future results.)
 

Dear Investor,

I can’t play the piano….

I can’t write a novel, fix a car, or cook linguini...

In fact, I can honestly say I’m useless at all that stuff.

But one thing I can do is pick undervalued stocks with the potential to make huge gains.

My one big talent has already helped me gain the financial freedom I’ve always dreamed of... and I’m confident it could do the same for you too.

In the next few moments I’ll show you exactly how you could start beating the market.

But, first, a confession…

I’m not even thinking about helping you make money straight away.

Of course, I would like to. But anyone who promises to suddenly turn you into a stock market tycoon is either guilty of insider trading...or trying to rip you off.

I’m not planning to make you rich by this time next month - though some of my tips could make you notable short-term gains.

My aim is to help you make serious money in the medium to long term.

“The 9 shares I really think you should look into”

In front of me right now I have a list of what I believe will mature into 9 of the most profitable stockpicks of 2008 and 2009.

When I recommended my first stocks on 20th March 2006 until 9th July this year, the portfolio has achieved an absolute return of 20.6%* and the average gain per share is 7.0%.

In the 12 month period from 14th July 2007 to 13th July 2008 the overall average performance of shares sold is 28.4% and from 14th July 2006 to 13th July 2007 the overall average performance of shares sold is 36.1%

The FTSE All Share has fallen 9.3% since March 2006.. and the AIM Index is even worse, slumping 25.6% in the same period since the service began.  

But, to be honest, I wouldn’t be worried if the percentage rise was much lower.  After all, we all know that past performance isn't a reliable indicator of future performance.

More importantly, I don’t pick shares with the aim of making a quick buck. Short-term trading is too much like gambling. I think it’s a mug’s game.

My aim is to pick highly undervalued stocks with the potential to develop into seriously lucrative investments in the medium to long term.

I believe the shares in my portfolio really do have that potential. In fact I’m confident that investors who act right NOW could make gains of up to 132%, 183% and 266% in the next year just from investing in three of them!

(Note: These figures are forecasts and forecasts are not a reliable indicator of future results.)
 

What’s my secret? 

    Well it certainly isn't some mathematical wonder-formula... and I don't believe in any fancy computer software programs. My secret is straightforward: know everything!

    Obviously there will always be risks associated with investing in shares. But if you know all there is to know about a company - and you have the skills and experience to make sense of it all - then investing is much easier, much safer... and the results can be much more profitable.

    Before we go any further, I'd just like to remind you that your capital is at risk when investing in shares. You can lose some or all of your money. I advise that you never invest all your savings in shares, and that you have a balanced portfolio of low and high risk shares.

    But now let's turn to another key part of my strategy...

Let the research do the talking... not the hype! 

    My whole strategy is built upon understanding value. You see, during the course of my career I've worked on countless corporate acquisitions, mergers and takeovers... and that means I really know how to find the TRUE value of a company. In 2000, we saw some of the most ridiculously overvalued shares in the whole history of the stock market - nothing could have put me off more!

    I try to see a company for what it is, without hype or prejudice. So frankly, I don't care what type of industry a company is in, so long as it's a growing one, and offers good value.

My aim: HALF PRICE shares... or better! 

   And when I value a company at double what the share price reflects... I know I’ve found a half price share! I’ll tell you more about my valuation technique a little later. I’ll also explain how you can start receiving all my latest discoveries... without even having to lift a finger!

If you appreciate quality then this is the investment service for you. 

    I want to send you my very latest share tips, reports and investment advice... so that you have the best possible chance of making huge gains in the next 2 or 3 years.

    And, you can try my service for THREE months under no obligation so you can make an informed decision.

"How a quiet Sunday afternoon led me to a
massive triple-figure gain!"
 

    One of my most successful investments in recent years began on a quiet Sunday afternoon in late 2003.

    I was sitting at home with my wife reading the Sunday papers when I came across a tiny article about the potential of online services. What interested me in it was the concept of "virtual casinos” - websites where people can play poker on the internet with other players from all over the world.

   Now I know that these days most investors are aware of online gambling – and particularly the massive obstacles the industry faces in the US. But at the time, this article really struck me as new and exciting... So, much to the dismay of my wife, I tossed the newspapers aside and sped off to my desk...

"I started learning everything I could
about this industry..."
 

    I learnt how the business model works, which companies lead the market, what the overheads are, what the customers are like, how the technology works... I spoke to industry professionals, regulators, customers and software experts.

    Then I began to trawl through every company that could possibly benefit from this trend. Most were too expensive. Others were unstable, too deep in debt, badly managed, threatened by newer technology... it seemed as if hundreds were falling by the wayside. I feared I wouldn't find a decent investment here at all.

Then the search began to bear fruit... 

    One thing I discovered when researching the technology behind online gambling was that many different companies use generic 'behind the scenes' software to run their casinos. They buy the software ready-to-use, and sign support contracts with the software makers to keep it working smoothly. Then all they need to do is create a unique design for the look of the casino, gather some customers, and away they go.

    This software is custom-designed for the unique requirements of these businesses. It's extremely specialised as it needs to offer top-notch security as well as being super-fast and super-reliable when dealing with thousands of transactions every minute. That's why many businesses would rather take a solution off the shelf than make one themselves.

    I knew I was on to something good. If I could find a solid company in this sub-sector, I'd benefit from the whole trend rather than just backing a single horse!

    I began to search day and night, and soon enough...

One company emerged as a superb opportunity:
a firm 'in the engine room' of hundreds
of online casino companies!
 

    I had researched literally hundreds of companies... mostly dead ends. But now it was all worth it because I'd found the perfect company to exploit the internet casino revolution.

    Called Cryptologic, they had a fast growing customer base including massive players such as William Hill, Betfair, Littlewoods and Ritz... And every month more and more new customers were signing on, as entrepreneurs from all over the world scrambled to get a share of the internet gambling revolution.

Cryptologic was already at the heart of
hundreds of booming services...
 

    Cryptologic was in great shape for growth. I analysed their financials and their business plan... I spoke to management, to the software developers, and to clients. I discovered that the company was generating excellent cash flow, and had a very secure balance sheet. 

"Plus... I was thrilled to discover Cryptologic had
mouth-wateringly low P/E and PEG valuations..."
 

    But even better: At that time these shares were trading at around $7 each... when according to my calculations the business itself had an underlying value of $15 a share! What a bargain!

    I was now convinced Cryptologic was set to soar, and during the following 18 months I bought shares whenever the price was right, or when I was further encouraged by new developments.

"All the effort paid off handsomely as I banked a
huge gain of 132.3% - what a feeling!"
 

Ultimately, in 2005, I sold my entire position in Cryptologic. And since the US Senate has declared war on online gambling, I would strongly advise you to steer clear of this sector for the near future.

But the good news for you is that I'm still unearthing companies with vast potential in a whole range of other areas.

Imagine how good you'd feel banking massive gains from companies your friends have never heard of...

    My methods have helped me unearth many shares like Cryptologic... shares that the big research houses (and most private investors) ignore.

    I spend a great deal of time investigating markets and trends - nationally, internationally and globally. But once I'm evaluating a particular company, I use the same rigorous procedure...

    Here's a diagram which illustates the depth of my reseach into potential new investments.

The Three-Stage Secret Behind my Investment Success

 

   "I cover every level obsessively - the harder the information is to get, the more I'm encouraged because it throws other investors off the scent..."

 I look at hundreds of shares a month. I begin at the 'surface level' - the vast majority of companies don't get past here. If I'm encouraged I move to the 'expert level'... if I don't find any problems, I move to the 'hidden level' and try to uncover every shred of information possible.


"Let me do the hard work..."

    I leave no stone unturned with this approach. As far as possible, I try to put myself in the shoes of the chairman of the company before I buy a single share. I try to anticipate what concerns he might have, what opportunities he could see, and how positive he would feel. Often I end up working 60 hours a week, sometimes more, making sure I uncover every detail about every company I invest in.

    So overall... what am I really looking for?

    Perhaps you've heard of the 'GARP' approach to investing? It means "growth at a reasonable price"...

    Well I have a slightly different version:


GARBP = Growth at ROCK BOTTOM prices!

I look for highly undervalued stocks with great potential. Most are still off the radar of the big institutions, or involved in a business that is currently poorly understood by mainstream investors.  


Are you interested in making gains of 132%, 183% and 266%?

There are 8 shares in the PGI portfolio that I believe could make you gains of 100% or more.

Here are just three of them:

  • The UK company that specialises in supplying radio and satellite equipment for both the TV and security sectors. I believe this global leader could make you 132% by the end of this year.
  • The high-tech company that is at the helm of an estimated €700m industry.  I believe it could make early investors 183% by December 2010.
  • The UK stock that’s perfectly placed to benefit from the EU’s campaign to tackle ‘e-waste’  I believe it could make you 266% by June 2010.


(Note: The above figures are forecasts and forecasts are not a reliable indicator of future performance.)

   But before we go any further, I'm sure you have a few questions, so I've tried to anticipate what they might be, and answer them below:

 

Q - "What guarantees can you offer me?"

    Of course, no one can guarantee success in the markets. If someone offers you this, run a mile! There are always risks involved when investing in shares, and you should never invest more than you can safely afford to lose.

    All I can provide is what I believe is the very best defence against that uncertainty: meticulous research.

    By knowing as much as possible about the companies I recommend, and by obsessively monitoring every new development, I will be doing just about as much as anyone can to combat the inherent uncertainty of the stock market.

    And since I like to practice what I preach, you can take comfort in the fact that I will be investing in many of the shares alongside you.

    What I can definitely promise you though, is all your subscription money back if, for any reason, you wish to cancel during the first 3 months.

Q - "What type of shares will you recommend?"

    I will recommend undervalued shares in companies with strong growth potential.

    Quite often, these will be small to medium sized companies. However, they could also be large multinationals, or small caps, it all depends on the circumstances. I make no rigid rules in terms of company size, but I will always explain any associated benefits/pitfalls to you in my recommendations.

    I should warn you that small company shares can be relatively illiquid and, as a result, hard to trade. There can also be a big difference between the buying and selling prices.  That means if you need to sell them soon after you have bought them, you may get back less than you paid. This makes such shares more risky than large cap shares and other investments. I will remind you of this added risk if I recommend a small-cap share.

    In terms of location, I won't be tipping anything too far afield. All the companies I recommend will be listed on the LSE, or a major Western stock exchange.

    Where I recommend shares listed on one of these major Western exchanges you may have to purchase the shares in currencies other than Sterling. In these cases fluctuations in the rates of exchange between currencies may cause your investment or the income from it to increase or decrease.

    As I mentioned earlier, unless there is good evidence in the research I won't be prejudiced against any particular industry.

    My investing success is based on remaining unbiased and letting the research guide my decisions. This has led me to some unbelievable profit opportunities, and my aim now is to use the same method to guide you to some equally profitable investments.

Q - "How long will I have to wait to see results?"

    This depends on the particular stock. Some companies we invest in may rocket up within a few months. But the majority will be medium to long term investments which we will hold for between one and three years. In some cases, if the share is growing steadily and there is no reason to sell, we could hold for five years or more. I always try to treat every share on its own merits, that's why there is no simple answer to this question.

    Of course, it is also possible that a recommendation of mine could go down, or under-perform. This is always a possibility when investing in shares. I will monitor all the recommendations I make with great care, and will alert you at the earliest moment possible should it be necessary to sell.

Q - "Do you use any technical systems?"

    In my experience, high quality in-depth research is the best way to make consistent gains from equities. In my opinion, most technical systems are nonsense. Any system will be right some of the time but my 'system' of 3-level research has been bringing in gains consistently year after year.

    I don't believe in mysterious deeper hidden patterns, and I don't believe that everything always repeats itself. The world and the markets are complicated and fraught with uncertainty. Things will change. Unexpected things will happen. The only way to deal with this is to do the homework.

Q - "What will you send me?"

   You will receive my meticulously researched stock tips, regular updates and specific investment advice. All backed by my proven methodology and extensive financial analysis.

 Each week I will email you with all the latest portfolio news, and often a new, fully detailed recommendation. I will explain all the most recent events affecting our open positions, and spell out any specific action I advise. Usually this email will be sent to you on a Thursday evening. However, if we need to buy or sell urgently I will, of course, email you immediately.

Over the course of each month you will typically receive between 1 and 3 tips - sometimes more when particular opportunities arise. 

I believe it should be everything you need to build a portfolio of potentially wealth-building investments.

Q - "If you're so successful, why would you want to share your investment ideas with me?"

    Well, let me ask you to put yourself in my shoes for a moment. I've been an active private investor for more than 15 years. I have masses of successful business experience, and a fantastic investing track record...

    Offering this service now adds an exciting and fresh new dimension to my career. I get to write about my interests - something that has always appealed to me. And, I get to offer what I believe is a rare and extremely valuable service - something that definitely increases the satisfaction I get from my work.

    Plus I do much of this research for myself anyway. Most of my income comes from the markets - it's what I do all week, and it's how I primarily support my family. Without this service, I would still work 60+ hours a week studying every detail of hundreds of shares, visit factories, talk to managers, attend trade conferences, etc...

    I hope that answers some of your questions. Now here's what I'd like to offer you:


"Try my service for 3 months with no obligation... if you don't
make money simply cancel for a full refund on your subscription!"

    I should say now that the level of dedication I am offering, and the quality of the investment advice I believe I supply, does not come cheaply.

    Remember what I said earlier, my tips are extremely valuable... I work long hours every day - week in, week out - strictly analysing company after company... trying to isolate the best placed undervalued stocks available.

    Once I recommend a share, I watch everything that could affect it - everything - every single day, Saturday, Sunday, round the clock, you name it!

    Unlike other services, I'm not going to offer you any gimmicky 'free gifts' or 'bonuses' to try and tempt or bribe you onto this service... what I'm offering is a great deal on its own.


"I'm a no-nonsense person and I offer a
no-nonsense service..."

    If you join me, you'll be sent specific share tips and ongoing investing advice backed by the most exhaustive level of research imaginable.

    I will watch the shares we buy like a hawk - re-evaluating our decisions daily. I will alert you to the slightest concern, advise you about every development that affects us, and we will time our buys and sells as perfectly as possible.

    In other words, I will help you to invest with real confidence.


"I have the very same aim for myself as I do for you:
maximise our profits and minimise our risk..."

    I'm inviting you to join my elite investment service, Precision Guided Investments, where you'll receive privileged access to what I believe are some of the very best share recommendations imaginable.


This opportunity is not for everyone... but if you're serious
about successful investing then I urge you to join now...

    A full service stock broker (or portfolio manager) will charge up to 5% commission, plus initial start-up fees, annual membership fees, and various administrative fees. And most require you to invest a minimum of £100,000.
 
    You could end up paying over £10,000 a year to one of these brokers and many of them barely beat the market average.

    I can offer you something similar, but in my opinion, far better, and not nearly as expensive.

    The only difference is: you do the actual buying and selling yourself through an execution-only broker (who typically only charge about £10-£15 per trade in commission). But I'll supply you with my detailed and specific share tips and full instructions. I'll work out all the timings, and carefully monitor all our positions. It's certainly a far more economical way of doing things, and you remain fully in control of your money.


Plus I’d like to give you a 10% discount...

    If you sign up by direct debit today I’ll give you my full service - all my most exciting share recommendations sent to you via weekly email bulletins and an in-depth monthly newsletter – for just £168.50 per quarter by direct debit... a saving of 10% off the normal price. Alternatively, you can pay £749 a year by credit card. 


"Test-drive my full service FOR THREE WHOLE MONTHS under
my unconditional subscription money-back promise!"


    Take every report I send you, every email alert, all my detailed share tips and investing advice, for three whole months... Get full use from the service, paper trade, whatever you wish...

    If during this period, for any reason at all, you decide not to continue, simply call or email and you will receive a 100% refund on your subscription right away - no questions asked.

    However, I strongly believe that your portfolio will be showing strong growth within this 3 months...

    I'm confident that you'll be convinced of my skills by this time, and that staying on board will simply prove the better financial decision.


Take the 3 month trial and you could make gains of up to 132%, 183% and 266% in the next year

* The "Absolute % gain" takes into account the length of time (no. of days) that each share has been held in the portfolio, and adjusts the % return for the relevant time period. For example, if a share makes a 20% gain in 2 months, then that is worth more to you than a share that makes the same gain over 12 months (six times longer). The "Absolute % gain" figure takes this into account.

Your capital is at risk when you invest in shares – you can lose some or all of your money, so never risk more than you can afford to lose. Shares recommended in Precision Guided Investments may be small company shares. These can be relatively illiquid and hard to trade making them riskier than other investments. Some may be denominated in a currency other than sterling. The return from these may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations. Figures in PGI’s portfolio are calculated using the closing mid-prices on the date on which shares are first recommended, they do not take into account subsequent re-recommendations at a different price. All gains are gross. In the 12 month period from 14 July 2007 to 13 July 2008 the overall average performance of shares sold is 28.4%. In that period Paul Hill has recommended subscribers sell 11 shares from the portfolio, of which 7 produced gains: 39.97%, 38.70%, 55.20%, 9.60%, 110.50%, 32.20% and 49.30% and 3 closed out at a loss of -23.80%, -7.80% and - 19.50%. In the 12 month period from 14th July 2006 to 13th July 2007 the overall average performance of shares sold is 36.1%. The overall average performance of the shares open and sold from when the service began on 20th March 2006 to 9 July 2008 is 20.6%. A full portfolio is available on request.
