Wisconsin Paper Mill
Dear Reader, For most people, August 7, 2006 was a day just like any other. But for 55-year-old Ron Hanson, it was a morning he’ll never forget. While most of us were preparing our morning coffee, Hanson (a Madison, Wisconsin native who spent most of his career in the paper industry), was cashing a check worth $18,850, according to U.S. Gov’t. records. That’s more than most Americans earn in several months. Incredibly... Hanson was not the only one pocketing an enormous payment that day—nor did he collect the largest check. Government records report:
Why are these men receiving so much money? In short, thanks to several U.S. government programs spearheaded by a lifelong Presidential Advisor and State Governor named Gifford Pinchot, you can now collect tremendous amounts of income, every single month of the year, without doing any extra work. Called the “Pinchot Retirement Plan” by many participants, this program is perfect for retirees, folks who want to retire soon, or anyone who wants more money deposited into their bank account on a regular basis...
Other mainstream news sources are also catching on. The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Barron’s have all reported on this opportunity in the last few months. After more than a decade of working in the financial industry, I can tell you without hesitation that the “Pinchot Retirement Plan” is your best bet to make sure you don’t run out of money. For example... You
could have collected $63,934 in If you were participating in the “Pinchot Retirement Plan” over the past two years, you would have received 48 dividend checks during that time (that’s about one every other week). As I’ll show you, these checks could have easily totaled $63,934 or more. That’s an extra $2,664 per month.
And what’s remarkable about this plan is that at the same time, your assets grow every single day of the year—that’s on top of your dividend payments! I’ve put together a chart (to the right), which shows the “Pinchot Retirement Plan” payment schedule over the next 12 months. But before I give you the details on how to get started, I’d like to show you exactly how this Plan works, so you can decide if it’s something you want to consider. Here’s the full story... The Man Who The “Pinchot Retirement Plan” is named after a long-time U.S. government employee (and former governor of Pennsylvania), named Gifford Pinchot. If you’ve never heard of Pinchot, you’re not alone. He was an expert in the obscure but very lucrative profession of land management. Mostly self-taught from a very young age—then schooled in France and Switzerland by geological and forestry scientists—Pinchot got his first big break when he was hired to manage George Vanderbilt’s 7,000-acre Biltmore estate in North Carolina. When Pinchot took over the property, it was a mess. Fires, clear-cutting, construction, and erosion had taken their toll. But Pinchot knew the rich natural resources (which included lumber, coal, and water) could provide profits indefinitely... if they were properly cared for.
Pinchot applied the scientific forestry techniques he learned overseas. In short order, the Vanderbilt estate was making money for the first time ever. Vanderbilt was so impressed he set up an exhibit at the Chicago World’s Fair to demonstrate Pinchot’s model for land use. Having established a reputation, Pinchot opened a New York office, to show wealthy Eastern landowners how to profit from their land. He made a fortune... Pinchot bought a 148-foot, three-masted topsail schooner, complete with cabins and staterooms for a 12-man crew. He and his family lived in a mansion called Grey Towers, in Milford, Pennsylvania. The property, which is now a National Historic Site, is a giant bluestone manor with three 60-foot turrets, 23 fireplaces, and 44 rooms.
Pinchot was hired by the Department by the Interior, then ran the Division of Forestry. In his first year, Pinchot instructed owners of more than 400,000 acres of private woodlands how to best care for and profit from their land. In short, Pinchot devised laws and strategies that were good for the environment... and good for the economy. He helped many men get rich... and he made sure the natural resources would be around for generations to come. But what does Pinchot’s work have to do with you and your retirement? It’s a remarkable situation. Let me explain... What is the “Pinchot Today, there are 6 “Pinchot Plan” companies listed on the stock market. They follow the “Pinchot Model” for land use and development. These operations, as you’ll see, are not at all like regular businesses. Instead, they simply manage tens of millions of acres of land. They sell timber, mining rights, manufactured products (like plywood and fiberboard), real estate (to developers and conservationists)... and rent their land to hunters, campers and farmers. Another thing that makes these Pinchot companies different from regular businesses is that, thanks to Sections 856-860 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, they pay no corporate taxes on the Federal level.
Yet another important difference between these operations and ordinary stocks is that they are not nearly as susceptible to the ups and downs of the economy as regular businesses.
If it’s not a good time to sell land and timber, they simply wait. It’s a luxury very few businesses have. What’s incredible is that these “Pinchot Plan” companies are a heck of a lot safer, and far more profitable, than ordinary stocks. (See the chart on the right.) Let me show you one example of what I mean... How some Americans turned About 20 years ago, a group of businessmen from Seattle established a land-management business, using the model Gifford Pinchot developed for George Vanderbilt and other wealthy East Coast families. These men from Seattle started with 1.4 million acres of land in the Northwestern U.S., which they bought from a Montana lumberman and a defunct railroad. The men from Seattle called their business “Plum Creek,” after a river on their property. Over the next few years, the Plum Creek men added hundreds of thousands of acres to their holdings in Maine, Arkansas, Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina, New Hampshire, and Michigan, just to name a few. In fact, Plum Creek is now the largest private landowner in America—8.2 million acres in 18 states. And today, using many of the techniques first developed by Gifford Pinchot, the fellows running Plum Creek make an absolute fortune, year after year. According to the company’s most recent annual report:
The point is, Plum Creek is a cash cow. In 2000 they made $598 million. They’ve increased profits every year since then, and made $1.5 billion last year. And Plum Creek has been making shareholders a killing in dividends and overall gains ever since it went public:
In other words, if you simply invested $10,000 with Plum Creek when they started their business in 1989, you’d now have close to a million dollars. The beauty of this operation is that it’s set up to run this way indefinitely. Each year, Plum Creek simply sells just a tiny portion of their assets. And they buy more when prices are low.
Why would you want to own a regular stock, when you could own an operation like Plum Creek instead, which is safer, pays bigger dividends, and grows its assets, without fail, every single year? And think about it this way: When you become a shareholder in Plum Creek, you no longer have to worry about how the economy is going to affect your money. You don’t have to worry about the war in the Middle East or the “War on Terror.” The trees and land don’t care. The trees keep growing every single year. It’s a fact of life. And the land keeps getting more expensive (see the chart below).
That’s why Plum Creek is a perfect place to put your money for retirement. You get paid a large dividend 4 times a year, and you can simply sit back worry-free, and watch the value of your investment go up over time. This is as good as it gets in the investment world—a safe and conservative way to earn lots of income, as you watch your wealth multiply over time. As I mentioned, there are 5 other Pinchot Plan companies on the stock market that are similar to Plum Creek. In fact, the five others (which includes one operation in Canada), are even more profitable than Plum Creek. Have a look at what I mean:
As you can see, I’ve given you only a very short summary here. Just keep in mind that each of these operations works very much the same way...
They own tremendous tracts of land. And they sell hundreds of millions of dollars worth of timber and manufactured products each year. They sell land to conservationists, mining companies, and developers when the price is right. They pay you huge dividends every single year (required by law), and your original investment keeps growing.
But don’t simply rush out and call your stock broker. Investing in Pinchot Plan companies is a little different from ordinary stocks. There are a few secrets you need to know about buying these companies to ensure that you get the best deal, and the most dividend income possible. I’ll give you more details in a second. The good news is, you can invest in each of these companies, beginning with as little as $50, no matter where you live, and through any regular stockbroker. If you simply bundle these six companies together, you would make a tremendous amount of money from the dividends alone. Over the past two years, in fact, you would have received 48 dividend checks, sent to your house or bank account.
That’s an extra $2,664... every single month! And remember, one Pinchot Plan company recently paid a one-day dividend of $7.54 per share. Another paid a one-day dividend of $15.15 per share. If you owned 1,000 shares, you would have collected a one-day payment of $15,150. When was the last time one of your stocks did that? Of course, the value of these investments will likely go up every year (sometimes by several hundred percent). So not only do you get great income... your original investment just keeps multiplying over time. That’s the Pinchot Retirement Plan. I believe it’s safer and considerably more profitable than regular stocks. And all the independent research I’ve seen says the same... The Hancock Financial Group, for example, says the Pinchot Plan has beaten stocks for the past 35 years. Barron’s says “The Pinchot Plan” has beaten stocks by about 480% over the last century.
As I mentioned, one of the big reasons why these unique investments pay out so much more than regular stocks is because, unlike regular stocks, they pay no Federal taxes at the corporate level. Because of this benefit, they’re able to pass on as much as 90% of their income to regular investors (that’s you and me). It simply doesn't get any better than this in the investment world if you are looking for more income, and a super-safe way to grow your wealth year after year. If you want to pursue this idea further, I’d like to send you a free Research Report that explains everything you need to know. Let me show you how to get started right away... How “The Pinchot Plan” can My name is Dr. Steve Sjuggerud. It’s a Norwegian name (pronounced “sugar-rude”), although I was born and raised in the United States. I spent the first half of my investment career working at big Wall Street institutions. Right out of college, I got a job as a stockbroker. I learned pretty quickly that a broker’s main job isn’t to help his clients make money... but to simply get more clients. My next job was working for a global mutual fund. I was promoted to Vice President, in charge of running a $50 million international fund. It turns out this job involved a lot of sales too. I had to spend several hours each day trying to sell the fund to potential investors. Then I worked for two different billion-dollar hedge funds, and earned my PhD in Finance. I learned a lot in these positions, but I realized the hedge fund world still meant a lot of schmoozing, selling, and meetings... the part of the investment business I want to avoid. So about 5 years ago I left all that behind, and started True Wealth, my own private advisory for retirees and people who want to retire soon. In that short time, we’ve grown to become one of the top 3 investment letters in America. We have readers in more than 125 countries. I think we’ve done so well because month after month, my goal is to simply show you safe and profitable investment strategies you won’t hear about anywhere else. I’ve been looking at what we call the Pinchot Retirement Plan very closely over the past few years. What I’ve found is that it is one of the safest and most lucrative investments in the world right now.
This Research Report explains exactly how these investments work. It explains how and when you’ll receive your dividend checks... how much you will collect... and most importantly, how to make these 6 investments right away through almost any regular broker. You see, I believe most people take way too much risk when they invest their money. My goal is to show you much safer opportunities — where you can make a small fortune at the same time. My passion is investment research... finding great investments no one else is talking about. To find new and profitable ideas, I make more than a dozen research trips every year all over the world. In recent months, for example, I’ve traveled to Tennessee, Vancouver, New York, Baltimore, California... plus overseas to Switzerland, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and China. The only reason I travel to these places is to talk to smart investors and to investigate new ideas. I now spend all of my time doing what I love — research. I don’t have to schmooze... or entertain clients... or sit in board meetings, like I did when I worked in the world of institutional investing. Now I simply find great investment opportunities... and invite people like you to have a look at my research. If it works, you’ll probably keep reading... if not, you can simply cancel, and can even get your money back.
What I’ve found after working with literally hundreds of thousands of retirees (and people looking to retire) is that most people simply don’t realize there are safer and more profitable investments than ordinary stocks, bonds, and real estate. Of course, the Pinchot Plan isn’t the only thing I’ve been researching recently. Here’s another good opportunity I’ve found, which most investors have never considered. It’s another great way to have more money for retirement... Another Secret Way to Have Have you ever heard of Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs)? Basically, MLPs are businesses that trade just like ordinary stocks—but can pay much, much bigger and steadier returns.
As MSN Money recently wrote: “If you’ve never heard of MLPs, join the club. This little cash-cow-that-could gets lost in the shuffle...” In short, an MLP is just a different way to structure a corporate business. As you’ll see, it has huge advantages for business owners and you as a shareholder. MLPs were started in the mid-1980s, when the U.S. government was looking to give big tax incentives to certain companies vital to the economy—like those that produce gas, oil, lumber, and other commodities. So the government agreed to make about 70 businesses exempt from federal taxes—as long as they agreed to pay out nearly all of their profits to shareholders (you and me), typically in the form of monthly dividends. Businesses love being structured as MLPs, because they get huge tax breaks. You’ll love MLPs because they allow you to collect enough income to live an upper-class lifestyle, even if you are no longer working. Why should you consider investing in MLPs? Because the returns are just extraordinary...
As I mentioned, there are about 70 tax-free MLPs on the market today. What’s nice is that you can buy and sell them, just like ordinary stocks. I expect you’ll make at least 12% to 14% in dividends every year for the next three years with MLPs... and I believe we’ll make considerably more as the price of MLPs skyrockets during that time. You see, MLPs are one of the best places in the world to collect reliable income right now... and with more and more Baby Boomers retiring every year, people are flocking to income investments. Best of all, there’s now an easy way for you to own all of the great MLPs with a single investment. You can buy and hold it for the next 5 years and beyond... and make tremendous, super-safe gains. When you take a trial subscription to my True Wealth advisory service, I’ll send you, free of charge, my new report called: MLPs—A Great Way to Supplement Your Retirement Income. In this new Research Report, I’ll show you which MLPs to buy if you want to own them individually... I’ll explain the tax advantages... and I’ll show you how to own all of the best MLPs with a single investment. Is this type of unique investment right for you? You’ll have to decide for yourself. But I guarantee it’s much safer and more profitable than ordinary stocks and bonds right now. And if you are looking for more money for retirement... or if you simply want more income every month, this could be the perfect fit.
I guarantee you will learn about unique opportunities that you won’t hear about anywhere else. For example, as soon as you become a subscriber, you’ll also learn about two of my other favorite investment strategies right now: Stocks that are guaranteed Did you know there’s an investment that gives you all the upside of stocks... but guarantees you won’t lose money if stocks go down?
This investment was created by Merrill Lynch, and it’s called a MITTS (Market Index Target Term Security). Sounds confusing, I know, but it’s really simple. You can buy and sell MITTS just like ordinary stocks, for around $10 a share. When stocks go up, you get all the gains. But when stocks drop, the worst you can do is get back your original $10 per share. MITTS are perfect for money you want to invest in stocks... but simply can’t afford to lose.
My Investment Report called MITTS — The Upside of Stocks without the Downside Risks, comes free with your True Wealth Subscription. I’ll show you exactly how to buy and sell MITTS, and which three offer you the best deal right now. Or how about this opportunity few Americans have ever heard of... The 11.6% Government Bond Did you know there’s a regular government bond that is now paying 11.6% interest per year? If you take advantage of this situation now, you may be able to lock in these huge gains for the next decade and beyond.
Plus, it gets even better — the value of this super-safe bond is likely to skyrocket over the next few years as investors rush in to get this great rate. That means you’ll make even more money — I predict 30% gains a year for at least the next three years. All from an ordinary government bond! This is one of the truly great secrets of the financial world. In fact, the only other people I’ve ever seen write about it were the folks at Forbes Magazine, in their July 2005 issue. When you become a True Wealth Subscriber, you’ll get my Research Report with all the details — it’s called: The 11.6% Government Bond. I can’t give away too many of the details on these investments here, because it wouldn’t be fair to the folks who have paid for my research...
Plus, you’ll get the details on: How to make great tax free income over the next 12 months... An easy way to take advantage of the best real estate investment in the world (it’s not in the U.S.)... and details on a super-profitable secret gold investment that was created by a U.S. President. And that’s just for starters. I can’t say for sure if True Wealth is right for you, but I believe the research my team and I do is better than anything else out there. And our track record backs this up... For example, I’m particularly proud of the investments we found during the last bear market, which made our subscribers very nice gains, while most investors were taking a beating...
In the past year, we’ve found opportunities that have returned 1,000%... 217%... and 17 recommendations in our current portfolio that have returned double-digit gains. I know... anyone can cherry-pick a few winners. But our overall track record is unmatched as far as I know. As of the publication of my July 2007 issue, for example, we had 25 recommendations in our portfolio. 22 of these recommendations have made good gains. In fact, our True Wealth research has done so well that many investment professionals have started following our recommendations for themselves and their clients...
How will you know if True Wealth is right for you? Here’s what I suggest... 6-Month, Risk-Free Trial I would like you to have the next 6 months to evaluate True Wealth at no risk or obligation, so you can take your time deciding whether or not it’s right for you. In fact, here’s what I propose...
I'll also rush hard-copies of these reports to you by regular mail.
Six months should give you plenty of time to decide if you like my research and my investment philosophy. If you decide True Wealth is not for you, simply let me know by phone, fax, or e-mail, and we’ll issue you a full refund. How much does True Wealth cost? And how can you get started? My Favorite Small Stock My specialty is super-safe and profitable investments for folks who are retired, or would like to retire soon. But occasionally I find a speculative opportunity that is too good to pass up. For example, right now, there’s a tiny stock selling on the American Stock Exchange, which has the very real potential to go up 500% or more over the next year or two. How can I make a prediction like that? Because the last time we saw a bull market in this sector, this company rose 1,800% in about three years. In recent years, this company and this industry have been very quiet. But recently, while no one’s been paying attention, it’s been sneaking up—gaining 45% just in the past six weeks. Today this tiny stock is still incredibly cheap. The sector it’s in is starting to take off once again. And if you are looking for a place to speculate with a tiny portion of your portfolio, this is my #1 choice. As I said, I can’t promise that you’ll make 1,000% or more… but you do have a reasonable shot at making several times your original investment. When you sign up for a trial subscription to True Wealth, I’ll send you a free copy of my report, which contains everything you need to know. This report is called: My Favorite Small Stock in the World Right Now. Again, this is not my typical type of recommendation... and you should only invest a very small percentage of your portfolio. Because if it takes off over the next 12 months as I expect, a small stake is all you’ll need. True Wealth, by the way, costs just $199 for a full year of research and reports. Is it worth paying the equivalent of just $16 a month to learn about safe and profitable investment opportunities you'll hear about nowhere else? I think so, but here's what a few paid subscribers have told me recently...
The way I look at it, the longer you wait to get in on these investments, the less money you will have for retirement. Sincerely, Dr. Steve Sjuggerud, PhD P.S. Keep in mind that when you sign up, you'll have immediate on-line access to everything I described here. |
