Collect Your $9,000
ONE-DAY Payout*

*Note from Porter Stansberry:

"One of my top analysts has just uncovered a below-the-radar private equity deal that could make you $9,000 or more in 24 hours. It involves an electronic-device company that's paying out a 51% ONE-DAY special dividend.

The only catch: You have to become a shareholder very soon... (To find out the date, see details in the brief below.)"

Dear Reader,

There's a foolproof way to collect as much as $9,000 in one single day – very soon.

As one of my top research analysts has uncovered, a private equity firm has just agreed to buy a 25% stake in a company that makes electronic devices. The secret deal includes a plan to pay out $940 million to shareholders of the company.

That amounts to a 51% one-day payout.

In other words, if you own 1,000 shares of this company, you collect $9,000. With 2,000 shares you make $18,000. And with 5,000 shares you make $45,000 – all within 24 hours.

But the one-day payout isn't even the best part of this opportunity...

Three to six months from now, you're likely to see even bigger gains.

How do I know this?

Well, for the past seven months my research team and I have been testing a special strategy that can make you money almost every single time you act on one of our recommendations.

It involves 'grabbing' abnormally large, unplanned cash distributions to shareholders...

Here's what we've found after real-time testing (and recommending this strategy to our readers – who've put their money on the line):

Almost every time we recommend a special 'dividend grab' – our readers get a chance to collect huge one-day payouts...

Then, 3-6 months later, they have the opportunity to make double-digit gains on the stock.

It works practically without fail, almost every single time.

Since November 2006, we've recommended 7 'dividend grabs' that have had time to mature for 3-6 months. All have gone up, except one. As of June 2007, four have made double-digits gains... The worst one is only down 3% – and is poised to shoot up in the next few months.

Plus, if you owned 1,000 shares of each, you would have collected a total of $38,230 with these 7 different one-day payouts.

Our newest 'grab' is the electronic-device company that's paying out an enormous 51% special dividend in the next few months. We're sending an urgent alert to all our subscribers...

I think this could be one of our single best dividend grabs this year.

Let me give you the full details...

Our in-house 'Dividend Grab' strategy

Right now, literally dozens of cash-rich companies are paying out large, one-day dividends that are 5 to 20-times bigger than the norm.

Take a look at just a few paid out recently:

  • 39% dividend: Potlatch (PCH); paper products
  • 30% dividend: Marcus (MCS); movie theaters and hotels
  • 23% dividend: TD Ameritrade; (AMTD); online broker
  • 18% dividend: Cousins (CUZ); real estate
  • 62% dividend: Alberto Culver (ACV); personal products

In some cases they're as high as $20 for every share owned... We've seen dividends as high as 85%.

These special dividends are not a freak occurrence. They happen much more often than most people think:

In 2006, for instance, more than 600 different public companies made these one-time, one-day 'special dividend' payouts. That's a 47% increase to what companies paid out to shareholders in 2001. 

This is a valuable long-term trend in the stock markets, and we wanted to find a way for our readers to capitalize on it.

So last year, we started developing a strategy at Stansberry Research for safely grabbing as many of these large dividends as possible...

We call it the S&A Dividend Grabber.

We actually learned about this idea from a private investor who is using it to fully fund his retirement.

As you'll see, it's simple... low-maintenance... and highly effective.

Here's the gist of how it works:

  • If you know about these situations, and become a shareholder as soon as the large dividends are announced, you can pocket one-day dividend payments of as much as $10,000 or more.
  • Even better, by holding on to 'dividend grabber' stocks over the following 3-6 months, you can make even more.

Let me show you a quick example of how this strategy works, so you can see how simple and profitable it can be.

$16,700 in 30 days

Consider a company called Imperial Sugar (IPSU), which announced that it would pay a $3 special dividend to shareholders on January 5, 2007.

If you'd bought IPSU shares at least a week in advance, they would have put you on the distribution list to receive this huge dividend.

That's $3 for every share you own. If you buy 1,000 shares, they cut you a check for $3,000. With 5,000 shares, you get a $15,000 one-day payout.

But wait; don't sell your shares just yet.

We analyzed 5 years of these special dividend situations:

Companies like Imperial Sugar almost always see their share price take off 3-6 months following a big dividend payout. So far, shares of IPSU have been as high as 34%.

We actually recommended Imperial Sugar to our readers on December 14, 2006.

In addition to the upfront $3 special dividend, our readers had the opportunity to make an extra $1,700 in stock appreciation if they bought 5,000 shares...

All in a little more than a month. 

In fact, we've been testing this strategy for the past seven months or so... We began by offering free recommendations to readers of our paid e-letter – the S&A Digest – to see what they thought.

I put 95% of my portfolio in this trade and made $7,000.00. It was stupid on my part to put so much into it but it turned out ok. I guess even a blind squirrel gets a nut once in awhile. Keep up the good work.”

~ Paid up subscriber Gary Hendilow

It was nice to see an extra $6,000 come into the trading account. You make it look easy, but some of us know better. When you come back down to Buenos Aires, the first “asado” (barbeque) is on me.”

 ~ Paid-up subscriber, HT

As an old lady, deeply in debt, and on a fixed income, I want to thank you for the dividend grabs. I need to raise as much cash as quickly and steadily as possible. This has proved a way to do it – step by step. I’m really grateful. Keep it up, please!”

~ Paid up subscriber Penelope Metznik

“Thanks for the idea of buying Imperial Sugar. I bought 700 shares, got a dividend check for $2,100 and am not convinced I should sell it just yet (it was just featured as a Zack’s #1 pick so I’m planning on holding it for a little bit to see what happens...)”

~ Paid-up subscriber Jenny Palatka

Take a look at the comments to your right. These subscribers run the gamut from retired widows to investment bankers and seasoned traders.

In seven months, we've recommended 13 dividends like Imperial Sugar to 'grab.' So far, we've successfully helped the readers to grab 11, and we're still waiting for two to mature.

Here are a couple more examples...

Wynn Resorts (WYNN) announced that it would pay a $6 dividend to shareholders on December 4, 2006. We issued a buy on WYNN on November 15, and it was up as high as 32%.

Boston Properties (BXP), an elite U.S. office-property owner, announced a $6.08 dividend on January 30, 2007. We recommended it to our readers on December 20. Shares rose well beyond the pre-dividend price, up as high as 22%.

As you can see, it takes less than a month to get on the 'payroll' and collect your huge dividend check.

Why settle for a measly 3% in 12 months when you can potentially collect 20%-80%, every single month, just as safely?

That's exactly why we created the 'dividend grabber' strategy.

In April 2007, we officially launched our proprietary new 'dividend grabber' strategy as an investment research product. We believe it's in the best financial interest of our S&A readers to use this strategy.

The next dividend that you can grab is the huge 51% one-day payout to shareholders of the electronic-device company. It's coming up very soon...

But before I tell you how to get the details, let me show you what exactly is behind this phenomenon...

The biggest dividends in over 50 years

They're known as 'special dividends' – these abnormally large, unplanned cash distributions to shareholders.

Take Aflac – the well-known insurance company...

Most investors have no idea that Aflac paid out a one-day dividend of 23% last February.

Four months later, Aflac made another whopping payout to shareholders – this time a 19% dividend.

A combined 42% dividend, in just 4 months?

Surprisingly, this is not out of the ordinary...

Companies used to pay special dividends all the time in the 1930s through the 1950s.

Take Eastman Kodak (EK), a blue chip that pays a pathetic 2.2% today.

Every single year for 33 years – from 1954 to 1986 – Kodak paid large special dividends to shareholders.

And so did a lot of blue chip stocks:

Solid U.S. businesses with household names like, General Motors, Exxon, Mobil, Texaco, Gillette, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Pfizer, Sears Roebuck, JC Penney, Union Pacific, Corning, International Harvester, McGraw Hill, and Boeing.

Gradually, these companies began to cut back, and eventually almost all stopped paying special dividends entirely:

Number of NYSE firms that paid special dividends
as a proportion of dividend-paying firms

What happened?

Companies were paying out special dividends far too often... so they were no longer 'special.'

Why are special dividends soaring today?

Plenty of reasons...

The biggest one is "an aging population wants steady dividend income," as Bill Barhart wrote recently in the Chicago Tribune.

Investors want to get paid upfront. They want the income.
 
And right now, companies from all around the world are competing for our investment dollars...
 
Those companies want your money so bad, they're willing to make ridiculously large, one-time dividend payments to entice you to invest... and to stay invested.

  • Cambrex (CBM) a biotech company is paying a 59% dividend.
  • General Maritime (GMR) shipping is set to pay a 34% dividend.
  • Hutchison Telecom (HTX) a telecom company will pay a 42% dividend.
  • British American Tobacco is expected to pay out 65% of its earnings as a one-time dividend next year.

All of these companies want your money. And they're willing to pay you huge sums upfront as a retainer.

Here's the way I see it:

Why not take the money they give you, stick around for a few months... then move on to 'grab' the next huge special dividend?

With so many special dividends out there, how do you know which ones to 'grab' and which ones to pass over?

Our 'dividend grabber' strategy filters out the safest and biggest dividends, so you know exactly which ones to grab.

All you have to do is buy shares and wait for your company check.

It really is that simple.

To see why our 'dividend grabber' strategy virtually ensures the results I'm promising, you've got to understand how these dividend payments work.

Let me show you with an example of one dividend we recently helped readers grab...

How we grabbed a 20% dividend from SAKS

Consider Saks Inc. (SKS), the high-end retailer.

You probably know about Saks 5th Avenue in New York. Their luxury apparel stores are all over the world. Right now they're even looking to make inroads in China and Macau.

In October, Saks management realized their Paris stores were a drain on the business. So they sold them to a company called Belk, for $285 million.

With all this extra cash, what does Saks do?

They can either put that money back into the business... Or they can create investor loyalty by giving it back to the shareholders as a large special dividend.

That's exactly what Saks did. They issued a press release on October 3, 2006.
   
Our system is constantly scanning these announcements, and immediately alerts us once they're made...

And thanks to mathematical models that Ian Davis – our Carnegie Mellon researcher on staff – devised, we don't have to waste time doing the complicated number crunching involved.

That lets us spend our time applying our 'dividend grabber' strategy to determine whether it's a dividend that's safe and big enough for you to grab.

I can't tell you everything about our strategy here. It's proprietary – for paid subscribers only.

But I can tell you the first thing we always look into:

Why is this company paying out such a huge dividend, and where is the money coming from?

Companies make these huge dividend payouts for many different reasons...

In the case of Saks, they'd fallen into $200 million+ worth of cash, and they didn't have any immediate and solid ideas to reinvest it in the company's growth. So they decided to give it back to shareholders.

We told our S&A Digest readers to "grab" the 20% Saks dividend, which was being issued on November 13. 

As long as you bought shares at least 5 days before Nov. 13, you pocketed your share of the 20% dividend. On your end, it really is that simple.

Once you grab these oversized dividends and pocket the cash upfront, something else exciting happens too...

The Dividend Grabber's 6-month surge

If you grabbed your dividend from Saks on November 13, you saw the price of your shares immediately decline in value.

This happens with regular dividends, too.

It makes sense: The company has less cash, so the market reacts accordingly.

This almost always happens after companies pay out huge dividends.

However, just as surely as the share price dips, it comes right back up... and keeps climbing...

Take a look: 

With Saks, the stock price returned to, and exceeded, its "pre-dividend" level – within 3 months.

We studied 6-years worth of special dividend payments (2001-2006) before we began recommending them to our readers.

We gave Ian – our Carnegie Mellon math genius – the parameters and criteria of our 'dividend grabber' strategy for analysis. He crunched the numbers... And what he found shocked us...

We only found one time – in five years – that a company's share price didn't bounce back to its pre-dividend level within one year.

One stock took 18 months.

And most soared past their "pre-dividend" price within the first 3 months! (68.42% did, to be exact.)

Recently, the derivative strategists at Credit Suisse – one of the largest and most successful investment banks in the world – conducted a study of their own.

Their conclusion:

"Companies that issue special dividends consistently beat the market, on average, over a nine-week period."

Watch what Public Storage (PSA) does after its special dividend payment in 2002:

If you'd locked in your Public Storage dividend, you'd have seen an extra 8.4% after the first 9 weeks... an extra 17.4% after 6 months... and 49.7% after 9 months.

Remember: All of this stock appreciation above and beyond the price you paid is just extra. You've already locked in your dividend.

Watch what happened to Nucor:

Four special dividends in a row – one every three months,  while Nucor's stock rises 40%.

Our studies of special dividends and the results we've had after following our strategy have convinced us that dividend grabbing is one of the safest and surest ways to make money in the stock market.

We send you an alert about a new payout...

You buy shares and grab the dividend...

Then you wait a couple months until the price jumps back to sell. (And of course we always notify you in advance when it's time to sell your shares).

We've found that happens – almost every time – within six months.

A lot of our subscribers enjoy this method of dividend grabbing because it's simple, and you get the cash right away.

We've written a primer detailing everything you need to know about our 'dividend grabber' strategy, including:

  • How much time do you have before each dividend grab, to get your name on the company's shareholder distribution list.
  • How long to hold your shares.
  • When it's safe to sell and exit a position.

We'll also show you an alternate strategy for trading on these special dividend situations that typically pays you even more money.

There are a few, slightly more risky ways to increase your profits (through buying call options). But frankly, we've been making such huge gains, so fast through simply buying the dividends; we don't know why you'd need to take on any extra risks.

This primer is simple, short, and easy to understand. It's essential reading for any new S&A Dividend Grabber subscriber.  

You'll receive this report at no cost, as soon as you become a member of the S&A Dividend Grabber.

The next 'grab': 51% in one day

My name is Porter Stansberry. I'm the founder of Stansberry & Associates Investment Research, and I write my own investment research advisory too.

I also personally oversee the research and recommendations in the S&A Dividend Grabber. I work with Sean Goldsmith, a very smart young researcher I hired last year to help me produce the S&A Digest.

If you've read the Digest you've seen Sean's work (even though I take credit for most of it).

I've never published a research advisory before that I thought was genuinely foolproof and suitable for any potential investor, no matter what age or what level of net-worth.

We're so impressed with the success we've had using this strategy (and our customers are so happy with the profits they've made) we decided to launch a new advisory service dedicated to covering these "dividend grab" situations – as well as other corporate "special situations," like spin-off opportunities, takeovers and mergers.

While we cover a number of different opportunities, dividend grabbing lies at the heart of this advisory service, so we call it the S&A Dividend Grabber

These plays are relatively short (typically 2-4 months), extremely safe, easy to understand, and simple to execute.

The rules on dividends are complex. They vary from exchange to exchange. They also vary based on the size of the dividend that's to be paid.

We take all of the guesswork out of it for you. You'll know precisely how to "grab" dividends safely.

Most importantly, you'll know which dividends are safe to grab.

From time to time we see weak companies trying to prop up their share price by offering dividends that they can't truly afford. (The subprime lenders did this, before they spiraled into bankruptcy).

With our new service, S&A Dividend Grabber, you'll have us vetting each and every special dividend that's announced.

We also publish a monthly summary of our open positions and let you know about the other "special situations" we're following in the market.

“On April 3rd, I bought 200 shares of Dean Foods @ $34.50 as recommended by your Dividend Grabber. 22 days later, it was up 8.2% and I had more than recouped my… subscription fee. I’m glad I opted for the auto-renew subscription.”

~ Paid-up subscriber Will Mason

“Porter, I too owe you a ‘beaucoup thanks.’ Per your suggestion, I bought shares of Imperial Sugar, collected the one-time special dividend. Even with the gains tax, the deal made a few bucks… enough to maintain my subscription to one of your newsletters and buy a case of my favorite Lava Cap Chardonnay.”

~Paid-up subscriber Beth Yates

“In December, one of your publications recommended: ‘Try ‘grabbing’ this dividend.. Boston Properties (BXP), an office REIT...’ I followed the suggestion and bought shares at $116 on December 21st. Yesterday I received my $6.08 dividend and the shares are trading today at over $125. Thanks!! – Nice ‘grab’!!”

 ~ Paid-up subscriber Bob Compton

“I finally took the plunge on your “dividend capture” strategy. I had hesitated as it seemed too good to be true. Bought HMA, captured the dividend, and sold HMA as soon as I captured the dividend… I made over 40% on my money in just a couple weeks. Thanks and keep up the good work.”

~ Paid-up subscriber Don Delaney
