Health Alert: Antibiotic-Resistant Disease Killing Humans and Swine in Denmark

The antibiotic-resistant bacteria Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase [ESBL] is killing both people and swine in Denmark.

The bacteria has been implicated in the deaths of a number of cancer and liver disease patients. The number of infected patients jumped 50 percent last year.

Health officials said the bacteria is being transmitted to humans through pigs. How? The increased use of antibiotics in agriculture may be behind the spread of the resistant strain.

What are ESBLs?
Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases [ESBLs] are actually enzymes produced by certain types of bacteria, which renders the bacteria resistant to the antibiotics commonly used to treat them.

ESBLs were first discovered in the mid-1980s. At the time, they were mostly found in the Klebsiella species of bacteria, in hospitals' intensive care units. Until recently, few people were affected by these mutated bacteria, and it didn't appear to be a major growing concern.

That has changed, however. According to the British Health Protection Agency [HPA], a new class of ESBL -- called CTX-M enzymes -- has emerged, and are now being widely detected among E.Coli bacteria. These ESBL-producing E. Coli are resistant to penicillins and cephalosporins, and are becoming more frequent in urinary tract infections.

Other species of bacteria that can now produce ESBLs include:
* K. pneumoniae
* K. oxytoca
* Salmonella
* Proteus mirabilis
* Pseudomonas aeruginosa

The Problem is Worse Than You Think!
According to a study published October 2007 in the Journal of the American Medical Association [JAMA], there were close to 100,000 cases of invasive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus [MRSA] infections in the United States in 2005 -- which lead to more than 18,600 deaths.

To put that number into perspective, HIV/AIDS killed 17,000 people that year.

Antibiotic-resistant disease IS a major man-made problem.

This was the study that propelled MRSA into the news last year, combined with a number of school outbreaks that took place around the same time. Discussions focused largely on reducing medical over-use of antibiotics, and proper hygiene -- such as washing your hands with soap and water to reduce the spread of infectious disease.

But little has been said about the rampant over-use of antibiotics in agriculture -- which is a MAJOR source of human antibiotic consumption -- and, hence, increased antibiotic resistance.

Agriculture as a Source of Antibiotic Resistance
Both MRSA and ESBL are being traced back to animals raised for food production -- especially, pigs.

These animals are often fed antibiotics at low doses for disease prevention and growth promotion. Animals receiving antibiotics in their feed gain 4 to 5 percent more body weight than animals that do not receive antibiotics. But the price is high for you, the end consumer, because this practice also creates the perfect conditions for antibiotic resistance to flourish.

Denmark's health officials claim they're unsure of how farmers and vegetarians -- who have not consumed infected meat -- are becoming infected. However, according to research cited on Johns Hopkins' website, the main reservoir of these organisms is in the lower digestive tract, and they can persist within the gastrointestinal tract for months.

So, perhaps the answer doesn't have to be all that complicated. The meat industry's practice of using antibiotics is, indeed, a driving force behind the development of antibiotic resistance in a now wide variety of bacteria that cause human disease.

The long stalemate on this issue constitutes a struggle between strong science and bad politics. In August 2007, he FDA finally banned the use of fluoroquinolones, a widely used class of antimicrobials, from agricultural use -- but not without the Bayer Corporation kicking and screaming in vehement opposition. After all, antibiotics for livestock use is big business; it constitutes about 70 percent of ALL antibiotic use! They couldn't replace that market with human consumers even if they tried.

Other Agricultural Sources of Antibiotics
Another heavily tainted meat product you should stay away from is conventionally raised chicken. A 2006 study, published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases, found that bacteria from conventional chicken, and from people who ate the chicken, became resistant to Synercid, a strong antibiotic used to treat antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In essence, it can cause resistance to the last lines of defense currently available in the modern medicine cabinet.

It also found that it was rare to find resistant bacteria among antibiotic-free chicken, while the majority of bacterial isolates from conventional poultry were resistant.

But, the ramifications of using antibiotics in agriculture don't end there. Antibiotics filter down through the food chain in sometimes unsuspecting ways.

Antibiotics are also being transferred, via manure, into your food supply.

A 2007 study in the Journal of Environmental Quality looked at whether food crops will accumulate antibiotics from soil covered with antibiotic-containing manure. In a greenhouse setting, corn, lettuce and potatoes were grown on soil that contained hog manure, with a commonly used veterinary antibiotic added.

The antibiotics were absorbed by all three crops, into both their leaves and tissue. Meanwhile, the antibiotics also transferred to the potato tubers, suggesting that root crops -- like carrots, radishes and potatoes -- may be particularly at risk for antibiotic accumulation.

Unfortunately, these findings also have implications for organic farmers, who often use manure as their main source of fertilizer. And, as it stands, manure that contains antibiotics is still allowed under the organic label.

How to Avoid Excessive Antibiotic Exposure
So, how can you ensure that the food you feed to yourself and your family is pure and healthy?

Apart from growing it yourself, your best option is to get to know a local farmer near you -- one who uses non-toxic farming methods. If you live in an urban area, there are increasing numbers of Community Supported Agriculture [CSA] programs available that give you access to healthy, locally grown foods -- even if you live in the heart of the city.

If you are looking for a safer alternative to commercially raised beef, please be sure to check out grass-fed beef. Grass-fed cattle are not routinely fed antibiotics. They may occasionally receive them for an infection, but that would be the rare exception -- and even then, they are only used for a few days.

In a nutshell: "Natural" is best, and organic is superior.

Top 10 Tips for Selling on eBay

Editor's note: In the interest of helping our entrepreneurial readers grow their wealth, we're launching a series of articles to inspire folks to optimize eBay -- the world's online auctionplace for myriad goods and services. Here, SaleHoo's Jimmy Huber offers up pragmatic advice on how to sell on eBay...

By Jimmy Huber -- SaleHoo.com

eBay PowerSeller & Community Manager

1. Start small.
If you're anything like me, once you have a good idea, you want to put it into action immediately! Although you probably know, in theory, that any business takes 12-18 months to become established, somehow you still hope that you can get there in two!

But, one mistake entrepreneurs consistently make is to throw their life's savings into buying caseloads of stock -- before they even know how eBay works. It's easy to be lulled into a false sense of security on eBay after buying just one or two items.

For buyers, eBay is meant to be user-friendly. For sellers, things are a little more complicated. All PowerSellers agree that there are new things to be learned all the time, and you'll be surprised at how much more you know after several months of selling small, inexpensive items.

Be prepared to spend the first couple of months buying and selling a variety of inexpensive items you can purchase with your loose change. Keep track of what sells best and work on narrowing down the possibilities to a few strong products. By this stage, you will also have experienced the best and worst situations eBay has to offer, so you will be much better prepared to crank things up a notch.

2. Respond to questions as quickly as possible.
Most people use the Internet because it provides what they need instantaneously: information, contacts, gifts, advice, and so on. Therefore, I can't emphasize enough the importance of checking your e-mails as often as you can, and replying to queries as quickly as possible.

3. Organize your time and keep to a schedule.
If you are holding down a full-time job and working after hours to get your eBay business in motion, then it's vital to have a list of what you need to get done and stick to it, so you make the most of the precious time available.

Once you are working on eBay full-time, this becomes even more important! It's all too easy to reach the end of another day and find that you have gotten hardly anything done. So, keep a planner or diary, and make a timetable of what needs to be done and when.

4. Do take professional photographs from the beginning.
The old saying remains as true as ever: A picture speaks a thousand words. A bad picture can look unappealing and unprofessional. Plus, if the buyer can't really see the item properly, they may be put off bidding because they can't tell if it is what they really want. So, right from the beginning, work on creating the most professional pictures you can -- even if it means spending money on a photo tent and better lighting.

5. Don't put all your eggs in one basket; use other ways of selling apart from eBay.
eBay is not the be-all and end-all of selling online -- although it is one of the best ways to start. As soon as you can, though, try thinking of other ways you can increase your Web presence. Perhaps you could place a classified ad in Yahoo! or write about your auctions in a MySpace blog. There are plenty of cheap and easy ways to build up your profile.

6. Do keep a constant lookout for other products to sell, while also monitoring carefully what you are already selling.
Don't become complacent! Even if your items appear to be stock standard -- such as chairs, for instance -- make sure you keep looking at what other sellers are doing, emerging trends, magazine articles, home decor programs, and more. There may be another related product opportunity just waiting to happen that you completely overlook if you keep your blinkers on.

7. Do keep in contact with your wholesale supplier regularly to ensure you are aware of any stock issues.
A backorder can create a lot of extra work for you, soothing customers' ruffled feathers. And if they want their order refunded, it costs you money, too. So, make life easier for yourself by regularly touching base with your suppliers, and ensuring that communication lines stay open.

8. Do carry out regular keyword and market research.
Keyword research is the way to ensure that your potential customers find you successfully. Set aside some time each day for marketing and research, to ensure that you're keeping at the top of your game.

9. Do use software to help organize your sales.
It's hard to part with the initial investment when the business is still finding its feet, but the right software will make life so much easier. My eBay quickly becomes unwieldy when you are selling more than 15 items, and software ensures that you avoid making costly mistakes -- such as under-ordering stock, forgetting to ship to a customer, and so on.

10. Don't offer free shipping as a gimmick unless you can afford it.
Free shipping is a very effective way of attracting more people to your listings. However, before you consider offering free shipping, think carefully about your profit margins, how much your item weighs, and the fact that shipping will vary depending on how far away you are sending it. Offering free shipping is a good move if you can absorb the cost in your profit margin -- but it could easily become crippling if you apply it to a variety of items of different shapes and sizes.

'Doubling Stocks' Editor: Biotech Pick Wins FDA Approval

Editor's note: Yesterday [04/23/2008], just hours after the markets closed, "Doubling Stocks" editor Michael Cohen provided his subscribers with a heads-up regarding a California-based small-cap company that's poised to attack diabetes -- a dreaded disease that impacts some 20.8 million sufferers in the U.S. He promised a full story this morning on what he and Marl, "Doubling Stocks"' customized stock-trading robot, deem to be a timely pick and, sure enough, here it is...

By Michael Cohen
Editor & Publisher -- "Doubling Stocks"

Company: VitalCare Diabetes Treatment Centers [VDTI.PK]
Yahoo! Finance: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=VDTI.PK
Company Website: http://www.vitalcaretechnology.com

I'm excited to tell you that, since deciding to make VDTI my stock pick... The company has announced FDA approval of the device used in the therapy I told you about!

For those who've been a member for a few months, you'll know that FDA approval in the medical industry is one of the biggest developments a company like this can make. This development has only served to strengthen what I told you last night, and has given me even more reason to believe VDTI.PK could soar in price.

First, though, let me tell you a little about diabetes -- the problem that VDTI.PK aims to solve...

Diabetes affects 20.8 million people in the United States. That's 7% of the entire population, and treatment of this 7% costs the U.S. economy $174 billion in 2007. And, yet, the problem is only set to get worse.

The cost [to the U.S. government] of treating diabetes has already risen by 32% since 2002. And, since diabetes is caused by obesity [and, thus, unhealthy, fast-food-driven lifestyles], experts agree that the problem is set to get worse. [The current estimate is that those affected will rise by 42% in just a couple of years.]

Diabetes already accounts for 18% of total hospital costs, as hospital costs are six [6] times higher for a patient with diabetes, than for a person without diabetes.

Now, I think we can agree that diabetes is a major problem. It is a condition which is given far less media coverage than cancer, yet it affects 7% of the population and inhibits their daily life indefinitely. [There is no "real" cure.]

But VDTI's [now FDA-approved] solution could ensure that diabetes sufferers live a life where their body functions as normal. Let me explain...

Insulin keeps diabetes sufferers alive, but it's not a cure. All diabetics, no matter how healthy they may seem, will begin developing a secondary medical complication as a result of their diabetes.

Perhaps, unlike any other disease, diabetes adversely affects all aspects of the diabetic person and his or her whole family. All aspects of life are virtually controlled by diabetes. Eating, sleeping, physical activities, sexual function, work, travel, and the overall way that diabetic person feels, are dependent on controlling the disease, and require constant attention.

A diabetic person constantly works to maintain his or her blood-sugar level within a "tight range," as this is all that they can try to do. There are no vacations from this disease -- even for a few hours. And, because there is no cure [and will be no cure for the foreseeable future] the best "cure" available is to ensure that the body continues to function as close to normal as possible.

VDTI has done just that. The company is the sole and exclusive licensor of iCAT therapy. [By the way, iCAT stands for Intracellular Activation Therapy.]

The iCAT therapy uses a special "micro-pulse" insulin pump, with extremely sophisticated proprietary software [algorithms] incorporated into its logic. The pump delivers small "micro-doses" of insulin in a pattern which mimics the way a normal pancreas secretes insulin, which is used by the liver. iCAT Therapy also uses "real-time" measurements of the patient's blood sugar levels and bodywide metabolic rate by the use of a "metabolic measurement cart."

[Note: My understanding of "metabolic rate" is that it is, in fact, just how fast your "whole system" runs. It is the rate you convert energy stores into working energy in your body. And, I have found that the whole problem with diabetes is that it stops your body from making the energy required to live.]

This measurement data is inputted into the pump, which automatically adjusts the next insulin dosage to stimulate a more normal metabolism... So, it is much more advanced than anything at the moment.

Currently, insulin is injected at a constant rate. VDTI's piece of equipment actually measures and calculates exactly what your body needs. Shortly, the body's cells begin to utilize glucose -- the main thing that people with diabetes cannot do normally.

This treatment, therefore, restores the normal functioning of the body, which promotes healing. No other technology or protocol has ever demonstrated this level of success.

And, it was this device which had me excited about the company when I decided to make it this week's pick. But, just the other day, VDTI announced: "FDA Approval of iCAT Therapy"!

The price has not changed. But, overnight, the company has, in my opinion, become intrinsically more valuable -- based simply on this development.

I cannot stress enough that FDA approval, in this industry, is a huge development for a company -- which is why FDA approval is otherwise known as "allowance to market."

Now, I also said last night, that no matter how strong a company looks... If they don't have a viable, clear and realistic route to market -- and, thus, revenue coming in -- I will not invest... And, usually, biotech companies such as this do not have a clear route to financial success.

Most see curing whatever disease as the main obstacle... Although, from an investor's standpoint, no matter how big a medical breakthough is possible, if there is not a clearly defined way of generating revenue, then it is not a business worth investment.

I've already told you how big the diabetes market is -- 7% of the U.S. population suffers from the condition. It most likely affects someone you know. And, in 2007, diabetes cost the U.S. $174 billion. Most of this cost was in terms of medical expenditure.

So, what is VDTI's route to market? In my research, surprisingly [for a bio-tech company], VDTI.PK has a clear route to market and, thus, revenue...

Just yesterday, in the same press release that announced FDA approval, VDTI CEO/Chairman Jimmy McDougald said: "With the only FDA-approved device delivering this treatment, we will expect to sign agreements to start the establishment of iCAT treatment centers immediately."

You see, VDTI.PK has the product completed, it is FDA-approved, and so obviously does what they claim [helps treat diabetes]. VDTI.PK can immediately start using joint ventures to open their own specialist iCAT treatment centers...

Plus, they can even start licensing the treatment for use in already established diabetes clinics almost immediately. [There are thousands of independent diabetes clinics across the U.S.] Each of these clinics will be able to license the iCAT treatment equipment... And, because the equipment is relatively cheap to produce [now, all the scientific work is done], profit margins are spectacular.

Now, everything I've mentioned points towards VDTI.PK being a strong company with a strong and experienced management team. But, up until now, despite this, the company has remained overlooked. And even FDA approval would be a wasted development if there were no investors watching the stock in the first place. [By the way, it is because this company is overlooked that I believe it is so cheap, given what the company has already accomplished.]

Overnight, FDA approval has made the current price an even bigger bargain, in my opinion. However, in last night's e-mail, I also mentioned that, recently, there has been a lot of media attention placed on diabetes and obesity. CBS News' "60 Minutes" even made it one of their top stories just the other day:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/04/17/60minutes/main4023451.shtml?source=mostpop_story

When the large media networks lavish attention on a certain problem, in my experience, public companies who address this problem seem to make small, but noticeable, gains. Now, these gains are usually so small, they are not worth pursuing, as even the cost of trading will eat up the small profit on offer. But, with a micro-cap company, I believe this attention could see the stock price soar -- especially, with a relatively new, and overlooked, firm such as VDTI.

And, as this company is also now on the brink of success -- with the announcement of FDA approval -- it is sure to catch the attention of even more investors, as the problem is raised by the mass media.

Best Regards,

Michael Cohen

P.S.: I researched VDTI.PK from their website, press releases, and other public information on this company. It is always advisable that you do your own research, and see for yourself what makes this company special.

Because I chose VDTI based on a great product and a clear route to market -- but also because of mass media coverage of the very problem VDTI aims to solve -- it is, in my opinion, extremely time-sensitive. If you are reading this more than 24 hours after being posted, please don't even bother.

Kari Larson doesn't own stock of any of the companies mentioned in this post.

Niche-Finder Software Kick-Starts eBay Seller Success

Auction Inspector niche-finder software is proving to be a huge hit with eBay'ers by solving the knotty problem faced by all sellers: "What can I sell on eBay?" The software finds hidden market potential just waiting to be realized, by analyzing eBay’s "Want It Now" section.

An astounding 724,000 Americans list eBay as their primary or secondary source of income. Yet, statistics show that 80% of all new businesses fail within the first two years and, sadly, eBay sellers are included in these numbers.

In 2004, ChannelAdvisor, which sells e-commerce-management services to large eBay sellers, was quoted as saying that they see up to 20 eBay sellers go insolvent every month, as they fail to adapt to changing technology or successfully counteract new competition.

It seems nothing has changed. Chad Thompson, from Salehoo Wholesale Directory, says: “Not a day goes by when we don’t talk to a seller at the end of their tether, wondering why they aren’t making money from 'it' merchandise, such as iPods, PSPs and designer handbags. They’ve heard these products are hot, but they haven’t countered on the stiff competition out there. Unfortunately for some sellers, this spells the end of their eBay career.”

Sellers who are aware of the problem that competition poses may be put off, believing that there is no room to make money. But Pat Davenport, Auction Inspector’s representative, says that there is still a wealth of opportunities to be had in niche markets –- and Auction Inspector literally hands eBay sellers "profitable markets on a plate."

"Today, there is endless choice for the consumer, and that means a virtually unlimited demand,” Davenport says. “We’ve seen people making money from the strangest merchandise: old menus and restaurant memorabilia, right through to old car parts. Of course, it’s pretty hard to dream up these niches on your own, so that’s where Auction Inspector becomes invaluable."

Auction Inspector inspects posts on the eBay’s "Want It Now" section, and tells you which products are wanted most often. The software takes the number of requests for the product AND the number of responses by sellers, and runs it through a sophisticated algorithm to give you the potential of the products. Products with a low potential are either not in demand, or already satisfied by a glut of sellers. Products with high potential are ones everyone is wanting, and nobody is offering!

Sellers who have used Auction Inspector software say that this tool has not only made their businesses more profitable, but also saves them valuable time in product research.

Steve Hopkins, a veteran eBay seller with over 4 years' experience, is just one of those who is reaping the benefits of Auction Inspector: "Auction Inspector is one program that I am tempted not to turn my friends onto...I consider Auction Inspector a secret weapon in my sales and marketing arsenal."

Pat Davenport says this is typical of the response they have had from Auction Inspector users. "New eBay sellers say this tool has saved them from becoming another failed business statistic, while veterans use it to streamline their business operation," he noted. "Auction Inspector is a tool that can enhance eBay businesses at all levels."

'Doubling Stocks' Editor: Keep Mining Vanguard Minerals

Editor's note: Last week [04/10/2008], "Doubling Stocks" editor Michael Cohen gave his subscribers a heads-up regarding what he called a "hot topic" stock pick that deserved attention: Vanguard Minerals Corporation [VNGM.OB]. According to Cohen -- with the help of Marl, "Doubling Stocks"'s customized stock-trading robot -- VNGM is still a great short-term pick, as well as being a good value play. This morning [04/17/2008], he re-recommended VNGM, noting that it's "the only stock I've ever chosen twice."

By Michael Cohen
Editor, "Doubling Stocks"

Company: Vanguard Minerals Corporation [VNGM.OB]
Yahoo Finance: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=VNGM.OB
Company Websites: http://www.vanguardminerals.com/

I don't generally like to choose the same stock, let alone the same stock, twice in a row... But I really couldn't pass up what I believe will be easy profits again on VNGM.OB.

Last week, subscribers gained 69.56% in just under 8 days, on VNGM.OB ... And I've chosen the same stock again, for good reason...

Now, kick back and grab a cool one... As in this report, I'm about to explain the absolute best way to find a stock about to rocket in price.

So, what is the best type of investment opportunity? Here are some possibilities:

Possibility #1: This investment opportunity has a huge "upside potential," meaning it realistically could return 60 - 100% within the time scale.

Sounds good, huh? In fact, this is usually what I consider a "Doubling Stocks" pick to be. But, is there anything better?

Yep!

Possibility #2: This investment opportunity has a huge upside potential for gain -- again, a 60 - 100% return is realistic.

But, this time, the risk is very small. There is something in the investment that means you're only ever likely to lose a very small amount of your investment... And even this would only happen if things went really bad.

I like to characterize the second type of investment opportunity in a saying:

"Heads, I win; tails, I don't lose much!"

If you went to the horse track, and you were offered 90% odds of a 20 times return and a 10% chance of losing your money, would you take that bet? Heck, yes!

You'd likely want to make that bet all day long... And it would make sense to bet a very large amount -- or as much as you could comfortably afford -- with these spectacular odds.

It is a very low-risk, high-return bet: Heads, I win; tails, I don't lose much!

In horse racing, as you probably know, you are betting against other bettors, and the house takes a flat 17% as a fee. Therefore, "frictional costs" -- relative to the stock market -- are very high; i.e., the cost of getting in and out is high.

To be a consistent winner at the race track, a person has to overcome the staggering 17% frictional cost of placing a bet. And there are, in fact, a few who can, and who do, make their living this way.

Yet, they don't bet like the rest of us...

These guys watch all the horses and races, yet place no bets. Then, when they encounter widely misplaced odds [in their favor] on a horse about which they know a great deal, they bet heavily on that one horse in that one race.After that, they go back to watching the horses and races indefinitely -- with no bets placed until another good opportunity shows up.

What are they doing? They are looking for mispriced bets; e.g., a horse with a one-in-two chance of winning, which pays you three-to-one. They're looking for a mispriced gamble.

And, guess what? These happen in the stock market, too. They don't come about often, but when they do, there is certainly scope to make a lot more than our neighbors at the racetrack. Again...

"Heads, I win; tails, I don't lose much!"

You may think that what I've explained is far-fetched, and must only be an available opportunity once in a blue moon. But, there is man from Surrey [you know of him], and he has built a $7 billion fortune by using this strategy time and time again. His name is... Richard Branson.

Let's delve into the birth of Virgin Atlantic, and learn how to start any business with minimal capital.

Richard Branson started his entrepreneurial journey at 15, and was very successful in building an amazing music recording and distribution business.

Somebody then sent Branson a business plan about starting an all-business-class airline, flying between London and New York. He thought about this proposition all weekend and, on Monday, Branson went to meet his partners. They laughed off the idea, claiming it was ludicrous; just the plane alone would cost $200 million.

Branson persisted. He called directory inquiries to get the phone number for Boeing, and asked someone there if they had an old Boeing lying around. The guy said they did. After some persuasion, he gave out some ballpark figures, and agreed they could lease Branson a plane.

Branson then figured out his total outlay and maximum liability for starting Virgin Atlantic Airlines [if it failed] was just $2 million. [His record company was on track to profit $12 million that year.] Branson also figured he could hire a small ground staff, place a few ads in the paper, and start taking reservations.

Now, if someone came up with this idea in Silicon Valley, there would be a fancy business plan put together, and it would all be based on at least $60 million in start-up capital.

Branson did not go down this path. The "business plan" was done in a weekend and resided in Branson's head... And Virgin Atlantic went on to become a wildly successful business that made a profit of almost $100 million last year.

In 1999, Branson sold 49% of Virgin Atlantic for a figure that valued the entire business at £1.25bn. Over 10 years, his return on investment (ROI) has been amazingly high... So high, it would be unheard of on Wall Street.

Why? Because Richard Branson intrinsically builds his businesses and takes risks based on...

"Heads, I win; tails, I don't lose much!"

By now, you're likely thinking, "Look, Richard Branson has done very well; my hat's off to him. It's an entertaining story, but surely these kind of opportunities cannot be still around for little old me."

I'd be lying if I told you that these opportunities came up in the stock market every day. They just don't -- and even more so now, with the amount of analysts watching companies... Almost all wildly "mispriced bets" would be found and exploited [forcing the price upwards and closing the gap].

The reason I've brought this up is not just because I wanted to tell you one of my stock-picking secrets. It is also because VNGM.OB follows this "Heads I win, tails I don't lose much" principle. Let me explain...

Last week, VNGM rose from $0.46 to $0.78 -- a 69.56% again in just under 8 days. During this time, the stock formed a trading pattern: First, it rose upwards towards $0.55... It then swiftly dropped back down by $0.10 before rising again towards $0.78... Since then, the stock has dropped back to $0.60... for what I believe [and what Marl believes] will be another run in the stock price.

And I believe the effects of this technical trading pattern will be leveraged on the recent increased investor awareness of this stock...

You see, last week, VNGM.OB was trading on large amounts of volume. In other words, many investors were getting in and out, which is what formed the trading pattern Marl found... And, so, right now, we have a large amount of investors who have VNGM sitting at the top of their portfolio, watching its every move.

In my experience, this amplifies any situation if the stock starts to move up and the stock charts show a green arrow. Investors' interest will pique, and all those watching VNGM.OB have the opportunity to easily buy in -- for what looks like a repeat performance of last week.

Just look at the above stock chart for April 11. It clearly shows a pattern as it peaks, then falls back, then peaks again before falling back. This pattern was identified by Marl last week, and again this week.

However... This time, Marl issued an even stronger buy recommendation, because the pattern is trending towards what I believe [and what Marl believes] will be an even bigger gain.

So, how does this relate to the "Heads, I win; tails, I don't lose much" theory I told you about? Well, as a matter of fact, VNGM is an opportunity that follows this theory exactly.

I've just explained what I believe is the "Heads, I win" factor in this stock... And this is all Marl needed to give this pick a strong recommendation.

But what makes VNGM.OB so great, that I decided to choose it as a pick twice in a row? Of course, it is that, in my opinion, it has very small downside risk. And, so, it meets the "Tails, I don't lose much" criteria, too.

Again, let me explain...

I chose VNGM because it is a uranium company with an edge over others. They are situated in an area that allows for a very low cost of production. Plus, they are currently working hard to raise their profile with investors.

Since initially releasing the pick, VNGM management has reported a very important development: The company is planning to start exploration at a new site [Killock Bay], which will include:

* Compilation of historic geological, geophysical, geochemical and drilling data from government-assessment files;

* Helicopter-supported, property-scale boulder sampling and prospecting;

* Ground geophysics, data interpretation and target identification; and

* Possible drilling, if warranted.

If VNGM starts drilling at this site, it could see millions of dollars flood onto this small company's accounts. And if that did happen, it could send the stock price rocketing...

Now, naturally, I'm not pinning my hopes on this reserve being full of uranium. [That would be foolish.] But I believe that, just the fact this is a possibility, will support the stock price at these levels.

In other words...

If, as I believe and as Marl predicted, VNGM.OB follows its trading pattern and runs back upwards... Then "Heads, I win" -- you'd be able to make a good profit in just a week or two.

And I strongly believe this will happen. Marl predicted this same pattern last week, and it made lots of subscribers almost a 70% gain.

But, what really makes this pick great -- what makes it the 800-pound gorilla -- is that, even if this does not happen, VNGM.OB is a great value investment.

The company operates in an industry that is obviously directly linked to the price of uranium. And experts agree: Uranium is only likely to increase in price in the future, as more nuclear plants are built that require uranium.

Not only this, but the company is, in my opinion, massively undervalued -- even at these levels... And these value factors will support the stock's price, even if the technical aspect does not come true.

Therefore, VNGM is a classic case of:

"Heads, I win; tails, I don't lose much!"

It is the same stock, following the same trading pattern that made investors huge profits just last week... And, as I noted, I believe VNGM's stock price is very likely to slowly [but aggressively] run upwards over the next coming week or two weeks...

Which could, I believe, allow you to easily double your money.

Best Regards,

Michael Cohen

P.S.: As, in my opinion, VNGM.OB is an obvious "mispriced bet," it is very time-sensitive. If you're reading this more than 24 hours after it was distributed, please don't even bother.

When Is An Autoresponder Not An Autoresponder?

If you're new to Internet marketing, you may be wondering: "What the heck is an autoresponder?"

Of course, some of the old hats out there reading this will scoff at that question. They'll LITERALLY say: "[SCOFF!] An autoresponder is a program that automatically sends out emails to your prospects! [SCOFF, SCOFF!]"

Well, they're right. An autoresponder does, in fact, automatically send pre-written emails out to people in a timely fashion.

BUT... [And this is a big-ass "but!"] An autoresponder is actually much, much more than just a program that sends out emails. It's actually...

A COMMUNITY-BUILDING TOOL.

Lemme give you a quick breakdown in website traffic to explain what I mean...

See, there are three types of website visitors...

There are first-time visitors.

There are recurring visitors.

And then there are ADDICTS.

Recurring visitors and addicts will almost ALWAYS buy more of what you have to sell than first-time visitors. So, in order to cultivate these two types of visitors, marketers want to build COMMUNITIES around their brand and products.

You've heard of blogs, message boards, and content sites -- right? These are all community-building tools designed to create recurring visitorsand addicts.

But, guess what?

THEY ARE ALL INFERIOR COMMUNITY CREATION TOOLS WHEN COMPARED TO A GOOD AUTORESPONDER.

To quote Martin Lawrence: "BELIEVE that!"

See, most people use their autoresponders WRONG. And the worst part is -- they don't even know they're doing it.

Blogs, message boards, and content sites have the disadvantage of needing people to come to them in order to be effective.

Emails are different. Emails go DIRECTLY to the people.

You ever lure a dog closer to you with a piece of food? Well, imagine the email is a piece of food, and your potential customer is the dog. You can take the time to have the dog come to you to get the food... Or you can toss the food to the dog.

In both situations, you're going to win the dog's trust. But one is MUCH FASTER than the other. Eventually, the dog you toss the food to will start coming to you, while the other dog will always be a bit wary.

The same is true of email.

So a good autoresponder will get you exposure to your customers -- but, more importantly, it will begin to BUILD A RELATIONSHIP with them! And let me tell you something: Customer Relationships are VITAL to selling!

The customer will get to know you, get to know your products, and get to know your company. And, eventually, be it two days later or two years later, they will EVENTUALLY buy.

Now, imagine if every first-time visitor to your website joins your autoresponder. Because of your autoresponder sequence, I'm willing to bet that at least 20%-60% of them become recurring visitors. And of that, maybe 10% become ADDICTS -- if you incorporate a blog or message board into your site.

That's when things get REALLY fun.

But make no mistake about it: It all depends on how you set up your autoresponder sequence! Do it right, you create a community of buyers around your business. Do it wrong, and you're just wasting your time and money.

That's why Rappin' Matt created the Email Rebel course: To teach you the RIGHT way to create an autoresponder sequence, and use your autoresponder to create the type of community you want.

You can get the course here:

It's chock-full of actual, HELPFUL information that can really benefit your business.

Understand: I'm very disappointed with a lot of products that are out there. They're just videos of talking heads in a seminar room, or mindless interviews with nothing new to offer. [And how many PowerPoint presentations do we need?Jeesh!]

That's why the Email Rebel course is DIFFERENT from all the other stuff you see. But you'll have to wait to experience it for yourself:

'Doubling Stocks' Editor: Vanguard Minerals Poised to Peak Within Weeks

Editor's note: This morning [04/10/2008], "Doubling Stocks" editor Michael Cohen gave his subscribers a heads-up regarding what he called a "hot topic" stock pick that deserved attention: Vanguard Minerals Corporation [VNGM.OB]. Stock of the $47.1 million company traded up and down all day, then finally closed at $0.59 -- well above its 52-week low of $0.08, yet nearly 20 cents lower than its 52-week high of $0.78. According to Cohen -- with the help of "Marl," "Doubling Stocks"'s customized stock-trading robot -- VNGM is poised to climb much higher during the coming weeks...

Earlier today, I e-mailed you about VNGM...

For those who decided to invest in this stock: Congratulations; you made a good decision.

First, I chose VNGM because they are a company riding on the price rise of uranium as a commodity. You see, between the current supply and demand of uranium, there is still a huge gap... And, for the past three years, it has risen towards $140 per pound, and then back down -- currently, at $60 per pound.

Experts in this area have concluded that price rises are likely to continue, and in the markets, this consensus will likely become self-fulfilling.

And, as I explained, investing in a company linked to a commodity that's likely to rise in price gives two distinct advantages:

* First, it focuses investors' attention on this stock and others in the same industry.

* Secondly -- particularly for mining companies -- a commodity rising in price bodes well for future profits.

But, thirdly and most importantly, I chose VNGM because it is a uranium company with an edge over others. They are situated in an area that allows for a very low cost of production.

... And they are currently working hard to raise their profile with investors.

Since releasing the pick, VNGM has reported a very important development: VNGM is planning to start exploration at a new site, Killock Bay, which will include:

* Compilation of historic geological, geophysical, geochemical and drilling data from government assessment files;

* Helicopter-supported property-scale boulder sampling and prospecting;

* Ground geophysics, data interpretation and target identification; and

* Possible drilling, if warranted.

If VNGM starts drilling at this site, it could see millions of dollars flood onto this small company's accounts. And if that did happen, it could send the stock price rocketing...

But that's not what I'm waiting for...

I believe news of this development is yet to fully take effect on the stock price. And so I think we will see VNGM's stock price continue to gradually rise over the next two to three weeks [as more investors become aware of it].

I strongly believe this stock has yet to hit its peak -- with the main reasons I chose VNGM, being factors which will take effect in the longer term; i.e., six to eight weeks...

But... I feel this stock will continue to rise strongly over the next two to three weeks, while news of this particular development is spread.

Because of this, I feel those who wait a little while longer -- maybe three weeks, at most -- will be handsomely rewarded.

Best Regards,

Michael Cohen

'Doubling Stocks' Editor: Mine Vanguard Minerals [VNGM.OB]

Editor's note: Last evening, "Doubling Stocks" editor Michael Cohen gave his subscribers a heads-up regarding what he called a "hot topic" stock pick that deserved attention, and promised he'd provide full details first thing this morning. Here's what he divulged just after today's markets opened [04/10/2008]. Per usual, his timely, ever-candid and irreverent advice -- mined from "Marl," "Doubling Stocks"' automated stock trading robot -- holds appeal to savvy and contrarian traders and investors, and more than fulfills the overnight anticipation...

By Michael Cohen
Editor, "Doubling Stocks"

Company: Vanguard Minerals Corporation [VNGM.OB]
Yahoo Finance: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=VNGM.OB
Company Website: http://www.vanguardminerals.com/

Last night, I told you I had found a "hot topic" stock that was flying under the radar of most investors...

And, for those who didn't read that e-mail, I mean... Marl found a stock that is massively undervalued... even though it trades in an industry where companies usually have extremely high stock prices.

And there is usually just one reason companies are undervalued. And that is... They have poor growth prospects, and so Wall Street investors forget about them like an unwanted stepson.

On the other hand, when these Wall Street types find an exciting company -- usually, in the hot topic of the moment -- it will be bought up and up, until the price bears little resemblance to the company's real value.

A great example of this is Apple and Google, both of which are companies that are massively overvalued by investors. This is mainly because of the perceived worth of their brand, and the high profile these companies have.

So, it goes hand in hand... that the price of a stock is often dependent, not on the company's performance, but, mainly, on whether the company operates in an industry that is a "cocktail party topic"... at that point.

Can you remember when Google floated not so long ago? It was featured on the news, and everyone [not just investors] was talking about it...

That kind of high-profile coverage took the stock from its floated level of $30 per share to the crazily high $747.24 per share.

Whereas, companies that operate in "boring" industries, such as funeral services, are often priced at such low levels, an investor could buy over 50%, simply liquidate all assets, and make a profit.

And what does this have to do with VNGM? Glad you asked...

You see, VNGM.OB is a uranium mining company -- or a stock that operates in one of the hot industries that everyone seems to be talking about.

Almost every day, we seem to hear about global warming, and newfangled forms of green energy.

And, so, it goes without saying that stock prices in this industry are usually extremely high...

And I often won't even analyze companies in this industry, as 99% of them are already valued based on their growth prospects...

And that's an unfair method of valuation... it wipes out potential profit, as the investor has already paid too high a price.

So, when I found a company [in this industry] that, based on analysis, shows to be extremely undervalued... I began to get very excited.

VNGM.OB is priced at a level that represents true value -- and this is attached to a company that has growth prospects usually only associated with stocks of much higher prices.

Let me tell you a little about the "hot" area this company operates in...

Over 50% of the uranium produced from mines comes from Canada [28% of world supply] and Australia [23%]. Other major producing countries include Kazakhstan, Russia and Namibia.

The world's largest undeveloped, high-grade uranium deposit today is Cigar Lake, in Saskatchewan. Cigar Lake, operated by Cameco Corp., holds 232 million pounds of uranium at a grade of 19%.

Production from Cigar Lake was scheduled to begin in early 2008. At its peak, Cigar Lake was supposed to provide 17% of world's uranium supply. But now, the future of the mine is in doubt.

In October 2006, Cameco announced that Cigar Lake had sprung a leak, and the underground workings are now completely flooded. From what I hear, the mine may be lost completely. At any rate, Cameco recently reported that production won't start back up for another three years.

News of the flood pushed uranium prices 6.6% higher in October -- from $56 a pound to $60. The increase was the largest weekly gain in 20 years. But since then, the energy metal has already doubled to over $120 per pound!

About 16% of the world's electricity came from 440 nuclear reactors last year. This figure is constantly growing. Right now, there are 29 reactors under construction around the world, and another 66 being planned. Japan, alone, intends to add 11 more by the year 2010, and China hopes to add 24 to 30 by 2020.

So, right off the bat, we know that demand for the radioactive metal is set to increase, just because of the growth in nuclear power generation. The more nuclear power stations are built, the more uranium they demand.

... And demand for uranium is very easy to accurately forecast.

The cost structure of a nuclear power plant means that the main cost is that of building the plant. Operating the plant is relatively cheap, and so...

It is very cost-effective for a plant to keep running at high capacity all the time. And, in fact, it is rare that you'll be able to find a nuclear power plant [in operation] that is not operating at the time of your visit.

And, so, the demand forecast for uranium largely depends on the number of plants over the country... Regardless of economic conditions.

So, the more plants that are being built, means there is more demand for uranium... And, consequently, it will rise to a higher price.

Now, get this...

Production from the world's uranium mines now supplies only about 60% of the requirements of the world's nuclear power utilities -- leaving a wide gap between production and demand.

The shortfall has been made up largely from government stockpiles and recycled nuclear weapons. But these supplies are currently running thin and certainly won't last very much longer.

The supply-demand balance for uranium is tighter than any other major commodity. And the flooding at Cigar Lake didn't help.

With a global building boom for nuclear power plants underway, demand for uranium is only going to rise. With rising demand, will come increased prices.

Simply put, investing in uranium is a "no-brainer." Uranium prices are almost guaranteed to continue increasing in value.

...In fact, industry experts strongly agree on this, as it is one of the easiest commodities to forecast, price-wise.

But, I also told you in yesterday's e-mail that I don't think investing in uranium [as a commodity] is a good idea.

You see, over the years, stocks have provided [on average] far better returns than any commodity.

And smart investors realize that the best way to invest in a commodity is to do it indirectly -- i.e., by investing in a company that is directly affected by the price of that commodity.

This is because you can give yourself an extra edge over most investors. By pairing up a strong company with a direct link to a strong commodity, investors can give themselves a very low downside risk with huge upside potential: The business could be sold at the height of the uranium bull market, and the full and total profit would be realized.

So, why is this company so undervalued?

VNGM is a very new stock... And new stocks are where the best opportunities to get in early come from.

VNGM is a uranium exploration firm whom base their operations in Saskatchewan, where high-grade ore can be extracted. But, most importantly [and here's the reason I chose this company]...

... Unlike other uranium exploration companies, this one can extract the valuable mineral at extremely low production costs -- primarily, because of where they are located.

You see, the company owns several large claim blocks in a place called Athabasca Basin [see accompanying map]. This place is renowned for its low cost of production... and this affords the company a vital competitive advantage...

Because uranium is purchased solely on the price [apart from if the quality is inferior]...

Profit Margins are Slim...

... And, therefore, the ability for one company to have a lower cost base means they can charge less, and make more. In addition, they'll have more profits to invest in exploration, and they'll be able to continue operation even when times are hard.

Plus, this company has its own "secret weapon": One of its staff is a maverick of the mining industry...

His name is John Maddry, and he has been in the mining industry for 18 years. During this time, he was instrumental in the discovery of million-dollar gold deposits in Nevada and South Carolina. He has helped find mines that have taken companies to millions of dollars in annual profits. This guy is also an authority on professional geology, and is the author of numerous acclaimed publications.

In last night's e-mail, I also told you that VNGM.OB had been flying...

Under the Radar"

And this is absolutely true...

You see, VNGM has a management team that's more focused on growing and creating shareholder value, than jumping up and down for attention...

It's no surprise that the best opportunities are often the ones that go unnoticed. And finding an undervalued company like this is like striking pure gold... They are as rare as hen's teeth and, by the very point that they are undervalued, means their true worth is often hidden and hard to find in a quick analysis.

But is there anything better than an undervalued company?

Yep.

You see, I have one problem with investing in undervalued stocks. The market can often require up to five years until it finally revalues the stock at the correct market price... where profit can be taken.

But, if you can find an undervalued company that's operating in a hot investing area [e.g., technology, biotech, alternative energy, etc.]....

... Then you have a distinct advantage. Because these companies operate in a hot area -- with a very active investor base -- they are often revalued by the markets much quicker.

And VNGM is even helping this process to go even faster...

You see, only recently, has Vanguard's management started to "shout" about what they do, by releasing news and creating a corporate website.

... And, so, the only reason I chose this stock as a value play, was because... it is in a "hot topic" area... And, so, I believe the process of the market re-evaluating it could take...

Just Two or Three Weeks!

...At which point, I believe, the stock price could appreciate over 200% from current levels.

This type of stock pick is just about my all-time favorite. Investing, based on value, is like betting at cards when the dealer tips his hand.

Why? Because the markets always, always, correct themselves. If a company is truly undervalued, it could take months or even years. But, eventually, the stock price will reflect the company's true value.

And, so, I think you're really just waiting for the inevitable to happen. Like I said, it's just like betting at cards, when the dealer is tipping his hand your way.

One last thing I think you should know before researching VNGM.OB is that, I nearly didn't send this pick out...

That's right. Even though this is almost definitely one of the best opportunities I have seen this year, I almost skipped it. Why? Because it requires something most stock traders don't have...

... Discipline.

Value investing requires the discipline to find a good opportunity, bet big, and hold onto that position until the market has fully revalued it.

If you "chicken" out, you could still end up with, I believe, a 30% gain... But I strongly believe this stock will peak at a 200%+ gain within two or three weeks.

Best Regards,

Michael Cohen

P.S.: With a stock that is this promising, in my opinion, you are looking for a 200% gain minimum... Any less, and I'd be bitterly disappointed, because this sort of opportunity doesn't come along often... But, when it does, it's where all the biggest gainers come from.
