Editor's Note:

In today's edition of Wealth Daily, Executive Publisher Brian Hicks will share with you a recent and very profitable trip he took to the Rocky Mountains.

Specifically, Brian learned how you can beat the market this year...and every year thereafter. Take it away Brian...

Dear Wealth Daily Reader,

It was about 2:20 P.M. on Friday afternoon when our plane landed at Jackson Hole Airport. It was early October and unseasonably warm for the time of year. Probably close to 80 degrees.

I took a cab from the airport to the Four Seasons Hotel, which sits at the base of Rendezvous Mountain in the Teton range. (As an aside, if you're ever in Jackson Hole, I highly recommend the Four Seasons. The staff is world-class . . . especially the beautiful Latino women . . . and the Double Barrel Burger at the Westbank Grill is a must.)

The cab driver was a transplant from the East Coast. He said he came out on a skiing trip in 1991 and never left.

I can see why. Jackson Hole - as well as most of Wyoming - is still pristine land, with so many elk and deer roaming free it's like a petting zoo.

But I wasn't there to enjoy the topography, even though I couldn't avoid it. I was there to meet with Mike Schaefer, the Phantom Trader and gold guru Greg McCoach.

The four of us were there to lay out an investment roadmap for 2007.

So after I settled in, I shot over to the house Mike had rented for the season.

Those three were already there, discussing the markets.

Mike had a map spread out on the dining room table, showing the Powder River Basin in Wyoming. It's one of the most prolific coalbed methane regions in the world.

He started pointing at specific spots on the map. "They'll test here at this well . . . and then over here . . . and if everything goes well, here and here. This is going to be huge, guys."

That's when I realized Mike had discovered a company that was a true ground floor opportunity. This company has developed a tool that prevents toxic water from escaping from coal seams.

You see, when drillers extract natural gas from coal (coalbed methane), they also have to extract the water that's trapped inside the coal seams.

And this water is very toxic. It contains arsenic, boron, iron, manganese, radium, fluoride, ammonia, sulfates and other water-polluting elements.

Where does the toxic water go?

Into a discharge ditch . . . or if a stream is nearby, in there.

This caused an uproar among residents in Wyoming and has nearly halted the expansion of the coalbed methane industry.

But . . . it also gave rise to an opportunity of extreme proportions.

Anatomy of a Moon Shot

About six weeks after Mike showed us the map and told us about the company, he sent out an investment alert to members of his Extreme Opportunities service.

He told his members to buy the company's stock at $1.50 a share.

This was on November 20, 2006.

Take a look at a chart of that stock today:

The stock hit a record high yesterday, reaching $4.10 a share. Members of Extreme Opportunities who purchased the stock when Mike sent the alert are sitting on a gain of 173% in three months.

Think about that for a second.

This one stock gained more in the last three months than the Dow gained between 2000 and today.

In fact, a $10,000 investment in the Dow - even at the lows of 2003 - is now worth $16,487, whereas a $10,000 investment in this stock on November 10 is now worth $27,300.

And that's the entire premise of Extreme Opportunities - finding ground floor opportunities that'll obliterate the average market return.

You see, we don't believe in the "efficient market hypothesis" - which argues that you can't consistently beat the market averages.

That's poppycock.

We view markets and investing just like any other endeavor. Some people excel, some people don't.

Take golf, for example. Tiger Woods consistently hits below par. Most golfers don't.

But why can Tiger consistently hit below par while a majority cannot?

Simple. Tiger has perfected his craft. He's a workaholic . . . constantly training and perfecting his swing. And that's the difference in a nutshell.

And that's why investors like Mike Schaefer . . . Greg McCoach . . . Jeff Siegel . . . the Phantom Trader . . . Warren Buffett . . . and Bill Miller consistently beat the market. They work harder, think differently, and have perfected their craft. Plain and simple.

That's what I learned while I was out at Jackson Hole.

This was in October, mind you. Everybody was calling an end to the natural resource bull market. Oil had dropped from $78 a barrel in July to $56. Gold had sunk to $568. And the Toronto Venture Exchange had corrected by 31%!

Investors hated commodities and natural resource stocks. But Mike was calling the bottom. And he was buying like crazy.

His call was pure genius. Take a look at the charts of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Toronto Venture Exchange, ground zero of the commodities bull market:

The Toronto Stock Exchange is in record territory and the Venture is fast closing in.

According to Mike, we've entered the second phase of the natural resource bull market. And he thinks oil, natural gas, uranium, gold and silver are headed back to highs.

Hopefully, you'll profit handsomely by following his advice.

But I also have some more news.

According to the Chinese lunar calendar, 2007 is the year of the pig. And this year's prediction isn't exactly comforting. The year of the pig calls for disasters, epidemics and wars.

If that happens, gold is going to the moon as investors rush into it for safety and protection. And if Iran erupts, oil too will shoot into the stratosphere.

It was in this backdrop that I convinced Mike to let me increase the number of investors who can join his Extreme Opportunities service.

Originally we set a limit of 200 investors who could join Extreme Opportunities. And we've stuck to that limit since 2005, the year we launched the service.

But now we're increasing the limit to 300. This way, more investors can participate in ground-floor opportunities like the stock Mike recommended on November 20.

If you're interested, I urge you to sign up right away. Extreme Opportunities costs $5,000 for a year's membership . . . and you can join using our quarterly billing program.

Sure, that's a big number. But how much is a 137% gain in three months worth to you? Like I said, a $10,000 investment just in that one stock would've yielded over $17,000 in pure profits . . . more than enough to cover your membership fee.

If you're ready to sign on, go here to do so: http://angelnexus.com/o/op/709

Or, if you want to find out how Extreme Opportunities operates, you can go here for all the details: http://angelnexus.com/o/web/709

But I urge you to act quickly. Mike is looking at several opportunities as you read this . . . and he has told me one could be recommended any day now. I want you to be on the list when that recommendation goes out.

So don't wait. Join now. Hedge yourself against the Year of the Pig!

Good investing,
