A reminder from our friends at Bonner & Partners:
Dear Reader,
Just a courtesy reminder...
Today is your last chance to call in to take advantage of the special subscription offer for Chris Mayer's newest research service, Chris Mayer's FOCUS before the deadline rush – because this offer disappears at midnight tomorrow night.
( All the details on the perks and benefits are here.)
Needless to say, this deal has proven very popular with our readers...
If you already know you want this, simply call me at 1-(844)-670-7890 between 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. today.
The phone rings right here in my office, and I (or one of my team members) would be more than happy to help you register for your risk-free trial today.
However, we have received a lot of questions and comments about this service. So today I thought I'd take a moment to answer some of the most common:
Is it possible to pay in installments?
Call and speak to me or one of my associates at 1-(844)-670-7890 and I'll explain how it works.
Why is the service named "Chris Mayer's FOCUS"?
Because unlike a typical stock "tip sheet," in this service Chris is focusing on sharing ONLY his very best ideas. He's focusing on finding stocks that have the potential to return 100-to-1 or more on an investment. Based on his research into every stock that returned at least 100-to-1 between 1962 and 2014, you might see an average of around nine of these opportunities every year.
And it's also called FOCUS because Chris strongly believes you will get the best returns if – instead of spreading your investment dollars across 50 or 100 stocks – you focus only on investing in your 10 to 15 best ideas. After all, why would you risk $10,000 in your 50th best idea, when you could invest $20,000 in your fifth best idea? Of course, as with all investing there is risk involved, so never go into the market with more money than you're willing to put on the line.
What kind of opportunities will Chris recommend?
Small- and mid-cap stocks, typically with a valuation of under $3 billion. The median market cap in Chris's study was around $500 million… So we're not recommending teeny-tiny penny stocks that are going to blow up your portfolio here, but substantial businesses, with plenty of room to grow. That said, these are still smaller stocks, and with that comes volatility – which can be a blessing and a curse.
What drives recommendations?
Chris is searching for companies that have tell-tale traits that indicate they may have the potential to return 100-to-1.
So how do you find them?
Chris is looking for key factors – which can all be summed up as growth, growth and more growth. The stocks must also pass his famous "CODE" test...
So they must be "Cheap." "Owner-operators" must own a large percentage or have a personal interest… Skin in the game. "Disclosures" – like Warren Buffett, Chris only invests in companies that are easy to understand. "Excellent financial condition" – a rock-solid balance sheet. Chris won't recommend a company with a lot of debt, or other financial burdens. On top of that, he'll also be looking for companies with a protective moat – something that helps them maintain an advantage over their competitors.
How many recommendations will Chris send out per year?
Chris will only recommend companies that fit the criteria of his system. This may mean some months there are no recommendations. Chris is estimating a minimum of six this year, based on the stocks on his current watchlist. But when you do get a recommendation from Chris, it will be very high conviction. And it will help you build a concentrated portfolio of potentially big winners.
What will the average holding period be on these positions?
It depends on the company. Like Buffett, Chris prefers to buy and hold these undervalued companies for as long as it takes for them to gain weight... But if there's a good reason to sell, he will issue a sell recommendation.
What's the exit strategy?
There are only three reasons why Chris will recommend selling these stocks.
Something changes at the company that changes his reasons for liking the stock – therefore, time to sell.
Some new research comes to light that makes him realize he was wrong about the company.
The stock goes up so high, so fast, that he simply has to recommend you take advantage of the market and sell.
Does Chris have a track record when it comes to these opportunities?
This service is very new – only a few months into it – with no long-term track record. But Chris is the analyst with one of the most successful track records across the entire Agora network. An independent accounting firm verified that between 2004 and 2014, he beat the market 3-to-1, and even beat the book value of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway 2-to-1, with an average winning percentage of 66%.
What is the target return?
In short, with this project, Chris is hunting "bigger game." He is hoping to use his breakthrough formula for finding a company with the potential to produce a 100-to-1 return. Chris will inevitably pick some losers. He will pick some stocks that only go up 50%, 100%, or 200% – far short of his goal. Although he expects to unearth a few 5-baggers, 10-baggers, and 50-baggers along the way.
Who is Chris Mayer's FOCUS right for?
FOCUS is open to everyone, whether you're looking to add another layer to how you invest or just using it to help teach yourself about the market. The strategy Chris teaches however is NOT intended for folks who just want to make a quick buck.
It's for intelligent people who understand it's impossible to make a fortune overnight, but that over time it is possible to grow your money at a significantly higher rate than the average market return.
What makes Chris Mayer qualified to find stocks that can return $100 for every $1 you invest?
Three years ago, Chris – with a team of four other analysts, including a guy who used to work for Peter Schiff's brokerage firm in New York – began researching and analyzing every stock on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq that returned 100-to-1 or more between 1962 and 2014. He quickly discovered some of these stocks were impossible to predict – like an oil company that struck a huge gusher. Or a biotech company that accidentally invented some miracle pill. But as he analyzed these stocks, he cross-referenced more than 2.3 million data points... And he found that many of them shared common characteristics in their early stages... Traits you can use like "fingerprints" to identify them in advance... even before anyone on Wall Street is paying attention to them. That's the system Chris is using to find stocks in FOCUS.
Has Chris ever sold a stock that has returned 100-to-1 before?
No. As I said, he only began researching this idea a few years ago – so most of the stocks he's bought since then haven't had time to grow that big... YET. In effect, you'll be one of the first to ride along with Chris in the hunt for these 100-baggers.
AND REMEMBER: Chris has one of the best track records of any analyst in the history of Agora. Before he began publishing his first newsletter, Capital & Crisis, Chris managed a $250 million portfolio for a bank and never lost money on a single deal.
An independent auditor from Alpha Verification Services in Richmond, VA verified that between 2004 (when Chris began publishing stock recommendations) and 2014... he beat the S&P 500 3-to-1. He outperformed some of the world's best investors, including Carl Icahn, John Paulson, David Einhorn, George Soros, and the book value of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway by as much as 2-to-1. And even in the heart of the 2008 financial crisis, he managed to give his readers the chance to make an average 42% gain.
So it should come as no surprise Bill Bonner has committed $5 million from his family trust to following the ideas Chris recommends in Bonner Private Portfolio . And Bill's business partner, Palm Beach Research Group co-founder Mark Ford, also told his broker to commit $100,000 to investing in these ideas initially. (With the intention to grow that investment to half a million dollars over the next 12 months.)
How long do we have to hold these stocks for?
Like you, Chris isn't interested in holding onto these stocks for the next 40 years. He wants to collect these gains as quickly as possible. In his study of the 365 stocks that returned more than 100-to-1 between 1962 and 2014, he found more than 20 stocks that returned 100-to-1 or more in four to nine years.
Like Franklin Resources, which returned $11,363 for every $1 invested – and reached 100-to-1 in just four years... Pharmacyclics, which returned $163 for every $1 invested – in just five years... Nexstar Broadcasting which returned $105 for every $1 invested in five years... Questcor which returned $215... the list goes on... And of course, you could have sold these stocks EARLIER and still bagged 100% gains, 200% gains, 500% gains, and even 1,000% gains or more.
The average length of time Chris Mayer has held a stock in the past is under two years. If you're in a winning position, he may recommend taking part profits and letting the rest ride.
Is this service "buy and hold forever"?
That will largely depend on the company. You may be in it for three years, or only three months. Remember: Chris will only recommend buying what he thinks are the very best companies. But he has a definite plan for getting out of them.
Chris will recommend holding as long as his investment thesis – his reasons for purchasing the stock in the first place – remains intact. But if something happens at the company, which changes his thesis... Or some news comes to light that makes him realize you need to sell... Or if a company is simply trading at a HUGE PRICE that is too high to ignore... Chris will recommend selling all or part of your position. So it's not buy and hold forever. And it's not buy and hope. There's a definite plan. And Chris will stick to it.
How is this service different from Bonner Private Portfolio?
In the Bonner Private Portfolio, Chris shares investment ideas that he believes are good for growing wealth safely, but surely. It's generally focused on stocks above $3 billion.
The strategy in Chris Mayer's FOCUS is more centered on growth. It involves looking at companies with a smaller market cap, with much greater growth potential.
