Sat in on the Agora Publishing seminar with Bill Bonner, Porter Stansberry and Chris Mayers "CODE" methodology last night. Of course, they were upselling their new private Investment advisory at 2 years for the price of one if you ordered last night - honestly a bit pricey but some useful take aways:
Two full years of Bonner Private Portfolio for less than the cost of a single year. ($2,200.00 for 2 years ... pricey.
Special Report: The CODE Deciphered: The Secret to Making Four Times Your Money in Any Market ... useful
C - Stocks that are cheap with hidden value example Alexander and Baldwin Shipping controls the majority of land on Maui in the State of Hawaii - Chris and researchers actually went through the Maui Registery of Deeds to verify the extensive land Ownership by A&B - irony is yes they own the land but only have it on their books at $20M Book Value acquired back in 1860 - land now worth multiple Billions.
O - Stocks where the Owner/Managers have skin in the game especially when they earn income based upon increasing shareholder value long term instead of financial engineering - using 0% debt to buy back stocks to drive up market valuations due to stock scarcity - debt that could crush many businesses in a correction or interest rates normalization.
D - Disclosure - if you can not understand the language in the Annual Corporate Reports or SEC quarterly filings - run do not walk to the EXITS example Valeant Pharma crash chart. When they can't actually dazzle you with their brilliance they just try to baffle you with bullshite.
E - Excellent balance Sheets and judicious use of debt if any - no viable company ever when bankrupt that had NO debt.

Peter Lynch in his famous "One Up on Wall Street" was famous for saying that 2, 3, 4 and even 10 baggers are great but nothing is as life changing as 100 baggers and the PDF above indicates that there are a lot more of them than people realize.
Some useful summer reading that can in-fact change your life - enjoy and thank me later.
