Last Friday the folks at Fox Business News invited your editor on to talk about gold (view clip here – I come on at about the 21 minute mark).

If you watch the video, it won't take long to see Fox Business probably won’t be having me back on anytime soon.

The reason I won't be back is not because I did a terrible job or anything like that. It's because of something else. It's because of something 99% of investors don't know, but if they did, most of them would instantly become better investors and, in this case, reveal to them exactly how to maximize their gains from the ongoing gold bull market. Let me explain.

The Truth about TV

The media industry is different than any other.

Media companies are simple businesses. They make money by keeping viewers tuned in. They provide the information the masses want, whether that is good information at the right time or not. That's why they chase after "hot" news stories just like most investors. It's more exciting. It's more fun.

That's why with gold passing $1,000 an ounce and holding up, the herd wants more information about gold. They want predictions. They want to hear someone say gold is going to $500 or someone who’s going to say gold's going to $5,000. And from the media company’s perspective, the more outlandish the prediction the better (outlandish = entertaining/interesting = viewers staying tuned).

Think the stock market could collapse but don’t want to miss out on any upside?

It's a tough spot to be in, but there’s a rare investment that will do well either way.

It has all the upside potential of a stock and the downside risk of a bond. It’s perfect for this type of market.

Still though, 99% of investors have never even heard of it. You do not have to be one of them.

Why I Won’t Be Back

Take my Fox Business spot about gold for instance. We went over what are the potential prices of gold, the different ways to value it, and the key things that need to happen before gold prices take the next big step forward.

The general tone of everything was the big run in gold is going to take a lot longer than most folks expect.

The U.S. dollar has been the world's reserve currency for decades and it's not going to unwind in a year or two.

Stock stories just don't get better than this.

What if I told you I've found a relatively small company shaping up to be one of the future leaders in the lithium/hybrid car battery industry?

You'd be somewhat interested, right?

Well, what if I also to you this is not your average battery company. Its battery technology was developed at MIT. It was originally financed by Sequoia Capital - the same early investors behind YouTube, Cisco, eBay, Yahoo, etc. It has a close relationship with General Electric. The U.S. government has already cut a $249 million check to help it ramp up production. And finally that Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs were going to be big supporters.

You'd certainly be more than interested, right?

Well it's a real company. I'd say it's the best "story stock" to hit the market in a long time. More importantly, it proves how you can align your interests with Wall Street's to ensure the big money players have a personally vested interest in making you money.

It was the most absurd investment I could find...

Yet it turned out immensely lucrative. More importantly, it will show you exactly how to make a fortune in this market.

The economic recovery has been weak and showing only the faintest signs of improvement.

The downturn has affected everyone, but the trucking industry has been one of the hardest hit. Total truck tonnage shipped is down more than 10% from last year. And it's still declining. Even the Chief Economist at the American Trucking Association recently admitted, "I just don't see anything on the economic horizon that suggests freight tonnage is about to rise significantly or consistently."

Trucking companies are struggling for survival. In the first three months of the year, 480 trucking companies declared bankruptcy. More are going under every week too.

But you can take all the bad news and turn it into some very lucrative short-term trades. Here's how...

Herding is when many investors make the same choice based on observations of others, independent of their own knowledge. Markets do tend to have phases when one sentiment becomes dominant. These diversity breakdowns are consistent with booms (everyone acts bullish) and busts (everyone acts bearish).

To the best of my knowledge, there is no one barometer that accurately and consistently measures investor diversity. An objective assessment of public (media) and private opinion probably gives some good clues.

That's what Michael Mauboussin, Legg Mason's Chief Investment Strategist, wrote in his sure-to-be-investing-classic book, More Than You Know.

And it's probably the best explanation of what's going on in the markets today.

Now though, with the markets showing continued and exceptional strength, we have to wonder whether it's time to take profits or let our winners ride. To do that, we'll have to look at some of those "good clues"...

The precious metals bull market is in full swing.

The gains in precious metals have been slow and solid. There are bouts of euphoric urgency and small corrections all along an upward trend. Those are the signs of a true bull market.

But I'm not here to regale you with the virtues of owning gold and silver and why you must have some gold and silver stocks in your portfolio. We've been over it before. Today you'll learn how to turn this bull market into an absolute fortune.

You see, there will be a very great divide between the winners and the big winners. When it comes to true wealth, you've got to find the big winners. And there's no better place to do it than in a genuine bull market.

Because when the bubble does come, you'll be in place for quadruple-digit gains. I'm talking about the kind of gains that can turn a few small, well-diversified investments into true financial freedom. There's nothing like it.

Normally, to make the big scores, you have to take big risks. Some traders take big swings on volatile options where they're going to lose 100% or walk away with 300% or more. That's ok, but there's a lot more to be made here. This is a bull market and eventual bubble where true fortunes will be made. There will be winners and legendary winners. The best part is, the stocks where you'll make the most money in this run are actually some of the safest to own.

Premium Valuations and Premium Returns

Not all gold stocks are created equal. There are three main groups. You have the majors, the mid-tiers, and the juniors.

The difference in profit-potential of each group comes from one of the oldest gold company valuation strategies Wall Street simply doesn't use, but pays off very well in markets like this. Here's how it works...
