[Double Coupon Bonds] are for you” - Forbes
Dear Reader,
I’ll tell you what, right now, you’re not going to find anything much better – especially in a market like this.
You’re about to learn about something truly special in the financial world. Something that, in a way, offers it all:
Dividends 3 or 4 times higher than blue chip stocks…
The safety and downside protection of a regular bond…
The unlimited upside potential - just like stocks…
And actually performs better in bear markets…
These are unique. It’s safe to say 99% of the people reading this probably don’t have any idea what on earth I’m talking about.
It’s something I call a “Double Coupon Bond.” And I’ll show you how to take advantage of them in a moment.First though, I want to clear something up. You see, I’ll admit it. When I first heard of these, I was a total skeptic.
Just the thought of an investment that does all that (dividends, safety, and big upside potential)…It just sounded too good to be true to me.
There was just something I couldn’t quite figure out – at first.
I wondered if “Double Coupon Bonds” are as great as they seem, why would Wall Street pro’s pass on these? After all, Wall Street isn’t known for taking care of “the little guy.”
As it turns out, they rarely passed on them. Very, very rarely…
According to the Wall Street Journal, “About 95 percent of all trading in [Double Coupon Bonds] was done by hedge funds.”
The Financial Times reports, “Pension funds and sovereign wealth funds are starting to invest large amounts in [Double Coupon Bonds].”
The big money loves them. But the big money isn’t so big anymore.
Hedge funds, pension funds, sovereign wealth, and mutual funds are all facing some tough times. Sovereign wealth funds have lost billions in this downturn. Hedge funds have shut down left and right. Pension funds and other institutional investors were hit just as hard.
They’re all running out of money.
That’s why, now, in the midst of the worst bear market in a generation, the window for regular folks to get in on “Double Coupon Bonds” is wide open. There’s no big money to buy them all up anymore.
That’s why I wanted to get in touch with you today for a minute or two.
You see, I’ve just put my put my finishing touches on my latest research report, Beat the Bear With “Double Coupon Bonds.” Inside the report are the how’s, the who’s, the where’s, everything you’ll ever need to know about these “Double Coupon Bonds.”
The best part is, I want you to have a copy of the report without risking one red cent of your own money.
In the next few moments, we’ll go over what these have to offer you, how they offer the safety of a bond with all the upside potential of a stock, and I’ll show you how to get your copy instantly.
But before we go too far, we’ve got to get a few things straight about “Double Coupon Bonds.”
Let me tell you this. The last time I released an analysis of “Double Coupon Bonds,” my e-mail inbox was flooded with questions from people like you who wanted to get all the details. There were so many, I could only answer a small fraction of them.
Traffic on my web site set a new record. The number of visitors wanting to learn more tripled overnight.
My analysis was featured on dozens of web sites. It was repeatedly cited by some of the leading financial industry researchers in the world. And it was distributed to more than 300,000 readers.
In fact, I was contacted by the man who the New York Times calls “one of the most sought-after fund managers in the country…after developing an expertise in [Double Coupon Bonds].”
I’ve never seen so much interest in a single idea. But given all the benefits “Double Coupon Bonds” offer, it’s easy to understand why.
I’m not telling you all this to brag. I’m telling it to you because you’d be hard pressed to find someone who knows more about “Double Coupon Bonds” than I do.
I’ve tracked them for over a decade. I’ve always loved the benefits they offer. Now, after a complete market meltdown, they’re cheaper than they’ve been in a generation.
Let me explain to you what a “Double Coupon Bond” is and why now is a better time than ever to be looking at them…
“A better value in bear markets.”
- Los Angeles Business Journal
“Double Coupon Bonds” are one of the most benefit-laden opportunities I’ve ever found. And I’ve uncovered a lot in my time (more on that in a bit).
Most people just gloss over them. They pay a predetermined yield of 8% or 12% or something like that. They’re bonds. They’re boring.
That couldn’t be more wrong – especially now that we’re in a bear market.
The hands down, #1 thing most people just don’t understand about “Double Coupon Bonds” is they are practically designed for bear markets.
In fact, during bad times is when they do best. (This part is critical. So let me explain.)
It’s no secret the world economy is in the tank. Governments around the world are overloaded with debt. Consumers are overloaded with debt. The Dow is down more than 50% in just over year! I could go on and on, but you know how bad things are.
The government solution is the same. Spend, spend, spend. New programs and new benefits all funded by new taxes.
This situation is shaping up to be like the 1970’s all over again. Which is GREAT news for “Double Coupon Bonds.”
Between 1973 and 1977 stocks went nowhere. Over that 4-year period the Dow declined 20%. At its low point, the Dow was off more than 40% (sound familiar?).
It didn’t get much better over the next five years either. Stagflation set in and the stock market went essentially nowhere for almost 10 years. That’s why they call it a “lost decade.”
Needless to say, the 70’s was a tough time to be an investor. But it wasn’t as tough if you were in “Double Coupon Bonds.”
According to historical data, this rare breed of securities outperformed the S&P 500 by 88%!
They truly are, as Forbes magazine reports, “a better value in bear markets.”
On top of all that, they’re less volatile.
It’s all thanks to how they’re put together.
You see, “Double Coupon Bonds” are probably unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. They’re actually a combination of many other popular investments. The best part is, they’re a combination of the best parts of many popular investment vehicles.
Bonds are known for their stability. They’re predictable, reliable, and they usually pay some pretty solid cash payments. They’re for the “widows and orphans” of the financial world.
A few decades ago, before the computers sped everything up, bonds had coupons attached to them.
The coupons were little tabs at the end of the bond. You (or your broker) would tear the coupon off (usually every six months), mail it into the company or government (whoever issued the bond), and they would send you your interest check back.
Pretty long process, right? Well, that is what was done with regular coupon bonds.
The other type of bond is what is called a “zero-coupon” bond. These bonds didn’t have any coupon at all. With zero-coupon bonds, you would collect all the interest and the entire principal (principal is the face value or cost of the bond) when you were paid back.
Zero-coupon bonds make NO cash interest payments throughout the life of the bond.
Pretty plain vanilla stuff I agree. That’s the basics on bonds. But you have to understand that to understand why I’m so excited about “Double Coupon Bonds.”
“Double Coupon Bonds” basically have two “coupons.” One like a regular bond and the other is much more special.
The first “coupon” is just like any other coupon bond. You get your cash payment of 6% or 7%, whatever the rate is, paid to you every few months. (Don’t worry about mailing it in, you get paid automatically nowadays).
The second “coupon” is the real kicker.
It separates them from every other bond you’ve probably ever heard of. This is what pushes the potential gains on “Double Coupon Bonds” into the stratosphere.
You see, this second “coupon” gives you all the upside of the stock. That is, if the value of the company’s stock increases, the second “coupon” will allow you to take advantage of it.
For instance, if you own a “Double Coupon Bond” issued by XYZ Corp. You’ll collect the regular interest payments just like every other bondholder. But with the second “coupon”, If XYZ’s shares go up, you’ll go along for the ride.
It doesn’t matter how much XYZ’s shares go up either. If they go up 20%, 50%, 120%, 500%, or more, you get all of it.
And if it goes down, you get your interest payments. When the bond expires, you get paid back your principal.
Basically, you get all the safety and income of a bond along with all the upside of a stock.
Sounds pretty good, right? Now do you understand why I’ve been researching these for over a decade?
Well, it doesn’t stop there. You see, some of the greatest investors in the world have made absolute fortunes with “Double Coupon Bonds.”
You see, this opportunity to pick up dirt cheap “Double Coupon Bonds” doesn’t come around often. They’re usually some of the most highly sought after financial instruments available.
In the past few months, Wall Street has been struck by a perfect storm of sorts.
The combination of a global market meltdown, overleveraged hedge funds imploding, “zombie” banks who don’t have a penny to lend because they’re still taking huge losses, and the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression sweeping the globe, has created this rare opportunity in “Double Coupon Bonds”
Now, I’ve been waiting for an opportunity like this for years. But I’m not the only one salivating over these.
The man who wrote the book on “Double Coupon Bonds” (literally, wrote a book about them) says this is the best time to get in on them in 30 years.
The world’s greatest investor, Warren Buffett, has parlayed “Double Coupon Bonds” into a fortune.
According to Tom Taulli, a professor at the University of Southern California, “Warren Buffett made himself the second richest person in the United States thanks in part to [Double Coupon Bonds]. That’s Buffett’s preferred method of investing.”
John Calamos, who manages more than $42 billion (as of September 2008), amassed a personal fortune of $1.7 billion thanks to his expertise in “Double Coupon Bonds.” And both are taking this downturn to bet more on double coupon bonds. But there’s so much more to them which we’ll get to in a moment. First, allow me to reintroduce myself.
My name is Andrew Mickey. I’ve been in the financial research business for a few years and bring over a decade of financial experience to the table.
I’ve traveled to all four corners of the earth to uncover the best investment opportunities for my readers and I continue to do so.
In the past few years, in search of great investment opportunities, I’ve travelled to:
- Farmland in Ukraine
- Mining in the Arctic Circle
- Real estate in Moscow, Russia
- Potash and oil in Canada
- Natural gas in Papua New Guinea
That's just to name a few...you can add Australia, Thailand, China, Norway, Albania, Indonesia...well, you get the point.
I’ve also worked with the top management teams in many different Fortune 500 corporations. I’m a very active venture capitalist and advisor to multiple venture capital firms.
I believe that it’s important to get out of the office and explore. It's another to actually know what you're looking for.
My research philosophy is simple: Find the best sources of information with the deepest experience and hands-on knowledge and apply what you’ve learned to making safe, prudent, and successful investments. It’s the only way to do it.
That’s why I often sit down with many leaders in their fields to get the real scoop of what’s going on. In the past few months my readers have heard from real specialists like stem cell insider Dr. Allen Eaves, demographer and best-selling author Harry S. Dent, gold investing guru John Embry, and David Dreman, the man who wrote the book on Contrarian Investing, among many others.
It’s all intended to help us develop a unique and fact-based investment approach. More recently, I had a chance to have a chat with Dr. Thies of the Alzheimer’s Association. Thies is the Chief Medical and Scientific Officer for the national office of the Alzheimer’s Association. He helped start Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association.
Dr. Thies has agreed to go “on-record.” The full transcript has been released to our paid member’s only.
Here’s my philosophy:take what the market gives you
There’s a bit more to it than that, but that’s the basic premise. I’m not a trend follower, a day trader, or have some magical “black box” trading system. I keep it simple and, you know what, it works. More importantly, it works in any market.
You’ve already seen the benefits offered to you by “Double Coupon Bonds,” but there’s a whole lot more out there. Even now – in the worst possible of market conditions.
Let me explain. Sure I put in long hours and have a good bit of experience. But, to be completely forthright with you, I know a lot of people in the financial industry who work hard and have more than three decades experience. And they still get punished routinely by the market.
That’s where I’m probably a bit different. I don’t make excuses or blame the market for anything. You’ll never get anywhere with that attitude. I focus on finding opportunities and results and you should too.
For instance, in July of 2006, my research revealed an impending boom in agriculture was quietly emerging. Growing demand from emerging markets, declining soil quality, and ethanol demand was going to create some big gains in the boring, old farming sector.
No one, and I mean no one, was talking about agriculture at the time.
My colleagues simply brushed off the idea. “The market would never get interested in tractors, corn, and fertilizer,” they would tell me.
Regardless of what the herd was thinking about, I wrote, “Fertilizer producers are going to be delivering market-beating returns to investors over the next couple of years.”
One of my top picks, Mosaic (NYSE:MOS), returned more than 900% in the next 24 months.
Of course, there’s nothing better than catching onto a big boom like the one we saw in agriculture. You’ve got to get out too. If not, you’ll be right back where you started from.
That’s why I was getting real nervous about agriculture last summer. I warned readers to the impending collapse in agriculture and fertilizer stocks in July of 2008.

I wrote, “Fertilizer stocks have had an amazing run. But now, expectations are great. This quarter we’ll get to see their latest earnings. As we’ve learned many times before, great expectations lead to great disappointments.”
Sell!
As you might imagine, the hate mail just flooded in.
At the time, I even recommended shorting shares of Mosaic (in order to profit as
the price of the shares went down). Three months later…Mosaic shares were
down 75%.
It doesn’t stop with just one call though. In December 2007, at the height of the Asian stock craze, I was getting dozens of complaints from my reader’s demanding Chinese stocks recommendations.
All I could say was, “Hong Kong looks like a disaster waiting to happen,” and left it that.
Sure, it wasn’t what my readers wanted to hear (and it undoubtedly cost me a few subscribers in the short term). It wasn’t a popular opinion either. But it was one I stuck too. It was the right thing to do.
Since then, the Hong Kong stock market went on to lose 65% in the next 11 months later and continues to tread along its lows.
The most “ludicrous” of all my calls was in oil. In late 2006, as oil passed $80 a barrel for the first time in two decades, there was no hotter sector than energy.
At the time, I didn’t just call for oil prices to collapse though. I published a 5-part series of articles and a 25-page report on why a bubble was forming in oil.
The end result was a prediction of “oil is going to $30 by 2009.” It was fine to try
and jump in and out of the sector, but watch carefully when because the bubble
will burst – they always do.
And recently, I’ve been spotting opportunities throughout this market downturn.
Long time readers of mine may recall that in late November, two days after the Dow fell to a new low below 7,600, I identified the emerging boom in stem cells. Two months later, right before the Presidential inauguration, stem cells were all soaring to new highs.
I’ve also looked into the “hidden” factors which would allow oil to fall far lower than many people expected. And just recently, when infrastructure stocks were all the rage, we delved into how there was no reason at all for the rally to last.
That’s just a few examples. I could talk all day about past gains I’ve delivered to readers and my approach and rationale (I really could). But I’ll let my readers tell you themselves:
Realistic Approach: “I have totally enjoyed your letters for the past couple of months. I can relate to your realistic approach to the economy and investing…I feel comfortable w/ your advice. Please, keep them up.” – Greg H.
Straight Talk: “…tells it as it is.” – C.H.
Enjoyed it All: “I have been reading you for years and I have to say I’ve enjoyed it all.”
– Anthony R.Reasoned Approach: “Very much appreciate your analysis. Along with all of the geniuses and idiots out there….Good to hear a conservative, reasoned approach to investing.” - Anonymous
Great Calls: “Mickey has made some great calls…I doubled my money.”
I’ve got stacks and stacks of testimonials from other readers, but I think you get the point.
In the end, all that really doesn’t matter. Yes, it proves I’m capable. But you’ve got to be concerned with the future…
…because that’s where the opportunities are. This brings me to what I’m about to offer you today.
Now, you’re already quite familiar with “Double Coupon Bonds.” It’s safe to say they offer just about everything you could want in an investment. And the timing couldn’t be better.
But this bear market has been a tough one. And I’m spotting opportunities and hazards around every corner. Some of the opportunities I’ve found are detailed here. I’ve just put the finishing touches on a few special reports which I’m sure you’ll find very interesting.
Let me give you some examples…
Prudent Investing 101: Make a Fortune in Any Market
In my time, I’ve made a lot of things. A lot of money. A lot of costly mistakes. A lot of fun. A lot of everything.
Through it all I learned some pretty invaluable lessons. Ones which I don’t repeat – ever.
In this report, I go over it all with you. It focuses on the rationale, decision-making, and some other tried and true strategies you’ll never hear from your broker or financial planner.
In this exclusive “Members-Only” report we go over “Where to find market trouncing returns (income, value, growth)” and “What no one ever told you about diversity” and tons of other lessons you won’t get anywhere else.
About a decade ago, Clayton Christensen and Joseph Bower coined the term, “disruptive technologies.” The pair used the term to describe how new technologies will be changing the tech industry landscape very quickly. At the time, the Internet was revolutionizing the way people lived their lives and a few companies were poised to become the new leaders in the field.
In this report, which you can gain access to as soon as you become a member, I detail 5 companies which are making waves in the healthcare industry.
It’s the next great growth area – regardless of which way the global economy heads. Best of all, the industry is ripe for innovation. These companies are on the leading edge of the 5 tidal wave trends that will change the healthcare industry as we know it.
That’s just some of the things we’re working on here.

You see, in the past some of my readers have paid as much as $7,500 to get their hands on all of my research.
But I’m not about to charge you $7,500…not even $2,000…or $1,000. Although other readers have agreed those were fair prices for the unique ideas and forward thinking mentality, that’s just a bit too much in a market like this.
So, I’m cutting the price for a short time only.
The normal asking price for Andrew Mickey’s Prudent Investing is $249 a year.
Even at that price, it’s a super deal. That’s less than 70 cents a day for some of the leading, most-thought provoking research you’ll ever find.
But for a limited time only, and only to first time subscribers, I’m offering the introductory price of $99 per year. That’s right. You can get all this for less than 30 cents a day .

Still though, I would like you to try out Andrew Mickey’s Prudent Investing for the next 3 months completely risk free.
