Hello! It’s good to write you again. Please forgive me for not getting out this newsletter sooner but some temporary obstacles did get in the way during the remaining months of 2005. I look forward to providing you with a high-quality ezine for this month and every month this year and beyond. With that, I want to give you some insights into what I feel is the best opportunity to grow your hard-earned for the next few years. I will share with you what I feel has the best chance of making you richer faster and more assuredly that any other investment vehicle in the world today. But before I get to that exciting commentary, let’s take a moment to do what everyone does in January; a review of 2005.

How did the markets do? And more importantly, how did you and I do? Here are the results for the major markets for 2005:

How about some of my favorite stocks?  

The above is not a complete list of all the stocks that I have researched and shared with my students and clients but it does show some typical results. Exciting results. 2006 has the potential for being even more fruitful due to increasingly bullish fundamentals for the world of precious metals, commodities and energy. In this issue of PA, I want to focus on what is my choice as the top investment opportunity.

My Favorite Speculation is Silver

It may finally make a major up move this year. The bullish fundamentals are now better than ever and I think that everyone out there should consider (at the very least) a modest

amount of silver in their portfolios. There are many ways to make a play on silver but I seriously look at 4 ways to play silver:

1. Silver eagle bullion coins. This is the safest and least expensive way to add silver to your portfolio. Silver eagles are minted by the US Treasury and can be purchased through many coin dealers. As of early January 06, you can probably buy one at about $11 and change so a roll of 20 can be had for about $200-$230. Shop around. Call several dealers and get quotes. Among the ones that I believe are honest can be found at websites such as www.investmentrarities.com, www.swissamerica.com and www.amergold.com. Keep in mind that I am referring to bullion coins and not numismatic coins. Don’t get me wrong; numismatic coins (collectible coins) can be great but you need to be extra careful since you must deal with issues such as condition (grade), age, mint, dealer mark-ups and so on. If you still want numismatic coins, do your homework with consumer tips from places such as the American Numismatic Association (www.ana.org).
2. Silver mining stocks. If silver does make a major upside move in the coming months and years then silver mining stocks will do very well. Some companies to investigate are Silver Standard (SSRI), Pan American Silver (PAAS) and Silver Wheaton (SLW). Before you make any investments, do your due diligence and review your potential choices with your financial advisor. There are some excellent services that can help you choose such as David Morgan’s newsletter at www.silver-investor.com and Jason Hommel’s www.silverstockreport.com.
3. Silver Futures. Be very careful here. Futures can be a high-risk, high-volatility venue. Consider it speculative in spite of the bullish factors swirling around silver. You can learn more at places such as the New York Mercantile Exchange (their website is www.nymex.com).
4. Options. There are options on silver and also on silver mining companies. These can also be risky and speculative so do your homework. Options on silver can also be researched at www.nymex.com while options on silver mining companies are listed at the Chicago Board Options Exchange (www.cboe.com).

As always, do your research and speak with your financial advisor. I do believe that the research and the data offer a bullish scenario that is quite compelling. I am on public record as forecasting that silver will hit $50 within the next few years.

Recently, some news has come to light that further the bullish case for silver. Here are some points to ponder:

• As of late 2005, China has announced that it will no longer be a net exporter of silver. It will become a net importer. What will happen to the price of silver as their voracious economy keeps up its appetite for commodities?
• Many new uses for silver are being found. In late 2005 the healthcare and biotech industries are finding that silver is excellent in antiviral and antibacterial applications.
• In the fall of 2005, a mining industry study reported a deficit of 40+ million ounces of silver in the market. Demand is exceeding supply.
• The long-awaited Silver Exchange-traded Fund (ETF) looks likely to be approved and may start trading in early 2006. This is significant since as much as 130 million ounces may be removed from the marketplace to back up this security. The Silver Users Association opposed the creation of the ETF because it could place a tremendous strain on already tight supplies.
