Are You Outperforming the S&P
by 176% Like We Are?

 
 

David Fried’s Buyback Letter Premium Edition is a focused, high-octane strategy for experienced, elite investors. The Buyback Premium Portfolio was born when Fried noticed something important about his personal “watch list portfolio” -- where he carefully researches and monitors the progress of potential buy list stocks for The Buyback Letter.

After awhile, he noticed that his research portfolio was performing extremely well, so he did a 10-year backtest of this portfolio's performance. To his amazement, he found that this "watch list" portfolio averaged 38% annual returns. That's not a misprint. 38% returns per year! At that annual compounded rate, you would double your money every 1.8 years.

Now, the Buyback Premium Portfolio holds only the five buyback stocks that are performing better than all the rest ... right now. All others are automatically weeded out. Hot stocks go in; merely warm stocks are ushered out. So when his stocks soar, laggards do not dilute the portfolio's performance. Since its inception in 2000, David Fried's Buyback Letter Premium Edition has returned 179.5% (as of November 30, 2007). That means that his 5-stock portfolio is outperforming the S&P 500 by 176.5%, the DJIA by 154.3% and the NASDAQ by 206.7%, all since inception.

Need more proof? This is the kind of performance his subscribers are enjoying:

  • Cleveland Cliffs (CLF), bought in May 2007 and sold a month later for a gain of +27%
  • Honda Motor Co. (HMC), bought in May 2007 and sold 2 months later for a gain of +10%.

  • Sunoco (SUN), bought in January 2005 and sold 2 months later for a 24% gain.
  • KB Home (KBH), bought in January 2005 and sold 3 months later in for a 16% gain.
  • U.S. Oncology (USON), bought in December 2003 and sold 2 months later in February 2004 for a gain of 49.27%.
  • Wesco International (WCC), bought in August 2004 and sold 3 months later for a gain of 24.89%.
  • Pediatrix Medical Group (PDX), bought in July 2003 and sold 6 months later for a gain of 53.69%.
  • Cable & Wireless (CWP), bought in October 2003 and sold 3 months later for a gain of 25.30%.
  • Tektronix (TEK), also bought in October 2003 and sold 3 months later for a gain of 27.49%.

These are the 5 hottest buyback stocks available, primed to go up. How do we know? Because by repurchasing shares, company management has signaled its extreme optimism about the future and believes the current share price is too low. Senior executives, board members and other insiders know their companies' prospects better than anyone. So when they use company money to buy back stock, you know higher prices are just ahead. Buybacks also increase EPS and the value of each share, since there are fewer shares outstanding.

On the first few trading days of each month, Premium subscribers get a monthly e-mail with clear buy, hold and sell instructions, so you can act fast – before Wall Street. You also have access to charts tracking portfolio value. Soon after, he follows up with a complete rundown on these stocks to lend details about why he thinks these are the stocks to invest in this month.

With the Buyback Premium Portfolio, Fried goes the extra mile to maximize your profits with the best buybacks for today. For example:

  • He painstakingly examines hundreds of corporate buyback announcements, checking to make sure they actually buy back their stocks. A surprisingly large number don't.
  • He makes sure the stock buyback is large enough to have a real impact on the value of the stock.
  • Then he puts the company under a financial microscope, thoroughly investigating its annual reports, SEC filings and other key documents. He rigorously examines its financial strength, cash flow, prospects for growth, contracts, and other critical indicators to make sure the company is rock-solid and its stock is reasonably priced.

The stocks in the Buyback Premium Portfolio all boast robust earnings, reasonable valuations, stellar management and excellent growth potential. Only a handful of stocks pass his rigorous standards, and only the five "best of the best" are recommended in the Buyback Premium Portfolio.

Fried is not alone in saying that buyback stocks are a way to consistent stock market profits. A major 20-year study showed that in each four-year period, investors in buyback stocks with high book-to-market ratios enjoyed 388% higher returns than other stocks. The difference in the bottom line for investors is staggering. If you had invested $10,000 in a typical S&P 500 portfolio over the last 10 years, your money would have grown to $67,917. Not bad. But investing the same $10,000 exclusively into buyback stocks would have returned $130,254. Almost $70,000 more in profits, double the return! Subscribe Today!
