1967’s Monterey International Pop Festival was a catalyst for a financial tidal wave in the pop music industry that lasted an entire decade. My 2008-based Big Idea hitched to the luxury goods supercycle is much the same, if not a whole lot more. Read this month’s issue to find out more about the impact this will have on babyboomer retirements. Also this month, I have a special guide on high-yield investing, along with quite a few new Monster Master List stocks and an update on our agricultural commodities portfolio. Make it a good month.

Timing is everything … but good timing is not just a matter of luck. It’s the product of good fortune, and one makes one’s own good
fortune by creating the right environment to allow good things to happen. If you look at this month’s Economic Analysis, you will see more evidence
about your good fortune—namely our awesome success in picking highly profitable mutual funds and stocks! This month, I have a detailed look at
my top 10 stocks to buy today. Finally, we had so many excellent questions for this year’s annual Q&A that I had to add a bonus section. Check
out this month’s issue for all the details. Make it a good month.

What’s up for 2007? The year before a presidential election is filled with many empty promises from aspiring candidates, always a plus for the stock market.
The goal of this month’s issue is to help you defeat inertia and take immediate action on your investments. I begin the issue with an overview
of one of the greatest companies in the world and why you should go out and buy it today! This issue is also filled with answers to many of your questions
in my annual Q&A special section.

The experts say…”stratospheric oil prices are here to stay and the housing bubble will not burst.” I disagree, and I give you the reasons why for both of these topics. I also discuss hedge funds, the US$ and a slowing world economy, but there still is a lot to be enthusiastic about. This month’s issue is loaded with great opportunities for you in funds (new and old friends), gold and stocks that should capture your attention. All of these stocks and funds connect to my Big Ideas and the impact of China’s growth on the world economy. I also have 2 stocks that I want you to sell and a merger that I want you to buy. I have also added 16 new charts to my Economic Analysis to help you understand what is going on in the world. The August issue is filled with great opportunities for you. This will be the issue that helps you overcome the inertia and take action.
