Investment Forecast: Why 2012 Will Be the Year of the "Micro Boom"
Forget about "buy-and-hold" investing.
Going the total blue-chip route won't help, either.
Even that grand old investment standby – indexing – figures to be a loser in the 12 months to come.
As an investor looking to maximize your profits in the New Year, you need only understand one thing – that 2012 will be the year of the "Micro Boom."
Never heard the term before?
That's okay … Micro-Boom investing is a different kind of investing strategy for what's shaping up to be a very different kind of market.
But make no mistake: These little-known profit machines will separate the winners from the losers in the New Year.
Let me explain …
Micro Booms are small pockets of intense growth … that can lead to stunning profits.
Don't confuse Micro-Boom investing with sector investing – they're not the same at all. Micro Booms are much more focused, much more intense – and far more profitable.
Take, for instance, the "Bakken Boom."
It's unfolding in North Dakota, and is being compared to a "modern-day gold rush." But it's not gold the profit-seekers are pursuing … it's oil from the Bakken Shale oil deposits located there.
Big Oil is investing $2 billion each month in pursuit of Bakken business. And the urgency is so intense that some towns in that region have seen their unemployment rate go all the way to zero.
And the Bakken Boom is just one of a half-dozen of these tectonic growth plays – some of which offer investors the chance to make five times their money … or even more.
But it's not enough just to identify these Micro Booms – to maximize profits an investor must be able to identify the biggest beneficiaries of all this growth, since those will also be the greatest profit opportunities.

The Five Stocks You Have to Own in 2012
An energy play that's poised for a 50% gain – that will pay you more than 9% on your
money while you wait …
A global tech play that has a unique solution to the single-biggest danger that we face in this
new Information Age - and that will reward its shareholders with a gain of as much as 99% ….
And a low-priced stock in the industry we believe will be the focus of Wall Street's next
big takeover wave. (Hint: The company is one of the few gold-mining stocks most individual
investors have likely never heard of – but would be smart to own) ….
I've included all three of these recommendations – and several more, besides – in today's
report. It's free..
You see, in the four months that followed our Aug. 11 launch of Private Briefing, the feedback has been terrific.

Free Briefing: Invest in the One Technology That Will Dominate the Planet
When you think of "mobile" or "connected" devices, you probably picture that new smartphone you just bought, and maybe your Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) iPad2.
Well, I'm here to tell you that you're thinking too small.
Way too small.
By 2020, there will be 50 billion connected devices in use worldwide.
That's not a typo. And it's not a "hyped" estimate that we came up with internally. In fact, the estimate was made by Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (Nasdaq ADR: ERIC), one of the largest telecommunications companies on the planet, in the research report "More Than 50 Billion Connected Devices."
That creates a lot of significant risks.
But for savvy investors, it creates one hellacious profit opportunity. And – as you'll have the opportunity to see in a free investment briefing on Monday, there's one company in particular that's poised to profit.

SIPO Stocks: How to Profit From the Money Machine Wall Street Hopes You Won't Discover
They're called "SIPO" stocks.
They pack a massive profit punch.
And they're one of Wall Street's best-kept secrets.
In fact, Wall Street's faceless investment banks would be just as happy if you didn't know that SIPO stocks existed.
That's why it took an ex-Wall Streeter like Shah Gilani to break the silence, and to bring these stocks – and the profit opportunity they represent – right to you.
"SIPOS are as close to an entrepreneur's fantasy as you can get, without the uncertainties that come with their cousins – IPOs," says Gilani, a retired hedge-fund manager and Money Morning columnist whose investigative essays have helped thousands of Main Street investors dodge Wall Street's ruinous cons. "If you're looking for relatively low risk, deep value and multiple paths to profitability for the company and your investment, SIPOS are virtually in a category all by themselves."
That's why Gilani has created a new advisory service (click here to find out more) that's designed to exploit this hefty profit play – albeit one with a surprisingly low-risk profile.

Goldman Sachs Says Oil Prices Will Soar to $130 in 12 Months … We Told You That Weeks Ago
Wall Street heavyweight Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) is now predicting that oil prices will soar in the next 12 months, with London-traded Brent crude reaching $130 a barrel and U.S.-traded West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude reaching $126.50.
The fact that oil prices will soar wasn't a surprise to readers of Private Briefing – we made a similar prediction to the charter subscribers of our new premium investment-advisory service six weeks ago.
Furthermore, we showed subscribers how to profit.
Goldman analysts really believe that oil prices will soar: From Monday's closing prices ($110.30 for Brent and $86.92 for WTI), the heavyweight investment bank's 12-month target prices for oil would represent an 18% gain for the London-traded crude and a 46% gain for its U.S.-traded counterpart.
Worries that the U.S. malaise and Eurozone debt crises would sap global demand have caused oil prices to fall from higher levels back in the spring. In its forecast, Goldman echoed some of the same points that we have made repeatedly to Private Briefing readers since it debuted back on Aug. 11 – namely that demand in China, India and other emerging markets would compensate for weak growth in the developed economies.
The bottom line: There's little doubt oil prices will soar. That makes oil-related stocks – and energy investments in general – "must have" portfolio holdings.
The only question is: How do you play it?
Here at Money Morning, and also in Private Briefing, our experts have said this time and again: The time to make energy-related investments is when energy prices are low. Although Private Briefing has been around for just a bit more than a month, subscribers who have followed our energy-related recommendations have already logged some nice returns of as much as 18%.
And there's plenty of upside to come.
Some of the energy-related columns that we've already published include:
