A Stock-Market Tale: An E-Mail, An Energy Stock And the Best Market Intelligence I've Ever Seen

My name is Bill Patalon, and I have an interesting story to tell you. It involves an exciting e-mail, an alluring energy stock and the smartest group of global-investing experts I've ever seen.

Let's call it a "stock-market tale."

It all started with an e-mail ...

One Whale of an E-Mail

Nearly five years ago, after a two-decade career as an award-winning business journalist, I was hired to develop, launch and manage Money Morning. It's now one of the best sources of global-investing news you'll find anywhere.

And the job itself is a real kick. As the executive editor, I enjoy daily "private briefings" with some of the smartest investors in the business - including oil-and-energy consultant Dr. Kent Moors, retired hedge fund manager Shah Gilani, and former global merchant banker Martin Hutchinson.

Earlier this week, the renowned global-macro strategist Jack Barnes sent me an e-mail that started out like this ...

"Bill, you need to check this out!"

And it only got better from there.

Wrote Jack: "I've uncovered an oil-and-gas player that's very quietly beating analyst estimates on a quarter-over-quarter basis - I mean, this company is just blowing out estimates to the upside!"

Here's the thing about Barnes: As a former hedge-fund manager whose intergalactic performance numbers (an 83% gain one year) eventually induced Forbes magazine to name him the top stock picker in its "Armchair Investors Who Beat the Pros" competition, he doesn't resort to phony hype or time-wasting hyperbole.

But Barnes does have a penchant for uncovering hidden investment gems that deliver a hefty profit payoff.

He's done that repeatedly in the "Buy, Sell or Hold" features that he writes each week for Money Morning.

However, Barnes has saved some of his highest-profit-potential picks for Private Briefing, the premium advisory service that gives subscribers access to the latest insights and recommendations from our band of global-investing experts. Some of these stocks have ties to our other "premium" trading services. Others are too thinly traded to give to 750,000 readers - but have a huge potential upside.

That latter point pretty much describes the energy stock that Barnes e-mailed me about this week. In fact, after reading the rest of his e-mail, I knew that Barnes had "hit the ammo dump" - yet again. This energy stock he discovered promises to be the latest in a line of great market calls that our experts have made for Private Briefing, our newest advisory service.

The Start of Your Own Stock-Market Tale

Private Briefing just celebrated its one-month anniversary. But we've made those first four weeks count. For instance, in that first month our global-investing gurus have:

  • Profiled a little-known biotech stock whose shares soared 25% in the first three days after we recommended it.
  • Warned readers to hedge their gold profits - one day before that key precious metal had its third-worst down day ever.
  • Recommended a small-cap energy play whose shares are already up more than 15%.
  • Uncovered two high-yielding dividend stocks (one yielding more than 8% and another more than 9%) - and predicted a return of 50% or more for one of them.
  • And predicted that upcoming reports on employment, inflation and the economy would fall short of what was expected, allowing our subscribers to prepare for the market fallout.

Charter subscribers to this service get all this - and more - for just $5 a month.

To hear the "rest of the story" about the energy stock that Jack Barnes discovered, you need to sign up for Private Briefing and then check out the special report "This is the e-mail that Jack sent me"). To do that, please just click here.
