Not since 1933 will housing prices nationally fall as sharply as in 2008. Consumers will have to depend on income, not borrowing against assets. And this happens in year one of the Great Boomer Retirement Adventure.
Will consumers in developing countries pick up the slack? Americans spend five times more than all of India and China combined, so I wouldn’t count on it.
Who’s to blame? The central bankers created a steroid-driven market with its derivative creations, and the Federal Reserve signed off on the lethal cocktail.
How do we profit? High-dividend stocks, companies with significant non-U.S. exposure, hard assets and natural resources and, for those equipped with oven mitts, some smoldering briquettes you can pick out of the rubble for pennies on the dollar.
But before I get to that, my first question to you is this: How will you prepare for what every financial conservative believes is a nightmare?
The biggest mistake you can make now is: wait. Wait for the market to come back, for the credit crisis to resolve. Worst of all: wait for the election.
You don’t have time. And what you must do is best done today. (Continue reading to find out how to play this volatile market. And also be sure to check out: "You Can Make Money on the Failing Financials" and "Balancing Risks & Rewards.")
Prosperity will continue to elude more and more Americans after this election. Barely one taxpayer in 200 will experience real income growth in 2009, according to Young Research.
I want you to be one of those who are bold enough to reach out for prosperity.
Do it now. Here’s how to get started:
Unlock America’s Great Treasure Chest of Energy
In North Dakota today, there is a newly-minted millionaire, dusting off his mesh cap. One new millionaire is being made every day by these high oil prices.
If you’d like to become one yourself, focus on domestic exploration, domestic drilling and domestic processing, refining and pipeline initiatives.
This is not the ordinary, 10% here, 20% there variety of wealth. This is wealth of the Jed Clampett sort.
The Great American Oil Boom is happening right now and my question is…
>
Are you a part of it?
The Marcellus shale reserve in southwest Pennsylvania contains up to 516 trillion cubic feet of gas. The price of gas could double from here and still it would be cheap.
The Bakken oil shale in North Dakota contains up to 300 billion barrels of oil.
I bet you never even heard of the little wildcatter that’s getting first dibs on all of this, but I can tell you this: Up in North Dakota, they’re already naming their grandchildren after the company—out of sheer gratitude.
The stock was up 73% in just 4 months, but that doesn’t impress me. This is a long-term wealth-builder, not a speculative play on oil prices.
The First Way We Profit
Buy into domestic minor-league oil and gas explorers.
These are the unsung heroes of the oil patch. You won’t see their CEOs on TV with fluffy hair, and you’ll NEVER hear a squeak about them out of Cramer’s pump-and-dump operation, either. But they do issue earnings and the next report is out in precisely 49 days.
Buy before—and kick back alongside our North Dakota pals to enjoy the fireworks.

The Second Way We Profit
Home-grown pipeline layers and refiners are the second way to get rich in high oil prices.
Buckeye Partners pumped out a sweet mix of dividends, safety and growth (total return was 20%) for Young’s Intelligence Report subscribers for many years.
With a Price-to-Earnings ratio of just 14 and still not enough pipelines in the U.S. to meet demand, it’s a no-brainer.
Kinder Morgan’s pipeline business is simple and predictable—huge pluses in this particular business. The company’s new pipeline gets natural gas from the Rockies to Pennsylvania for the first efficient market in this resource ever. It will be open in the next few months and pumping cash (a 7% yield!) to shareholders immediately.
In your FREE report, The U.S. Oil Boom, you’ll get details on these two ways to profit safely, right here in the U.S., from oil’s high prices.
With everything going on in the market you might be wondering which stocks will thrive in this tumultuous environment. Bluntly, there won’t be many—but they will do extremely well. These stocks have fat dividends and growing operating margins, their earnings are accelerating and analysts are falling over themselves to revise their estimates upwards. Even better: Their business isn’t tied to the health of the U.S. economy. Which stocks should you be buying now—find out now in The 26 Winners of 2009.
