The Googleconomy

By Louis Navellier, Editor, Growth Investor

<p>Here at <em>Blue Chip Growth </em>we're wrapping up another stellar year. This looks to be the eighth time in the last ten years that we've beaten the market. All told, the stocks on our Buy List are up more than 240% since 1998, which is nearly <em>three times</em> better than the rest of the market.</p> <p> One of the reasons we've been so successful at <em>Blue Chip</em> is that we've been able to spot important new technologies that have radically altered the business landscape. We made big profits in companies like Dell, Cisco and Microsoft right as these companies were hitting their stride.</p> <p> When I look at the tech universe today, perhaps the most revolutionary company is <strong>Google </strong>(GOOG). I've recommend shares of the search engine giant in my <em>Blue Chip</em> service for over two years, and we've more than doubled our money. The good news is that I expect to see even more gains in the weeks and months ahead. </p> <p> Now I know what you're thinking, "Big deal, Louie, <em>everyone</em> recommends Google!" And that's true. However, what I want to tell you about today is the effect that Google is having on the business environment. Most investors don't understand how important this is. Google is changing so much of what we do, from how we shop to how we communicate.</p>

Why 8 out of 10 Investors Fail to Beat the Market

By Louis Navellier, Editor, Growth Investor

<p>It's estimated that every year eight out of 10 investors fail to beat the market. That's a whopping 80%!</p> <p> Are you one of them? Or maybe you're just a few steps away from becoming one of them. It's not out of the question for most folks. And while that may be a difficult reality to face, doing so can mean the difference between 2008 being just another average year of profits vs. 2008 being an investing year to remember.</p> <p> So how can you make sure you're putting your best foot forward in 2008?</p> <p>Well, I have <em>eight simple "rules"</em> that you should follow—as soon as possible. If you begin to follow these "rules" now, you'll see an improvement in your portfolio performance as soon as January 1.</p> <p> I should tell you that these rules are for <em>stock investors only</em>. Specifically stock investors who want to not just beat the market, but down right clobber it—no matter what the market has in store.</p>

Finding the Next Stock Popper

By Louis Navellier, Editor, Growth Investor

<p>This is the high tide of earnings season, and I have to confess how excited I am. Ten of my <em>Emerging Growth</em> stocks reported earnings last week including one of my favorites, <strong>Transcend Services</strong> (TRCR). As I've come to expect, their earnings report was outstanding—profits jumped more than fivefold and the stock popped 20%.</p> <p> Now that's what <em>Emerging Growth</em> investing is all about.</p> <p> Earnings season is basically Judgment Day for every stock. Trust me, corporate executives like to talk a good game during the quarter, but now is when companies have to show the goods. Or in many cases, explain the bads.</p> <p> Earnings season is all about finding stock "poppers" like Transcend. These are stocks that vault up 10%, 20%, 30% or more on the day of their earnings announcement, and often continue to rally as institutional investors scramble to buy more shares. <strong>Apple</strong> (AAPL), another <em>Emerging Growth</em> favorite, just reported stellar earnings and the stock is up 20% for the month.</p>

The Little Book That Makes You Rich

By Louis Navellier, Editor, Growth Investor

<p>A life-long dream of mine to write a book for individual investors has just come true. I'm very happy to announce the release of my new book, <em>The Little Book That Makes You Rich: A Proven Market-Beating Formula for Growth Investing</em>. Even better, I'm thrilled to tell you that it's already earning rave reviews from the <em>NY Times</em>— the <em>Financial Times</em>—even <em>BusinessWeek</em> included a 2-page spread about it last week!</p> <p>Inside this Little Book, for the first time, I've described in complete detail my strategy that's been able to beat the market year after year for over 20 years. Best of all, I've made the book as fun and easy-to-use as possible. I promise there are no equations or weird Wall Street jargon. Just a powerful, <em>proven formula</em> to help you find today's market-beating growth stocks. </p> <p>"<em>Can your book make me richer than Jim Cramer's book—or frankly any of the other financial books out there?"</em> That was the question Gregg Greenberg on Street.com TV asked me point-blank at the start of our interview last Thursday. It's a fair question given the title of the book, and it's likely a question you may yourself be asking. So let me say this, the strategy to riches I reveal in this book, is the strategy that's gotten me where I am today. I wasn't born into money; I studied hard, learned about the stock market and uncovered a market-beating formula <em>that works</em>.</p>

The Seismic Shift from Value to Growth

By Louis Navellier, Editor, Growth Investor

<p>While Wall Street is focused on the Federal Reserve and all the talking heads are debating Ben Bernanke's next move, I have to let you in on a secret—that's not where the real action is. No, the really big development on Wall Street is the dramatic shift out of value stocks and into growth stocks.</p> <p> Write this down because it's going to be the leading market theme for the next several months. Institutional investors have been quietly dumping value stocks and are slowly picking up shares in many major growth stocks. Not only is this a big move, but it's happening right under the noses of individual investors. Already this year, the Russell 1000 Growth Index is up 12.35%, which is twice as much as the Russell 1000 Value Index—and the gap is about to get much wider.</p> <p> My money management firm just completed a thorough analysis of the growth and value sectors, and we still see enormous opportunities in growth stocks.</p>

A Stock-Pickers Paradise

By Louis Navellier, Editor, Growth Investor

<p>Last week Goldman Sachs (GS) reported that its earnings jumped 79% last quarter. Whereas Bear Stearns (BSC) reported that its earnings plunged 61% in the same quarter.</p> <p> Think about that. Two companies that are in the same industry working in the same environment and facing the same obstacles but had earnings that came to radically different results.</p> <p> How could this have happened?</p> <p> The answer is very complicated, but I'll give you the short version. Goldman made some very smart moves and Bear made some very dumb moves. Sometimes business is as simple as that.</p> <p> This is an important lesson for all investors. Being in the right sector isn't enough. You need to own fundamentally superior stocks as well.</p> <p> In my <em>Blue Chip Growth Letter</em>, that's exactly what I show investors how to do. I've been able to beat the market for over 20 years by focusing on leading companies in all kinds of sectors.</p> <p> My advice to you is, don't be fooled by sector investing. Lots of times a company can look great on the outside, but that's simply because it's in a hot sector. Wall Street tends to behave like a manic crowd. If something is hot, they'll keep buying.</p>

Why So Many Hedges Blew Up-and How to Avoid Their Mistakes

By Louis Navellier, Editor, Growth Investor

<p>The charade is over! For the past couple of years, a lot of folks on Wall Street were pretending to be something they're not. Mathematicians were posing as financial experts, strutting into town determined to make a quick buck. With their sophisticated computer programs in place, they pumped more than <em>$100 billion</em> into complex investment vehicles known as arbitrage hedge funds.</p> <p> I'm sure you've heard about this investment trend in the news lately, but if not, let me tell you a little bit more about it. Arbitrage investing is when someone buys a security in one market and then sells it in another market for a quick profit. Traders in the Japanese yen carry-trade, for instance, buy Japanese currency and then convert it into another currency, profiting from the difference in interest rates. It's quick and easy, and it can be very rewarding.</p> <p> Traders and hedge funds invested in these super-risky investments and were bursting at the seams with subprime loans. Others placed big bets on the idea that financial stocks would continue to plummet and sold them short.</p>

The Right Place for Your Money, Right Now

By Louis Navellier, Editor, Growth Investor

<p>Investors who got themselves into trouble by following their silver-dollar deals are now realizing they've been left with wooden nickels. </p> <p>Need some new locations to pour your money into? Blue Chip stocks are just the safe haven you may be looking for.</p> <p>You need only look at the boom the technology market is seeing, or the resource that the agriculture sector has become, to notice that blue chip investors have their money in the right place right now. And it's just a matter of time before the rest of the investing world begins to follow our lead.</p> <p>How can I be happy in such a volatile market environment?</p> <p>It's because <em>Blue Chip Growth</em> stocks are rebounders. They take a beating one day, but then eventually rise back above and beyond expectations. That's because we follow a fundamentally focused quantitative formula. We don't get weighed down by those quirky arbitrage stocks. And we weed away any possible losers to make room for future gains.</p> <p>For example, because the housing market fallout has affected several hedge funds, I urged <em>Blue Chip Growth</em> subscribers to sell Goldman Sachs(GS) last week. The fact that traders have had conflicting reports about the size of this fund's losses is only adding to the turmoil—so I urge you to bail out of GS too. </p> <p>Mind you, even after the sell-off, we banked 18% gains in 14 months. It sounds a little smug, but <em>Blue Chip Growth</em> readers are happy.</p>

A China/India Doubler

By Louis Navellier, Editor, Growth Investor

The greatest economic war the world has ever seen is headed your way, and there's no stopping it. A major battle between China and India for control of U.S. financial markets is unfolding, and it's about to affect everything you own for years to come. Could it really be as monumental as I am contending? A lot of you may be shaking your heads ‘no’, for if it were, you’d surely have heard a deafening amount of news regarding the subject, right? Wrong! Tragically, the financial media is totally blind to what's going on. They see two separate growing nations. I see the mammoth economic battle that's brewing between them and the opportunities that are emerging. Let me share with you the far-reaching implications that are about to transform our country, our economy, and your future financial security—and tell you about one stock that could easily double as a result.
