From the individual investor resource Wired magazine calls "sharp,
up-to-the-minute financial advice" and The Economist dubbed "an ethical oasis":

Your special priority invitation to Motley Fool Pro is now here…

You've heard the rumours, and seen the special dispatches from Joe Magyer and his Motley Fool Pro team. NOW you have a small window of opportunity to make a bold choice…

The kind of choice you could one day look back on with the sense of pride and accomplishment that only comes with seizing a life changing opportunity – will you join us?

Tuesday, March 17, 2015

Dear Fellow Investor,

This time last year I placed the biggest single bet of my entire 25-year investing career…

I sat down and wrote out a cheque for $250,000.

Now I should tell you, I'm a regular bloke just like you. Married, 3 children, living in the suburbs.

If there's one thing I hate it's losing money…

But if there's one thing I hate just as much is missing a chance to succeed on a large scale… And I believe deep down, doing things myself almost always leads to better outcomes.

Here's something else, that's bred-in-the-bone so to speak… I don't plan to run out of money in retirement. In fact, I'd like to leave my children and grandchildren a decent inheritance.

That's why that cheque was such a big deal for me, and my family. But I'm happy to say that today I feel as confident and liberated as I've ever felt!

That's because I'm well on track to "repay" myself the $250,000 in a few short years… Once I've turned it into a nest egg worth well more than $1 million dollars!

Now I realise this is a tall order, even in the best of times. But once I show you my calculations –and introduce you to the man recognised as one of the top performing stock pickers in the entire world over the last 5 years according to The Wall Street Journal…

A man whom you may recognise from his frequent appearances on CNBC and Sky News Business — and certainly from our recent video series where he reported live from China…

I think you'll agree, it's opportunities like this when the foundations of personal fortunes are built…

And I'd like you to join me!

First thing I should mention, though, is you don't need to commit or even have $250,000 to take part in this historic treasure hunt. You can benefit and grow nearly any amount of money with what, and who, I'm about to introduce you to.

The fact that I'm putting $250,000 of my own personal money to work, and The Motley Fool is committing $1 million more should suggest only one thing: just how confident we are in this…

Introducing Motley Fool Pro – a real money portfolio built from the ground up and managed in full view of Pro members!

What you're about to discover may surprise you. And it will almost certainly empower you. As far as I know, there's no other service of this kind in Australia.

Frankly, this could change the way you view the stock market… investing… and even life's fortunes.

It begins with one of the most talented stock pickers and investors you'll ever meet. Chiselling into a world of opportunities with $1 million dollars, right in front of your eyes…

Identifying for you the very best investments to own right now. Period.

I'm talking growth stocks, value investments, small caps, dividend payers, ETFs, special situations, tech stocks, you name it.

But there's an even deeper layer here — Motley Fool Pro's "secret sauce."

You're going see first hand how much of each investment to own. How to fit vastly different types of investments together into an armour plated, optimised growth portfolio…

You'll know when to acquire shares… when to add to your positions… when to trim back a holding… and when to take profits and redeploy your capital.

In short, this could become the ultimate resource for ASX investors. And it might be the most important service The Motley Fool Australia ever offers.

As you might expect, there are a great many people waiting for this moment and this Pro invitation to arrive.

(After all, this is the FIRST time in nearly a year we've opened the door to new members! And it's true that just 1,500 spots are available to new members today.)

To better understand why there are so many ASX and Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF) investors eager to join Motley Fool Pro now, let's examine the first of the 3 available-nowhere-else advantages for investors like you and me:

Pro Member Advantage No. 1 – You can watch all of Motley Fool Pro's stock selections and then "front run" our $1 million real money portfolio!

You've probably heard the term "front running" before. But did you ever wonder where it comes from?

The term dates to the earliest days of the venerable stock exchanges in places like London and New York. When stock deals were transacted right out on the trading floor in plain sight. Clever young traders watched as representatives of the big money clients sauntered from post to post, placing their buys and sells. And it dawned on them…

If they could literally "run" in front of these guys on the floor and get their own smaller orders placed first — ahead of the big money — they would boost their odds of getting a better price.

Now, when we talk about "front-running" here's what we mean…

Motley Fool Pro members will always know exactly what stocks we're buying … and exactly how much we're going to buy of each… you will be alerted BEFORE WE MAKE OUR TRADES.

That way, you always have the opportunity to get in — or get out — first, even before we do (with The Motley Fool's money and my personal money). As a member of Motley Fool Pro, you will come first, ALWAYS.

And here's something else you're going to like: over the next 5, 10, even the next 15 years, I fully expect Motley Fool Pro not only beat the market soundly, but to multiply our money many, many times over.

Why am I so confident? That's a very fair question. As I've said, we're already well on track. In the 11 months since Motley Fool Pro launched, the real-money portfolio Joe manages in full view of members is up 17.7%, soundly out-performing the All Ords index.

But to really understand the long-term potential here, I'd suggest we take a look at the longer track record…

How America's best investor doubled the money of a handful of investors in less than 5 years. And how he plans to do it for YOU…

Now, when you work at a company like The Motley Fool where people are personally acquainted with Warren Buffett – or personally responsible for 100X stock gains, like Motley Fool Co-founder, David Gardner – throwing around a title like "America's best investor" is dangerous.

You'd better have some hard facts to back up your case:

1. Joe Magyer's last investment service, Motley Fool Inside Value, was among the five best-performing advisories over the past five years…
2. During his tenure, a full SEVEN of Joe's Inside Value picks more than DOUBLED. I'll tell you about a couple of them in detail just ahead…
3. Joe Magyer's official recommendations to his Motley Fool Inside Value newsletter readers were so reliably successful that the service beat the return of the Wilshire 5000 index for SEVEN YEARS RUNNING. I believe Joe may be the ONLY INVESTOR IN THE WORLD who can make this claim.

Joe's investing record is one reason I'm so confident we can make a bundle with the exclusive ASX trades you'll find inside Motley Fool Pro. The second reason may surprise you, especially given what too often passes for sound investment advice from television and online sources these days.

We are pursuing the ONLY strategy that's PROVEN to build wealth for investors like us.

And by that I don't mean making broad market calls, reading charts, or jumping in and out of individual stocks.

No, I mean the exact same battle-tested strategy that made fortunes for legendary investors like Warren Buffett… Peter Lynch… and scores of the world's wealthiest families.

Namely, identifying the market's best-run companies… buying them at great prices… and assembling them into an optimised, long-term investment portfolio…

Capped off by what Buffett himself insists is the single, most critical key to successful investing: having the temperament and discipline to keep your wits in good markets and bad. Of course, that's where Joe Magyer and his team come in.

If you don't know Joe, he is about as even-tempered an investor as you're likely to come across. And it pays off time and time again for those who follow his investment advice…

To give you an idea of how Joe invests, let's study a few of his recent picks that doubled in value or more, along with his reasons for recommending them (in his own words):

• Visa (up over 277%) – "A consummate Pro-style business was flush with cash, growing strongly, run by smart managers, and was cheap for the wrong reasons. Investors were worried about a court ruling that might reduce the rates Visa could charge for its debit cards. Once you calmed down and looked at the numbers, though, you realised that most of Visa's sales would be untouched even if they got a tough draw. And, even in a worst-case scenario Visa was still wildly profitable with decades of growth ahead. In the end, the final rules weren't so bad, the business kept on growing, and investors realised their mistake and bid the shares up. We've tripled our money in three years!"
• Google (up over 121%) – "Most value investors rolled their eyes when I recommended Google. Most value investors scoff at tech stocks and thought paying 21 times earnings was an absurd price. Instead of taking themselves too seriously they should have focused on the obvious: Google had a fortress balance sheet, was generating tons of cash, and its competitive edges were growing sharper every day."
• TD Ameritrade (up over 135%) – "A tremendously profitable business whose earnings were soft on short-term issues. Looking further out than more investors, though, it was clear that profits would rebound sharply and when they did investors would dive back into the stock. It was a classic Pro-style example of what we're looking for: A great, well run business with a strong balance sheet selling for a low multiple of depressed earnings."

Talk about stunning performance!

(In fact, I'm happy to report I took Joe's advice and loaded up on shares of both Google and TD Ameritrade… and I couldn't be happier with their performance!)

Like Warren Buffett, Joe believes one of the most important determinants of an investor's success or failure is how he manages the emotions of greed and fear. And this is one of the things that makes Joe uniquely qualified to lead Motley Fool Pro…

Now imagine putting an investor like Joe to work for you. I'm talking about actually hiring him!

You WON'T have to read another balance sheet. You WON'T have to ask the hard questions of senior management. You WON'T have to evaluate a company's competitive advantages, either. Or the sustainability of its market.

(Of course, if you enjoy such things — as I do — you won't find a better group to learn from and swap ideas with than your management team and fellow Motley Fool Pro members.)

Best of all, you WON'T need to decide when to buy a stock… how much of each stock to buy… or even when to lock in your profits.

That's all taken care of. When you're a member of Motley Fool Pro, you have a dedicated analyst and a world-class portfolio manager to do that for you. They work for you, in other words!

So, what will you have to do?

First, you'll need to respond to this special invitation as soon as possible. Because there's a numbers crunch… Only 1,500 new member spots are available.

(And your special "early bird" discount is available until March 17 only!)

Of course, I would prefer that everybody could join. But remember, you'll be "front-running" our real money portfolio. In other words, you're privy to our trade alerts BEFORE we buy…

This is the only way you can have the opportunity to get in — and get out — before we do. As important, it's only by carefully managing the size of the service that I can personally ensure you the personal attention, access, and the interaction with Joe and his team you deserve.

Pro Member Advantage No. 2 – You get peace of mind knowing our wealth building interests will always be aligned…

Have you ever wondered if your financial advisor is investing his own money in the stocks he's pushing across the table at you? And if he's not, why do you suppose he's reluctant to "eat his own cooking"?

It's an important question. Because too often financial services are rife with conflicts that stack the deck against individual investors like you and me. But don't just take my word for it, open up just about any paper or financial magazine:

"The financial fat cats live to rip us off another day."
–The Sydney Morning Herald

"The sorry history of financial advice in this country – spectacularly revealed over recent years via client losses and unnecessary risk-taking – is that far too many advisers were primarily driven by commission payments rather than looking after the financial interests of their clients."
— The Australian Financial Review

"Since 2006 there have been more than $6 billion of financial advice collapses, affecting more than 120,000 Australians."
— The Sydney Morning Herald

This is really the impetus for Motley Fool Pro. You see, we're going to be invested right alongside you…

With SKIN IN THE GAME — $1 million in Motley Fool company money and $250,000 of my personal funds – so you know we're serious! And you can rest assured you're getting our absolute best money making recommendations. After all, we're partners in a unified cause — building our wealth together.

Honestly, can you imagine an easier, more efficient way for you to invest The Motley Fool way?

If you're ready to take this next step and join Motley Fool Pro, here's something else you'll notice right away… you'll quickly become a more confident investor. Never again struggling to decide when to buy a stock… when to add to an existing position… or even when to take a little off the table to lock in your profits.

Here's the best part: you can simply follow along with your own portfolio in just minutes a month!

And when we periodically reallocate and rebalance our holdings to maximise our profits and lower our risk as current market conditions dictate, you'll know ahead of time… so that you can easily do likewise.

Finally, because we're investing in a constantly evolving investment landscape IN REAL TIME, you can expect more frequent and timely communication from Joe and the Motley Fool Pro team.

Just as with Joe's recent trip to China! (I trust you enjoyed following along as much as I did.)

So a few minutes ago, I mentioned how I'm on track to "repay" myself the $250,000 after I've turned it into a nest egg worth well more than $1 million dollars!

Again, I know it's a tall order — and it's one I don't take lightly. I remember the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), after all. The thought of living through another period like that sometimes keeps me awake at night.

However, you and I both know we're not going to get to where we want to go in life without taking some intelligent risks, right?

After all what are the alternatives? Interest rates are at historic lows and the income I used to get from term deposits keeps diminishing. Relying on the government or a pension isn't on the cards for me either…

So here's what I'm doing: I'm following Joe Magyer and his Motley Fool Pro team step-by-step as they construct a diversified portfolio from the ground up.

We're talking core, growth and even some more speculative stocks… like the surprising small-cap play on China's huge appetite for organic food that Joe has just recommended Motley Fool Pro members buy, hot off the presses.

And here's the feature I love. Motley Fool Pro isn't focused on any one particular theme. Joe and his team are free to ferret out everything from the next great software success story… to underfollowed small caps that pay handsome, fully franked dividends… and everything in between!

You see, with Motley Fool Pro, we're not confined by a publication schedule. Meaning Joe will be able to react on a dime to changing market conditions…

He'll have the freedom to sidestep landmines, and chase opportunity when it presents itself…

In other words, unlike a fund that tries to match the allocation of an index, in Motley Fool Pro, Joe can underweight a sector if he sees trouble ahead. Or overweight a sector where there's genuine opportunity…

That's why Motley Fool Pro will squeeze profits from, and build fortresses of wealth with dividend stocks, growth stocks, small-cap stocks, value stocks, speculative stocks, tech stocks, ETFs, and more…

All with the goal of earning at least 12% per annum, year in and year out over the long term. After all, if you can earn 12% every year:

• You can turn a $50,000 portfolio into $273,678 in 15 years…
• A $567,427 portfolio grows to $1 million in 5 years…
• And a $250,000 portfolio, earning 12% annually, pulls in $30,000 profit a year…

Of course, I can't guarantee you 12% profits every single year. If you've been around The Motley Fool for a while, you know I don't make promises like that — and when discussing our performance, I will never be less than 100% up front with you.

This is where we put our flag in the ground, fellow Fools!

The bottom line in all this: Motley Fool Pro is an honest resource in an increasingly hostile environment for individual investors like you and me.

But you don't have to take my word for it. Take it from these current Pro members:

"Joining Pro is the best financial decision I've ever made. I have a lot of confidence in Joe and Matt, and this great one-of-a-kind service."

"When I signed up for Pro, I expected to receive emails recommending a course of action and the Pro Fools thoughts behind the recommendations. I didn't expect the high level of communication with the Fools at Pro. I am very impressed that we are able to post a question (which sometimes may seem silly to us) on the forums and Matt or Joe respond so quickly and succinctly, not in jargon but in a language we can all understand. I also enjoy the camaraderie between members on the forum, everyone is so eager to provide information and assistance to others." 

"This is why I joined MF Pro, for outstanding research that is very difficult for me to do, working full time and all."

 

I want to make sure you have every opportunity to join us, too. And to make it as easy as possible for you…

Pro Member Advantage No. 3: You're entitled to a special "early bird" discount including 20% OFF the regular one-year rate! (Plus even deeper discounts and a longer full money-back guarantee period if you select a multi-year subscription. Details are straight ahead!)

As I've said, Motley Fool Pro is unlike anything The Motley Fool has offered here in Australia. It's a revolutionary wealth building resource…

And to my knowledge, a real money, ASX-focused portfolio service like this has NEVER been offered before anywhere. Because quite frankly, it requires more in terms of resources and staging. So it's a little bit pricier than our Motley Fool Share Advisor and Motley Fool Dividend Investor newsletter services.

So is it worth the extra cost you might be asking? Well, let me ask you this, what's it worth to get…

• Full insight into the construction and management of a $1 million REAL MONEY portfolio
• Advance alerts pre-announcing all actions, when buys and sells are made, and news alerts
• 24/7 access to Motley Fool Pro Advisor, Joe Magyer and his team via members-only message boards
• Portfolio reviews, access to exclusive on-the-ground research AND detailed management commentary, including weekly investment updates

And remember, I'm putting $250,000 of my own money to work following these recommendations — partly to show you how confident we are in all of this, and partly for selfish reasons…

You see, I believe now is the time to invest in the best companies the ASX has to offer — and I fully expect that I will turn my $250,000 into a million dollars over the next 10 years or so…

So you know we're not messing around here! When you're a member of Motley Fool Pro the entire family at The Motley Fool really is investing right along with you.

Meaning, you not only get the up-to-the-minute best investments, but also when to buy them… how large a part of your portfolio to allocate to them… and when to sell.

More important — especially in times like these — you get the flexibility to take advantage of the opportunities the market hands us. Even if that means loading up on lots of names one week, or sitting back and waiting another.

Now there's the simple question of cost…

Motley Fool Pro provides you a tailored wealth building plan and expert portfolio management… for a fraction of the cost!

Just consider this: the estimated annual cost of a $250,000 account with a full service broker is $5,000… or even more. Again, don't just take my word for it:

"Most of us have little idea how much these people appropriate from our life savings each year to reward themselves…"
–The Sydney Morning Herald

So how much is it worth to put Joe Magyer and his team to work for you?

How much is it worth to employ a world-class investor to tell you what to buy and when… when to sell and why… and to work tirelessly on your behalf to help you and your family achieve a comfortable lining of wealth?

How do you put a price on that?

Well… because The Motley Fool's mission is to level the playing field for individual investors like you, and make it as easy as possible to achieve your financial dreams, here's what I did…

I started with half of what it would cost for a full service broker. And of course, you'd be paying half as much for better performing, un-conflicted, and always thoroughly researched investment advice…

Which is an incredible value for a groundbreaking service like Motley Fool Pro.

But to reward new members like YOU… I'm going even further with this "early bird" discount!

When you respond to this not-to-be-repeated priority invitation — I'll give you an additional $500 "early bird" discount! It's my gift to you for being a dedicated individual investor with the goal of building real wealth for the long term.

Please note: You have until March 17 only to secure this special price, or until our 1,500 new member seats are SOLD OUT, whatever comes first…

Meaning instead of paying $5,000 or more to a full service broker, or even the regular rate of $2,499 to join Motley Fool Pro for one year (a great value in itself) you can knock a further $500 right off the top…

And pay $1,999 for the full year! That's a full 20% discount. If you decide to join for more than one year, you can extend your full money back guarantee and save thousands…

Take a look: if you join for 5 years, you can drive down the per year cost to less than $920 per year – and extend your full money back guarantee period to 3 months!

What could be easier, right?

After all, you know The Motley Fool invests for the long term. We're looking for those great investments that can compound our profits for years and years. I call these fortune-maker stocks… companies like Corporate Travel Management and Sirtex Medical that have, over a number of years, multiplied the gains for early investors many times over…

And I'd like nothing better than for you to put yourself in the best possible position to take advantage of such gains… something the 5-year "early bird" membership to Motley Fool Pro does…

There's only one catch: we need to hear from you RIGHT AWAY. These "early bird" member terms will not last. They're set to expire at MIDNIGHT on March 17, if not earlier!

Of course, you won't risk a penny by accepting this invitation…

I have a confession to make: there are few things in life I enjoy less than talking about limited spots and opportunities that could expire any minute.

But it's important that you understand that Motley Fool Pro is a little different than other Motley Fool products and that you're aware of the logistics of the situation.

At the same time, I don't want you to feel rushed. I'd hate for you to jump into something you might think differently about later. Well, here's why that's not going to happen to you…

Simply say yes to this "early bird" invitation right now. If later tonight, or next week you have second thoughts, we'll just fix it. You simply tell me to send your money back, and I'll give you a FULL REFUND — NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

In fact, you can take a whole month to decide. And if for any reason you want to quit at any point even after the first month, I'll gladly send you the full dollar value of the remainder of your membership term.

Which brings me to one final question: what if investing and growing wealthy like "a Pro" was easy… with zero guesswork… it took just minutes per month… and most important, your interests and ours were always perfectly aligned – because we're in this together…

Is that an invitation you'd accept? If you're anything like me, the answer is an easy one.

So don't risk missing out! Motley Fool Pro promises to be a rich and rewarding experience. And one that could make a big difference to you and your family for generations. Click here now or the button below to start your Pro membership!
