Dear Investor,
You might be thinking the big money to be made in Apple has already been made. Think again. The hefty profits we've made over the past 18 months were just a warm up.
With such big profits already in hand I realize that is a bold claim.
But as you're about to discover, the great profits we've seen so far are simply part 1 of a repeat performance as the market underestimates the transformation of Apple from a computer centric company to a consumer ecosystem all star.
When you know the market is missing the big picture, it's means BIG opportunity for you.
Let's track back to 2007. When Apple like many other technology companies had some issues with options backdating the market wrung it's hand and even speculated that Steve Jobs was set to be ousted. We identified this as nonsense and urged our subscribers to jump in with both feet at that time. Our position in Apple powered the performance of our LEAPS 2 portfolio with the hefty gains that have helped make it the #1 performing investment newsletter portfolio over the past year.
While the market was wringing it's hands, what we saw was a company about to parlay its tremendous success with the iPod into an even bigger success with a music enabled, internet surfing phone. Much to the delight of our subscribers, the market has now accepted that the iPhone is a game changing success. But the market still misses the bigger picture on the continuing transformation of Apple.
While the rest of the computer industry struggles with meager growth and an aging top down hardware model, Apple is using its bottom up multimedia focus to run circles around the PC's growth rates. In a real sense the the iPod and the iPhone are driving the MAC business through Apple stores. It's a simple concept that is underappreciated by far too many stuck in a mode of thinking about Apple as related to the PC landscape. Apple still has the millions of untapped customers that falsely believe they can't run the Microsoft windows products they use at work on that shiny new MAC they'd love to own but for that "incompatibility". But when they get into an Apple store to check out the iPhone they find out differently. They also find out how friendly it is to use the iPod with a MAC and love that they can connect to the internet on the iPhone.
Apple is transforming a defined brand appeal in consumer products and personal mobile internet connectivity into MAC sales...and the bottom line will only get better as the new more powerful iPhone is set to appear. Apple's transformation into a must have consumer product company is synergistic to its MAC business. It's a bottom up ecosystem strategy nobody else is even coming close to challenging.
The market is handing you the same opportunity to profit in Part 2 of the same story.
Apple is set to debut a 3G version of the iPhone. This will open the door to several options for Apple to penetrate much more deeply into the high end phone business. More importantly it will raise the bar on what to expect from all devices as has already occurred with the original iPhone. The more complex and functional these devices become, the more compelling it is for the seamless integration available with a MAC. As Apple moves from the millions of iPhones to tens of millions of iPhones and and countless iPods in the market, it is creating a bottom up user friendly ecosystem based on the Apple brand. Increasingly that ecosystem is leading consumers with Apple consumer products to purchase Apple MAC products as a replacement computer. It's also leading to a generation of young MAC users that grow up with the bottom up ecosystem starting with an iPod. No matter what consumer candy Apple delivers next, the ecosystem aspect remains the same.
As Apple moves from a computer centric business to an ecosystem business it is reshaping itself into a juggernaut; producing compelling consumer products and follow on MAC sales. It's a simple, effective, and repeatable strategy leading to big gains for investors as well. The good news is that the market looks at the shortest of periods when deciding where Apple is headed. But the quarterly iPod sales, iPhone shortages, or the rate of ramp of the 3G iPhone misses the big picture. What we are watching is an underestimated transformation to a synergistic ecosystem model.
What Should You Do When the Market Misses the Big Picture... but You Know You Have it in Clear Focus?
This is one key to crushing the market with technology stocks in the post techcraze era of the late nineties. We haven't really figured out why the market still looks for companies like Dell to return to glory while largely underestimating the genuine tech boom already underway in transformational ones.
It is these type of transformational growth stocks we reveal to our subscribers and include in the Hager System. Apple is one of these carefully selected investments and it's one that will continue to bring big profits. But just like with the underestimated synergy of the Apple ecosystem strategy, it's the proven strategy of the Fredhager.com system that has our subscribers making big profits on stocks like Apple.
The Hager System: An Unparalleled Method for Delivering Profits to Newsletter Subscribers
Our long term investing strategy is simple. Find the stocks that will dominate their markets and invest for the long term. This is the proven, successful method but it requires knowledge and confidence in your decisions. This is why our system is uniquely successful. And it's why Fredhager.com has pulled off a truly remarkable feat for its subscribers. In 2004 we were the #1 performing newsletter of more than 180 tracked by The Hulbert Financial Digest. In 2003 we were the #2 performing newsletter. In 2005, though we were not the number #1 newsletter, it only took us to early January 2006 to reclaim that spot for the last 12 months.
And now in 2008 we have the #1 performing investment newsletter portfolio with our LEAPS 2 portfolio.
How have we beat so many, so repeatedly ever since implementing this unique system? The answer is actually simple and consistent with our long term investing style. We pick the right long term technology stocks. Then we show you how to combine those great stock picks with the leverage of LEAPS to really hit the ball out of the park. It's a simple system of using long positions and leaps positions. Longs and LEAPS.
Just look at what some of our best LEAPS performers did in 2003 up to 2008.
Sold EBAY LEAPS after a 2402% Profit
Sold SanDisk LEAPS after a 582% Profit
Holding Apple LEAPS after a 818% Profit (so far!)
While we would love to share all our current long and LEAPS picks with you here, our subscribers would come after us with hatchets if we did. But you can rest assured of our performance claims with the independently audited reporting of The Hulbert Financial Digest.
The Hager System is simplicity in action. Buy the long term portfolio stocks we select and combine those selections with he LEAPS portfolios we feature. We have subscribers who had never even heard of LEAPS that have made huge profits almost overnight. Some are even reluctant to try using them and focus on the profits being delivered from the long stock positions alone. That is, until they see how much success they're missing out on the some of the same stocks leveraged with LEAPS.
The best part of all is that all the leverage comes without resorting to the risk of using margin. Whether you want to add a little or a lot of this supercharged LEAPS performance is really up to you. But it's the kind of performance you simply cannot find anywhere else.
While the Hager System itself is simplicity in action, it's knowing which stocks to put into the system that is key to it's success. That's where the research of the Hager Technology research team comes in to bring you clear, confident, money-making picks. If you would like to know all of what our subscribers know about crushing the market, we would like to warmly welcome you to the profit making party.
