Put it together and we've got a stampede of riches overseas that's fast approaching a tipping point. After all, it's driven by raw demographics...

Forbes points out, "India's population is among the world's youngest, with 60% of its people under age 32. An emerging middle class of 300 million provides a phenomenal growth prospect."

The Washington Post remarks, "Since 1978, China's economy has grown at a compound rate of more than 9% per year. It's morning in Asia."

The Economist perhaps says it best, declaring, "America Drops, Asia Shops."

Of course, India and Asia are tips of a global iceberg. Economic upstarts from South America to South Africa are developing at an alarming clip. FAR faster than we can expect from a mature economy like ours.

Wait! This is GOOD news...

If this sounds grim, let me clarify. This is the best news I've heard in years. At least for sophisticated investors like us — those with specialized knowledge and the courage to identify and CASH IN on what may be an once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunity.

But let's step back a moment. Let's assume for a moment you're not 100% convinced you have that kind of detailed specialized knowledge... or courage. Well, don't worry. You're not alone.

In fact, despite everything you just read, major U.S. institutions like pension funds continue to invest just 5% to 10% of their client portfolios in foreign stocks! (There's a systemic reason for this I'll share with you just ahead.)

And you know what's worse? A recent survey by the National Association of Investors Corp. found that just one in three individual investors feels "comfortable" putting ANY of their hard-earned money to work in foreign stocks or bonds.

That spells trouble. You see, if this kind of backward thinking continues, many hardworking Americans could be headed for years of woeful underperformance.

Worst of all, there is clear evidence that your neighbors and fellow investors may be falling behind already. I recently ran some numbers to show you what I mean...

Since Sept. 2003, the iShares Emerging Markets Index, which tracks the performance of international stocks, has gained nearly 220% — thumping the S&P 500 by nearly 5 to 1!

So, how exactly is this GOOD news? Simple. It's times like these when fortunes are made — when Wall Street falls asleep at the switch and "disconnects" (i.e., opportunities) arise in free markets.

Right now, all we have to do is decide that WE will be among the ones who PROFIT from the NEXT great bull market. You're about to discover how we're going to make it happen today.

Listen, I'm as patriotic as the next guy

My name is Bill Mann. I intend to show you exactly how you can position yourself to profit from the next great bull market.

But don't take me for some cockeyed optimist. I've been called a skeptic, a curmudgeon, and a fierce defender of the little guy against a corrupt corporate culture that's frankly sickening at times.

In 2001, I went to bat for the individual investor before Congress, letting loose on the stomach-churning abuses of Ken Lay's gang of white-collar crooks at Enron.

My colleagues and I were even credited by SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt with helping ram through Regulation Fair Disclosure (Reg FD) to level the playing field for small investors.

Before he left office, Mr. Levitt went so far as to call me and my fellow crusaders at The Motley Fool (that's the name of the grassroots community of investors I proudly serve)...

"As close to being an effective investor advocate as any organization in America."

— Arthur Levitt, former SEC Chairman

But by mid-2002, Reg FD was safely on the books, and I was eager to get back to my real passion — helping individual investors like you beat the Wall Street pros.

That's when I partnered with Motley Fool Co-founder Tom Gardner to launch his small-cap value newsletter service, Motley Fool Hidden Gems.

Our members will tell you how pleased they are with their returns. These include profits of… 597% on Middleby… 179% on Blue Nile … 226% on CNS Inc..

In fact, those are just three of a DOZEN small-cap recommendations that have doubled in value since they were recommended in Hidden Gems since August 2003.

So, you can see why I'm such a believer in the power of American business ingenuity, and the wealth-building power of the U.S. stock market.

And also why I'm a huge proponent of old-fashioned, bottom-up fundamental analysis, especially... and this is important... if you consistently look where Wall Street doesn't or can't.

These precise factors have combined to make me and my subscribers a whole lot of money. But right now the greatest economic development is taking place beyond our shores, and I won't mistake profits for patriotism... or bury my head in the sand.

How to profit from the NEXT great bull market

Of course, when I say "the NEXT great bull market," I mean the massive growth and opportunity awaiting us overseas.

But most U.S. investors don't have a clue. And you can thank Wall Street for that.

But when you think about it, that makes perfect sense. After all, the high-paid MBAs on Wall Street have spent years entrenching a network of U.S. investment bankers, business leaders, buy-side money managers, and high-rolling institutional investors.

I bet you know as well as I do how Wall Street analysts tend to cover (and issue top ratings on) the very companies their investment banking arms do business with. Doesn't it stand to reason, then, that they would have little use for overseas companies that rely on largely international financing?

Of course it does. And that's just one of the reasons these Wall Street insiders all recommend the same U.S. stocks and why North American institutional holdings remain 90% concentrated in those same stocks... despite the clear strong performance of international equities.

And this is infuriating. It's a massive disservice to U.S. investors. On the plus side, however, it creates huge inefficiencies (i.e., opportunities) in overseas markets — for those of us who take advantage.

In fact, this phenomenon is very similar to the one we are exploiting so successfully for outsized profits at Hidden Gems. But I think this new opportunity overseas may be even more powerful.

For one thing, I'm convinced we're catching this profit wave even earlier in the cycle. And I say that even though the international revolution has been bubbling beneath the surface for years.

I should know — I've been harvesting it myself since 1994...

That's the year I tossed my Foreign Service application, left a cushy desk job for a Japanese Government trade association... and headed off to Siberia. I was 25 years old.

By year's end, my partners and I had accumulated a significant owner's interest in an old state-run truck manufacturer. Four years later, we cashed out for huge profit. But that was peanuts compared to the lessons I brought back home.

And that's why I'm writing you today. So you can share in the lessons I learned on that first junket and over 15-plus years of analyzing businesses. Together, we can put that knowledge to work for you today, building your wealth.

And where better to start than with the profitable takeaway from that remarkable little story you just heard? Here it is simply...

An ordinary young man from North Carolina shouldn't be able to waltz into Siberia and take ownership of a big chunk of a company for very little money!

It shouldn't have happened, and it could NEVER happen here at home — not with the millions of investor eyes riveted on the public sphere. But it does happen nearly every day all across the globe, if you know where to look.

And simply knowing where to look can make you extremely wealthy. You don't even have to risk your hide in Russia or buy a heavy manufacturer piecemeal in the streets... you have a much easier way to position yourself to cash in.

Starting today, you can buy the world's most-profitable investments without leaving the country

In 1998, I rode to the airport in Jakarta, crouched beneath a blanket in the rear of a paneled truck. I may have been overreacting to the growing mob, but it seemed prudent.

Yet, even as we pulled into the shelter of the airport, I was already plotting my next investment — but this time, I would pull the trigger from right here on U.S. soil.

That company was called Telekom Indonesia. I started building my position at around $3 a share and later sold it at $23 — a solid 10-bagger.

And that's not to mention the $.75 worth of dividends I banked on every share along the way. So, how did I do it? Simple.

You see, I'd spent the past three years criss-crossing the Far East, valuing overseas telecom operations from the inside. I had been there. So, I knew this was a solid business. And I knew that Indonesia was in trouble, but I also was confident it would HOLD.

Remember, I had been there, too. Of course, the smart money back home begged to differ. But that just made the price lower and the opportunity that much more compelling.

That's the morale of this second story. Having the inside knowledge and courage to go against the grain of popular opinion can make you rich. Now, what would you pay for an inside track like that?

Would you invest $500 a year, or maybe $1,000? It would be money well spent. (Don't worry, you don't have to spend nearly so much.)

So, while you take a moment to come up with a precise figure, here are two of the more profitable international investments I've passed on to Motley Fool members just like you...

Cemex (Mexico): In November 2002, I discovered a Mexican producer of cement, run by a team of technology geeks who weren't afraid to operate in the developing world.

Most American analysts saw a high-fixed cost, low-return cyclical resource company that deserved to trade some 40% off its recent highs. I, on the other hand, saw one of the most dynamic, innovative, investor-friendly companies in the world.

I told my readers to buy this undervalued goldmine at once! On November 26, 2002, Cemex was trading for a split-adjusted $9.80. Recently, it closed at $26.92. That's a 174% gain, turning an original $5,000 investment into $13,700.

Fairmont Hotels (Canada): It pains me to tell you that you can't buy this one now. In fact, it was only a matter of months after I recommended the company to my Hidden Gems members in May 2005 that corporate raider Carl Ichan made a play at Fairmont.

But it wasn't to be. Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz al-Saud upped the ante and Fairmont went to Kingdom Holding for $45 per share. We locked in a 36% gain in less than a year. I was frankly disappointed, but not surprised. Good things happen to great companies trading below their fair value. I fully expect similar situations to play out for us at Global Gains.

But just so we're clear. Yes, you could buy these stocks right here at home. But these were still high-risk opportunities better left to serious investors with the time and expertise to follow them closely. All that changes for you today.

Introducing Motley Fool Global Gains!

If you're still reading, you're a savvy investor. And that's good.

Most investors simply aren't ready for international investing. Remember, even Wall Street is asleep at the switch!

But my passport reads like a map of the whole world. It's riddled with brightly colored stamps from China... Singapore... Egypt... Australia... Germany... New Zealand... Turkey... the list goes on.

So, unlike other newsletter writers or sell-side analysts on Wall Street who shy away from international stocks... global investing is right in my wheel house.

At the same time, you can also see why the invitation I'm about to extend to you is not for beginners — or cheapskates.

It's for serious investors only. Folks who know the value of a premium newsletter service — one that can help you make money.

I know this because I have taken more than a handful of newsletters myself over the years. So, I can assure you that Motley Fool Global Gains is unlike any you've seen before.

In a moment, you'll have the opportunity to become a member of this exciting investing service. Or, if you prefer, you can sample the service for 30 days free (read on for full details).

When you accept this special invitation, you'll benefit from two top international investment ideas per month, delivered to your inbox — each culled from the vast universe of global equities.

Which means you can rest assured that every international stock you'll read about in Global Gains has been thoroughly vetted... first by my dedicated team of equity analysts... and then by me personally.

And unlike what you'd expect from a Wall Street research house, with its secret relationships, hidden agendas, and conflicts of interests, you know that the advice you receive is objective and unbiased.

That's all true. But what really sets my Global Gains service apart is a state-of-the-art password-protected website. I made it my No. 1 priority to make sure this is the most sophisticated and useful interface you've ever seen.

Think you don't need another investment newsletter...

That may well be. That's why when you accept my invitation to join me as a member of Global Gains, you're not buying another investment newsletter.

You're hiring a trained guide to be your eyes and ears on the ground, helping you put your money to work profitably overseas... and keeping tabs on your investments around the world. You'll also be assuring yourself unlimited, secure online access to...

• Premium feature articles on global investing topics
• Detailed special reports on international investing and stocks
• Specific country reports

You'll also receive full access to our premium international research, including detailed country-by-country breakdowns and such practical information as the trading capabilities of your U.S. broker.

Plus, you'll enjoy full use of our proprietary tools, currency converter, and full dashboard access to global news agencies and foreign stock exchanges.

Finally, you'll have access to a robust archive of interviews with CEOs, money managers, and investment writers. And, of course, my complete real-time stock scorecard, where I track every Global Gains recommendation.

And then, of course there's the crowning jewel: Your completely interactive Global Gains community experience, where you can log on any time, day and night, to ask a question... make a statement... share your thoughts.

Or strike up a conversation with fellow members of the Global Gains community — some of whom have personal experience at the very companies we're investing in. You can even put a question to any member of our advisor team, including me.

I firmly believe that you'll value the one-of-a-kind Global Gains community at many times the cost of your membership. I hope you can see why I say Global Gains is like no other service you have ever experienced.

At Global Gains, we NEVER sugarcoat the risks

You can probably also see why Global Gains is not cheap. Frankly, it's a premium newsletter service for experienced investors. Here's the biggest reason why you wouldn't want it any other way.

You see we've already discussed the HUGE opportunities overseas. But for all the potentially life-changing profits, it would be irresponsible not to mention the risks involved in investing overseas.

Yet, this may be exactly what you can expect from many stock advisors — and that truly is irresponsible. So, let's be clear upfront about the risks...

Exchange rates can move against us, governments can destabilize or grow less favorable, economies occasionally falter and reporting requirements rarely live up to rigorous U.S. standards.

And that's on top of the ordinary company risk associated with stock investing. Anybody who tells you these investment risks can be eliminated outright is either lying or delusional. Either way, they are not to be trusted.

That's why you need to be even more diligent when buying international stocks (and one of the reasons they can be so profitable). And that's all the more reason you don't want to go it alone when building out your international allocation.

Here's the secret of how Global Gains works and how it puts you way ahead of the field... When you're a member, you are free to draft off my years of experience running businesses and investing overseas.

And the profits can be life-changing.

That's right, you stay safe at home while I trek the globe for you

Remember, I didn't get started in this business using some spreadsheet model and electronic exchange — I built a personal stake in a former Soviet company on the ground.

Just as important, I can apply the valuation and financial sleuthing techniques I've mastered in my years of helping thousands of investors beat the market with the world's best stocks... while blowing the whistle on shady U.S. corporations.

Because here's the thing: The NEXT great bull market will be overseas. But not every international investor will cash in. Just like here in the U.S., there will be blow ups and there will be crimes.

Only without the stringent U.S. government oversight, they will be 100 times worse. That's why you need me and my team at Global Gains on your side, if it's the only investment newsletter service you keep.

But your biggest risk is NOT being invested overseas

Here's why I say that. In all my years of international investing — backed by reams of historical record — I don't recall a time when international markets were as rife with opportunity as the period we're entering right now.

And the sooner you can spot these opportunities, the sooner you can begin to...

Supercharge your portfolio's growth. With stronger underlying growth, foreign markets can appreciate much more quickly than their more developed counterparts — particularly when a country becomes "hot" in the eyes of the professional investing world.

Just last year, stock markets in countries like like Brazil, Czech Republic, Turkey, South Korea, and Australia all appreciated 50% or more.

Swoop down on unique opportunities. Looking abroad exposes you to rare or even unique opportunities. Apple came out with the iPod, but the next personal entertainment breakthrough will likely come from Nokia, Samsung, or some Chinese company we haven't even heard of today.

Diversify for dramatically lower risk. Investing overseas exposes you to different economic conditions and cycles. Spreading your money around the world can boost your overall returns, while simultaneously reducing the risk of getting hurt by a market decline in the U.S.

Those are just three of the benefits international investors have always enjoyed... and that you can enjoy in even greater measure as the current trend toward globalization continues.

And that's just the beginning. But I DON'T want you invest in any foreign company today... not before you've read this brand new report cover to cover.

“Global is definitely the way to go.”

— Jeremy Siegel, Wharton professor and author,
The Future for Investors, addressing the 2006 Motley Fool Investing and Writer's Conference.

Of course, we all WANT to be on the right side of history... the side where the MONEY is.

But you probably don't want to waste a lot of time and energy mastering the intricacies of international finance and investing.

Or maybe you just want someone to help you narrow the field of international investments. Someone with boots on the ground who can help you steer clear of the landmines. Who can blame you?

After all, my team and I traveled across Asia, looking for the next great Pacific Rim opportunity for you to invest in. In the next six months, we will visit South America.

That's simply the life we've chosen.

But you have a job... a family... you have a life. But you also have your nest-egg to consider and your goals.

With Motley Fool Global Gains, you get actionable investment advice you can use... from an impeccable source with a verifiable track-record of helping investors just like you safely build their wealth.

Because let's face it. For investors looking to build serious wealth, the days of the 10% international stock allocation are long gone.

Even Professor Jeremy Siegel... one of the most conservative investors I have ever met... suggests that you consider holding a full 40% of your stock portfolio in foreign investments.

I know how you can see how, looking back 20 years from now, your international investments could be the most important single determinant of your long-term wealth.

The Motley Fool's Oil, Gas, Precious Metals and Timber Report: 8 STOCKS to tap the global resources boom!

The price of copper has tripled in half a decade. Zinc has doubled. Wheat and soybeans rose 70% last year. Crude oil... silver... lead... uranium... cattle... gold... cocoa... and corn -- ARE ALL SOARING! And some pretty smart investors are making a bundle...

Here's the upshot for you in all this: investing in resources -- things measured in bushels, barrels, and ounces -- is a strategy that's working for investors, at a time when gains in traditional stocks are becoming harder and harder to find.

"...hard assets like oil and gold perhaps offer a safe hedge against inflation, as well as the double-digit gains that have fast been disappearing from the markets for stocks, bonds and real estate."
-- The New York Times
March 20, 2008

That's why we just spent a considerable amount of time and energy... I'm talking about the time and energy of some of the brightest investors on the planet... vetting the best resource stocks for the years to come:

• This oil field services company is set to thrive as drilling increases, which will happen whether oil costs $60 a barrel or $160, and everywhere in between... this company's strong brand, veteran leadership and healthy cash flow make for exactly the kind of investment Warren Buffett endorses, "a wonderful company at a fair price"
• Silver is a resource that's in demand whether the global economy is in boom or bust... that's why we're recommending a company that operates low cost mines with significant exploration upside... and management that's legendary for creating shareholder wealth!
• Timber is the best-performing asset over the past century, with a history of gaining value even in brutal bear markets... and that's just the beginning of what attracts us to one dynamic company poised to convert forest waste into a virtually limitless biofuel... plus, this company is set to streamline operations and could save itself a bundle in corporate taxes which gives the stock near-term upside of around 40%!

And here's what really excites us about these stocks: ever increasing global trade... the emergence of China and India and that region's uncontrollable appetite for resources... and exponentially surging demand for the world's limited resources...

All this adds up to a unique, and genuine, long-term investing opportunity!

You owe it to yourself to discover the full details of the 3 stocks I just introduced you to inside your FREE report. Plus, you'll get full details of 5 other powerhouse resource stocks that have as much potential, or perhaps even more!

So don't delay. Snap up your FREE copy of "The Motley Fool's Oil, Gas, Precious Metals and Timber Report: 8 STOCKS to tap the global resources boom" while supplies last!

Of course, I also insist that you try Global Gains with NO RISK

By now, you're probably wondering how much it would cost you to join Global Gains. Research of this quality is costly to produce — but when you hear about the special free trial we have put together for you, I think you're going to be pleased.

Yet, even after all we've discussed today, you still might not know for certain that Global Gains is right for you... no matter how exclusive the deal.

The last thing I would want is for you to feel you'd made a mistake.

So, here's a simple solution to put us both at ease. Take a look at my Global Gains members-only web site. If you decide you're not 100% satisfied, no worries. You won't pay a cent.

In fact, there's no need to rush. Take a full 30 days to decide. Read your first issue and all my special reports. If at any point you realize you'd rather not be a member of Global Gains, you won't pay a cent.

Of course, all the reports you hear about today are yours to keep as my "thank you" for hearing me out. You can even keep the valuable fast-action bonus I'll tell you about below with my full compliments.

As you can see, the risk truly is 100% mine. But to make sure we're on the same page, let's take a moment to revisit what you get when you give Global Gains a try at my risk, today...

Simply agree to give Global Gains a try without risk today, and you get both reports free. And they're yours to keep even if you decide not to join right now.

Or why not become a member today?

If you do decide to stay on for the long term, Global Gains will cost you $299 for one year. I think that's a very fair deal, given the intricate nature of this top-quality research.

If you'd rather sign up for two years, you can take advantage of an additional $99 dollar savings off our regular one-year membership.

Is that a fair amount of money? It sure is. But you've seen how Global Gains is not for beginners. And how specialized this research is. But there's one more reason for the premium cost.

At Global Gains, we are intentionally trying to attract a certain level of investor. Novices are welcome, but we are looking for smart people and serious investors. After all, the quality of our community intelligence depends on it.

Right now we are building out an exclusive network of forward-looking investors to help us lock in on the best international investments.

If this sounds like you, I can't wait to hear from you and to personally welcome you as a member to what I am certain will become an important and influential investment community.

And remember, you get to sample the entire service for 30 days risk-free. This way you have time to read all the valuable reports you receive as part of this special offer... plus all the time you need to decide if the service is as valuable as I say it is.

Again, all the bonus reports we discussed today are yours to keep no matter what you decide today.

One final reason why you can't afford to put this off

Two decades ago, less than a quarter of all U.S. households actively invested in U.S. stocks. That means 75% were positioned to MISS OUT on the greatest wealth-building opportunity in history.

Since then, a $10,000 investment in the S&P 500 has exploded to $62,000. And guess what? Now, more than half of American households are stockholders. Coincidence?

Not hardly. So, why do I bring this up now?

Earlier, we discussed how less than 10% of U.S. institutional funds are invested in global equities. And the majority of individual investors aren't comfortable looking overseas at all.

Sound familiar? Once again, U.S. investors... now on the sidelines... will be the rocket fuel that will drive the NEXT great bull market.

Twenty years from now, this will look obvious in hindsight. Twenty years from now, everybody will see this is a once-in-a-generation disconnect.

And the clock is ticking. Just last year investors poured $140 billion in new money into foreign company mutual funds. That's up more than 40% from the year before.

A sleeping American giant may already be waking to the massive profit potential offered by global investing.

That means our valuable head-start may be slipping away. Don't let that happen. And don't risk going it alone.

Join me and my team at Motley Fool Global Gains without risk today and start buying and cashing in on the most profitable investment opportunities the world has to offer.
