GOLD has just traded over $900 an ounce. And you need to hedge your bets NOW!

JANUARY 1980
Gold prices set an all-time high of $850/ounce as the dollar fell, oil prices soared, and global peace was strained to exhaustion because of political and religious differences worldwide.

JANUARY 11, 2008
Gold prices crush the 1980 high and hit $900.10 an ounce for the exact same reasons.

Except this time there's a huge difference: All of the underlying fundamentals that skyrocketed gold in 1980 are magnified by at least a thousand this time...

This time the dollar is in an irreversible death-spiral, crude oil prices have topped +$100/barrel, and the stability of societies around the world are becoming more and more fragile by the day as political and religious factions furiously battle.

It's as simple as this: There are absolutely no fundamentals out there right now that point to lower gold prices.

So, buy physical gold? Yes, absolutely!

But you're also going to want a little more risk in your portfolio. More risk, more reward. And the only place to get what you're looking for (mind-blowing investment gains) is in the speculative stock market.

Put it like this: Are you looking for 10:1...20:1...or even 50:1 returns? Of course you are.

The so-called and mostly self-proclaimed "experts" on the boob-tube will tell you that the modern markets are far too efficient to consistently generate those kinds of profits.

Now that may be true for the DOW and NASDAQ companies that the Wall Street guys are trying to ring out. But when it comes to the lightly-covered junior mining sector, it's a completely different story.

You see, it's not uncommon for junior mining companies to experience huge gains (tenfold or more) very quickly as news of a discovery leaks out.

On top of that, the exploding bull market in gold and precious metals not only focuses more attention on the sector, but also causes even more money to be spent on exploration. And the payback on a new find increases dramatically.

It works like this:

Say, for example, Company ABC finds a one million-ounce deposit of gold. And an engineering study suggests this deposit could be mined over ten years at a cost of $250 an ounce, including capital. And let's assume gold sells for only $350 an ounce.

That deposit is worth roughly $100 million.

But if gold shot to $400 an ounce (a 15% increase), the value of the same gold deposit launches to $150 million (a 50% gain). That's over 300% leverage to the gold price (50/15).

Right now, with today's gold price of near $900 an ounce, that deposit is worth $650 million! At $1,000 an ounce it's worth $750 million and at $1,500 an ounce it's worth $1.25 billion.

And if you think gold at $1,500 an ounce is out of the question, think again!

The 1980 record for gold prices of $850 is only the nominal high. When you factor in inflation, you find that gold's value was actually as high as $2,200 an ounce. And I think it's going even higher than that this time for the reasons I've previously mentioned.

For Company ABC and it's shareholders this means heart-pounding investment returns.

I'm talking about gains so big that most people could never even afford to pay the taxes on them right now.

The problem is this: The gold and metals equity markets have grown extremely large over the past few years and have become difficult for untrained investors to successfully navigate and profit.

And to enjoy the gains that have already made countless fortunes for early investors you have to know what to buy and when to buy it.

Investment services such as Greg McCoach's Mining Speculator have been a godsend guiding investors through the gold bull market storm.

And for the past six years, while other investors played stale dusty old blue chips, Greg has been showing home-run investments to people just like you.

In fact, of the 35 stocks that are currently in the Mining Speculator portfolio, only ten are down. And of the 25 stocks that are up, twelve are up over 500% a piece... eight of which have gain more than 1,000%!

Try squeezing that kind of return out of Wall Street. Good luck.

In fact, over the past year the DOW, NASDAQ, and S&P 500 have returned a paltry average of just 2%. You could do better with a standard bank account!

Now, the brokers from the big investment houses might call Greg's stocks too "high-risk/high reward" for general investing. But there's a reason why he's sitting on these massive gains--and luck has a lot less to do with it than you might think.

See, I can tell you first-hand from working with Greg day-in and day-out how he is able to consistently spank the pants off the market averages and deliver multiple triple-digit gains to his subscribers: By spending countless hours tirelessly going over and over every aspect of a particular company before selecting it for recommendation. And when he thinks he's covered every base, he double checks everything. It's a true trial by fire.

I've seen other services out there boasting a fraction of Greg's track record and charging $2,500 or $5,000 a year. Heck, I've even seen them charging $10,000. And their track records are mediocre at best.

The annual membership fee for Mining Speculator is normally $199.

But here's what I'm going to do for you.

In the next 72 hours, you can get Mining Speculator at 50% off.

A great deal, especially since it's backed with his 100% RISK-FREE guarantee.
