By Brian Hicks | Monday, August 11th, 2014 Dear Readers, It gives me great pleasure to introduce my very good friend and longtime colleague, Alex Koyfman, as the newest member of Wealth Dailys editorial staff. I first met Alex when he was fresh out of law school and looking for a way to kill two birds with one stone... First, he wanted to leverage his investment talents into a full-time occupation. Second, he wanted to avoid practicing law. We saw eye-to-eye from the moment we met. Working alongside me, he did both, and in the years following, I watched him achieve his financial goals (he claims to have only just begun), travel the world, and become a fixture in a tightly-knit group of high-net worth investors, venture capitalists, and globe-trotting entrepreneurs. These days, when hes not traveling, Alex lives in a custom-built house in one of the wealthiest communities in the country and has a weekend car, which hes let me drive exactly once. To those of you who dream of being free of the constraints of the everyday grind — dream of being free to move around and do on a daily basis what most take weeks or months to plan — I introduce somebody who has accomplished just that. I want to warn you, though: Hes sometimes abrasive and often too blunt. Nevertheless, I listen to what he has to say, and if youre serious about making the high-potential segment of your portfolio start performing like it was meant to, you should too. To your wealth, Brian Hicks Advertisement The IRS Hates this Tax-Free Loophole Instead of paying the IRS as much as 35%, what if you could invest it? You might make a fortune... Ive found a tax law loophole that will let youcompletely avoid income taxes on a terrific source of income. In fact, you wont pay capital gains taxes, either, even though your profits could be enormous! Its a 100% legal way for you to collect thousands in tax-free income every year. In fact, this tax-free loophole is so powerful, it could have turned $10,000 into $220,425 in just 10 years — plus, you could be getting over $18,000 in tax free income a year. Get the details now, before the IRS tries to close this tax-free loophole. Take it away, Alex... Dont Get Hung Up On Word Choice, Please A lot of people get uptight when they hear the term penny stocks, so for those with delicate sensibilities, lets come up with an nice nickname to get all those heart rates down... Well use something fancy and technical, like “high-yielding micro-cap equity investing.” HiMEE, for short. Im not sure if that sounds better, worse, or just stranger still. In all seriousness, though, high-yielding micro-cap investing is exactly what you are doing when you buy shares of a company whose total value is $100 million or less. Its actually far more accurate than calling these stocks penny stocks because many such micro-market capitalization, or micro-cap, firms trade shares at several dollars — its all a matter of how many shares have been issued and how many are available on the open market. The takeaway, for all who have been taught to tread lightly in this sector, is that trading micro-cap stocks isnt the Wild West show youve probably learned it was. ALL companies, at some point or another (sometimes more than once), exist, live, and breathe as micro caps... There was a moment when Facebook was valued at just $5 million... There was a time when Googles stock, at its current share structure, would have been worth $0.05... Same goes for Apple, Intel, and every other company that started from square one.

And even then, the money they make often amounts to almost nothing. However, thanks to something called daily dividends, thats all changed. In short, you could be collecting daily guaranteedpayouts of $495, $755, even $1,484. As Forbes recently said of this stock market secret, its like finding money in the street. Click here and find out about the daily dividend thats available RIGHT NOW! How the Rich Really Get Richer The problem is that none of those companies were public when they were that small — and the only people investing in them were accredited Angel Investors, a.k.a. venture capitalists... a.k.a. noteveryday people who buy their stock from brokers or through online brokerages like Scottrade. Its a federally mandated rule that people with less than $1 million in the bank or who make less than $200,000 per year (for two years or more as a single taxpayer) cannot participate in early development-stage, non-public companies. Now, I know that as Brians regular readers, many of you may be familiar with this. But I think the point is so important that Im not scared of sounding like Im regurgitating old news... Federal law takes the prospect of four- and five-figure gains off the table for about 99% of investors out there. And Im not exaggerating about those gains, either. Some early-stage investors in Google and Facebook made 10,000 times, or 1 million percent, of their investments. $40,000 invested in Facebook when it was a few months old would be worth close to half a billion today. Hell, a graffiti artist hired by Mark Zuckerberg to decorate the companys first office, who took shares instead of cash, made $200 million. $100,000 invested in Google during the early financing stages would be a cool billion bucks today. (I actually know somebody — a friend of the Brin family — who was offered this opportunity and passed it up... Ouch.) Its an injustice, and its just one of the ways the government keeps the rich getting richer and the non-rich... well, not getting richer. But if you dont have $1 million in the bank and havent been pulling down $200k or more for the last couple years, youre not completely out of the picture. The Secret Investment Plan Thats None of Your Business Abbott Labs, AT&T, Johnson & Johnson, General Electric, Kelloggs, and many other rich companies secret IRM(72) plans are beating the pants off 401(k)s and IRAs by almost one million dollars. But you wont hear about IRM(72) plans because Congress restricts advertising them to Americans. No surprise 99% of folks dont know about them. The few who do are retiring as millionaires. To find out how you can get started right away,please watch this free online presentation right now. Can You Be a Venture Capitalist? Yes... Quite Easily. You see, there are companies out there today with the same multi-billion dollar potential that are just getting started... and that you can invest in. Theyre publicly traded, and one day, they will hit the same peaks as some of todays household names. My passion is finding these companies, getting them early, and watching the magic happen. And regardless of what you may have heard about micro-cap stocks, there is a way to weed out the garbage. Following a few basic guidelines, you can immediately reduce a vast majority of your risk exposure: Avoid the Dividends: Earlier-stage companies need to be reinvesting, not doling out profits. Cash Reserves: This implies a healthy, stabilized debt-to-equity ratio, meaning the company has room to operate, execute R&D and marketing campaigns, hire new staff, and buy new equipment. If the company is a body, the cash is the blood. You dont want an anemic infant. Strong Profit Margins: A good profit margin isnt essential, but its indicative of stability and further growth. Gross Margins of 50% or Better: This implies that the business model works and will continue to keep the company profitable moving forward. Tight Share Structure: Fewer shares for a small company means that a.) individual shares will be valued higher and thus carry an appearance of stability and b.) positive news will have a stronger effect on trading volume as a percentage of the total market capitalization. In short, good news will drive gains faster. If youre seeing a pattern up there, it can be summed up in one word: stability. I know; stability isnt something you typically anticipate in companies you think are on the verge of blowing up (not imploding, mind you). But its exactly this sort of stability that sets young companies up for the meteoric growth you dream of. Apple would never have been able to develop its first commercially successful PC, the Apple 2, without this sort of stability. Google would never have had the liquidity to build its first data center without it. So once you apply these filters, youre already nine-tenths of the way to finding a great company. This is something you can do with just a few clicks of your stock screener. That last 10%... thats the hard part. Thats where you need to actually to anticipate what has potential to be big tomorrow as opposed to today. Calling market trends is the one common thread through all of investing, and it matters here as much as anywhere. In fact, it matters the most here because here, trends can swing stocks double-digit percentages in mere hours — one stock I own did it just today. Let me tell you, watching those green digits tick up never gets old. Im Fun Once You Get to Know Me Im going to be writing a lot about these high-performance micro-cap stocks in the coming months, so get ready. Ill show you how to apply the filters, and Ill show you what can happen, as well as what shouldnt everhappen, as a result. I will leave you with my favorite ancient proverb... It was known to its original authors, the Romans, as:Audentes fortuna adiuvat. It has been quoted throughout history, has been adopted as the motto of famous military units and naval vessels, and appears on the crests of a number of prominent families. The English translation, much like the original Latin, is brief, to the point, and irrefutable: Fortune favors the bold. Alex Koyfman
