You and I no doubt have similar goals. Earn well, save well, retire well and never forget to live well every day.
I’m happy to tell you that around two decades ago I uncovered a way to earn a steady income that meets all my goals, partly because of work habits that would make Benjamin Franklin proud, and partly because I discovered an investment that has never failed me.
Over the past 21 years I’ve been able to test and prove, without a shadow of doubt, that this is the best investment ever created for income investors, a steady stream of cash that’s more than enough to live well.
When reliability is important—and when isn’t it?—this is the investment you want to be in.
- It gives you returns that outperformed bonds with 250% gains to bonds' 50% losses since 1977.
- It gives you growth that beat the S&P by 24% gains to the Dow's 26% loss over the past 10 years.
- It’s been paying investors consistently since 1950, and will continue to do so for as long as capitalism is an economic force—and that’s not about to change!
- And if my 21-year history with this investment is any indication, I can help you earn an average 15.47% return every year, which is what my subscribers’ safe portfolios achieved during that time.
- Best of all, even with the rest of the economy in tatters, this investment is solid and growing, pouring out dividends and even capital gains so that shareholders don’t have to worry that their wealth is shrinking.
But this point is critical: You must move quickly, because these stocks’ prices are cheap today, but they’re moving up—11%, 14%, even 15% in just the past 45 days!
In fact, the last time you had a buying opportunity this good was 16 years ago. In 1994 market conditions created an opening and I alerted my subscribers in time for them to catch a growth boost that doubled their average income.
And because of that unique buying opportunity, it also doubled their wealth in just three years—and that’s in an income investment.
You’ll be surprised when you hear what it is, but I don’t want to reveal it just yet. Plenty of investors have the wrong impression. They think an income investment means slow growth—or even no growth.
They’re wrong!
There’s nothing slow about 15.47% average annual returns. And nothing says safety like a 21-year record of top income.
And so give me five minutes and I’ll show you why now is the best time in more than a decade to jump into this income stream that hasn’t run dry in its 100+-year history, and won’t for as long as America keeps the lights on.
First, let me introduce myself.
My name is Roger Conrad, and in the investment industry I’m known as the “tortoise king.”
I think it’s a compliment, and at any rate I’ll take it as one. It was bestowed because of the steady way I win the investing race.
I’ve been in the investment industry for 26 years, and early on became disillusioned with the gambling mentality of Wall Street.
So I set out to find the surest, steadiest, highest-paying investment possible. I found it, too…
The overlooked outperformer.
What is this humble but steadfast investment I discovered? Essential services.
Amazingly, even though more than 100 years of market history prove it outperforms everything else for income, safety and growth, most investors overlook the essential services industries.
Services like electricity, water and communications. There is nothing more stable, secure, safe and growing.
The world can do without another Starbucks or a faster computer. It can even do without Google and eBay. But even in the worst of times it can’t do without lights, heat or clean drinking water.
That single irrefutable and immutable fact is central to every investment decision I’ve made since 1989, when I started my investment advisory, Utility Forecaster.
Since then essential services stocks have given my subscribers unwavering wealth that bears repeating—15.47% average annual returns, including yields that average over 5.25% right now.
That’s in the safe portfolio. But even my ultra-conservative high-income portfolio has averaged 10.9% over its 11 years.
And now you’re looking at a buying opportunity so good I haven’t seen its equal since 1994, when skyrocketing demand ran head-on into shrinking supplies, igniting huge shareprice growth on top of solid yields.
In 2008-2009 when the lending market froze up, stocks crashed and the U.S. economy sank into its worst recession in decades, utilities kept pumping out profits, paying dividends and holding the line. Now they're gearing up for what could be the most exciting growth in history as America spends trillions to upgrade its infrastructure.
In a moment I’ll reveal exactly which super-safe essential stocks to buy for big capital gains on top of solid income.
First, discover how easy it is to…
Double your income overnight.
Doubling your income without increasing your risk isn’t as hard as you’ve been led to believe.
Instead of $25,000 a year you could be earning $50,000—on the same size portfolio!
In fact, you could start earning double your current income as soon as tomorrow in utility stocks so stable that they’ve paid and raised dividends nearly every year for a quarter of a century or more.
- One stock in my Utility Forecaster portfolio yields 7.3% today, and has raised dividends 62% since 2006. Since I first recommended the stock in 2004 it has given subscribers total returns of 49%.
- Another yields 8.5% and pays distributions like clockwork 12 times a year. Since recommending it to subscribers 60 months ago, it has shot up 103%.
- A third yields 6.2%. Yes, it’s a bit lower than the others, but within my conservative income-generating portfolios there’s room for some growth, and this one delivers. Besides raising dividends 23 consecutive quarters it has rewarded subscribers with total returns of 373%—compared to the S&P's 27% loss for the same period.
You may notice, too, that each of those stocks paid and raised dividends right through the market crash of 2000, the energy slump of 2002 and the 2007-2009 downturn. Just like an endless stream of income should.
Buy stocks? Now? Are you kidding?
Investors ask me all the time if it’s prudent to buy stocks in this rotten economy. The answer is an absolute, unconditional, pure and simple yes! And not just for their potential to give you profits five years from now—it’s time right now to double your income!
Just by elimination, where else is your money safe, growing and paying you income? Not in Treasury bonds. Their yields are at their lowest in history. Banks and hedge funds and even some countries are collapsing. Corporate bonds are riddled with default potential, CDs and money market funds barely keep up with inflation and most stock sectors are in the tank.
And so it’s a good thing utilities like power generation, water distribution and communications are performing! In fact, over the past three months utilities is the only industry that racked up positive gains for each of its component sectors!
No wonder my subscribers aren’t the only ones loading up on select utilities….
Warren Buffett and John Paulson are buying. You should, too.
When the world’s best investors buy what you’re buying, it’s always a good sign. Today utilities are cheap enough for Buffett and strong enough for Paulson to pick up huge interests, and that’s just what they’re doing left and right.
Over the last few years Buffett’s been loading up on power generation, natural gas pipelines and power distribution companies. As the economy worsened over the second half of 2008, he packed in utilities like a squirrel packs in acorns before a long winter. Buffett bought 3 million shares of one “ute” and then went back for 5 million shares more just a few months later.
And he’s not the only one. John Paulson is the brilliant investor who made 587% in 2007 betting against subprimes. Then in 2008 he made 37.6% by focusing on financial shorts and recession-proof industries like—you guessed it—utilities.
He went on to buy an 11.7% stake in one of the world’s biggest utilities and 14.6% ownership in another—in addition to his holdings in a number of other choice utilities.
Paulson isn’t known as a buy-and-hold guy like Buffett, either. He expects a quick and very significant return on his money. Fortunately, utilities are the best place to get both.
I have a few new stock ideas I have a hunch they’d both be interested in—way undervalued, with above-average yield and solid histories of earnings and dividend growth. Even better, they’re in a sector that is pivotal to global growth and priced to soar, launching you out of losses and all the way to spectacular returns.
Buy these stocks today and you could already be earning double your current income by tomorrow and set yourself up for some of the biggest capital gains you’ve ever had.
Where to start: The best utilities to buy today.
If you’re going to go for the safety and predictable income of my top recommended utility stocks, you might as well take advantage of major trends gaining strength today for capital gains, too.
Because not only will these essential services stocks keep your income steady during these dangerous economic times. And not only could they be the first to soar out of recessionary times, as they traditionally do. Layer those strengths on top of accelerating trends and your total returns could outstrip the wind!
Even while the economy struggles to get back on its feet, unstoppable trends are gaining force. You’re standing at the threshold to the future, the intersection where the world’s dwindling resources crash into its growing need for water, power and instantaneous global communications.
Invest in those companies and you’ll be tapping into a stream of income that will last for at least another generation.Endless Income Stream #1
First you profited from the oil wars. Now there’s something bigger…
Either invest now or be sorry later, because water wars are heating up like the oil wars before them. And water industry stocks are about to do the same, giving you profits of 100% or more in the next two years.
Mark Twain predicted our global water crisis more than 100 years ago when he famously said, “Whiskey’s for drinking, water’s for fighting over.” Scarce even then, it’s in critically short supply now—and getting worse.
Plus the scarcer water becomes, the more valuable your investments will be.
One water stock in my Utility Forecaster portfolio has paid dividends for 59 straight years. The stock has split six times in 12 years, and has given subscribers an average of 34.86% every year for the 16 years it’s been in the portfolio!
That’s on top of dividend payouts that are some of the biggest and steadiest you’ll ever find.
Now a crisis opportunity means even bigger profits for you.
More than 400 million cubic meters of groundwater are pulled from Arizona aquifers every year, twice what’s being replaced by rainfall. That’s just one microcosmic example of what’s going on all over America... and the world.
The United Nations warns that water wars could soon become armed major conflicts. By 2050 nearly half the world’s population will live in areas that are chronically short of water.
Countless technologies, from the harebrained to the heroic, are being tested and put in place to quell the looming crisis.
Turkey sends water to Israel and Cyprus in five-million-gallon floating balloons, and England is considering pipelines to bring water all the way from Scotland.
But the company that gets the technology right stands to become a global leader.
And I know who’s got it right. Invest in this company and the income from this stock alone could fuel a healthy retirement....
“The biggest deal of my life.”
Warren Buffett is an early water investor. So is T. Boone Pickens, who says his “water deal has the potential to be the biggest deal of my life.”
“Desalination” is the word to remember. The technology that extracts salts and other impurities from brackish water is fast becoming a global force.
A 20-year, $785.6 million contract was just inked for a major desalination plant in Australia. Multi-billion-dollar contracts are being awarded to a handful of private companies for projects in the Middle East. And plants are popping up in water districts all over the U.S.
One company is already a leader in desalination. They built their first sea water reverse osmosis plant in 1989 and have continually improved technology since then, putting them light years ahead of most competitors.
They are actively buying up other water providers and are now a global leader in desalination technology. With exclusive long-term, fixed-price contracts and little competition, they’re growing like mad.
Dividends have rocketed 289% in
the past nine years alone.
Yet with several major contracts and a successful debt swap signaling investor confidence, it’s still well below its highs after being hit in the fourth-quarter ’07 tumble.
The company’s superior technology, long experience and strong management and acquisition business model, combined with a thirsty planet, place this stock right in the sweet spot for investors. It could double in the next 12 months.
Everything you need to know is in a new special report I just released exclusively for my Utility Forecaster subscribers. Get it today and you’ll discover how to make a wise investment in this company. Plus you’ll learn about the whole water industry and other water stocks both to watch and stay away from as the sector becomes a must-own for every investor.
The report is called Liquid Gold Rush, and it’s yours FREE when you take a no-obligation trial subscription to Utility Forecaster, the newsletter that investors call “the one and only financial report” they trust.

But first, there are two other industries that are at a critical point in history where old technologies are fading away and new technologies are creating new global leaders, and I want to make sure you have the opportunity to jump in for big gains.
One of those industries is electric power, and future leaders must be as good at generating clean power as they are at creating shareholder value....

Powering China and your portfolio.
The world’s urgent need for more fuel and electricity is colliding head-on with the new mandate to preserve the environment. And only the companies that can balance both needs—and do it effectively, quickly and cost-efficiently—will thrive.
Which is exactly what this leading-edge company, founded in 1901, is doing.
They’re one of the world’s oldest, most reliable power producers/distributors. Their long-established power contracts fuel a steady stream of cash payouts to you from that ongoing business. Meanwhile they’re reaching out to dominate more and more regions.
Right now they’re building the world’s largest solar plant in Australia, and they just inked a deal for two wind-generated power plants in India with combined output of 183.2 megawatts.
Plus they just opened a 1,200-megawatt coal-fired plant in China that was completed on schedule and built for half what it would cost in the West.
And they’re replicating those efficiencies in bids across Asia and beyond with their proven expertise in both traditional and a wide variety of alternative energies—which are, as we know, less alternative and more mainstream every day.
Most important, their relations with China date back to 1985, when they built China’s first nuclear power plant.
Now they’ve built and are operating China’s premier nuclear power plant, which is also being used as China’s nuclear training grounds to pump out a steady stream of engineers to man the plants.
China’s building 30 nuclear plants over the next 12 years, and I expect some sizable contracts to go to this company.
Buy now, while this one’s cheap.
All those projects are good reasons why they've beaten the Dow in just about every time period over the past 10 years. Their stock is climbing steadily from its 2008 low, and is on track to keep growing for many years to come.
Yet even with that growth the stock still trades at less than $10 today, and trading volume is so low that I’m amazed so few investors have found this hidden gem.
It’s not often you find a stable income investment that also gets a hefty capital gains kick from China’s growth. Not to mention one that mows right through downturns.
This is definitely one of the few there are. And it’s definitely one that you’ll want to put in your portfolio now, while it’s cheap, and let it fuel your income and your wealth for years to come as the company’s profits flow in from their expanding world-wide operations.
You’ll discover this future multinational, along with a dozen more stocks that are branching out to control the globe’s demanding utility needs, in another special report, Powering China. And it’s yours free when you subscribe to my Utility Forecaster.
Chances are you’ve never heard of most of the stocks in this report. Most don’t do business in the U.S., and some are only now expanding out of their home regions.
But every one of them has potential to be a future global leader, and they all trade on U.S. exchanges so you can easily buy and sell.
The same is true of the third must-own industry you need to know about. And this one is...

A “game changer.”
Every now and then a company comes along that not only changes the rules of the game, it changes the game itself. Think Microsoft, eBay, Wal-Mart.
The world of communications is about to experience another game change, and it’s going to hit you right at home.
Your phone service carrier is entering the entertainment business by offering live TV programming and downloading of just about anything you want, right over your computer, as part of your phone and broadband service package.
Meanwhile, as part of your wireless package you’ll get the same media choices over your cell phone. And if you think it’s far-fetched that anyone would want movies or TV on their cell phone, you don’t have a teenager!
Internet protocol television (IPTV) already has 28 million subscribers, and is expected to jump 264% by 2014. Europe’s IPTV subscribers soared 250% in 2007 alone, and doubled worldwide in 2008 even as economies faltered. In fact, broadband growth has actually accelerated thus far in 2009.
A battle is brewing between the world’s biggest carriers to see who will own the space. Two will win.
Both are undervalued today, but one is an especially good buy, and I expect its stock to shoot up 150% in the next five years as it leaps ahead in subscriber numbers.
You don't get chances like this very often. One of the world's most stable companies, with plenty of free cash flow to pay out four times a year in hefty checks to shareholders.
The stock is off its high, giving you a perfect buying opportunity. Get in now and enjoy the income, but hold on tight for the growth ahead!
You’ll discover the name of this stock in my special report, Broadband Billions.

The legendary Lowell Miller, billion-dollar fund manager and author of the dividend bible, The Single Best Investment¸ calls Roger Conrad a “hard-working, independent thinker” who is “almost always right.”

Professor Carter says, “My father told me, ‘There is only one investment newsletter that I find useful and I urge you to continue reading, and that’s Utility Forecaster.’ I have been reading—and profiting from—Utility Forecaster ever since.”
Others, like Richard Bennet of El Cajon, California, say, “Utility Forecaster has been the keystone in my investment program, enabling me to comfortably retire early.”
And John D. MacLachlan says I am “one of the few PROFESSIONAL investment grade advisors in North America, and possibly well beyond these shores.”
Utility Forecaster has been called “the nation’s leading advisory” on utilities, and I’ve been called “one of the top independent analysts of the essential services industry.”
But my best reward is the success of subscribers.
