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 22 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 give you 11 times the long-term return of bonds and twice the income of the S&P 500.
- It gives you growth that beat the markets by a 13% gain versus the S&P’s 11% loss since the market peak in 2000.
- 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 22-year history with this investment is any indication, I can help you earn an average 13.3% return every year, which is what my subscribers’ safe portfolios achieved during that time.
- Best of all, today is the greatest buying opportunity in more than a decade, giving you a
short window to double your income overnight.
In fact, the last time you had a buying opportunity this good was 17 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 13.3% average annual returns. And nothing says safety like a 22-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 27 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—13.3% average annual returns, including yields that average over 5.04% right now.
That’s in the safe portfolio. But even my ultra-conservative high-income portfolio has averaged 10.72% over its 13 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 6.7% today, and has raised dividends 27 times in the last ten years alone. Since I first recommended the stock in 2004 it has given subscribers total returns of 150.8%.
- Another has filled my subscribers’ pockets with a wealth-making 34% average per year for the past 16 years, which is exactly what these special income machines are supposed to do. You might think there’s no growth left in this old workhorse, but in the last five years dividends have gone up nine times, for a total 86% increase in income. And right now share price is taking off on another leg higher, so jump on this one fast!
- A third has paid dividends since 1939. But let’s say you bought this legacy stock “recently,” in 1985. You’d be collecting average compound returns of 21% every year. Don’t let this stock’s age fool you, because it still performs like a youngster, raising dividends by an average 11% over the past five years and scoring 40% capital gains in the past year alone!
Recent quarterly earnings are up 32% over a year ago. I recommended the stock to subscribers 81 months ago and we’ve already made 200.4%.
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 not only paying you to own them, but have excellent upside potential!
No wonder my subscribers aren’t the only ones loading up on select utilities….
Warren Buffett and Carl Icahn are buying. You should, too.
When the world’s best investors buy what you’re buying, it’s always a good sign. So when Warren Buffett and his pal Bill Gates flew into Gillette, Wyoming, in November 2010, I decided to find out what they were up to.
A little Wyoming newspaper spilled the beans — the dynamic duo were in town to visit a coal mine. A coal mine owned by a large utility company…
A few months later, in March 2011, Buffett revealed in his famous Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder letter that he’s bucking for a major acquisition in 2011.
The smart money is betting that Warren is buying more electricity– and energy– related holdings.
They’re not the only ones, either. Super-investor Carl Icahn just increased his shares in one natural gas producer by 25%, making it his fourth largest holding. Plus he’s been loudly trying to buy power company Dynergy lately.
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…
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 40.99% 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 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.”
This income superstar pays out only 64% of its earnings as dividends...that means a niceincome stream for you and plenty of money remaining in the company's coffer to fund continued growth. It's win-win, good income now and growth like this should mean even better earnings and dividends for you down the road.And I know who’s got it right. Invest in this company and the income from this stock alone could fuel a healthy retirement...
One of its surprising innovations is that the company has the second largest solar power farm in the state. That not only makes it a good environmental system, it saves the company the
equivalent of 3,000 barrels of oil and 1.4 million pounds of carbon dioxide. It sells the power to a local electric company.
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.
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. Now their reach spreads from India’s western border to China’s far north, and all the way to Australia. Already the company is the largest electricity industry foreign investor in Australia, India and China. In China alone they have more than 40 power projects and a combined gross capacity ofnearly 19,000 megawatts.
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...
Endless Income Stream #3
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. The global downturn made barely a ripple in the growth of internet television,
thanks in part to Asia's strong growth performance.
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.

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.”
