Richard Young

Haven't had a blurb from Richard pushing his Intelligence Report for a while, this one is really well-written and bound to draw in the bunch looking for easy money.

Here's some samples.

Pork, a staple of the Chinese diet, hit a record high price of 26.22 yuan ($4.10) a kilogram in early September. Relentless price rises in staples are harbingers of massive mob violence to come in 2012.


Q. How does China manage to have access to such superior software?
A. They steal it. China buys a meager $5.4 billion of software each year (Americans buy $140 billion worth). Even the Italians spend more! China simply copies the software it wants -- and does so with Beijing's blessing. [not sure what the investment angle is here]


shale oil is new big money.

It uses a breakthrough mechanical technique to squeeze block goop out of rock. That translates to a record 400,000 barrels of shale oil PER DAY in 2011

Want to get a little closer to the campfire, partner? Buy one or two of the explorers who have nailed this hydrofracking technology that squeezes the bejeebers out of shale rock and makes Wyoming farmers dance the Funky Chicken at tax time. [talk about your inspiring writing].


The quality and quantity of gas now available from the Horn River shale formation is staggering. Best way to play this: pipelines. In your investment report, I lay out the case for pipelines and it will make your eyes pop. [hey I'm just typing it in word-for-word]


Mattania, Ontario, is home to Bissett Creek, stunningly rich in large crystal graphite flakes. China has cornered 70% of the world's total supply of graphite, crucial for hybrid batteries, brakes, steel manufacturing, gold clubs and tennis rackets .. and, yes, pencils. But the quality is low.

Northern Graphic Corp, a super-high quality graphite mine with 100% interest in Bissett Creek, launched its IPO in 2011, and I'm watching it like a hawk.

The graphite shortage of 2011 will make the oil crisis look like a stroll in a park. [probably meant to write 2012] That's why the profits you could make in graphite (and natural gas and timber and every resource vulnerable to a short squeeze) could dwarf even the gains Young's Intelligence Report readers have made in oil stocks in the last several years.


Then, there's his 11 Reasons Why Gold Is Shooting to $11,000 in 2012 [currently under 1700]

Here's reason no. 2: Asia cannot feed itself. Food shortages lead to huge social unrest and panic gold hoarding. And no. 7: With 10 million homes and $1.5 trillion in potential losses facing banks, a massive new bankquake is now ready to rock the American system.


When Mao took over, China was mining less than 100 million tons of coal a year. By 2000, it was ONE BILLION tons. By 2010, it was an astonishing 3.2 billion tons. But ... that was the top (in red)

A few weeks ago, Beijing quietly noted that increases in coal production were entirely in the past. Now comes even more ominous news: West Virginia is being asked to stoke China's growth.

We may have more energy beneath our feed than Saudis have sand, but coal is now a rare, precious commodity and investors can expect to continue to be enriched by it mightily in 2012.


Finding the next great wave of energy success stories has nothing to do with luck.

It is just math. And the simple, inevitable, immutable Laws of Math will continue to rule our wealth in 2012.

It will drive, accoring to my math, nearly 100 major cities and even several states toward bankruptcy in 2012.

Natural resources -- gold, oil, food, commercial real estate -- these FOUR strategic resources in particular -- will respond to this crisis as a hypoglycemic patient nearing blackout responds to a needle -- with flat-out panic that will double, triple, quadruple, quintiple prices in a shockingly short matter of days.


[And that's not all!]

It is said that one third of the world's hair falls on Indian shoulders [really?]. The potential for hair-care products in India in mind-boggling. That's why Unilever is up 153% in the past decade, and Procter & Gamble is up 139%.

But one of the most interesting global companies in 2012 makes ... wheat crackers.

This a company with 35% of the snack market in India... in an economy that's growing at 7% a year. It is blessed with a seamless distribution system, a new-broom CEO and a target market that's getting a little richer every day.

The Indian rice farmer who used to buy these snacks for two cents each day to go with his cup of tea is now able to spend ten cents a day on a treat.

Do the math. [My math tells me a return of 7%. Assuming the market share remains at 35% and that ten cents remains ten cents.]


And much more. All for only $99 (normally $249!) for one year. Or even better [for Dick] $189 for two years.
