Gawker — Gossip from Manhattan and the Beltway to Hollywood and the Valley

The rich don't think they're rich because they're ungrateful bastards. The middle class think they're rich because they're dumb bastards. And when you set them straight, they just grasp for more, the greedy bastards.

Dear Beloved,

As you read this, I dont want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Omar Hasan a merchant in Dubai, in
the U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. It has defiled all
forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months
to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my
life so well, as I never really cared or anyone (not even myself) but my
business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always
hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only
thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is
more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.
I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would
live my life a different way from how I have lived it.

Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property
and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few
close friends. I want Allah to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I
have decided to give also to charity organizations, as I want this to be
one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money
to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that
my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I
once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute
the money which I have there to charity Organization in Bulgaria and
Pakistan , they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not
trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left
for them.

The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of
Thirty Five million dollars $35,000,000,00 that I have with a financial
Security Firm abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and
dispatched it to charity organizations. I have set aside 30% for your time
and service. Please reply me with honesty as soon as you receive this
mail.

God be with you.
Omar Hasan.

Special Report

One Stock You Must Buy Before iPhone Fever Strikes Again...

You've probably never even heard this company's name. Yet it's so vital to the "smartphone" revolution that its stock has doubled time and time again since they first hit the shelves.

And if industry insiders are right, millions of people will soon be racing to get their hands on an iPhone 5 -- meaning it may only be a matter of time before this stock takes off again.

Ripped from the headlines

Here's how you can position yourself to profit right now...

March 29, 2011

Dear Opportunistic Investor,

What the financial media is saying about The Motley Fool:

"Solid information and advice for individual investors."
-- The Washington Post

"Humorous and savvy."
-- The Wall Street Journal

"Even billionaires get ideas from The Motley Fool."
-- Time

"Amusing as well as educational."
-- Barron's

"An ethical oasis."
-- The Economist

On a muggy fall night in 1985, Bob Pelissier's life changed forever.

It was nearly one in the morning, and the 56-year-old truck driver was flipping through the channels when he came across a late-night infomercial advertising "an unprecedented breakthrough in telecommunications."

Mildly intrigued, Bob listened as the announcer explained that something called a "cellular telephone" was about to "change the lifestyles of millions" -- and that investing in this technology was the "business opportunity of the century."

At first, Bob was skeptical. But when he heard that AT&T predicted one day as many as 40% of all calls would come from cell phones, he slowly began to change his mind.

Now, you probably already know where I'm going with this, but I urge you to bear with me for just a moment longer...

This story has a unique twist that could help you secure a small fortune

Exactly how much are we talking?

Well, had you invested just $5,000 in the little-known stock I'm going to tell you about today shortly before early smartphones (like the BlackBerry 6210) began to hit the market, today you'd be sitting on over $224,000.

Granted, I can't guarantee those kinds of gains going forward, but I can tell you that one of the smartest investors I've ever met is convinced that right now is the perfect time to get invested in this breakout company. And he's not alone...

Famed money manager Gary Kaminsky calls this company "a pure play on wireless growth" and notes that it's "generating tremendous amounts of cash with a very shareholder-friendly focus."

CNBC's Lee Brodie says he likes this company because it's "closely tied to an industry that's poised to explode."

Oppenheimer analyst Timothy Horan says that of the select few companies that operate in this extremely important wireless niche, this one is "not only the biggest but also the best managed."

And apparently he's not the only one who thinks so...

Harvard Business Review recently named this company's longtime leader one of the "Top 100 Best-Performing CEOs in the World."

Nevertheless, you might be wondering if you wouldn't just be better off investing in a well-known giant like Apple or Verizon.

Which brings me back to my original story...

As you've probably guessed, Bob Pelissier and his wife, Lorraine, went on to retire as multi-millionaires -- despite the fact that he drove a big rig for the better part of four decades and she worked 12 hours a day selling sandwiches out of the back of a van.

And it probably comes as no surprise that dozens of other people just like Bob and Lorraine walked away with just as much -- if not more.

But here's something that I'm pretty sure WILL surprise you...

These folks didn't invest in the companies that made cell phones (like Apple)... or even in the carriers that owned and operated the cellular networks (like Verizon).

Instead, they invested in something far less obvious -- but far more valuable...

You see, what they essentially ended up buying were the rights to the radio frequencies that cell phones use to make wireless phone calls (tech types call this "spectrum").

In fact, Bob Pelissier owned the rights for just two cities: Manchester and Nashua, New Hampshire.

Now, I realize that doesn't sound all that impressive.

But, here's the thing...

Had Bob invested in a company that made cell phones, the value of his investment would have been directly tied to how many cell phones that company was able to sell.

Had he invested in a specific cellular carrier, it would have been directly tied to how many subscribers that carrier's network was able to attract -- and let's not forget that the competition was just as fierce back then as it is today.

But because all cell phones used the same radio frequencies, the value of the spectrum Bob owned increased regardless of which cell phone brands people were buying or carriers they were choosing.

All that mattered was that more and more people were using cell phones all the time.

In other words, it was the ultimate win-win wireless investment.

Today, I'm going to introduce you to an incredibly similar opportunity

Granted, this company doesn't own, license, or lease spectrum -- but it does provide behind-the-scenes infrastructure that is absolutely crucial to the functioning of virtually all cell phone networks...

Meaning its value isn't dependent on the success of any one cell phone brand or carrier.

But in order to fully understand exactly why it could double -- or even triple -- your money in the coming years, we need to quickly take a look at what has happened in the cell phone industry over the past decade...

Up until about seven years ago, the term "smartphone" meant about as much to most people as "cell phone" did to Bob Pelissier back in 1985.

Crowd of people
Over the past 3 years, AT&T has seen
smartphone traffic soar 5,000%

But then a company called Research In Motion developed the BlackBerry, and before long, they started appearing in the hands of every time-strapped businessman in America.

Sensing a golden opportunity, Apple developed the iPhone, which instantly became the No. 1 must-have gadget for everyone from teenagers to professors, hippies to soccer moms.

And nowadays it's highly unlikely you can find someone who doesn't spend all day glued to one of these devices.

In fact, AT&T has seen smartphone traffic jump by more than 5,000% over the past three years -- and it's been a similar story for the other major carriers, too.

Of course, the major advantage that smartphones have over regular cell phones is that you can do just about anything on them -- check your email, log on to Facebook, surf the Web, or watch YouTube videos.

Some analysts are going so far as to predict that mobile devices like smartphones will end up replacing traditional computers altogether. And the stats certainly back that assertion up...

According to a recent report from Morgan Stanley, by 2012 there will be more smartphones sold worldwide than desktop and notebook PCs combined.

As you can imagine, this is putting far greater demands on existing cell phone networks. After all, it's one thing to transmit voices wirelessly and quite another to stream massive amounts of complex data.

Not to mention, more and more people are making the switch to smartphones each and every day.

As a result, companies like AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile are being forced to spend billions to constantly expand and upgrade their networks.

And right there is our shot to make some serious money!

You see, only a handful of highly specialized companies have the state-of-the-art technology and artful know-how needed to build and maintain the infrastructure that allows these cellular carriers to keep pace with this unprecedented surge in demand.

And the company I'm writing you about today stands head and shoulders above all the rest!

Cell Tower
Thanks to an unprecedented surge in
smartphone traffic, demand for cell
sites like this one continues to soar.

Currently, it owns and operates roughly 37,000 "cellular transmission sites" around the world, which it leases out to all major cellular carriers at ever-increasing rates.

And not only is it the largest company of its kind, it's also the most profitable.

Over just the past 12 months, it has cranked out a whopping $674 million in free cash flow -- nearly double that of its closest competitor.

Speaking of which, competition isn't all that much of a concern here.

For one thing, favorable zoning laws in many of the places this company operates give it sole control of large amounts of territory.

For another thing, it sports much higher profit margins and a lower debt-to-capital ratio than any of its competitors.

And its abundant cash flow allows the company to reinvest in the business as well as expand to new countries and new markets.

Lately there's even been talk about restructuring the company as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) so that it can start returning some of this cash to shareholders.

In fact, in a recent interview on CNBC's Fast Money, the company's CEO confessed that he believes that "dividends will be paid in the next two to three years."

As investment legend Gary Kaminsky pointed out after that interview, there are "very few companies that can grow and return capital to shareholders."

But this is certainly one of them.

So, by now, I imagine you are starting to see why I think this is such an incredible opportunity.

But here's why it's so crucial that you snap up shares of this tremendous growth stock today...

Apple iPhone 4
It took Apple just 3 days to sell 1.7 million of the iPhone 4. But if insiders are right, the iPhone 5 launch could be EVEN BIGGER.

As you're probably well aware, Apple just released it's highly-anticipated iPad 2.

And demand for this sleeker, speedier version of the original has been nothing short of overwhelming.

In fact, Business Insider notes that in some larger cities, like San Francisco, "people started lining up at 10 a.m. to get shipments that came in the NEXT morning."

Gene Munster, a senior Apple analyst at Piper Jaffray, estimates that as many as half-a-million were sold on the first day alone...

And The Wall Street Journal reports that, on the first day the iPad 2 went on sale, some people were selling their spots in line for as much as $900.

So, you can imagine the kind of demand we're going to see when Apple releases a sleeker, speedier version of its insanely-successful iPhone -- which a recent article on MSNBC.com suggests could be as early as June 20, or a little less than three months from now.

Granted, at this point no one knows for sure when the iPhone 5 will hit shelves -- or if it will have the larger screen, 4G capabilities, and "virtual wallet" technology that so many industry insiders have speculated it will...

But one thing that's for sure is that demand for this device should be legendary, especially given that it will be the first iPhone simultaneously made available to both AT&T and Verizon customers...

And you can bet that the massive influx of people that will soon be using the latest and greatest version of Apple's groundbreaking smartphone is going to put major stress on existing cellular networks...

Plus, don't forget that competitors are constantly racing to develop even more sophisticated smartphones all the time, too.

In fact, according to a recent article in PC World, nearly 33 million Android-based smartphones were sold in the fourth quarter of 2010 alone -- making Google's Android operating system the world's best-selling smartphone platform.

And Google's CEO, Eric Schmidt, says that another 300,000 Android phones are being activated per day.

Of course, this wireless arms race is going to put even more stress on the current cellular networks -- which, in turn, will send demand for the transmission sites this company builds and operates right through the roof.

Even so, you might be wondering if it's too late to get invested...

Which is why I'm going to let you in on some little-known information...

Not only did one of America's most trusted stock-pickers just feature this incredible company in his award-winning financial newsletter... but he's also convinced there's never been a better time to snap up shares.

But why should you trust him?

Well, for starters, because he's legendary for leading investors to huge winners after all the hotshots on Wall Street have declared it's "too late" to cash in.

For instance, back in 2005, he recommended robotic surgery specialist Intuitive Surgical in the very same newsletter I just mentioned.

At the time, shares were selling for $44.17. One year prior, shares had sold for $17.46, and a year before that they were selling for just $8.68.

You read that right... Intuitive Surgical had risen 500% in the two years before he recommended it -- and that scared lesser investors off.

But this visionary investor recognized that Intuitive Surgical was both "top dog" and "first mover" (more on this in just a moment) in a rapidly emerging industry and that it still had plenty of room to run...

And as it turns out, he was right on the money!

Shares recently traded as high as $393 -- meaning investors who followed his lead have been able to turn every $10,000 invested into as much as $89,000.

But make no mistake, this wasn't just some sort of lucky break or fluke.

You see, this investor first caught the financial media's attention when he recommended AOL in the summer of 1994 -- after it had quadrupled in just 12 short months.

Of course, the story is the same with AOL... he identified AOL as both a "top dog" and "first mover," and he knew its growth was just getting started -- despite what everyone on Wall Street was saying.

Sure enough, just six short years later, AOL was a 100-bagger -- turning every $10,000 invested into a whopping $1 million -- and transforming this growth investor into a living legend.

And here are just a few more of the incredible investment opportunities he's led investors to recently:

  • Baidu -- Up 1,345%
  • Green Mountain Coffee Roasters -- Up 580%
  • SXC Health Solutions -- Up 355%
  • MercadoLibre -- Up 346%
  • Akamai Technologies -- Up 190%

By now, I imagine you're ready to meet this legendary investor and hear more about the incredible "top dog" and "first mover" I've been telling you about today. But first...

Please allow me a proper introduction

My name is Mark Brooks, and I publish the award-winning financial newsletter that I mentioned a moment ago...

It's called Motley Fool Rule Breakers, and it's headed up by the extremely successful stock-picker I've been telling you about today...

You may have already guessed that I'm talking about David Gardner -- co-founder of The Motley Fool.

David Gardner on CNBC
David Gardner on CNBC's Worldwide Exchange
-- October 7, 2010

After all, you've probably seen David on CNBC discussing his favorite growth stocks with some of the nation's other top-tier equity analysts...

Or perhaps you've read one of his many best-selling investment books...

Or maybe you're just familiar with some of his remarkable stock recommendations... eBay in 1999... Starbucks in 1998... AOL in 1994... Amgen in 1998... Amazon in 1997.

Regardless, it's not hard to see why Money.com says he's "among the most widely followed stock-pickers in the world."

And I'm sure you can understand why any time David Gardner and the Rule Breakers team get excited about an investment opportunity, I stand up and take notice...

Well, right now they're extremely excited about the fortune-building potential of the company I've been telling you about today.

In fact, they just put together a brand-new premium research report that runs down all of the reasons they think it could be one of their biggest winners yet.

The Ultimate Wireless WinnerIt's called "The Ultimate Wireless Winner: One Stock You Must Buy Before iPhone Fever Strikes Again" and it will give you everything you need to get invested in this breakout stock today with 100% confidence.

I'd like to send you a free copy of this special report as a "thank you" for hearing me out today.

That way you can position yourself ahead of the masses that will inevitably begin flowing into this stock once Wall Street wakes up to this opportunity.

But first, let me quickly tell you what I mean by "top dog" and "first mover" and explain why this company is the epitome of a Rule Breaker...

Six traits that consistently lead to life-changing profits

Motley Fool Rule Breakers

It's quite simple really.

A "top dog" is a company that dominates its industry... and a "first mover" is a company with a technology or product so revolutionary that it disrupts an existing industry and creates an entirely new one.

On the rare occasion that you find a company that is both a top dog and a first mover, the chances are pretty good that you've found your next big winner...

Just think of eBay in the online auction market... Amazon in the online retail market... or Netflix in the DVD-rental market (David led investors to big gains on all three).

These companies redefined the way business was done, launched entirely new industries, and continue to dominate those industries to this day. And you don't need me to tell you how handsomely they've rewarded shareholders along the way.

So you can see why David Gardner and his Rule Breakers team work around the clock to find companies that are both top dogs and first movers.

But they don't stop there... You see, David discovered long ago that in order to find companies that will deliver truly life-changing investment returns, you have to break the rules and go against much of what passes for "wisdom" on Wall Street.

That's why he searches for companies with...

  • a sustainable competitive advantage that can be exploited for years to come (like exclusive rights to highly in-demand cellular transmission sites all around the world)
  • strong past price appreciation (like 4,500%+ gains in under a decade)
  • excellent management (like a long-standing CEO who top-notch equity analysts and the Harvard Business Review alike have called out as being one of the best in the world)
  • strong consumer appeal (like being the top behind-the-scenes provider to one of the world's most in-demand industries)

And here's the big one...

  • documented proof that the financial media thinks it's "overvalued"

I've heard this company's valuation called everything from "frothy" to downright "expensive"...

But don't forget, many of David Gardner's biggest winners were recommended after all the fast-talking experts on Wall Street already declared you'd missed your chance to buy.

And when you take into account this company's potential for blockbuster growth outside the U.S., I think you'll agree that there's never been a better time to buy.

In fact, it's the No. 1 reason to get this wireless winner into your portfolio today...

Earlier I explained that every time a cellular provider like AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint wants to expand its network, this company absolutely rakes it in.

But honestly, when it comes to growth potential, the U.S. is just the tip of the iceberg.

You see, of the 37,000 cell sites this company currently operates, roughly 7,000 are in emerging markets like Brazil, Mexico, and India.

Granted, that's not a very large percentage, but get this...

India
In India, 500,000 people are signing up for cell
phones per day.

In India, over 550 million people already have cell phones -- and another half a million are signing up per day!

Sarah Lacy of TechCrunch reports, "Even in slums where people live on less than $2 per day, everyone has a [cell] phone."

And analysts estimate that in order to keep up with this surge in cell phone use, as many as 150,000 new cellular transmission sites will need to be constructed in the next couple of years in India alone.

As you can imagine, it's a similar story in Mexico and Brazil -- which are both experiencing unprecedented growth in cell phone usage.

And I'm sure you can guess who's in the perfect position to build and maintain these new cell sites...

Of course, given this company's rock-solid balance sheet and ample free cash flow, it's also well-positioned to buy the rights to existing cell sites from companies that aren't in such strong financial positions.

In fact, a just-completed deal will give it control of roughly 4,500 more cell sites in India -- which puts it well on the road to its goal of tripling its presence there within the next year.

Not to mention, this company recently bought 3,200 cell sites in South Africa and entered another partnership in Ghana -- giving it a major head start in what is sure to be one of the fastest growing cellular markets of the next 10 to 20 years.

But as exciting a growth opportunity as this is, I certainly wouldn't want you to invest based solely on what I have been able to tell you here today.

That's why I'd like to rush you a copy of our just-released special report, "The Ultimate Wireless Winner." You can even download it and print it out right this minute, if you like.

And again, I want you to have it with my compliments.

All I ask in return is that you accept something else with my compliments...

It's a personal invitation to sample everything Rule Breakers has to offer for an entire month -- without having to risk even one dime.

That's right... I want you to take a FULL 30 DAYS to have a look around... to read up on all our current and past growth stock recommendations... to dig through all our in-depth stock research... to download all our premium research reports... and to comb through our exclusive members-only discussion boards -- where you'll discover investment insights you simply won't find anywhere else.

And if after a month you're not 100% convinced that Rule Breakers can help you grow your hard-earned money into a lasting fortune -- or you just don't feel it's right for you -- simply call our customer service hotline and ask for Andy.

He works right down the hall from me and will be happy to promptly and courteously refund every last cent -- no questions asked.

And should you want to cancel at any point after your first month, that's fine, too. We'll happily refund the full dollar value of the remainder of your membership term. Again, no questions asked.

But I must insist on one point...

Regardless of how long you're with us, your copy of "The Ultimate Wireless Winner"... plus all the valuable research and reports you can access on our members-only website... plus two special bonus reports valued at over $125 (full details just ahead) ARE ALL YOURS TO KEEP -- with our compliments.

This is our "keep everything" & "risk nothing" DOUBLE GUARANTEE

It's also our way of saying "thank you" for giving David Gardner and Motley Fool Rule Breakers an honest shot at helping you achieve your financial dreams.

Of course, this kind of guarantee makes it possible for you to snap up everything we've mentioned today and not pay a single cent.

And that's fine with us. That's how confident we are that our hard work and diligence can help make you some serious profits... and how sure we are that once you see everything Rule Breakers has to offer, you'll want to stick around for the long haul.

Speaking of which...

Let's quickly review everything you'll get when you join us at Rule Breakers absolutely risk-free today...

The instant you join us I'll send you a copy of "The Ultimate Wireless Winner" so you can position yourself to profit from the incredible growth opportunity I've told you about today with 100% CONFIDENCE.

Plus, as an added bonus I'll throw in one of the most successful and highly sought-after special reports we've ever put together here at Motley Fool Rule Breakers. Have a look...

The 3 Kings of Cloud ComputingThe 3 Kings of Cloud Computing (a $29 value -- yours FREE!): Reveals David Gardner's top 3 cloud computing plays (including two little-known stocks that are already up 190% and 276% -- yet are poised to soar much higher) and shows you exactly how to position yourself to cash in on this fortune-making investment boom.

Of course, you'll also get immediate access to everything on our exclusive password-protected, members-only website, including...

  • Live Interactive Scorecard -- Constantly updated throughout the trading day, so you can see exactly how every Rule Breakers pick is doing relative to the S&P 500. Plus, simply click on any stock to find in-depth research write-ups, updates, discussion boards, and much more.
  • Weekly Updates -- So you'll have all the important information you need, from when to buy and sell to analysis of specific developments that affect your money. And, of course, access to all previous updates is never more than a click away.
  • 24/7 Access to All Back Issues -- So you can easily get the full story on all our past Rule Breakers recommendations -- when it's convenient for you.
  • Lively Discussion Boards -- Where you can get the inside story on a stock directly from the candid experiences of the company's employees, customers, and investors. You can also post questions or talk stocks with other members and the Rule Breakers team at any hour of the day -- all from the comfort of your home.

Then, on the fourth Wednesday of every month you're with us, you'll receive an email alerting you that a brand-new issue of Motley Fool Rule Breakers is available online.

You can download and print this electronic issue anytime you like -- and, for your convenience, we'll also mail a hard copy directly to your home or office.

Each new Rule Breakers issue contains the full story on not one -- but TWO -- breakout growth stocks that can help you lock down some serious profits.

And every Rule Breakers recommendation comes with an in-depth research write-up -- including company profile, product descriptions, competitive analysis, risk analysis, and discussion of the company's finances and sales prospects.

Some advisory services charge thousands of dollars for access to premium services like this

And you might think that we would, too -- especially considering that our average pick is outperforming the S&P 500 by a whopping 49%.

But believe it or not, you can put David Gardner and the entire Rule Breakers team to work for you for a mere fraction of that.

In fact, normally you can join Motley Fool Rule Breakers for just $299 per year.

I think you'll agree that's a bargain in itself, considering all the valuable wealth-building tools and fortune-making stock picks you'll have access to.

Neil A. of Brookline, MA, certainly seems to think so. He recently wrote us to say:

"Paying for your services is the best money I spend, and I extract FAR more value than I am paying in. You can take the profit from any of the big winners I have bought because of you guys and that alone more than covers the cost."

But, because it's only a matter of time until the iPhone 5 is released, and I don't want you to risk missing out on your chance to cash in, I've arranged an even better deal for you.

When you join us right now through this personal invitation, you can knock a FULL $150 off the regular membership price.

That's 50% LESS than many other investors have gladly paid. It's also the lowest price we've ever offered.

And when you do the math, it comes out to just $2.87 per week.

Just think, with that little amount of money, you could either buy yourself a cup of coffee -- or get your hands on rule-breaking, fortune-making stocks like these...

  • Salesforce.com -- Up 335%
  • SXC Health Solutions -- Up 355%
  • MercadoLibre -- Up 346%
  • Akamai -- Up 190%
  • Intuitive Surgical -- Up 617%
  • Baidu -- Up 1,345%
  • Universal Display -- Up 415%
  • Vertex Pharmaceuticals -- Up 324%
  • Chipotle Mexican Grill -- Up 307%
  • Rackspace Hosting -- Up 276%

And don't forget, you can sample everything Rule Breakers has to offer for a full 30 days -- without any risk whatsoever!

Plus, as a final bonus, I'll include one of the most comprehensive reports The Motley Fool has ever released (a $99 value) absolutely free when you join us at Rule Breakers today. Have a look...

Just Published! Stocks 2011: The Investor's Guide to the Year Ahead -- Yours Absolutely FREE!

Your shot at lucrative profits in 2011 awaits...

Money's flowing back into the market. And investor bullishness is creeping higher, reports the American Association of Individual Investors. The "return of retail investors argues for caution," argues The Wall Street Journal.

Following the crowd WILL NOT get you rich! That's precisely why Motley Fool Co-founders David and Tom Gardner recently rounded up a team of the nation's top equity analysts and went to work indentifying those stocks that will continue to rise even after the euphoria subsides...

Stocks 2011: The Investor's Guide to the Year Ahead (a $99 value -- YOURS FREE!)

After exhaustive research and number-crunching, The Motley Fool's top stock-pickers emerged with 11 stocks that will uniquely position you for profits in 2011, including...

Stocks 2011

  • A consumer goods company many are calling the Nike of China. It's conquered Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, and now has its sights set on launching higher-end brands in Tier 1 cities. If it can replicate its past success, it has the potential to "become the largest national brand in China."
  • A leading purveyor of broadband telecommunications equipment -- an industry where consumption doubles every 18 to 24 months. Just a $1 billion company, it offers massive growth potential or will make a lucrative acquisition for a larger competitor like Cisco.
  • An up-and-coming asset manager that has grown assets under management a mind-boggling 57% per year since 2004. It's out of favor on Wall Street, but when the sentiment turns, investors in this company stand to cash in on this tidal wave.

You'll discover these three top picks, plus eight more powerful profit opportunities, the instant you download your FREE copy of Stocks 2011: The Investor's Guide to the Year Ahead.

Don't forget -- this is the highly sought-after report that, year after year, has handed investors market-beating returns. Our top pick from last year is up 103%. And we're confident several companies featured in this year's report could do the same.

So don't delay! Get your copy of Stocks 2011 right now -- ABSOLUTELY FREE!

Yet you'll only pay a fraction of that -- and you won't have to risk even one dime.

Gawker — Gossip from Manhattan and the Beltway to Hollywood and the Valley

Still on the baby insanity... Check out the comments!

E.g.

farewelltypewriter 03:36 PM

I am cursed to work in a Midtown law firm's trust & estates department. I was discussing a trust for yet-to-be-born twins with their parents and asked if they had selected names for their daughters. Of course they had. Pairis and Londtwin. I said, "Excuse me?" and pondered an appointment with an ear, nose and throat specialist. I could not have heard that correctly. In the grand tradition of those who offer far too much information, the parents proceeded to explain that they weren't sure if they were conceived in London or Paris and wanted to give them names to indicate they were twins (because, apparently, having a sibling the exact same age isn't enough). I also work with a client who adopted two children from China and re-named them Sasha and Malia.

Fw: What's next for the Next Big Jewish Idea?


From: "Scott Minkow, The Jewish Federation" <NextBigJewishIdea@JewishLA.org>

Subject: What's next for the Next Big Jewish Idea?

The Next Big Jewish Idea

Hi Next Big Jewish Idea Participant,

The first round of the search for the Next Big Jewish Idea closed last week, and the community response has exceeded even our most optimistic expectations.

We received hundreds of brilliant ideas from community members, entertainers, educators, philanthropists, students and entrepreneurs. And by midnight last Thursday, we had received over 100,000 votes for those ideas!  

The top three vote recipients will advance to the final round of voting, but we're not quite ready to announce the finalists. Our staff is busy analyzing the online tallies and eliminating any fraudulent votes. Once we're 100% certain we know who the top three legitimate vote recipients are, we will announce them to our entire community.

Along with the top three vote recipients, three more ideas chosen by our panel of judges will advance to the final round. Believe me, it's going to be incredibly difficult to pick those last three ideas.

In fact, we received so many good ideas that our judges need more time to select their three finalists. So we've decided to start the final round of voting on May 2nd, and extend it until June 3rd.

Thank you for your participation in round one, and for your keen interest in caring for Jews in need, engaging in the community and ensuring the Jewish future.

We'll be in touch soon with information about our finalists!
