I’ve been working feverishly around the clock to develop a massive and all-inclusive guide to the best stock market picks of 2009, and tonight I have finally completed my work! You can play with internet marketing all that you want, but there is simply no asset pool that will ever match the potential gains of the stock market. Imagine throwing $1,000 into a stock one day, and walking away with twice that the next… this actually happens on a regular basis in the markets… and I feel the time is right.

Considering the insane gains available in the stock market, there is always going to be downside risk. This is NOT an eBook that I have developed myself, I have worked exclusively with 10 professionally-minded mutual fund managers that specialize in every area of the market imaginable to combine only the best ideas and get you started. This work is a compilation of many efforts, and holds true investing power in forecasting what the money makers will be for 2009.

Why The Heck Would I Want to Be In Stocks Now?

Now is the wrong time to be jumping ship, it is the right time to be getting back into stocks. Ask any professional, and they will tell you that investor mindset is always wrong: we want to invest more at the peaks, and abandon ship at the troughs. Human emotion plays a big part in this, and the only way to stay ahead and actually make money is to “be greedy when others are fearful” (Warren Buffett).

Are you interested in stocks? Do you invest in your spare time? Are you managing a portfolio of your own? This publication is for you!

I’ve gathered some of the most in-depth analysis together in a professionally-rendered eBook and put it up for an insane bargain-basement reduced cost. If you signed up for a premium stock service, you would get less information for $100s a month (if you are lucky). It’s fantastic that I can offer this to you guys, as stock ideas are always great to go through and learn from.

But you haven’t heard the best part…

… I’m Giving It Away for FREE!

I decided that rather than charge for this exclusive and professional content, I would let you guys have it for free. Sure, I’ve become a financial adviser of sorts over the past few years of operation. While I cannot give you recommendations, what I can do is offer suggestions and ideas to further your wealth. The market is tough right now, so if you don’t understand the stocks you are buying… you are doomed to fail. Regardless, things are cheap right now and investing at the bottom will make money 90% of the time over the long run.

There is no guarantee of positive return with these stock picks and recommendations, however I can almost assure you that all of the carefully selected picks that appear in this publication are well researched and the investment thesis is clear. At the very least, it can be very interesting to see what possibilities lie out there.

How to Gain Access to the EXCLUSIVE Report

I am releasing this information without financial charge, however I would like to reap the rewards of doing so, in various metrics increases.

On February 6th, 2008, I will put out a blog post with the link to download the publication. However, this post will be password protected.

The markets were rough in 2008, that’s a sure thing. But while my financial counterparts and I are all over the newswires on an hourly basis, picking up every finite detail of the catastrophe that comes out, many people do not have that leisure. Because of this, I have created what I feel to be an all-encompassing presentation of the global recession, and all that happened to the markets in 2008… in an easier-to-understand version.

I’ve packed about all I can do into a short 20-minute presentation on the markets in order to bring you almost completely up to par on where we are, and why. It’s important going forward to understand why things are bad, and where the United States (among others) went wrong with our borrowing habits and over-leveraged recklessness. The bottom line is: if you are at all interested in business, or even if you just work in a line of work that handles a lot of transactions, this is going to be a very important presentation.

The Official Jimvesting 2008 Market Presentation

This is a video-presentation on the markets, and you can download it for yourself in Microsoft PowerPoint format here: DOWNLOAD PRESENTATION. The powerpoint presentation attached can serve as a nice refresher course of everything of note that happened in 2008 that specifically and directly impacted where we are today in the markets. There is certainly a lot of confusion, anxiety and uneasiness surrounding the investing world… and I think that the waters are finally starting to clear.

If you are considering investing, I highly recommend you consider equities over the next few months… as I feel that we are at an attractive long-term investing level. However, it is NEVER a good idea to jump into something without understanding how things function, and how things trade. After all, owning a successful stock in 2009 will not be a function of picking a “good company,” but rather, it will be a function of picking up on a favorable trend. Watching this presentation just might be the excuse you were looking for to get caught up, eh?

I hope that you enjoyed this year’s run-down of the entire year of 2008 in just twenty minutes. It’s definitely a crazy environment, so feel free to post any questions you might have down below in the comment area. If you enjoyed the presentation, please subscribe to my blog to show some support for my efforts. Alternatively, I would love for you to share this post around to your friends, so that we can get as many people “in the know” as possible. Here’s to a profitable 2009… stay BULLISH on the net!

Today is November 4th, also known as election day. While I had planned to do a write up on the candidate’s position on various things like taxation, energy and the War in Iraq… I have decided instead to share with you a completely free report that I have recently published as a newsletter giveaway for Bullish Bankers, LLC.

Why Is The Election So Important?!
This particular U.S. presidential election comes in the face of a global recession and a lot of problems at home. Many attribute this to the current presidency, but I say that it was, in fact, simple American Greed that got in the way of logic. Our federal programs like the Federal Reserve and the SEC had set up the market in such a way that people were buying. hand-over-fist, second-rate investments like home mortgages and grouped-debt we call “collateralized debt obligations” or CDOs.

This election is going to change the face of the stock market, there is no doubt about it. Whether this be the health care policy that will effect medical stocks, or the nation’s Defense Department budget that will effect aerospace & defense plays… it’s a big one. Of course, there are upsides to electing Barack Obama and there are upsides to electing John McCain. The choice is yours, but I believe that it is smart to have holdings on your portfolio that are resistant to the election.

Election Proofing Your Portfolio!
This November newsletter publication offered from Bullish Bankers, entitled “Election Proofing Your Portfolio” includes in-depth analysis from our firms’ lead stock analysts from each sector of the market. It’s a seven-page report… but honestly the thing has more content then you would find in a 50 page “ebook” that is put out by internet marketers in size 20 font.

What is most compelling is that you get 9 killer stock picks that are researched by professionals and that are picked to outperform the market in shaky times. These are companies that we have hand-selected that will outlast the election from each sector of the market. Believe me, I spent a LOT of time compiling this one… and it is definitely worth picking up to read.

Here is an excerpt from the newsletter to get you interested:

Healthcare Pick: Becton, Dickinson & CO (BDX)
“…One obstacle they have faced in the past few quarters is the rising price of oil, which increases costs of resin (part of their raw ma­terials for many products); however, BDX has managed the concern and does not feel it will significantly im­pact their margins. This part of their business is known as the Medical segment, and also includes, but not limited to, pre-fillable drug delivery devices, ophthal­mic surgical instruments and ACE brand elastic ban­dages. In total, the Medical segment represents 54.4% of revenue…”

I have full confidence that you will love and enjoy this release, and I feel like Jimvesting would better serve you guys by offering up such a report then by trying to overstep my boundaries and turn this blog into a politics opinion page. Many other bloggers have fallen into this trap, and I feel like I need to go against the grain on this one and avoid that stance… sticking to my style and content so as not to turn anyone off of my stuff if they happen to disagree with my thought on such a touchy subject.

You can get this premium report absolutely FREE when you subscribe to our newsletter through Aweber. Let’s face it, most professional sites make you pay $100s for lower-quality research on their membership-driven sources. We want to get you off on the right foot… and will never charge for anything in our newsletter. You’ll get NO spam, but will be able to receive premium content like this every month you come by.

Sounds like a good deal? Sign Up Below!

I hope you guys in the United States all come out to vote for your favorite candidate. Polls are still open, so it’s not too late! As always, I hope that you enjoy this great report that I have made available through Bullish Bankers. Have a great election day!

Times are tough out there. As the global economy sours, funding is getting harder and harder to come by… and big media conglomerates are starting to feel the pressure just as much as Wall Street. As more and more businesses turn in losses… people are going out of business faster than ever before. And the worst part? You thought you were safe!

Here’s a news flash to those of you that thought, for some reason, that the internet isn’t tied to the globalized economy… it is. The problems that the companies based in technology face can be just as gruesome as what your local McDonalds or Best Buy deal with on a day to day basis. One thing that most people trying to make money online don’t realize is that online advertising companies are pretty much dead in the water at this point in time. Let’s talk about why.

Online Advertising Speculators Create a Bubble

People throw fits when someone says there is an economic “bubble” that is about to pop. So what is a bubble? Essentially,  when everyone rushes into the “next big thing,” it creates an over-hyped market where everyone is doubled-down and nobody realizes that things aren’t as good as they seem. An example of this was the technology boom in 2001 or the crude oil craze earlier this year.

An undiscovered bubble has been made in online advertising, an arena where more than 300 online-ad networks have started up over the past few years alone. The Wall Street Journal itself called online ad brokering “one of the most popular, and crowded, niches on the Internet.” Truth be told, there are WAY too many companies servicing ads right now, and they are going to get hammered because there haven’t been that many new opportunities opened up in the same period of time. In fact, it’s not even close!

The Online Collapse Has Already Begun

So yeah, there are obviously way too many competitors in this business for everyone to be the next Google. Everybody know it, yet people continue to jump in as if nothing is wrong and there is plenty of wealth to spread around. Just this month alone, JellyCloud, an ad network that had raised over $11.5 million in venture capital this year, closed its doors.

Well maybe only a few small players are getting hit? Think again. Look at AdBrite, one of the biggest companies on the net with more than $35 million in capital funding raised to date. AdBrite actually cut a whopping 40% of their workforce just to stay profitable. Time Warner said in September that its AOL unit, which has over $1 billion invested, was “experiencing softening in major ad categories.”

Online Ad Networks Anxiously Seek Suitors

Now that everyone (except for you) understands that the industry is in chaos, people have been scrambling about looking for someone to potentially buy them. People want to jump ship… and that is never a good sign. I mean come on, I support around 6-7 internet marketing networks on this blog alone and more contact me every day! “Ad networks like Burst Media, the 17th-largest by unique visitors, and Collective Media, the 16th largest, say they are both seeking buyers” according to Emily Steel of the Wall Street Journal. What to make of this? Companies would prefer to be bought out then to continue their operations in vain.

No More Funding… Get Ready for the Long Haul

In good economic times, people are more than willing to open up their wallets for advertising and whatnot. Marketing companies are feeling constrained now because nobody is spending, and nobody is funding. It used to be a case of simply asking for money… and you’d have instant venture capital. Now, not so much… and there is a big panic all around an industry where companies made big bets, assuming that things would be recession proof all the way. In reality, lots of ad deals that were in the pipeline are being reduced or pulled completely.

This morning (October 30th), BMO Capital’s Leland Westefield gave us a fresh look at how the online ad industry have really fared through hard times. Westefield noted that for the ad business, this will be “an unparalleled recession in severity and duration in the post-World War II era.” As consumer and commercial spending continues to fall into the red… it’s going to be rough sailing for ad companies that were enjoying consistent growth in the post-tech bubble era.

So What Can You Do? Looking Forward.

Is this all doom and gloom? No, not really. The ad industry is still growing at a solid double-digit tick in many areas of the market. However, you need to realize that a lot of these ad companies are having a hard time staying afloat. Many of you remember how CPA Empire was accused of shaving profits from one of their customers… I honestly believe it completely, because times are tough and people will try to stay profitable.

Barron’s predicts that it won’t be until 2010 that we see ad agencies return to “business as usual.” I totally agree with this assessment, and feel that it won’t be until one year from now when you’ll start to see things rebounding and coming on strong. I believe that we have a long way to go, and the industry is about to consolidate as smaller companies are gobbled up or bankrupted by a vicious investing environment.

As an internet marketer… don’t worry too much. Keep your head on straight, and your profits won’t drop off too much, despite the flailing industry you work under. There will always be affiliate business to be exploited for cash… so stay in the game and hope for a better tomorrow. One thing: maybe you should start buying some sympathy cards for the marketers that are about to dance with unemployment.
