Louis Basenese’s “Upstream Strategy” shows you how to get rich doing the opposite of the so-called “smart money”…

Dear Reader,

Louis Basenese has a Rolodex that would blow your mind.

It’s full of big Wall Street names – many you’d recognize.

They’re the result of spending years as a lead analyst inside one of the world’s most powerful financial houses… one with more than $770 billion in assets.

And these days he’s found the perfect way to use his power contacts to make a fortune.

He’s not pumping them for big inside moves… or where they’re investing next.

Well, he is.  But it’s what he does with that information that’s really shocking his readers… and helping them get rich.

Lou has perfected a strategy that reveals exactly when to move in the opposite direction from the so-called “smart money”… for outrageous, and consistent gains. 

And Lou has broken out of the pack with astounding results. His “Upstream Strategy” is making his beta testers wildly rich already!

Just a few examples…

• During one trading session, the Dow soared 500 points… the bulls were piling in. Lou's recommendation: Sell the Dow… now! Over the next week the bulls got slaughtered as the index tanked more than 895 points. Meanwhile, Lou's readers saw 146% gains.
  
  
• LeapFrog Enterprises had just received a $30 million cash infusion from a private equity firm. Shares were sure to rise, right? Wrong. Lou saw the writing on the wall, took a short position and bagged another 180% winner… (the day after he closed out his big play on the Dow).
  
  
• Then five days later, he saw 81% on another "anti-Street" play...
  
  
• Just days after that, he booked 160%...
  
  
• During one four-month span, with the markets in turmoil, Lou's strategy yielded 2,034%.

Over the next few minutes, you’ll see exactly how this strategy works.  And how you can leverage Lou’s inside connections in this most unusual way.  In fact, if you move on this information right away, you’re guaranteed to score at least three triple-digit winners in the first 90 days alone.

So let’s get right to it…

Lou's "Upstream Strategy" is
Like Money in the Bank

But this is only the first step.

Lou subscribes to numerous high-end research services meant only for serious analysts – each costing tens of thousands of dollars. And he pays close attention as news of the opportunity trickles from here into the pages of the Wall Street Journal. Then he knows it's time to really put out his feelers...

He talks to friends... family... neighbors. And once the general consensus has seeped down this far, he realizes it's time to pull the trigger.

So what does he do? He finds the most potentially profitable way to swim against the current. That's why he calls it his "upstream strategy."

Let me show you a prime example…

Turning the Oil Bust into a Boom

In June of 2008, the crude oil market had reached fever pitch.

Oilman T. Boone Pickens said he wouldn't be surprised if it reached $200 by the end of the year.

"We think it will reach $250/bbl in the foreseeable future," Chief Executive of Russia's Gazprom, Alexei Miller, predicted.

But not Lou…

On June 17 – when oil was trading near its all-time high – he sent out this alert to a small group of beta testers…

Some of his readers were flabbergasted. Edwin G. e-mailed to say, "If anyone thinks oil is done, I have some swampland in Florida to sell 'em."

Fast forward a few months…

Oil tanked 63%. And after he issued this recommendation, ProShares Ultra Short Oil & Gas shot up more than double that amount – a whopping 141%!

Perhaps Edwin did get in on this opportunity. But I doubt it.

The question is: Are you an Edwin? If so, you can stop reading now.

Because if you think shorting oil in the middle of a historic bull market is a bad idea, you're simply not the kind of person who could fully benefit from Lou's newly perfected research service.

It's called The Contrarian Strategist.

And it could hand you at least three triple-digit winners in the next 90 days…

How could we make such a bold promise?

It's really not as bold as you may think when you consider the track record…

Why This Will Appeal to Less than 1% of Our Members

Just look at what Lou showed me when he first started testing his strategy. He presented example after example of how he was constantly betting against the crowd to score huge gains…

"Upstream" Pick #1 – MEMC Electronics supplies silicone wafers to solar panel manufacturers… a true commodity back when oil staged its rally. Shares were soaring and poised to jump even higher in the coming months. At least that was the general consensus among his Wall Street sources.  But what did Lou do? He shorted the stock well before oil hit its peak and uncovered a fast 28% . But he was just getting warmed up.

"Upstream" Pick #2 – On January 12, 2009, USA Today announced, "Economic downturn pounds commercial real estate." But they were late to the party. Months before, Lou had recommended shorting LoopNet, Inc. – the Realtor.com of commercial real estate. Here's what happened to the stock:

"Upstream" Pick #3 – And then Lou set his sights on Gamestop. To be perfectly honest, if he'd run this idea past me ahead of time, I would have had serious reservations. There's no way it should have worked. But it did. More specifically, it resulted in a 73% gain in five days.

Frankly, I was amazed. I took the results straight to our Investment Director Alexander Green. He looked at the numbers and confirmed that indeed Lou's moneymaking plan really worked.

That's when we decided to open it to a small group of gutsy "beta testers". And they must be glad they joined…

Lou recently led them to rapid-fire gains of 282% on Coinstar in six weeks… 47% on Georgia Gulf Corp. in ONE DAY… 146% on Dow Diamonds in a week… 180% on LeapFrog Enterprises in a week… and more.

You see, although even MarketWatch agrees that this approach to making money "requires a strong stomach…"

… as the Financial Times points out, this is a "fairly simple way to beat the market."

Not just beat the market, but slaughter it.

So even though his ideas sometimes generate resistance…

Like when Alan H. said, "Good luck losing your shirt. I hope nobody is taking you anything close to seriously." (He could have turned $1,000 into $3,500 if he'd followed Lou's recommendation.)

Or when Doug F. wrote, "Lou, you're out of your mind." (He, too, could have almost tripled his money.)

… you can see why Lou is more than willing to make the trade-off. And why we've decided to offer this strategy to our loyal members.

Even still, this opportunity will only appeal to a select few of you... perhaps as few as 1% of our members.

But before you decide if you want to join this small but elite group, you may want to know exactly how it works…

A Systematic Approach that
Can Really Make You Rich

Of course, nothing is ever as easy as it seems. Lou doesn't simply find a popular trend and then swim against the current. He'd never take a chance with his own money like that. And he certainly wouldn't expect you to.

A ton of analysis goes into each pick. He tears apart the fundamentals… spends hours reading charts… makes calls to strategically placed sources.

It isn't enough to know where a trend is headed. You have to know precisely how to play it.

So he has taken what he learned from his days on Wall Street, combined it with his first-hand knowledge of stocks and adjusted it to fit the new market dynamic to come up with his market-beating contrarian strategy.

He looks for overzealous trends… undervalued stocks… anywhere that prices are at an extreme and due for a correction. Once his calculations confirm that an opportunity has reached its inflection point, he swoops in for the kill.

Sometimes that means shorting a stock… other times investing in an ETF… at times an option is the best way to capture huge profits.

But the most important thing to remember is that this strategy works…

Just ask Maria O. who tells Lou, "You have hit so many of your contrarian calls..."

Or Dave T. who emailed, "Okay Lou, you deserve credit on this one. Thanks for the sticking your neck out and making some contrarian calls."

And Hank S. says, "Lou, I did follow your recommendation… and am up today as you indicated."

Now here's your opportunity to get in on the action…

Warning! This Is Not for the Faint of Heart

Since Lou has perfected this strategy for making money, he'd like to open it up to any Oxford Club member with enough guts to follow in his footsteps.

For those of you out there prepared to take the leap, this could mean your biggest payday yet.

As you've seen, a small group of people have already had access to this research with amazing results.

On October 16, 2009, his readers saw a fast 53% gain in First Trust Revere Natural Gas ETF… despite the fact that the Wall Street Journal just reported, "When it comes to natural gas, bears are coming fast and furious."

That same day, they closed out yet another 78% on Enterprise Products Partners, LP after holding the position for only three weeks!

And at this very moment they are sitting on two triple-digit and two double-digit winners… with plenty more in the pipeline.

In fact, Lou is seeing some extreme imbalances in the market right now that are days from correcting.

When that happens, he expects this strategy to crank out three triple-digit winners. And it will, according to Lou's strategy, happen within the next 90 days.

By agreeing to try his research now, you'll have the opportunity to get in on all three plays.

And that's just for starters.

Thanks to his "Upstream Strategy," you could continue seeing gains no matter what direction the S&P is headed.

That's because it identifies when the crowd has overextended itself… when an asset has become oversold or overbought. And therefore, it's ready for a huge move – either up or down.

Here's what I mean…

116% Gains Investing in Art
during the Great Recession?

The world's wealthiest have been hit especially hard by the recession…

In the past six months, the Mei Moses Index, an index that tracks the price of art, has dropped 32%.

And yet, in the midst of all of this sobering data, Lou issued a Buy" recommendation for Sotheby's – one of the world's biggest and oldest art auction houses.

To the average person, it wouldn't make any sense. But look at what happened:

On September 3, 2009, his subscribers had the opportunity to close out a 116% winner.

And then that very day, he recommended a play on a retailer of all things! It didn't matter that retail sales were moving at a snail's pace… or that The Wall Street Journal declared, "Pessimism Grips Retail." Not to Lou, anyway.

While all of his contacts on Wall Street fled the sector, he saw it as a prime opportunity to scoop up shares of an overlooked gem – hhgregg, Inc. And one month later, on October 6, 2009, he closed out a 61% gain.

On these two back-to-back plays alone, you could have turned $5,000 into $17,388. Not bad, is it?

But there's no luck involved. Each pick is based on a practically foolproof strategy that has been proven to work time and again.

Like the time Lou made his infamous play on the dollar…

How Lou Made an "Upstream" 147%

The rest is history.

Within only two weeks, the dollar staged its best rally in over a decade, hitting its highest level in years…

In a few short months, he and his subscribers closed out a 147% gain in Currency Shares Euro Trust. That's enough to turn $5,000 into $12,350.

And he's uncovering these kinds of opportunities with amazing precision. Lou is constantly scouring the market in search of extremes… wherever he can find them.

Sometimes he drills it down to a single stock…

…Like the time he recommended shorting the New York Times while everyone else was touting it as a takeover target. Even his own mentor was about to recommend a long position until Lou advised him not to. Instead, Lou issued an alert to short the stock… resulting in a nice 127% gain in only six weeks.

Sometimes that means looking at the bigger picture…

… Like when he predicted on December 16 that treasuries were due for a MAJOR correction. He called that one within two weeks of the peak! Take a look…

Of course, any analyst can make at least a few good predictions in the course of his career. But before you go thinking that I'm cherry picking a few good examples, let's take a closer look at what Lou did the same time last year…

And why history is about to repeat itself.

1,739% Gains While the
Markets Tanked… Big Time

And just consider what Lou did last fall…

His cumulative gains for September 1, 2008 through January 1, 2009 totaled 1,739%. That includes losses. (CLICK HERE for his entire track record during that period.)

Even more impressive, he did all of this during the worst bear market since the 1930s.

While the Dow tumbled 2,740 points, Lou closed out 16 double-digit and 9 triple-digit winners for an average gain of 51%!

How could that be? As David Dreman, one of the leading contrarian investors of all time said, "Crisis provides enormous opportunity." And while there are signs that things may be looking up, I think we can all agree that this crisis is far from over.

That's why this time around, the gains could be even bigger. Lou 's already on his way with gains like 116%, 61%, 71%, 83% and more, just since September 1. And there's still time for you to get in on the action.

In the very least, you could have three opportunities to double your money – or better – in the next 90 days.

But before you decide, there are a few things you may be wondering…

Answering the Million-Dollar Questions

Is The Contrarian Strategist really for me?

Only you can answer that question. But I can tell you this much… if you're only interested in a "buy-and-hold" philosophy, you may want to look elsewhere. Lou tends to focus on opportunities that offer unusually fast gains in a matter of weeks, or even days.

So if you've never shorted a stock or bought an option, and if you aren't even open to the possibility, then The Contrarian Strategist probably isn't for you.

But I'm just a beginner. Can I still do this?

If you decide that you do want to give it a try, don't worry. We make sure you'll know exactly what to do. You'll receive simple, straightforward, step-by-step recommendations that can be repeated verbatim to a broker or traded online in about 10 minutes.

We won't put you out on your own… or leave you behind. Lou does all the work. You can collect all the profits. Sounds easy enough, right?

Does this strategy require that I short stocks… Isn't that complicated and risky?

At times, short plays fit perfectly into Lou's strategy. So he does recommend them (although not exclusively). But it's no more difficult to short a stock than it is to buy one. And it could be the fastest path to gains. Especially when you consider that stocks fall three times faster than they rise!

Plus every recommendation will include a stop loss order to protect your profits ... and your principal.

(Just like you use trailing stops on stocks you buy, you can use a similar stop loss strategy on stocks you sell short. And it completely limits your risk.)

Does Lou win every play?

Of course not. While Lou goes through long periods of winner after winner, no strategy can guarantee 100% success over the long term.

Does Lou sometimes hit them out of the park? Sure. And quite regularly. But that's not the point of this service. So I certainly hope you aren't looking to get in, get one good stock pick and get out.

But if you're willing to stick with the program and follow his instructions, you'll find that his winners outweigh his losses by a wide margin. Lou makes each recommendation with a specific game plan in mind. To make it work, you simply need to trust his already-proven strategy.

So what's it going to cost me to join?

There is no other service in the world that uses Lou's "Upstream Strategy"… quite possibly the most effective contrarian indicator in the world.

Then let me ask… what would you pay to access research that could yield triple-digit gains again and again… to finally break free from the investing herd and change your retirement plans for the better?

I think you'll be truly surprised at the bargain I've arranged with Lou for early-in subscribers.

But first, consider everything you'll receive…

Everything You Need, Right At Your Fingertips!

To recap:

• Regular e-mail alerts directly from Lou. In each alert, he'll give precise instructions on what to do. There's no guesswork involved. If you choose to play along, simply read the instructions to your broker and watch the gains come pouring in.
  
  
• Your own personal password. With this proprietary information, you can access The Contrarian Strategist on the website. Here you'll find past recommendations, track record information, as well as the most recent model portfolio.
  
  
• Access to Lou's "Upstream Strategy." Be prepared, when you're starting out with this, your spouse may think your nuts… your neighbors may laugh behind your back. But once the returns start rolling in – 145%, 189%, 223% – you'll be the one laughing… all the way to the bank.
  
  
• Lou's Top 10 DO NOT BUY List. You've already witnessed Lou's uncanny ability for picking winners. But his Contrarian metrics can also reveal the biggest duds. For example…

  On January 29, Lou advised everyone to dump GE stock. Five weeks later, shares dropped 47%.

  And last September 2008, he warned that LeapFrog Enterprises was headed for disaster. By the beginning of March, its stock was down a whopping 88%!

  Now he has just completed his Top 10 DO NOT BUY List. Most investors will get swept up in the excitement of these "can't lose" investments… and lose their shirts. But with this quick reference, you'll know which stocks and sectors to avoid for the next six months. It could save your retirement.

And you can have all of this for the low price of $995. I hope that sounds reasonable. Because we fully expect you to have the opportunity to make back at least that amount on the first play alone. Consider…

If you'd invested only $400 on Lou's recent Coinstar play, you'd already have made your money back… and then some ($1,128 in pure profits!).

Talk about a no-brainer.

But in case you're still on the fence, right now we'll do even better than that…

The Lowest Price Ever to
Access Lou's VIP Research

That's why the average person has missed out on some of the best contrarian gains the market has to offer – 102% on Buffalo Wild Wings in nine weeks… 266% on Currency Shares Euro Trust in seven weeks… 96% on Cal Maine Foods in six weeks… 140% on Frontline in three weeks… and so on. (All taken straight from the actual track record.)

But since you're willing to join Lou in his "against-the-crowd" stand, I'd like to reward you.

For a limited time, we're offering you a full year subscription for only $595 – a discount of 40%.

As you may realize, we've never priced an Oxford Club research service this low before. Every other VIP advisory service costs anywhere from $995 - $4,995. So this is by far the best offer you'll ever see from us.

What's more, if you decide to continue your subscription beyond the first year, you'll never pay more than the $595 – even if we have a price increase. You'll lock in this low price forever.

And if that isn't enough, remember…

We GUARANTEE At Least Three
Doubles in the Next 90 Days!

Although I highly doubt it will come to that.

Lou is confident, given the current market conditions, he'll do even better. Perhaps much better. He's certainly done it before. During this same time last year, you could have scored nine triple-digit winners.

But don't forget…

Hurry, Before this "Trial Pricing" Ends for Good

We've never offered any of our VIP research at such a low price before so I strongly recommend you take us up on this deal.

Truth is, we're only testing out this low price. There's a very good chance that the next time you hear about The Contrarian Strategist, the cost will have more than doubled.

So you must hurry. Lou has informed me that the three big contrarian plays on his radar could trigger at any moment. That's why we're so eager for you to try this now. Simply click the link below, or if you prefer, you can call us toll-free at 888.570.9830 or 1.410.454.0498 and mention Priority Code: .

You won't want to miss it.

Sincerely,

Julia Guth
Executive Director
The Oxford Club

P.S. Don't forget, we guarantee you'll see at least three triple-digit winners in the next 90 days… or your money back. It doesn't get much more low risk than that.
