New York, American, Nasdaq National Markets

The following is an example of the information you can find in Money and Investing section of Wall
Street Journal.

• Columns 1&2 52-Week Hi-Lo Range: The first two columns show the highest
and lowest prices for the stock during the preceding 52-week period, not
including the latest trading day.
• Column 3 Company Name and Type of Stock: If there are no special symbols
or letters following the company name, it is common stock (shares without a
fixed rate of return of investment.) However, among the symbols that may
commonly appear next to a company are:
o "pf" - Indicates the listing is preferred stock (shares that generally have a
fixed rate of return.) These shares of stock receive preference over
common stock in the distribution of dividends.
o "wt" - A warrant gives the holder the right to buy securities at stipulated
prices, usually within a specified time limit. Popular new listings are for
warrants based on advances or declines in indexes of foreign markets,
such as Japan's.
o "rt" - Indicates that stockholders have been given the opportunity (or
 "right") to buy new securities in proportion to the number os hares they
already own, within a given time period. Since the stock offered is
usually below the market value, rights have their own market and can be
traded.
o "un" - Refers to unit shares of stock, a combination of different
securities that are sold together as a package.
o "wi" "When Issued" - Indicates a conditional transaction in a security
authorized for issuance but not actually issued. All "when issued"
transactions are on an "if" basis, to be settled if and when the actual
security is issued.
o Other symbols that can appear in this column, and in the area to the left
of the 52-week hi-lo range, are defined daily in the Footnotes box in the
Wall Street Journal.
• Column 4 Ticker symbol: This alphabetic symbol uniquely identifies the stock
on the exchange's "ticker" as well as many other electronic information system
and computer databases.
• Column 5 Dividend Payment: This indicates the annual dividend payment per
share designated by the company for stockholders. On preferred shares, it is
generally a fixed amount. On common shares, it varies with the business
condition of the company an is evaluated regularly by a firm's directors. When
a letter follows the dividend figure, refer to the Explanatory Notes on Page C3
or C4 of the Money & Investing section of the Wall Street Journal.
• Column 6 Percent Yield: This figure represents the dividend return an investor
can expect on each share of stock. It is calculated by dividing the annual
dividend each share pays by its current market value, and is expressed as a
percentage.
• Column 7 Price-Earnings Ratio (PE): This calculation is one way of
evaluating a stock's relative performance and value. It is computed by dividing
the stock's price by the company's per-share earnings for the most recent four
quarters. Higher Price-Earnings multiples suggest the investors are more
optimistic about a stock's prospects than comparable lower-PE stocks, but the
reason for high and low PEs also include the company's growth outlook, the
industry the company is engaged in, company accounting policies, and whether
the firm is a startup or a more established business.
• Column 8 Trading Volume: This figure shows a total number of shares traded
for the day, listed in hundreds. Thus "363" would mean 36,300 shares (When a
"z" precedes the volume number, the figure represents the actual number of
shares traded. For example, "z20" means 20 shares, not 2,000.) Stocks with
large volume surges compared with their usual activity are underlined.
• Column 9 Hi/Lo: This indicates the trading price range of the security during
the day's trading. If one of these represents a new 52-week high or low for the
stock, a small up or down arrow appears to the far left of the stock's listing. The
new record will be reflected in the stock's 52-week hi-lo range on the following
day.

• Column 10 Close and Net Change: The Close is the trading price recorded
 when the market closed on this day. If the closing prices is up or down more
than 5% from the precious day's close, the entire listing for the stock is bold-
faced. Net change indicates the difference between the closing price and the
previous close.

NASDAQ Small-Cap Issues

The following is an example of the information you can find in the Wall Street Journal in the Money and
Investing section.

• Column 1 Company Name and Dividend: Cash payouts are shown on an

annualized basis when possible, the same as the NYSE format. Exceptions are
covered by footnotes.
• Column 2 Volume: This figure shows the total number of shares traded for the
day. Sales are shown in hundreds - "25" in the volume column means 2,400
shares traded. The "z" footnote before a number means that this is the actual
number of shares; "z25" means just 25 shares changed hands, not 2,500.
• Column 3 Last: The final price for the day.

• Column 4 Change: The difference between the closing price and the previous
closing price.

Will Not Work for You. We Don't Teach to GAMBLE. We are Not into Investment

(See Reference below How a College Dropout became a Mega-Millionaire through

Philippine Stock Market)

This has been more than 4 YEARS in the making!

First, I want you to know that this program was NOT just conceived in the last few weeks and packaged
as a product to sell.

This course is the result and culmination of 4 years of thinking, planning, learning the steps that you will
learn.
The reason why I decided to teach you my methods is revealed in this letter. I'm not going to hide
anything.

I want to be very clear from the outset...

Unlike many people who teach stocks, I am NOT a former

market maker or specialist or a licensed professional in the
financial industry. I am a business person and investor just
like you. The difference is that I found a way to be
successful and profitable in investing in stocks as a REAL
business from my home office.

The business methods I use are also used by

professional investors and market professionals who
rarely, if ever, talk about their strategies.

Common reasons I hear to people why they don't want to

I will tell you that there are three reasons why I want to teach you this business...

1) There's no reason not to teach you what I know.

Seriously. I have nothing to lose. The markets are huge and anyone can trade them without decreasing
the opportunity. In fact it would only make things better. The more traders, the more money we can make
and the more liquid the market becomes.

It's really a win-win-win.

Unlike other businesses - You don't need to watch the stock market daily and start making your money
work for you!

2) I am a business person but I am also a teacher.

I have been teaching people how to invest in stock market and how to use the internet for their business.

There are not many people who really understand this business and are willing to teach it to others.

3) Frankly, a little extra money from selling this course means more I can
put to good use in my stock market business.
Obviously I put my money where I get the largest return for the amount invested. Most of the money I
make from selling this course goes directly into my stock market portfolio business.

I don't know what your abilities are or how fast you can learn this business as I teach it, so I will never tell
you how much you could make but 5% (or much more) is a very reachable goal. Returns can be as high
as 62.5% or 100% more
But let me explain why this mentorship session is different from anything you may have seen
before...

Most people think the Stock market is too risky

and their approach is pure speculation, or worse...
GAMBLING!
I will tell you right now... my investing system is NOT gambling! Most people stock market is gambling
because they don’t know what they are doing and they think that complicated technical analysis would
save them. Most people lose in stock market or in any business because they don’t know what they are
doing. They buy stocks today and hoping the price would go up in a week time and sell it to someone else
for a higher price (greater fool).

Bottom line:

I treat stock market as a real business. I put my money into great companies that will give me the
highest ROI or Return on my Investment.

The truth is, and this is exactly how I see myself: I am an entrepreneur. As an entrepreneur I seek
opportunities in the market as well as engage in buying and selling activities (not that often and i don't sell
at all) to generate the highest return on my investment and then simply manage my risk.

My profit is coming from Annual, Semi-Annual or Quarterly Dividends and Capital gains (when the stock
price goes up I earn some capital gains)...

All businesses buy and sell to make money - I just do it with stocks. I'm making more money and
making my money work more hard for me when i don't sell my stocks. e.g. Dividends is paying
me around 4-10% yearly and the value of my stock is going up.

All good businesses manage based on numbers and ratios and other fundamental factors - I do the
same thing - I manage by the numbers!

All businesses plan for profits and create opportunities for the largest return on investment (ROI) possible
– I do that too by investing to few great companies.

I know exactly what my maximum profits are going to be before I buy a stock. I don't guess or speculate
- I have a plan. Then I simply manage the position and, if necessary, adjust my positions to remain
profitable or cut my losses through smart risk management techniques and collect my profits when i sell.

This is an "evergreen" business. Even as the

markets shift, and the economy changes (bad, good
or during crisis – remember it is the best time to get rich or earn more
during economic crisis) my system will always work!

This business will never change... the principles, once you learn them, are yours forever. You could learn
these and hand them down to your children and grandchildren. You could use the system in all Stock
Market all over the world! - This system is not a secret many great investors are using this system
however, VERY FEW people use the system.
The basics of this business will never change because the underlying the principles will never change.

That's why I call it an 'evergreen' business.

Unlike franchises or other types of consumer or business-to-business markets, the stock markets have
been around for hundreds of years. And even though the markets move and change in some ways, the
principles has been the same for the past 200+ years.

Have you lost your CONFIDENCE?

If you've lost money in the market it can destroy your confidence. My system will allow you to buy
stocks with 100% confidence again because instead of hoping to make a profit by guessing what to do,
you'll have a plan.

Remember what I said at the top of this letter... this is not about hype. I will NEVER guarantee you will
make money with this business because I can't tell how you'll use the information that I'm going share
with you. Your success in your investment business depends on only one thing: The decisions YOU
make. Critical decisions such as if you are willing to invest time, money and patience in learning and
taking action to jump-in and start the business.

The only way for you to make the right decisions is by having superior knowledge. Once you understand
how to REALLY make money and how the business system works, you will buy investments with total
confidence. That's what I can do for you and I do not say it lightly, it's true.

Also, I cannot give you official investment advice because I am not an investment adviser registered with
the SEC and I am not a CFP (certified financial planner),

I can show you exactly what I do, and how I do it. I'll teach you virtually everything I know about this
business; but the actual decisions you make with your money is up to only one person: You.

I can tell you with a high degree of certainty though –

There is no one who will tell you what I will share with you. No one.

You could pay 8,000 or more to attend stock market, real estate
investing or other investing seminars, and you still won't learn what I'm
going to teach you!

To give you an example: I attended to a real estate investing seminar for 1,500 pesos and
honestly I almost learn NOTHING. ZERO. NADA. What they teach is just theories, brag how
they started with little money on their pocket, how much money they are making in their
investments today but they will never teach you HOW THEY DO IT or if you want them to
teach you how they do it you need to pay Thousands and Thousands of Money Sounds Familiar?

How about the more expensive theoretical seminars offering 4,000, 8,000, 10,000 or 300,000
pesos seminar or boot camps? – I bet a lot of people are disappointed and a lot of people were
motivated to start however, in the end most people are disappointed because they still don’t
know where and how to start.
Another example is a FREE training. Some companies are providing FREE investment trainings.
In the end the attendees are disappointed because the company who provided the training Is just
advertising their investment products, wanted you to invest your hard earned money to them or
some stock market brokerage companies will encourage you to use their service (stock market
agents) in buying stocks and they will provide you the whole information what stocks to buy. In
the end, most people lose money simply because they follow the advice of the day traders and
they let other people decide what investment decision to take. They forgot one important wealth
principle which is “Control”.

What I'm going to teach you will blow away anything that I learned in any of these seminars. I'm
not kidding. In fact, I'd say, in truth, they were almost a waste of my money.

I say 'almost' because they did help a little but they lacked practical application of the knowledge they
presented - it was mostly theory that left the attendee no better off, in practical terms, than they were
when they started.

This program is the real deal...

It really works and very few people (even professionals) teach anyone how to do this.

But there are a few guys who really know this stuff inside and out. I found them and picked their brain
over and over until I figured it out and came up with a system based on what they told me.

I put together what I learned, and came up with a complete step by step process that anyone can
follow how to start in stock market investing.

I'll just say that I think it will surprise you how profitable and easy it is to run - and just 15 minutes a day is
all you need or most of the time you don’t have to watch it. Your Money is working Hard for You!

On the other hand, if you want to make this a full-time business - you can! There are plenty of
opportunities to make even more money if you have more time to devote to this business.

So let's see if you're the right kind of person to take this course:

• Have you been in the market as an investor or trader and been

disappointed with the results?

• Do you stay away from the markets because you think they are too
risky?

• Are you confused in how to read stock market quotes? Or Would you like
to Learn STEP by STEP how to buy/sell stocks?

• Would you like to stop GUESSING which direction the markets are
going? Truth is: Nobody could predict where the market is going.

• Does the idea of managing your business 'by the numbers' make sense
 to you?

• Would you like to build your RETIREMENT investment?

• Are you willing to invest time and money in your financial education
and investment education? So that once you learn the process you
don’t have to worry about the ups and downs of the market.

If you answered 'YES' to any ONE or more of the questions above, I think you would be a good
candidate for this training.

Here's what you'll be getting in the course...

Aside from Learning how to start the business step by step in Stock
Market and how to use the investing system you'll get the following
Explosive Bonuses:
