More Than Just Stock Tips

The comprehensive research reports featured in Stocks 2005 have been thoroughly vetted by a committee led by editor Bill Mann. The 12 picks that survived the crucible represent nearly as many industries — some you've heard off, others you surely haven't.

Here's a small sample of the potential market-beaters highlighted in Stocks 2005...

• A high-tech marvel... uses a familiar material in ways you'd never imagine on its way to becoming the gold standard in industries from automobiles to defense. Among its charms: Ramping earnings, ample free cash flow, and a strong balance sheet. Its products even save lives.
• A small wonder... this drug developer's latest compound was granted the coveted and lucrative "orphan drug" status to combat a rare and deadly genetic disease. A second drug goes before the FDA in the fourth quarter and should hit the market toward year-end 2005.
• A tested leader... you don't know the name but you are a customer. Most everybody is. There is nothing high-tech about this industry leader — just solid management, a stable business, and moat to drown competitors. Plus, a great value.

Make 2005 Your Year

Can you expect to pay for Stocks 2005 with the profits from just those three picks? It's not entirely out of the question. You certainly could cover the cost of Stocks 2005 with the profits from the picks highlighted in Stocks 2004.

Consider, if you'd put $1,000 in each of the stocks profiled in Stocks 2004 on December 1, 2003, you'd be sitting on $14,665 one year later. That's compared to $12,401 if you'd bought the S&P 500.

Or how about a more modest $100 in each? Your $1,100 investment would be worth $1,434 today. That covers the cost of admission three times over ... plus a celebratory bottle of bubbly to boot.

Make 2005 the year you beat the market.
