The 2 reasons why today is a great day to be a Canadian investor

 

The Toronto Stock Exchange is up a sleepy 1.3% this year. But you could be doing much more with your money. And you could be paying a lot less of it to Bay Street “gurus” in Armani suits.

Get started by investing in these 2 incredible stocks TODAY. Here’s how…


Dear Investor,

Canadians should feel proud. Because we’ve given the world a lot of great things…

Like hockey. The electron microscope. The chocolate bar. Plexiglass. Canola oil. The odometer. The light bulb.

(And, yes, Céline Dion.)

But when the world has something great to offer Canada, we never let our pride stand in the way.

We’re just too practical for that!

And that’s why I’m so excited about what happened in Toronto this morning.

You see, I just attended an “international expo” of sorts.

It was a lot smaller than Expo ’67. But in the long run, its impact may prove to be equally significant.

Because in the long run, what happened at this event today could very well change the lives of millions of Canadians.

For the better.

And it could change YOUR life much sooner. (In about 20 minutes.)

Why can I say that so confidently? Because I’ve seen it happen before. Three times, actually.

Here’s the story, in case you missed it in the news this morning…

A few weeks ago, a good friend of mine invited a select group of investors to join him at the University of Toronto to talk about his 2 favorite stocks right now.

And why it was time for Canada to “import” something that could make them even MORE valuable.

The response was completely overwhelming. In fact, every seat at this investors-only event was filled in less than an hour!

A lot of people would have taken that as a great success. But not this fellow.

No, he was actually angry.

Because he felt so passionately about the jaw-dropping announcement he was about to make, that it frustrated him to realize only one small roomful of people would hear it.

So — like he’s done time after time in his distinguished career in finance – he found a better way.

He invited thousands more to join us from all over Canada through a “virtual video chat.”

They didn’t get smoked trout like the attendees in Toronto did…

But they had a front row seat for everything else… including the surprise visit we received from a very famous (and very Foolish) guest star. Who I’ll introduce you to in a minute.

Now, the discussion at this investing expo went into quite a bit of detail about the many cross-currents in the global financial world, and what they mean for Canadian investors like you and me.

But I’m in a hurry to compose my thoughts.

So I’m sure you’ll forgive me if I just give you a brief summary of what was just said, instead of a full point-by-point transcript.

In a nutshell, this is what my friend Iain Butler had to say this morning…

ONE:

Today is a great day to be a Canadian investor because we can finally stop overpaying for financial advice

TWO:

Today is a great day to be a Canadian investor because we can finally start using a better process to pick great stocks… like these 2 (described below)

I imagine you’re nodding your head about that first point in particular.

Because it’s a problem we’ve all lived with for years.

You are paying far too much for investment advice

A few months ago, MoneySense magazine put together a list of “fee-based” Canadian financial planners.

The purpose was to give investors like us a better alternative to the “commission-based” planners who make up most of this (in my view) overcompensated & underperforming multi-billion dollar industry

You see, a commission-based planner gets PAID to peddle you mutual funds… by the mutual fund companies themselves. That means he’s a salesman, pure and simple.

And don’t forget that those funds have management fees themselves. Often 2% or more.

Meanwhile, a fee-based planner operates on a more honest basis. You’re just paying him for his time and his wisdom.

But here’s the problem with that “better” alternative. His time costs TOO MUCH.

One of the 79 financial advisors on the MoneySense list (located in Calgary) charges $125 an hour… just to talk to his assistant!

It costs three times as much to see the man himself.

Hart House

How we Fooled Bay Street this morning: These investors are tired of paying top dollar for “average” (or worse) financial advice. That’s why they gathered in the Hart House at the University of Toronto to discover Iain Butler’s top 2 stocks to buy right now. Read on to find out for yourself…

But unfortunately, these sky-high fees are no exception. One firm in Victoria charges a $2,500 “annual retainer fee.” Another in Ottawa charges a similar annual fee PLUS 1.5% of the first $500,000 invested.

(They do give a bit of a discount to multi-millionaires. Huzzah.)

And what about that so-called “wisdom” we spoke of?

Well, sad to say, but I’m unable to find any published evidence to suggest that this type of planner can consistently beat the market. Maybe some of them do… but the industry has so little transparency that it’s hard to know for sure.

The other problem is that the wisdom most financial planners actually follow is “conventional wisdom.”

They stampede in a herd to many of the same stocks, the same bonds, and the same mutual funds.

And I suppose that’s fine if you want a decent chance of earning the same average return as the broader financial market.

Oops!

My mistake. What I should have said is: the same return MINUS 1.5%.

(Or $2,500 per year. Or whatever the fee happens to be.)

Now let’s see just how bad that looks, in the illustration below…

If you had invested $5,000 in the Canadian stock market and $5,000 in the American stock market on January 1 each year for the past five years, you’d have $64,163 today.

But if you’d paid a typical $2,500 annual advisory fee, you’d have just $49,744. In other words, you would have actually lost money!

So why pay the fee?

performance

Plus, if you’re like me, even if you’re not handing back a huge part of your gains in the form of commissions and planning fees…

…The “average” return of the stock market still just isn’t good enough!

(Remember, the TSX is up a sleepy 1.3% this year.)

Look, beating the market isn’t about my ego.

I’m not some kind of Red Bull chugging adrenaline junkie who refreshes the ticker pages every 3 seconds.

But I am a father.

So there’s nothing I care more about than giving my son and daughter the best opportunity to succeed in life. And securing my own comfortable retirement so they never worry about having to support me.

That’s why growing AS MUCH WEALTH as I possibly can, in the BEST WAY that I possibly can, and PAYING THE LEAST in fees that I possibly can, is a big deal to me.

And here’s something else that’s a big deal too.

Not all stocks are created equal.

At the planner’s office, they’re just numbers on a graph or a spreadsheet. But a share of stock is really a share of ownership in a real, live business.

I want that to be a business I believe in owning for the long-term, and most importantly one that I understand.

And I understand enough about these stocks to realize why Iain Butler is calling them:

The 2 stocks every Canadian investor should own right now — “Wall Street’s most lucrative blind spot”

Ready to find out more?

Then I won’t keep you waiting…

The FIRST stock Iain revealed at the expo this morning is as “high-tech” as they come.

In fact, when Iain first mentioned it to me earlier this week, it sounded like something out of a James Bond movie. You see, this company makes lasers!

Not the kind of lasers that power your DVD player, mind you. But an entirely new type of laser that’s not only smaller, more accurate, and more powerful than a standard laser, but also longer-lasting, more energy efficient, and cheaper to operate.

And if you’re picturing some mad scientist operating out of a garage laboratory, think again…

Industry heavyweights like General Electric, Boeing, Volkswagen, and Pratt & Whitney trust their multi-billion dollar businesses to this rock solid company… they’re loading up on its lasers like honey dip Timbits.

Look, I know most of you aren’t engineers.

But you don’t need to know how much energy is packed into 500 kilowatts to understand this company. And you don’t need to know what on earth “ytterbium fiber” is, or how they make lasers out of it.

You just need to understand Iain’s business analysis.

And that analysis is quite simple. Because this company (located outside of Boston) controls not only the 200-plus key patents behind this breakthrough technology. But also the entire supply chain for manufacturing and selling it. And they’ve cornered more than 70% of the market!

That’s a formula for sky-high profit growth in the months and years ahead.

And more importantly, it’s a perfect opportunity for Canadian investors like us to position ourselves for a HUGE windfall. Starting today.

The 2 stocks every Canadian investor should own right now — “Bay Street’s best kept secret”

Indeed it’s hard to imagine a better investment than the stock we just discussed.

But Iain Butler is a pretty imaginative guy!

Which is why it was Iain’s SECOND stock pick that really got the investors at our “Expo” buzzing this morning.

Now don’t get me wrong. Investing in this stock means reaping the benefits of its own textbook business model. And enjoying the risk protection of its own boatload of patents.

But it also means something more.

Something that’s probably making a lot of oil sheiks hot under the collar right now…

You see, this company supplies the crucial technology that North American companies like TransCanada, Encana, Suncor, Enbridge, Exxon, and Chevron are using to break the grip of the Middle Eastern oil cartels.

(Experts project that Canadian and American energy production will nearly DOUBLE by the end of this decade… creating 550,000 new jobs in the process.)

And here’s where the news gets even better for you.

If you’ve heard the old wisdom that “the best way to make money in a gold rush is selling picks and shovels” – then you’ll appreciate Iain Butler’s new wisdom for making money in today’s energy boom. While avoiding the stomach-churning roller coaster ride that comes with investing in the drilling and refining companies directly.

So instead of picks and shovels, Iain is advising us to invest in the technology behind the specialized pipelines that those companies use to transport energy resources across North America.

And when it comes to those pipelines, Iain’s favourite energy stock is also an environmental safety leader – earning a top rating from industry watchdog Sustainalytics.

Obviously, that’s a very good thing by itself. But it’s also very good for business.

Because both the Canadian and American governments have tightened regulations in recent years. Forcing the big oil and gas companies to upgrade their equipment. (Over half the pipelines in Canada were built before 1970.)

And that means more profit for this company. Indeed, a deeper dive into their financial statements reveals that their sales backlog is a year long!

That’s literally money in the bank. And music to the ears of savvy investors like Iain Butler.

When my friend Iain shared all this research with me, and I was able to look more closely at these 2 stocks myself, I was shocked.

I really couldn’t understand why more Canadians weren’t putting them right to the top of their investment “watchlist.”

Then again, that’s a question I’ve been asking myself a lot lately.

Here we are, smack in the middle of one of the greatest bull market runs in a century. But a lot of Canadian investors are still missing out.

And that’s a shame…

Some of them are staying out of the market entirely because they’re still worried about what happened in 2008.

Some of them are sticking to a few sectors of the Canadian stock market that were traditionally (as in: back in the 1970s) viewed as more conservative.

But that means they’re missing out on a lot of the very best growth opportunities in Canada.

And that they’re also missing out on the supercharged American stock market altogether.

Iain believes the real reason for this hesitation is not the quality of the stocks themselves – like I said, these 2 stand up to any skeptical analysis you can throw at them – but rather the lack of good guidance.

(Even for investors who are forking over those $2,500 annual fees.)

Well, that’s what changed this morning in Toronto.

Forever.

Because if you had attended the Motley Fool Canada Expo with us this morning, you’d agree with me that the days of misleading commissions and overpriced fees are OVER.

You’d also know the identity of these 2 incredible stocks.

And in all likelihood, you would already own shares in them. (It looked to me like a few people in the audience were punching their brokerage website into their computers even as Iain was speaking!)

Fortunately, Iain’s made it very clear that he doesn’t want anyone to “miss out” on this morning’s good news. As long as they’re a committed individual investor who wants to grow their money over the long-term…

So I’ll tell you about the clever solution he came up with right below.

But first,

Please allow me a proper introduction

My name is Jim Gillies, and I’m a Maple Leafs fan.

Sorry, that was my therapy support group introduction. Here’s the real one…

My name is Jim Gillies, and I’m an engineer.

Now, it’s been years since my last industrial process re-design. It’s been longer than I’d care to admit since I got my master’s degree from the University of Guelph. And these days, I spend most of my time researching and writing about stocks.

But when you’re an engineer, you’re always an engineer.

You learn to question things. You become obsessed with improving them. And you develop a keen eye for the difference between what looks good on the surface, and what truly WORKS well, down to its nuts and bolts.

That’s how I look at my investing portfolio. I don’t care about the stocks that make headlines or water-cooler hullabaloo. But I do care about the ones that make money for their shareholders, quarter after quarter and year after year.

That is, the ones that work.

And that’s why I work for The Motley Fool.

Because in my experience, no other investing organization on earth has done so much to help millions of individual investors like us get smarter – and better – with their money.

I wouldn’t be surprised if you recognize the name “Motley Fool,” because it’s silly enough to stick in your mind.

But more than the image of a jester who’s wiser than all the false kings of the financial world, what really sticks in my mind is the Fool’s ironclad track record.

Like company co-founders Tom and David Gardner:

  • Leading the move to “do-it-yourself” electronic brokerage investing in the 1990s. And watching — along with millions of readers — as their little $2,017 investment in AOL grew to more than $412,000!
  • Testifying before American Congress to warn the financial industry about ignoring the rights of small investors. And (unfortunately) being proven right by the Financial Crisis of 2008.
  • Creating best-selling books, widely-syndicated newspaper columns, and radio shows. Then ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange last year — to mark just how far these Fools had come in their quest to help the world invest better.

Still, I can understand why a small company down way south of the border in Virginia might have escaped your notice.

Most people still tend to think of The Motley Fool as a community for American investors.

(Even though our investing advice is well known to readers of the Globe and Mail, the Calgary Herald, the Toronto Star, the Vancouver Sun, the Edmonton Journal, and the Montreal Gazette – and to viewers of CTV News, BNN Business Day, and CBC’s Lang and O’Leary. And even though the Fool employs a number of “international” stock advisors, like yours truly.)

Well, I’d like to correct that impression today.

But I’ll let this guy do it instead:

Our CEO Tom Gardner is a New York Times best-selling author five times over, and one of the most
widely followed stock pickers in the world. But he’s been waiting 20 years to make this little announcement.

 

We showed this same video at Iain’s event in Toronto this morning.

And I can tell you, it brought the house down!

To understand why, I need to be a nerdy engineer for a moment and throw some hard numbers at you…

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 3 times in a row on 3 different continents — and beat the stock market black-and-blue each time — shame on me!

I’ve been writing for The Motley Fool for years now, so I’m quite familiar with my co-workers’ impressive performance in the American stock market.

Indeed, as a recent article in The Wall Street Journal revealed, as of June 30 the Fool had the top three performing stock investing newsletters in America.

(A feat that’s never been accomplished before.)

Including our flagship newsletter, Motley Fool Stock Advisor. Which has delivered investors 13 different stocks that QUADRUPLED in value.

the Motley Fools track record

The Motley Fool’s international track record is second to none. And now Iain Butler’s published TSX recommendations are following in that tradition… and making Canadian investors like us a pretty penny.

Including Priceline.com, Netflix, and Marvel/Disney… which all went up MORE THAN TWENTY TIMES in value.

All told, Stock Advisor has better than tripled the S&P 500 market index over the past decade.

But I’ll admit, as one of the Fool’s “international delegates,” I always wondered if our formula for picking great stocks could work outside America.

I should have known better… of course it does!

In December of 2011, The Motley Fool launched a service called Share Advisor Australia.

Recommending that members buy Integrated Research and Thorn Group. And wouldn’t you know, these first two picks they made on the Australian stock exchange rocketed up an average of 113.9% in the first 12 months.

And just so you know those results aren’t “cherry-picked,” the average Share Advisor Australia recommendation since then has more than DOUBLED the Australian stock market. (43.9% to 17.2%.)

Meanwhile, we were also Fooling the British stock market…

Share Advisor U.K. made its first two picks on the London stock exchange in February of 2012. Recommending that members buy Halfords and Hargreaves Lansdown. And wouldn’t you know, they shot up an average of 49.4% in the first 12 months.

Again, to put that into the proper context, I should also let you know that the average Share Advisor U.K. recommendation has nearly doubled the British stock market. (23.3% to 13.4%.)

I know what you’re thinking. That sounds great, but what does that mean for me as a Canadian investor?

Well, I should be clear. It’s no guarantee of anything.

No more than hiring an engineering firm that builds bridges in America, Australia, and the U.K. is a guarantee that they’ll build a sound bridge in Canada.

In fact, I’ll go ahead and tell you that there’s one problem in particular with launching a Foolish investing service in Canada.

You have to find the right guy…

Meet the biggest Fool in Canada

Iain Butler

Iain Butler has 11+ years of experience as a professional investor in the Canadian stock market. But that’s not the real reason he was hand-picked by Motley Fool CEO Tom Gardner to run our Stock Advisor Canada newsletter service. You see, we were even more impressed that he always puts the needs of our Foolish readers FIRST. So whether you’re a rookie, or a seasoned veteran, there’s no question too big and NO question too small for Iain to answer.

But as soon as I found out that the Fool’s chief investor for Stock Advisor Canada was going to be Iain Butler, it immediately put my mind at ease.

And then it got me excited!

About what 2 stocks he would pick first.

And about everything that lies in store for Canadian investors over the next 12 months and beyond.

Here’s why…

Iain isn’t one of those fast-talking, Armani-clad Bay Street types who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. (And a hand in your pocket.)

He grew up in Grey County, Ontario. Where he worked on a dairy farm and milked cows for $5 an hour.

By the time he graduated from Wilfrid Laurier University, he knew he wanted to be a professional investor. But he didn’t have any big city connections.

So he got back to work… answering phones at a mutual fund company by day. And learning about the stock market from Tom Gardner and the other investors on the original Motley Fool website by night.

The first stock he bought for himself was Marvel. An American comic book company that struck it rich when it licensed the Spider-Man films to Sony, and then produced blockbusters like X-Men, Iron Man, and The Avengers.

(We’re not permitted to publish Iain’s personal investment return on Marvel, but we can say that the company was later acquired by the mighty Walt Disney. And that its shares are up incredible 3,256% since Tom’s brother David Gardner officially recommended Marvel in Stock Advisor on June 7, 2002.)

But as Iain moved up in the mutual fund world — even earning the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation — he started questioning the way the powers that be in Canadian finance did business.

Not just because he’d glimpsed another world of American investing “super heroes,” like Tom Gardner. But also because the higher he moved up, the more he realized that most Canadian mutual funds and financial planners didn’t put the needs of Canadian investors first.

So he quit!

Not to go back to that dairy farm in Great County. But to become the chief stock analyst for Motley Fool Canada.

Where he oversees the wildly popular Fool.ca website. And reaches 60,000 Canadian investors with his weekly “Take Stock” email.

More recently, Iain guided Canadian investors through the complex Loblaw/Shoppers merger. And through the rocky road that Blackberry and Potash Corp. experienced this summer.

Meanwhile, he was also pointing them to “hidden” stocks that represented better investing opportunities.

Like Newalta (TSX: NAL), which he highlighted on June 27 when it was trading for just $14.05. Right before it rocketed up to its current price of $15.41. And AutoCanada (TSX: ACQ), which he flagged on August 22 when it was trading for just $34.41. Before it cruised up to $35.50.

Both of these stock picks trounced the average return of the TSX index… and made Iain’s readers a cool profit.

But nevermind what happened this summer. Because it’s the two stocks (announced today) that Iain Butler has picked for the autumn, that I’m really excited about.

Will this be Canada’s greatest victory since Paul Henderson’s goal hit the back of the net?

I was able to tell you a little bit about Iain Butler’s top 2 stocks before.

But by now, you’ve probably figured out that these 2 stocks are “one and the same” as the first two stock recommendations in the inaugural issue of Stock Advisor Canada.

So it’s worth taking another minute to explain why not just Iain Butler, but our ENTIRE company — all the way up to our CEO Tom Gardner — is standing behind these picks.

You see, we’ve been monitoring the Canadian market for years. And we’ve seen a number of great stocks come along in that time.

What we haven’t seen is a single investing resource that could — for a fair and reasonable price –point Canadians to:

  • The top Canadian stocks on the Toronto exchange (TSX)… and…
  • The top American stocks on the New York exchanges (Nasdaq and NYSE) that are specifically suited for Canadian investors

Let’s use the 2 stocks Iain revealed at the investing expo this morning as an example.

  • The Canadian energy company we talked about more than TRIPLED its earnings per share in the past year – and raised its dividend payout by an incredible 25%. And with the North American energy boom in full swing, we believe it’s just getting started!
  • The American laser technology company we talked about boosted its revenue by 19% in just three months. Yet only 1 in 100 Wall Street analysts in New York are even covering it… so there’s still time to get in before it makes its next move!

Now, Iain is a straight shooter.

So he isn’t comfortable with issuing a 100% certain prediction about how these two stocks will perform over the next 12 months. And over the years to come.

After all, the American stock might zoom higher right away. While the Canadian stock might be the better pick for the long run. Or perhaps the reverse?

(Since you’ll be investing in both, that sounds like a win-win for you!)

But here’s one thing I am 100% certain of.

And Iain agrees with me…

It’s going to be a fun “competition.” And these two stocks are just the beginning. Because every month from here on out, Iain will recommend one Canadian stock and one American stock. We’ll track them all head-to-head in Stock Advisor Canada, and then we’ll see how all of those picks are doing against the rest of the stock market. 

And here’s something even more fun. You can get started RIGHT NOW.

(I told you at the beginning of this letter that Motley Fool Canada could change your life in 20 minutes. So unless you read a little faster than I do, your 20 minutes is up. Thanks for bearing with me!)

SA_CA

The first issue of Stock Advisor Canada tells you everything you need to know about investing in Iain Butler’s top 2 stock picks. No matter who wins this “competition” between Canadian and American stocks, I’m sure you’ll be pleased with your investment. And you might be even more pleased by what I say next…

You see, I have my own little announcement to make, in celebration of today’s “investing expo.”

It’s my personal invitation to sample everything our Stock Advisor Canada team brings to the table, with NO risk or obligation whatsoever.

That’s right: I want to give you the chance to profit not only from the fiber-optic laser revolution AND the North American energy boom.

But also from every other recommendation that Stock Advisor Canada makes in the months to come.

And I want you to discover for yourself everything that The Motley Fool’s latest and greatest international service has to offer — without having to risk even one dollar.

This is our “Keep Everything & Risk Nothing” DOUBLE GUARANTEE

You see, at The Motley Fool we stand behind every piece of advice, insight, and recommendation we make, with 100% confidence. No matter which side of the border we’re standing on.

That’s why your complete satisfaction is guaranteed — or your money back!

So we want you to go ahead and take a FULL 30 DAYS to take a look at Iain Butler’s research and analysis on these two “buy now” stock picks.

As well as all of the other valuable investing content in the first issue of Stock Advisor Canada, and on our members-only Stock Advisor Canada website.

And then, if for any reason you’re not totally thrilled…

… just tell us to send your money back.

Up to the last day of your first month, we’ll promptly refund every penny, NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

And just so I’m being clear… if you decide you’d like to opt out at any point after your first month, you’ll be entitled to a refund of 100% of the dollar value remaining in your membership account.

In other words, you’re completely protected. (Just take a look at what some of your fellow Canadians are saying about our U.S. based services, in the box to the right.)

But I’m pretty sure that once you have a closer look at what Iain Butler and his investing team are up to, you’ll want to stick around and get all the upcoming Stock Advisor Canada recommendations…

And I know that you need time to think about these stock investments for yourself, instead of just basing your decision on what I’ve been able to tell you here…

That’s why I hope you’ll take me up on my offer to get the full story on the 2 stocks we’ve discussed in this report, directly from Iain Butler…

Before these 2 companies release their next corporate earnings reports this autumn.

Remember, there’s a reason why Iain selected these 2 stocks as his best buys at this morning’s Investing Expo. And a reason why the select group of investors who witnessed this announcement in person are no doubt racing to invest in these stocks.

Look, once everyone (and their brother) starts to realize what a rare combination of conservative management & runaway growth upside that these stocks offer, the big sharks on Bay Street and Wall Street are bound to move in for the kill. And early investors who had the insight and discipline to scoop up these 2 stocks today could become UNBELIEVABLY RICH. Sooner than they ever thought possible!

So remember, when you accept my personal invitation and agree to sample everything Motley Fool Stock Advisor Canada has to offer without risk or obligation today, you’ll get full guidance on these 2 picks right away. And much more.

Because knowing the 2 ticker symbols is just the beginning… what you really need is a complete plan of action.

How much is that kind of advice worth?

Well, as I mentioned before, a lot of Canadians are paying as much as $2,500 a year – or 1.5% of ALL of their financial assets – to get advice that I consider much less valuable.

But nevermind them… the best way to think about its value is to consider YOUR portfolio and its future growth.

What would it mean to start getting better investment ideas for your RRSP, TFSA, or individual brokerage account — and all the support you need to turn them into real results?

I’m guessing quite a lot. But if you join us at Stock Advisor Canada right now through this special invitation, you can put Iain Butler and his team of experts to work for you for a price that’s much, much less than that.

And that’s not the only good news…

After Thanksgiving, the membership rate for access to every top recommendation on the Stock Advisor Canada scorecard (plus all our updates & reports and access to the members-only website that archives everything covered by Stock Advisor Canada) will be just $299 per year.

Given the historically unique investing opportunity we’ve discussed today, I’m sure you’ll agree that’s a bargain in itself.

But, because Iain Butler wants to make absolutely sure you don’t miss out on your chance to profit from what we fully believe to be the best thing to happen for Canadian investors in our lifetime…

… Motley Fool CEO Tom Gardner has given Iain the green light to offer you an even better deal.

One that allows you to sample everything I’ve told you about today, risk-free, for 30 full days… and then lock in our limited-time charter rate for two full years of the service.

AT JUST $149 FOR 2 YEARS of Stock Advisor Canada, YOU’LL SAVE AN INCREDIBLE $449 off the regular membership rate.

Of course, if you’d rather not take advantage of our absolute best offer, you’re still welcome to join Stock Advisor Canada for one year at the charter rate of just $99.

That’s still more than 60% LESS than many investors will eagerly pay after Thanksgiving. And you’ll still retain the option of renewing for more years at that $99 rate over the full length of your subscription. (While others are paying hundreds of dollars more to join.)

But remember, this one-time charter rate won’t last. In fact, it might not even last all the way to our holiday deadline on Oct. 13th at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time. Because if we fill all 2,500 of our charter memberships in Stock Advisor Canada before then – even if that happens THIS AFTERNOON – we’re closing the door.

That sounds a little harsh, but it’s simply a favour we owe to our charter members.

We need to focus all of our resources on helping our first 2,500 members with everything they need. And if that means we have to leave some people out, then so be it.

Take it from an engineer. When it comes to investing, quality matters more than quantity.

But don’t worry – if you’re a charter member of Stock Advisor Canada, you’ll get an impressive quantity of benefits right away!

Including Iain’s top 2 best buy stocks for investing right now, plus two more brand new, fully documented recommendations every month.

And your membership also includes:

  • The scoop on every single Stock Advisor Canada recommendation, in real time: Our scorecard shows you the current return of all of our picks — both winners and losers — and lets you keep track of how we’re doing relative to the S&P/TSX Composite Index (for Canadian stocks) and the S&P 500 index (for American stocks).
  • Updated guidance & alerts on all your Stock Advisor Canada stocks: Let’s face it. In today’s investment climate, a lot can happen in a short amount of time. That’s why you get weekly updates online and via email on important news that affects your Stock Advisor Canada companies. Including instant alerts for when to lock in your gains and sell.
  • Canada’s Most Foolish Investing Team – answering all of your questions: Stock Advisor Canada subscribers will get to know lead advisor Iain Butler quite well in the months and years to come. But they’ll also meet me, Jim Gillies. I’m the co-advisor of our premium U.S. based investing service Motley Fool Options, and I’ve got a ton of research about the Canadian market that I’d like to share with my fellow Canucks. And there’s more than two Fools on this team. You’ll also get insights from former Ontario Municipal Employee Retirement System analyst Karen Thomas, and from energy sector expert Taylor Muckerman.

So join the Stock Advisor Canada community today and you’ll get all of the above, PLUS a special bonus.

It’s one of the most popular investment guides we’ve put together since The Motley Fool first opened up shop in Canada — and it’s ABSOLUTELY FREE for you today!

Have a look…

The 2 Sides of Every Investing Decision

The 2 Sides of Every Investing Decision: Reveals the critical mistake most investors make in calculating the risk of a stock purchase. And why it presents a golden opportunity for the ones who know better. Plus, discover the two situations that alwaysmake an investment too risky… and the “pro” trick that lets you make your move at the right moment. (Exclusive bonus for charter members of Stock Advisor Canada!)

Here’s another way to think about it…

For less than 21 cents a day, you get instant access to all of the market-crushing stock picks, premium reports, and valuable investment tools we’ve discussed today.

That’s the same amount it costs you to drive your car ONE KILOMETER (we calculated it).

Think of it as a way to “go the extra mile” every day to secure your financial future. We guarantee that it will be worth it — or your money back!

Add it up and your FREE guides and discounts are worth more than $400

Yet you’ll only pay a small fraction of that — and you won’t have to risk even a single loonie.

In other words, you have everything to gain — and absolutely nothing to lose.

Of course, there is one catch…

This offer expires on Oct. 13th at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time. And quite possibly much sooner!

It’s only fair, because we need to ensure the high quality of our new service for the 2,500 charter members of Stock Advisor Canada.

So I can only guarantee everything I’ve offered you today if you join us RIGHT NOW.

P.S.Iain Butler calls his two Expo 2013 stocks “Bay Street’s best-kept secret” and “Wall Street’s most lucrative blind spot.” But how much longer can this unique buying window last? Both of these stocks are poised for an explosive jump upwards when they release their latest quarterly earnings reports this fall. So please click the “Start Now” button above — don’t risk missing out on the rare investment moment you have RIGHT NOW.

P.P.S.Out of respect to all the Fools who are joining us today, we’re only authorized to issue a total of 2,500 charter memberships to Stock Advisor Canada. Once they’re gone, they’re gone! And so is this incredible deal. So by the time we reach our holiday deadline on Oct. 13th at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time, we may already be closed for business. So I urge you to join through this email today!
