Special Free Report From The Motley Fool

By: Jordan DiPietro

It wasn’t until March 8, 2002 — and the first ever “Ground Floor Event” — that the Motley Fool truly changed the world for individual investors like you forever…

You see, on that day, Motley Fool co-founders David and Tom Gardner finally did what their fans and followers had been asking them to do for so long…

And that was provide clear-cut and easy-to-understand guidance on exactly which stocks they believed hardworking individual investors should be putting their money behind at any given point in time.

They called this bold and highly anticipated new undertaking, Motley Fool Stock Advisor

And by simply following along with David and Tom’s monthly recommendations in Stock Advisor investors of all backgrounds and experience levels were able to get in on what David and Tom considered to be the ground floor of some of the most exceptional investment opportunities of our time…

(Which is why even though David and Tom rarely recommend IPOs, we’ve come to think of these recommendations as “Ground Floor Events”.)

Of course, as you may well remember, with the collapse of the dot com bubble and ongoing concerns about global terrorism, 2002 wasn’t exactly the easiest time to be an investor…So we think it speaks volumes about David and Tom’s disciplined long-term approach to investing that of the 24 stocks they recommended during their first year at Stock Advisor (and have either held or since sold)…

  • 21 — or 88% — are currently in positive territory…
  • 19 — or 79% — are currently beating the market…
  • 14 — or 58% — have more than doubled in value…
  • 8 — or 1 in 3 — are up more than 500%…
  • 6 — or 1 in 4 — are up more than 1,000%…

In fact, all told, had you taken advantage of each of the “Ground Floor Events” that occurred during that first year of Stock Advisor, you’d be up an average of over 1,000% right now…

And just $1,000 invested into each of those early recommendations would have turned into a meaningful $241,200 stake by now.

There’s little doubt you have plenty of ideas about what you could do with that kind of extra money…

And we think it’ll give you some idea of why so many investors get so excited for the kind of “Ground Floor Events” we’ll be discussing today.

But as well as our Stock Advisor members have done so far, we think Canadian investors like you might be able to do even better going forward. Here’s why…

Since launching Stock Advisor in 2002, David and Tom Gardner’s average recommendation is up an incredible 197%…

That’s a return over THREE TIMES GREATER than the S&P 500 benchmark… and works out to a remarkable 17% annualized gain.

We imagine you’ll agree that’s pretty impressive…

But, in order to truly serve all of the individual investors who needed their help, David and Tom Gardner knew they couldn’t stop there…

So following the success of Stock Advisor they began launching similar newsletters across the world… first in the UK, then in Australia, and most recently, in Canada!
