The last time the stock market was even close to being this bad was right after the tech bubble burst in 2000 and 2001. And that’s right when investment expert Ian Wyatt launched his Growth Report small cap investment advisory service. In fact, he launched only a few weeks before the tragic attacks of September 11, 2001. For a stock investing newsletter, this could not have been a worse time to get started. But for investors willing to push aside the fear and panic it was a great time to build the base of their portfolio. And Ian knew this.

As a student of the market Ian knew that the best opportunities for triple digit winners were in small cap stocks and he knew that the best timing was during a market downturn. Ian’s thesis was simple: find profitable small cap companies with a clean balance sheet (thus ensuring their ability to survive) and strong prospects to lead within a growth industry (thus ensuring rapid share price appreciation). It sounds easier than it actually is, but Ian did it over and over again throughout 2001, 2002, 2003 and on into the rest of the decade. For example:

Peyto Energy Trust (PEY-TO): +1774%

Bankrate (Nasdaq:RATE): +706%

J2 Global Communications (Nasdaq:JCOM): +546%

Lexar Media: +444%

InvesTOOLS (Nasdaq:SWIM): +409%

iMergent: +251%

And now Ian’s doing it all over again. This time he’s going after micro cap and small cap stocks. He’s looking at two types of small cap stocks: those for quick double digit gains over the next couple months and those for triple digit gains a year or two out as the markets recover. Make no mistake, they will recover. It’s just a question of whether you’ll make a ton of money when they do or you’re like so many other investors saying, "I wish I’d bought some stocks in 2009..."

To help explain all this and the new small cap stock service, Ian’s hosting an online investor conference and will have his equities research analyst Jason Cimpl and vp of content Bob Bogda with him. He’ll explain how to find small cap stocks that will not only survive but be the market leaders when the market recovers and he’s giving details on his tow latest picks.
