Dear Reader,

If you’re looking for the best place to put your money over the next three years, forget the stock market.

And forget gold, silver, bonds, real estate, and every other conventional investment you’ve ever heard about.

Instead, I want to tell you about a unique investment – issued by the British government – that most people aren’t aware of.

It has been used by the ultra-rich to grow and protect their wealth for decades. And now, there’s an easy way for you to take advantage of the same extraordinary profits.

You’ll receive a minimum 15% gain over the next three years… and could easily earn 698% or more (it’s happened before, as I’ll show you).

But before I get into the details, let me make a couple of things clear.

First, you probably won’t hear about this opportunity from anyone else. This is one of the most unique investments in the world.

Second, there’s a limited amount of this investment available to the general public. So if you’re interested, you have to act fast (before December 20th, 2007).

Let me explain the whole story...

Better than stocks, bonds, or real estate

This investment was first issued by the British Government under Queen Victoria in 1840.

Since then, it has been used as legal tender (money) at various times in countries around the world, including the United Kingdom, France, the United States, and Russia.

In fact, while the British were the first to issue it, today almost every government in the world has its own profitable version.

And of course, once wealthy individuals saw how safe and lucrative this investment could be, they quickly began using it for their own benefit – to protect and grow their fortunes.

For example…

Eli Lilly – the famous American who founded what is now a £30 billion pharmaceutical business – and his family have used this government-issued investment for decades.

The Lilly family’s fortune is legendary. They lived in one of the most elegant houses in America – a 22-room mansion in Indianapolis, styled after a French chateau.

The home included trompe l’oeil wall paintings and portraits by Nattier, Fragonard, Reynolds, and Goya. They had an amazing collection of first-edition books and 6,000 gold coins, which were eventually donated to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC.

What most people don’t know is that the Lilly family used a secret investment to grow and protect their wealth.

In fact, they made as much as 1,600% gains using this investment – and amassed a portfolio worth well over £1.5 million.

Dozens of other families have used it as well…

• The Rothschild family took advantage of it. At one time, they were the richest family in the world, controlling an even greater share of the world’s wealth than Bill Gates does today.

• The DuPonts also used it to grow their fortune. You probably know about the DuPont family’s chemical business, which is today worth £20 billion.

• Maurice Burrus, who came from one of the wealthiest families in Europe in the 20th century, made millions using this investment. (The F.J. Burrus Company was one of the most profitable tobacco companies in the world, which ultimately became part of British American Tobacco.)

• The Roosevelt family (of U.S. presidency fame) also used it. So did the Casparys – who ran one of the most important financial houses on Wall Street in the early 20th century. The Lindsays, a British aristocratic family, did the same.

But you don’t have to be rich to take advantage of this investment. You don’t have to come from a well-connected family either.

Thousands of regular people around the world have been using this investment to grow wealthy over the last century.

You might be wondering, however, is it as profitable today as it has been for these families over the past 100 years?

Well, let me show you…

How to turn every £1,000 into £199,000

In recent years, this investment has been used by two of the most important investors in the world: Bill Gross and Warren Buffett.

You probably know about Warren Buffett…

He’s the second richest man in America, worth £20 billion. He runs the famous holding company Berkshire Hathaway, which has earned a compound annual return of 22%. That’s the kind of return that turns every £1,000 into more than £6 MILLION.

You might not know much about Bill Gross. He runs the £280 billion Pimco Fund investment group, which has more than half of America’s 100 largest corporations as clients.

Bill Gross has written publicly about how this government-issued investment is one of his favourite assets. In fact, the New York Times wrote an article recently detailing how he has one of the largest portfolios of this asset in the entire world.

Why are important investors interested in owning this asset?

Well, for one, the returns it provides are absolutely phenomenal:

An index that tracks this investment is up as much as 19,845% since the 1920s (according to New York-based investment firm JK Inc).

That’s the kind of return that turns every £1,000 into
more than £199,000.

Even the mainstream press is beginning to catch on to the power and safety of this investment…

The New York Times reported that this class of investments is becoming much more popular, and “yields a higher return when the stock market does poorly.”

Just last month, the Independent wrote about it, saying it’s the perfect place to put your money if you’re looking “for a healthy return.”

The International Herald Tribune, Barron’s, and numerous other publications have also written about it recently.

So what is this government-issued asset – and how can you take advantage of it right now?

Your worst-case scenario:
A guaranteed 15% gain

As you probably suspect, this is quite an unusual asset class.

It has nothing to do with stocks, bonds, mutual funds, gold, silver, commodities, or any other regular investment vehicle.

It’s not widely advertised or written about either.

But as you’ll see, your worst-case return with this investment is a positive 15% – and your upside is unlimited.

Behind this extraordinary opportunity is a man named Edward Stanley Gibbons.

In short, Stanley Gibbons started a business back in 1856 selling one of the most prized classes of collectibles: Rare stamps.

Our company (named after him) was so successful that it was awarded the Royal Warrant by King George V in 1914… and continues to hold it to this day.

Located at 399 Strand, across the street from the legendary Savoy Hotel on the River Thames, Stanley Gibbons houses a collection of more than 3 million precious stamps.

No other stamp dealer can boast of such an amazing and vast collection. It’s no wonder that we’re known the world over as the number one brand name in stamp collecting – and have been for the past 150 years.

As the market leader, we’re able to acquire and invest in the finest investment-grade stamps on behalf of more than 150,000 clients around the world.

In addition to rare stamps, Stanley Gibbons offers price catalogues as well. The first one was published in 1865. Since then, they have become the standard reference guide for the entire collectibles industry.

In fact, when Bill Gross sold £5 million worth of stamps at an auction in New York earlier this year, he used Stanley Gibbons’ price guides to estimate the worth of his collection.

The reason we’ve been so successful? Our quality and integrity are unrivalled in the collectibles industry:

ALL our investments are backed by a full
lifetime guarantee of authenticity.

Of course, I understand if you think I’m exaggerating the power of rare stamps as a great investment. The idea of putting your money in collectibles may be completely new to you.

Can you really make more money investing in stamps than putting your money in stocks, bonds, and real estate?

I believe you can. Let me show you why stamps could possibly make you hundreds of percent in gains over the next few years…

Your best-case scenario:
698% gains or more…

...Over the last few decades, investors seeking alternatives to high-risk stocks and the cyclical property market have increasingly looked to rare stamps.

Rare stamps are rated among the top-performing investments of the 20th century, ahead of bonds and foreign exchange… with average returns of 10% a year, according to Salomon Brothers.

That’s the kind of return that doubles your money every 5-7 years.

In fact, stamps have outperformed the stock market since 1985.

Just take a look at how they have performed in recent years compared to the stock market:

But as I’ll show you, these gains are just the beginning of a big boom in collectibles…

You see, there are certain times in the economic cycle when rare stamp investments have historically been the most profitable: Periods of high inflation.

The last period of high inflation was in the 1970s, when prices of everything from food to petroleum skyrocketed.

Rare stamps shot up around 698% during that period.

Right now, the global economy seems to be heading into another period of price inflation.

As a recent Financial Times report put it: “For the first time since the early 1970s… [inflation] is starting to concern stable nations as well.”

That’s why I believe stamps are at the beginning of another big boom right now.

Here’s a sample of rare British stamps. Notice how every single one of them has at least doubled or tripled in value over the last few years. (And keep in mind, the biggest returns are still to come.)

Bottom line: When inflation starts to wipe out gains from stocks, bonds, and real estate… precious collectibles like stamps start to soar.

In other words, rare stamps are one of the best forms of protection for your money against economic vagaries.

Plus, in addition to being secure and profitable, rare stamps provide you with a wonderful feeling of pride: You become the owner of an important piece of history.

And remember, when you buy rare stamps through Stanley Gibbons, you can make hundreds of percent in gains in the best-case scenario. But in the worse case, you still make a minimum 15% gain.

Let me explain the details of our offer…

You only have until Dec. 20th

We’re prepared to make you a ridiculous offer because we’re convinced that the prices of high-quality rare stamps in Britain are likely to explode over the next few years.

Here are the specifics of our deal…

If you buy investment-grade rare stamps from Stanley Gibbons before December 20, 2007… in 3 years, you can do one of four things:

1. You can sell the stamps yourself, and pocket all the profits. If stamp prices go up 100%, you should be able to double your money.

2. Or, if you don’t want to go through the hassle of selling them yourself… For no commission, you can have Stanley Gibbons sell them in one of their auctions on your behalf. Again, if stamp prices double (as we expect them to), you’re likely to double your money.

3. If you just want your cash immediately, we’ll buy back your stamps at 75% of the price listed in the most current Stanley Gibbons price guide. In other words, if your portfolio doubles in value from £5,000 to £10,000, we’ll give you £7,500 in cash right away – no questions asked.

These are your options if stamp prices go up. But what if they stay flat or fall?

4. The best part of this deal is, even if stamp prices don’t go up, you’ll still make money. Stanley Gibbons will keep your £5,000 investment safe for three years, and happily return £5,750 to you at the end.

In short, you’ll get all the upside from owning the stamps. But in the worst case scenario, you’ll still recover your money – and make an additional 15% on it.

It’s like having the safety and reliability of a Certificate of Deposit, with the potential of bull-market stocks.

In the investment world, it doesn’t get any better than this.

Keep in mind: The minimum investment to take advantage of this deal is £5,000.

Investment-grade rare stamps are extremely rare – and consequently expensive. £5,000 will get you a nicely balanced portfolio. Plus, 3 years from now, your £5,000 stake could easily be worth £15,000 or more.

£5,000 is the minimum investment; however our largest single holding is £396,000. Our average investment is £22,000. The figures reflect the confidence in the market.

The only risk involved for you is that Stanley Gibbons may not be able to pay you back in three years. This risk is, of course, negligible. Remember, we’ve been around since 1856.

And even in the most disastrous and improbable scenario, if we’re not around, you’ll still own the rare stamps. You’re likely to make a lot of money simply by owning this precious commodity.

But don’t worry – in all our 150 years in business, our customers have had nothing but praise for the service they’ve received. Here’s a small sample of letters people have sent us:

"[Stanley Gibbons' Guaranteed Minimum Return Contracts] must be the investment equivalent of relaxing in front of an open fire, sipping a fine cognac, contemplating your collection of rare Victorian stamps - while all around you are losing their heads, as the markets crash and burn!" Andrew Merricks, Head of Investments, Skerritt Consultants Ltd

“I have to tell you what a great company Stanley Gibbons is! While I am a novice with respect to stamps, everything about my contacts with your company has been only positive.” ~V.C., USA

“Many thanks – you really give fabulous service.” ~T.H., London

“Thank you for your prompt attention to setting up my wife’s and my philatelic investment portfolio. We are very pleased with the result.” ~J.H., USA

“I would like to thank you personally for all your help and advice over the past months… I will certainly consider a further portfolio purchase with you sometime in the future! ~D.M.J., Somerset

In fact, recently, even The Times (London) praised Stanley Gibbons in a feature story:

“This is a small company with a big asset: its brand is imbued with an unblemished reputation for expertise and honest dealing.”

What we’re offering is an unusual investment. It will probably be completely new to you. I can almost guarantee you won’t hear of a deal like this anywhere else.

Yet, it couldn’t be easier to participate. One phone call is all you need to get started.

If you’re interested, I’d suggest getting in on this right away, because we only accept a limited amount of money in our guaranteed minimum-return contracts each year.

In fact, there’s no telling how long we can keep this offer open. I anticipate we might be fully subscribed before December 20th.

Our 4 year contracts are already fully subscribed for this year. There is only limited availability left on the 3 year contracts.

Remember; the 3 year contract will pay you a guaranteed minimum 15% capital gain over the next 3 years...and the upside is unlimited.

P.S. As I write this, there’s a flood of money pouring into collectibles like rare stamps. As a recent Wall Street Journal article reports:

“These days, wealthy people prize collectibles that are scarce and relatively illiquid, since they tend to produce stronger (or “non-correlated”) returns compared with more-common, more-liquid assets such as stocks and bonds.”

In other words, rare stamps have become favored properties among the rich. I believe NOW is the perfect time to begin investing in this valuable asset.
