Sound far-fetched?

The Deep Blue of
Stock Picking 
What if Warren Buffett, Benjamin Graham and Peter Lynch were personally giving you advice on how to manage your portfolio?
Our computer algorithm (built and patented by MIT and Harvard Business School grad John Reese) simulates exactly that.
In a world where computers can answer telephones, give directions, build cars, perform surgery guide missiles and regularly do the "impossible," this is just the next logical step.
Remember Deep Blue, IBM's formidable chess computer that beat Grandmaster Garry Kasparov in a famous series of matches?
Until Deep Blue came along, even life-long programmers believed there was no way a computer could think "intelligently" enough to beat a human in chess.
After all, the number of possible moves is astronomical. Even a supercomputer can't evaluate all of the options.
So Deep Blue didn't even try to.
Instead of looking ahead, Deep Blue looked into the past… into the hundreds of thousands of classic chess games stored in its data banks.
In other words, Deep Blue's computer algorithm tapped into the intelligence of the greatest human players who preceded it.
In particular, it knew every single move played by Garry Kasparov's toughest competitors.
Deep Blue also knew every chess move that Kasparov had ever made, enabling it to identify trends, strengths and weaknesses. It was almost as if Kasparov was playing himself – the computer used its stored information to mimic some of Kasparov's favorite moves and gain an advantage.
Here's another example:
Remember Watson? Not Sherlock Holmes' sidekick, but the artificial intelligent computer system that competed on Jeopardy! Watson won against two champions and took home the game's first $1 million prize. Watson used a fast algorithm that can browse a massive catalog of all known trivia.
And now this same kind of artificial intelligence has
come to investing...
Our unique stock-picking algorithm uses the strategies of 10 of history's greatest investors – not just Warren Buffett, but Benjamin Graham, Kenneth Fisher and seven more legendary wealth-builders – to locate the very best stocks in the market.
Deep Blue and Watson used their technology to win the top spots in chess and Jeopardy!
We're winning against the market, outperforming the S&P 500 three times over...
How It All Began
Meet John Reese, an MIT and Harvard Business School grad, who developed the stock-picking program, which carefully mimics the moves of the greatest investors of all time.
Things always came easy to John... until he tried to match wits with Wall Street. At 16 he left high school early to enroll in MIT's electrical engineering and computer science programs. Then he got an MBA from Harvard and moved to Connecticut to start a computer-networking company. Nine years later, he sold it to GE Capital for a big payday.
Flush with cash, John set out to invest his windfall and live off the income forever...
But he knew that he would need a unique and powerful method to do it. He spent the next several years putting together the computer architecture that would accomplish this dream.
Using his background in artificial intelligence (he was a member of the artificial intelligence lab at MIT), he developed mathematical models that mimic the published strategies of Warren Buffett and nine other all-time greats.
His methods were so innovative that he was awarded a patent (U.S. #6,370,516) for the way that they process the guru recommendations. He also received another patent (U.S. #6,236,980) for his "Hot List" investment strategy.
The "Hot List" is a rotating list of the 10 best picks discovered by the Masters of Wall Street algorithm. The list is published every two weeks and is calculated on the most current market conditions.
Following the recommendations on the list will mean that you're always in sync with the market...
Let the System Do the Heavy Lifting
John has been using this system with real money for 11 years now, and the results are clear: He's earned 3 times more than the market. If you had invested $100,000 in the S&P 500 11 years ago, it would now be worth $184,200. That sounds pretty good until you realize that the same $100,000 in our Hot List is now worth $355,600!
With access to our Masters of Wall Street, you can see how exciting investing can be. You can ignore all the distractions that bog down most investors – what the Dow is doing... where interest rates are going... whether inflation is returning – and let us do the heavy lifting for you.
With Masters of Wall Street, you can just focus on what investing is supposed to be about: beating the market and piling up profits.
We'd like you to evaluate for yourself how effective this system is, so that you can see first-hand what it's like to earn these "automatic" returns...

The "Deep Blue" of Stock-Picking Has Achieved a
256% Return Since Inception
Since he started it, John Reese's "Hot List" has returned an annualized 13%, more than double the 5.9% annualized gain of the S&P 500.
That comes to a total return of 256% versus just 84% for the S&P 500.
The portfolio also has an annual "win rate" of 81%, meaning it has beaten the S&P 500 in 9 out of the 11 years of its existence.
The "Hot List" is published 26 times a year, each list providing more opportunities to use the expertise of 10 of history's best investing masters.
Here are some typical "Hot List" picks taken straight from the 9/27/13 list:
30.7% on Lear Corporation (NYSE:LEA) in 7 months.
49.8% on HCI Group (NYSE:HCI) in 6 months.
And here are a few picks from the 1/20/12 list:
37.8% on Capella Education Company (NASDAQ:CPLA) in 5 months.
42.8% on Aeropostale (NYSE:ARO) in 4 months.
And from the 10/28/11 list:
33.1% on GT Advanced Technologies (NASDAQ:GTAT) in 1 month.
41.2% on Gamestop (NYSE:GME) in 2 months.
Your Very Own Dream Team
I like to think of the gurus on our Masters of Wall Street squad as an "investment all-star team."
You must remember the famous basketball "dream team" the United States sent to the 1992 Olympics. It was probably the greatest collection of players ever assembled. It included Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. Its average margin of victory was 44 points, and the team cruised to a gold medal with almost laughable ease.
But was it really the greatest basketball team ever? While Jordan, Johnson and Bird certainly rank among the top players of all time, a true "dream team" would have to include the likes of Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson, to name a few. Problem is, history's greatest players didn't all play in the same era, so there is no way to put them all on the same team and actually play a game. But what if you could?
Suppose there were some way to put ALL of the great players on the same team while they were in their prime. Imagine a fast break led by Jerry West, dishing off to Michael Jordan or Julius Erving. Or Bob Cousy feeding Kareem Abdul Jabbar his patented sky hook. Pretty neat, right? You wouldn't have to be a genius to coach that team to victory.
Luckily for investors, you don't need to assemble the all-time stock-picking greats in person to benefit from their expertise. You can put them all on the same team, and each of them will perform as well as he did in his prime… because their unique systems of managing money never grow old.
That's why our Wall Street All-Star roster is even better than a regular all-star team. With Masters of Wall Street, it's like we have the entire Wall Street Hall of Fame working for us in their prime.
Meet Your Dream Team: Put the Masters of Wall Street
to Work for You…
Warren Buffett: The Berkshire Hathaway chairman has generated 24% annualized returns for more than three decades with his value-focused, patient, long-term approach.
Peter Lynch: Lynch's Magellan fund gained an average of 29.2% over more than 13 years – just about doubling the broader market's gain – by using a "growth at a reasonable price" strategy.
Benjamin Graham: Known as the "Father of Value Investing" – and Buffett's mentor – Graham posted per-annum returns of about 20% from 1936 to 1956, far outpacing the 12.2% market average.
Martin Zweig: During the 15 years that it was monitored, Zweig's stock-picking service returned an average of 15.9% per year by finding strong growth stocks. It ranked #1 out of more than 100 competitors for risk-adjusted returns over that long period.
John Neff: Over a remarkable three-decade run that began in 1964, Neff guided the Windsor fund to a 13.7% average annual return, easily outpacing the S&P 500's 10.6% return during that time with his value-based approach.
Kenneth Fisher: The author, Forbes columnist and money manager pioneered the use of the price/sales ratio, and his Forbes picks have nearly doubled the S&P 500's gain since 1996.
James O'Shaughnessy: O'Shaughnessy's examination of historical stock market returns ranks among the most in-depth ever. His back-testing identified a growth/value hybrid approach that beat the S&P 500 by more than 5.5 percentage points per year over more than four decades.
David Dreman: This contrarian guru managed one of the best-performing mutual funds ever, ranking as the best of 255 funds in its peer groups from 1988 to 1998, according to Lipper Analytical Services.
Joel Greenblatt: In his Little Book That Beats the Market, hedge fund manager Greenblatt laid out a stunningly simple way to beat the market using two – and only two – fundamental variables. It produced back-tested returns of 30.8% per year from 1988 through 2004, crushing the S&P 500's 12.4% return during that time.
Joseph Piotroski: This little-known accounting professor wrote a highly influential paper that laid out an accounting-based value-investing method that produced 23% average annual back-tested returns over a two-decade period – more than doubling the S&P 500's gain.
Nine out of our 10 portfolios have beaten the market over the past 11 years – most of them by huge margins. Our Neff-based fund is our only underperformer of the 10, mildly trailing the S&P 500.
The "Extra Dividend"
Benjamin Graham said, "If you are shopping for common stocks, choose them the way you would buy groceries, not the way you would buy perfume."
When it comes to investing, emotions are your enemy. Most investors become overconfident when they feel good, and miss opportunities when they're too afraid.
If you can avoid costly emotional mistakes, you will earn that "extra dividend" when following John Reese's system.
In Masters of Wall Street, you won't find hunches, guesswork or speculation; what you will find is steadfast devotion to quantitative systems that have proven to be incredibly successful over the long haul. The concept combines strategies to minimize risk and maximize returns. You end up eliminating the emotions by sticking with a quantitative investing strategy.
It's like having history's most successful investors looking over your shoulder, helping you fill your portfolio with the best stocks money can buy.
