Being a StreetAuthority subscriber has privileges. That includes learning firsthand about our biggest breakthroughs.

I want to let you know about one such discovery. It’s likely to be one of the most groundbreaking finds in our company’s history and could completely change the way you invest.

We’re still finalizing the research, but the results are promising. It’s a new method that has produced average annual gains of 21.4% during the past decade, compared with the S&P’s 7.1% a year.

I’ll tell you more in just a moment, but first I want to reintroduce you to the man behind this research — Michael J. Carr.

You may have heard from Mike recently in this article.

Mike is one of our brightest experts here at StreetAuthority. He also has one of the most interesting backgrounds of any analyst on our staff.

Mike holds a degree in chemistry and an MBA. He retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force. His service included stints in Spain, Germany, Japan, Korea, Iceland and Guam.

And he’s a former investment manager who was responsible for $200 million in assets.

Mike is also among the most decorated traders in the country. He is a Chartered Market Technician (CMT), of which there are only about 1,400 in the world. And he’s written two books on the subject of investing.

Now, Mike is just finishing up a breakthrough study.

By using the same stocks our StreetAuthority experts — Carla Pasternak, Elliott Gue, Amy Calistri and Nathan Slaughter — hold in their StreetAuthority portfolios, Mike figured out a way to squeeze out larger gains without using complicated tools such as derivatives, options or futures.

As I said, Mike’s technique earned an average annual gain of 21.4% during his decade-long backtest — that’s three times the comparable rate of gain in the S&P 500. Take a look at the growth of $100,000 during that time:

Best of all, anyone can follow along using their current brokerage account.

So how did he do it?

Over the decades, Mike has developed a one-of-a-kind system to better identify stocks most likely to rise… and to avoid the ones most likely to fall. I’ll let him get into all the details in the coming days. For now, just know that Mike’s system uses a few simple concepts that anyone can pick up easily.

By laying this system on top of the stocks our experts already recommend, Mike is finding remarkable returns and maximizing profits.

The results haven’t been finalized, but they should be finished in about a week.

Rest assured, once ready, you’ll be hearing more from Mike about this opportunity on StreetAuthority. This is going to be big.
