But before we would even consider going public about this new discovery – we had to put Andrew’s Credit Crunch Short Indicator to the test. An Amazing Success…In late summer of 2009, our indicator tested 56 companies going back as far as 2005. It issued 56 “short now!” warnings…and in 55 of those cases, those stock values fell from 18% to 97%. 55 out of 56 is an incredible 98% success rate. And in a moment, I’ll show you the results of their studies. But let me be the first to say…we’ve been in this business for too long to believe in “magic bullets, fairy dust, or leprechauns with pots of gold…” …So before our company went public with this shorting indicator, we tested…and then re-tested it to ensure its effectiveness and efficiency could be predictable and proven. When the Credit Crunch Short Indicator worked on the first five companies with 100% accuracy, it sounded way too good to be true. So we deliberately tried to prove it false over the next several weeks…many of our staff working overtime to try and get this indicator to fail. We tested 10 companies…then 20 companies. And at this point, many other financial publishers would go public with their findings. But we still weren’t convinced. Because the subscribers to our services pay for results, we wanted to ensure this indicator was tested enough to work with greater than 90% accuracy. So we tested 30 companies…then 40 companies… By the time we tested the 56th company, the Credit Crunch Short Indicator failed only once. Finally…we accepted truth as truth. That was MORE than enough proof that we needed for this to be a success. The indicator was proven to work time and time again – and we needed to get it out to the public so others could take advantage of it in today’s “credit-crunched” economy. Because the Credit Crunch Short Indicator is so SELECTIVE – only issuing “Short now!” signals when all four key components of the indicator hit… …We knew we were sitting on ‘The Philosopher’s Stone’ of picking stocks to short that would make even seasoned, professional short-sellers green with envy. And it gets even better, because using the Credit Crunch Short Indicator allows you to… …Short Stocks Using The Most Profitable And

* All chart data is as of September 30, 2009
Had you invested $1,000 in each of those 16 plays…
You could have grown your original $16,000 into $67,370.
Also, when you consider that it only takes 10 minutes to place a trade with your broker, making these plays would have taken you less than three hours of “work.”
That’s why we at the office call this “the short path to profits.”
And to think – the chart above shows just a random sampling of 16 companies we tested in various industries.
In all, there were 55 positive test results reported over and over again…just like you see above – proving why The Credit Crunch Short Indicator could be one of the BIGGEST financial breakthroughs this decade.
The Numbers Don’t Lie…
This extensive back-tested data confirmed that Andrew and his team had truly cracked the code for shorting stocks.
And it couldn’t come at a more important time.
Today, with all the corporate scandals and government bailouts being used for executive bonuses, people view many company CEOs like they view most politicians…
Corrupt, greedy, and willing to say or do whatever they have to in order to protect their own interests…even at the expense of others.
And while company CEOs publicly proclaimed how well things were going with their companies – the numbers told another story.
For example:
- General Motors CEO, Rick Wagoner said, “I know things will turn around.”
Over the next two years, General Motors stock plummeted from $42.64 to 83 cents.
- Thornburg Mortgage CEO, Larry Goldstone said, “We will NOT be filing for bankruptcy!”
Just 24 months later – their stock was trading for just one penny per share.
- Nortel Networks CEO, Frank Dunn predicted, “I think we will grow faster than the market!”
By spring, their stock crashed from $31.63 to just seven cents per share.
- Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation said, “The best is yet to come.”
Their stock dropped from $12.75 to 14 cents.
- Lear Corporation CEO, Roberto Rossiter proclaimed, “Our outlook for 2008 is solid, our financial position is strong…”
In July 2009, the Lear Corporation filed bankruptcy.
- And…Robert Wood, CEO of Chemtura Corp. optimistically expressed, “I remain excited by Chemtura’s future.”
Within two years, his company’s shares sunk from $12 to 72 cents.
The Credit Crunch Short Indicator analyzes what really matters (a company’s financial numbers) – not any of the babble you hear from CEOs or mainstream media news pundits.
And when all four components of it trigger a “Short now!” warning – you know that it has been proven to work 98% of the time from our back-tested results.
This gives you the opportunity to easily, and more safely capture high double and triple-digit gains.
Right now, I’m hoping you understand that when it comes to predicting the markets – there is no such thing as “a sure thing.”
If you’re the kind of person who believes everything they hear at face value without really thinking about what it means to them – and their portfolio – well, then we might as well part ways here.
And while I can’t guarantee you that Andrew’s Credit Crunch Short Indicator will continue to predict downward movements 98 out of 100 times indefinitely…
…I can admit how confident I feel about his Credit Crunch Short Indicator breakthrough and its valuable ability to target troubled companies.
In January 2010, Andrew’s indicator became even more valuable to those subscribers who had exclusive access to it…
Andrew Cracks The Banking Code – Giving Investors The Opportunity To Strategically
Exploit Banks’ Corporate Losses…
In 2009, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) closed 140 banks because they were insolvent…broke…bankrupt.
Despite government bailouts or other assistance…in the end, THEY ALL FAILED.
It’s even worse right now…
At the end of January in 2010, the FDIC had already seized 15 more banks.
And if that is any sign of things to come – multiply that sobering statistic by 12 months and you’ll see 180 MORE banks go bankrupt in 2010.
Andrew figured that since banks were companies, he could apply his Credit Crunch Short Indicator and predict which ones could fail.
But it didn’t work.
Because banks’ financials were different than typical companies, Andrew and his team needed a different mathematical equation than the Altman Z-Score.
And after digging through archives of banking research from the last 30 years, he uncovered a mathematical equation developed by RBC Capital Markets analyst Gerard Cassidy and his team in the 1980’s.
This equation is called “The Texas Ratio.”
It was used to determine a bank’s solvency and effectively predict which banks would fail throughout the Savings and Loan Crisis of the 1980’s and early 1990’s. And it’s still used by some large financial rating firms today…
Simply put – to find a bank’s Texas Ratio, you just divide the value of the bank’s non-performing assets (i.e., bad loans) by the total outstanding equity and loss reserves.
When the ratio is 1:1 then the bank is insolvent.
But there was a problem…just like using the Z-Score; an investor can’t rely on Texas Ratios alone.
Many times – even though a bank’s Texas Ratio was 1:1 or greater, the bank still remained in business.
This happened because some banks were able to raise more capital to cover its losses…or they received bailouts from the government.
This inconsistency was unacceptable to Andrew.
He knows that 118 banks are positioned to fail. It’s not a matter of if – but when…
So he combined the Texas Ratio with the other three components of his Credit Crunch Short Indicator (momentum of the ratio, direction of the ratio, and the share price action).
And in doing so, he cracked the banking code…
…Allowing investors to profit by knowing when a bank’s share values will fall 18 to 97% up to six weeks in advance.
See the three case studies below to see how the Credit Crunch Short Indicator could now help you make personal profits on banks’ corporate losses…
Bank Case Study #1: Corus Bankshares
Bank Case Study #2: FifthThird Bank
Bank Case Study #3: Citigroup
Using the Credit Crunch Short Indicator with put options – you could have done even better than with pure short-selling.
Let me explain…
Banks like FifthThird and Citigroup have hundreds of options to choose from, allowing you to control a dollar’s worth of shares for over a year for less than twenty cents.
You could have turned…
…A 90% fall in Corus BankShares value price into 450% gains.
…A 98% plummet in FifthThird’s shares into a 490% windfall.
…An 83% drop in Citigroup’s stock into a 415% return.
Imagine using THAT kind of leverage to consistently boost the profitability of your investment plays.
And there’s one more important thing I wanted to tell you about using the Credit Crunch Short Indicator for both regular companies and banks that could significantly fatten your brokerage account…
Stocks Fall Faster Than They Rise
The companies’ stock values I mentioned in this report all dropped much faster than they rose over the previous years.
And that’s not just a chance circumstance.
Bank stocks…company stocks…ALL stocks fall faster in value than they rise.
It happens like clockwork. Forbes magazine summed it up best…
“These results are in line with our earlier research |
Notice they didn’t say, “…fall a little bit faster” they said, “…stocks fall a lot faster.”
Here’s proof:
- It took AIG 14 years to go from $50 to $1,000 a share. But it only took 10 months for share prices to fall from $1,000 back down to $50. That’s 16.8 times faster.
- Citigroup took 12 years to increase their share prices from $5 to $50…but in just 16 months, those shares tumbled back down to $5 again. That’s 9 times faster.
- And for the auto giant Ford…it took them 10 years to quadruple their share value from $2 to $8, but it plummeted back down to $2 in only five months. That’s an astounding 24 times faster.
That’s just individual stocks. If you look at the S&P 500 from October 2002 through October 2007 – over five years, it rose 102%.
Had you been invested in a mutual fund that mirrored that index and you took your profits at that time – you could have doubled your money. But…
And had you stayed in that fund just nine months longer figuring you would pocket even more profits, you could have lost 58% of your gains.
Why? Because mutual funds only allow you to play the upside of stocks.
This upset Andrew to see people being slaughtered in the marketplace because their investments only made them money when stock values went up.
As a result – he decided to use his Credit Crunch Short Indicator to help as many people as he could profit from when stock values go down.
Never Worry About This Recessionary
Economy Again When You Could Be Making
Money – When Stocks Fall…
In autumn of 2009, Andrew launched his one-of-a-kind financial research advisory and aptly named it, The Credit Crunch Short Report.
To my knowledge, this is the only “stock-shorting” advisory in the world that uses the highly predictable Texas Ratio AND Altman Z-Scores to indicate when a bank or company is in financial trouble and in danger of bankruptcy.
And today, we’re re-opening enrollment to new subscribers…
Here’s EVERYTHING You’ll Get *NOTE: No Other Financial Service #1 – One year’s subscription to The Credit Crunch Short Report – the only “stock-shorting” research advisory in the world that uses the highly predictable Texas Ratio AND Altman Z-Score to indicate when a bank or company is near bankruptcy. As a subscriber, you will become part of a small and exclusive group of investors that could make substantial profits from just a few key plays a month…without obsessing over watching the markets every day – allowing you to enjoy your life and hobbies…and never worrying if stocks go down, but instead cheering them on when they do! #2 – Phone and email support with our knowledgeable customer service representatives who are available to help you with maintenance of your subscription to this research advisory. #3 – Receive regular trading alerts where you’ll sometimes receive at least two every month. The success of the Credit Crunch Short Indicator is that it is highly selective. So during bull market rallies, it is not uncommon for the indicator to remain silent. However, in this recessionary economy – we’ve been issuing AT LEAST two plays each month. Most importantly, in order to protect your capital – Andrew will only recommend option plays when all four key components of his Credit Crunch Short Indicator are met to ensure the greatest possible gains while minimizing the potential for losses. #4 – Comprehensive reasons behind each and every trade recommendation so you, as a subscriber, can see “behind the curtain” into Andrew’s mind and understand why he recommends particular short plays over others. Other services tell you what investments or trades to make and when to make them. We take it a step further and tell you WHY you should be making them – giving you confidence in your trading abilities. #5 – Word-for-word instructions for every option play whether you place your order with your broker by phone or by email. This way – there is absolutely no chance for misunderstanding or missing out on a winning recommendation! #6 – Receive up-to-date information on banks/companies on our “Watch List For Troubled Banks And Companies.” When you are armed with this proprietary information, you’ll be able to adjust other investments in your portfolio for maximum profit. #7 – The feeling of certainty knowing that these option plays are being provided by a successful financial analyst whose investment experience and practice started in junior high school! Other advisory services are staffed with “all-theory” analysts that only bring their book knowledge to the table. With The Credit Crunch Short Report – you can rest easy knowing Andrew and his team bring years of real-world, battle-tested experience with sharply-honed instincts on when to make the most profitable plays…and use risk management measures to limit your investing risk. #8 – The opportunity for you to recoup the losses your investment portfolio has lost from the recent stock market collapses in a short period of time (weeks or months, instead of years or decades). As I mentioned before, stocks fall faster than they rise – and because of that, you can still capitalize on the upcoming bank failures and company bankruptcies before we see another bull market rally. #9 – The ability to pad your wallet with infusions of cash to pay off bills, fund vacations, or re-invest in your portfolio for greater financial comfort and ease. Everybody’s financial goals are different, so only you can decide what goals you would use this service as a means to achieving.

So How Much Does It Cost?
The retail price for a 12-month subscription to The Credit Crunch Short Report is $1,997.
I understand that’s not cheap – but there are two important reasons for that:
Reason #1 - This is a highly specialized financial research service…one that requires a significant investment of time, research, money, and manpower on our part.
Thus, without a high price tag, this service would not be possible. There’s no other way to say it.
Reason #2 – Earlier in this letter, I showed you the chart of 16 companies we tested using Andrew’s Credit Crunch Short Indicator showing plays that had the ability to turn an original $16,000 investment into $67,370 in under three years.
With those kinds of gains, you could easily recover your subscription investment cost with just two or three option plays.
But subscribing to this financial research service is not about recovering your initial investment costs, it’s not about Andrew issuing recommendations - it’s about making you money. Period.
And when you are making that kind of money - it’s easy to feel secure, independent, and to finally have peace of mind.
Even if $1,997 is a “big number” to you at the moment, spending it won’t really alter your life much overall.
And here’s why…
When you think about it, your investment in this service breaks down to just $5.47 a day for a year.
Think about all the “stuff” you DO spend $5.47 on over the course of a year…and that’s money that just evaporates right into thin air.
…A beer at the bar after a stressful day at work.
…A trip to Starbuck’s for your favorite morning or mid-afternoon “pick-me-up.”
…Or a quick lunch at McDonald’s.
NOTHING can come back to you from that kind of daily spending.
It’s amazing how easy it is to spend $5.47 a day.
And what do you have to show for it? A bigger gut and a harder liver.
So spending $5.47 per day like you may be doing right now might not have a big positive impact on your life, however, investing in The Credit Crunch Short Report sure could.
Profits, free time, a comfortable lifestyle…
Everything you deserve and have worked so hard for – yet up to this point may have always seemed to escape you. But it doesn’t have to be that way anymore.
The Credit Crunch Short Report was designed as a vehicle that could help you achieve your financial goals faster.
Here’s your chance to…
…See your brokerage account GROW while your peers’ accounts shrink.
…Finally pay off debts that have been weighing you down like an albatross around your neck.
…Put some extra cash in your pocket that would allow you to upgrade your car to a newer, more reliable model or take that long-overdue vacation to a destination on your “bucket-list.”
Look, I’m not going to promise you the world, but imagine for a moment how great it would feel to accomplish just one of the goals above.
Best of all, you can put the entire investment in this service on your credit card and have the opportunity to make back the full amount before you even get your next statement!
Anyone who is serious about making money and accomplishing their goals would easily find this a worthwhile investment – especially because it comes with a 100% risk-free, get-your-money-back-guarantee for 60 days.
I’m going to be straightforward with you…
Don’t invest in this service if you are only looking to “make a quick buck.”
We’re looking for people who see the opportunity to diversify their overall investing strategy using this unique service…
…Not perpetual tire-kickers or people who jump from one service to the next looking for “the magic bullet.”
I’ll save you the suspense, there isn’t one.
But…if there ever was, then THIS would be the closest thing to it.
So please, if you’re not serious about making money or accomplishing your goals – then don’t invest in this research advisory. There’s absolutely no shame on your part and I’ll completely understand.

Our publisher, Erika Nolan, approached me about offering a $500 discount for new subscribers when we re-open this service to the public.

(Oh…and remember – time is of the essence, so read them quickly and when you’re ready to take action – welcome aboard!)
“My Faith In You Was Confirmed…”
“Please let me congratulate you on your choices for The Credit Crunch Short Report. I was a bit wary to spend the money to subscribe, especially as it was a sort of a leap in the dark as far as option trading is concerned. And my first order really made me nervous as it started out with a serious decline in value! However, my faith in you was confirmed as it has lately gained sharply. As have the following trades! Please keep up the good work!”
– G.B.
“…Staying Ahead Of The Curve.”
“Keep up the good work. You folks have educated me to the point I totally understand the problem and am becoming pro-active in staying ahead of the curve.”
– D.M.
“…You Have Taken A Lot Of ‘Fear’ Out Of The Process.”
“Hi Andrew, I just wanted to thank you for your kind welcome letter. Moreover, I couldn’t be more pleased with the Credit Crunch Short Report. This is my FIRST foray into options of any kind and you have taken a lot of “fear” out of the process. Most of all, I appreciate your conservative approach (I work hard for my money!) I have mentioned your program to a number of colleagues so hopefully you will have some new members soon. Keep up the great work.”
- T.P.
“You’re A Class Act.”
“You’re a class act. I appreciate the welcome to your subscriber base. No other newsletter has treated me this way.”
-T.W.
“…Keep Up The Interest Of Us Lay People.”
“This kind of report will keep up the interest of us lay people. Hope to explore this journey of success and profit together.”
- Dr. A. V.
“It’s Also Wonderful To Have Someone At My Back.”
“Finally I found someone who understands “at-the-money” options! I’ve asked several professional educators--heh-- no one could explain the very basics, other than near or out of the money puts and calls. It’s easy to understand everything about options when The Credit Crunch Report is clearly and simply stated. It’s also wonderful to have someone at my back. Really happy I signed up—it’s like getting a big bonus for learning and being educated – while making money.”
