    Anyone know anything about this one? Touted by Keith Fitz-Gerald of Money Map Press.

    He claims:

    Finally, my very own Eureka! moment arrived…

    The algorithms for predicting the market and stock price movements in advance were mine.

    I call these algorithms The Geiger Index.

    But instead of detecting radiation, the Geiger Index “lights up” with the future price movements of any company or market I choose. Right down to the penny. And with a 95% accuracy rating.

    And it doesn’t matter which investment or time period I choose. I can take any stock, any ETF, any currency, any bond and tell you where it’s likely to be trading two months out… or five years out… just by entering a few data points and hitting “calculate price.”

    Vague clues to a few companies:

    For example, as of this writing (late fall 2008 in the heart of the financial crisis) The Geiger Index is sitting on a number of doubles and triples while most investors are losing their shirts.

    This multi-national powerhouse has about 210,000 shareholders, and I’m willing to bet most of them are down almost 30% since we bought this stock earlier this year. But thanks to The Geiger Index, we’re UP 65.85% – a 95-point difference in our favor!

    This multi-national energy leader has about 190,660 shareholders whose shares are down about 10% since I issued a buy on this stock early in 2008. But thanks to The Geiger Index, I recommended a high-probability trade that is UP 200% percent – a triple- digit gain and a triple-digit difference in our favor!

    This mammoth electricity generator is making good money for its many international investors since we bought it in early 2008…about 25%. But thanks to The Geiger Index, we’re UP 71% – a 51-point difference in our favor!

    Any thoughts folks?

    I read the same mailing as you and am equally intrigued. One must remember that the future is not a given time-line but can go in any direction. Just when you think you have a perfect prediction, something happens that was unexpected and it affects your scenario in ways you never thought of. At least the letter doesn't say it's certain, but identified " a high-probability trade". He does not mention how many similar predictions resulted in poor outcomes.

    If one buys into the service, he gets recommended trades with the provisio:

    "Every investor who receives The Geiger Index recommendations will have paid for this privilege. It wouldn't be fair to you or the others to reveal these opportunities to anyone who hasn’t paid." This is wrong, for if once you bought a stock and passed on the tip to someone else and they in turn, bought the stock, it would tend to drive the price up faster. Maybe that is even what this mathematical genius is even counting on.

    I get a great kick out of sleuthing down a pick by any of these soothsayers and then watching the fireworks show. Another letter just hitting the epresses is from Motley Fool who is offering a 60% discount for their newsletter for those who sign up before New Year's Eve. They're also picking 10 stocks for great returns. Heck..all they'd have to do is sign up for the Geiger Index and then release the company names as the Motley-Fool Picks. Since the Geiger Index does not give the subscribers the actual algorithm to evaluate their own favorite picks, no one can really claim it works for them with their own portfolios. Many of us watch the Jim Cramer show where he turns down many a caller's pick in a given sector and proceeds to shovel his own favorite in that same sector as being a better one. However, from time to time he apologizes for his shortsightness. You'll never get such a retraction from this Wall Street mathematician.

    Maybe Keith Fitz-Gerald just eats a box of Alpha-Bits and craps out stock ticker symbols.

    Bernie Madoff told everyone that he was making money and never losing; wait; he was making money and not losing money, JUST THOSE WHO BOUGHT INTO THAT LIE. Someone knows and will tell the "gumshoers". Apache

    I don't think there was an overwhelming response fo the Geiger Index solicitation. I received another offer this morning (January 2) that promised a reduced price if I subscribe by 5:00 PM December 31.

    (Maybe fractals allow you to break through the time-space continuum.)

    First, he claims he can predict prices "to the penny...". Maybe that should be the first indicator!
    Second, his story about a "physical" overheating and "meltdown" of his computer....I just don''t believe there is a program that can do that. Overvoltage, si -Program, NO!
    and frankly, I too, am tired of the constant pitches. I like Motley Fool, the idea that folks voicing opinions should disclose their own holdings, and a LOT of what they write, but they consistently offer "click here for the name of a stock..", then send you to another pitch!

    Keith Fitz-Gerald 5 doublers:

    "Easy Double" #1: The shipping company China NEEDS to Keep Growing...
    The $585 billion Chinese stimulus plan is already creating an estimated 100 million tons of steel demand...

    According to Sichuan government sources, earthquake reconstruction efforts alone will require 37 million tons over the next three years.
    But this is where it gets really interesting. Currently, Chinese steel inventories are estimated at only 11 million tons – less than one-third of what's required.

    So where does this company fit in? It's a dry bulk shipper providing a crucial link in the country's supply chain for iron ore. It's got a double-digit yield and a safe payout ratio of 23%... And it's currently trading cheap, in an industry Wall Street is overlooking at the moment, which means it's poised to hand us an easy double...

    "Easy Double" #2: The world's cheapest solar power manufacturer...
    China has gobs of cash and they're not afraid to spend it, especially on things that the country needs to meet its continued growth and prosperity – like clean energy. The Chinese Central Government recently announced they were going to be spending as much as $30 billion to support green programs as part of its new stimulus package. And that's good news for this company.

    Even with energy prices falling like rocks in late 2008, this company posted a 62.5% increase in quarterly earnings. Not to mention, it beat 3 of the last 4 earnings estimates by an average of 27%. And the numbers read like a value investor's dream, trading at a ridiculously low forward PE ratio and PEG.

    "Easy Double" #3: A large oil company about to go on a government backed spending spree...
    While most major integrated oil companies are cutting back spending in the face of lower oil prices, this one has been given a green light and a blessing from the Chinese Central Government to go on a global shopping spree that capitalizes on global weakness and generally low energy prices. With roughly 7.5% of its share price in cash, it definitely has the spending power to gobble up assets all over the world, from Indonesia to Africa and all points in between. (PTR?)

    "Easy Double" #4: Collect your share of the cash explosion in China

    Generally speaking, the Chinese love gambling and games of chance, which is why Macau is in such an interesting position – literally. More than 3 billion Asians live within a five-hour flight radius. Unlike most casinos in Macau that have ties to western (MELCO?)

    "Easy Double" #5: The lucrative language company...

    Consider this: There are more English-language students in China than in the U.S. And no wonder. Skilled Chinese workers with even a basic command of English make 25% more money than their counterparts who can't speak English. And that bodes extremely well for this company, which is not only assuming the de facto leadership in conversational English instruction, but state level testing, too. (EDU?)

    Again today

    more spam on this one



    Dear Money Morning Reader,

    The conventional wisdom says, "No one can predict the market."

    But over the past four months, Keith Fitz-Gerald has proven he can predict stock prices with stunning accuracy.

    And now, Keith's written a report that explains how he does it.

    Turns out, conventional analysis misses about 85% of all price moves-treats them as meaningless "noise."

    Keith spent over 10 years developing a program that makes sense of this "noise" and uses it to make extremely highly probability trades.

    If you want to profit from this program, click here for full details...

    Sincerely,

    Mike Ward
    Publisher, Money Map Report
    P.S. What proves Keith's program works? Since launch, he's racked up a PERFECT RECORD of all gains and no losses. Unheard of. In fact, he just announced another winner, bringing his total to 14 picks and 14 wins!
