Stock Market Surprise

Dear Newsmax Reader:

Please find below a special message from our sponsor, Adam Mesh.
He has important information to share with you. Thank you.

Newsmax.com

No More "Talking" About it . . .
The Time For Action Has Arrived!

I Will Not Allow You to Miss One of the Biggest Cash Grabs of a Lifetime!

In fact, I want to send you a 100% FREE Report Revealing How to Bank $24,538 or $19,743 in a Single Day While You Leave Wall Street Begging for Mercy . . .

Dear Newsmax Reader,

I just threw out two admittedly lofty numbers above. I'm guessing that immediately made you a bit skeptical.

A completely understandable sentiment, but I assure you that I'm not pulling your leg.

Those are two absolutely real, one-day paychecks I have collected by implementing my custom stock market action plan. To be honest, I've made 6-figures in a single day from it, but if I plastered that type of success up above, you probably wouldn't have made it even this far in this letter.

Let me be completely straightforward with you . . . realistically it would take you a couple of years to build up to the 6-figure-in-a-day level of success I achieve using what I have to show you for FREE today.

But would you be happy making an extra $300 . . . $1,500 . . . maybe even $5,000 a day? And when the market strikes just the right way, serious money like $24,538 or $19,743 over a 24-hour period.

I'm not a big talker. I deal with reality. And today I want to give you the reality of financial independence.

In fact, to prove it, I want to send you a report describing this almost ridiculous opportunity right now . . . claim your copy here!

But, before we go any further, I have a couple quick questions for you . . .

If I told you that using a very simple stock strategy, you could make the figures stated above ($24,538 or $19,743 in one day) safely . . . would you allow me a few minutes of your time?

And what if I told you that you could learn about this "trick" for free . . . Wouldn't that be an even better proposition?

Obviously . . .

Before I go on, I want to warn you upfront, what I'm about to reveal to you will mean you have to reclaim money from the very same people who robbed Americans of trillions of dollars when the market went down the drain over the last couple of years.

I don't want you to hand out any tissues . . . No need to shed any tears. This is no pity party you are throwing for Wall Street. The days of those so-called "insiders" making millions off the destruction of your wealth is over. It's time to turn the tables and exact your revenge . . . while you rake in a boatload of cash too, of course!

Today, I want to show you how to use a simple and low risk technique for manipulating the markets for your own personal gain! And because you are a loyal Newsmax reader, I'm going to reveal it to you at no cost! Grab your copy of this insanely valuable report here!

My name is Adam Mesh I'm a self-made market millionaire. I didn't get rich from swindling investors . . . I didn't make my fortune by ruining a company and then asking for a 7-figure bonus check . . . and I'm certainly no trust fund baby. I made my money the exact same way you did . . . with hard work and perseverance.

But instead of beating my own drum today, I'm here to deliver you the keys to a massive financial windfall.

It Was Like an Awakening!

It was the day I realized that my "method" for dominating the stock markets was easily transferable to any investor - from "green" beginner to Wall Street pro.

I remember the day as if it was yesterday. In reality it was a few years ago.

But first, a little back-story . . .

In my career, I excelled at playing the markets right below the radar, trying to stay unknown to everyone but a small circle of investors. But even with my "stealth" efforts, I had made a bit of a name for myself on Wall Street. I started to draw attention to myself because I had a habit of consistently beating down so-called "stock market wizards" . . . and making my inner circle of clients a serious windfall of money along the way.

Regardless of how low you try to keep your profile, that kind of success generally causes the eyebrows of the most powerful investors (the ones with the influence) to rise.

How can this "outsider" keep beating the "insiders" to the punch?

Was the general sentiment, "How did an "Average Joe" learn the closely guarded secrets to banking one big profit play after another?"

(Hint: Today you are going to find out! You can get a jumpstart here . . . )

Word of my financial exploits spread so fast that Fortune Magazine caught wind and issued a challenge to me. And that brought me to that fateful day.

Fortune Magazine wanted to see me live and in action. To see if I could live up to the hype. So they shadowed my every move, literally watching over my shoulder as I cashed a $19,743 payout in one day using an incredibly simple and efficient strategy I've crafted over the years. And today I'm going to give you the opportunity to put me and my unique methodology into action for you. I have one single goal of recharging your investment portfolio and life savings. But I'm not going to try to persuade you. You need to make this decision for yourself and the future of your wealth.

If you'd like to read a 100% FREE report revealing how in 5 minutes you can implement the exact same strategy I used to SAFELY bank $19,743 in one day . . . go here!

Obviously I'm not much of a secret anymore. If you are a close follower of the markets, chances are you've seen me on CNBC's "Squawk Box," CNN, The Today Show, Trader Magazine or any of my numerous public appearances.

But what I have to reveal in the report you are one click from receiving is something I've shown to only a select few. It's basically a step-by-step manual for every penny I've ever made trading.

And because of my close relationship with Newsmax, I've agreed to give it to you for free.

Take a few seconds to get this copy sent to you right now . . . it could very well be your ticket to the greatest payout of your life.

To Your Success,

Adam Mesh

P.S. - After you download your copy of the report, I ask that you not forward it to anyone. The last thing we want is everybody learning this wealth-building secret. Once the cat is out of the bag, so to speak . . . a lot of your profit opportunity will be gone. So hurry and get your copy now!

1. Bill Clinton to Rep. Ryan: Give Me a Call

Former President Bill Clinton offered a helping hand to Republican Rep. Paul Ryan a day after a GOP election loss that Democrats are attributing to opposition to Ryan's Medicare reform plan.

The Democratic candidate prevailed in Tuesday's special election in New York to fill a House seat in a solidly Republican district.

On Wednesday, Clinton met up with Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, backstage at a forum on the national debt held by the New York-based Peter G. Peterson Foundation, ABC News reported.

"I told them before you got here, I said I'm glad we won this race in New York," Clinton told Ryan.

But he added, "I hope Democrats don't use this as an excuse to do nothing."

Ryan responded, "My guess is it's going to sink into paralysis. I mean, we knew we were putting ourselves out there. You gotta start this. You gotta get this thing moving."

Clinton told Ryan that if he wants to talk about Medicare reform and deficit reduction, "Give me a call." Ryan said he would.

In his speech at the forum, Clinton said the Democratic victory in New York "was about Medicare," referring to Ryan's proposal, passed by the House this year, to transform Medicare for those under age 55.

"You shouldn't draw the conclusion that the New York race means that nobody can do anything to solve the Medicare crisis. I just don't agree with that. I think you should draw the conclusion that the people made a judgment that this proposal is not the right one.

"I agree with that, but I'm afraid that the Democrats will draw the conclusion that because Congressman Ryan's proposal, I think, is not the best one, that we shouldn't do anything and I completely disagree with that."

Ryan told ABC News, "The Democrats are going to run these attack ads at us regardless."

Also on Wednesday, Ryan appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" and called Democrats' attempts to "distort" his plan "Mediscare."

2. Trump Denies New Claim on Obama's Birth Certificate

When President Barack Obama finally released his birth certificate a month ago, Donald Trump's computer expert told his employer it was not legitimate, according to an author who has written a book on the birth certificate issue.

The claim comes from Jerome Corsi, author of "Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Obama Is Not Eligible to Be President."

Corsi said that during a phone call last week, the billionaire said his own computer expert assessed the certificate following the April 27 release and found it to be a computer-generated artifact.

But Trump dismissed the assertion in a press statement.

"I am proud of the fact that I was able to get President Obama to release his birth certificate," Trump said.

"President Clinton couldn't do it, Senator McCain couldn't do it — no one else could do it! Frankly, many people were surprised that it took so long for this to happen. Is his birth certificate legitimate? I hope it is for the good of the country, but that's for experts to determine — not me.

"I have not read the book written by Jerry Corsi nor did we discuss whether or not the birth certificate was computer-generated or in any way fabricated. I merely asked him how his book was doing and wished him good luck."

3. Lawsuit Aims to End Tax-Funded Political Campaigns

The Supreme Court is expected to hand down a ruling that could have a serious impact on the states' ability to use taxpayer funds to support political campaigns.

In 1998, Arizona voters approved the Clean Elections Act in an effort to fight political corruption. With the measure, candidates who choose to participate and collect a specific number of donations are eligible to receive public funds.

If they are outspent by opponents who choose not to participate, the participating candidates receive matching funds — taxpayer money to equalize spending by the candidates.

The Goldwater Institute filed a legal challenge to the bill in August 2008. It maintains that in effect, the state government is using public money to dilute the political speech of one group and promote the political speech of another.

The Center for Competitive Politics (CCP) filed a brief supporting the lawsuit. The CCP asserts in its newsletter that offering "matching funds" for political opponents "creates a state intrusion into the political process that chills the speech of citizen-funded campaigns and independent groups."

The CCP points to abuses spurred by the matching funds provision, including tax-funded candidates running "fake campaigns" and spending their allotments on alcohol and parties.

A federal judge struck down the matching funds provision in January 2010, but the U.S. Court of Appeals reversed that decision in April 2010, sending it to the Supreme Court.

The high court struck down a similar provision in 2008, leading observers to believe it will strike down the Arizona provision as well.

"The Justices of the Supreme Court appeared to be appropriately skeptical of the argument that the state can decide to give funding advantages to favored candidates who participate in the 'clean elections' program but not others," said CCP President Sean Parnell.

The court heard oral arguments in the case, McComish v. Bennett, on March 28.

The CCP reports: "It is very likely that Arizona's matching funds trigger will be struck down as unconstitutional. This decision may not only strike a blow to those who attempt to limit political speech in Arizona, but also to states around the country with similar unconstitutional programs."

4. Ahmadinejad: Europe Is Stealing Iran's Rain

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad charged that European countries are using high-tech equipment to deprive his drought-plagued nation of much-needed rain.

"Western countries have designed plans to cause drought in certain areas of the world, including Iran," Ahmadinejad said in a recent speech inaugurating a dam in the city of Arak.

"According to reports on climate, whose accuracy has been verified, European countries are using special equipment to force clouds to dump" their rain on Europe.

Ahmadinejad also referred to an article by an unnamed "Western politician" that he said predicted "droughts in some regions spanning from Turkey and Iran to east of Asia" for the next 30 years, The Telegraph reported.

Those regions "include countries whose culture and civilization frighten the West," he added.

Moments after Ahmadinejad spoke, it began to rain.

The Telegraph noted, "Iranian leaders claim on a daily basis that Western countries, led by arch-foe United States, devise 'plots' to undermine the Islamic Republic and to impede its economic and scientific development."

5. Electoral College Under Attack in California

The California Assembly has passed a bill that would award all the state's Electoral College votes in a presidential election to the candidate who wins the popular vote nationwide rather than to the state's popular-vote winner.

The idea is to avoid elections in which the popular-vote winner loses the race because the rival candidate has more electoral votes, as occurred in 2000 when Al Gore won the popular vote but lost to George W. Bush.

The bill "will help to put California on a more balanced playing field with other states, so that we can attract national attention to issues that are unique to our state," state Sen. Mimi Walters told California's Capitol Weekly.

"California is too large and our issues are too important to be ignored at the expense of those in battleground states."

Presidential candidates regard California as a solidly blue state, with support for the Democratic candidate a foregone conclusion, and therefore curtail their campaigning there. The bill would make California's contribution to the overall popular vote significant in the national outcome.

A number of other states have joined a compact to authorize the change. The measure needs a total of 270 electoral votes by all the states to become law. Thus far, states with a total of 77 electoral votes have decided to join the compact, and many states are waiting for the outcome in California, with its 55 electoral votes.

The California bill now faces the state Senate. According to Capitol Weekly, California Gov. Jerry Brown has not taken a position on the measure.

6. Venezuela Oil Chief Tells U.S.: 'Go to Hell'

The head of Venezuela's state oil company said the United States can "go to hell" after it imposed economic sanctions on the firm for its ties to Iran.

"The imperialists can go to hell. Their sanctions mean nothing to us," Rafael Ramirez, head of Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) and the country's energy and petroleum minister, said Wednesday.

"No one is going to impose this kind of action against us. We do what best serves the people of Venezuela and what best serves the interests of the Venezuelan state."

The United States this past week imposed sanctions on PDVSA and six other companies it accused of supplying gasoline and petroleum products to Iran, AFP reported.

By applying pressure on Iran's energy sector, the United States hopes to slow its nuclear enrichment program, allegedly aimed at developing nuclear weapons.

Venezuela had earlier expressed its "utmost rejection" of the "hostile" American sanctions.

Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro said he would determine the "appropriate reprisal" to the American move.

Venezuela exports about 1 million barrels of oil a day to the United States.

The One Decision That Makes You Really Rich

7. We Heard…

THAT California's attorney general will reportedly launch a criminal inquiry into allegations that Arnold Schwarzenegger misused taxpayer funds to hide clandestine liaisons with women during his tenure as governor.

According to RadarOnline, a veteran hotel security officer claims he witnessed Schwarzenegger using California Highway Patrol officers and vehicles to sneak scantily-clad women in and out of his suite at the Sacramento Hyatt Regency.

The former governor also faces troubles on the financial front. Schwarzenegger and his wife Maria Shriver appear headed for divorce following revelations that Arnold fathered a child with his housekeeper, and the New York Post reported that Shriver "could walk away with way more than the $100 million slice of Tiger Woods' fortune that the golf great's ex-wife Elin Nordegren took home in their split last year."

THAT New York officials are proposing a new addition to the state's high school curriculum: lessons on how to properly dispose of an unwanted baby.

The officials want students to be taught in public schools about "safe haven laws" — parents do not face charges if they bring a newborn to a hospital, police station or fire station.

Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes, State Sen. Eric Adams and State Assemblyman Hakim Jeffries are proposing the legislation requiring the change to the public high school health curriculum, NBC News reported.

The move comes after two young mothers recently abandoned newborns in New York City. One was tossed eight floors down a Brooklyn housing project trash chute, but survived. The other was found in the trash at a Queens hospital and did not survive.

Both mothers have been arrested.

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dr. Eggman writes "Stanford's School of Medicine brings us an update in
the latest achievements towards in-vitro neuron generation via
redifferentiation of specialized cells (skin cells in this case.) This
important progress follows on last year's success in inducing this change
with mice skin cells. The importance of this line of research lies in
that the process [0]does not need to first de-differentiate the skin
cells into a kind of stem cells known as induced pluripotent stem cells.
By skipping this phase, the process avoids potential problems in the
body's rejection of the iPS cells. Amazingly, the transformation occurs
with the added presence of 4 proteins (one more protein than need to
induce the effect in mice) over several weeks (compared to a few days in
mice.) Research continues as the study highlights the significant
differences in mice and human neural cells as well as the success rate of
transformation (2-4% for human cells, 20% for mice.) The resultant cells
aren't yet as capable as naturally derived neurons; generating
less-robust electrical signals."

cpu6502 writes "The new Nintendo 3DS game Dead or Alive: Dimensions is
[0]being pulled from EU member states Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. The
distributor said an in-game photography mode allows players to look-up
the dresses of 17-year-old Ayane, Koroke, and Kasumi �� which could be
considered 'child porn' by local police."

theodp writes "If you could change the way wireless companies did things,
what would you do?' [0]asked Sprint CEO Dan Hesse. How about stopping the
use of Sprint's firmware updates to download [1]apps that aren't wanted
and can't be removed, Dan? Sprint confirmed to CNET's Elinor Mills that
those strange apps she was shocked to find on her Android phone ��
[2]sci-fi shooter N.O.V.A. and Blockbuster �� with a long list of
permissions that couldn't be uninstalled had been sneakily downloaded
onto her phone during a firmware update. 'Sprint does offer a variety of
partner applications that are optimized for use on our wireless phones,'
a Sprint representative explained in an e-mail. 'From time to time, we
will provide new apps to our customers in conjunction with a software
maintenance release. Also, Sprint, in conjunction with Google, is taking
steps to develop a technical solution that would allow customers to
remove any unwanted applications that have been preloaded or pushed in an
over-the-air software update.'" Asking first would be a nice
non-technical solution.

A few days ago, the KDE project shipped the [0]first beta of the upcoming

looks like, snipping from which: "Previously it was Gnome that was the
steady plodder making minor incremental changes through the 2.x series,
building stability and only adding minor features. However, with the
recent releases of both Gnome Shell and the Unity desktop on Ubuntu, the
Gnome/Ubuntu side of the desktop linux equation has made radical and
controversial steps away from the well loved Gnome 2.x series, leaving
KDE 4.x as the 'steady as she goes' option."

[0]MarkWhittington writes "Scientists, working on a NASA grant, have made
another startling discovery concerning water on the Moon. It seems that
the interior of the Moon has [1]far more water in it than previously
thought �� as much as the Earth does, apparently. Researchers made this
discovery by examining samples of volcanic glass brought back to Earth by
the Apollo 17 astronauts. These tiny beads of glass have about 750 parts
per million of water in them: about the same amount as similar volcanic
glass on Earth. It is postulated that more water than previously imagined
exists deep below the lunar surface and was brought up and trapped in
these crystalline beads by volcanic action billions of years ago."

[0]Hugh Pickens writes writes "Medical groups from the American Medical
Association to the American Society of Microbiology have appealed to the
government and industry for years to restrict the practice of providing
[1]sub-therapeutic doses of antibiotics for livestock, lest critical
antibiotics become [2]useless for human treatments. Now Tom Laskawy
reports that a coalition of environmental groups has decided to sue the
Federal Drug Administration to follow its own safety findings and
[3]withdraw approval for most non-therapeutic uses of penicillin and
tetracyclines in animal feed to healthy livestock when it's not medically
necessary. 'While this may cause eyerolls among some who look at this as
"just another lawsuit," there's something very important going on with
the courts and contested science right now,' writes Laskawy. 'As it
happens, one of the main roles of a judge is as "finder of fact." In
practice, this means that judges determine whether scientific evidence is
compelling enough to force government action."'"

‘Sugar Shocker Shakes Medical World’

Dear Newsmax Reader:

Please find below a special message from our sponsoring advertiser, Nutrition and Healing. They have important information to share with you. Thank you.

Newsmax.com

Dear Reader,

For the next 24 hours only, a shocking underground video is being made available to you.

(Although not offensive, it contains adult-oriented material and we suggest viewers be at least 21 years of age.)

For the first time, we're exposing the "forbidden" food that could be the biggest health breakthrough of our time.

Your whole life, you've been warned that this substance can wreak havoc on your health.

But the bad rap could be for nothing. Because research proves this shunned food:

"washes away" stubborn bladder infections (often in less than 48 hours)
decreases tooth decay by 80%--without having to drop any of your favorite foods
reduces blood clots without the dangerous side effects of aspirin
cuts sinus and ear infections by 93%--you can actually feel it working in minutes. One pioneering Texas doctor says the results are so dramatic, his patients forget to keep using it!

And you should see how it helps you drop weight!

How can one food--especially one we're told to stay away from--do so much?

More importantly--what is it? And how can you get your hands on it?

You'll get all the answers here. And for 24 hours only, it's free to you. So, for your health, watch it here now.

--Matthew Simons
Publisher, Nutrition & Healing

P.S. While this substance is completely natural and safe, it threatens to wreak havoc on Big Pharma's fat coffers. So, while you still can, I encourage you watch this explosive video here.
