Exactly five years ago, VectorVest announced the creation of VectorVest Elite, as a new class of subscribers. Now we are announcing a series of new and improved benefits. The purpose of this move is to better thank and reward eligible subscribers for their continued loyalty and support.

As of today, VectorVest Elite benefits include:

Subscription Savings. All VectorVest Elite members may renew their annual subscription for only $495.00 per year. This price reflects a savings of $150.00 per year off of our regular subscription prices.

Subscription Addition. All VectorVest Elite members may select access to an additional VectorVest subscription-based product, such as, VectorVest Canada, VectorVest UK, VectorVest Europe or VectorVest Australia at no additional cost. This represents a savings of $240.00 per year.

Special Pricing for Events. All VectorVest Elite members may attend any fee-based VectorVest event at one-half the regular price. They may also bring guests, who are not VectorVest subscribers, at the same low Elite price.

Special Pricing for Products. All VectorVest Elite members may purchase products, such as VectorVest ProTrader, the AutoTester, the Options Analyzer, the Simulator and the Variator, at our Special Event Prices. Savings on these items range from $100.00 to $500.00 per item.

Special Pricing on Training. Any VectorVest Elite member may sign up for One-on-One training at the reduced rate of $47.50 per hour.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS.
Anyone who has subscribed to VectorVest for five years or more or who has accumulated more than $3,500.00 in purchases of any combination of VectorVest products and services is automatically enrolled as a member of VectorVest Elite.

IDENTIFICATION CARDS.
ID cards will be mailed to all VectorVest Elite members within a few weeks. In the mean time, please take advantage of the improved benefits of VectorVest Elite.

BARGAIN PRICES AHEAD.
Experienced VectorVest users know that the Buy/Sell Ratio, BSR, must go below 0.20 before we start thinking about a bottom. Well, it went down only to 0.38 in the February/March whipsaw, and I wrote an essay on March 23, 2007 called, "Unfinished Business." In that essay I said that, "I still would like to see a slam, bang, bone-crushing sell-off to provide the bargain prices we need for a long rally." Well, it now looks like we're getting the sell-off I was looking for.

Last Friday, the BSR closed at 0.20 and the bargain hunters prematurely rushed in to buy stocks early this week. But today's conference call from Bear Stearns CFO, Mr. Sam Molinaro, put the bond market turmoil in perspective and stock prices tumbled. (See his comments in our Valuation Section.) So the BSR has now gone down to 0.19 and may very well go lower. Hopefully, you are safely watching the carnage from the sidelines or taking advantage of the downturn. In either case, be patient, there are Bargain Prices Ahead.

THE $25,000,000 MAN.
A beautiful, middle-age woman visited our booth at the San Francisco Money Show last week. She attentively listened to my presentation and asked a number of good questions. A while later she went to our order desk and a few minutes later, our associate, Albert Lewis, began shouting about someone making $25,000,000 using VectorVest. I asked him if the lady he was working with would like to tell me about it.

She came to me and said her father turned $365,000 into $25,000,000 before he passed away nine years ago! He was a VectorVest subscriber before we had electronic delivery when we published a "Little Blue Book" called the VectorVest Stock Advisory. She said he loved that little book and thought I walked on water. I asked if she would repeat that to the audience in our booth, and she did with a beautiful smile.

I can't remember meeting her father, but I knew him through the mail. Back in those days we provided a special service to customers of sending them a WatchList of their stocks each week with their "Little Blue Book." On many occasions he would include laudatory letters or notes to us with the WatchLists he would mail back for updates and revisions. He made us feel good about our work.

Over the years, I have met several customers who have done very well with VectorVest, but no one who claimed to have made $25,000,000. One of the top rated money managers in the country uses VectorVest and he lives right here in Akron, Ohio.

When I think of it now, I begin to realize how complicated we have made investing look nowadays. Back then, all we had was the "Little Blue Book," which was published every Friday, and a WatchList. And we made money! Nowadays we practically have to follow every tick of every trade and micromanage our portfolios to the point that they look like mincemeat. The money manager mentioned above looks at his stocks only once a week. So keep it simple. Become more like The $25,000,000 Man.
