After an 8 year hiatus, Maedels, which published from 1987 to 2001, is back. This newsletter is known for introducing to its subscribers some of the mini-cap sectors more spectacular performing stocks. As before Maedels also performs corporate advisory services. Previous subscribers will recall some of Maedel’s most spectacular recommendations were in the resource sector: an area the editor has spent much of his career working in. The most spectacular examples include energy pick Ultra Petroleum which rose a mind boggling 40,000% and-gold explorer Arequipa Resources (subsequent rise 4,923%). Maedels assisted in raising money for numerous companies during the period and like his subscribers was an early investor in Arequipa and one of the original shareholders of Ultra. Mexoro Minerals is our latest resource stock bet. Mexoro has been added to the portfolio of his Bahamas based holding company Andean Invest Limited which has bought 1.55 million units for $310,000 of private placement totalling 12.5 million units. Each unit consisted of 1 share and one share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.30 for a period of 2 years.

In this issue we focus on what has gone hand in hand with every crisis in the past century: opportunity.

In 1931 Garet Garret published “The Bubble That Broke The World”, which chronicled the global private and public debt bubble which preceded the great crash and depression.
