TARGET MASSIVE PROFITS IN THE COMMODITY SUPERCYCLE

With The Secret Order of Jurojin

The global markets are undergoing stresses unlike any seen before in our lifetimes, as...

China makes the transition from low-rent back-room factory of the world to economic super-power ... and its 1.3 billion people shake off communist group-think to embrace go-go capitalism. Along the way, their consumption of energy and materials especially metals including copper and gold, is soaring!
India uses its high-tech expertise to propel its billion citizens into the vanguard of the 21st Century ... adding to the already unprecedented global demand for oil, steel, aluminum, copper and other commodities than ever before.
Global warming lays waste to entire agricultural regions ... sending the price of grains sky-high.
A worsening global energy crisis lights a fire under oil prices ... and drives the cost of alternative fuel sources like sugar (used for ethanol) through the roof!
The world's financial system from Tokyo to Manhattan buckles and strains under stresses that threaten to send the US dollar on a rollercoaster against other currencies ... and US Treasuries are going along for the ride!

A select group of futures traders has been playing this wild market for all it's worth. When this group buys or sells futures and futures options, other in-the-know traders do likewise, no questions asked. And this group is called The Secret Order of Jurojin.

Jurojin is a very intense trading service. It's not right for the risk-adverse or cash-poor — you need big brass ones to ride a market that can be fast and furious. But those who are up to the challenge can learn knowledge beyond their wildest imagination. Jurojin offers five trades in different sectors of the commodities markets each week. Individual traders can pick and choose one, none or all of the trades depending on their trading goals.

If you are not up for the challenge, that's okay. Knowing your limits is a good thing. However, if, as we suspect, you can stomach a bit more risk — and you have enough freed-up money to play the futures markets, maybe gradually at first but ready to take that first step and move to the next ring of knowledge ... you may be ready for the Secret Order of Jurojin.

And you may be wondering...

How is Jurojin going to help me profit from the volatile commodity markets?
What is the Secret Order of Jurojin?
Who is this Jurojin character?
How can I be considered for membership in the Secret Order?

Let's start from the top...

The Global Economy Is a High-Powered Machine...And It's Fueled by Commodities!

Any pullback in commodity prices brings all the worrywarts out of the woodwork. They wring their hands on CNBC and tell us how the global economy was headed into a ditch, driven to disaster by a Fed that kept hiking interest rates.

What a load of baloney!

The fact is, estimates for global growth keep climbing. The latest edition of the International Monetary Fund's World Economic Outlook raised its growth estimate for 2006. That estimate was 4.9% versus a forecast of 4.3% in December. The IMF also raised its forecast for 2007 growth to 4.7% from 4.4%.

If the IMF's expectations for 2006 turn out right, this will be the fourth year in a row that the global economy has expanded faster than 4%. That hasn't happened since the 1970s!

And this backs up a conclusion Jurojin reached a long time ago: We are in the early stages of a raging commodity bull market which should last AT LEAST another decade. And we may be in a rare commodity supercyle — only the third one in the last 150 years.

What is a supercycle? That's when commodity prices go further and faster than most people can dream. We've seen them before when Japan rebuilt after World War II, and when America industrialized at the turn of the century ... developments that are not all that different from what India and China are doing today.

The view that we might be in a commodity supercyle is a lonely one. Most of Wall Street is lining up on the other side. They're smart guys, and we respect them, but we believe that the models they've relied on for years are broken.

Sure, we'll see corrections along the way. No market goes up in a straight line. And as hot as commodity prices have been running, when the downside cycle comes, it can be painful AND quick.

That's why you don't want a commodity trading service that is blindly bullish. You want to be able to switch sides in a heartbeat and trade those pullbacks in commodities for potential gains, as well as ride the long-term bull.

Now let's talk about the drivers of that long-term rally ... starting with China.

China: The Hungry Dragon That Can't Slow Down

China's leaders in Beijing complain that their economy is growing too fast. They're aiming for 8% growth, but China's gross domestic product is growing at over 10%! But the changes they make to "cool" the economy off are ineffectual at best. They don't want to take the harsh medicine needed to slow an economy driven by 1.3 billion consumers, 1.3 billion capitalists finally freed (economically, anyway) after decades of socialist shackles.

And the latest statistics show that if China's economy was already red-hot, it's now cranking up to a fever pitch!

INVESTMENT IS SOARING: Investment in fixed assets (factories, power plants, etc.) jumped 30.3% to $318 billion in the first five months of 2006 from the same period a year earlier. That's accelerating from the already smoking 29.6% growth in the first four months.

That is $318 billion pouring into electrical grids, steel plants and roads — requiring copper, iron, zinc, aluminum, cement and oil (for asphalt).

OIL USE ACCELERATING: China's oil, natural gas and copper use should accelerate. Reason: China is predicted to have an "unusually hot" summer. That means people will buy more air conditioners, municipalities will rush to repair, expand or build new power grids.

Other forces could shift China's oil demand into overdrive. Industrial output is running at 17.9%, the biggest gain in two years. And China's auto industry reported a record 1.73 million vehicles sold in the first quarter of this year, a rise of 36.9% over the same period in 2005. No wonder China's oil imports jumped by over 25% in the January-March quarter.

More cars also means more demand for iron, copper and aluminum, too. The commodity juggernaut keeps rolling.

RETAIL SALES ARE RED-HOT: Retail sales rose at 14.2% in May, the fastest pace in 17 months. And consumer prices rose 1.4% — the most in four months. That's a sure sign that China's efforts to stimulate its domestic consumer consumption are bearing fruit.

BUILDING BOOM: Investment in real estate development rose 21.8% in the first five months of the year. It's significant because A) real estate development accounts for a quarter of all investment in China and B) Wall Street's so-called experts have been trying to stick a fork in the China real estate boom for well over a year.

BANKING BOOM: Bank lending nearly doubled in May from a year earlier. Money supply expanded at a 19.1% pace. That's HUGE. But the government is only making-half-hearted measures to slow it down ... the financial equivalent of "round up the usual suspects."

The Central Bank says it will curb the money supply, telling local governments and banks to limit lending. The central bank raised the required reserve ratio for commercial lenders by half a percentage point. But these aren't real solutions — a real solution would be to yank interest rates much higher or allow the yuan to appreciate sharply against the U.S. dollar.

Until and unless Beijing takes real action, its 1.3 billion capitalists will have access to plenty of money. And Beijing's remedies haven't affected commodity prices one bit, which is the real indicator of how effective the market thinks Beijing will be at cooling off this rip-roaring economy.

China Is Hooked on Metal Like a Junkie on Crack!

Just to show you that China can't say "NO" to economic growth, look at what happened when China tried to play hardball with the price of iron.

China's steel mills buy 44% of all iron ore that is traded internationally. Last year, they agreed to pay 71.5% more for iron ore. This year, they vowed to negotiate a lower price with companies including BHP and Rio Tinto. China's biggest producer, Baosteel, represented the industry at the negotiations. The negotiations dragged on for weeks ... then months.

Finally, Baosteel and China agreed to a 19% price hike, bringing them in line with what the Europeans and Koreans have already agreed to. China could have negotiated a lower price if it was willing to accept lower economic growth. But it's hooked on that growth ... and metal ... like a junkie is hooked on crack cocaine!

Zou Jian, chairman of the Metallurgical Mines Enterprise Association of China, was so embarrassed he vowed to wreak "revenge" on the miners. His plan, leaked to reporters, is to buy up ownership of suppliers. What do you think that will do for the price of strategic metals like iron, copper and zinc? Up, up and away!

CHINA AND GOLD: China's own economic advisors are saying the best thing China could do with its foreign-currency reserves — the largest in the world — is buy gold. That would be HUGE for both gold and the U.S. dollar.

China has about $819 billion in foreign currency reserves — doubling in the past two years. More than two-thirds of that cash is in U.S. Treasuries.
China has 1% of its reserves in gold. Compare that to the 70% of reserves the U.S. keeps in gold.
The U.S. trade deficit with China reached $201.6 billion in 2005 — a very sore point in Washington D.C. One way to help ease that deficit is to have China's yuan appreciate versus the U.S. dollar. And an easy way to do that would be to use those huge amounts of U.S. Treasuries in China's reserves to buy gold.

Let's say China just puts a THIRD of its $819 billion in foreign reserves into gold (still low compared to the US, which has 70% of its reserves in gold). What do you think $237 billion pouring into precious metals would do to the price of gold? Send it through the roof, that's what!

Not only would that send gold skyward, but it would weigh on the value of the U.S. dollar like an anvil. The more the dollar goes down, the higher gold goes up. And that's one good reason — of many — to be so bullish on gold.

In fact, the China story is very bullish for gold, copper ... resources of all kinds. But while China gets most of the attention, another regional powerhouse is stepping to the fore ...

Could the Indian Elephant Outpace China's Dragon?

It's hard to overlook an elephant, but that's what many investors do when they get fixated on China and ignore India. India's economy grew at 9.3% in the most recent quarter — the fastest pace in two years. That boosted India's growth for the financial year to 8.4%.

Unlike China, India doesn't need to import iron — it's a big iron exporter (much of it to China). But it has to import a lot of everything else — copper, zinc, oil and natural gas, just to give you some examples. And it will need plenty of those to build new complexes for telecom-related industries. Last year, 229,000 new jobs were created at computer companies in India.

But that's not the only area of growth. Farm output is booming, too, growing 5.5%, nearly double the 2.9% gain in the previous quarter. Trade, hotels, transport and communication expanded 12.9%. Finance and insurance services expanded 10.5%.

With all this growth going on, the Bank of India has increased its benchmark rate by a full percentage point over the last year, but the economy is just shrugging it off like an elephant shrugs off a fly.

Household income in India is growing at a double-digit pace. A lot of disposable income means people buy cars. For all of last year, car sales grew 7.55%. In April, auto sales grew by 15% to 74,536 passenger cars, according to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers.

You think that's impressive? Over the next two years, 24 MILLION Indian households are expected to become capable of purchasing a car. Again, that's going to drive demand for oil, aluminum and more through the roof.

And there's ANOTHER major player in Asia ... a sleeping giant that many have written off for dead.

Japan — the Banzai is Back!

After three brutal recessions since 1990, Japan has surprised many (including many Japanese) by getting back on the economic growth track. Japan is headed toward its longest expansion since World War II ended. The economy grew 3% on an annual basis, the fastest pace in 15 years. Japan's central bank expects the economy will expand 2.4% this fiscal year and 2% next year. Companies are cutting debts and investing profits in new plants and equipment.

Deflation, which dogged the Japanese economy for seven long years, is now over. Core consumer prices are rising. As a result, the central bank is now preparing to raise interest rates from near zero percent by more than 50 basis points over the next year.

You know what inflation means — pricing power for producers, and fatter profits for suppliers. Per capita, Japan has the richest consumers in the industrialized world. After years of deflation and stagnation, they could be ready to open their pocketbooks and ramp up purchases. And that should increase Japan's need for all kinds of metals and other raw materials.

These 3 Asian Success Stories Are Just The Tip of the Iceberg

Across the entire Asia Pacific region, economic growth hit 5.8% in 2005 and should do the same or better in 2006. The regional economy has become a self-feeding mechanism where huge demand for commodities in China spurs development in Vietnam and Malaysia which increases orders for machinery in Korea, and so on.

Europe is growing too, and here at home, despite the worst predictions of professional worrywarts, the US economy is growing at over 5%!

And now the Fed seems to be easing off in its battle against interest rates. This has tremendous implications for the U.S dollar and Treasuries, and it also should have a huge impact on commodities. Friendly inflation is just the juice needed to keep a commodities bull market running at a fever pitch!

This year is shaping up to be an extraordinarily volatile one for commodities ... and it also has the potential to be extraordinarily profitable. And that's where Jurojin comes in!

The Forbidden and Secret Order of Jurojin — Aggressive, Successful, and Private

Every week, Jurojin issues long or short positions in commodity, currency and index futures. Jurojin is focused on futures — five trades a week in commodities, indices, currencies and interest rates. When market conditions dictate, the recommendations might be futures options, and sometimes one sector gets more emphasis than another. And they don't force trades — if Jurojin only sees four good trades one week, for example, you'll only get four. The object is to get you the best trades possible.

Master Jurojin seems to have an uncanny ability to nail the support/resistance points. Or is it that Master Jurojin is creating those support/resistance points with the weight of his subscribers?

Keep up the good work! -- A.W.

Each play has two profit targets so you can decide what level of gains you want to take from each particular recommendation. There's also a firm protective stop in case the play goes against you. Risk management is a key part of Jurojin philosophy and all risk parameters and reward parameter are spelled out in a clear concise format.

There is no long 12-page theory of trading or philosophical ideas, trading period. What you get is both technical and fundamental analysis boiled down into an easy-to-read synopsis with solid charts to back it up.

Who Are the Traders Behind Jurojin?

Kevin Kerr, the editor of Resource Trader Alert and Global Resources Trader on Dow Jones Marketwatch, is a futures trader with decades of experience and an astonishing track record of success. In fact, he has the biggest short-term gains in the financial publishing world, no ifs, ands or buts. And he is a member of the Supreme Council of Jurojin — the only member of the Supreme Council to come forward. He did it only after intense consultation with the other members of the Supreme Council — people who guard their privacy very heavily.

Put simply, the Secret Order of Jurojin is an underground network of some of the world's most aggressive, successful and active futures traders in the world. As I said each member of the Supreme Council was hand picked for their trading abilities and risk management skills. Risk management is key that way, you decide to let the winners run and cut the losses short without worrying about them.

Thank you for the opportunity to trade along side you with all these recommendations. It was with a little skepticism that I first ordered. Well, today I humbly bow before you all and say............... YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAWWWWWWW!!!!

Dang, it was nice to take profits on the NG 860 call at 720. I only had one contract, but profits (b4 commission) of $4,400 was AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! In the words of my kids, you guys ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- K.W.

You tailor the service to fit you own personal risk tolerance and desired reward. You can look at it as an independent, closed-off hedge fund that you run yourself.

But why structure the futures service as a Secret Order? Good question.

The futures gurus who issue the weekly plays formed the Secret Order to protect their identities and privacy while still providing a small group of the world's most eager traders gainful futures recommendations.

But why is this secrecy necessary? Mainly because these guys don't want to be approached to manage money. They have no interest in that...they want to provide advice, insights and particular futures trades so that you can decide, on a personal level, what you'd like to do with any given recommendation.

That's why the Supreme Council Created a Secret Name System

Kevin's chosen name is J. Quest. For most members, anonymity is key. Kevin was the first member to be allowed to reveal his name. As a ranking member of the Supreme Council Kevin has voting rights for each trade and while he doesn't pick them all himself by any means he sees and votes on each one, just as the other senior members do.

Kevin wants to spread the fun and keep the Order secret. If you decide to accept your invitation to join the Secret Order, you can pick your own Secret Name, which you will use at Jurojin events.

So the Supreme Council of Jurojin, which is the highest form of membership in the Secret Order, has some of the top futures and options traders in the world. They meet together on a frequent basis. Mainly to discuss the markets so they can publish more outstanding futures and options plays.

You may have already heard whispers of this Secret Order ... and it's likely you'll hear a lot more about them and from them.

Who is This Jurojin Character, Anyway?

Jurojin is the Chinese spirit of luck, wisdom and longevity. He's a short old man with a long beard, a big smile and a staff. Usually he's accompanied by a deer — and he has a penchant for wine and women.

But why do we want to harness luck, wisdom and longevity in your futures trading? The need for wisdom's fairly obvious. You gotta be a pretty smart cookie to play the futures markets.

But why luck? Because wisdom, although powerful, can't always fully anticipate coming price movements in commodities, currencies or indexes. For example, extreme unanticipated weather could dismantle oil drilling and refineries, shooting crude sky-high.

An Asian government could suddenly dump their dollar holdings, sending the buck into a tailspin. Wisdom can't adequately anticipate these unforeseen events that affect the markets. That's why luck's important...especially combined with the analytic tools of wisdom.

And finally, longevity. This is one of the most important aspects of successful traders. Staying in the game for a long time is the only way to actually take advantage of the benefits of successful trading.

That sounds really simplistic and obvious. But you'd be surprised how many extremely talented — and at one time extremely wealthy traders — have dropped it all, going flat bust in the market.

So, even though you can turn Jurojin's futures and options plays into short term gains, of course you'll want to set your sights on the entire timespan of your market activity. That way, you and your family can actually reap the benefit from the gains you'd make.

Thanks for getting the word out on the Silver trade when you did! With the rather huge margin ($9000) for silver, I was vacillating about taking on a new long position. But it made sense for me, as I was already short some out-of-the-money silver calls, and was looking for a way to either exit or hedge the short calls. I was able to get filled at 12460 via the Access/overnight market; the position was up $650 in less than an hour, and is currently $2500 to the plus side. Good call! -- M.H.

We've seen that Jurojin's embodiment of luck, wisdom and longevity fits in with a good, aggressive, risk-controlled - and potentially super-profitable futures trading system.

A Tale Shrouded by the Mists of Time

As to why the Secret Order chose Jurojin as their guardian angel ... well, as another Supreme Council member, Black Bear says: "That's a story straight out of Indiana Jones ... and just a tad strange."

Jurojin got his start in Medieval China. In 1644, the Manchus invaded Northern China. They were very hostile, burning many temples, including those dedicated to Jurojin, and scattered the monks. Some fled to Japan. So, Jurojin is made-in-China and imported to Japan, as was a lot of knowledge at the time.

One Temple of Jurojin was located near, Sakata, which became the center of Japan's rice trade. And the open-minded monks studied the economics of the local markets. They thought of the markets as a complex living thing composed of the opposite efforts of buyers and sellers with their dreams and desires intertwined.

Here's where the Jurojin learning tradition bloomed into the powerful futures trading tool that Kevin and the rest of the Supreme Council employ today. The Supreme Council of Jurojin also sees the market as a complex battle between buyers and sellers.

Even today, when you buy, there's always some other trader selling on the other side of the same trade. The same goes for when you sell — there's always someone buying on the flipside. It's a zero-sum game.

18th-Century Sakata was also where a wealthy young rice farmer named Munehisa Homma found out how to accurately anticipate future price movements by drawing past price movements in little vertical lines that measured each day's open price, close price and total price range. These lines looked like candlesticks. And so modern candlestick charting was born. Homma made a fortune.

Certainly the monks of Jurojin found Homma's candlesticks worthy of study. But the wheel of history keeps turning. In the late 1800s, Shinto fanatics united the nation into a theocratic and nationalist fervor called the Meiji Restoration. While the Japanese rice market was left alone, the Meiji Restoration purged the Jurojin monks of Sakata and destroyed their temple. Their knowledge ... their market studies ... were lost in the mist of time. That is, until a visiting American scholar found and bought some of the old manuscripts.

The scholar self-published his translation and analysis, but again, they were forgotten ... until decades later, one of the members of the Supreme Council of Jurojin found a moth-eaten and dusty edition of that American professor's original translation in the musty bargain book bin of a used book store.

And so the Secret Order of Jurojin was born. Forbidden by two empires. Lost for half a century. Found by accident, and then almost lost again. And then rediscovered by the Supreme Council of Jurojin.

Amazing story. And now you know why Kevin's been so secretive about the Secret Order. But now, The Supreme Council and Kevin (a.k.a J. Quest) have decided to offer you a chance to join the Secret Order.

Now, You Can Become a Member of the Secret Order

In addition to the weekly recommendations in commodities currencies and indexes, you get a Daily Jurojin Commentary that runs down the major movements in the open plays and also the most important developments to the markets themselves. You'll also receive each new special report that Black Bear produces exclusively for Jurojin. These reports usually deliver analysis of a particular market sector, and may offer anything from low-risk investments to aggressive options plays.

And, one of the most exciting benefits of accepting your spot in the Secret Order of Jurojin is the private mock trading session on the floor of the New York Board of trade an NYMEX. Watching all of those traders push together and make urgent hand signals in the crowded, screaming pits...ah, it was fun. You will be in the center of the action and meet other members of Jurojin and the council all the time only acknowledged by your chosen Jurojin name if you choose to do so.

Then, after your mock trading session, you will listen to top commodity experts speak and share insight right in the heart of the financial district in New York. And then, to polish all of that off — a private Wine and Cheese party strictly for Secret Order members right in the sugar trading pit on the floor of the New York Board of Trade. This is as exclusive as it gets. Other VIP features being developed are made possible by members like Kevin and other Supreme Council members because of their connections on the inside and their passion for Jurojin.
