Contra the Heard

Canada’s most consistently successful stock market advisory, The Investment Reporter has been steering a steady, profitable course for Canadian investors since 1941. Its proven approach to investing — judging a company on its merits, buying and holding undervalued stocks and building a portfolio for long-term gains — has been called “the only system of investing that really works.”

The leading expert on financial advisories, Hulbert Financial Digest, agrees. This independent measurement service has consistently named The Investment Reporter one of the top five advisories in the world for over 20 years!

According to Hulbert’s calculations, The Investment Reporter’s “Key Stocks” have consistently outperformed both the Toronto Stock Exchange and every major Canadian equity fund for those same two decades. Successful Canadian investors follow the profit-making advice and buy-sell recommendations of The Investment Reporter 52 weeks a year.

Here’s just a taste of what you get when you join them:

Every week you get in-depth reports on the economy and the stock market — and specific buy-sell advice on every stock we cover. Plus you get regular follow-ups so that you always know where you stand.

With The Investment Reporter you actually get two advisories to help you profit and manage your investments wisely. You get The Investment Reporter weekly and also, once each month you receive a bonus supplement, The Investment Planning Guide.

Every month we choose portfolios from an investment base we call “Key Stocks for Your Portfolio.” These key stocks have been under supervision by us for many years. You get clear advice on how to build a profitable portfolio of stocks.

PLUS you receive the special monthly feature “Best Buys of the Month”. These are special situations often overlooked by others. Their growth potential can be explosive. You should not miss our “Best Buys”.

Whether you are searching for income with highest safety or for total capital gains, our “Key Stocks” will help you return steady profits, year in and year out with greatest safety.

When you “try” The Investment Reporter you are up to date on the economy and the stock market. You get weekly reports on the Canadian stocks with the most profit potential, and regular follow-ups on those stocks. Best of all, our advice is independent. We have no outside interest to serve.
