Extreme Times Call for Extreme Measures

The welcome bear market rally that began on Tuesday could carry on for the next three to four weeks, or more. But that doesn't mean that it's safe for buy-and-hold investors to jump in and start buying hand-over-fist. Why? The market is almost positively headed lower in the months ahead. And that means investors need to adapt their strategies to cope with the difficult market conditions we're facing. Money can be made if you're willing to take a more "extreme" approach.

Check out my latest Rant to learn how to survive this bear market with your portfolio intact. And for those of you pinching pennies, today's Wine Find contains some great, inexpensive wines from around the world.

How to Double Your Money Every 14 Days

YES, you can. You can earn big profits, even in this climate. You can prosper despite government waste, larcenous bankers and economic ruin. And, YES, you can double your money every 14 days. Let me prove it to you.

The Way to Make Money in This Market

The tremendous wealth created by the bubble-induced bull markets of the past couple of decades has been destroyed in a relative flash. Worldwide, the destruction is at least $50 trillion (according to the Asian Development Bank), equivalent to a full year's global economic output.

If you're feeling less wealthy these days, the only comfort you can take is that you're not alone!

There are numerous ways to deal with the losses that range from grief to denial. But frankly, screw all the psychology and dogma -- it won't accomplish anything of value.

The trick is to face your fears, eliminate illusions and accept all the realities. Then you'll be in the right frame of mind to develop a good plan using sound judgment. You'll also be ready to act on the fact that profits can be generated under any circumstances.

The Most Effective Options Trading Strategy Known to Man

Wine Find: $10 Treasures

Here are three of my favorite Wine Finds submissions. They span the globe and, best of all, they won't break the bank. You can get them all for around $10 per bottle.

2007 Pampano Verdejo/Viura -- Rueda, Spain

"This is quite simply my summer 2009 wine. I plan to buy it by the case. It's the brightest, freshest, sassiest white wine out there under $10 right now. Citrusy and fresh, it's a party in a bottle."

2008 Indaba Chardonnay -- South Africa

"This unoaked Chardonnay is clean, fresh and bright, with great acidity. It's a refreshing contrast to some of the Chardonnays out there that are mired in oak. Flavor and fruit -- what a concept!"

2007 Cline Syrah -- Sonoma, Calif.

"When you drive up from San Francisco to wine country, one of the first places you may come across is Cline Cellars. This family-owned operation focuses on Zinfandel, Pinot Gris, Viognier and Mourvedre, but I've always loved their entry-level Syrah. Lush and juicy, new-world in style, but still with those great Syrah hallmarks of leather and spice. This is a true crowd-pleaser."
