Today, I’ll share with you the biggest mistake I made this year. I didn’t follow the “secret.” It’s a simple secret. And I should have known better.

More than 700% in less than three years… our readers have made quite a return… Shares of Seabridge Gold (SA) have soared 700% since I recommended it to subscribers of my Sjuggerud Confidential newsletter. That sounds pretty darn good… until you learn that we were up over 1,300% at their peak.

Right now, we have a rare opportunity. We can get paid a monthly double-digit dividend… We can buy in for only 85 cents on the dollar… And we can have the skills of a legendary investment manager behind us.

I love Barron’s “Big Money” poll. Most people read Barron’s looking for investment ideas. So twice a year, Barron’s gives readers what they think they want. The magazine conducts a poll of money managers, asking them about their favorite investments. I look forward to the Big Money poll… but for different reasons than you might think.

I don’t know about you, but I’m not earning much interest at the bank these days. Fortunately, an extraordinary “return-on-your-cash” alternative has come up in the last month.
