Research and Markets: The Buyback Letter, Standard Edition

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3073f3/the_buyback_letter) has announced the addition of the "The Buyback Letter, Standard Edition" subscription to their offering.

The Buyback Letter, a monthly online newsletter, is the only publication devoted to investing in companies that buy back their own stock. Editor David Fried's exclusive research, evaluation and recommendations of buyback stocks put his subscribers at the head of the investing pack.

All six of the portfolios presented in the newsletter are beating their benchmarks since inception. If fact, the Hulbert Financial Digest ranked The Buyback Letter #1 for risk-adjusted returns among stock-picking newsletters and #2 among all newsletters for the five-year period ending 12/31/2001, and it continues to rank in the Top 10 newsletters.

When a company buys back its own shares in the open market, the price of that stock usually heads up. Not always the next day, mind you, but soon.

Why? A company usually buys back its own shares when senior executives, the ultimate insiders, determine that the market is selling them much too cheaply. After the buyback, the company is still the same company. But there are fewer outstanding shares, so each of them is worth more. Earnings per share (EPS) rises too, often dramatically.

Now anybody could just list companies that announce buybacks and not all buybacks are created equal. For instance:

• Some companies announce buybacks but don't follow through.
• Some that announce buybacks have better prospects than others.
• Some buybacks aren't large enough to affect the value of the stock.

The Buyback Letter separates the contenders from the pretenders. It takes companies that announce buybacks and analyzes them more rigorously than they've ever been analyzed before.

Then it makes flat-out recommendations on what to do. No gobbledygook, no doubletalk. "Buy" means "buy," "sell" means "sell" and "hold" means "hold." You get these recommendations instantly by e-mail, while the profit opportunity is still at its peak.

This unique newsletter costs less than you could make in one smart buyback trade.
