Congratulations on joining the elite group of investors who are part of Vardy's Global Stock Investor. I trust that you'll find it an exciting and highly profitable experience.

Before we get started, let me remind you of a few key points:

1. Although you can buy and sell almost all of our picks as easily as GM or Microsoft, it's often good to have a broker that specializes in global markets. Those who are "in the know" use Interactive Brokers at www.InteractiveBrokers.com or you can call them at 1.877.442.2757. With them, you can trade about 40 markets, currencies, futures, options, as well as commodities. They're also a lot cheaper than retail brokers and are highly recommended.

2. On every trade, I will recommend a sell stop to protect your profits and your capital. You should abide by the stops in every case. They are essential to our success. Protecting your profits and your capital is the key to being a profitable trader. Entering a sell stop (good until cancelled) with your broker will assure you that your profits are protected, even when you're not watching the market.

3. If you are new to trading, don't worry. I'll give you all the information you need. Once you receive my recommendation, promptly contact your broker and read the instructions (or enter your order online). Once your buy is executed, go ahead and enter a sell stop order immediately.

If at any time you have questions regarding your subscription, please call Customer Service at 1.800.211.4774. If you have any questions regarding a potential trade, call your broker.
