Resource Stocks: Secret Oil Deal Rocks Somalia, Violence Erupts in Mogadishu

Nearly 14 years after the deadly Black Hawk Down incident, Mogadishu is raging with unspeakable violence. While the bloodshed is tragic, this emerging crisis presents you with a remarkable opportunity.

In fact, if you're willing to take advantage of a murderous African warlord (and you can meet the four qualifications outlined below), you could see a 1,500% gain in the next six months. In the long run, you could make 60 times your money. Maybe a whole lot more... Are you in?

The true story you're about to read is like something out of an Indiana Jones action-adventure movie:

A band of bloodthirsty Somali pirates... a ruthless tribal warlord... a 900-ton cargo ship hijacked off Africa's Horn... a fierce firefight in Mogadishu's Bakara Market... a $25 billion bribery scheme... a suitcase full of crisp, cool cash... and a tiny 50-cent micro-cap stock that could hit $8 by October 2007!

I'm telling you, the following pages are packed with pure intrigue and profit potential.

And here's the most exciting part: If things pan out the way I expect, the final chapter of this thrilling story could hand you a 1,500% gain by October 2007.

In the long run, it could make you 60 times your money. Maybe a whole lot more.

There is one catch, however...

Of the nearly 1 million investors reading this invitation worldwide, only 397 will be allowed to take advantage of the information I'm about to reveal. In fact, most people will be intentionally excluded so that a smaller, private group can enjoy the full rewards.

Now, that may seem unfair. It may seem cold-hearted.

And it probably is...

But because the circumstances surrounding this opportunity are of a very delicate nature, I have no choice but to strictly limit the number of subscribers who can participate at this time.

The good news is, if you can meet the four qualifications outlined in this letter (and you're among the first to seize the opportunity at hand), you'll almost certainly end up on the winning side of the draw.

And make no mistake: What you're about to discover could hand you a 1,500% gain by October 2007.

Plus, it could provide you with a steady flow of ten-baggers delivered to your inbox... each and every month.
But I'm getting ahead of myself, and the background story is actually pretty amazing...

Resource Stocks: Crossing Qaddafi's "Line of Death"

My name, by the way, is Christian DeHaemer. I'm the Senior Investment Analyst for the Taipan Group, a financial publishing company based in Baltimore, Maryland, since 1989.

If my name sounds familiar, it's probably because you've seen me making the rounds on the financial news circuit.

In fact, my team of analysts has been featured on numerous financial programs and publications, including Traders Nation, the Los Angeles Times, Forbes, CBS MarketWatch, StockDr.com, Money Matters, Personal Finance Radio, On the Money, and Taipan Financial News, to name a few.

As the publisher of Taipan Premium Services, as well as both founder and editor of GRESSOR and Red Zone Profits, I spend my time scouring the globe in search of lucrative investment opportunities for my nearly 37,000 readers worldwide.

With an extensive background in finance, I have over 10 years of hard-core Wall Street experience, and have worked side-by-side with some of the most cunning pit traders and hedge fund managers in the business.

But forget about my financial qualifications for a moment... because the thing that gives me an absolutely dominant advantage over other financial analysts is my extensive military background.

You see, for the final 24 months of my U.S. Naval career, I served on the USS John F Kennedy (CVA-67), carrying out operations in some of the most dangerous parts of the Third World, including Libya, Israel, Egypt, Turkey and Tunisia.

In fact, in April 1986, when Libyan terrorists bombed a West Berlin nightclub killing two American soldiers, I was part of the team that crossed Muammar Qaddafi's territorial "line of death" in the Gulf of Sidra to take out Libyan terror cells.

Of course, I can't give you any details of the work I did overseas for fear of putting our soldiers currently fighting in the Middle East at risk. But I can tell you this:

During my tour of duty, I rubbed shoulders with every kind of covert operative you can imagine: Navy SEALS, U.S. Special Forces, paramilitary commandos, military intelligence agents, and an array of deep-cover native informants.

Consequently, I built and maintained an extensive global network of sources and contacts completely unavailable to most Wall Street analysts.

To be blunt, some of my contacts are a bit rough around the edges. Some might even make your hair stand on end. And while these aren't the kind of folks you'd have over for Sunday dinner...

...the high-level information they provide is priceless.

And listen: My exposure to the Third World's underbelly taught me a valuable lesson that most desk-bound Wall Street weasels never understand. And that is this:

Crisis breeds opportunity...

Resource Stocks: Blood in the Streets

Grim... but true.

Political turmoil... financial upheaval... social unrest... coups d'etat... Third World civil wars... and bloody rebel uprisings often spawn unfathomable wealth. And in many cases, one country's extreme pain is the savvy trader's gain.

Does that disturb you?

I understand how it could. And don't get me wrong. I detest unnecessary violence. War is ugly and evil for sure. But it's still the way things get done on most of the planet.

This is especially true in the Third World, and the fact of the matter is, when blood flows in the streets... big gains are on the horizon.

Do you doubt it?

Well, just consider the collapse of the Soviet Union...

For years, the communist Soviet Government had controlled everything. But suddenly, the Government disappeared... and entire industries were up for grabs!

Most people stood back and waited for things to get sorted out. But a small group of bold entrepreneurs (known as "oligarchs") exploited the chaos to amass tremendous personal fortunes.

These guys used bribery, corruption and even murder to seize multibillion-dollar industries -- oil, natural gas, nickel, metals and media -- for pennies on the dollar!

Of course, the opportunity I'm going to tell you about in a moment doesn't involve anything corrupt or illegal.

The point I'm making is simply this: Today, the oligarchs are among the world's richest men. They went from bread lines to boardrooms... almost overnight... simply because they had the courage to exploit crisis.

Scenarios like the collapse of the Soviet Union are played out on a monthly basis all over the world.

And here's the thing: Because of my extensive overseas military experience, and my deep network of global contacts, I have my finger on the pulse of escalating situations long before most people know they exist.

That typically means big money for folks who have the guts (and financial muscle) to follow my advice.

In fact, in 2007 alone... my readers have realized gains of 170% on Simulations Plus and 278% on Summit Resources.

And over the last few years, the gains have been fast and furious. But here's the thing:

About once a month, I uncover a stock that makes the above gains look like child's play.

I call these opportunities "crisis situations" because they typically involve political and economic chaos in a Third World or developing country.

These micro-cap stocks are small, but they don't stay that way for long...

In fact, most of them go on to deliver astronomical returns. Many of them, in fact, have soared tenfold. Some have returned 20-to-1. And a few have even delivered 5,000% or more!

But for reasons I'll explain, I've been unable to recommend these surefire "crisis trades" to my 37,000 readers. Bottom line: I've had to keep my mouth shut, and watch quietly as these stocks launch into orbit.

PetroKazakhstan (PKZ) is a perfect example...

PKZ is an oil company based in Canada. When I first discovered PKZ, it was trading for 29 cents per share. But I knew it was headed for big gains...

You see, during the chaos following the collapse of the Soviet Union, PKZ stepped in and landed a stunning oil deal with the newly formed government of Kazakhstan.

Because PKZ was so small... and the oil deal they landed so lucrative... many experts believe that they used bribery to secure the deal.

And you know what? They probably did. But that's the way things get done when a country is in crisis.

Bottom line: While Big Oil firms like Exxon and Chevron waited for things to settle down, PKZ boldly stepped into the fray and did what it had to go to get the deal done.

When I first spotted PKZ in January 2001, it was trading for 29 cents per share. But my sources told me that the company was on the verge of a major upswing.

Unfortunately, at the time, PKZ was so small that I couldn't recommend it to my readers.

Why?

Because PKZ was a micro-cap so tiny that only a small fraction of my readers would have been able to get in at the 29-cent price before the added volume pushed the stock much higher.

Think about it: Thirty-seven thousand people rushing into a tiny micro-cap stock would double, triple or quadruple the price very quickly.

Because I want all my readers to have equal opportunity to profit from my recommendations, I had to set PKZ aside.

Let me tell you right now, it was pure agony to let PKZ slide... because even though I couldn't recommend it, I knew it was a home run in the making.

And you know what? I was right...

In fact, in the following months, PKZ took off. By June 2001 (just five months later!) PKZ was trading for $9.36.

That's a gain of 1,500% in less than six months.

And this was only the beginning. PKZ kept right on going, ultimately being bought out by China National Petroleum Corporation for $55 per share!

Think about that...

People with the vision to grab shares of PKZ early could have made a staggering 14,000%!

And here's the thing you need to understand: Opportunities like this are more common than you might think.

Why?

Resource Stocks: A World Gone Mad

Let's face it: We live in a dangerous world full of ongoing violence, turmoil and upheaval. Of course, I don't like it anymore than you do... but that's a stone-cold fact.

Consequently, stocks like PKZ are more common than most people realize. In fact, I come across a "crisis situation" stock like PKZ about once a month.

And I wish I could tell my readers about them. Problem is, the very best crisis-situation stocks are simply too small to recommend to my entire file of over 37,000 readers.

And while not all of these crisis-situation stocks go gangbusters, many of them deliver stunning triple- and quadruple-digit gains. For example:

PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia (TLK): During the horrific Indonesia Revolution of 1998, this telecom company plummeted from $32 to $2.35. Most people stayed away, but the savvy investors who spotted opportunity in this crisis rode TLK from $2.35 to over $47... a 1,900% gain!

Telefonica of Argentina (TAR): During the Argentina currency crisis of 2001, this telecommunications provider dropped from $50 to $2. Nervous investors wouldn't touch TAR with a 10-foot pole, but people with the vision to spot opportunity in the midst of crisis made a killing as the stock rebounded from $2 to $26.45... a tenfold gain!

Transportadora de Gas Del Sur (TGS): Another play on the Argentina currency crisis. Investors smart enough to pick this natural gas company at 62 cents made out like bandits when it soared to $8.10... a 1,200% gain!

Soco International (SIA.L): This Canadian oil firm used connections with Muammar Qaddafi's son to secure an oil deal in terror-infested Libya. Most investors stayed away, but a few savvy players got rich as the stock jumped from 70 pounds sterling to 1,665... a 2,200% gain!

Heritage Oil (HOC): This tiny oil company used ancient tribal ties to secure a lucrative oil deal in the middle of war-torn Iraq. Early investors made a fortune as the stock bolted from $4.85 to $38.50... a 600% gain!

Solidere (SLED.IL): A perfect example of opportunity in the middle of chaos. Despite Lebanon's 2006 war with Israel, this Lebanese construction company rebuilt Beirut and jumped from $6 in 2004 to over $26 in 2006... a gain of 333%!

Force Protection (FRPT.OB): As violence in Iraq and the Middle East escalated, this tank manufacturer made early investors a fortune in 2006. In fact, the stock bolted from 70 cents to $17.20... a 2,357% gain in less than a year!

Turkcell (TKC): In 2001, Turkey experienced a severe political and economic crisis. The lira lost 50% of its value, and hundreds of thousands people lost their jobs. When Turkcell (a mobile phone operator in Turkey) plunged from $24 to $1.50 most people headed for the hills. But astute traders with the guts to exploit chaos jumped on board and rode Turkcell from $1.50 to $16.52. That's a gain of over 1,000%!

And, as I mentioned earlier, PKZ stepped into the crisis surrounding the collapse of the Soviet Union, used every trick in the book to snatch up a lucrative oil deal, and turned early investors into millionaires as the stock skyrocketed from 29 cents to over $55 per share.

That's a phenomenal 18,865% gain!

Bottom line: When crisis hits, be ready. While most people run for cover, a fortune is waiting to be made by gutsy traders who have the courage (and financial means) to exploit chaos.

Take John Templeton, for example...

When the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939, most people prepared for WWII by sinking their money into savings bonds.

Not Templeton. Instead, he bought $100 worth of every penny stock on the NYSE... and quadrupled his money in four years.

And how 'bout George Soros...

Soros is legendary for exploiting turmoil. In fact, on September 16, 1992, he made over $1 billion in ONE DAY by preying on England's "Black Wednesday" currency crisis.

And then there's Manhattan-based trader Jim Rogers...

According to Money Week magazine, Rogers turned a $600 stake into approximately $100 million by speculating in places most people on Wall Street would never touch, like Botswana, Uruguay and Zambia.

And if you think lucrative crisis-investing opportunities only come around once in a while... think again! While it's too late to buy the companies I just told you about...

I've just isolated the next "crisis situation"...

As you'll see in a moment, this tiny 50-cent oil exploration company is, hands down, the most lucrative investment opportunity I've seen in my entire life.

Could this stock deliver 14,000% like PKZ?

Absolutely! In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this 50-cent stock went all the way to $50 or even $55 per share.

Early investors could expect to make over 60 times their money. And here's the best part:

Although this tiny oil company is too small to recommend to my entire file of 37,000 readers...

...I've figured out a way to share it with you today!

This is a very exciting time for me. As you can imagine, I've been going near crazy the last couple years, watching these "crisis situation" stocks skyrocket and not being able to tell anyone about them!

I'm not about to let this next stock get away.

Like I said, this next crisis-situation stock could be the biggest winner of all.

Most people don't know about this company yet. It's too small. But in the coming months, I bet we'll see big institutions and mutual funds begging to buy this stock for $4... $5... even $6 per share.

You can get in today for 50 cents!

Interested?

I'll tell you exactly how to buy shares of this company in just a moment. But first, let me give you the fascinating background story on this tiny company.

Resource Stocks: Global Oil Shortage

As you know, we are currently facing a severe global oil shortage that is driving oil prices through the roof.

In fact, on April 23, 2007, oil hit $67 per barrel. And CNN reports that on May 7, U.S. nationwide average gas prices hit a record high of $3.07 per gallon (over $4 in some areas).

While short-term fluctuations may bring prices down temporarily, most experts agree that the long-term trend is up.

"We think $100-a-barrel oil is very possible," says Frank Holmes, who manages the U.S. Global Investors' Global Resources Fund. Michael Brush of MSN Money agrees, "Get ready for $100-a-barrel oil," says Brush.

Why are oil prices so high? Simple. It's because our society craves the stuff. Cars, machinery, transportation... To maintain our way of life, we need oil. And that isn't going to change anytime soon.

The New York Times reports that the world's appetite for oil is growing at its fastest rate in 16 years.

And according to the Washington Post, the global demand for oil is rising faster than anyone expected.

Although OPEC producers are pumping at 25-year highs, the United States Department of Energy reports that oil reserves are near record lows.

That's because much of the world's oil production comes from oil fields that have been producing for decades. These fields are running out, and large oil companies like Chevron are struggling to find new sources.

This frantic quest for oil has pushed exploration companies into some of the most hostile and unstable parts of Africa.

According to the International Herald Tribune, Africa is in the midst of an oil boom, with companies and governments pouring $50 billion into projects that may double the continent's oil output in the next decade.

Has the Dark Continent paid off?

You better believe it!

Soco International secured an oil deal in Libya, sending its stock soaring over 1,200%. Heritage Oil discovered oil in Uganda, sending its stock surging to a 600% gain.

Of course, the competition for Africa's black gold is fierce. And with China grabbing up all the oil blocks around Heritage's Uganda discovery, attention is now turning to Africa's most violent and unstable country: Somalia.

Resource Stocks: Blood in the Streets

You may remember Somalia as the scene of the Black Hawk Down incident in 1993. That's when vicious rebels attacked and killed 18 American soldiers in the streets of Mogadishu.

Nearly 14 years later, the country is still raging with violence, as tribal warlords battle radical Islamic insurgents for control of the region.

On April 20, USA Today reported that 113 people had been killed in the streets of Mogadishu. And Reuters reports that a mass exodus is underway as more than 320,000 people have fled the city in recent weeks.

To make matters worse, Somalia's rugged coast is under siege by a band of bloodthirsty pirates.

On February 25, 2007, Somali pirates seized a U.N. vessel that was delivering 1,800 tons of food to refugees. And on April 4, pirates, armed with assault rifles, hijacked a 900-ton cargo ship and held it for ransom.

Bottom line: Somalia is in a state of absolute chaos.

Of course, commonsense would suggest people stay as far away from Somalia as possible. But because of the global oil crisis, Somalia is starting to look like the "promised land" to desperate oil executives.

Resource Stocks: The Promised Land

Back in the late 1980s, Somalia was considered one of the hottest oil explorations spots on the planet.

And in a 1991 World Bank study, the world's leading geologists put Somalia at the top of the list of prospective commercial oil producers.

That's because Somalia used to be attached to Yemen, before the Great Rift ripped up the Saudi peninsula from Africa, thus creating the Red Sea (about 300 million years ago).

According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Yemen has proven oil reserves of roughly 6 billion barrels.

And based on Somalia's similar terrain and close proximity to Yemen, experts believe that Somalia is also brimming with sweet crude.

The Los Angeles Times calls Somalia's oil reserves a "prospective fortune." And the Energy Bulletin calls Somalia "oil rich."

"It's there. There's no doubt there's oil," explains Thomas O'Connor, the principal petroleum engineer for the World Bank, who headed an in-depth study of Somalia's oil prospects.

And make no mistake: Big Oil is hungry for Somalia's black gold. In fact, they've been after it for years.

Resource Stocks: Big Oil Heads for the Hills

In fact, as early as 1986, Conoco, along with Amoco, Chevron, Phillips and Shell all obtained exploration licenses from Somalia, reports the Los Angeles Times.

You can be sure, Big Oil was chomping at the bit to drill Somalia's black gold. And they had it right in their hands!

But guess what?

In January 1991, Somalia's dictator, Said Barre, was assassinated by murderous tribal warlords, and Somalia was thrown into absolute chaos.

Big Oil had to pull back on their exploration plans. Of course, the oil lobby put the heat on the first President Bush to do something. And in 1990, Bush sent troops into Somalia.

Unfortunately for Big Oil, Somalia didn't much like the U.S. presence, and in October 1993, under the Clinton Administration, tribal warlords launched a deadly attack on the U.S. Marines in Mogadishu's Bakara Market.

In what became known as the "Black Hawk Down" incident, 18 American soldiers were killed by a mob of vicious thugs.

Much to Big Oil's despair, support for troops in Somalia faded fast... and in March 1994, the Clinton administration withdrew the U.S. military.

With violence raging, and the Said Barre government gone, Big Oil's Somalia contracts were deemed worthless.

Somalia has been a hornet's nest ever since.

Consequently, Somalia's oil-rich fields have been virtually untouched and unexplored by modern technology.

Bottom line: Somalia is now brimming with "sweet crude" just waiting to be turned into big profits!

Of course, Big Oil has been standing on the sidelines waiting for order to be restored for nearly 14 years.

But remember: Crisis breeds opportunity, and those who hesitate are lost.

That's exactly what has happened in Somalia...

You see, one tiny 50-cent oil exploration company found a way to exploit Somalia's chaos for a lucrative deal that could make you a bundle. In fact, it could hand you a 1,500% return in the next six months. In the long run, it could make you 60 times your money. Maybe more.

I'll tell you how to buy shares of this stock in just a moment, but first, let me show you how they literally snatched Somalia's oil fortune right out from under Big Oil's nose.

Resource Stocks: Steal of the Century

As I mentioned, Somalia has been in turmoil since Said Barre was assassinated in 1991.

The country basically split into pieces... with different tribal warlords controlling different parts of the country. In fact, according to Foreign Affairs magazine, Somalia is the only country in the world without a functional central government.

Back in 2004, the United States and the U.N. helped Somalia organize a Transitional Federal Government (TFG) in an effort to unify the country.

After all, stabilizing Somalia is important for the United States oil interests.

Now, almost immediately, the TFG announced to the world that Somalia was essentially open for business.

Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi told reporters the country was prepared to offer oil, gas and mineral concessions to foreign companies, although this invitation came with a warning: all firms were to do business only with the TFG, and not make deals with the various tribal factions.

"Foreign companies should desist in attempts to deal with local authorities... without prior written consent from the federal government," Prime Minister Gedi said.

"Any violation of this will result in negative consequences and the responsibility will lie with the culprits. Until the government puts in place specific legislation for natural resources management, such as a national hydrocarbon law, it will be categorically impossible to give concessions."

Now, with all the uncertainty, Big Oil played it safe, and stayed away from Somalia.

Big mistake!

You see, while Big Oil was standing on the sidelines waiting for the chaos to settle down...

A tiny 50-cent oil exploration company, whom I'll call Oil Raider (not its real name), signed a shocking oil deal with the Republic of Puntland, one of Somalia's tribal regions.

How big is this deal?

Well, Puntland occupies the northeast tip of Somalia. It is right on Africa's Horn, directly across from oil-rich Yemen! Because of its location, experts believe Puntland is sitting on the bulk of Somalia's oil wealth.

In fact, based on oil exploration conducted in the Puntland region during the 1980s by Conoco, it is believed that Puntland hosts a BILLION barrels of recoverable oil!

And get this: Not only did Oil Raider secure an oil deal... it landed an EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT for 100% of the oil AND minerals in Puntland, including oil, coal, uranium, silver, iron ore, copper, lead, natural gas... everything!

And here's the stunning part: The deal only cost the company $10 million...

Think about that...

With oil prices at $67 per barrel, the petroleum side of this deal could be worth $67 BILLION.

And that doesn't even include the potentially massive supply of uranium, silver, copper and other commodities that Puntland is sitting on.

Oil Raider is tiny, with a market cap of $50 million. And now, with a mere $10 million investment, it controls natural resource assets potentially worth $67 billion!

That's 1,340 times (67B/50M = 1340) their current market value.

I think you'll agree: The upside is absolutely staggering!

And it only gets better...

Because Oil Raider has acquired some of the old Conoco sites, drilling could begin very soon. A lot of the legwork and due diligence has already been done.

But while Somalia is in a state of chaos, the Puntland region is a relatively peaceful oasis that sees very little violence.

Somalia Watch reports that Puntland is a "stable, peaceful, self-governing regional State with a well functioning public administration firmly in place." And the U.N. Refugee Agency (UNHCR) agrees, stating that in contrast to the turmoil in Mogadishu, Puntland remains stable.

In addition, my source in East Africa personally conducted a trip into the heart of Puntland, where he met with the oil minister, the finance minister, and a tribal elder. He also visited Oil Raider's newly acquired sites and reports that there is no fighting in the area.

That means oil operations will not be subject to the same level of instability that the rest of the country is experiencing.

I'll tell you how to grab a few shares of this tiny 50-cent oil exploration company in just a moment. But first, let's take a look at how these guys landed such a lucrative contract.

Resource Stocks: A Suitcase Full of Crisp, Cool Cash

Now, you can be sure... some folks were not happy about this deal. In fact, my sources in Somalia tell me that many people believe the Puntland region got robbed.

The agreement is so unfavorable to Somalia that oil and gas industry experts were bewildered when its news was announced late last year.

Dr. Ali Abullaahi Barkadle, a Somali resource and management consultant living in Melbourne, Australia, says, "The Puntland contract gave an unfair advantage to [Oil Raider] by lumping together mining and oil concessions and giving the whole state -- roughly 212,000 square kilometers -- to a single company was unheard of."

He continues, "It seems the negotiators had a very limited understanding of the mining and oil industry or were in need of quick money."

Omar M. Abdi and Salah Fatah, correspondents for the WardheerNews Group, a Somali news portal, state, "We wonder if any other country has been robbed of its wealth as belligerently as the [Oil Raider] did to Somalia. An interesting analogy to this deal, in our opinion, is when the Dutch bought the island of Manhattan in New York in early 18th century from the native Indians for a bunch of beads amounting to 60 Dutch Guilders, which was later converted to about 24 US dollars."

And international commodity expert and best-selling financial author J. Christoph Amberger agrees: "[Oil Raider] negotiated the most one-sided deal in years. How they did it, I have no idea. They literally took Somalia's oil fortune for pennies on the dollar. I wouldn't be surprised to see early investors capture a 100-fold gain on this. It's got post-communist Russia written all over it."

Now, you may be wondering: How did Oil Raider get the Puntland government to give them potentially $67 billion in oil reserves for a mere $10 million?

Well, Somalia is a poor country. Long-range vision isn't a luxury they can afford. People are desperate and surviving day to day.

So... $10 million in the short term is simply too good to pass up. And there apparently was some additional "incentive" involved in the deal. In fact, my sources in Puntland indicate that in addition to the official $10 million... a suitcase full money found its way into the hands of the Puntland negotiators.

Didn't anybody object to this unfair deal? They sure did. In a letter to the Australian Stock Exchange, Somali Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi stated that the deal between Oil Raider and the Somali state of Puntland was invalid because ONLY the country's Transitional Federal Government (TFG) could negotiate the sale of mineral and petroleum rights.

But then... Mr. Gedi had a remarkable change of mind!

In fact, within days of vehemently opposing the deal, Prime Minister Gedi fully endorsed the deal!

Now, what caused the Prime Minister to suddenly reverse course and endorse the deal?

Again, there's no proof. But my sources believe that a fat envelope full of cash probably found its way into Mr. Gedi coat pocket. (Watch the movie Syriana, and you'll see exactly how these backdoor deals happen!)

But regardless of why Gedi changed his mind... the fact of the matter is this: Somalia sold its financial future for a short-term cash infusion. Of course, Oil Raider did throw in a 10% royalty payment against future revenues.

But still, the Puntland deal was lopsided. Savvy oil industry veterans showed up in Third World Somalia and took a clan of tribal warlords to the cleaners.

Is that fair?

Nope. Not by a long shot. And the people of Somalia could have done a lot better if the deal were negotiated with the long-term in mind.

But that's the way things go, and the reality of the situation is this: Crisis breeds opportunity.

People with the guts to exploit crisis situations get rich.

People who hesitate end up empty-handed.

So, this leaves you with a choice: You can shake your finger at Oil Raider... or you can step in and claim your share of the profits.

Before you make your decision, let me be clear:

This situation is, hands down, the most lucrative opportunity I've ever seen, bar none.

In fact, it reminds me so much of PetroKazakhstan (PKZ) that it's scary.

Remember how PKZ stepped into the chaos surrounding the collapse of the Soviet Union and handed early investors 14,000%?

While most oil firms stood on the sidelines, PKZ boldly staked its claim to Kazakhstan's oil riches.

Of course, after the heavy lifting was done, Big Oil stepped in and acquired PKZ... making early investors rich.

In fact, folks who got into PKZ early pocketed 140 times their money when China National Petroleum Corporation acquired the company for $55 per share.

And here's the good news for you: The tiny 50-cent stock I'm recommending today offers similar riches.

In fact, I believe a bidding war is on the horizon that could send Oil Raider's stock price soaring.

Resource Stocks: A Highly Strategic Location

As I mentioned, Oil Raider secured an exclusive contract for 100% of the oil, gas and natural resources in Puntland.

As you can imagine, Big Oil is pretty upset. And I don't blame them. Think about it: They had Somalia all locked up before dictator Said Barre was overthrown in 1991.

Big Oil knows Somalia is worth a fortune; they already had it right in their hands once... and now, tiny 50-cent Oil Raider has snatched it away.

But make no mistake: Both Big Oil and the U.S. Government want Somalia's oil reserves back.

You see, not only is Somalia's oil worth a billion...

...but Puntland/Somalia provides a highly strategic military location because it's situated on the coast, just miles from Saudi Arabia, and overlooks the daily passage of oil tankers and warships on their way to the Persian Gulf.

Whoever controls Puntland/Somalia... can block or protect the flow of oil to the West.

Resource Stocks: Takeover Bid on the Horizon

Now, because Oil Raider is publicly traded, Big Oil firms like Exxon and Chevron can simply conduct a takeover bid... and Somalia's oil fortune is theirs.

Big Oil is not shy about spending money to get what they want. And years of rising gas prices have filled their pockets with cash.

For a company like BP or Chevron, spending a few billion for a hot property is not a problem -- especially a property that practically guarantees a fresh and plentiful source of oil and gas.

In fact, in 2005, Chevron spent $17.3 billion to purchase Unocal. Conoco spent $35.6 billion to acquire Burlington Resources. And PKZ was ultimately taken over by China National Petroleum Corporation for $4.1 billion, or $55 per share!

And here's the thing: At the time, PKZ was sitting on roughly 500 million barrels of oil in Kazakhstan. Oil Raider is sitting on potentially 1 billion barrels in Somalia!

That's twice the oil PKZ had... and PKZ was acquired for $55 per share!

Imagine if Oil Raider were purchased for $55 per share?

People who get in now at 50-cents per share will become millionaires practically overnight.

And make no mistake: Now that Oil Raider has signed a deal with Somalia, Big Oil is ready to pounce.

How much will a Big Oil firm like Exxon or Conoco pay for Oil Raider? Let's take a look:

Resource Stocks: This 50-cent stock is worth $30 per share -- here's why:

Oil Raider has 100% rights to Puntland/Somalia's oil and minerals. And get this: They also own a uranium mine in Peru!

With uranium prices hitting $100 per pound, Oil Raider's uranium mine alone could be worth a few billion dollars.

But let's be conservative in our calculations and set Oil Raider's Peruvian uranium mine aside for the moment.

Let's also set aside the gas, coal, copper and iron ore they acquired in the Puntland/Somalia deal (potentially worth billions), just to play it conservatively.

Instead, let's focus on the Somali/Puntland oil...

As I mentioned, Puntland (located directly across from oil-rich Yemen) is sitting on an estimated 5 billion barrels of oil. But we don't know for sure exactly how much oil is there.

So, to be ultra-conservative, let's cut that number way down, and say that Puntland is only sitting on 500 million barrels of oil, just like PKZ. Fair enough?

Now, oil's average market price over the last year is about $50 per barrel.

That makes the Puntland oil reserves worth approximately $25 billion, which means Oil Raider controls $25 billion in oil.

Now, my sources tell me that Oil Raider has to split revenues with a silent partner.

So let's cut the $25 billion in half, and say Oil Raider is sitting on reserves worth $12.5 billion.

At 50 cents per share, Oil Raider has a market cap of $50 million. (As you may know, the "market cap" is just a measure of a company's market value. It's the value of all outstanding shares of stock, and basically determines how much the company would sell for on the open market. In this case, Oil Raider could be purchased for $50 million.)

Think about that...

Oil Raider has a market cap of $50 million. Yet its oil assets alone are worth potentially $12.5 BILLION!

That makes Oil Raider look like a serious bargain to Big Oil titans like Exxon and Conoco.

So... how much would Big Oil pay for $12.5 billion in oil reserves?

Well, in a bidding war, there's no telling how high the price could go. Remember, Big Oil is desperate for fresh sources of oil, and bidding could drive the price to $2.5 billion or even higher. That means Big Oil would be getting $12.5 billion in oil for $2.5 billion -- a very good deal.

But let's stay conservative and say Big Oil will only pay $1.5 billion, or $30 per share, for Oil Raider.

Could it go that high?

Absolutely. Remember PetroKazakhstan?

China National Petroleum Corporation paid $55 per share for PetroKazakhstan, handing early investors 140 times their money.

So a target price of $30 for Oil Raider would certainly be realistic. But let's get even more conservative...

Resource Stocks: Ultra-Conservative Target Price -- $8 by October 2007

Listen: I've made money for my 37,000 readers by being realistic, by being cautious.

And I'd rather err on the conservative side.

So, let's assume oil prices are going to drop -- in half -- down to $30 per barrel. Of course, most experts believe that oil will move higher, ultimately topping $100 per barrel.

But let's just look at a worst-case scenario and say oil will drop to $30 per barrel.

That means we need to cut our target price as well... to $8 per share by October 2007.

You can get in today for a mere 50 cents per share...

But you must act quickly because things are heating up fast. Listen to this:

Resource Stocks: It's Happening Right Now!

As I mentioned, the Clinton administration withdrew U.S. troops from Somalia after the Black Hawk Down incident in 1993.

Since that time, the U.S. has had little to do with Somalia.

Why bother with a bunch of bloodthirsty warlords, right?

But here's the thing: The U.S. has been silently building a presence in Somalia. You'd have to dig deep to find the facts. But they do exist. For example:

According to the Washington Post, in January 2007, the U.S. Military entered Somalia for the first time in nearly 14 years. And The New York Times reports that U.S. troops have returned to Somalia to support local warlords who have been fighting radical Islamic insurgents for control of Mogadishu.

In addition, the U.S. has been pouring massive resources into the Somalia over the last few months.

According to William Church, director of the Great Lakes Centre for Strategic Studies, the CIA has been funneling between $100,000 and $150,000 monthly into Somalia. And military equipment has been donated to Somali forces by Select Armor, a private company based in Virginia... just a stone's throw from the Pentagon.

In February 2007, President Bush announced that the U.S. Department of Defense has created a new Africa command, called AFRICOM, to coordinate U.S. interests on the continent.

Why has the U.S. suddenly renewed its interest in Somalia?

You guessed it -- oil!

Big Oil has a very powerful lobby in Washington. And oil is very important to the future United States. After all, our country depends on oil for nearly everything, including transportation and national defense.

And no matter how many bills Congress passes for alternative energy sources, we will never cut our dependence on oil -- never. It hasn't happened in the past 30 years and it won't happen in the next 30 years.

Make no mistake: Big Oil and the U.S. Government want Somalia's oil reserves in friendly hands. They want the region relatively stable. They want the path cleared so Big Oil can launch drilling operations. And they want Somalia/Puntland's strategic location overlooking the Gulf.

Of course, Oil Raider still controls the Puntland oil reserves. But according to my sources, Big Oil is getting ready to make a play for Oil Raider.

And here's the kicker...

Resource Stocks: A Legendary Billionaire Is Loading Up!

Until April 2007, Oil Raider was trading for about 3 cents per share... with a market cap of $50 million.

But on April 16, 2007, Oil Raider completed a 20-for-1 reverse stock spilt. This lifted its stock price to 50 cents per share, while keeping the market cap at $50 million.

According to Business Week magazine, reverse stock splits are becoming common and are typically used by small companies looking to attract big buyers.

While the reverse split doesn't impact the value of the stock, it does make Oil Raider's stock price much more appealing to a broader range of investors, including mutual funds and institutional traders.

It also makes it more appealing to a potential Big Oil suitor... and sets the stage for a competitive bidding war.

And sure enough, on April 18, 2007, just two days after the reverse split, Oil Raider attracted their first major institutional investor.

In fact, Tudor Capital, a $16.1 billion investment firm managed by the legendary billionaire trader, Paul Tudor Jones, gobbled up 9.8 million shares at 50 cents per share... the same ground-floor price you'll get if you act immediately!

I can assure you, Tudor Capital's interest is a strong signal that Big Oil is gearing up for a takeover bid. Something is clearly happening behind the scenes, and I believe this tiny 50-cent stock is in play...

Get in now at 50 cents per share, and you could realistically sell your stake for $8 per share by October 2007. That's a 1,500% gain in six months. In the long run, you could see a staggering 60 times your money, maybe more.

Sound crazy?

It's happened before. Many times. I've already told you about the numerous crisis-situation stocks that have jumped tenfold in the last couple years.

I told you how PKZ went from 29 cents to $55 per share, handing early investors 140 times their money.

Transportadora de Gas Del Sur (TGS) went from 62-cents to $8.10... a 1,200% gain! Soco International (SIA.L) jumped from 70 to 1,665... a 2,200% gain! Heritage Oil (HOC) bolted from $4.85 to $38.50... a 600% gain! And Turkcell (TKC) exploded from $1.50 to $16.52. That's a gain of over 1,000%!

Listen to me now: I am absolutely confident that this tiny 50-cent oil exploration company will deliver similar returns.

In the coming weeks, I believe we'll see big mutual funds and institutional buyers begging to buy shares of Oil Raider for $7, $8, even $9 per share.

You can get in today for a mere 50 cents...

Of course, a micro-cap stock like this is too small for me to recommend to my 37,000 readers...

But it is something I could recommend to a much smaller group...

Resource Stocks: Small Private Group = Big Advantage

As the editor of both GRESSOR and Red Zone Profits, my goal is to help people make explosive gains.

And I've done just that.

In fact, in 2007 alone... my readers have realized gains of 170% on Simulations Plus and 278% on Summit Resources.

And over the last few years, the gains have been fast and furious. Take a look:

+ 148% on Railpower Tech (P.TO)
+ 178% on Grupo Simec (SIM)
+ 121% on Solidere
+ 515% on Palm Source
+ 162% on Markland Technologies
+ 243% on CEMEX
+ 148% on Railpower Tech (P.TO)
+ 178% on Grupo Simec (SIM)
+ 100% on USEC
+ 122% on Cannondale
+ 100% on Chesapeake Energy
+ 147% on Bio Phan
+ 192% on Holis Eden
+ 118% on Take Two Interactive
+ 302% on Aastrom Bioscience
+ 121% on Penn National Gaming
+ 157% on Companhia Sideruigal Nacional
+ 362% on Evergreen Solar
+ 122% on Cannondale
+ 100% on Chesapeake Energy

Pretty good. Thing is, I realized that my readers are missing out on some of the best crisis situations.

Companies like:

PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia (TLK), the telecom company that soared from $2.35 to over $47 during the Indonesian riots... a 1,900% gain!

Telefonica of Argentina (TAR), the telecom company that bolted from $2 to over $26 during the Argentina currency crisis.

Transportadora de Gas Del Sur (TGS), the natural gas company that bolted from 62 cents to over $8 during the chaos surrounding Argentina's currency crisis.

Solidere (SLED.IL), the construction company that climbed from $6 to over $26... a 333% gain!

Force Protection (FRPT.OB), the tank manufacturer that has bolted from 70 cents to $17.20... a 2,357% gain in less than a year!

Turkcell (TKC), the mobile-phone operator that skyrocketed from $1.50 to over $16 during Turkey's political mayhem... a 1,000% gain!

I hate seeing stocks that I discover shoot up in price without you being able to benefit from the information.

That's why I've decided to launch a new private group called Crisis Trader.

Membership in Crisis Trader puts you in elite company -- a truly small group of savvy investors ready to profit from a world gone mad. These aren't ordinary investors. They're people who recognize highly profitable investment situations. They're risk takers... cast in the mold of billionaire traders like Jim Rogers, John Templeton, and George Soros.

As a Member of Crisis Trader, you'll receive details on the very best crisis situation stocks I'll uncover. And here's an important detail about Crisis Trader: Although I come across a crisis situation roughly once per month, I won't pick stocks on a pre-determined time schedule just to meet publishing deadlines.

In fact, I'll only recommend a crisis trade when I'm absolutely confident that you have a real chance to see a tenfold gain or better.

You have to understand, I'm talking about small companies most people have never heard of. And while not all of them will work out, many of these stocks could go on to deliver tenfold gains.

Just like the 50-cent oil exploration stock I've been telling you about.

When you sign up for Crisis Trader, I'll give you immediate online access to a Special Report that will give you all the details on this 50-cent stock, including the name of the company and ticker symbol.

I truly believe this stock could hit $8, delivering a 1,500% gain by October 2007. In the long run, I believe it could make you 60 times your money -- maybe more.

Of course, as a member of Crisis Trader, it will only be the first in an ongoing flow of micro-cap winners.

As I mentioned, when I come across a new crisis situation you'll be the first to know. Not all of these companies will deliver 1,000% gains.

But as you can see above, the chances of pocketing big gains, over and over again, are very realistic.

Unfortunately, most people are going to miss out on this opportunity.
