If you're one of those people who are having trouble finding the silver lining in the U.S. economy, where wallets are tightening and gas prices are rising, then you're not alone.

Wall Street has given many of us a bad case of whiplash with its wild swings, and no one seems to know when the volatility will end. To add salt to the wound, the housing market is still a mess, making more and more banks hesitant to loan money.

The overarching sentiment is that investors feel like they've lost control. With the summer driving season fast approaching, gas prices are skyrocketing. Inflation is also inching higher and making basic necessities like bread and milk more expensive.

But what if there were a tool to help you take back control? With a tool that has a proven 8-point system that separates the stock market's winners from the losers? One that has helped my Blue Chip Growth subscribers close out 2007 with 29.8% gains?

And what if I told you that you could take it for a test drive for 6 entire months risk-free? Wouldn't you want to take it for a test drive? Well, today, that's exactly what I'm going to do.

A Sure Thing in Uncertain Times

As many of you may know, I cross the country hosting seminars for individual investors, and can frequently be seen giving market analysis on hit news shows like Bloomberg, Fox News and CNBC. Each and every time, like clockwork, I'm asked same question:

"Louis, how can you be so calm in this economy?"

And each and every time, my answer is always same: My 8-point stock rating system has never steered me wrong.

See, at Blue Chip Growth we've spent millions of dollars developing my 8-point rating system. In fact, its selectivity has become the cornerstone of our success–proving beyond a doubt that, as an investor, you can take control and squeeze excessive risk out of your portfolio by investing in superior-performing stocks–recession or no recession.
