“Real estate agent who had never traded in her life made an incredible$100,000 in real profits in just 3 months by making the trades I recommended!”
– R.E. McMasterDear Mr. McMaster,
I have completed an analysis of the profit/loss of the McMasterOnline service for the period of 1 October, 2005 through 6 January,2006, based on the following assumptions:
• Taking each and every recommended trade, with a risk of approximately $2,000 per trade.
• Taking all profits at the first mention of taking partialprofits, or when the first target figure is reached,whichever came first. (More profitable results could havebeen achieved and recorded in this track record if, aftertaking partial profits, an investor had let the remaininghalf of his profits “ride” and accrue in the market asMcMaster Online instructed.)
• Entering each trade where there is an “enter lightly” atapproximately $1,000 risk (half of a normal position), andentering the remaining $1,000 when the rest of the tradeis next recommended.
• Entering each trade with an additional $1,000 risk where McMaster Online said to add to positions.
• This track record does not take into account brokeragefees and commissions.
On the above basis, McMaster Online generated $68,637.85PROFIT over a period of only 3 months!
There were $93,438.87 in profitable trades, and $24,801.02 inunprofitable ones. This is made up of 38 profitable trades to 18unprofitable trades, giving a total percentage of profitable tradesat 68% over the 56 trades.
This is achievable with a trading account of only $20,000,
allowing 10 trades of approximately$2,000 each to be held at any one time.
This could be increased as the profitsbuilt up as well. If this was done, the prof-its would increase exponentially whilepracticing safe money management by tak-ing a suitable proportion of these profitsaside to invest. So, someone with a tradingaccount of only $20,000 would haveachieved a PROFIT OF 343.19%, without ever risking more than$20,000!
This track record is purely theoretical. Real trading is different.Market fills on positions vary as do brokerage commissions. I donot think I made any mistakes in computing the track record, but I am human.
This being said, in my personal trading account, trading exclu-sively McMaster Online recommendations and McMaster OnlineTrades Under Consideration, following McMaster’s book (TheArt of the Trade) guidelines for money management, aftercommissions, in real money, I have a net profit in excess of$100,000 achieved since 14th October 2005 in my account thathad $100,000 dollars or less.
Prior to commencing trading on 14th October, I had no previ-ous experience in trading. So I have doubled my money using theMcMaster Online recommendations and Trades UnderConsideration in less than 90 days, which is an annualized returnof over 400%.

My name is R.E. McMaster. And if you've never heard of me, you might think
I'm blowing smoke.
So to get us off on the right foot, let me give you a little perspective
on my work. . . .
3During the Reagan presidency, the White House had five separate
subscriptions to my newsletter.
3I was one of only 80 men selected for the Library of
Congress "think tank" on economic and military matters under
Dr. William Whitson.
3In 1987, I co-developed an Economic Development Plan for the
Cayman Islands. My ideas and plan helped turn their economy
around by encouraging banks to provide capital to small businesses,
which led to more jobs for the locals and developed a strong
free market for labor from Jamaica. To this day, the plan is
still in effect.
3My work has been praised by governments and corporations
around the world for its clarity, sound principles, and
astounding accuracy. In Alberta, Canada in the mid 1980s the
Agricultural Department brought me in to help agri-business
owners make sense of the country's economic climate and help
them develop more profitable businesses.
3When Argentina was in dire need of help in turning their
country's economy around in 1988 -- I flew in to help top
government officials develop a master plan to attract and hold
foreign capital. Argentina applied it successfully for several
years before deviating from the plan and slipping back to
its old decadent ways.
3In 1983, the president of Guatemala, Efrain Rios-Mont,
retained me exclusively to reform and revamp the country's
economy into a U.S.-type constitutional republic. It was
so dangerous in the country,and my work threatened so
many corrupt special interests, that I was often escorted
by armed guards carrying fully automatic machine guns.
This earned me the nickname, The "Indiana Jones of
Third World Economics."
3Cuba's top Western educated officials personally invited
me to Cuba to help straighten out that country's
letter_12_06_revised_28pg 12/14/06 5:12 PM Page 3
4
agriculture and housing dilemmas in 2001. I have a standing
invitation to return whenever I want to talk business and economics.
3When I was working as a money manager and word got out that I
was starting a limited series of fifty managed futures trading
accounts, I raised $4.5 million dollars in five days from traders
who wanted to cash in on my expertise. So many traders applied
that I was only able to take one-third of the applicants.
3For three straight years I was rated by E.F. Hutton as the
nation's top futures money manager, averaging a net return of
66% a year with a zero probability of ruin. Hutton, Shearson,
and Hornblower & Weeks all approved me nationally as a commodity
trading advisor.
3I was voted "MOST VALUABLE" and "READ BY THE MOST BROKERS"
in a nationwide survey by Futures Magazine and was elected one
of Futures Magazine's All-Star Trader's Hotline Advisors.
3I regularly work with -- and learn from -- some of the most
successful traders and investors in the world, including W.D.
Gann, Larry Williams, and mentor and legendary technical
systems' developer, Welles Wilder, who some believe should
be awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics.
3To make money in commodities trading requires precise timing
for entry and exit of positions. I come by this precise attention
to detail naturally, because I was qualified as a T-38 jet
instructor pilot in the U.S. Air Force -- and when you are
flying supersonic jets, absolute precision is a must.
3In 1999, I wrote the McGraw-Hill best-seller, The Art of
The Trade, which sold out the window display three times
in Chicago's largest bookstore (see page 23 to read
reviews of this book).
3For nearly 20 years professional traders and brokers
paid $2,400 a year for my evening Daily Market Hotline.
3For over 20 years I published a very successful futures
trading newsletter. Ninety-two percent of my readers regularly
renewed their subscriptions.
3And over the past 25 years almost every major player in the
futures markets has used my services and recommended me to
letter_12_06_revised_28pg 12/14/06 5:12 PM Page 4

their friends and clients.
But none of this means anything to you if I can't fulfill the three
promises I made at the beginning of this letter.
That's why I invite you to join McMaster Online and let me e-mail (or fax)
you my personal trades for the next 90-days -- totally risk free on your part.
See for yourself the difference in profits when you have the "trader of the
pro's" directing your money.
After the first four invitations I’ve sent out, new subscribers saw immediateprofits of 259%…400%…and 420%. And by taking advantage of
the ONGOING bull market in commodities, I expect similar results in the next few months for all subscribers.
In 2001 I started a very special program where every day I e-mail or fax
my trades to a select group of traders.
In the five years since I started this service, we've seen phenomenal gains
of 259% . . . 400% . . . and 420% immediately before and after our invitations
have been sent out.
Some subscribers even have a standing order with their brokers to take
every single trade I recommend. These subscribers don't even have to bother to
read the McMaster Online e-mail themselves!
But there's a catch. This service is not for everyone. . .
A program for only a select few traders. Do you qualify?
Most traders will not want to take advantage of my new service. Not because
of the costs -- it comes out to less than the price of a cup of coffee a day.
But because some investors want words -- not results. They expect a
newsletter to arrive in their mailbox every month. They want pages of analysis
and fancy charts. They want lots to read so they feel they're getting their
money's worth. McMaster Online offers none of this. McMaster Online is precise
and to the point -- no wasted words!
McMaster Online is for you if you do not equate value with quantity. I'll
e-mail (or if you prefer, I can fax you) the precise trades I recommend you
make. It will literally take you only a minute or two to read the daily e-mail
of specific trading recommendations. That's it.

McMaster Online is not my personal
soapbox to impress you with my knowledge
about the markets. My job is to make
you money! It's fast. It's efficient.
It's profitable. Whenever I find a
trade -- you'll get it. It's as simple
as that. That being said, statistics
are included in McMaster Online, should
you want to see them.
I encourage you to take all the
trades I recommend. But whether you do
or not is totally up to you. You can
take any trades you want. But you can
read my recommended trades, my trades
under consideration, and my market
commentary in 2 minutes or less every
day. And that's all you need to trade
my McMaster Online.
Just know that the best results
so far have been by the traders
who've followed all the trades and
trades under consideration. Also, you
should have a minimum of $15,000 to
open a trading account. With that
much, you can cover all the trades --
instead of just making some of the
trades and hoping for the best.
This is not day trading. While
you'll get an e-mail or fax from me
almost every trading day, some days
there are no trades. And you can
expect to be in a trade anywhere from
a couple of days to a couple of
months. It's not like day traders,
who make 20 or 30 trades a day. Who
needs that stress? And who has time
for it?
To give you an idea of what you
can expect: in a slow month, we may
make only a dozen trades for the
entire month. Other months, when the
Put your money where it canmake 259% in a matter of
months — even if the stockmarket nose-dives!
Real world results…
In the past few years we’ve made some staggering profits from commodities (holdingonly one contract per trade)…
• $2,090 in 18 days from crude oil
• $1,410 in 35 days from gold
• $1,950 in 10 days from the S&P
• $4,012 in 13 days from the S&P
• $1,750 in 19 days from cattle
• $2,037 in 18 days from the British Pound
• $1,380 in 5 days from lean hogs
• $2,525 in 13 days from the Euro
• $3,350 in 13 days from palladium
• $1,490 in 19 days from Canadian Dollar
• $1,137 in 51 days from corn
• $937 in 8 days from soybeans
• $670 in 21 days from cattle
• $4,220 in 17 days from the U.S. Dollar
• $3,612 in 14 days from the Swiss Franc
• $2,142 in 21 days from heating oil
• $5,500 in 26 days from natural gas
• $5,475 in 83 days from the Swiss Franc
• $4,375 in 53 days from the Swiss Franc
• $3,180 in 25 days from the U.S. Dollar
• $2,800 in 14 days from feeder cattle
• $2,130 in 9 days from the dollar index
• $2,730 in 32 days from cocoa
This is just a small list of some of our profitable trades sinceMcMaster Online was started. There are many, many moreprofitable trades we’ve had — but I don’t have room to listthem here.
However, these trades will give you a good idea of how muchwe profit and how long we often stay in a trade. Of course,remember, there is a risk of loss in trading futures and optionsand past performance is no guarantee of future results.

markets are really rocking, we can make as many as 50 trades.
PLUS: I'll tell you specifically what other markets I'm monitoring for
money-making opportunities -- my "trades under consideration." This way you can
take advantage of these markets on your own if you wish -- as most experienced
(and some inexperienced) traders do.
Are we on the same page now? Good, because now I want to remind you that
all the profits we've earned have NOT been made in the stock market (except when
we were profitably long or short the stock index futures).
As I said at the beginning, we make our money in the futures markets --
commonly called commodities.
If you've ever traded the S&P, Dow Jones, or NASDAQ Index, then you're
familiar with futures and commodities. The futures in all three of these stock
indexes are widely followed and traded.
The futures market is huge. One exchange alone, the Chicago Mercantile
Exchange -- the largest in the nation -- traded 640 million futures contracts last
year. The total underlying of these contracts was a staggering $334 trillion
. . . more than 30 times the total U.S. GDP of $10 trillion.
Did you know there are over 40 more commodities and futures you can
trade? More importantly, the reason you should be trading commodity futures
right now is because. . .
…the futures markets are the greatest frontier for creating millionaires!
While the stock market exhibits whipsaw volatility and continues to return
anemic gains, we are now in an enormous, long-term BULL MARKET in commodities.
As global warming and climate changes wreak more havoc . . . as the
world's central banks devalue their currencies . . . and as China and India
buy up every commodity in sight . . .as war rages -- commodity prices will
continue to explode upward!
In the 1990s, investors made a fortune in the "high-tech" boom in stocks.
Of course, most of them also lost their fortunes and more when prices came
down to reality.
As for real estate, the market has topped out . . . and the "housing
bubble" is already popping. An article in Kiplinger's Personal Finance warns:
"So much real estate has become so expensive that many real estate pros say
letter_12_06_revised_28pg 12/14/06 5:12 PM Page 7

now is a better time to sell than buy."
That leaves the futures markets: the most profitable, yet often most
misunderstood, money-making field in the world. However, if you accept your
trial offer, you don't even have to know the difference between a hog and a
pork belly. I do all the work for you.
This is the most exciting time to trade futures I’ve seen in over 25 years.
The CRB Index is up 92.46% from its
October 2001 lows, outperforming the S&P 500
during the same period by more than 5-to-1. And
it is in this phase of the bull market where
big money is made very quickly.
Today, the central banks are tightening
credit and raising interest rates to slow economic
growth in China and India in particular.
But as soon as inflation cools, which should be sometime later this year,
the massive debt will need to be serviced, and the central banks will lower
interest rates and ease up on the money supply.
As the world's central banks flood the global economy with their depreciating
currencies, investors move increasingly toward real assets -- buying gold, silver,
oil, gas, and other commodities. And the futures markets rise as a result.
My subscribers and I are positioning ourselves right now to make incredible
profits as commodities continue to increase in price. And this is only the beginning!
Futures contracts give us tremendous leverage that can lead to huge profits,
even if the price move of the underlying commodity is only modest. For instance,
in early 2006 you could have purchased a contract of August gold, controlling
100 ounces of the yellow metal, with just a $1,200 margin deposit.
If gold went up by only $10 an ounce, your 100 ounces would have gained
$1,000 in value, giving you a $1,000 profit on a $1,200 investment, for an 83% gain.
Even if some futures markets don't rise, we can still make a handsome
profit, because with a futures contract, you can make money whether the price
goes up or down. We can buy long and sell at a higher price later for a profit.
Or we can sell short and then buy back lower later for a profit. In my McMaster
Online service, we use proactive stop placements to limit our downside risk in
the trades we are in.
up 92.46%!

The futures markets have just entered the second phase of their bull market
This is the phase where the public is about to catch on, and money can
often be made much more quickly. Pushing these markets to new highs is the
energy crunch, unstable world climate and weather, depreciating currencies,
war, and many more bullish factors -- including huge demand emanating from
China, India, Russia, and East Europe.
An important consideration is everything in the world is energy dependent.
Energy is used to fuel our vehicles, heat our homes, manufacture products,
even to irrigate and fertilize crops. But U.S. production of oil reached its
peak in 1971, over 30 years ago.
World oil production is expected to reach peak capacity in 2007. That
spells the end of cheap oil: you have to dig deeper and pump harder to get the
oil out of the ground, and so production costs -- and oil prices -- go higher.
Consumption of oil will continue to increase substantially, especially as
China's and India's demand for energy mushrooms. Meanwhile, global oil production
continues to slide, and hurricanes wreck oil production in the Gulf of Mexico.
The result: any and all commodities tied to energy will increase in value
-- and that encompasses just about every commodity on the planet!
It's already started to happen -- just look at the price of gas. By this
time next year, we could be paying as much as $4 to $5 a gallon at the pumps.
Which direction do you think the price of food will go next? You’re right! It’s only going to go higher…
In addition to the "energy" commodities that have already boomed in the
2005-2006 leg of the commodities bull market, now agricultural commodities such
as soybeans, soybean meal, soybean oil, OJ, cotton, coffee, cocoa, sugar, and
many more commodities will become more valuable.
These agricultural commodities require energy used to make fertilizer . . .
energy to fuel tractors, combines, and other farm machinery . . . and energy
to pump water to irrigate crops. The escalating costs to grow and produce corn,
rice, and other protein gold crops will make their prices rise to new highs.
In addition, a significant climatic shift threatens to devastate crops --
and drive agricultural commodities through the roof.
letter_12_06_revised_28pg 12/14/06 5:12 PM Page 9
Despite global warming, these climate shifts are unpredictable. Yes, some
areas are getting hotter. But others are actually having unexpected cold snaps.
In Ukraine, the port at Odessa froze over last winter for the first time in
500 years, making it impossible to export grain by boat.
I know, because I saw the harbor in Odessa, Ukraine in person, while I
was there to check on the region's vital wheat crop. You see, I don't just get
my research data from a computer: I spend a significant amount of my time
traveling the world, so I can see first-hand the markets in which I trade.
In the past 6 months alone, I have visited Singapore, Malaysia, New Zealand,
Latvia, Austria, Ukraine, and Switzerland to assess their major commodities
markets in person. This gives me a feel for the markets and a global perspective
that most traders and investors sometimes lack (90% of Americans don't have
a passport).
Or invest in these commodities right now — while they’re still on bottom —
just about to burst to new highs…
China and India, in their industrialization, have a voracious appetite for
industrial commodities like lumber and palladium. These and many other commodities
are on bottom and have not moved up yet.
China will likely introduce a currency convertible into gold. The new
Chinese currency could replace the U.S. dollar as the world's dominant currency,
causing a further decline in our dollars.
The Islamic community, with a billion members worldwide, wants a gold
currency. Malaysia is working on establishing a gold dinar. The Russian ruble
is on the rebound. And Euros are already 37% of global commerce.
I think the U.S. dollar will be replaced, or at least share its role as an
international reserve currency, with other nations -- Euroland, Russia, Japan,
and China -- between now and 2012. That factor is a huge plus for commodities
over the long term, because when the U.S. dollar falls, commodity prices rise.
Increasingly, Asia, Europe, Africa, and even Latin America see the U.S. as
a military aggressor and a bully. This will make them reluctant to buy further
U.S. debt denominated in U.S. dollars.
The current federal deficit is $296 billion. If this deficit is not funded
internationally, the Fed must print more money, sending the dollar lower and
commodities higher.

To slow inflation, the central banks of the world are beginning to raise
interest rates and slow down the money supply. When it's time to elect a new
president, the Fed will increase America's money supply and lower interest
rates to pay down debt and curb inflation -- all of which bodes ill for the
U.S. dollar, but is bullish for commodities.
So in the big picture, there are still bargains out there for us to make
huge profits. The great bull market in all basic commodities is just in its
infant stage.
Six futures that are about to skyrocket before your eyes…
Gold -- From 2001 through 2006, gold
has made a meteoric rise in price
-- going from $255 an ounce to over
$700 an ounce, before pulling back
closer to around $650!
The decline in South African
gold mining, the decrease in gold mine
supplies globally, and the surging gold
jewelry market in China and India are
positive fundamentals long-term. Germany
and Islamic nations are increasing
their purchases not only of gold, but of silver and platinum both in the
private and public sectors.
Wars, too, are inflationary and cause the price of gold to rise. As
the War in Iraq and Afghanistan continues, it will help push gold higher.
A wider Middle East war only makes precious metals move up more.
Like oil, gold is a limited resource, and once it's bought up, prices
can only go higher. The market cap of all gold that is above ground, including
central bank reserves, is equal to only 1.4% of global financial assets.
Gold is on the rise (see chart), and what we've seen so far is only
the beginning of the new bull market in the yellow metal. Gold will
continue to climb as the world's central banks all depreciate the value
of their currencies, and particularly as the US dollar falls.
It's going to take a lot more money created by the central banks of
the world to prevent a large debt contraction -- in other words, more
inflation and lower interest rates to service the debt internationally.
This is bullish for the precious metals -- gold, silver, and platinum.

Crude oil and unleaded gas -- This is the biggest no-brainer of them
all. Oil and gas prices will continue to rise. The U.S. has not built
any new refineries for decades.
Energy prices are going to go much higher than they are now. I
think that $100 a barrel crude oil is on the horizon, along with $5 per
gallon gasoline.
Money invested in these markets today can triple, quadruple . . .
who knows how much it will return. And here's why. . . .
Energy prices have run up dramatically over the last couple of years.
But two factors virtually guarantee that oil and unleaded gas prices are
heading even higher.
First, China's growing need for energy. China is the world's second-
largest consumer of oil behind the U.S. They also consume 30% of the
world's coal and 40% of its steel. And the Chinese are just discovering
their love affair with the automobile.
China has been the source for about 40% of world oil demand in the
last 4 years. The Chinese oil demand is expected to double by 2020.
Second, unsteady oil production from unstable and hostile nations
and the War in Iraq have made the U.S. the sworn enemy of this important
oil-exporting nation.
Saudi Arabia, where terrorism has already struck, is a question
mark. Iran is restarting its nuclear program. Venezuela and Bolivia are
hostile to the U.S, too. Oil workers have been kidnapped in Nigeria.
North Korea is threatening the world with nuclear capability. Their
leader, Kim Jong-il, in 2006 fired several test missiles, openly defying
the United States. If hostile nations target attacks -- nuclear or other-
wise -- against pipelines, wells, or refineries, crude oil prices will go
through the roof. We saw evidence of this when Hezbollah fired missiles
from Lebanon into Israel in July, 2006. Oil prices went through the roof!
Plus, there could be as many as 21 tropical storms during any U.S.
hurricane season. All this makes the oil markets nervous.
OPEC says it will not be able to meet the oil demand from the West
in 10-15 years. America consumes 6 barrels of oil for every 1 barrel it
finds. Globally, every 12 days, a billion barrels of oil are consumed,
while only 30 million barrels of oil are discovered.

Soybeans -– The world's demand for protein and for feed is increasing.
This means soybeans, the "king of commodities", will probably demonstrate
the greatest relative strength in the protein gold complex as time goes on.
An increasingly unstable and unpredictable climate threatens all
crops. Soybean rust is already an ongoing problem in Brazil and the U.S.
Add to that the fact that for the first three months of 2006, an estimated
286 tornadoes hit the U.S. vs. an average of 70 for the same three-month
period over the past 3 years.
As our world is becoming increasingly unstable, smart investors are
opting for the grounded investment, in and profitable trading of, commodities.
Plus, we are now in the autumn of the year when the soybean complex
bottoms at harvest. So, this is a prime opportunity to purchase soybeans
when the market is on bottom. The wily Chinese traders are buying now.
Join me and let's buy with them.
Coffee -– Coffee had been under consistent selling pressure into July,
2006. But coffee is showing signs of bottoming now. Coffee stocks have
been declining around the world. Consumption this year should be about
117 million bags, causing a further draw down in stocks.
So we have the opportunity to buy coffee right at the bottom and
make huge profits. When the timing is right, I'll show you how to make
handsome profits trading coffee.
Cotton –- Cotton is priced now where it was in the early 1990s. In other
words, cotton is cheap, on the bargain basement counter. We want to buy
low and sell high.
For 2006-2007, world cotton production is projected at 114 million
tons against consumption of 121 million tons. The Chinese, the largest
buyers of U.S. cotton, are back in the cotton market, buying on weakness.
We will do the same.
Sugar -– Louisiana lost 40% to 50% of its sugar crop due to Hurricanes
Katrina and Rita. Australia lost a quarter of a million tons of its
sugar crop in the March typhoon. Global sugar inventories will be lower
for the third straight year. Russia needs sugar.
Ethanol, a gasoline substitute, is made from sugar. As gasoline climbs
first above $3 and then above $4 a gallon, consumers are increasingly
going to turn to ethanol and other bio-fuels.
More than 40% of gasoline demand in Brazil is supplied by ethanol.

Bio-fuels can reduce carbon emissions by 80% and remove 75% of particulate
matter from auto exhaust smoke. Fortune magazine proclaims, "Ethanol is
the answer to the energy dilemma."
Sugar has already moved up from a low of $1.40 in December, 2003
to a recent high of over $16. But this price move is nothing: sugar is
still only priced where it was in back in 1994. I can remember when
sugar was over $40. Today, the big, smart money is accumulating sugar.
My subscribers and I are joining them.
And one commodity that is sinking…
US stock indexes -– Stocks are in a long-term bear market that will continue
until real yields rise. Plus, the stock indexes have rallied into long-
term resistance from which levels they have turned down.
Moreover, stocks are overvalued, and smart money is moving to the
sidelines or selling short. The public is too bullish on stocks. The U.S.
economy is weakening. The U.S. housing market is shaky. Consumer borrowing
is faltering. Energy prices are going through the roof. These factors put
enormous fundamental pressure on stocks.
The Fed has been tightening. President Bush's popularity ratings are
scraping bottom. All this is negative for the stock market and stock
indexes. If you want to make money in stock indexes, you must short them.
Over the long term, the performance of stocks pales in comparison to
the returns on commodities: since 1959, commodities futures have produced
better annual returns that the stock market.
By the way, I deliberately kept the above analysis short. I can literally
write ten pages on each of the above futures -- detailing precisely what prices
they're expected to hit and why.
All that information would look mighty impressive . . . but it wouldn't
help you make any more money than if I just come out and give you the bottom line.
When it comes down to it, all you really need to know is what to buy . . .
when to buy it . . . and when to sell it.
But, quite frankly, that's a hard pill for most people to swallow. As I
mentioned earlier in this letter, there's a misguided view by most that quantity
equals quality. But that's not my style. I am a bottom line, no nonsense, kind
of guy.
End results are what matter to me. And that's why I streamlined McMaster

letter_12_06_revised_28pg 12/14/06 5:12 PM Page 15

Online to give you just what you need
-- no more and no less.
Why commodity futures?
FIRST, I grew up on a ranch. My
father and grandfathers were ranchers
and farmers. So I've worked with com-
modities all my life.
I have dirt under my fingernails.
I've raised cattle and planted crops.
Commodities are in my blood. My children
and I have raised goats, horses,
llamas, chickens, and cattle. I have
personally owned and run ranches in
Texas, Oklahoma, and Montana.
My mother still resides on the
family homestead that has been in our
family since 1833. Our entire family
owns a huge spread -- thousands of
acres. So, I'm intimately familiar
with every aspect of the commodities
business.
SECOND, futures (commodities) give
you the greatest leverage on earth.
Every time gold moves up a dollar,
you can make $100. A $1 move in crude
oil equates to $1,000 in profits.
The moves are often fast and furious.
Small sums of money can quickly grow
into huge fortunes in a few days.
THIRD, the shenanigans that go
on in the stock market don't occur
in the futures markets. No futures
contract has ever gone bankrupt. Futures
have no crooked CEOs, no corrupt
board of directors, and no "funny"
accounting practices.
FOURTH, futures are simple to
R.E. McMaster calls marketturns months in advance —with uncanny accuracy….
On December 26, 2005, R.E. McMaster completed his market turning points for the first half 2006. The results speak for themselves….
What McMaster said:“Gold will turn on May 17 and on June 8.
What actually happened: Gold topped on May 17, then bottomed on June 14.
What McMaster said:“The oil market will turn on February 16, with an
intermediate turning point also on June 14.”
What actually happened: Oil bottomed on February 16 and bottomed June 14.
What McMaster said:“Turning points for the U.S. dollar index will take place
on January 25 and May 18.”
What actually happened: The dollar bottomed on January 25 and bottomed on May 18.
What McMaster said:“The S&P 500 will have an intermediate turning point on
May 11.”
What actually happened: The S&P 500 made a final high and cratered May 11.
What McMaster said:“The S&P 500 will have an intermediate turning point on May 11.”
What actually happened: The S&P 500 made a final high and cratered May 11.
Note: Not all turning points work. Plus, the market canmake highs and lows that turning points do not forecast.
But about 80% of the time, R.E. McMaster’s turning pointpredictions will alert you when to watch the market for atrend change or acceleration. It’s like taking a hunter into afield quail hunting on some specific days, because the oddsof bagging birds are higher during that time frame.

understand. If gold is going up, it's much simpler and cleaner to just invest in
gold and ride the trend than it is to find a gold mining company to invest in.
FIFTH, commodities are now just beginning to enter the next leg of a
huge, powerful, long-term bull market -- which gives us a prime opportunity to
profit as commodities continue their trend upward.
Predicting the future of futures markets is much like predicting the
weather. But when you've lived with these markets -- I think of them as "bratty
children" -- for almost three decades, as I have, you get a sense of how they
are going to behave.
I have become very comfortable with the futures markets, and that's why
my renewal rates for McMaster Online are more than twice the industry average.
You know that traders would not keep renewing their subscriptions to my service
unless my trades were making them money and they found my perspective invaluable
in their own trading and investing.
Important news for stock traders who trade ETFs
Yes, most McMaster Online members trade futures contracts, especially
commodities. But stock traders who trade Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) also
profit from my service. Here's how:
When you compare daily price action when it occurs at various times in
various months, what happens in commodity futures is tracked almost exactly by
ETFs. That holds true in commodity indexes, gold, silver, crude oil, euros,
and the S&P, for example.
For instance, gold can be tracked with the GLD ETF . . . euros with the
FXE . . . crude oil with IXC, VDE, XLE, and generally with USO. The CRB Index is
mirrored by IGE and IYM. And the S&P can be traded by buying and selling SPY.
The synchronicity between these futures markets and their corresponding
ETFs means you can precisely follow my advice in McMaster Online for trading
these specific markets -- except you trade the ETF instead of a futures contract
if you wish. It's entirely up to you.d.
Can 219 trading systems all be wrong? You bet they can!
No doubt you get bombarded with ads for trading systems that can't fail.
The January 2003 issue of Stock & Commodities magazine listed 219 trading systems
for sale!
letter_12_06_revised_28pg 12/14/06 5:12 PM Page 17
18
Now, if any of these systems really made money over the long term -- why
wouldn't the creators just trade the systems themselves? By contrast, we trade
McMaster Online every day. It is market proven -- not theoretical, not some
"pie in the sky".
I don't have a totally computerized system. Let me fill you in on a little
secret: all traders have access to basically the same information. There's
technical analysis, fundamentals, charting, "insider" news, and on and on.
The traders who come out on top are the ones who work the hardest and
the smartest, and develop an almost "sixth sense" of market movement that lets
us make the best judgments. We have paid our dues in the markets.
After 25 years, I can practically "feel" where the markets are headed.
This "feel" percolates up from all the fundamental, technical, timing, and
market psychological work I do. I have become so accomplished at this that there
is a chapter on me in Ron Schultz's bestselling Harper Business Press book,
Unconventional Wisdom: Twelve Remarkable Innovators Tell How Intuition Can
Revolutionize Decision Making.
What all computerized systems fail to take into account is human emotion
and plain old gut feel. The most important element to successful trading is the
human element -- and that only comes from experience. And I have that in spades!
It takes intuition and judgment based on personal experience to discern which
trend is correct. You have to decide whether you're in a continuation of a trend,
a trend reversal, or simply a trading range. Once you know, you can make money.
It just intuitively feels right -- or it doesn't. It's as natural as put-
ting one foot in front of the other when walking down the hall -- when you've
done it for over 25 years like I have. Bottom line -- I've paid my dues and
have done my homework. You can profit from my hard-earned experience..
There are only two ways to make money as a trader. Which way makes more sense to you?
1. Do it yourself. Make it your primary business and work hard at it every
day. Put in the time, do the studying, put your own money at risk, find a
system that works for you and, with any luck, after ten or so years, if
everything comes together -- you might become an expert trader and make money.
OR
2. Follow the exact plan of a successful, highly-profitable trader with a long-

term track record of making money for others. Just piggy-back my recom-
mendations and trade. My goal with McMaster Online is to show you that
ANYONE CAN MAKE MONEY if they listen to and make the trades I recommend.
I have always said, "The greatest bargain available to man is the low
cost of good advice." That is precisely what you get with McMaster Online.
Imagine spending 2 minutes a day trading instead of 2 hours!
One characteristic that McMaster Online subscribers share is that they're
tired of trying to "beat" the market. They have real jobs, often have families,
and far too many responsibilities to spend all their time analyzing markets and
trying to find profitable trading opportunities.
And quite frankly, most don't want to become trading experts. More
importantly, they've realized that it's harder than it seems. They've learned
that there's a world of difference between a lucky streak during a bull market
-- and making money over the long term in up and down and sideways markets.
My subscribers have had their follies in the market. Now, they just want
to make money -- quickly and effortlessly.
If this describes you, then I invite you to join me right now.
Some key questions about McMaster Online
Q. How much money do I need to start with?
A. Ideally I recommend $15,000. That should be enough to take all of the
trades. But some traders have done extremely well with less than $15,000.
However, I would say that $5,000 is the minimum you should
have to open an account. You can choose your own broker or I can
recommend one to you.
If you use one of my recommended brokers, he and I will do all
the work for you. All you have to do is pay for your "cup of market
coffee every day," so to speak -- nothing more.
Q. Is this day trading? Are there trades every day?
A. No. This is not day trading. And even though I'll send you an e-mail
nearly every day, some days we don't trade.
On days there are no trades, my e-mail will update you on the
letter_12_06_revised_28pg 12/14/06 5:12 PM Page 19
20
trades we're in. I'll tell you whether to take partial profits,
take all your profits, or -- if a trade is moving against us -- to
get out and keep your loss small.
You'll also get a heads up in your daily e-mail. I'll show you
which markets I'm looking at and am likely to get into in coming days.
Q. Do I have to watch the markets throughout the day? Do I have to
understand commodities, futures, and options?
A. No. You don't have to monitor the markets at all. And you don't
need to know the difference between a pork belly and a hog. If you
can read an e-mail or fax, you're qualified.
One client I had only looked at his monthly brokerage statements.
That was it. He didn't follow the markets. He didn't phone in the
orders to his broker. He didn't contact me. He often didn't even
read my daily McMaster Online e-mail! He just had his broker take
ALL the trades.
Q. Why do you only offer 3-month subscriptions?
A. Because I don't want to lock you into any long term agreements. I want
to give you the opportunity to try my trading approach for 3 months.
This should be more than enough time to convince you how
profitable McMaster Online can be. If after 3 months you decide this
isn't for you, you can walk away, without having to worry about any
further obligation.
If for some reason you're unhappy with McMaster Online, you're
protected by my money-back guarantee. Just ask and you'll get a full
refund of the unused portion of your subscription.
More likely, if you want to continue receiving the McMaster Online
e-mails daily, do nothing. We'll automatically extend your subscription
for another three months and conveniently bill your credit card.
I only accept subscriptions through credit cards with the
option to automatically renew your subscription every three months
until you cancel. This is the quickest way for you to continue your
subscription -- and the easiest way for us to do the bookkeeping.
Q. It sounds like you're guaranteeing that I'll make money. Is that true?
letter_12_06_revised_28pg 12/14/06 5:12 PM Page 20
21
A. No. I can't guarantee you'll make money, because I don't know what
you're going to do with the information I give you. I do guarantee
your satisfaction with McMaster Online -- or your money back.
But, it's still up to you to make the trades. As easy as my trades
are to follow, you still have to pull the trigger and make the trades.
However, if you don't want to even do that, one of my recommended
brokers will do it for you. Also, always remember that there is the
risk of loss in trading futures and options.
Q. Why did you start McMaster Online?
A. I had a number of investors ask me to manage their money for them.
But I didn't want to again go through the hassle of registering as
a money manager and being covered up with all that paperwork.
In the past I was a highly successful money manager, but it
became more hassle than it was worth. You see, I hate paperwork.
I like being creative, and analyzing and trading the markets I want
to trade, and recommending trades -- not managing money and becoming
a bureaucratic paper pusher.
With McMaster Online I can focus solely on my trading and making
solid trading recommendations for you. And another reason is because
I like to share. I find it boring and unfulfilling just making money
by myself. I come from a family of educators and ranchers. I am
keeping faith with the teachers in my family!
If you've ever seriously traded, you know it's basically just
you and a computer monitor or two. It gets lonely and boring.
That's why I continue to speak around the world at seminars
and conferences. It gives me the opportunity to meet with my valued
clients, like you, who are profiting from the information I provide.
I get to see first-hand how my forecasts and planning have
literally changed peoples' lives for the better. That motivates me.
And high-priced money managers, who handle billions of dollars
in assets, regularly come to me to learn the best investment oppor-
tunities. Professionals appreciate the importance of being able to pick
up a good trading opportunity they overlooked or missed altogether.
But the "average" investor rarely has an opportunity to see
letter_12_06_revised_28pg 12/14/06 5:12 PM Page 21
22
how a professional trades -- day in and day out. That's why I created
McMaster Online for you.
You’ll gain an almost unfair advantage over other traders as you ride my coattails.
Don't fool yourself into thinking that over the long-term, your chances
of making money on your own as a trader are any better than 50/50. In fact,
they're probably closer to 80/20 against you.
That's why anyone who trades part time can benefit from McMaster Online.
I'm here full time, market-tick-by-market-tick, day-by-day, day-in and day-out,
24/7 -- so you don't have to be.
My market computers are literally only a few feet from my bed. I live and
breathe the markets. I pride myself in being professional on your behalf, as I
bring my nearly three decades of successful trading experience to the table. I
love doing this. And now this is all I do.
It's partly because of emotion that most traders buy and sell at the
wrong time. Or they hold onto losses for way too long. Or they cut their profits
short by selling too soon. Or they use poor money management techniques.
With McMaster Online you don't have to worry about any of that. Even
traders who were up 100% during the tech boom went bust because they didn't
know when to sell.
Don't let that ever happen to you again. It has not happened to me. When
E.F. Hutton rated my work as the top money manager in the nation over a 3-year
period, Hutton computed that I had a "zero probability of ruin."
I do all the hard work for you. You basically just ride my coattails.
There are no systems to learn . . . no rules to follow . . . no charts to read
. . . no seminars to attend . . . no videos to watch. I tell you exactly what
contract to trade, when to buy, and when to sell, how to protect yourself in
the market, so you can maximize your profits and minimize your risk.
You don't need any data feeds or software. You don't need to know a market
top from a market bottom, or a bull market from a bear market. All you need is
an e-mail address or a fax number.
You get clear, easy-to-follow buy and sell signals. I tell you when to
take part of your profits, when to take all of them, and when to cut your
losses short. I tell you how to protect yourself while you are in the trade.

Plus, imagine how much you'll learn from trading and tracking the markets
along with me. You won't miss or overlook great trading opportunities. No
longer will all the stress be on you -- as it is now -- doing it all alone.
And I find it all exciting and fun. And I am hopeful you will too!
Don’t take my word for it. Try McMaster Online yourself.For the next 90 days you can trade and profit like a proven trader.
I've given you my credentials and my profitable track record. I've shown
you how the futures markets are in the midst of a major move. I've shared with
you our recent spectacular profits. And most importantly, I've been honest with
you about what you can expect and what you'll risk.
But I know that the only way for you to see for yourself the kind of
potential magnificent returns that await you is to simply try McMaster Online.
That's why I've created this special offer for you.
First of all, when you try McMaster Online right now,I’ll send you my ground-breaking book on trading —
The Art of the Trade: Mastering the Analytic and IntuitiveElements of Successful Trading
Without a doubt, this is the most important investment
book that you will ever read. In it, I reveal the secrets that
I've gleaned from over two decades of successful trading. Just
look at some of the reviews. . .
"R.E. McMaster's The Art of the Trade may be one of the
most productive investment books written. Regardless of an
investor's time frame, day trader to occasional, the wisdom

what O'Shaugnessy did to investment strategy, showing
investors how to make more money with less effort...”

"This is one of the best books to come along in some time,
written by a veteran trader of 25 years... This book is
written for both the beginning and seasoned trader. Far
from being a vague theoretical treatise, this guidebook
provides trading strategy and money management guidelines
that can be utilized every day. It discusses technical
trading systems and the importance of selecting a system

that is compatible with your personality. Highly recommended."
-- John Hill, Editor, Futures Truth
"This book gives new meaning to the phrase 'Think' before
you trade. In The Art of the Trade, R.E. McMaster, Jr.
explains the psychological and emotional aspects of investing.
McMaster teaches an awareness of these under-appreciated
market 'energies.' His latest book shares his learned
ability to use sound technical strategies, combined with
an intuitive market understanding, that is essential for
successful trading. Realizing and utilizing the psychological
influences on today's stock and commodity markets is indeed
an 'Art' that McMaster has spent years understanding and
perfecting....”

I normally sell The Art of the Trade for $23.95 plus postage and han-
dling. But, when you subscribe to McMaster Online right now -- you'll get it
absolutely FREE. And I'll even pick up the postage and handling charges.
Secondly, if you do me a favor and start your McMaster Onlinetrial within the next 7 days, you’ll get a second FREE bonus —Shortcuts to Investment Success: Investing With Both Sides of
Your Brain (value: $50).
How does accepting your trial subscription in 7 days do me a
favor? I would much rather have my office staff helping me
research trades than processing orders.
I don't want orders to trickle in over a couple of months, and have to stop
trading to process them. I'd rather get it all done at once so we can all focus
on the trades. So, to encourage you to help me, I'll send you this "Cliff Notes"
of my successful trading methodology so you can apply it to your trading.
There are vital chapters on Money, Money Management, Methodology, Men,
Mentality, Measure of Consistency, Minimal Emotional Charge and Mastery of
Self. If you trade or invest on your own -- you must have this book in your
trading library!
Finally, your satisfaction is GUARANTEED!
I'm extremely confident that if you follow my trades, you'll make money.
In fact, much more than you've ever made as a trader. And you'll keep it.

But if you're ever dissatisfied with the service, simply ask for your money
back, and you'll get a full refund on the unused portion of your subscription.
Plus, you can keep The Art of the Trade and Investing with Both Sides of Your
Brain as my gifts to you.
What does it all cost? Far less than you may think.
My colleagues have begged me for years to start a hedge fund, and if I
did, I'd be taking up to 30% of the profits you make on my trades.
Others have asked me to manage their money. If I went back to that again
(and I don't want to), the minimum account size would be $200,000 with a 2%
management fee -- so you'd be paying $4,000 a year for my trades.
But McMaster Online gives you ALL my recommendations for a tiny fraction
of that fee. Subscribe right now, and you get everything for only $32.33 a
month for a 3-month subscription.
That comes out to a tiny bit more than a dollar a day -- less than the
price of your morning coffee.
So don't wait. Activate your Charter Subscription right now. Pick up the
phone and call us toll-free at 1-800-511-5104.
Yours for more profitable trading,

P.S.Last year at this time, when I last took onboard a few additional
subscribers to my McMaster Online service, I wrote a letter similar
to the one you've just read.
That letter started off, "The huge ongoing bull market in basic
commodities will continue as the demand for energy and industrial
commodities increases from China and India. Plus, ongoing global
depreciation of all currencies will send gold's price even higher in
the near future."
Bingo! I was 100% correct! Dead-eye accurate analysis like this
is how I'm able to help my subscribers make profits of 153% in 14
letter_12_06_revised_28pg 12/14/06 5:12 PM Page 25

days . . . 160% in 9 days . . . and 162% in 32 days.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is available to you right now as
futures continue to rally from their 60-year cycle low. Over the next
year, I expect bull markets in key currencies . . . in gold, silver,
and palladium . . . more big profitable swing moves in crude oil,
heating oil, natural gas, and unleaded gas . . . a big bull market in
soybeans and soybean oil . . . and bull markets in cotton, corn, coffee,
sugar, cocoa, and OJ.
The opportunities to profit are endless. I invite you to join
us and to start profiting from these markets now as we have over the
past three years.
P.P.S. I only have room for a few new subscribers. After that, no one
else will be allowed to subscribe. In order for all of us to get our
trades executed effectively, I can only have a modest subscriber base.
I didn't mention this fact sooner because I didn't want you to
think that I was pressuring you to subscribe now -- or think this is
some sort of sales gimmick. I'm telling you now because if you've read
this far, you're obviously interested in trading with me, and I want
you to know there is a definite cut-off point. First come, first served.
So if you're serious, call me toll-free at 1-800-511-5104 today
-- and try McMaster Online for 3 months with no risk or commitment of
any kind. Remember, McMaster Online costs you only about a dollar a day.
And, you're covered by my guarantee: if you're not 100% satisfied,
you may cancel at any time for a full and prompt refund of the unused
portion of your service. That way, you risk nothing.
Plus, when you call and subscribe within the next 7 days, you get
2 bonus gifts -- The Art of the Trade and Investing with Both Sides
of Your Brain (combined value: $73.95) -- absolutely FREE.
P.P.P.S. Quick-Response Bonus! Reply within the next 7 days and I'll also
send you a THIRD bonus -- a FREE copy of my hot-off-the-press Special
Report, The Next Big Bull Market of the 21st Century. In it, you get
a preview of the markets I'm watching -- and what I see ahead for
gold, silver, oil, gas, beef, soy, corn, cotton, sugar, and many
other commodities. To get you started right away, we'll rush your
free report . . . via fast e-mail . . . as soon as we hear from you!
