The editor of Insiders Plus explains, "Our latest buy recommendation is Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR) -- or Petrobras for short.

"The reason for buying Brazil is clear: It is one of the fastest growing countries in the world and among the best of that group in terms of rule of law and honest financial markets.

"Readers should be aware of my strong feelings about the health hazards of smoking; investors must make their own decision about investing in tobacco companies," says Jack Adamo.

"I'm usually advising investors to avoid garbage, but today I'm advising the opposite," says Jack Adamo, adding, "Waste Management (WM), the largest provider of solid waste disposal in the U.S., is my latest recommendation.

"Microsoft (MSFT) recently reported net income for the quarter of $4.52 billion, or 52 cents a share, up 53% from 34 cents a share in the same period a year earlier," observes Jack Adamo, in his recent bullish review of the software company.

The editor of Insiders Plus explains, "Revenue jumped 22% to $16 billion. This is in contrast to most companies' higher earnings based on cost-cutting with only meager, if any, gains in revenue.

The editor of Insiders Plus explains, "First, we look at Pan American Silver; this is one the steadiest growers I've seen in any industry. It has more than tripled its silver production in the last 8 years. Its stock has trounced the S&P 500 over the last five, ten and twenty years.

"The UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury ProShares (TBT) is a bet on higher long-term interest rates," says Jack Adamo.

Jack Adamo looks to Novatel Wireless (NVTL) as a new buy. In his Insiders Plus newsletter, he assesses the firm's newest products and recent insider buying.

"Novatel provides wireless broadband access solutions for the mobile communications market worldwide. The company offers third generation (3G) wireless PC card and ExpressCard modems, embedded modems, USB modems and other fixed-mobile convergence solutions. It also provides many related support services.

"Novatel recently pulled back from a huge run-up to a near-term high of $14 after announcing a mixed shelf-offering. The market did not like the possibility of earnings dilution from more shares.

"I want to profit from a weak dollar," says Jack Adamo. In Insider Plus newsletter, he adds, "We will do it by adding two newly-launched ETFs -- one for silver, one for gold."

"The huge creation of money in the last year must go somewhere. The Fed is creating yet another bubble to offset the deflation in demand.

The advisor explains, "Sybase is an industry leader in software to manage, analyze and distribute information in the most data-intensive enterprises, such as financial services, telecoms, manufacturing and government.

"To put it concisely: It manages data and makes it available to the many different devices that use it, across the myriad communication protocols that must be traversed to accomplish that.

"Kinder Morgan Energy Partners L.P. (NYSE: KMP) is a paragon of consistency; the stock continues to rise and the company continues to deliver on its expectations," says Jack Adamo.

In his Insiders Plus newsletter, he explains, "The master limited partnership has made great strides in cost controls to compensate for the weak economic environment. When things turn around, it could really take off."

"KMP is one of the largest and most respected pipeline and energy storage LPs in North America. It operates or owns interests in more than 26,000 miles of pipelines and 170 terminals.
