This time last year, I made the BIGGEST SINGLE BET of my entire 25-year investing career.
I publicly committed to investing a total of $250,000 of my own family's real money behind the stock picks Joe Magyer makes for the Motley Fool Pro portfolio.
And today, in response to your many questions, I can announce that Motley Fool Pro will be opening to new members for the first EVER time on Tuesday March 10th 2015. Click here now to ensure you receive your free, priority invitation, hot of the press.
I've personally followed Joe Magyer's stock-picking career for years — I've even bought shares of some of his US recommendations, including Google and Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway.
While I've seen handsome returns in these stocks, most of all I've been blown away as I've watched a stunning 80% of Joe Magyer's Inside Value picks make money for the investors who took his advice.
It's a track record few other investors can match.
So you begin to see just why I'm so confident in Joe Magyer's stock-picking ability.
How Joe's "under the radar" tech ASX stock soared over 30% higher
If you've been following Joe's dispatches from his "boots on the ground" research trip to China, you'll remember him highlighting "under the radar" ASX tech stock Altium (ASX: ALU) as exactly the type of opportunity he focuses on for the Motley Fool Pro portfolio.
Joe told you how the Motley Fool Pro portfolio doubled down on its Altium position in early January, such was his confidence in the company and its future prospects.
As it turns out, that confidence was very well placed…
After releasing outstanding results last week, Altium shares roared higher, providing a quick 31% profit on the Motley Fool Pro portfolio's most recent purchase, and for the Pro members, including me, who followed Joe's exact advice.
The Motley Fool Pro Portfolio — Up 17.7% in less than one year
It's that sort of exceptional stock picking that has seen the Motley Fool Pro portfolio jump 17.7% higher in the 11 months since inception, soundly out-performing the market.
No wonder these specially selected Motley Fool Pro members are happy…
"Joining Pro is the best financial decision I've ever made. I have a lot of confidence in Joe and Matt, and this great one-of-a-kind service."
"I love how easy it is to understand everything that's written minus the jargon. You guys rock… Keep up the good work guys and I'm definitely in for the long haul. My best investment ever!"
"I've recently received a letter saying that my Motley Fool Pro membership will be renewed on March 24 for another year. Is there a better deal for a longer subscription?"
In case you were wondering, the answer to the last question is yes. We'll reveal more when we re-open Motley Fool Pro to new members for the first time ever, on Tuesday March 10th 2015.
Of course, Motley Fool Pro is more than just about great stock picking and outstanding returns — although that obviously helps!
It's a portfolio managed with real money, in real time, in full view of members.
Joe Magyer lets investors like you and me not only know exactly WHAT to buy, but WHEN to buy and at WHAT price.
Motley Fool Pro's Secret Sauce
And then there's Motley Fool Pro's "secret sauce" — portfolio allocation, telling you exactly how to size each position in your overall portfolio!
You've no doubt read about the financial planning scandals engulfing Commonwealth Bank and NAB. It doesn't surprise us — too often financial services are rife with conflicts that stack the deck against individual investors like you and me.
Motley Fool Pro is your chance to fight back. It offers you an open, transparent, all-ASX portfolio solution, where you follow us, but you manage your money, in your own brokerage account.
No conflicts. No catches. No hidden fees. We think of it as professional money management at a fraction of the cost some money managers charge, with the very real potential of continued market-beating returns.
As a sign of our own confidence in Motley Fool Pro, and to 100% ensure we are aligned with you, we have put $1 million of the Motley Fool's own real money behind the Motley Fool Pro portfolio.
And here's the kicker — with our $1 million, we buy our shares in the companies we recommend to you at least two days AFTER we've alerted you to our moves, giving you the chance to get in first, at what could be the very best prices.
In other words, you'll get the chance to mimic Joe Magyer's every move and invest just like the Pros do, getting into positions before we do with our own money.
No other service like this in Australia
To my knowledge, there's no other service like this in Australia.
As you can imagine, I'm thrilled with the performance of my $250,000 investment behind the Motley Fool Pro portfolio. Like our members, I too mimic Motley Fool Pro's every move.
I even go one step further in putting our members first, making my trades, with my own money, at least two days after the Motley Fool Pro portfolio has bought, which works out to be at least four full days after our members are alerted. I doubt whether you get such transparency from many in the financial services industry.
But, this is about you, and your chance to follow along trade for trade as Joe Magyer builds a real money ASX-only stock portfolio.
It's about your chance to confidently grow your wealth over the long term with one of the world's best investors as your guide. Nothing could be simpler or easier…
Tuesday March 10th 2015 — Motley Fool Pro will be opening to new members for the FIRST EVER TIME
On Tuesday March 10th 2015, click here now to ensure you receive a very special invitation to join us on this investing journey, complete with priority "early bird" pricing.
Motley Fool Pro has been closed to new members since launch, almost one year ago.
Tuesday March 10th 2015 marks the first ever opening of this incredibly popular Motley Fool service. Due to the unique nature of the service we need to carefully manage membership levels, and this may be the only time we open Motley Fool Pro to new members in 2015.
Before then, if you have any questions about Motley Fool Pro, Joe Magyer and Matt Joass are on hand to answer them. Here's one example, hot off the presses…
Question: What is the current return on your recommendations? I appreciate that investments are for the long term, but it is useful to see how robust the portfolio is to date, and how well it is beating the market.
Joe's Answer: Motley Fool Pro is up 17.7% in our first year vs. 13.3% by the ASX All Ords, both including dividends. Not that I put too much weight on that — we're focused on long-term returns — but it's a great start.
Be sure to stay tuned. Tuesday March 10th 2015 is just around the corner…
To investing like a Pro,
