How to strike gold every time…

jim-samsonMost people go about it all wrong—they rush to the new, shiny thing just like everyone else and try to beat out the crowd to get the most of it.

The 49ers did it in the gold rush, but only the few miners who actually managed to strike it big time made the vast amounts of money that thousands upon thousands were chasing.

However, one man made his fortune whether or not gold was struck. His secret has held true throughout time, and we can use it to make our fortunes in the stock market…

Making a fortune from the gold rush didn’t mean mining for gold for Levi Strauss, and making a fortune from the oil American oil rush didn’t just mean digging for oil for John Rockefeller.

Instead, those two men built empires by providing necessities to the people who actually were doing the mining and digging.

And I’d say it worked out pretty well for them…

As for Levi Strauss, just go to the mall and you’ll see how his empire is still alive and well by counting the number of people wearing his denim jeans.

And for John Rockefeller, his fortune upon his death accounted for 1.5% of the entire nation’s economy…!

The strategies of these 2 men were both genius and practical, and are still viable today in many respects.

Strauss provided the equipment and attire that all the miners needed, so he got paid whether or not gold was found. Rockefeller provided the barrels and railways the oil seekers needed, so he got paid no matter who found the oil.

Now you have to decide who you are going to be…

Will you be a 49er mining for gold, or an oil-crazed digger trying to beat out the masses with luck? Or will you be a Strauss and Rockefeller profiting no matter what?

Opportunities to at least invest in the latter are continuously popping up all over the place.

For example, the smartphone industry has blown up recently with nearly everyone carrying one around in their pocket or purse these days. But what would you rather bet on: one of the many smartphone makers or a company who provides something that all smartphones need?

Sure, you could have gotten lucky and picked out the right smartphone manufacturer, but the much easier route was to bet on Avago Technologies (AVGO), which climbed from $30 a share all the way up to $130 a share because it provides the radio equipment for smart phones.

You may not be in the position to provide mining equipment, or oil barrels and railways, or radio equipment for smartphones, but you can invest in the companies that act as the modern-day Strauss and Rockefeller…

And Code Breaker could even show you the perfect time to invest in those companies.
