Doc's Note: Today I'm sharing an essay from my friend and colleague Matt Badiali. Matt heads up the Stansberry Research Resource Report. As a writer and a geologist, Matt digs up the best recommendations for oil, gas, and metal companies.

Right now, Matt sees an excellent opportunity in an often-overlooked metal. It's a great way to add this commodity to your portfolio and gain some exposure to the natural resource sector.
You probably don't think much about zinc. I know I didn't... other than putting it on my nose to keep the sun off... knowing vaguely that it keeps my boat motor from rusting... and that it is the shiny coating on galvanized metal...

Don't get caught up in the "reach for yield."

It's hard to earn much from your savings today in the typical "safe" investments... The S&P 500 yields about 2%... the 10-year Treasury security is about the same... and you're lucky to collect a few tenths of a percent in a savings account or certificate of deposit.

I love talking to cabbies. Whenever I travel, I interview cab drivers to see how busy the airport and other parts of the city have been.

It's something I call my "Cabbie Index," and it has helped me get a good sense of how our economy is doing. And it's more than just drivers...

Doc's note: When I recommend a stock, I focus on income and the company's long history of growing revenues... These businesses will help you generate safe and steady income over time. They should make up what I call the "backbone" of your portfolio.

Of course, these backbone stocks aren't the only way to succeed as an investor...

Fifteen years ago, an automated phone survey helped create a brand-new disease...

The questions were simple... How many times do you need to urinate? How many times do you have a sudden urge to go?

Doc's note: This essay comes to you from Matt Badiali, editor of the Stansberry Research Resource Report, excerpted from the September 21 Growth Stock Wire.

It's about a huge bull market that most investors are completely missing. After I read it, I had to share...

How long can humans live?

A new study published in the leading journal Nature claims that we have a "maximum limit" on our life span...

It's my busiest harvest yet...

In September and October, grape harvests come in – called the "crush." These new grapes will soon be turned into wine. And in a few weeks or months, wineries start putting them in barrels.

Everybody hates "The Greeks"...

The vast majority of individual investors – perhaps 90% of them – will never trade options. And the No. 1 excuse is "it's too complicated." They think the required math is too complex and intimidating.
