The Tycoon Report

The Bountiful Profit from Nature

Good day everybody! I am in a great mood today. I went jet skiing with my brother yesterday for about an hour down here in Florida, and boy was it an experience. All the salt water flying in your face aside, isn't the ocean absolutely wonderful?

Let me continue on the path that I started on approximately two weeks ago when I introduced some facts on the drug business. To briefly summarize the key points, I had mentioned that 75% of all diseases are not curable … and obviously, by default, 25% are.

For those people who have to live with these chronic conditions (the 75%), they are becoming more and more sick and tired of being sick and tired. In other words, many of them are learning that conventional medicine (e.g. drugs & surgery) are not the answer to long term/chronic health conditions.

These people are turning more towards alternative methods of healing.

As I have stated before, I am 100% convinced that this is the only way to go for a chronic condition. If you choose to stick with conventional medicine for a chronic condition, then we all know what ends up happening.

What happens is that you take a drug to treat the one chronic condition that you have, and by taking that prescription drug over the long term it leads to a brand new chronic condition. This unfortunate cycle keeps happening, and by the time you are a senior citizen you have an entire pill box … and many American seniors have to choose between paying their rents and eating or filling their prescriptions.

We obviously all should know by now who are the ones sitting back smiling while this is all taking place …

… You guessed it, The Drug Companies! You have become and stayed a good and loyal customer, and the CEOs who are making millions of dollars greatly appreciate it.

I want to be perfectly clear I am not saying that there aren't some drugs that can truly help some individuals. I believe that for acute conditions they can be great, but for chronic conditions they are very often not the answer. I also may recommend a drug stock if I believe that I could make you money from it. I am just saying that for long-term conditions, more and more people are beginning to see the light, and therefore are turning to alternative methods of treatment.

All that being said, I want to get right down to it and tell you about a company that focuses on alternative treatments, and which trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol NTY. The price when you read this should be around $21.50 per share,* pending their earnings announcement scheduled for market close Thursday.

I might tell you to trade this if I see a big pop in the price, but plan on holding it as an investment for at least six months.

Let me tell you a little bit about the company. The real name of the company is Nature's Bounty, or NBTY Inc for short.

They are headquartered in Bohemia, New York (about an hour from where I live). NBTY, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, engages in the manufacture, marketing, and retail of nutritional supplements in the United States and around the world.

Several weeks ago, several insiders bought hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of the stock at about $20 per share.

Remember that this company, over the long term, is positioned to collect a lot of business from those suffering from chronic conditions. Add this stock to your portfolio. Hold on to it, and I will keep you posted as to what I will do with it going forward.

Have a great weekend,
