An extra $168,043.36 is a lot of money. You could buy yourself a retirement or vacation cottage in at least nine different places in Canada for that. You could remodel your current house with a new bedroom, bath, and walk-in closet twice over. Do you have a $100,000 mortgage at 4.5% or thereabouts? Wipe that out and you’ll erase a 4.5% debt — that’s a better return than GICs or high-quality bonds. You could even buy yourself one of four private islands in the USA, Ireland, Ontario or British Columbia. And if an island isn’t for you, there are lots of 40- and even 44-foot sailboats available at that price, too. You could cruise around the world.

I’m sure you can think of more possibilities.

But the key point is … … you could be enjoying that $168,043.36 in extra cash just five years from today. One of the first steps is to stop making some critical investing mistakes. Give me just 5 minutes, and I’ll show you how winning consistently as an investor comes down to NOT making common mistakes. Avoid errors and you’ll stop being mystified, angry, or scared about how you’re going to enjoy your life and retirement.

For example, have you ever made a hasty investment? One where you can’t answer a well-researched “Yes!” to any of the following:

Is this company truly a first mover in important and emerging industries?

Does it have visionary leadership and smart backing?

Does it have real and identifiable competitive advantages?

How about the stock performance? Has it performed well in the past?

You see, if you’ve ever wondered why one person can create wealth and happiness for his or her family, while another with a similar background stays penniless and frustrated …

… then I’ve just unlocked some huge secrets for you.

Because once you avoid these four mistakes, your Canadian investment results could start looking like these ones …

You’ll also be positioned to enjoy the life-changing benefits of U.S. winners like these …

And getting it right is easier than you think. You can enjoy these kinds of returns in a couple of hours each month.

I realize that might seem impossible. But it’s actually pretty simple: Get some Foolish help to do all that hard research for you. Perhaps you’ve heard of Motley Fool Canada already? Our Stock Advisor Canada service has racked up quite a reputation for delivering results since 2013 here in the Great White North. And our American parent company’s been famous since 1993 for the motto “To help the world invest – better.” But before I tell you more about Foolish methods and how they work, I should explain a bit more about the results you get. That extra $168,043.36 in just five years I just mentioned? That’s the difference between a 29.0% return and an 13.6% return. And if you’d have joined Stock Advisor Canada in October 2013, you could have enjoyed returns like that. Let me show you the math right here:

I’m sure you’d rather retire with an extra $674,184.54 (and nearly $1.3 million) 10 years from today. After all, just imagine how much better life would be …

You’d get to spend more time with family and friends. Birthdays, anniversaries, championship softball games, a young relative’s first steps or words … you could be there for all of them, even if they live on the other side of the country. Or the world, for that matter. And speaking of travel, you’d be free to get away from it all pretty much wherever you please. Pick a spot on the map with a strange-sounding name and go for it. And of course, there’s the big one … You’d get to live life on your terms. The biggest status symbol of all is the free time to pursue your greatest passions. That’s a proper retirement – one you’ve earned. Our very real Stock Advisor Canada track record has proven it’s possible. You see, there’s a whole lot more to investing than simply dumping your money into a mutual fund (even a “safe” index fund) and walking away. We show you how to take control of your money and make better financial decisions now and for the long run. And best of all, we do it in plain English even your six-year-old could understand. In fact, it’s incredibly simple and easy to steadily improve your net worth when you have the right partner to make it happen.

How To Potentially Beat The Market by 113%

You might think beating Canada’s benchmark index by more than 2 to 1 is very risky or time consuming. Isn’t a 29% return more than twice as hard to get as an 13.6% return? Nothing could be farther from the truth. That’s because smart investing can reduce your risk. When you’re not betting on long shots or companies that “seem” stable when they aren’t, losers aren’t as likely to pop up in your portfolio. And when you have a scorecard to objectively measure which companies are well-positioned for long-term growth, it makes investing both fun and easy. You see, a scorecard makes everything simple. You won’t be awake at night worrying about what’s going to happen next. Instead, you’ll be quietly confident knowing all the bases have been covered on each and every one of your picks. Even if the market has a bad day — or even a bad week or month — you can rest assured that Motley Fool analysts are constantly monitoring the news regarding each recommended company.

Each pick could deliver potential results like these:

That’s how you could get 29% on your money instead of a paltry 13.6%.

Yes, that’s 113% better than the S&P/TSX Composite stock index. And a result like this could mean hundreds of thousands of extra retirement dollars adding up in your account. Let me explain exactly how Stock Advisor Canada works so it all makes sense …

What You Get In A Month of Four (Maybe Five) Foolish Wednesdays

Our flagship newsletter Stock Advisor Canada provides high-quality stock recommendations, education, and insight into both the Canadian and American stock markets. As a guiding principle, we ask ourselves the question, “What would I expect if I were a member?” To that end, transparency is very important to us. That’s why you’ll get a valuable update each week.

Let me put everything together in a simple table for you:

See how you get a complete suite of advice each month? And yet you’re not overloaded at any one time. You’ll get a steady stream of the next hand-picked — and potentially market-crushing — stocks we love the most. You’ll also be kept updated on the latest and most crucial news. In fact, our Stock Advisor Canada scorecard tracks each company with BBN, Buy, Sell or Hold next to the company name in real time. You’ll be notified immediately by email if the time comes to sell a stock for a particular reason. That’s how we make accountability a critical part of Stock Advisor Canada. You’ll see exactly how our recommended stocks are performing at any given moment. That kind of transparency isn’t something we take lightly. You see, we measure the performance of each pick not just in absolute terms, but also relative to the S&P/TSX Composite Index (Canada’s benchmark index). So you’ll instantly see if a pick is outperforming the market since we recommended it. And by how much. Every day. All day. Quite frankly, I don’t think anyone else provides such crystal-clear information at your fingertips. It’s dead simple to see what’s happening every time you log in. The end result is that you’ll always know what to do about every stock we recommend. You’ll be fully informed at all times. And not just about the latest potential market-beating recommendations, of course. We also bring you our very best ideas …

25 More Ways To Get Rich Slowly With Motley Fool Canada

The Motley Fool’s goal is to help Canadians invest — better. We want to help you become better investors. That’s why we also provide you with a comprehensive list of special reports and guides on top of the regular Wednesday updates. Stock Advisor Canada has more than 25 different special resources available for you to learn and hopefully profit from right now. Let me list some of my favourites for you …

Canada’s Answer to Amazon.com: One Under-the-Radar E-Commerce Powerhouse that Could Forever Change How Business is Done

Here’s a Canadian rule-breaker that’s already changing the way business is done. It hits on every one of the market-busting traits we look for in high-growth stocks. And boy has it delivered profits! In fact, we’re already up 413.2% since March 2016 and we don’t think it’s done yet. That’s why we still rate it a Buy on our Stock Advisor Canada scorecard. Yes, it’s not too late. You can still get in on this one. It’s an excellent candidate for potentially helping you make that extra $168,043.36 in 5 years … starting today.

Your Crypto Blueprint and Our Top Blockchain Stock Right Now

These days you can’t tune into the financial media without a mention of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. And blockchains too. It’s become a craze. Unfortunately, a lot of investors are foolishly (not Foolishly) getting caught up in the hype. That’s why we wrote this report. We offer our take on the entire cryptocurrency phenomenon. We explain the five reasons why crypto tokens are a big deal, plus the difference between cryptocurrencies and the underlying blockchain technology that drives them. We also give you our top blockchain-related stock. It’s currently a Buy on the Stock Advisor Canada scorecard and up 27.7% as I write this. Even better, it’s just getting started — this one might turn out to be an even bigger winner than Canada’s answer to Amazon.

The Final Piece of the Puzzle: The Canadian Investor’s Guide to the Artificial Intelligence Revolution

There’s a very special Canadian company building world-class artificial intelligence (AI) technology opportunities right now. You might be surprised to learn that the global AI market is projected to be worth $59.7 billion by 2025. That’s more than 14 times bigger than today. Here’s why: Google processes petabytes of data each day. eBay and PayPal handle millions of transactions each day. Those numbers are only going up in the future. Now think about the thousands of other growing companies also juggling digital mountains of data day after day. They all need the expertise provided by our top pick in this space. You see, most companies aren’t prepared to process the huge amount of information that swirls around their enterprises. So whoever’s best positioned to help them collect, manage, analyze, and build data strategies is going to be a huge winner. Our pick here is already recognized as a “global go-to leader” in doing just that. And that’s a good reason why we’re already up 24.4% in this pick. It’s still a Buy, so why let it get away from you?

The Ultimate Wireless Winner: One Stock to Profit Off the Smartphone Super-Trend

We also love companies that follow the tollbooth method of collecting regular payments — or “rent” — from existing assets. It’s a license to print cash month-after-month and year-after-year. Traditionally, these companies have been oil or gas pipeline ventures. However, the phrase “data is the new oil” has been cropping up more and more in the media. That’s why data companies resembling pipelines are emerging as one of the most profitable investment opportunities in the unstoppable smartphone super-trend. This pick’s up 20.2% so far. And we believe its attractive and growing dividend will only add to its total returns over the next five to 10 years. Don’t miss out!

The New Superbrand “Hidden in Plain Sight”

This pick is almost like a good friend by now. That’s because it’s a story that we’ve been happy to talk about since we first recommended it back in December 2013. We’ve even purchased it three times in Motley Fool Canada’s real money portfolio. It’s that good a “compounding machine.” We love this company’s royalty-collection business model, expanding growth avenues, and highly Foolish management team. I suspect you’ll agree with us once you read the special report we’ve prepared. Especially when you realize that as I write this, we’re up 66.5% on it already (again) with more gains likely to come.

Elon Musk’s Last Stand: Canada’s Top Stock for the New-Age Space Race

Everyone knows who Elon Musk is. But not everyone knows which companies he needs to help make his titanic space dreams come true. Our pick here is a global leader in the commercial communication satellite industry, space robotics, space-based and airborne surveillance solutions, satellite ground stations, and geospatial information services too. If that sounds like quite a laundry list of high-tech space know-how, then you’ll understand why this one’s another Buy on our scorecard. You’ve probably never heard of this Canadian wonder-company. And yet it’s poised to benefit tremendously as Musk ignites a genuine modern-day race to space.

3 Top Marijuana Stocks for Investors Today

Market research and consulting firm Ameri Research projects that the global marijuana market will grow to $63.5 billion by 2024. The Canadian part of the marijuana industry is a red-hot contributor to this growing trend. That’s why we compiled our thoughts on the top three options for long-term investors seeking outsized growth stock profits. This is a risky sector, so be careful. However, our three picks here steer clear of the shady “fly by night” ventures you’ll want to avoid. Get in on the explosive pot industry safely and securely if you dare. Triple-, maybe even quadruple-digit gains are possible here, if you play your cards right. But that’s not all …

The Quickest & Easiest Way to Get Canadian Investment Smarts

We’ve also collected our wise investment advice written especially for Canadians. There are no picks in these reports. Instead, we talk pure investment strategy and tactics. That’s because stock picks are only part of the battle. These reports help you plan ahead for a richer, happier future. It’s the Foolish way to wisdom and prosperity. Just look at what we have for you …

The Motley Fool Canada Retirement Guidebook

It’s no secret that retirement’s lurking one day in your future. Why not be prepared? You’ll discover why there’s more room for “safe” retirement money than ever. Plus how young workers can benefit right now. We’ll also show you ways to ensure your RRSP makes a very material difference to your long-term savings.

Wealth for a Lifetime: 11 Lessons We Learned from Warren Buffett

Aside from the vast wealth he’s accumulated for himself and countless others, perhaps the greatest thing about Warren Buffett is the wisdom he’s accumulated. You see, investing better is more than just great stock recommendations. Buffett loves it when his stocks plummet, for one thing. This report also reveals his secret weapon, and why he has a love-hate relationship with index funds. You’ll also learn the one piece of his advice most people can’t follow (even after they learn what it is). There’s much more, but I should stop now and make one thing clear … Even though I’m a huge Warren Buffett admirer, I’m as Canadian as you are. Let me explain who I am …

Meet the Motley Fool Canada Team

My name is Iain Butler. I’m the Chief Investment Advisor for The Motley Fool Canada and the Lead Advisor for our flagship Stock Advisor Canada product. Before joining the Fool, I was a “buy-side” analyst. That means I’m well-versed in our Canadian market moods and trends with years of experience behind me. That’s why you may have seen me on BNN discussing my favourite growth stocks. I’ve been featured in our national newspaper The Globe & Mail too. You see, there’s nothing I enjoy more than scouring the market for interesting businesses at reasonable prices with an appealing risk/reward relationship. It’s the very essence of Foolishness. In fact, since joining the Fool in 2012, I dedicate each day to spreading Foolishness throughout this great country! And thankfully I have some talented colleagues at my side. Taylor Muckerman is the Associate GM for Motley Fool Canada and a Stock Advisor Canada analyst too. He started at the Fool in 2012 and brings several years of investing experience to the table. You may have heard Taylor talking stocks each month on Boston’s WRKO radio, or perhaps seen him being interviewed by the financial media on the likes of Fox Business, CNBC Asia, or even Canada’s own BNN. And Bryan White has been around even longer. He started with the Fool in 2008 and was a member of the Fool’s first Analyst Development Program (ADP). That made him one of the company’s most prominent analysts and researchers, especially when he worked alongside, David and Tom Gardner, of our American flagship Motley Fool service. It’s safe to say that he’s highly experienced with the Fool’s investment philosophy. So exactly what does that Foolish philosophy translate into, anyway?

What’s In It For You

If you’re like most people, you’re investing so you can take control of your financial future. You want your money to work for you, not the other way around. And you’d love to give yourself and your family some real financial security and freedom, right? Solving that problem requires well-researched investing that avoids the four critical mistakes I highlighted earlier. Never again will you lose money because you bought a company that wasn’t a real or potential first-mover in important, emerging industries. A company lacking visionary leadership, smart backing, or real competitive advantages. A company plagued by a dismal stock performance you overlooked or ignored because of wishful thinking. Those mistakes will belong firmly in your past if you become a Fool. And that’s why we think it’s one of the best ways to create the wealth you need. Yet you might be wondering why Motley Fool Canada is one of the best places to get investing advice. And why right now is the right time to join. Let me help you … Think back to one of those rare moments when you felt on top of the world after a big win of some kind. Any kind! You were fearless and certain and able to conquer anything. Then it was gone. You went back to doing things the hard way. That meant struggling for gains, getting frustrated at your returns and possibly even losing lots of money. It doesn’t have to be like that. Stock Advisor Canada can help you transform your life and make your financial dreams come true for the long term … one Wednesday at a time. You’ll get more than just weekly investment picks and articles, of course. We’ll give you big ideas based on the biggest future trends we can find. Plus clever strategies and tactics to take advantage of Canadian investment and regulatory quirks, too. In short, we want you to be the wisest investing Fool in your neighbourhood.

Remember, the average return of all our picks is 29.0%, losers included, as I write this.

Compare that to the 13.6% return you’d get from following the S&P/TSX Composite stock index and we’re doing 113% better. So rather than wonder if you can afford to become a Stock Advisor Canada member … … the real question is whether you can afford NOT to join us. Our performance means you’d be $168,043.36 ahead on a $100,000 portfolio after five years. If the trend continues, you could be ahead $674,184.54 after 10 years. In fact, you’d have $1,276,136.42 from that $100,000 in just 10 years from now. Wouldn’t it be nice to retire as a millionaire? You bet it would. Imagine the freedom to travel whenever and wherever you like … an extra car or a boat … charitable donations “just because you can” … making sure your youngest family members get the education they deserve … or anything else you wanted. It would be totally up to you. Now that’s the power of Foolish investing.

Here’s What You Get As A Stock Advisor Canada Member

Let me summarize what’s on tap when you join Stock Investor Canada. It’s a complete service, and you’ll have everything you need to hopefully start Foolishly beating the market by 113%. You’ll get immediate access to everything on our exclusive password-protected, members-only website including … Let me elaborate on that last point … Become a Stock Advisor Canada member today, and you’ll gain access to ALL our investing analysis, past recommendations, and special reports and guides. All that, and you can receive your membership fee back up to 30 days after joining. I don’t think there’s many financial advisors giving free advice for 30 days while offering a transparent history of every recommendation they’ve made since they started in 2013. That’s why this is such a unique offer. Because if you aren’t satisfied with Stock Advisor Canada for any reason, you can simply cancel your subscription and get your membership fee back. No questions asked! You’ll be welcome to keep a copy of all the investing guides I’ve talked about too. They’re yours as a gift for giving us a try. Yes, you read that correctly. You can review and even profit from every recent Stock Advisor Canada stock pick, see every stock we’ve ever recommended, download every special report, and interact with our advisors and analysts on our “members-only” website for up to 30 days … … and you’ll still receive a full refund of your membership fee if you aren’t 100% satisfied. Doesn’t that sound fair to you? I sure hope so. And by now I know you’re wondering what you’re going to pay for all this great stuff. Since our advice has a track record for delivering an extra $168,043.36 on a $100,000 portfolio in five years, we could charge you a dollar a day and it would be well worth it. Wouldn’t $365 each year be a fair price to pay for everything I’ve shown you here? But you’re not going to pay that much. Not today. If you join Stock Advisor Canada right now, I’ll give you the best deal possible. You see, at normal prices Stock Advisor Canada is $299 for a year and $598 for two years. I can do better than that, though. Join now and I’ll give you two years of membership for just $179. That’s less than 25 cents a day. You’d spend more than that on a bus ticket. Or even a cheap cup of coffee. Quite frankly, it’s hard to think of anything useful that costs you under 25 cents a day … … and yet Stock Advisor Canada could completely transform your life with investing picks and a roadmap to a hopefully wealthier, happier retirement. Remember, you get 30 days to kick the tires and look at everything we offer. You can ask questions on the forum, download every special report and read every word we’ve written on our members-only website. All for just 25 cents a day.

Here’s what some of your fellow investors who’ve already joined us have to say…

Go ahead, give us a try.

Why lose money, or just lag behind, when you could be beating the market by more than 2-to-1?

I look forward to seeing you inside Stock Advisor Canada.

To you and your family’s wealth,

Iain Butler, CFA

Chief Investment Advisor of Motley Fool Canada and Lead Advisor of Stock Advisor Canada
