The Five Stocks You Have to Own in 2012

An energy play that's poised for a 50% gain - that will pay you more than 9% on your money while you wait ...

A global tech play that has a unique solution to the single-biggest danger that we face in this new Information Age - and that will reward its shareholders with a gain of as much as 99% ....
