About Us


J. Christoph Amberger, President of Hot Stock Confidential

Thank you for visiting the Hot Stock Confidential website.

My name is J. Christoph Amberger. You may already be familiar with my work: I was the Executive Publisher of one of the oldest and most respected international financial newsletters,Taipan, and a good dozen other trading information services… like Cutting Edge… Rogue Trader… WaveStrength…

The editorial teams I developed and the investing and trading systems I helped shape created hundreds of highly profitable recommendations for our readers over the years. (Financial book publisher John Wiley even invited me to write a book on the “Dynamic Market” approach to trading: Hot Trading Secrets, published in 2006.)

The communication technology we spearheaded—we launched the first U.S.-based fax information service in 1995, one of the first financial newsletter websites in 1996, and one of the first investment eletters in 1999—have been widely copied by our colleagues and competitors.

But despite all the technological gizmos we harnessed to get our research and recommendations to our readers, my approach to investing has always been straightforward: Provide you with profitable investment and trading recommendations.

Last year, after 20 years in the financial publishing industry, I decided to build a new kind of information business. I invited the best and brightest members of my team to join me in creating a brand-new electronic financial information resource.

Andrew Snyder takes a no-nonsense approach to investing. Thanks to his analytical insight, education, and proven investment success, the down-to-earth guru is used to people knocking on his door for advice. He has proven time and time again, if you invest wisely you can turn a profit from any situation. Andrew has a tendency to bank triple digit gains while most analysts are still searching for answers. He will always give you the no-spin truth through reliable advice you can bank on.

Laura Cadden was originally part of my management team, responsible for the operations of over a dozen high-carat trading services. Laura’s skills in turning the often self-serving energies of “prima donna” investment gurus to profitable use for their readers served her well. Her own Hot Stock Picks these days often outperform those of her previous “charges”.

But if you’ve arrived at this page, it means you didn’t want to hear about past credentials. You were looking for new ideas… or direction… or a way out of the markets that are crashing around us. I know how difficult it is to watch stock prices fall. To see your retirement portfolio go down by 10%… then 20%… then 50%.

Many investors, especially those with little at stake, are beginning to lose interest in the stock market. I know the next few years are likely to be very tough on my business. I admit I’m worried about the financial security of my family and my customers.

But I also know that the point when investors start actually taking losses… selling stocks for a fraction of what they bought them for… is the time you want to be in the market.

You have shown that you look beyond the commonplace… the mainstream… the obvious… even beyond Wall Street for your investment ideas.

And that’s smart. I don’t know why investors would trust any recommendations coming out of Wall Street. Those money-hungry grubs have managed to rip off investors to the tune of US$4 trillion dollars so far.

The fact is… to get rich from stocks these days, you need a different approach to investing altogether. Credentials, degrees, high-paid jobs with investment banks have proven to be useless when the market turns. What counts now is an almost intuitive approach to stock-picking.

Our mission is to lead you to profit opportunities all around the globe… opportunities in new technologies, new markets, or industries and sectors that are overlooked by the mainstream financial industry—and yet have phenomenal potential to make you a lot of money.

You see, no matter what the state of the economy or market, we believe there are always ways of making money. 

And our team of aggressive, profit-minded analysts, researchers and editors who live, breathe and eat investment opportunities every day of the year are ready to make you wealthy. Unlike their Wall Street counterparts, they are beholden to no one. They have no underwriters to satisfy, no investment banking firms to please. They have only one very clear objective: to help you make money.

Together, we are committed to make your subscription to Hot Stock Confidential the best, most reliable, and all-round most profitable experience you’ve had.

Cordially yours,

Christoph Amberger Signature
