Every once in a while, I like to give all my readers a peek at one of the uncensored video broadcasts I film for my exclusive Heatseekers subscribers.

These video broadcasts, which I send every Monday, contain recommendations of stocks that fall into one of four categories:

1. Banks
2. Buyouts / special situations
3. Infrastructure
4. Real estate

The video I released this past Monday is actually a backdoor play that will help us gain access to one of my favorite sectors, small banks.

Since this is a backdoor play, it doesn’t fall directly into our banks category. It falls into our special situations category. However, it gives us a chance to co-invest with a legend of the banking industry on terms that should lead to huge profits over the next five years (or even longer).

The company is based in Texas, and it owns a bank, a large mortgage operation, an insurance company, and an investment brokerage. The company took advantage of the credit crisis to buy several banks and the brokerage operation at bargain prices, and it has paid off in a big way as earnings have grown by 66% on average over the past 5 years. They are continually looking for ways to expand and recently bought a bank in Houston to expand their presence in that fast-growing marketplace.

If you are not already a member of the Heatseekers service and would like to see the uncut version of this video in which I reveal this company, consider signing up here.

Let’s take a look…

As you are reading this, I have a house full of almost 20 people for Thanksgiving dinner.

I have been up since the crack of dawn making sausage and sage stuffing, and getting the oversized bird into the oven.

It’s easy odds to bet that my wife is running behind me with cleaning materials and wishing I was out of her kitchen, but cooking the turkey and stuffing is my thing and has been for over 30 years. She does everything else, but all things turkey belong to me.

This year will be the world’s most beautiful granddaughter’s first, so I am sure she is holding court in the living room with all her many admirers.

The table is set, the bar is stocked, and we are looking forward to a fantastic day of family and friends.

Thanksgiving indeed is one of my favorite Holidays. There is family, friends, food, wine, football – and I do not have to buy a single present for anybody. It’s a day just to enjoy, and yes, to be grateful for all we have.

My list of things to be grateful for seems to grow longer every year. There is the usual stuff that is on everyone’s list, but when I really think about my life and how it has developed, I am inspired to give thanks for quite a number of things.

So let me share a few of them, which may help you profit as well…
