Profit from the Titanic A Titanic Resurrection
What caused it to sink like a sack of bricks after colliding with its fateful iceberg became an instant mystery. In fact, even its underwater location remained a mystery for the better part of a century. Its 2.5-mile depth made its location virtually impossible to find with the World War I technology available. Finally, 73 years after its enormous stern was last seen disappearing into the black, early morning waters of the North Atlantic, its disfigured remains were found on the ocean floor. On the first recovery dive in 1987, 1,800 artifacts were recovered. Any number of things could have been done with them: Cleaned, cataloged and collected in boxes in some dark basement of a museum; parted out to the highest bidders, separating them forever; or even broken up in some laboratory for experiments. Instead, one small company decided to showcase these historical treasures in traveling museum shows… ***************Special Offer************** Turn $5,000 into $1.59 Million in Just Over 8 Years Until tomorrow at midnight, you have the exclusive chance to grab six free months of Agora Financial's best performing options service, Options Hotline. Editor Steve Sarnoff hasn’t had a losing pick since August 2004. But it gets better… Our publisher is making you a guarantee… If you don’t make 600% in total gains in the next six months, it won’t cost you a thing. So check it out here… **************************************** The show usually stays for six months, feeding off the fascination and curiosity of the hundreds of thousands of visitors, all the while charging around $20 per ticket. After the shows, the company sells merchandise, adding even more cash to its top line. This idea of an insanely profitable traveling museum might seem a little farfetched. After all, there's nothing especially innovative about a traveling show. But there's much more to the story… People can't get enough of these exhibits. From 1994 until now, there have been over 18 million visitors and counting. The company has orchestrated seven separate dives to the wreckage, recovering over 5,000 artifacts to use in these exhibits. Currently, there are seven separate Titanic exhibitions showing for an average of six months at various venues before moving to new ones. Obviously, some of this worldwide interest has been spurred from the Titanic movie in 1997, but the number of visitors has not slowed in the slightest since then. In fact, the company has added more exhibits to keep up with demand. Thanks to a 1994 federal district court ruling that gave the company "salvor-in-possession" status, they now have complete control over the Titanic wreck site. No one else can either photograph or take artifacts from the site. The title grants the company a legal monopoly on pretty much everything associated with the wrecked Titanic. Think about this for a minute. In 1910, the Titanic cost ?1.5 million to build. In today's dollars, that's over $200 million. And thanks to some curious scientific minds, what remains of the Titanic could be worth even more today… Sure, some of the materials in the ship are useless now, but most are worth even more as collectors' items. In the 1990s, a theory was started — and is still widely believed today — that it was faulty rivets that caused the ship to sink. Apparently, the rivets used in the Titanic were made of the wrong distribution of materials. Because of this theory, Titanic enthusiasts have been reported to offer $10,000 for a single rivet. At those prices, this small company could part out the Titanic and make more than its own market cap. I’ll be checking back in with this story soon. Until then… Best, P.S.: My Penny Stock Fortunes readers have already been given the buying opportunity to profit from this remarkable company. As a special situation, they have been given the signal to buy shares of the company. It is set to double, or even triple, but if it is still under my buy-up-to range. To be one of the lucky few, check this out… |
