Why Community Banks.... You'll See...

This is a remarkable way to take advantage of the Money Printer and have a real chance at crushing the market.

Good afternoon:

I’m at the Orioles game with my daughter and father-in-law, Tim Melvin.

The weather held up, but obviously, we’re watching two last-place teams. So, there was a lot of ice cream, walking to the Team Store, and conversation about the markets.

Today, I want to show you how powerful a strategy Tim offers in community banking… But I asked him to put it all in his own words…

You’ll learn something VERY important today…

For 30 Years, I've Beaten the Market By Investing in the One Sector Wall Street Ignores. And Now, Coming Regulatory Changes Could Send These Stocks Soaring Overnight

Dear Fellow Investor,

My name is Tim Melvin.

I don't have an Ivy League degree.

I didn't graduate high school (just got my GED).

And I've never worked at a fancy Wall Street firm.

But for the past three decades, I've consistently outperformed most of those Brooks Brothers-wearing "experts" by focusing on one overlooked corner of the market:

Community banks.

Right now, as I write this, one of my dividend portfolios, which I launched in 2022, has absolutely smashed the market's returns, with 100% winners.

And my banking strategy? It's beaten the broader market by an astounding 2,325% over the past 22 years.

Let me put that in dollar terms that matter to you:

If you had invested $25,000 following my community bank approach starting in 2000, you could be sitting on more than $4 million today.

That same $25,000 in an S&P 500 index fund? Just $166,465.

That's the difference between a comfortable retirement and a truly wealthy one.

But here's what has me more excited than I've been in years:

The Current Administration Is About to Create the Biggest Banking Boom in Decades

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has been quietly pushing for regulatory changes that would make community bank acquisitions much easier.

The administration understands that America has far too many banks compared to other developed nations. We currently have 10 TIMES more banks than other major countries.

This regulatory shift could accelerate the already rapid pace of bank consolidations - and send the share prices of these small institutions skyrocketing.

A single tweet from the President announcing these changes could send our bank stocks soaring literally overnight.

That's why I'm writing to you today with some urgency.

After parting ways with my previous publisher and launching my own research service, I'm opening up my complete community bank investing strategy to a small group of serious investors.

But before I explain how you can join us, let me address the question I know you're asking...

"Why Would I Want to Invest in Bank Stocks?"

I hear this all the time.

"Aren't banks boring?"

"Didn't banks collapse during the 2008 crisis?"

"Won't they get crushed if interest rates change?"

Let me address these concerns head-on:

Concern #1: "Bank stocks are boring"

Yes, they are boring. And that's EXACTLY why they're so profitable.

While everyone else is chasing the latest AI stock or cryptocurrency, smart money is quietly accumulating shares of well-run community banks trading at dirt-cheap valuations.

I once met a broker I call "3-Martini Matt" who showed up at 9:30, took long lunches, and left at 4:01 sharp. Yet he was richer than all the other brokers burning the midnight oil.

His secret? "Melvin... if you're not invested in banks, you're an idiot. Banks run everything."

He owned multiple luxury homes while others struggled - all from the "boring" business of bank investing.

Concern #2: "Banks are risky after 2008"

Today's banks are completely different beasts.

According to the Davis Funds: "Our largest U.S. banks today hold 96% more capital relative to their risk-weighted assets than before the crisis."

In June 2022, the Federal Reserve announced that "All banks" passed its stress tests with flying colors.

The banking sector is stronger than it's been in decades.

Concern #3: "What about interest rate changes?"

Here's something most investors don't understand: Banks LOVE rising interest rates.

While tech stocks and other sectors get hammered when rates rise, banks actually benefit because they earn more on their spreads.

That's why my banking strategy has beaten the market 82% of the time over the past 22 years.

The only years it didn't outperform? When the Fed was aggressively lowering rates - which isn't happening anytime soon with inflation still running hot.

The Real Reason Wall Street Ignores These Stocks (And Why That Creates Your Advantage)

So if community banks are such great investments, why doesn't Wall Street talk about them?

The answer is simple: They're too small.

When you're managing billions of dollars, you simply can't invest enough in a $200 million community bank to move the needle on your portfolio without buying the whole bank - which institutional investors don't want to do.

But for you and me? That's our advantage.

With our smaller portfolios, we can buy meaningful positions in these banks and enjoy tremendous upside when they:

1. Raise their dividends (many of my picks have increased dividends by 300%+ over the past decade)

2. Buy back their own shares (making our ownership stake more valuable)

3. Get acquired by larger banks (delivering windfall profits overnight)

This is why I've been able to deliver winners like:

• A 165% gain on MFNC over 8 years

• A 100% winner on EVBN in just 19 months

• A 150% winner on BOCH in 5 years

• A 194% win on GNBC

• A 447% winner on Farmer & Merchants Bancorp

And at this very moment, I'm tracking several tiny banks that could be the next big winners for my subscribers.

My Personal Journey to Banking Success

I wasn't born into money. Far from it.

I grew up in the Baltimore projects, raised by a single mom. I didn't even finish high school, getting my GED instead.

In high school, I pounded the pavement as a door-to-door salesman just to help make ends meet - sweating through my socks and having dogs sicced on me for "intruding" on people's property.

That experience taught me grit and perseverance, which helped me break into the brokerage business.

Over the years, I've developed a reputation for accuracy:

• I called the market top in 2007 before the housing crash

• I identified the market bottom in 2009

• I urged readers to buy real estate in 2019, right before property values soared 50% in 24 months

• I warned investors to exit tech stocks in 2021 before the bear market hit

On June 20, 2022, when the S&P had plummeted 23.4% from its highs, I called for what I described as a "rip-your-face-off rally."

The very next day, stocks gapped up and took off, with the S&P 500 gaining 17% in just one month.

Then in September 2022, while others were getting euphoric about the bear market rally, I warned that "things will get a lot worse."

One week later, the market dropped 1,000 points in a single session - the worst day since 2020.

I'm not sharing this to brag, but to show you that I take your financial future seriously. When you follow my recommendations, you're partnering with someone who has a proven track record of getting it right.

My 2-Part Framework for Finding Banking Winners

So how do I identify these banking sector winners?

It comes down to two simple criteria:

1. The bank must be trading at a remarkable discount compared to its price-to-earnings ratio.

2. It must pay an above-average dividend.

Of course, there's a lot more analysis that goes into my final picks:

• Evaluating the strength of their cash flow and balance sheet

• Analyzing the quality of loans in their portfolio

• Determining if the board of directors puts shareholders first

This is the work I've been doing every day for 34 years, spending my evenings and weekends poring over SEC filings even after taking my granddaughter to the zoo.

And now, for the first time since striking out on my own, I'm ready to share my highest-conviction plays with a small group of serious investors.

That wisdom has helped my subscribers build remarkable wealth through market booms and busts.

Now, as interest rates remain elevated, regulatory changes loom, and industry consolidation accelerates, community banks are poised for their biggest growth phase in decades.

Some of my past banking recommendations have returned 192%... 194%... even 447%.

And the strategy that produced these winners has averaged 26% annual returns over the past 22 years - enough to double your money every 32 months.

Imagine where your portfolio could be just a few years from now if you start putting this strategy to work today.
