By Dan Ferris in the S&A Digest:

[These are some] of the greatest businesses on Earth, which I call World Dominators.

The World Dominators are No. 1 in their industry, have virtually flawless multidecade records of earning high returns on capital, gush free cash flow, and all but one buy back shares and pay dividends.

I started collecting World Dominator stocks in October 2006, when Wal-Mart was too cheap to pass up. Since then, I've added seven more World Dominators to the list. All of them are showing profits. All of them (except one) pay dividends that have risen every year since I first recommended them. Considering all the dividend cuts last year and this year, that's pretty impressive.

My S&A colleagues tell me – as another did yesterday – that they've made profitable option trades based on my World Dominator picks. I know of at least one Stansberry Alliance member who reads Extreme Value and trades options on the World Dominator stocks. I'm sure others do too. So for the experienced option trader, Extreme Value provides more option trading ideas than some actual option trading services out there – without even mentioning the subject of options.

Sometimes after I've identified a World Dominator, I'll wait for months to recommend it. That's because I've done substantial work on the intrinsic values of these stocks, and I'm highly confident I know what each one is worth. I only recommend them when they're cheap enough. That's when my option-trader friends sometimes make their best trades.
