Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?






Remember that scene in Meet the Parentswhere Ben Stiller discovers that his fiancee's ex-fiance(played by Owen Wilson) lives in the American equivalent of Versailles and builds ornate altars out of rare wood in his spare time?

I remember it because after showing off his Bolivian wormwood floors -- Owen Wilson casually mentions the fact that he "got in early on some wireless IPOs, and the stuff just skyrocketed from there."

That is, unless you somehow manage to find the one stock that changes everything. And we all know that's no easy task.

Or has it?
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for disciplined long-term value investing. However, as my colleague Tim Hanson recently pointed out, there's nothing wrong with dedicating a portion of your time and portfolio to finding the next home-run stock.

And that's why I want to introduce you to a world-renowned investor who specializes in finding winning stocks aftereveryone else on Wall Street says it's too late to cash in, and I want to give you the details on one top stock pick from his Motley Fool Rule Breakers service -- with no strings attached.
