MPL Communications Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MPZ)

A small Canadian investment advisory is one of the top performing newsletters in
the world, according to Hulbert Financial Digest. The Investment Reporter earned
top billing with a portfolio of stocks that returned 138 per cent in just six
months.


Twice a year, Hulbert, a division of Dow Jones MarketWatch, publishes a
comprehensive chart examining the performance of more than 500 newsletter
portfolios. In this case, it was measuring performance since the stock market's
March 9 lows.


What is most impressive about The Investment Reporter's triple-digit gains is
the fact that this quietly-circulated Canadian advisory beat a host of American
counterparts at their own game. The portfolio cited by Hulbert consists of
"Higher Risk U.S. Stocks."


This is not the first time this Canadian David has prevailed against American
Goliaths. The Investment Reporter has been outperforming American and other
international newsletters for a quarter of a century. 


According to Hulbert's detailed historical charts, since 1984, only two
advisories in the world have posted better overall returns than The Investment
Reporter.


Given the U.S. figures, it's not surprising that The Investment Reporter also
holds the same dominant position in the Canadian equities it covers on a weekly
basis. Year to date - again according to Hulbert's figures - its total returns
have been 21.5 per cent. Its Conservative stock portfolio has returned 28.2 per
cent. And its Canadian Speculative stock selections have done even better, at
29.2 per cent.


The Investment Reporter's total returns have also topped the average Canadian
equity mutual fund by a wide margin - 65 per cent in 2009. And its results are
22 per cent better than those of the S&P/TSX Composite Index. 


This matches up with Hulbert's long-term figures, which demonstrate that The
Investment Reporter has beaten all Canadian equity mutual funds and the TSX for
over 20 years. 


Founded in 1941 by the late George Armstrong, an early proponent of "value
investing", this advisory stands as one of the oldest continuously published
advisories in North America. 


The advisory is published by MPL Communications Inc., which is Canada's largest
provider of independent investment advice. Through its print and electronic
