Private Equity Investments: This Maligned Stock is a Solid Buy

If there’s one investment approach that always yields the headiest profits, it’s when you go against the crowd – and are proved right.
Take oil, for example. Two summers ago, as oil prices were zooming higher, renowned oilman, T. Boone Pickens, predicted that the price – then at $140 a barrel – would hit $200 by the end of the year. Not to be outdone, Gazprom’s chief warned that oil was headed to $250 “in the foreseeable future.” Nearly every pundit on Earth put forth a similar view.
But I wasn’t buying the hype.
Rather, on June 17, 2007, I wrote this to my Contrarian Strategist subscribers: “I’m convinced [oil] demand will certainly fall if prices remain at current levels much longer. More so than strong growth in emerging markets can make up for… A pullback is overdue.”
Sure enough, prices promptly nosedived. For the record, I didn’t expect such a sharp decline (oil prices fell over 70% from their highs), but folks who acted on my advice pocketed a hefty profit.
Sadly though, few investors have the nerve to be true contrarians and consistently go against the crowd. I intend to change that, though. So grab a bottle of Maalox because I’m giving everyone who chickened out on oil a chance to make amends with a private equity investment.
