The Light is Real… and it’s not a Train
by The Investment U Research Team
This morning, Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) announced that it expects a $3 billion profit from the first quarter. One of the biggest banks in the country, Wells Fargo is the first big winner from this earnings season.
It’s in stark contrast to Alcoa (NYSE: AA), the world’s biggest aluminum producer, which reported lower earnings than expected.
Wells Fargo’s news has spurred a mini rally this morning, and traders are rushing back into financials. But it shouldn’t surprise anyone, really.
It’s a huge clue that there are large profits being made – the world hasn’t ended.
No doubt, there will be firms that are so severely affected by this downturn that they will have no choice but to close their doors or be bought out. But the fact remains that there are companies that are profiting handsomely.
The market is oversold, based off collective fears of a “worst-case scenario.” It’s simply not the case. And fortunately, that means Wells Fargo won’t be the last company to surprise. It’s stock is happily up 25% as of this writing.
As earnings numbers roll out next week, watch big movers like CSX Corp. (NYSE: CSX), Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) for a better indicator of our economy’s true strength. These three companies are great barometers of technology, consumer goods and goods transportation.
A few more surprises from companies like these, and it’ll tell you the “light at the end of the tunnel” is real, and not just the train barreling towards us.
Companies mentioned in this article: WFC, AA, CSX, INTC and JNJ.

The Company Set to Dominate a $60 Billion-a-Year Market
$60 billion is spent on cancer treatment in the U.S. - each year. And one company is poised to receive the lion's share of it.
The medical director at the Alta Bates Comprehensive Cancer Center says, "...possibly a third of our cancer patient population will soon be undergoing this [company's] treatment."
Another doctor at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center says he intends to treat over 1,000 patients a year with this technology.
Here's how you can claim your stake in the company before this cash infusion sends shares soaring.

I agree with what is being said here but personally hope that the light is not real.
As much as a bear market is tough to handle, it is a great opportunity for anyone.
I had to sell out a couple of positions that rose too high too quickly in the rally but would like to see it go down so that I can use up my cash reserve.
