Ben’s Back, And So is Real Estate

by The Investment U Research Team

When someone recently told us that the Obama administration would replace Federal Reserve Chief Ben Bernanke we almost all but laughed.

Our logic was simple, politics aside; if Obama had replaced Bernanke it would have sent a signal to the markets that we were on the wrong track and that our recovery was in question.

The markets don’t like change. They like predictability, and changing horses in mid-stream is about the worst possible scenario that we could thing of.

Pre-market futures looked positive at the prospect of Ben staying on, but it’ll be interesting to see what effect home prices will have on the markets for the remainder of the day.

Home prices climbed up slightly over last month, and their recovery may signal that the worst is behind us. This should bode well for REITs and many real estate based stocks like homebuilders.

The Single Best Investment for 2009

Forget another stimulus package. Or retreating into "safe-havens" like cash and gold. All you need in 2009 is a small exposure to the "secret" White Cap Index.

It's up as much as 171% straight through Wall Street's meltdown. And one of the latest stocks to be added - an Internet-related venture capital company - is up over 100% since its inclusion into the Index.

Just weeks from now, we'll add another White Cap stock to this market-trouncing index. To get a sneak peek, click here for full details.
