Making Money from Dead Shoots

by The Investment U Research Team

One of the best phrases we may have heard all month came this morning from Reuters’ author Nick Carey, “green shoots do not a harvest make.” We couldn’t have summed it better.

Many of the early “green shoots” have since withered and died.

The market surge we saw from March 6 represented an overabundance of enthusiasm that the worst was over and that recovery was now taking place. The facts paint a strikingly different picture of a long, drawn out recovery.

The message that we’re going to have to have a little more patience seems be sinking in, global confidence is down for the first time in four months. Adding to all this “good news,” analyst Jeffrey deGraaf recently suggested that the S&P 500 could stagnate for years.

This is in addition to reports that the United States and Europe are about to see a huge wave of bankruptcies.

So pack it up and go home, right? Wrong.

Even in this market and these challenging economic conditions, there are profits to be made. Louis Basenese told readers to “dump GE,” and many who did saw 30%+ gains.

Last week we told you to look at AIG as a value play, and readers that did are looking at 70%+ in a mere matter of days.

There is money to be made here, you just need to keep you eyes open for the opportunities. Or you could continue to read the web’s trusted source for investment ideas and investment education.

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.
