A Sector Where Few Dare to Go…
by Robert Williams, Publisher
Thursday, October 1, 2009
Have you heard the chatter coming out of the retail sector? Last week, Citigroup upgraded Macy’s (NYSE: M) to a “Buy.” And yesterday, Moody’s raised its broad outlook on U.S. retailers from “Negative” to “Stable.”
The respective upgrades serve as further proof that the economy is improving, which puts the onus on the Fed to figure out an exit strategy.
The Fed used unprecedented measures, including lowering short-term interest rates to near zero and buying a wide range of securities, to stabilize financial markets.
However, soon it’ll be time for Bernanke’s gang to reverse course. That means raising interest rates, withdrawing support from the credit markets and selling the securities it accumulated.
And when news of such action hits the wire, stocks – especially retailers – will likely be under extraordinary buying pressure.
That’s why Louis, who’s developing a habit calling turnarounds before they happen, is positioning himself ahead of the Fed’s inevitable announcement in his latest article.
Ahead of the tape,

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.
