Welcome to the Wealth Daily Weekend Edition — our insights from the week in investing and links to our most-read Wealth Daily and sister publication articles.
Aaaaand we’re back! America is back!
We were, at least, when Newsweek mailed a sell alert to 3.1 million people…
Newsweek’s "America’s Back: The Remarkable Tale of our Economic Turnaround" issue with a glossy red, white, and blue cover could bring an end to "America’s recovery" party.
Historically, publications like Newsweek have had a real knack for being contrarian indicators, hyping the over-hyped and succumbing to the American psyche.
But they’re not alone in this business…
When BusinessWeek published its "Death of Equities" cover in 1979, it was time to mortgage the house and plow savings into anything and everything. That very cover was followed by a huge bull market of the 1980s.
When Time published "Home Sweet Home" in 2005, talking up the housing boom, it was time to sell your home and take money out of the market. That very cover called the top of the housing bubble.
And less than a year after his cover shoot as Person of the Year for Time‘s 1999 issue, Jeff Bezos’ Amazon — along with most of the Internet bubble — collapsed more than 90%.
Does this mean these guys are bad at their jobs?
Not exactly. More often than not, mass-marketed magazines are typically late to the party. They jump on the "herd mentality" of the investing public, hyping what’s already played out. (Let’s just hope the recent covers celebrating the iPad won’t crash Apple’s stock.)
So, is today’s market really topped out?
Well, if you listen to George Soros, you’ll hear him warning the financial "world is on the wrong track and that we may be hurtling toward an even bigger boom and bust than in the credit crisis."
Maybe the magazines will get around to publishing that story — months after the crash.
Despite what you see on newsstands, the way to profit right now is to simply play on the belief that we’re recovering.
And you can do so by trading energy.
You see, as long as there’s a belief that we’re recovering, oil and other energy-related trades will rocket. It’s one of the reasons we predicted $100 to $110 oil this year. We even gave you three ways to trade higher energy on the recovery perception, and all have paid off incredibly well.
Profit from the idea of a recovery first… But be prepared for the sell-off that’ll follow Newsweek‘s ultimate contrarian cover.
When that happens, short the market. Short anything associated with Option ARM resets and coming foreclosures, and anything that’ll suffer from rising unemployment.
And when the mass-marketed magazines get around to covering the fallout, it’ll be time to go long again… And as usual, they’ll be late to the party.
Stay Ahead of the Curve,
