If you're worried that next week's midterm elections could further cloud an already-uncertain investment landscape, take a page from the investment playbook of Money Morning's Keith Fitz-Gerald: Position yourself to profit no matter which party wins on Tuesday.
During an interview with Fox Business Network journalist Stuart Varney yesterday (Tuesday), Fitz-Gerald detailed three strategies that will afford investors both safety and significant profit potential - whether the Democrats or Republicans carry the day.
[mm-toolbar]First and foremost among the three: Protect your holdings.
As basic as that sounds, it's easier said than done.
"No. 1, I think that investors need to be concerned about preserving their wealth," Fitz-Gerald told Fox Business viewers. "The dollar, overall, is getting weaker, and the federal government has made it clear with quantitative easing that it wants a weak dollar, that it wants to win the 'race to the bottom'. So things like gold and silver - and even things like rice, and wheat and corn - are all good choices right now."
