Here's the All-Important Difference Between a "Cheap Stock" and an Undervalued One

by

Millions of investors are focused, very myopically, on short-term trading at the moment. That's perfectly understandable, but it's a huge mistake in a mid-term election year.

Why?

Because the single biggest risk facing investors today is not that the numbers driving our economy – earnings, jobs, interest rates – collapse, but rather that they're better than "everyone" expects.

Too much "short-termism" results in too many losses, especially at this time of year, when traders are looking to do two things: a) clean house on their portfolios, and b) get in line for big year-end bonuses.

To be sure, the business cycle is long in the tooth; so is the bull market rally. But nowhere is it written in stone that either of those things must come to an end.

What is written, however, are the things that tend to produce huge profits time and again for savvy investors - in any market, to boot...

Here's What to Expect from the Price of Gold as the FOMC Meeting Looms

by

Although the price of gold struggled through another difficult week, its action suggests some resilience.

I believe the market is looking ahead to the September FOMC Meeting, along with the effects of ongoing emerging markets currencies continuing to weaken substantially, which are supporting the U.S. dollar.

Of course that makes for gold price headwinds.

But gold's price action suggests it may have put in a bullish higher low.

What's more, speculators have recently pushed their short positions to outsized record levels.

That's a strong contrarian indicator, possibly providing more support for gold's price stabilizing before it rallies higher.

Why Bears Will Enjoy "Best in Breed" Profits This Month

by

The "September slide" this past week has been excellent for my paid-up subscribers – even some positions that had been sluggish moved higher – because we were well prepared for stocks to gap lower.

We closed out two more winners in Western Digital Corp. puts, and on the "other side" of the market, DSW Inc. calls for a nice 174% and 78% in gains.

Those results certainly show how our proven "Best in Breed" (BIB) stock-picking methodology works hand in hand with portfolio balance. A mix of calls, puts, bullishness, and bearishness has helped us capitalize on the market's recent swings.

Right now, BIB is showing retailers as an area of strength for the next couple of months, which is why I've been so bullish on them here in Money Morning recently – just look at our DSW position. 

Meanwhile, BIB bull's-eyed the technology sector as a laggard, and sure enough, it's no longer leading the market higher. Puts in WDC yielded a huge profit. And our other bearish plays in the sector are bouncing back in our favor.

Now let's take a look at what the market's showing us for the next four weeks or so...

This Oil Pipeline Stock Could Jump 116% Thanks to Booming Production

by

After years of subpar performance, North American Oil Production is back.

According to a report published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration last week, U.S. oil production rose to 10.7 million barrels a day in June.

This is the latest jump in what has turned into a two-year rally for a beleaguered North American oil industry.

And it shows no signs of letting up - June's numbers put the U.S. on track to reach a record 11 million barrels a day before the end of the year.
