Investing in This Sector Could Be the Biggest Mistake of Your Life

The financial sector "cheated the test" this earnings season, and that sets the banks up to be an investing bear trap. But hidden among the weeds are a few companies that couldn't be in a better position to rally.

Banks have serious underlying issues - issues that could burn unsuspecting investors in the near future. Years of buybacks and accounting tricks have inflated the value of these companies, which could lead to a full-blown sector-wide crash. Investing in this sector as a whole might be the worst investing decision to make in 2019.

There is a savvy way to play the financials though, and it could deliver you double-digit returns.

I don't know of any other sector providing anywhere near this level of growth now.
