This week was all about pulling back the curtain. Our goal is to tell you the truth so you can make better investment decisions.
And you're thanking us...
Jared's Tuesday article showed readers how the VIX can take your money. Smart Investing Daily reader M.K. writes:
Jared, I want to thank you for being the first newsletter writer or newsperson to ever actually explain the problems with some of the relatively new products out there like the VIX/VXX, or leveraged ETF's etc. Keep up the good work of educating the masses. It amazes me how people will trade anything or "invest" in anything without even understanding how the product works. Thanks for caring.
We love hearing your feedback, so keep it coming! Write us a note at editor@taipanpublishinggroup.com.
Now let's review what else we talked about this week.
Suspicious Bull Market
Monday, we compared some current economic conditions to conditions this same time last year. There are similarities that should have you concerned: The stock market is reaching for new highs, inflation is climbing in Asia and Europe is still struggling under loads of debt.
Last year, the stock markets fell big time. Could they fall again? Read our Smart Investing Daily article for our full commentary.
When I sifted through this huge government report, I couldn't believe my eyes. Now I'm saying "what recession?" While others were losing their retirement accounts and jobs, I discovered this secret billionaire blueprint. I'll tell you all the details here... |
VIX Options Are a Lie
Jared revealed one of the market's hidden secrets. The VIX options, popular with many investors, are a lie. Thousands of people have been burnt by trading them! Jared says, "The VIX and VXX are perfect examples of too much hype, too little understanding and a gaggle of fine print."
That's why Tuesday's Smart Investing Daily article shows you how the VIX works, and why its options aren't for every investor.
Investing Takes Nerves
Wednesday's guest article comes from Jared's WaveStrength Options Weekly service. His explanation of the VIX was so good that I had to let you know his opinions on the rest of the market. In short, he said that investing in this market takes nerves.
That's because the value of the U.S. dollar is dropping, and despite new stock market highs, Americans, he says, are not living "high on the hog." Read his guest article in full for all the details.
What Ben Bernanke Is Really Saying
Wednesday afternoon, the Federal Reserve gave its first press conference after a policy meeting ever. So Thursday's Smart Investing Daily article parsed out what Chairman Ben Bernanke was really saying. It doesn't look good for the dollar, folks.
Trimmed GDP growth and talk of inflation has sent the dollar sliding again. In fact, it was quite nearly the only thing that traded down on Wednesday. Read Thursday's article to find out how Bernanke's press conference will affect markets.
