Buy oil stocks. Buy gold stocks, Buy gold under "GLD". Some of the ones we mentioned in the past few days have done great -- Apex Silver Mines, and Placer Dome especially.
Most of the stocks that have gotten hit very hard are the commodity stocks -- especially "Metals -- Non Ferrous"... these are raw material companies that sell a lot of their materials to China. We could be going back to a market of "stuff", meaning things dug up out of the ground -- oil, gold, iron, ore, steel, etc.
These have had fantastic runs over the past few years and just now seem to be forming bases after a spectacular sell-off at the beginning of this year (you gotta have those stop points). That's why we've been largely ignoring theses stocks -- until now. We are starting off with letting you know that gold stocks are a good place to be again. So is "GLD".
As far as the others, it's a bit early to tell right now, but we'll let you know.
