The Only Way to Play Apple Right Now

"Now I have a lot more monies to invest!" 

Timothy Rand emailed, "I got in a bit late [on Keith Fitz-Gerald's recommendation] but made what I believe was a good profit. First I bought in and later I took a $3,000 out of a $5,000 investment, let it ride again and took another $1,500 out, then sold out all and took my original $5,000 out and invested in some other stocks. Can hardly wait for your next round of very good suggestions! Many thanks. I like to recommend the Strike Force to all my buddies!" Find out what all the excitement is about here.

The Only Way to Play Apple Right Now 

By William Patalon III, Executive Editor 

The recent sell-off we've seen in Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) shares came as a real stunner to Wall Street.

But Strike Force Editor Keith Fitz-Gerald saw the sell-off coming.

In fact, he predicted it.

Back on March 27, Keith wrote a lead story for Money Morning in which he articulated seven very clear reasons that investors should consider shorting Apple's stock.

And that was a couple of weeks after he detailed a "put" option strategy - in essence, a "short" trade - that resulted in a 47% profit (in just two days, no less) for the subscribers of his Strike Forcetrading service who followed his recommendation (a short-term reversal delivered those gains).

I wanted to know what tipped him off that a reversal was coming - as well as what he was predicting for Apple's shares going forward.

"BP, it was clear to me that this kind of reversal was coming - and sooner rather than later," Keith said during a private briefing late last week. "The shares had soared 75% in just five months - one analyst actually described the performance as "euphoric.' Suddenly, we're seeing all these mainstream-news-media stories explaining why Apple shares are going straight to $1,000. But I know from my own experience as a professional trader that even the shares of the best companies on earth don't go straight up. I happened to time it perfectly and help Strike Force subscribers take advantage of the reversal I just knew was in the offing."

Key Questions for Apple Stock

The way we see it, the Apple stock sell-off raises these three key questions for investors:

  • No. 1: What's going to happen to Apple shares in the near-term?
  • No. 2: If the stock is headed for a volatile stretch, is there any way to profit until the smoke clears?
  • No. 3: What's the long-term outlook for Apple - both the company and the stock?
Having worked with him for five years, I've seen Keith make gutsy calls like this - and have them pay off big - time and time again. Since I knew you'd be as interested in his answers as I was, we wanted to share them with you.

Here's what Keith had to say.

Buy the Top Telecom in the "New China" Before the Herd Piles In 

By G.S. Early, Contributing Writer

How would you like to get in on the ground floor of the telecom market in a country I've dubbed the "New China"?

It's a country that boasts:

  • 6% annual GDP growth before, after and during and the global economic meltdown.
  • The fourth largest population on the planet. It is also one of the youngest (median age is 28).
  • A centuries-long social and economic connection to China and every strategic Southeast Asian economy.
  • Foreign Direct Investment that has grown exponentially in the teeth of the global crisis.
  • A bigger economy than the Netherlands or Turkey.
I'm talking about Indonesia.

It's a place usually found in the back of the mind of most Western investors. It only crops up if there is an earthquake, a tsunami or political unrest in a far flung province.

But the truth is, Indonesia is nestled in one of the most strategic locations on the emerging market map. It neighbors India, Malaysia, Australia and Thailand.

It also has long historical and economic ties to China.

About 3%-4% of the population is Chinese/Indonesian, and they represent a powerful but quiet voice in the Indonesian economy. That influence, which was buried for many years, is now a highly prized asset.

Investing in the "New China"

From the 1970s until recently, Chinese influence in Indonesian society was largely muted by Indonesian politicians. The Chinese language wasn't taught in schools and Chinese history was stricken from textbooks.

But things are changing rapidly.

This "Business" Grew 1,880% Last Year ... And This Stock Will Directly Benefit

Everyone knows that cybersecurity is a "growth business."

We read all the time about passwords getting swiped, Websites getting hacked, and e-mail accounts getting hijacked.

But there's one specific corner of our brave new digital world that the global band of digital evildoers is literally salivating to plunder.

In fact, the cyber-assault has already begun. By one account, these attempted incursions rose 1,880% from January to December of last year alone.

In today's Private BriefingMoney Morning Executive Editor Bill Patalon profiles one particular company whose product is specifically designed to repel these would-be raiders.

Private Briefing subscribers have already pocketed as much as 131% on this recommendation. But here's the thing: Like any nascent "growth business," this is just the start - meaning there are plenty of profits to come.

In fact, as Bill reports, Wall Street is suddenly interested and analysts have posted significantly higher target prices for this company's stock. And that could draw in just the kind of liquidity needed to send the shares higher.

Ride the Boom With These 5 Bakken Oil Shale Stocks

By David Zeiler, Associate Editor 

The Bakken oil shale boom is the opportunity of a lifetime.

With activity ramping up rapidly - production has soared from 100,000 barrels a day in 2005 to 494,000 barrels a day in February - the Bakken oil shale boom could turn out to be just as big, if not bigger than the California gold rush 1849.

Last week we told you about how the Bakken oil shale boom has affected Williston, ND. The town has an absurdly low unemployment rate of 0.8%, and the average pay for the oil company jobs is about $90,000.

One way to take advantage of this boom yourself would be to move to North Dakota.

But with dozens of companies flocking to the region, a much easier way to get in on the boom is to simply invest in some Bakken oil shale stocks.

The allure of big profits has attracted dozens of companies to the Bakken oil shale formation. The list ranges from industry giants like Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE: XOM) and ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) to pipeline companies like Enbridge Inc. (NYSE: ENB).

With oil prices expected to keep rising, and the production in the Bakken not expected to peak until 2020, it will be hard not to make money in Bakken oil shale stocks.

"Bakken is almost twice as big as the oil reserve in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska," Harold Hamm, CEO of Continental Resources Inc. (NYSE: CLR) - one of the major players in the Bakken oil shale boom -- toldThe Wall Street Journal last October. "We expect our reserves and production to triple over the next five years."

Still, some Bakken oil shale stocks will benefit more than others.

For example, the really big companies like Exxon, with large global operations, will see less of a boost than companies with operations concentrated in the Bakken and other North American shale deposits.

Money Morning has taken a look at these Bakken oil shale stocks and found five companies positioned to benefit most from this historic find's tremendous potential.
