The Greatest Stock Market Story You’re NOT Being Told!
![]() |
It’s the greatest story that’s NOT being told. The tale of amazing, unheralded, outperformance of “Safe Money” investments. And I’m determined to change that ... because it could make a dramatic difference in the performance of YOUR portfolio for the rest of 2019 … and far beyond.
Let’s start with the facts. They’re undeniable. They show that over the past year, you’ve basically made squat if you just owned ETFs or mutual funds that track the S&P 500. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY, Rated “B-”) is up by only around 4% in 12 months.
BUT during that same time frame (as of earlier this week) ...
- The Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLP, Rated “C”) and the iShares U.S. Real Estate ETF (IYR, Rated “B-”) are both up 14%, around 3.5 times more than the S&P ...
- The Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLU, Rated “B”) is up 17.5%, about 4.4 times the S&P ...
- The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT, Rated “C”) is up 21%, 5.3 times the S&P ...
- As for precious metals, fasten your seatbelt! The SPDR Gold Shares (GLD, Rated “C”) is up 26%, while the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX, Rated “D+”) has soared a whopping 50.5%. That’s 6.5 and 12.6 times the gain in the S&P, respectively!
Bottom line? There is a RAGING BULL MARKET in “Safe Money” investments, the kinds of things I recommend in my Safe Money Report.
In fact, two of my favorite stocks in the utility and Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) spaces just hit all-time highs yesterday. That’s working out great for subscribers who are following the model portfolio recommendations. You can join them by clicking here or calling my team at 877-934-7778.
But you hear very little about these trends on financial television. You read little about them online or in print media. Why? Because utility, consumer staples and REIT shares aren’t “sexy.” Neither are Treasuries or gold. They’re boring.
Talking about them doesn’t generate big viewership or ratings numbers for the press. And Wall Street firms would rather you buy their latest money-losing tech IPOs than stodgy utility stocks because the former generates bigger fees and commissions.
But you know what? I don’t care about any of that junk. My job is to find you winning investments any place I can! And ever since early 2018, when the market environment began to change (as I explained at the time), Safe Money-style investments have absolutely crushed the averages.
I mean, would you rather hear about (and own) sexy stocks that are going nowhere — or worse, losing value? Or safer, “boring” stocks, bonds, gold and other defensive investments that are up 14% ... 17.5% ... or more than 50% in a year? I’m pretty sure I know what your answer would be!
My advice? Tune out the hype and hysteria you’re hearing elsewhere. The winning stocks and sectors you AREN’T hearing about from others are exactly what you ARE learning about here from Weiss Ratings. You have my commitment that won’t change.
And don’t abandon my winning Safe Money strategies! I believe they’ll continue to work best for you in the remainder of 2019 … and well beyond.
Until next time,
Mike Larson
