How to Play the Market Right Now
By Steve McDonald
Since the market turned around and started doing its rocket imitation, most people I have spoken to are shaking their heads saying, "It isn't real," "It has no legs," and "It's 1933 all over again." Since when are we supposed to be suspicious of a rally?
We moved from an intra-day low below 6,500 to 8,000 in a matter of weeks. It took nine months in a red-hot market, the hottest of all times for the DOW, to make the same move the last time. That was from October 14, 1997 to July 16, 1998.
The average investor missed that move, and is missing the big money again because he has to be convinced by the increase in the price of an investment, or the market indexes, that it's okay to get in. That's why most people buy high and sell low. It's also one of the major reasons why most people lose money in the market.
If the key to real estate is location, location, location, then the key to this market is time, time, time.
If you give this market time, you will have to try to lose money in it. That's how perfect this environment is for making money over the next three to five years. Yes, years! Not weeks, months, or even one year. Three to five years! If you have any other time horizon in mind, you are setting yourself up for another big loss. If you haven't learned that making money takes time, save yourself the worry and bury your money in the backyard.
Here's how easy it will be to make money in this market, if you give it time to work. Just pick the top companies or the appropriate ETFs from the following industries: oil, healthcare, and technology. The easiest way to find these companies is to look at the top 10 holdings of any of the sector funds for those three industries. That should do it.

The Wheels Aren't Falling Off This Car
By Christian Hill
In an industry full of missteps and forced resignations, Hyundai is one company actually headed in the right direction.
First off, the economy is playing right into Hyundai's hands. Long known as a maker of low-priced vehicles, Hyundai in an enviable position. The Sonata is priced roughly $2,000 less than a Toyota Camry, and the Santa Fe SUV is almost $10,000 less than a Toyota RAV4.
While still lagging far behind Toyota in sales, Hyundai does have one advantage: A full 55 percent of its sales come from countries in emerging markets, versus 31 percent for Toyota. And because those countries have withstood the worst of the global slowdown, this means the company can continue to see greater sales growth.
Also helping Hyundai is its product mix. Almost 65 percent of the automobiles it makes are small cars. In a world of rising gas prices, demand for these vehicles will increase, allowing the company to capture market share while other manufacturers re-tool their assembly lines.
Finally, the company introduced its AssurancePlus program, where it will make your payments for three months if you lose your job. And if you're unemployed longer than that, Hyundai will buy back the vehicle. (This idea has proven to be so strong that GM and Ford recently announced similar programs to encourage people to buy.)
If you're looking for an investment that could be on the upswing, Hyundai fits the bill.

Inflation is Coming – Protect Yourself With TIPS
The government is going to have to print up trillions of dollars worth of new money in an attempt to break out of this economic crisis. That excess supply of currency in circulation is going to lead to what's known as "demand-pull inflation" - too much money chasing too few goods.
A good way to protect yourself from inflation is to purchase Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). They eliminate inflation risk - while providing a real rate of return guaranteed by the United States government.
Here's how they work: The Treasury uses the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as a guide to adjust the principal of a TIPS for inflation on a semiannual basis. A fixed interest rate is paid semiannually on the adjusted principal. In that way, both your interest payments and your principal are adjusted for inflation.
TIPS can be purchased directly from the government through its TreasuryDirect program and on the secondary market through banks and brokers.
My favorite way to invest in TIPS is to buy the iShares Barclays TIPS Bond-Exchange Traded Fund. It trades under the symbol TIP. This ETF has low fees, it is very liquid, and it holds a diversified portfolio of TIPS with varying maturity dates.
Bottom line: Protect yourself from inflation by having some of your portfolio in TIPS.

World trade is falling off a cliff.

The key point is this: No matter how often or sharply the stock market rallies ...
no matter how much the G-20 countries stimulate their economies ...
regardless of any near-term bounce in this or that sector of our economy ...
this decline is the big picture context of the entire globe.

Medical Adhesives of the Future
The problem with the current crop of bandages, sutures, and surgical-grade glues that keep wounds closed and/or covered is that they leave scars and don't do well with moving bodies. The researchers are hoping to replicate the natural adhesives used by the tenacious sea creatures. However, the biochemical makeup of these substances is complicated, and progress has been slow.
