The Doctor is In: Jamie Dlugosch If you are long on oil, commodities or precious metals, your portfolio has enjoyed huge gains so far in 2008. Congratulations. If you are long on stocks, you are losing money across the board. My sympathies. Large cap stocks are down. Small cap stocks are down. Technology stocks are down. Financial stocks are crushed. Retail stocks have pummeled. Even worse, with inflation, you are even further behind than during periods of stable prices. Indeed, the future looks bleak, but if you are a contrarian investor, you know that from such darkness comes light. There are opportunities in this market that investors can exploit. Here are a few ideas (and a few stocks) that I will help you beat the market over the remainder of the year.

But are we in the midst of a crude oil “bubble” due to “pop” soon and cut down all those record gains? Some think the economic climate may shift again soon. Find out when is too soon to get out of certain energy stocks and how long it’s safe to ride the profits.
 Get Rich From High Oil Prices Richard Young Citing an economic slowdown here in the U.S., Wall Street experts predict a slump in oil prices. Citing a need to get elected, Obama and McCain promise to legislate oil prices down with oil tax holidays, rebates and drilling permits for the continental shelf. And if we just clap our hands and say “I believe,” the price of a gallon of gas will be 99 cents, which is where, as we all know, it should be. Alternatively, we could deal with reality.
