I disagree that options is “parking your money in something super safe”. You risk losing your entire investment in options. Zeal can be wrong too. Not every trade they make is going to be right.
I emailed Zeal a few weeks ago, explaining why the commodities (except PMs) will go down when the US enters its recession. I gave the example of the commodities and global stock market fall in 2000-2001 when the US had a capital-spending led recession. This next recession, starting in 07, will be much worse, because it will be consumer led. As in 2000-2001, the Asian countries are still export-dependent, and their stock markets will fall once again. Commodities will fall once again, as they did in 2000-2001.
Zeal did not respond to my e-mail. I hope they will write an article addressing this problem. Until they do, I am very careful with Zeal, because they are ignoring the effects of the housing bubble and its unraveling. I really lost respect for their research after that…
BTW, the only super safe way to park money is in an FDIC insured account.
