This week we start with a true story which is not usually how I begin and never where I end, but this one caught my eye in a recent Wall Street Journal – owned by News Corp. (NWS) – article. And as we all know, anything that is printed in the Wall Street Journal must be true.

It is an appropriate earnings season article and may even involve stocks like Pulte Homes (PHM), Beazer Homes (BZH), KB Homes (KBH), Hovnanian (HOV), and DR Horton (DHI) -- or whatever is left of them. But it’s up to you to decide if this story has a truly happy ending…

8) Exclusive Special Report! “Can The Book Industry Turn The Page On A Disastrous Recession?” |
|
Be one of the first to read and reap from this options trade based report.
Summary: Book sales fell 1.5% from 2007 to 2008. Customers are turning to internet sites such as Amazon to meet their needs rather than traveling to their local bookstores. New technologies are also fueling the decline of book industry fixtures such as Barnes & Noble and Borders Books. Gadgets like the Kindle and Sony Reader are further popularizing the concept of e-books at the expense of in-print versions. Publishers too face challenges as they struggle to uphold their copyrights in the face of massive scanning sessions by large companies in an attempt to post novels online. How will these shifts in technology affect the book industry? Which companies will profit and which will perish? We will discuss these questions and other changes that might occur.
Stocks Covered: Barnes & Noble (BKS), Borders Group (BGP), Amazon.com (AMZN), McGraw-Hill Cos. (MHP), Sony (SNE)
Target Returns: Up to 29.9% or 151.4% Annualized*
Downside Protection: Up to 19.0%
Investor Level: Beginner to Advanced
Risk Level: Moderate Relative Risk
