Is Now The Time To Buy Coffee?
It’s not often I admit this, but I’m struggling with today’s article. I’m sitting here at my desk wondering what to write about. Do I write about the recent Obama / Chrysler game of chicken? Do I write about the rising price of oil? Do I write about the interesting stock I researched over the […]
Mistakes Made When Trading Gold
Just a few weeks ago I wrote a great piece on gold. Maybe you remember it? I told you it was time to buy. If you followed my advice, you’re a bit richer today for it. Just a few weeks after that article, gold rallied. The trade I suggested surged 19.5% in value… Not bad! […]
Which Way Are Oil Prices Headed?
Just two weeks ago I wrote about falling oil prices. Gas prices had crashed below the $2 mark. Oil was trading below $50 a barrel for the first time in months.

Oil & Gas ETFs
I was driving into the office earlier this week. It was like any other Monday. Stop and go traffic was grating on my nerves. I’d already emptied my to-go mug of coffee. The only thing on the radio was blather. To say the least, it was the start of another workweek. Then the news report […]

Last night I sat on my couch and watched the election returns. I’m sure you did the same. What we witnessed was nothing short of a historic election. This is truly an election for the record books.

OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) for those of you who don’t know is a global cartel of oil producing nations who meet regularly to set production levels. They have the […]
Oil & Gasoline Prices Will Head Higher
A few weeks ago I wrote about a huge success we had. At the beginning of the year I wrote about the Airlines. I knew they’d face some big problems from rising oil. Boy was I right. We even recommended puts on United Airlines in our Elite Options Trader service. Those puts yielded in less […]
Is Ethanol Really A Viable Alternative Fuel?
About 4 years ago I was sitting in a big hotel ballroom. I was attending an alternative energy conference in Washington DC. The movement to new energy technology was just starting, and the conference was still small in size. My job was to identify the most promising companies . . . and meet with their […]
High Corn Prices Will Impact Bottom Lines
This Friday’s the Fourth of July, and the markets are closed. As the most American of holidays, it’s celebrated with fireworks and barbecues around the nation. This is the biggest holiday of the summer, as it should be. We’re celebrating the independence of our great nation. What are you doing? This Fourth of July I’ll […]
