Is Inflation Around The Corner?
I have a quick question for you. Are you more concerned about inflation or deflation? Off the top of your head, which do you think is the bigger issue? If you’re having trouble answering that question, you’re not alone. Even the experts can’t figure it out. There are a lot of moving parts. And the […]
Is Your Gold In The Wrong Hands?
For more than three years, I’ve been telling everyone to buy gold. I wrote an article encouraging everyone to buy gold when it was trading for just $700 an ounce. Since then, gold prices have jumped significantly! I still think there’s tons of upside in gold… but a strange risk has floated to the surface… […]
Another Moon Shot For “Texas Tea”?
Just last week I was writing about crude oil. I talked about the importance of crude for world economies. We also talked about peak oil theory and its affect on oil prices. Now obviously, there are other important factors affecting oil prices besides “peak oil” theory. Current supply/demand figures, along with economic growth rates (GDP), […]
He Lied Right To My Face!
The stock market has always had a seedy underbelly. Less than desirable characters are always trying to make a quick buck off the uneducated and inexperienced. Just look at Bernie Madoff or Jeff Skilling of Enron fame. Both these guys would steal candy from a baby if it could make them money. Some con men […]
Did You Grab These Gains?
Right now I’m thinking more about Thanksgiving than the markets. I love the Thanksgiving holiday. My family always hosts a big gathering. Last year my family, extended family, and friends numbered 38 people for the big feast. This year it’s going to be more of the same. So many people attend we have tables everywhere. […]
What’s Killing The US Dollar?
The question of the day is simply, “What’s killing the US Dollar?” I wish the answer was easy, but like most things in life, it’s a bit complicated. The problem is… there are too many correct answers. It’s like all the Roman Senators stabbing Julius Caesar – “Et tu Brute?” Individually they all caused damage. […]
Using ETFs To Hedge Your Portfolio
Last week I was deep into research for the July issue of Sector ETF Trader when I was taking a moment to gather my thoughts. I turned my attention from my computer to the television. As usual, it was tuned onto CNBC. I turned up the volume and started listening to the talking heads. And […]
How To Profit From The Falling US Dollar
This weekend I got a call from my uncle. He recently switched jobs and now runs a small electrician’s office. In the flurry of new paperwork, he realized his 401K was still sitting at his old employer. He decided to roll it over to his new employer. He’s a smart guy. And he’s managed to […]
Protect Your Investment Portfolio Against Inflation And Stagflation
The results are in . . . and the results are surprising to say the least. Economic data posted this week shows that the US Economy grew during the first quarter at 0.9%. I was totally surprised, and I’m sure you were too. Given the deteriorating credit markets and the collapse of the housing industry […]
