September 16, 2006 – People continually employ flawed and deceptive statistics when making their investment decisions. In the short term, the performance of the U.S. stock market has enormous influence on all other major stock markets. One of the most closely watched indexes to gauge U.S. economic conditions is the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which [...]

September 15, 2006 – Although you hear a lot about alternative energy being a good investment today, I think that it’s still a lot more hype than reality. Yes I’ve heard the arguments for alternative energy investments such as high oil prices now make the development of alternative energy sources more appealing on a cost-benefit [...]

September 14, 2006 This is the first time I have ever provided information on short-term trades because they are just too unpredictable and they take too much emotional effort to invest in. There are a lot of longer (not long but longer) term investments that can pay off quite handsomely so that’s what we normally [...]

September 13, 2006 – I recently blogged about gold’s sharp decline but wanted to follow up with another blog so people don’t get my message twisted. I am still very confident that after this correction ends that gold will go much much higher. In addition, in my newsletter when I wrote that I had predicted [...]

September 13, 2006 – Everybody always thinks that smart people make money. But that’s far from the truth because smart people often lack the proper kind of intelligence. Probably less than 1/10th of 1% in the world have the book smarts to become a nuclear physicist but every year, the CEO of Goldman Sachs will [...]

September 12, 2006 – Today, I’m taking a brief respite from my daily financial blubbering to just write a movie list, with the common theme that all of these movies dig down the rabbit hole. So these are not necessarily what I feel are the best movies of all time but the best movies that [...]

Q: Who’s Reading My Blog? Hello everyone. I know my blog is still in its prenatal phases. In fact, our final blog website design hasn’t even been consummated. But Google Analytics is a great service that lets me know where the majority of my readers live. I thought I was fairly knowledgeable about world geography [...]

September 11, 2006 – On July 25th, in my E-Zine Issue #013, I mentioned that I thought the U.S. dollar was going to strengthen and that gold was going to fall. Since then the dollar has rallied for six straight weeks and reached six-week highs on August 8th against most major world currencies, recouping all [...]

September 11, 2006 – Gold has a non-deserved reputation as a speculative investment. True it is highly volatile and will most likely be even more volatile now that Gold ETFs are open to hedge funds. However volatile is not to be confused with speculative. They are not the same. In fact it is volatility that [...]

September 10, 2006 – Everyone who has ever watched an episode of CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) knows that in order to solve crimes, crime scene investigators must determine a suspect’s motive. Likewise, a key determinant in tracking a serial killer is the psychological profile drawn up by FBI agents. Investment firms are well known for [...]

September 9, 2006 – We are on the brink of a major global economic crisis that I have named the Peak Investment Crisis. The Peak Investment Crisis could dwarf the pullbacks that caused a 10% decline in the London FTSE, a 35% decline in the Indian markets, a 30% decline in the Brazilian markets, and [...]

September 4, 2006 – If you ask thirty of your friends that invest in the stock market what their average returns have been for the last decade, chances are that their returns are all within a same range of returns give or take 5%. However perhaps one will stand out of the crowd, averaging 15%, [...]

September 3, 2006 – In 2006, we stand at a vital crossroads in investing. After more than a two decade long bear market in a particular asset, we believe that we are poised to see one of the greatest bull runs of this asset of our lifetimes – a once in a lifetime opportunity to [...]
