We have received many inquiries recently regarding the difference between our premium subscription services and the free information we deliver through many various forums. Quite honestly, the difference is enormous as we provide very specific information only to our subscription members. In response, we’ve decided to offer a sneak peak into our subscription only information, available here.

June 17, 2007 - Hello. We’ve been busy adding two new stock research services, the U.S. Stock Picker and the Global Stock Picker, now available by clicking here, so that’s why the new postings here have not been as frequent. Unfortunately, with our two new services we won’t be posting as many free stock picks here anymore, but you can certainly look at our track record in the posting below. Imagine if those are our middle-tier picks, how the top-shelf picks of our fee services will perform!

June 4, 2007 - If you look at our free stock picks from just one day, October 30, 2006, EVERY SINGLE STOCK WE PROFILED that day has gained a significant amount, and on average they gained 35%. As well, you can view returns of the stocks we profile in our investment newsletter here. In fact, with most of these picks, if you bought them after we profiled them here, I would take one of two actions right now. Read more …

29 April 2007 - There’s a technique I call re-visiting the same stock that I’ve used many times to make easy 25% to 50% profits after taking triple-digit profits from the very same stock on my initial position. The way this technique works is that when I think that the stock starts looking toppy and perhaps the regional market it trades in starts looking toppy as well, I’ll sell out of the entire position and lock in profits.

April 2, 2007- This will be just a quick post as I discussed in great detail the topic of this post in a Special Member Alert that I sent only to paid-up SmartKnowledgeU™ members several weeks ago. Back then, I discussed the corrections in the U.S., Chinese and Indian markets and discussed specifically how members should be positioning their portfolios Read more …

March 13, 2007 - In a Special Bulletin that I sent to SmartKnowledgeU members only last week I wrote, “If you go back and check archived news in the U.S. financial media you will actually find stories of financial journalists who wrote about the correction in the U.S. markets being a one-day event. I noted that this was foolish and that sustained weakness was far more likely.” Read more …

February 8, 2007- Occasionally, I’ll revisit prior blog entries and provide a very quick update. Several months ago, I said that I would avoid buying stocks of Chinese banks. Despite the recent comments of a top Chinese politician that the Chinese stock market was manifesting the signs of a “bubble” ready to burst, China’s economic growth appears to be more sustainable for now in comparison to India. My comment about avoiding Chinese bank stocks despite the great fanfare their IPOs were receiving in the global financial media was simply due to the fact that the sacrifice of strict risk management controls in pursuit of profits and spiraling growth makes a fine recipe for future disaster.

January 11, 2007 - The sharp decline in energy prices in 2007 and the decline in gold has a lot of people running for the hills, including many hedge fund managers who don’t want to become the next Brian Hunter of Amaranth. I’ve stated this before and I’ll state it again. Precious metal ETFs and commodity futures are great for hedge fund managers but terrible for the average investor because hedge fund managers, for the most part, only care about trends and profits in their own wallet (but who doesn’t, right?). But by being able to buy and sell precious metals via ETFs, ETFs have increased volatility in these markets exponentially. Read more …

In Part I of this two-part blog entry, I said that I would discuss some specific Asian companies that would benefit from the global technology adoption of Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6). Two Chinese companies, KongZhong (NASDAQ:KONG) and ZTE Corporation (ZTCOF.PK) may fit the bill. Read more …

December 19, 2006 - Vision is more important than minutiae in discovering stocks that will soar. Let’s consider one of the biggest changes on the technology horizon of the next decade (and already in play in Asia) that many people outside of the technology industry are not even aware of. What is it? Internet Protocol Version 6, or IPv6, as it is better known. Read more …

December 13, 2006- I remember a King of the Hill Episode (an American TV show) where the main character asks his Laotian neighbor, “Are you Japanese or Chinese?” The neighbor answers, “Laotian”, to which the Caucasian character immediately replies, “So. Are you Japanese or Chinese?” As I’m recalling this from memory, that might not be the exact transcript, but it’s very close. Although this episode was poking overt fun at the often-joked about inability of some Caucasians to distinguish among the many different Asian ethnicities, and the consequent marginalization of all Asians to either the category of Chinese or Japanese, too often in economic discussions, all of Asia is lumped together as well.

December 12, 2006 - Back on October 23rd, I blogged about not liking the excessive risk inherent in many Chinese banks. Instead, I looked to India for much better managed banks with high potential growth in seeking investment opportunities in the financial sector. Specifically I mentioned ICICI bank and HDFC bank.

December 7, 2006 - This blog entry is kind of a part II to my post about global warming opening up new shipping lanes in the Arctic Circle. Wang Shuguang, Director of the State Oceanography Bureau, in China recently stated: “in the past 20 years, the total output value of ocean industry has increased to 327 billion yuan and the annual average growth rate is about 25 percent which is much higher than the average growth rate of the national economy.” Read more …

October 30, 2006 - With the new politically manipulated and artificially created highs in the U.S. stock markets, which in turn has spurred optimism in other global markets, there has been much accompanying speculation about oil retreating to $40 a barrel oil and even to $20 a barrel (which I think will never happen).
Personally, I think we’ll see a continued rebound in the oil and natural gas sectors in the short term. But long term, I think the much better way to play these markets is not with the major players such as Exxon, British Petroleum and the like, but either with junior companies that have more room to grow both in market share and in price appreciation, and with those companies that will benefit from the inevitable capex spending that big oil will now engage in to sustain future revenues.

October 30, 2006 - “The United States is a damned country that deserves only to be cursed. It declares its own occupation of our lands legitimate, but brands our resistance as terrorist”- Ahmed Ibrahim, Libyan parliament deputy speaker, April 2006.
I opened this blog with that comment to illustrate that money and greed will many times take precedence over issues of national security or the democratic desires of people. This is a concept that is extremely difficult for many people to grasp, especially those that have fallen victim to the mass media’s snow job (no pun intended in regards to U.S. White House Press Secretary Tony Snow).
