Where to Invest: With Macroinvestors or Macroeconomists / Stock-Markets / Investing 2014
By: Fred_Sheehan
Stanley Druckenmiller, the justly renowned investor, spoke at the Delivering Alpha conference on Wednesday, July 16, 2014. Quoting Druckenmiller: "As a macro investor, my job for 30 years was to anticipate changes in the economic trends that were not expected by others - and therefore not yet reflected in securities prices. I certainly made my share of mistakes over the years, but I was fortunate enough to make outsized gains a number of times when we had different views from various central banks."

Rock Concerts, and How to Find On-Sale Stocks to Fuel a Rock-Star Retirement / Portfolio / Investing 2014
By: Don_Miller
Have you ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes at a rock concert? My good friend Stew is a top audio engineer—you know, the guy who wears thousand-dollar headphones and stands below the stage manning dials at rock concerts the world over. I shadowed him backstage a handful of times, and the scene was not what I thought it would be. Sure, they all dressed the rocker part, but I was blown away by everyone’s professionalism.

Using Supply and Demand to Beat the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Investing 2014
By: Casey_Research
By Dan Steinhart, Managing Editor, The Casey Report
It’s an investing strategy so simple, you’ll wonder why you didn’t think of it.
Like any other market, the stock market obeys the laws of supply and demand. Reduce supply, and prices should rise.
Therefore, companies that reduce their outstanding shares by buying back their own stock should outperform the market.

How to Score Massive Profits From the Russia-China Energy Deal / Companies / Investing 2014
By: Money_Morning
Michael A. Robinson writes: You’ve probably already heard about the new natural gas pact between Russia and China. In the deal, China promises to buy Russian natural gas worth roughly $400 billion over the next 30 years.
Most investment analysts are busy pointing out the obvious – that this is good for Russia’s energy sector. And maybe some of you are fuming about what this might mean for the U.S. economy and its natural gas segment.

By: The_Gold_Report
How do you calculate ROI on investment conferences? They often require travel expenses, time away from the office and some eating of rubber chicken with mysterious sauces.

The Underpants Gnomes Business Plan / Companies / Investing 2014
By: John_Mauldin
By Grant Williams
This week’s TTMYGH will be a little shorter than usual (“Thank heavens!” I hear you cry) owing to my presence at the Strategic Investment Conference 2014 this past week and the travel time to and fro.
Due to the hectic schedule and the fact that there were so many interesting people in attendance, I had planned to spend my week dragging as much knowledge as I possibly could out of those who made the trip to San Diego rather than committing finger to keyboard; but a chance encounter with a delightful young lady initiated an engaging conversation which, in turn, led to my discovery of the Underpants Gnomes.

How to Put Money in Your Pocket… And Send Wall Street on the Run / Companies / Investing 2014
By: Money_Morning
Michael A. Robinson writes: It was Sir Francis Bacon who gave us the truism that "knowledge is power."
And the 17th century English philosopher and statesman did so centuries before Wall Street was even conceived.
But the brokers, fund managers, and other pros who dreamed up the investment markets knew a good thing when they saw it. They embraced Bacon's maxim, launched the first U.S. stock exchange in 1790, and spent the next two centuries transforming this country's individual investors into scared vassals of the Wall Street elite.

You Can Make Money in Stocks No Matter What Rates Do / Companies / Investing 2014
By: Money_Morning
It's commonly held wisdom that stock markets go to heck in a hand basket when interest rates rise. So, the thinking goes, you'd be better off selling ahead of time before that happens.
No doubt it's tempting to head for the hills with rates at historical lows, but it pays to do your research before you hit the "sell" button.

These Companies May Decide the Fate of Ukraine / Companies / Investing 2014
By: Money_Morning
William Patalon III writes: If you've been watching the developments between Russia and Ukraine in recent days, then I'm sure you've seen reports of the sobering military buildups taking place on both sides of the border.
Today I want to spend a little time updating you on these escalations.
But then I plan to tell you about the real skirmish there - one that's not being reported on by the mainstream media. In fact, it may have already ended the battle in Moscow's favor.

Do Not Let The Next Economic Downturn Leave You Penniless / Personal_Finance / Investing 2014
By: Don_Miller
Doug Casey is emphatic that a downturn will affect us all. When it comes, we want to minimize the damage. That’s particularly challenging for baby boomers and seniors who may be at, or past, the end of their careers.
In the past I’ve shared some experiences from speakers who had real world experience with hyperinflation. It is not pretty. They were quite candid that many previously wealthy seniors and savers ended up penniless before things got under control. That’s the ultimate catastrophic loss.

These CEOs Will Make Investors Rich / Companies / Investing 2014
By: Money_Morning
William Patalon writes: During the 30 years I've spent as a business journalist and financial columnist, I've developed a long list of personal axioms that have helped me identify "Best of Breed" investments.
These axioms touch on such topic areas as finance, marketing, intellectual property, and even competitive threats. But some of the most important of my personal investment aphorisms have to do with leadership and a company's management team.

Six Ways to Profit from Russia’s Geopolitical Posturing / Companies / Investing 2014
By: DailyGainsLetter
George Leong writes: The situation in Crimea should be closely monitored as it pertains to Europe and the eurozone. Russia is a major trading partner with the eurozone as well, supplying about 40% of the energy requirements in the area. That is why an escalation in Crimea could devastate the region, especially at a time when the economy is finally growing in the eurozone.
