Investor European Escape Hatch From the U.S. Recession / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Money_Morning
Martin Hutchinson writes:
When I speak with the U.S. subscribers to my Permanent Wealth Investor advisory service, there's one bit of wisdom that I repeat time and again: Just because you're living through a recession doesn't mean that your money has to.
If that's a high-falutin way of telling folks to invest globally, so be it. The reality is that there are other places to invest than in the U.S. economy - and many of those "other" spots offer much better returns.

By: Static_Chaos
Booming demand from emerging economies--especially China-- in addition to near-perfect weather in western France, is sending prices of Bordeaux soaring 28% within a one-month time.

Buy and Hold Investment Strategy Can Still Be Effective / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: John_Browne
As Americans have justifiably lost faith in the stock market, the classic buy-and-hold investment strategy has fallen from favor. The problem is that retail investors are wrongly equating the performance of stocks as a class with the trajectory of American stocks in particular. Fortunately, buy-and-hold still works in many parts of the world. If you are an American, just don't try it at home.

Think Small Cap Stocks When Investing International / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Ron_Rowland
You won’t be surprised when I say the U.S. markets are lousy right now. Can you find niches that are performing well? Sure — I often highlight these for you when I see them. But most U.S. stocks and sectors are going sideways at best. Moreover, I don’t see the situation changing in the near future.

By: Frank_Holmes
There’s been plenty of bleak news coming out of the equity markets and the U.S. economy as a whole. Are there opportunities hidden within that bad news?

How Investors Can Earn 18% Without Buying a Single Stock / Housing-Market / Investing 2010
By: Jared_Levy
I recently put one of my townhomes on the housing market to sell. It has been completely remodeled and is in a great location at a price that is the lowest in the area and by far the cheapest when compared to similar units in square footage, location and finish out. (No, I'm not trying to sell you my home.)

Long-Term Investment Case for Stocks and Commodities Stronger than Case for Bonds / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Chris_Ciovacco
In their understandably concerned state of mind in the present day, investors may have lost sight of the longer-term drivers of asset prices. Bonds, especially U.S. Treasuries, have merit presently as high levels of debt have sparked concerns about deflation. However, in the long-run, the case for stocks, commodities, commodity-related currencies, and precious metals looks quite a bit stronger than the case for bonds.

Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) are Strong Investment Vehicles in Uncertain Economic Circumstances / Companies / Investing 2010
By: The_Energy_Report
Credit Suisse Analyst Yves Siegel believes master limited partnerships (MLPs) are strong investment vehicles, particularly in uncertain economic circumstances. "I don't think there are many other places where investors can put their dollars and get a nice return with very moderate risk," he explains. In this exclusive interview with The Energy Report, Yves talks about the "Big Kahuna" and a handful of other well-managed MLP names with impressive yields and sector-leading growth prospects.

U.S. Treasury Bonds vs Dow Jones 30 Yield Analysis / Interest-Rates / Investing 2010
By: Dian_L_Chu
Government bonds across the globe are benefiting from concern about anemic economic growth, the risk of deflation in the US, and the Federal Reserve’s decision to reinvest maturing bonds and buy US Treasuries. Yields on Japanese, German, UK and US government bonds fell to fresh multi-month and, in some cases, all-time lows.

Protect Your Wealth From the Government, Expatriate Your Wallet / Personal_Finance / Investing 2010
By: Casey_Research
Terry Coxon, contributing author of Casey Research’s ‘Going Global’ Special Report writes: If everything you own is held in your own name in your own country, then you are not merely exposed, you are vulnerable absolutely, to whatever decisions the government might make about how you should behave and who gets the wealth you've earned. Tomorrow's new government measure, which might land out of the blue, could be a law that affects everyone, or it could be a rule devised to deal with people like you. Or, it could be an administrative action aimed at you alone. In any case, with all your assets at home, you'd find out how the lobster feels when his trap is being hauled out of the water. Nothing he can do about it.

Who Has It Right, Stock or Bond Market Investors? / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Richard_Shaw
As David Rosenberg put it today, "One has to question which asset class has it right – stocks or bonds. It is extremely difficult to square a sustained economic recovery which is what the equity bulls are telling us with a $38 billion 2-year note auction that was sold at a new record low-yield of 0.665% (as was the case on Tuesday)."Read full article...

One of the Great Secrets of Commodity Investing / Commodities / Investing 2010
By: DailyWealth
Matt Badiali writes: By now, just about everyone in America has heard of the huge "unconventional" natural gas boom we've enjoyed in this country.
Earlier this decade, people were worried the U.S. was running out of natural gas... a vital commodity we use to produce chemicals, heat our homes, and generate electricity. From 1980 to 1999, domestic natural gas reserves fell 18%. Production only grew 1% a year on average. In short, we were pumping out more than we were finding... for nearly two decades.

By: Money_Morning
Jason Simpkins writes: Speed kills. And in the fast food industry, it's imperative.
The speed of service and the ability to quickly adapt menus, packaging and advertising are what makes a market leader. And right now, the speed at which fast food companies make the transition into foreign markets, particularly China, is what matters most of all.

Investors Profit From the Cap-and-Trade Charade / Commodities / Investing 2010
By: Money_Morning
Martin Hutchinson writes: When U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, D-NV, last week disclosed that the so-called "cap-and-trade" energy proposal that passed the U.S. House of Representatives last year would not be taken up by the Senate, climate-bill proponents were deeply dismayed.
Indeed, Financial Times columnist Clive Crook even said that the United States "has let the world down on climate."
