By: Money_Morning

In fact, investors who rely on long-held rules about Price/Earnings (P/E) ratios when they buy and sell stocks are risking a pretty big "haircut:" They may be overvaluing some of their stocks - and the stock market in general - by 17% to 20%.

How to Profit From a Slowing U.S. Economy During Second Half of 2010 / Companies / Investing 2010
By: Money_Morning
Larry D. Spears writes: As much as the architects of the U.S. stimulus might otherwise wish, it's becoming increasingly apparent that the U.S. economy won't be hot-rodding its way into a higher gear in the year's second half.
At best, the U.S. economy will chug along in low gear - managing only minimal overall growth, while bouncing over economic speed bumps that exist in more than a few key sectors. At worst, the engine of economic recovery will sputter, or stall completely - leaving Americans stranded alongside the fiscal roadside, or to roll backward into a double-dip recession.

By: DailyWealth
Porter Stansberry writes: This month, I faced one of the most difficult choices of my career as an investment analyst.
If you've been reading my Investment Advisory or DailyWealth for more than a month, you probably know I'm concerned with exploding levels of government debt in Europe and the United States.

Stocks and Bonds, Shun These Two Bad Investments / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Gary_North
The public has been told that the way to wealth is investing. The way to invest, Ph.D. economists tell the public, is to allocate your portfolio between stocks and bonds. Which stocks? An index of American stocks, preferably the S&P 500. Buy a no-load fund. Same with bonds: a mix of mid-term and long-term AAA-rated corporate and Treasury bonds.

High Yield Master Limited Partnerships (MLP's) Investment Plays / Companies / Investing 2010
By: The_Energy_Report
Interested in long-term, high-yield investment plays with certain deferred tax advantages? Master limited partnerships (MLPs) may be for you. Even through the recent downturn, most MLPs were able to maintain distributions and fund capital projects—especially investment-grade names. MLP units are traded on public exchanges just like corporate stock. "The difference," says Wells Fargo Senior Energy MLP Analyst Michael Blum, "is that MLPs are structured as partnerships." In this exclusive interview with The Energy Report, Michael explains the ins and outs of MLP investing and provides some names to get you started.

I told my readers to add to their gold positions in October 2004, when gold crossed above the $400 level …
