Money Flow Implications of 2011 U.S. Investor Tax Rates / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Richard_Shaw
To the extent that federal tax rates drive investor behaviors and money flows, and to the extent that 2011 federal tax rates simply revert to prior rates under “sunset” provisions; 2011 would be a year in which municipal bonds rise in relative appeal versus other debt instruments, and equity income declines in relative appeal versus stock capital gains.

By: Investment_U
David Fessler writes: It was a crisp, cold night. 8:30 PM. I was dressed in black, as was my friend and partner-in-crime. (He asked that I not use his real name, so I’ll call him Pete.)

Chris Potter Eyes Opportunities in Appetites for Energy and Food / Commodities / Investing 2010
By: The_Energy_Report
For environmental, financial and political reasons—not to mention to satisfy an energy-hungry world—Northern Border Capital Management founder Chris Potter sees some interesting opportunities for investors in alternative fuels on the horizon. One of his picks is a company using plasma gasification technology to produce clean-burning fuels. In this exclusive Energy Report interview, Chris also explains why he's bullish on natural gas. Politically incorrect though natural gas may be, he isn't overly worried about North America's abundant supply finding a home. Agribusiness is yet another arena that appeals to Chris, from the potential for domestic potash production for Brazil's huge agricultural sector to the extraction of protein from canola seeds to help feed the planet's growing population.

How to Profit From Macau, the Las Vegas of Asia / Companies / Investing 2010
By: Tony_Sagami
I was raised on a vegetable farm in western Washington, so I’ve always felt more at home in the country than in big, crowded cities. That’s why I choose to raise my children in Montana.
When it comes to crowds, it doesn’t get more crowded than places like Jakarta, Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, and Hong Kong, so I seldom turn down a chance to spend some time in an Asian version of Petticoat Junction.

Investors Greater Rewards From Investing Abroading / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: John_Browne
President Obama's State of the Union message only serves to reinforce my forecast that investors will continue to find better returns in markets outside America and in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Indeed, the reward gap may well increase.

PIMCO's Bill Gross Says Invest in 'Less Levered' Countries / Economics / Investing 2010
By: Trader_Mark
This morning we had Jeremy Grantham's much read quarterly letter, and now we have Bill Gross' widely followed monthly letter. In this month's missive, he essentially summarizes where we plan to be invested long for the next few decades - countries who act (relatively) fiscally responsible, with solid demographics, and either are modern commodity rich "Western" nations or developing countries who are akin to investing in the US in the 1950s, 1960s. Old habits die hard and people still believe the fiscally irresponsible, borrow / spend developed economies are still the place to be... they are "safe". bah.

By: Mac_Slavo
The trend going forward during this economic depression is getting back to basics. We often discuss ‘prepping’ as a way to protect your family in the event of an unforeseen catastrophe (natural or man-made). Recently, we’ve seen more financial analysts and advisers recommend shifting from traditional investments like stocks, bonds, CD’s and money market accounts, to tangible assets that will gain value regardless of what stock and bond markets do.

Protect Your Portfolio From Global Emergencies in Energy, Water, Food, Climate and Debt / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Sean_Brodrick
The global economy is an amazing study in contradictions. China and India both seem to be booming again, while our economy and nation has some serious problems.
America’s problems include a huge and growing national debt, stubbornly high unemployment, a Congress that is for sale to the highest bidder and more. These problems should continue to weigh on America’s economic recovery, and should steepen any real market correction.

Smarter Stock Market Investing in Defensive Stocks for Profits in 2010 / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: For U.S. investors looking to profit in the near term, the best offense may be a good defense.
