Emerging Markets 2009 Recovery Investing ETF's / Companies / Investing 2009
By: Money_Morning
Martin Hutchinson writes: If you're an emerging-markets investor, and you happened to peruse the study that the Institute for International Finance released this week, you must've experienced alarm - if not panic. The IIF expects the inflow of private funds into these markets to plunge to only $165 billion this year - an amount that's just 18% of the $929 billion that flowed into these very same markets in 2007.

Income in a Zero Interest Rate World / Portfolio / Investing 2009
By: Andy_Sutton
One look at the yields on US Treasuries tells a good part of the story. Listening to Fed Chief Ben Bernanke gives us the rest: it is going to be very hard making any kind of money in many traditional fixed income instruments using the conventional method of clipping bond coupons. Certificates of Deposit won't be much better moving forward. It would seem as though we are destined for either zero or near zero short-term interest rates for at least the next year.

Obama's Role in the Next Stock Market Breakout Direction / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Oxbury_Research
A hunch is a dangerous thing… And nowhere is it more dangerous than in the investment world, where a wrong hunch can get you a one way ticket to poverty bay.
That said, we thought we'd let you know ours anyway. We have a hunch the market is ready for a very sizeable move. That shouldn't surprise you; after all the VIX is still hovering in the stratosphere, and big moves are, by definition, accompanied by elevated levels in volatility.

A Kinder, Gentler Investment Opportunity / Companies / Investing 2009
By: Oxbury_Research
Before we get into the meat of it and introduce you to a very compelling income opportunity, a few brief words on the overall market situation as it appears today. It will be important to bear these items in mind as the calamitous cacophony of media Chicken Littles sings its “sky is falling” reprise.
Take it to heart that:

Stock Markets to Bounce Or Not to Bounce– That Is The Question / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Captain_Hook
Like the others , it appears what was formerly reliable sentiment related analysis associated with the study of open interest put / call ratios has now succumb to an increasingly mature market(s) condition. Of course, technically, such a conclusion could be viewed as incorrect in that the reason stocks did not go up this week was not because of selling, but because of a buyers strike. This is why in spite of such devastatingly bad news associated with the economy, and there was a multitude of it this week, stocks did not fall more. It should be noted this has caught the attention of a great many market participants, which is the dynamic that will eventually set up the next round of ‘unwarranted complacency' we expect to grip investor psychology in spring, allowing for far stepper losses in stocks than is being witnessed at present.Read full article...

Revealed: The Holy Grail of Stem Cell Research / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Q1_Publishing
Last November, while the markets were cratering, we encouraged Prosperity Dispatch readers to take a step back from the doom and gloomers and look at what is really going on in the world. We were looking for opportunity in the carnage. When looking at the world, the aging demographics, and where most of the world's R&D spending is going, we naturally turned to stem cells. The opportunity here is tremendous. It's like buying oil in the late 90's or tech stocks in the early 90's. Sure, you won't get rich quick, but this one of the best spots to get really rich slowly.

Financial Markets Forecasts 2009 Special / News_Letter / Investing 2009
By: NewsLetter
January 23rd , 2009 Issue #4 Vol. 32008 was the year that collatorised debt obligations wiped out the capital bases of the west's biggest banks, which played itself out during September 2008 following the china syndrome chain reaction that followed the Lehman's bust that led to the unprecedented actions of capital injections and nationalisation of too big to fail banks that looks set to continue for the whole of 2009 and beyond. The crisis had been festering and growing since the August 2007 interbank market freeze due to flawed and some could say fraudulent mark to market valuation of worthless over leveraged mortgage backed CDO's.

Investing in Obama's Infrastructure Boom Profits / Companies / Investing 2009
By: Money_and_Markets
Larry Edelson writes: I wish President Obama the best of luck. He's going to need it. The U.S. — and indeed the entire globe — is in the thick of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
Ultimately, the economy and the markets will prevail, healing themselves according to their own timetable.

Financial Crisis Bear Markets, Things Are Always Worst at the Bottom / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: The_Gold_Report
The inimitable Dennis Gartman, who has been publishing his popular commentary since 1987, took a break from one of his busy days to chat with The Gold Report. As he reads it, things will get worse before they get better—but we're not facing Armageddon. In fact, he posits that the worse the news gets the closer we are to emerging from the economic morass. He agrees that liquidity injections by the Fed and central banks the world over will lead to inflation—but he foresees single-digit stuff as opposed to hyperinflation. He favors modest holdings in physical gold—but would rather lose money on the bullion and coins he personally holds. He buys into the peak oil argument—but doesn't expect the day the world runs out of crude oil to dawn for maybe 10,000 years. Read full article... Read full article...

Where the Stock Market, Gold and Silver are Headed Next / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Daniel_Smolski
January 20th, 2009 probably one of the biggest days of this year, marked by several key new appointments. We have inaugurated our 44th president, Barack Hussein Obama, elected into office with the hopes that he will bring with him, a magic wand and resolve two decades of excess liquidity and derivative growth. A hope that will, undoubtedly, be shattered very quickly. Obama will simply continuing doing what actually start this problem and that is, print more money (or the new politically correct term, quantitative easing). The only ideal “solution” at this point, is for current government to successfully create another bubble somewhere. Read full article... Read full article...

2009: Dollar, Debts and Deficits to Eventually Drive Commodities Higher / Commodities / Investing 2009
By: HRA_Advisory
Happier New Year - 2008 will (hopefully) go down as the most difficult year investors ever have to face. While we certainly are not promising a rapid return to a true bull market we think there will be profit opportunities going forward, some of them substantial.
Great risks remain however and even in the rosiest scenarios this will be a traders market for months if not years to come. Any gains in the market will be hard won and made against the backdrop of economic stats that will continue to be awful. It will be important to harvest profits when you're able and building cash for use later to patiently buy longer term bargains. We will cover a number of sub sectors in this first issue of 2009 with some comments at the end on the mining sector as a whole.

Investors Preserve Your Wealth during the Global Banking Crisis / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Gary_Dorsch
“Accepting losses is the single most important investment device to insure safety of capital. It is also the action that most people know the least about, and are least likely to execute. The most important single thing I learned is that accepting losses promptly is the first key to success. It's a great mistake to think that what goes down must come back-up,” warned Gerald Loeb, the Dean of Wall Street, in his epic book “The Battle for Investment Survival,” last copyrighted in 1965.

Jim Rogers Says Buy These Stocks / Companies / Investing 2009
By: Q1_Publishing
“Historically, the way you make money in times like these is that you find things where the fundamentals are unimpaired.” – Jim Rogers
That sounds easy enough, right? Just find unimpaired companies, buy them, and wait. In essence, there couldn't be better advice right now.

Credit Crisis Investing- Three Pronged Wroking Capital Model Strategy / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Steve_Selengut
One of the great things about being a professional investor is the opportunity one has to apply his or her long-term experience to the investment environment that is unfolding (or coming unglued) in the present.
If nothing else, most successful investors develop a consistent strategy that allows them to take advantage of short-term changes and the opportunities that they create in a somewhat unemotional manner. You can always tell a "newbie" by a "let's see how you do for a year" comment, or a "what's hot" question.

By: Money_and_Markets
Investors are already positioning themselves in U.S. stocks to make the most of the boom fueled by Obama's stimulus plan. While many of these picks could rally nicely as our government throws hundreds of billions at our economic problems, they're not outside the box. Or maybe I should say “outside the borders.” Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Markets Could Rise a Wall of Terror! / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Oxbury_Research
Just How Much Money is Out There? - There's no end to the talk of how much cash is sitting on the sidelines just raring to be put to good investment use. We hear of mutual funds net cash positions at all time highs; we hear of investors turning to – of all things – bank accounts and CDs to park their cash (say it isn't so!); we hear of foreign investors loading up on treasuries as a safe haven bet; and we wonder just how much money really is out there.
