Stock Investing Top Profit Plays for a Defensive Portfolio / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Money_Morning

And in today's markets - whipsawed by worries emanating from virtually every major market around the globe - a defensive-investing plan needs to include protective stops, inverse funds, high-yielding dividend shares, "sin stocks, and investments in oil and other value-storing commodities," Keith Fitz-Gerald, the best-selling author who is Money Morning's chief investment strategist, said in an interview this week.

By: Richard_Shaw
If you are out of the equity markets as a result of stops last week. The question of re-entry
conditions arises.
The US futures are up strongly this morning as a result, no doubt, of the nearly $1 trillion European bailout package for Greece and other contingent country credit problems (Spain, being the largest economy of concern).

By: Money_Morning

Sir John Templeton, Financial Chaos and Investing / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Janet_Tavakoli
When my friends Lauren Templeton and Scott Philips gave me a copy of their delightful book, Investing the Templeton Way, they included a memorandum Sir John Templeton sent to Lauren, his great-niece, in 2005.*
Sir John Templeton came from humble origins, founded the Templeton Funds (later bought by Franklin Investments), and died a billionaire in 2008, four months shy of his 96th birthday. Like the book that summarizes his strategies, his memo is written in plain English but communicates profound ideas:

Investment Mega Trends, A Dangerous Mix of Water and Oil / Commodities / Investing 2010
By: Uncommon_Wisdom
Oil and water aren’t supposed to mix, but these two resources could brew up plenty of trouble in the near future. In recent issues, I’ve told you how I think oil prices are going to be squeezed higher. As for water, both the CIA and the World Bank have identified water as one of the key flashpoints of the 21st Century. And it turns out you can’t get oil without water. There are some moves you should be making in your portfolio to protect against this, and potentially profit as well.

How Capital Waves Are Creating the Biggest Profit Opportunities in Today’s Markets / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Money_Morning
Shah Gilani writes: Back when oil was trading at a record high of $145 a barrel - and was generally expected to go higher - I concluded that the forces at play were speculative, not fundamental - driven by new institutional money looking to diversify away from too many concentrated equity bets. I argued these forces were temporary, and not entrenched, meaning that oil prices were actually headed for a fall. Read full article... Read full article...

By: Money_Morning
Martin Hutchinson writes: If you're a U.S. investor, you can't be happy about the prospects for your portfolio.

Which Stocks and Sectors Will Lead the Economic Recovery? / Companies / Investing 2010
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: A lot of my commentary lately on the markets has been relatively short-term oriented. Today let's take a moment to pan back and consider the weekly perspective, which is rather benign, even positive.
From this point of view, stocks are broadly recovering from their most oversold condition since March of last year -- and the release of the energy stored up then persisted at near-full strength for three months.

ETFs Beat HOLDRS Hands Down! / Companies / Investing 2010
By: Ron_Rowland
If you’ve been reading my Money and Markets columns for any length of time, you know I’m a big proponent of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). And I think they’re one of the most exciting investment innovations in decades.
