These 3 Investments Are the Plays to Make During Recession / Stock-Markets / Investing 2016
BY PATRICK WATSON: The global economy is stuck in neutral in spite of the “whatever it takes” efforts of central bankers.
The eventual fallout from near zero or even negative interest rates is a huge unknown. Given the lack of historical precedent, even the best and brightest market observers admit it’s hard to create useful macroeconomic models.

Few Buys in Global Stock Markets After Rallies / Companies / Investing 2016
Money manager Adrian Day provides an update of his non-resource holdings and his interpretation of the Federal Reserve's activities.
All of the Business Development Companies have moved up strongly in recent months from their grossly oversold year-end levels, in line with many other "dividend" plays, such as utilities. In general, we are holding, given the still-high yields and improvements at the companies, but not buying given the strong recent stock movement as well as yields that are coming down to historical norms.

TONY SAGAMI writes: What kind of investor are you? Are you the buy-high-sell-higher (trend continuation) type? Or are you a bargain hunter who likes beaten-down (trend reversal) opportunities?
The former type of investor is now in heaven. With the stock market at new highs, there are many stocks on fire.
But if you’re looking for bargains, the pickings are pretty slim.

Americans favour Coffee over Financial Freedom / Stock-Markets / Investing 2016
A little and a little, collected together, becomes a great deal; the heap in the barn consists of single grains, and drop and drop make the inundation.
Saadi
Towards the end of last year, we published an article titled Americans favour coffee to stock market investing where we demonstrated that an overwhelming majority drink coffee as opposed to investing in the stock market’ 61% of Americans drink coffee on a daily basis as opposed to the 48% that invest in the market. On aannual basis, Americans spend about $1200 on coffee. If they put this money into the market and allowed compound interest to do its magic, it could grow into a nice tidy sum over a period of 20 years.

How Investors Can Leverage the Most Powerful Force in the Universe / Stock-Markets / Investing 2016
Andrew Gordon writes: Investing in the early days of an initial public offering (IPO) isn’t what it used to be.
Last year’s IPOs are a shining example. Shares of tech companies that IPO’d in 2015 averaged around a 40% drop from their first-day closing price to current prices.
The kind of gains you would have gotten from Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) (over 35,000% since its IPO), Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) (over 53,000%) and Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) (nearly 16,000%) are nowhere to be found among newly minted public companies.
