Why You Need A PR Expert For Your Financial Startup / Companies / Marketing
By: Submissions
Public Relations (PR) is a term we’ve heard all too often, usually in conversations concerning the marketing of a business. But not many have a grasp on what it truly means and, more importantly, the benefits that it bears.
Public Relations is all about conveying the right message, to the right people at the right time in an effort to create a stronger brand presence and reputation. A well-developed PR program for your business can help you enhance your marketing efforts. In addition, investing in PR can be transformative for a business's future and profitability.
Organizations that have caught on to this are investing considerable time and resources into staying on top of their PR strategies, and as a result, are generating greater returns.

TENCENT- Chinese High Risk GAMING Metaverse Stock Analysus for Investing 2022 and Beyond / Companies / China Stocks
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Tencent, China's gaming giant's stock price has collapsed under the weight of the communist dictatorships enthusiasm to control the minds of China's masses. They don't want workers to 'waste' time playing video games when they can be busy building skyscrapers even 'ghost' cities that few will ever live in that are already fast crumbling into dust. Still Tencent gives on exposure to potentially hundreds of millions of chinese gamers who are even more eager to seek escape from a totalitarian state into the virtual freedom of virtual worlds.
The financials for Tencent are neither great nor bad, as the corporations' earnings are suffering in response to CCP mafia style interference, demanding their VIG or the corporation will be put up against a wall and SHOT as some have been. Despite this the long-term trend trajectory of the corporations financials appear good i.e. extract short-term noise and look at the big picture and we are are going to see a doubling in revenues and profits over the next 3-4 years which should resolve in at least a doubling in the stock price. The current PE of 20 is the lowest the stocks traded at for at least 5 years so the stock is cheap.

Gold Price Forecast 2022 - The Golden Year / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2022
By: Gary_Tanashian
The NFTRH big picture view for gold has been bullish since calling a top in mid-2020
Pardon the promotional sound of the title. I realize it, and I’m putting it up there anyway. There is a time for temperance and there is a time for promotion. Too many in the gold sphere forget about that first thing when risk is high, and in August, 2020 it was at nosebleed levels.
As you can see, the ‘real’ commodity adjusted price of gold was already in a long-term bull market from 2008 and it had actually turned up in 2019 before getting put all out of whack during 2020’s deflationary fear fest. The relief shown in this indicator has been in play for as long as the public has been aware of the inflation created by the Fed and the ‘inflation trades’ associated with it.

Will 2022 Be Better for Gold Than 2021? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2021
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
2021 was bad for gold. Unfortunately, 2022 doesn’t look any better, especially at the beginning. The end, however, gives the yellow metal some hope…
Bye, bye 2021! It definitely wasn’t a year of gold. As the chart below shows, the yellow metal lost 5% of its value over the last twelve months, declining from $1,887.60 on December 30, 2020, to $1,794.25 on December 29, 2021. Thus, the gold bulls won’t miss 2021, I guess.

Gold Stocks – Wishing And Hoping (And Losing) / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2021
By: Kelsey_Williams
GOLD STOCKS – WISHING AND HOPING
As is the case with both silver (see Waiting On Silver) and gold, so too has the waiting game proved to be unprofitable for gold stocks. Wishing and hoping for better results doesn’t change the reality of losing (losing – “failing to gain or retain; being deprived of”).

By: Nadeem_Walayat
Google $2980, PE 28.7, EC 30.
Earnings 2nd best to Microsoft. Though it is higher risk due to despite all the AI noise remains a one trick pony at heart i.e. an advertising company. So in light of earnings I am raising the buying level a little to $2675 with no firm plans to buy ay more right now.
Google Insiders - Buy / Sell ratio 48%. Buying at $0 cost and then going on to sell at above $2800.

Stock Market Santa Rally Challenge / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2021
By: Monica_Kingsley
S&P 500 feels like hanging by the fingernails – tech down and value retreating intraday. Correction of prior steep upswing is here – the bears will try some more, but I‘m not looking for them to get too far. The signs are there to knock the bulls somewhat down, and fresh ATHs look to really have to wait till next week.
Checking up on the VIX, financials and consumer discretionaries confirms the odds of the bears stepping in today, and perhaps also tomorrow (depending upon today‘s close). The repelled HYG downswing likewise doesn‘t represent a significant risk-off turn (yet) – instead, we appear to be on the doorstep of another rotation, and its depth would be determined by how well tech is able to hold near current levels.
Looking at precious metals, commodities and cryptos, the sellers of this risk-on rally have good odds of closing in the black for today. Earliest signs of stabilization would come from bonds, tech and cryptos – that‘s where I‘m mostly looking today.

2022 – The Year of (Gold) Inflation? / Economics / Inflation
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
High inflation won’t go away in 2022. Good for gold. However, it is likely to continue to climb and reach its peak. That sounds a bit worse for gold.If 2021 was tough for you, I don’t recommend reading Nostradamus’ predictions for the next year. This famous French astrologer saw inflation, hunger, and much more coming in 2022:
So high the price of wheat,
That man is stirred
His fellow man to eat in his despair
Yuk! So, life is about to get a little more complicated: we must now avoid becoming infected and being eaten by our fellow citizens! If you are interested in how cannibalism will affect the gold market, I’m afraid that I don’t have adequate data. Anyway, if you end up in the pot together with vegetables and your colleagues, gold’s performance probably won’t be your top priority.

Overvalued Stocks and Housing Perfect Storm for Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2021
By: Nick_Barisheff
In December 1997, The Financial Times ran an article entitled “The Death of Gold.” Since then, the gold price in US dollars has increased 519% from $288 to $1,780. Today, after many political events and crises we have evidence of the continuous and in many ways spectacular growth of the gold price. This confluence of many current events is creating a perfect storm for gold to increase dramatically more than we imagined.
Currency Devaluation
Typically, currency devaluation is always at the heart of a rising gold price. This has been taking place in all of the major fiat currencies, resulting in an average annual price increase in gold of over 10% since 2000.

A magic word spoken by the government creates out of nothing a thing which can be exchanged against any merchandise a man would like to get. How pale is the art of sorcerers, witches, and conjurors when compared with that of the government’s Treasury Department.”

My Most surprising Crypto call to date / Currencies / cryptocurrency

Crypto stood before Congress two weeks ago…The CEOs of six crypto businesses testified in a highly anticipated session in Washington, DC.

It lasted almost five hours, and guess what was hardly mentioned?

6 Reasons Why You Should Consider Investing Your Money / Personal_Finance / Investing 2022
By: Steve_Barker
So you finally have some money lying around and you wonder what to do with it? Well, if after a bit of thinking you're not sure whether to buy a new smartphone or get your teeth straightened at the dentist, then why not invest your money into something that has been known to generate massive returns over time.
It doesn't even have to be a huge chunk of your savings, just put away whatever you can afford and before you know it you'll start seeing money coming back into your bank account. That is how to double your money instead of letting it sit there in your bank account where your bankers use it for business.
