How to Find Great Value In The Energy Stocks Sector / Companies / Oil Companies
By: Charles_Carnevale
This will be the second in a series of articles designed to find value in today’s stock market environment. However, it will be the first of 10 articles covering the 10 major general sectors. In my first article (found here), I laid the foundation that represents the two primary underlying ideas supporting the need to publish such a treatise. First and foremost, that it is not a stock market; rather it is a market of stocks. Second, that regardless of the level of the general market, there will always be overvalued, undervalued and fairly valued individual stocks to be found.
Additionally, my focus in this and all subsequent articles will be on identifying fairly valued dividend growth stocks within each of the 10 general sectors that can be utilized to fund and support retirement portfolios. Therefore, when I am finished, the individual investor interested in designing their own retirement portfolio should find an ample number of selections to properly diversify a dividend growth portfolio with.

Tara Clarke writes:
A rather complicated U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc. came out last week on whether life or more specifically DNA can be patented.

By: Money_Morning
Greg Madison writes: One of the really beneficial things about science is its power to transcend borders and ideologies. Scientists in countries that may be totally hostile to one another have the chance of collaborating on difficult problems in a spirit of openness.
This ability to collaborate and exchange information across borders is particularly important when a new disease with global pandemic potential emerges, as it has in the Middle East with the respiratory system coronavirus (MERS-CoV).

Repairable Smartphone's and Tek Devices Bring Huge Losses to Manufacturers / Companies / Mobile Technology
By: Pravda
Electronic devices are becoming increasingly less repairable. The paradigm of disposable products and planned obsolescence of long-term devices is profitable for producers and therefore is widely applied. Even Apple does not shy away from abusing its fans, as it did with the iPods, whose batteries died immediately after the expiration of the warranty period.

An Unstoppable Technology Trend for Investor Profits / Companies / Robotics
By: Investment_U
Carl Delfeld writes: One of my favorite television series as a child was The Jetsons. Its creators worked to give us their vision of life in 2062 – a full century from the show’s debut in 1962.
We’re halfway there.
But many of the gadgets in the show still seem farfetched. First to mind is the folding space car that fits neatly into a briefcase. And how about eating nothing but a pill for dinner?

Another Reason Not to Trust the Big Banks / Companies / Banksters
By: Money_Morning
David Zeiler writes:
When Big Banks say their trading desks posted a profit every single trading day for an entire quarter, it seems hard to believe.
And yet not one but two Big Banks -- JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) and Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) -- recently reported that they had perfect trading records in the first quarter of 2013.
And most days they weren't squeaking by either. A chart of JPMorgan's daily net revenues from the quarter shows that on most days the profits were quite fat -- $50 million or more, with 17 days posting profits of more than $100 million.

The Best Stock Investments to Beat Ben Bernanke's War on Savers / Companies / Investing 2013
By: Money_Morning
Garrett Baldwin writes: For the last four years, ordinary Americans have struggled to rebuild their wealth in the wake of the Great Financial Crisis.
Last week, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis reported that the average U.S. household has recovered only 45% of its wealth lost during the recession.
Of course, the Federal Reserve won't acknowledge that its Chairman, Ben Bernanke, has been a principle driver in the underperformance of the middle class' return to financial normalcy. Bernanke has removed incentives for anyone to keep their dollars in a savings account by knocking interest rates to near-record lows.

Investing in Recession Proof Leading Brands Stocks / Companies / Investing 2013

The Volatility Is Risk Myth
If you were to take the essence of most people’s beliefs and understanding about investing in common stocks, or the stock market for that matter, and turn it into a movie, I believe it would have to be labeled under the category science fiction. In other words, in my experience, most of what people believe about common stocks or the stock market is predicated more on opinion than on fact. But even more importantly, it is predicated on opinions that are driven by strong emotional responses. Consequently, I believe that what most people feel that they know about investing in stocks is based more on myth than truth.
Perhaps the biggest myth of all is the perception that investing in common stocks is a risky endeavor. Whether you are listening to professional or lay investors alike, it is widely accepted that stocks are a risky asset class. Personally, I have found that the true risk of investing in the equity asset class rests more in the attitudes, beliefs and actions of the investors themselves, than it does with the asset class. In other words, how people think about common stocks is actually often more risky than the common stocks actually are. Unfortunately, most people think investing in stocks is risky; I don’t, as long as it’s done intelligently and correctly.

These investment bankers almost ruin our economy and they're still acting like it's 2007. Have they no shame?
