Four Debt Free Companies to Own Even if Markets Crash / Companies / Investing 2012
By: Money_Morning
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: Many investors remain on the sidelines under the impression that every company has been stopped in its tracks by the financial crisis. Somehow they've convinced themselves there's nothing worth owning.

By: Money_Morning
Don Miller writes:
Despite the efforts of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and his cohorts, it looks like gridlock in Congress will push us into a recession in 2013, if not sooner.
In case you haven't been paying attention, "Taxmageddon," and election-year politics have driven the economy to the edge of a "fiscal cliff." This means the start of next year, unless drastic measures are taken in Washington, is looking precarious for investors.

Michael A. Robinson writes:
Many Americans view farming as one of the last bastions of low tech.

By: Money_Morning
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: With Europe on the ropes and the U.S. economy in shambles, it's important to remember that there are two sides to every trade.

The Right Regulatory Formula for Markets / Companies / Market Regulation
By: Frank_Holmes
Last weekend, I had the chance to experience the thrill of Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada in Montreal. Seeing the incredible fluidity and flexibility of every race car, it got me thinking about how F1 has evolved over the past 60 years. Cars are now aerodynamic like a jet fighter, designed with wings that use the same principle as an aircraft and tires that withstand tremendous forces. Even with all these incredible advancements in technology, rules and regulations have been streamlined to reduce costs and improve safety.

Intel Stock Market Dynamics / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: David_Knox_Barker
They say the proof is in the pudding. Upon first encountering the proposed market cycle matrix of the late market analyst PQ Wall, from the Kondratieff long wave down to the 20-week cycle, it was dismissed by this author and fellow market cycle researcher. It simply could not be true. The conclusions were clearly the results of an obsessive-compulsive disorder in an otherwise gifted financial market analyst. Years later, coming to a frustrating dead end with the work of Harvard economist and cycle theorist Joseph Schumpeter, and his smaller cycle work presented in Business Cycles, PQ's claims were studied more closely. The results of further inquiry into the mind and market matrix methods of PQ Wall were shocking. PQ Wall has changed market cycle theory forever, and his maverick thinking may hold the keys to even greater mysteries of the universe.

G.S. Early writes:
As far as prestigious SUVs go, the Land Rover badge has been a mainstay in the road-less hinterlands for decades.

But neither one of them could quite get it.
