It's Time to Invest in Chile and Colombia / Companies / Emerging Markets
By: Money_Morning
Martin Hutchinson writes: For decades, investors with an interest in Latin America were essentially limited to two choices: Invest in countries that were moderately badly run; or invest in countries that were truly dreadfully run.
Most recently, it's been the "dreadfully run" group that seems to be attracting new members: Bolivia, Ecuador and Nicaragua have subscribed to the economic and political doctrines of Hugo Chavez's Venezuela.

BP Eventual Bankruptcy Certain / Companies / Oil Companies
By: Midas_Letter
There is no doubt that BP will not emerge from this oil spill disaster intact. Make no mistake – this is the fatal black swan event in BP's life that is going to take investors by the hundreds down with the ship. Its not going to happen immediately. Much like the slow initial fall and eventual breakneck pace of collapse of a giant tree, the giant oil leak is the event that will catalyze the fall of this far flung and storied company.

Is The Stock Market Scaring You? Here’s What to Do! / Companies / Dividends
By: Sean_Brodrick
I don’t know about you, but I find this a tough market. Just look at some recent action. On Monday, the S&P 500 pushed above 1,120 to trigger stop-losses of the short-sellers. So, the bulls piled in … only to have the market suddenly collapse under their feet back under 1,120 then 1,100. This move trapped both sides of the market with back-to-back losses.

Ryland Oil Corp, Oilpatch Buyouts Show Raw Land Can Be Worth $Millions / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: Keith_Schaefer
Today’s buyout of Ryland Oil (RYL-TSX) by Crescent Point Energy (CPG-TSX) is a good example of how large “resource plays” can get valued by investors. CPG paid $121.8 million, or roughly $0.45/share for Ryland.
But back in 2006, when the mania of the emerging Bakken oil play in North Dakota and southern Saskatchewan was at a peak, Ryland soared from 10 cents to $4 in months.

More Upside Ahead for Apple AAPL / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: Mike_Paulenoff
If we look at arguably the most constructive chart of all, Apple (AAPL), there is no evidence yet of a topping pattern, unlike in Ford (F), a stock we had liked for some time and discussed earlier today for our subscribers. In fact, all of the action in AAPL since Monday's new all-time high at 279.01 has the look of a high-level bullish consolidation-continuation pattern, which should resolve itself to the upside in a thrust to new highs. The chart projects into the 280-83 target zone, prior to a significant correction that points towards 240 and possibly 210/00.

A Bankrupt BP - Worse For The Financial World Than Lehman Brothers? / Companies / Oil Companies
By: OilPrice_Com
The BP crisis in the Gulf of Mexico has rightfully been analysed (mostly) from the ecological perspective. People’s lives and livelihoods are in grave danger. But that focus has equally masked something very serious from a financial perspective, in my opinion, that could lead to an acceleration of the crisis brought about by the Lehman implosion.Read full article...

Stock Market Head and Shoulder’s? Where's Your Money? / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: JD_Rosendahl
The DOW trades lower today. I’ve been waiting for the market to at least consolidate, and we’ve seen the beginning of that over that the past two days. The market failed at the 50 day MA yesterday, and closed below the 200 day MA today. The DOW closed at its lows for the day right at the 38% retracement level. Price has failed at a level that qualifies for a right shoulder of a head and shoulders pattern, and caution on the long side is warranted. See chart below:

Big American utilities pay big dividends, some as high as 8% among regulated utilities, and right now they're as cheap, relative to the bond market, as they've been in about a quarter century.

Part II will focus on Greg's picks among the deregulated utilities.

China’s Yuan Appreciation Plan to Boost Inflation and Chinese Consumer Stocks / Companies / China Stocks
By: Money_Morning
Don Miller writes: China's plan to let the yuan appreciate against the U.S. dollar is likely to hit U.S. shoppers in the pocketbook, while also making the stocks of companies with goods aimed at Chinese consumers more attractive.
But because of wage pressures, the effects of China's move to introduce more flexibility to its currency policy won't fundamentally change its inflation problems, according to Money Morning Contributing Editor Martin Hutchinson.

China’s Foxconn Will Hurt the Global Economy More Than the BP Oil Spill / Companies / Corporate News
By: Money_Morning
Martin Hutchinson writes: Before this month, chances are pretty good that you'd never even heard of Taiwan's Foxconn International Holdings (PINK ADR: FXCNY). And yet, Foxconn is one of the world's most important manufacturers.
Given that the formerly anonymous giant is now at the forefront of the zooming escalation in labor costs that's currently taking place in Mainland China - and given the enormous implications of the inflationary pressures that will result - chances are excellent that Foxconn will have a bigger effect on the world economy this year than even BP PLC (NYSE ADR: BP).
