Investors might want to consider a stake in the gaming and tourist industries of Macao. The city known as the Las Vegas of the Far East is becoming a playground in Asia for the wealthy.

The country is mostly desert but contains huge gas and oil resources. Turkmenistan is ranked 4th or 5th in the world for the size of it’s natural gas reserves.

Investors might want to consider an investment in uranium. Financial analysts of the energy sector, need to consider what is going to supply the electrical needs of growing economies around the world. Oil is going to get prohibitively more expensive. Natural gas in the form of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) will be in great demand. Given the rising expectations of hundreds of millions of people in Asia, it is uncertain that supplies will match the demand for more energy. Coal has environmental […]
Investors in oil are now wondering, how much higher the price of oil will climb? Although most of the recent $4.00 USD (United States Dollar) increase in price is purely speculative. Traders are pushing prices higher in fears of what might occur, rather than any real change in supply or demand. As a side note, sales of oil worldwide have been factored in United States dollars since the mid 1970’s. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has estimated that global demand in 2014 […]

It is a game where players kick a ball to each other with the eventual goal of getting it […]

Investors in precious metals including gold and silver, are involved in a game where the reported inventory is not going to match the actual supply. An elaborate shell game has been going on for years where the same gold and silver is owned by a number of investors. What has become quite obvious to a number of individual, institutional and governmental entities is that a fraud of gigantic proportions, has taken place. Gold, silver and other precious metals that have been “stored” […]
THE DOCTOR IS IN THE HOOOOOUUSSSSEEEEEE! Another trader that has been through the training program has been promoted (and well deserved, I might add) to Master Trader status. We call Zeke “Dr. Z” and for good reason. Dr Z can look at the market and make a decision with a compelling market physics mentality. He is adept at paying attention to specific pivot points as well as buying and selling areas of importance. Zeke has a unique story, as is the case […]
