Investors traditionally have been given advice to place their bets on three different industries. They are high technology, the medical industry and energy. These were the international growth industries that one could always make money in. If one is looking to make a long term investment in a fairly new technology I would suggest an investor in energy take a look at the progress that is being made with the alternative fuel known as SunGas. The technology for the production of SunGas […]

The Coming New World Order
There will be new challenges for investors in the 21st century. The world will now move from a unipolar world where the United States was the sole remaining superpower after the former Soviet Union imploded in the early 1990’s, to a multi-polar world. This is what the international situation was before the First World War I in 1914. As the Pax Britannia (British Peace) faded in the early 20th century a new and more dangerous international order resulted. It culminated with a […]
The Collapse Of The International Superpower
As many investors already know a massive shift in world economic power is definitely taking place. As always political and military reality must eventually follow suit. Americans for years now continue to believe that the United States is somehow exempt from the natural historical process that takes place when a nation loses sound monetary and fiscal policy. It is true that the United States is a unique superpower with attributes that has allowed it to continue in the role it established for […]
Invest In Hewlett-Packard To Hedge Your Bets In The 3D Printing Industry
An investment in a company leader in printing would be a good move at this this time. One can make this determination based on the plan that the management of Hewlett-Packard made recently. The plan is to promote and invest heavily in 3D technology. The company is already the world’s leading manufacturer of PC’s and has been since 2007. In 2012 HP became the world’s largest PC vendor by unit sales. The CEO of Hewlett-Packard (HP) Meg Whitman has already announced that […]
Invest in Solar Power with SolarCity Corporation
An investment in solar power is one way to get into the energy market. A number of analysts feel that because of the gas and oil revolution brought on by fracking alternative energy no longer is a viable investment. It is still feasible if one invests in a company that is well managed and has good products for the consumer market. It is true that solar power in North America will make less sense with the abundant supplies of natural gas at […]
Invest In Silver Mining
It is time to invest in silver. This metal is greatly undervalued in the market at present. There are several forces at work that will easily lead to a doubling in the price of this precious metal. Silver is now on the cusp of a major market comeback that was last seen in 2011. The first movement to explore is the general rise in commodities across the board. There are a number of causes for this both short term and long term. […]
Invest in Oil: International Events Will Safeguard Your Investment
An investment in oil at this time is almost a sure bet of future profits. Despite the pundits claim of declining prices because of economic slowdowns and more supplies becoming available in the future their predictions are unlikely to become reality. The reason for this is simple. Events in the international arena are sabotaging the expansion of supply. Worse yet, fears of possible disruption of available supplies lend speculators in oil to drive up prices even further. As the world stays focused […]
Invest In Australia The Land Down Under
Making an investment in Australia could be one of the best moves of the year if one is looking to invest in an overseas market. One might also consider an investment in its currency as well. Contrary to earlier expectations Australia’s jobs market has rebounded. The faster growth is a sign that the country is defying the slowdown of its main trading partner which is China. Australian employers added 85,500 full time jobs in February the most since the recession period of […]
Invest in Palladium and Platinum As The International Crisis in Russia Continues
An investment in palladium and platinum will be one of the best moves of the year if international events in Europe continue to intensify. Investors need to be prepared to move quickly if sanctions are enacted against Russia in metals. Russian troop movements along the border of south and east Ukraine only make economic warfare more likely if invasion actually occurs. Where most metals have many different sources in the world platinum and especially palladium are more limited to where they are […]
Investors Beware Pax Americana Fading Fast
International investors need to take note when making decisions about future asset purchases. The United States seems to no longer have the will to intervene in major international crises. As more nations challenge the international order and only receive tepid responses from the superpower they are emboldened. The recent turn of events are very similar to previous situations in the last century that did eventually lead to war. There are parallels with both the prewar periods. The United States government is being […]
