An investment in gold and silver at this time would make sense for someone looking for a more balanced portfolio. One might also consider platinum, palladium and rhodium but this report will not include those metals. Precious metals can be purchased in ingot or coin form. Ingots are cast of pure bullion of a convenient size and shape. Coins on the other hand have a currency value and can have added worth based on where and when the coin was produced. I […]
Asian investment and growth is dramatically slowing.This spells trouble for growth around the world. We will do another region of the world next time. In Asia the following countries, China, India, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea, Russia, and Taiwan are all experiencing slower and sluggish growth rates due to internal factors and a decline in world economic growth rates as well. If this continues expect to see slower rates almost everywhere since much of the growth in world trade and […]
Investing in France is not a good proposition at this time. The French economy at 2 trillion in GDP is the euro zone’s second largest economy but a poor place for prospective investors. It has become the new “sick man of Europe”. The economy of France has according to a British cabinet minister been “run into the sand”. France fell into recession in the last quarter of 2012 and first quarter of 2013. By April 2013 a record number of job seekers were registered. […]

Part 1 Unemployment As any day trader of stocks, currencies, commodities and other investment opportunities will tell you reports and statistics from the government of the United States will definitely have an impact on your trading for the day. Investors and traders are used to hearing about the unreliable information coming from a number of countries (Argentina for example). International organizations are increasingly seen suspect as well as they are reluctant to cause trouble with influential countries around the world. A newer […]
Our stock pick for the month of February is Organovo Holdings, Inc. (ONVO). This cutting edge company is using technology that is making functional human tissues using three dimensional bio-printing technology. The focus of the company combines medical research with therapeutic applications. Two years ago the stock was below 2 dollars a share. In the past year the stock has seen a low of $3.27 a share and a high of $13.65. As of the close of business on Friday February 07, […]
The objective for any savvy investor is a more balanced portfolio. One way to achieve this is purchasing land for agricultural, dairy, and timber purposes. Of course before one makes the investment there a few important points one needs to consider. The first consideration is to invest in a country that has a long tradition of respect for private property rights. This would need to include both domestic and international owners of property. It would also necessitate that the nation in question have […]
Does an investment in Britain make sense? To Put the Great Back in Britain was the battle cry for the Conservatives under Margaret Thatcher during her tenure as Prime Minister in the 1980’s. Today with the Conservatives back in power, despite all the rhetoric, the way to prosperity for Britain is no great mystery. Growth needs to be driven through a revitalization of exports. This is easier said then done. As an open trading nation Britain has become complacent over the years […]
The stock investing recommendation for the year is 3D Systems Corporation (DDD). Although this company has been around since the late 1980’s it is my belief that this company still has incredible growth potential. This is based on a number of factors. These would include acquisitions, continued innovation and finally growth acceleration. As can be witnessed this past year, the stock price has already doubled since the summer and has increased dramatically from its 52 week low of $27.88 which was last […]
Three 20 point days in a row. Let’s allow that sink in for a second. Just to put into perspective how much a trader can gross making 20 points here is a small chart: Of course, Superman is a very advanced trader so we shouldn’t assume that we are going to make these kinds of results every day. Maybe just 3 days in a row. We were actually joking around earlier that he is slacking because he didn’t make the 20 points […]
