Now Isn’t The Time To Be Selling Your Gold, Silver Or Mining Stocks

Posted: 21 Mar 2011 03:50 AM PDT

For months and months I’ve been warning investors that the dollar was going to come under extreme pressure sometime this year. I expected it to probably happen in the spring. Many people thought I was nuts. They were sure it was the Euro that would collapse, despite the fact that the EU is doing everything they can to protect their currency while Bernanke is doing everything he can to destroy ours.

On Friday the last confirmation occurred to signal the final collapse is now underway. … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates


Is This Market Ready To Bottom?

Posted: 21 Mar 2011 03:25 AM PDT

It appears that many of the international reasons to panic are coming to a head so will hopefully see less of an impact this week.  Last week ended up being the worst week in the market since August of last year but we were long overdue for a pullback so this was no big surprise.  We have been warning since before the top that a selloff was coming and to avoid initiating any new long positions.  We were right so we were able to avoid most of the pain that Wall Street has been feeling … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates

Is It Time To Buy Google?

Posted: 21 Mar 2011 12:23 AM PDT

Some time ago I caught Reggie Middleton of BoomBustBlog.com on TV saying he was very bullish on Google (NASDAQ:GOOG). The prime reason behind this was Google dominant positioning within the mobile advertising market via it acquisition of Admob (Androids mobile OS). Ok we believe him, but we required GOOG to sell off to let us in at a decent price. We have a sell off, but should we buy.

Bear Of The Day: Companhia Siderurgica Nacional

Posted: 20 Mar 2011 11:05 PM PDT

Companhia Siderurgica Nacional (NYSE:SID), or CSN, stands well-positioned to benefit from its diversified businesses and improving global steel markets. However, it posted rather disappointing third quarter results — well below the Zacks Estimate of US$0.36 per ADR.
We therefore expect weak results going forward, as the de-stocking process in the Brazilian steel market will lower domestic shipments (87% of sales) and induce exports. Moreover, rising manufacturing cost is a constant cause for … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates

Quake Response Puts Yen On The Line

Posted: 20 Mar 2011 10:01 PM PDT

One of the immediate financial consequences of the catastrophic Japanese earthquake is that Japan needs to call on its huge cache of foreign exchange reserves to rebuild its shattered infrastructure. To pay for domestic projects, Japan will require yen - not dollars, euros or Swiss francs. As a result of these conversions, the yen rallied considerably after the quake struck.

But a surging yen runs counter to the macro-economic currency plans favored by most global economists. … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates
