Oil ?Bulls? its Way Above $139 on its Way to a New Record as the U.S. Dolla
2008-06-07 16:17:00 Crude oil for July delivery traded at an all-time high of $139.12 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange today (Friday), after the U.S. dollar nosedived on speculation that the European Central Bank would raise its key lending rate and on worries that a bigger-than-expected spike in unemployment meant the U.S. economy was far weaker than feared. For the day, July crude oil soared $10.75, or 8.4%, to close at an all-time high of $138.54. For the week, the contract climbed 8.8% on the NYMEX. The still-weak greenback today fell more than 1% to $1.5674 per in late-afternoon trading - its… More About: Economy , Commodities , New Record , Bulls , Record
The U.S. Economy?s Uncertainty Brings Opportunity for Investors in the Mont
2008-06-07 15:30:00 With a wheezing economy that?s struggling with housing and credit problems - as well as a weak dollar - it?s clear the United States won?t be in the investment spotlight this year. But don?t despair. Because a trend that has long been talked about - economic decoupling - is finally starting to manifest itself as other world economies, particularly the so-called ?BRIC? markets of Brazil, Russia, China and India, have continued to grow even as the U.S. economy has slowed. That means profit opportunities abound for U.S. investors, despite myriad messes on the home front that include a collapsed housing market,… More About: Economy , Opportunity , Investors , Mont
Investing in the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB)
2008-06-06 19:44:00 Most investors are weary about the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB). That?s understandable, considering the amount of bankruptcies, shell companies, and de-listings that occur in over-the-counter markets. But there is a very large misconception that is widely shared among investors: that no over-the-counter company has to report current financial information. That is the case with the Pink Sheets, but not so with the OTCBB. You see, before 1990 the over-the-counter securities market was a wild-west show. Not complete lawlessness, but close to it. So that year, the SEC started the Over The Counter Bulletin Board as part of the Penny… More About: Penny Stocks , Investing
Who?s Afraid of Emerging Markets?
2008-06-06 19:37:00 China is the new Germany. At the end of the Second World War, Germany was an ?emerging market.? It was industrializing rapidly and producing brisk economic growth. Today, Germany is a mature ?developed market? that grows slowly if it grows at all. Today, China is the new Germany. The industrial dynamism that produced Germany?s post-war success is moving to the East?piece by piece. The Ruhr Valley was the heart of Germany?s industrial might. For more than 200 years, the smokestacks in this northwest corner of Germany pounded out the steel and iron that would form the backbone of the nation?s industry.

Russian Oil? Under Serious Constraints
2008-06-06 18:45:00 I spoke on this subject in the middle of April, but there is more news coming? ?News of falling oil output has hit Moscow political circles like a bomb.? So states a recent article in the Hundustan Times, another ?go to? source for news about what is REALLY happening in the energy industry. The Kremlin has invested heavily in Russia?s image as an energy superpower. During the recent Russian Victory Day celebrations on May 9, many commentators referred to Russia?s energy sector as one of the key elements of Russian power. Energy took a top billing, right along with Russia?s traditional military might and still-potent… More About: Soviet
What Has Really Changed?
2008-06-06 18:30:00 “What’s different?” asked colleague Manraaj Singh at this morning’s conference. Early every morning, while most Americans are still in their beds, your editor joins a group of analysts and financial journalists to discuss the day’s news. “What happened to the price of copper? Why are Asian stocks going down? Are they really going to cut rates today?” The answers are not always satisfying, but the questions keep coming. And the question this morning was: what has really changed? U.S. stocks held steady yesterday, but they’re down 5% so far this year. The dollar held steady yesterday too, but it is down for the year… More About: News
INFLATION?S BACK: EMBRACE THE MADNESS
2008-06-06 18:14:00 Gas prices hit another record high. Soaring food prices ignite riots the world over. It should come as no surprise that a 71% increase in food prices since 2006 has the good citizens of South Africa, Morocco, Egypt, Ethiopia, Bangladesh and Mozambique up in arms. And if you thought things couldn’t get any worse, the Financial Times reported on Monday that U.S. mortgage rates soared last week amid a sharp rise in Treasury market yields. Make no mistake, inflation’s back. A Volker-like response may seem alarmist, even far-fetched, to many. However, investors are bracing for the Federal Reserve to raise rates… More About: Inflation , Back , Embrace , Madness
China Isn?t Increasing Oil Imports
2008-06-06 18:00:00 Wow? Here is an act of entirely commendable proportions. China is announcing to the world that it will NOT INCREASE OIL IMPORTS due to the impact of the recent earthquake swarm. How utterly, totally responsible of them! Whoah! Say hello to oil price moderation, if not a slow retrenchment in oil prices. (Is the Fed listening?) Actually, if this news gets the play it deserves the price of oil ought to sell off by $20 or so per barrel. This pops the bubble. Seriously. Knock-knock. Who?s there? POP! The initial energy-speculation on earthquake-related oil demand was based on the fact that hundreds of Chinese dams were damaged… More About: Commodities , Imports
Pool of Wealth
2008-06-06 17:54:00 ?Ever wondered why your family budgets never seem to work out as planned?? asked Harry Browne in his 1970 bestseller How You Can Profit from the Coming Devaluation. The book sold more than 100,000 copies in hardback. Some three decades later, a dear reader sent me a copy of the 1971 paperback when I ran The Daily Reckoning?s desk here in London. ?You guys…you?re just saying the same as Harry Browne did 30 years ago! What?s new?? he wrote in an e-mail. And on first reading, Harry Browne?s book confirmed the jibe. On rereading it on the train between Waterloo and Hammersmith this… More About: Wealth , Pool

Election 2008: Obama or McCain ? U.S. May Suffer Either Way
2008-06-06 16:03:00 As Barack Obama closes in on the Democratic presidential nomination, investors should focus their minds around one uncomfortable fact: Whether it?s Obama or Republican John McCain who wins the White House, expect some policy changes that won?t sit well with investors - or with the U.S. economy. This could make for several rough years for U.S. investments, underscoring yet again the importance of searching out profit plays overseas. That?s why it?s crucial that we understand just what each candidate is likely to do should he reach office. Interestingly, there are three areas where the two presidential hopefuls seem to be in agreement.… More About: Election , Election 2008 , Featured , 2008

The ugly Americans
2008-06-05 21:59:00 In the mad rush to blame speculators for high oil prices, our solons in Washington have inadvertently revealed a U.S.-centric, 20th century mindset. I'm sure Sens. Carl Levin and Dianne Feinstein think they're enlightened types, far beyond any sort of "ugly American" mentality. But that's exactly what they betray with their notion of closing the "London ...

Oil exports down
2008-06-05 21:35:00 Could someone notify our clueless congresscritters? Fresh data from the U.S. Department of Energy show the amount of petroleum products shipped by the world's top oil exporters fell 2.5% last year, despite a 57% increase in prices, a trend that appears to be holding true this year as well.
