The Best Way to Invest in Biotech Stocks
2012-01-26 19:00:00 The appeal of finding the right biotech stock is self-evident. If you get it right, and a cutting-edge biotech scores a major win with a breakthrough drug treatment, then you can score huge gains. Last month, I reviewed my performance over the course of 2011 in hopes of gleaning important new lessons for the coming year. Chief among those lessons: avoid companies that will need fresh injections of capital to keep afloat. I singled out the biotech sector, which not only faces the prospect of an uncertain economic environment in which to raise money, but is headed by executives who are simply clueless about how Wall Street works. So many biotech stocks waited far too long to . . . → Read More: The Best Way to Invest in Biotech Stocks

Invest something new in yourself
2011-12-16 03:51:00 Watch what happens as you invest something new in yourself. You g-row more conscious and focused. You feel energized, self-directed, and also guided by feelings you may not have noticed before. Such sensations can arise as you attend a seminar or take steps to be true to yourself. Perhaps you nurture a dream to join the Australian Masters or wish to remain high in the ranks. Allow dreams to bring out the best in you. Amateur or professional sports are teachers just like all other experience. You gain out of life in proportion to what you put into self-growth. The power of intention is not -;something you buy. Yet, its value is measured by the joy you feel at any given moment, related to particular life choices. You know what feels right in the heart. Do you use and heed this inner guidance to determine how you spend your time or, where to shift your...
Forget Gold? Invest in This Metal Instead
2011-12-07 02:00:00 It's one of the most highly sought metals on the planet. If I'm right, then demand could surge more than 800% in the next four years… And no, I'm not talking about gold, or any other precious metal for that matter. The metal I'm thinking of is much more practical. It's a key ingredient in everything from pharmaceuticals to rocket fuel. It's a lubricant, a propellant and a nuclear-reactor coolant. It's also crucial for fireworks, airplanes, glass cookware and even medicine cabinets. Generally speaking, it has more uses than duct tape… But that's not why I like it. I like it because, pound for pound, this featherweight metal can store more electric energy than just about any other . . . → Read More: Forget Gold… Invest in This Metal Instead

Is It a Good Time to Invest in Pipeline Companies?
2011-11-16 17:59:00 By Marin Katusa, Casey Energy Opportunities Let’s begin by positioning the sector. Investing in a pipeline company is similar to investing in a utility: Like electricity providers, pipeline companies operate in heavily regulated environments, and once they are up and running, pipeline operators enjoy stable cash flows from long-term contracts. In an economy where uncertainty is the new norm and speculation is a more dangerous game than usual, investors are gravitating toward income-generating investments. However, it’s not only the current economy that’s pushing investors toward defensive stocks. As US baby boomers retire, they tend to reduce the risk levels in their investments and move toward steady-as-she-goes, income-generating stocks. Unfortunately, those two forces also mean that many of these defensive . . . → Read More: Is It a Good Time to Invest in Pipeline Companies?

Pragati India Gets $ 50Mn From CDC To Invest In Poorest States Of India
2011-11-01 10:49:00 Commonwealth Development Council (CDC), has been asked by Department for International Development (DfID), to invest USD 50 Million (Rs. 245 Crore) in Pragati Venture and Incubator Fund, a private equity fund focusing on the eight poorest states in India. Â CDC, set up in 1948 to promote economic development in Britain’s colonies, is currently sitting atop UK Pound 2.8 Billion of assets (technically, taxpayers’ money). Wholly owned by the Department for International Development (DfID), the CDC was told to become a “development-maximizing,- not a Profit-maximizing, enterprise“, and start investing directly in projects rather than indirectly through fund managers. They were earlier criticized for the high bonuses & huge expenses of its top executives. The 8 states include: Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Orissa and West Bengal which house about 421 million people who are categorized as “multi-dimensionally po...

2011-10-27 17:00:00 Every investor knows diversification is crucial in order to maintain a successful portfolio. And in times like these, with the U.S. economy on a sluggish growth path, it really pays to invest in foreign markets. For a while now, emerging economies such as Brazil, Russia, India and China have all been catching the attention of investors, and for good reason.

Carlyle And General Atlantic In Talks To Invest In Flipkart
2011-10-25 13:15:00 The Indian e-commerce scene has exploded in the recent years but it is still nascent when you consider the increasing number of people who are getting connected to the Internet every year. Rapid economic growth in the country is the number one reason why sites like Flipkart are doing so well. In fact, Flipkart is doing so well that private equity firms Carlyle and General Atlantic are thinking of investing in the Indian e-commerce giant. The general rumor is that both these firms are gonna pick up a minority stake in the company after the investments. The talks are not public yet and hence we cannot verify this completely. Apparently, the deal is being delayed due to the differences in valuations between Flipkart and the investors. Once these companies reach a solution, the details will be made public. Flipkart made $11 million in revenues in the last financial and this year it expects to generate around $100 million. The company aims to cross $1 billion by 2015. Earlier, Flipkar...

Behance keeps company here with Yelp, Tripadvisor, DropBox, and Pinterest. Behance is a New York based company that is emerging as the dominant platform and community for creative professionals.  It’s not really in the public spotlight, but everyone I know in the design/creative industry is well aware of the company and a participant in the network.  I also love Scott Belsky’s vision for how the creative process should evolve (and by extension, how creative professionals can capture more of the value they create in the industries that rely on them). 5 Under-Hyped Companies I'd Invest in at a Wild Valuation [Full Article]

2009-09-04 14:00:00 "Frontier markets -- even less developed than emering markets -- are risky, but the growth potential is huge." notes Ron Rowland. In Money & Markets looks at frontier market ETFs."Until very recently the frontier markets were extremely difficult for Americans to trade. You can't just log into your online brokerage account and buy a stock in Namibia. Nor should you ... the risks are too great."But now, thanks to exchange-traded funds (ETFs), you can easily buy a diversified portfolio of frontier market stocks in one simple package. There are several dozen frontier markets. "First, frontier markets need to be investable, with a functioning local stock market that accepts foreign investment. Countries that bar foreigners can't be part of the club."Second, frontier markets must be smaller and less liquid than the more-advanced emerging markets. This is what gives them such tremendous potential. The frontier markets are scattered a...

In addition, we believe commodities are a great hedge against inflation."

"While at times annoying, we acknowledge the cost-benefit for companies to use the technology to manage and screen routine customer calls."Its mobile speech solutions add voice-control capabilities to mobile devices and services; it's a necessity for 'hands free' cell phone operations that certainly make it safer to use a cell phone while operating a car."T...
Hormel (HRL): Invest in spam
2009-06-10 14:00:00 "One 118-year old firm benefiting from the tight economy is Hormel Foods (NYSE: HRL), which specializes in low cost foods," notes Jim Powell in Changes & Opportunities Report."Many blue chip companies that produce low cost foods -- including Hormel -- should thrive for the next few years."The company makes Spam, Hormel chili, Dinty Moore beef stew, and dozens of other inexpensive meals that are flying off the shelves. "That’s not surprising since a can of Spam costs about $2.50 and Hormel chili goes for about $1.50. The higher food costs go, the better Hormel should do."I am impressed with management’s response to the recession’s impact on the public’s food purchases. Instead of hunkering down until better times return – a common decision in large corporations - Hormel quickly redirected its resources to its low-cost products."For example, the company just switched a new processing plant in Iowa from prem...

Invest in non-dollar debt
2009-05-11 15:00:00 "In our conservative model portfolio, we're recommending the Federated Prudent Global Income Fund (PSAFX)," says Martin Weiss in The Safe Money Report. Here's his review."The fund invests in short-term foreign government debt, as well as a smattering of gold and gold stocks."At the end of March, it had 72.1% of its funds invested in sovereign debt issued by governments in Australia, Germany, Canada, Denmark, and Switzerland, among other countries."It also had a 4.5% stake in gold mining shares. Short-term U.S. Treasuries and a cash reserve fund make up the lion's share of the fund's remaining holdings."The fund's focus on sovereign debt makes PSAFX a lot less risky, from a credit perspective, than most bond funds. Its focus on short-term debt (with average maturities of less than 18 months) reduces interest rate risk dramatically."More importantly, its focus on non-dollar denominated debt makes it an excellent hedge agains...
Time To Invest in PERK
2009-05-07 15:28:00 The Celtics have faced many injuries this year. Kevin Garnett and Leon Powe are out and there's no PJ Brown to come off the bench like last season. That has forced guys in the Celtic front line to grow.The guy who has grown the most has been Kendrick Perkins. He went from a defense-only guy to a guy that can no put up double digits for you almost every night. He wouldn't have to do what he's been doing if KG was healthy.
