		<description><![CDATA[I’ve often said that it’s not possible to predict stock markets, commodity markets, bond markets or currency markets consistently and accurately. But there is an exception: when both valuations and sentiment reach severe extremes simultaneously. That’s what happened with the dollar a few months ago. And, seeing the planets in alignment (as I’ll explain), I immediately wrote a column, predicting that the greenback would soar in the months ahead. As is the case with most contrarian calls, my message was met with immediate catcalls and derision from respondents. Readers e-mailed me that a weaker dollar was a “no-brainer.” With the size of our budget and trade deficits and nearly $60 trillion in unfunded liabilities, they insisted, the U.S. currency had nowhere to go but down. But, oh, how times have ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Alexander Green, Chief Investment Strategist Monday, January 18, 2010: Issue #1177 I’ve made no secret here recently that I believe the dollar is likely to soar against the euro, the pound and the yen this year. Yet this remains a distinct minority opinion. Most analysts are focused on the huge U.S. budget and trade deficits, nearly $60 trillion in unfunded liabilities for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the new prescription drug benefit, and the Federal Reserve’s penchant for conjuring trillions of dollars out of thin air to “fix” the economy. These are indeed real and intractable problems that weigh on the dollar. But people forget that currencies are measured in other currencies. And most of the world’s major economies have it worse than we do… Why the Dollar Should ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Lee Lowell, Stock and Commodity Option Specialist Thursday, December 17, 2009: Issue #1160 If you’re looking for some calm during the market’s ongoing storm, don’t expect to find much in the commodities sector. Not that this is a bad thing. If you know what you’re doing, commodities offer some of the most lucrative and potentially explosive profits anywhere in the investment world. And because simple supply and demand is the key driver for many of these everyday products, it’s a sector ripe for volatility and speculation from hedge funds and large institutions. Heck, you only have to look at the oil market to see that in action. It’s not uncommon to see prices cycle from highs to lows and back to highs again in a relatively short time. And ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Mark Skousen, Contributing Editor Thursday, November 12, 2009: Issue #1136 “It’s illegal, but I’ll do it anyway.” Famous last words by former President, Bill Clinton. Last month, I had a chance to talk one-on-one with Clinton at the annual International Crisis Group Award Dinner at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. I was the guest of Frank Holmes, president of US Global Funds and co-chair of the dinner. It was my second meeting with Clinton. The first was after the 1996 presidential debates when I jogged with him for 30 minutes on a beach in San Diego, surrounded by Secret Service agents. It was there that Clinton said those immortal words when I asked him to sign a dollar bill: “It’s illegal, but I’ll do it anyway.” ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tony Daltorio, The Investment U Research Team Emerging markets first hit investors’ radar screen about 20 or so years ago. There was a lot of skepticism and a lack of understanding about emerging markets, which was understandable because there were few emerging markets open enough (or large enough) to invest in with a degree of safety. That has all changed in the past two decades as most emerging markets are open to foreign investments and have a high degree of liquidity. The number of so-called emerging markets has also grown from a mere handful to over 60. Yet Wall Street seems to have missed these changes – there is still a lot of skepticism on Wall Street when it comes to investing in emerging markets. That is where the opportunity ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Down, down, deeper and down”. So goes the chorus of a Status Quo song, but it is eerily starting to sound like the stock markets’ anthem. Another week and another plunge of equities on fears about the intensity of the global recession and renewed skepticism regarding the beleaguered financial sector. And, yet again, flight-to-safety trades such as the US dollar (at a three-year high) and government bonds took center stage. Our family yesterday celebrated my son’s eighth birthday. While the kids were amusing themselves in pirate garb, the parents engaged in a more subdued deliberation about the exhausting stream of ugly news on the financial front. Interestingly, never in a career of 26 years have I had so many people sympathizing with my “day job” as investment manager. Will the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By RGE Monitor The Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region is the sick man of emerging markets. While the global crisis means few, if any, bright spots worldwide, the situation in the CEE area is particularly bleak. After almost a decade of outpacing worldwide growth, the region looks set to contract in 2009, with almost every country either in or on the verge of recession. The once high-flying Baltics (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) look headed for double-digit contractions, while countries relatively less affected by the crisis (i.e. Czech Republic, Slovakia and Slovenia) will have a hard time posting even positive growth. Meanwhile, Hungary and Latvia’s economies already deteriorated to the point where IMF help was needed late last year. The CEE’s ill health is primarily driven by two factors &#8211; collapsing ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by David Fessler, Advisory Panelist, Investment U When Bad is Good We’re nearly a month into the New Year, the United States has a new President, and many investors are looking forward with more than a little trepidation. They’re wondering if it’s at all possible to eke out a few gains in the coming months. It’s a safe bet most investors didn’t do well last year. A quick look at how the major indexes have down in the last 13 months sums it up fairly well: the DOW is down 39%, the S&#38;P fell 43%, and the Nasdaq slid nearly 44% since the beginning of 2008. Recent market sentiment isn’t exactly painting a great picture looking forward, either. Markets slid negative in four out of the last five trading sessions. ]]></description>
