		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Monday, October 25, 2010 Silver has served as a measure of value and currency for over 4,000 years. As early as around 600 B.C., citizens of Lydia used it for coins. But while hardly new, it’s still giving investors something to talk about these days. In the past month, silver has hit prices it hasn’t seen since the Hunt brothers tried to corner that market over three decades ago. Their attempts drove the commodity to nearly $50 an ounce in 1980. Today, just like back then, many individual investors are buying up what some call “poor man’s gold.” Gold may be capturing headlines and new record highs. But silver is shining too… enough to make many wonder whether its forward returns might just beat ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the price of gold again pulling back from its 18-month highs this morning, we start to see more cracks in the bullish $2000 an ounce gold argument. But that shouldn’t surprise. Gold is a two sided, two-faced coin that has very distinct personalities. On one side, we have the hedge against inflation, a reserve currency and the only grail that gold bugs from around the world will believe in. On the other, we have gold as a real commodity, used in jewelry, electronics, computers and space components. But all that glitters isn’t golden, and gold investors can’t have it both ways. The best question we’ve heard to date has been where will you spend you golden Krugerrands when the world comes to an end? The answer is you won’t ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tony Daltorio, Investment U Research China has an environmental problem, something the government has known about it for years. For some time now, polluters have dumped massive amounts of toxic waste into China’s air and water. And since Beijing mandated economic growth at all costs, those emissions of toxic waste have remained unchecked with no repercussions whatsoever. At least nobody checked it before. That’s all changing though, thanks to the up-and-coming environmental movement infiltrating the country… a small minority that still has some part of the central government’s ear, as evidenced by their recent efforts to crack down on some of the worst polluters. Starting in late 2008, Beijing began a concentrated effort against numerous illegal and dangerous coalmines – which emitted significant amounts of pollution – shutting down many ]]></description>

October gets the press, with its biggest, single-day calamities, but September still stands as the clear Biggest Loser. And mark my words: That matters. Simply put, this September is shaping up like a bloodbath: Sentiment has been extremely bullish in the lead-up, even in the face of bad stats. Yet when good stats come out, the markets remain flat. We’ve already seen a few sharp down days. Insider selling stayed extremely high in this month’s run-up. And the savviest contrarian investors have warned us about overbought conditions for a couple months now. If 2 + 2 = 4, Then The FDIC Is Broke But that’s not the worst of ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Ryan Cole, Investment U Research Team The dust is settling in Japan, and the only thing we know for sure is that no one can agree… on anything. With the new government in office – the first real time Japan has been ruled by any group other than the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) since the country became a democracy – there’s plenty of mystery and not much clarity, though everybody seems to have an opinion. One commentator says government stimulus is about to go wild: Buy Japanese everything, she preaches, especially banks. But another disagrees: The too-cozy relationship between Japan’s government and contractors is now over, he maintains, so short Japanese construction. A third claims not much will change: Japan is a conservative ship that turns slowly, if at ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Lee Lowell, Advisory Panelist When you have a mix of bullish fundamental factors backed up by the usual bout of speculation, you’ve got a juicy recipe for higher prices. The world of commodities is a prime example of this. And nowhere is this trend more evident at the moment than in the sugar market. Sugar prices are currently hitting highs not seen since early 1981, driven largely by a projected fall in crop levels in the world’s two biggest sugar-producing nations – Brazil and India. While this fundamental data is critical, it’s nothing without also looking at the chart, which tends to factor in all the price drivers. As you can see, the current state of the sugar market reflected in the October futures contract. Check out that Mount ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tony Daltorio, The Investment U Research Team Despite the continuing negative sentiment toward China from much of Wall Street, China’s remarkable economic growth continues unabated. While Wall Street “experts” focus solely on the export-oriented eastern cities in China, they are missing the rapid growth occurring in other parts of China with the government’s “Go West” program. And let’s not forget that within a few years, the size of China’s middle class will exceed the entire population of the United States. However, there are still many investors who are not comfortable investing directly in China and buying Chinese companies. There is another way to invest profitably in the economic growth in China, of which most investors are completely unaware. And it doesn’t involve owning any Chinese or Asian stocks.

		<description><![CDATA[by Lee Lowell, Advisory Panelist If you’re looking for what I call a “blast-off” move, look no further than the sugar market. Since April, the commodity has embarked on an extreme upside move, shooting to highs not seen since sugar hit $0.45 per pound in 1981. The chart below illustrates it perfectly… Sugar Chart: http://www.investmentu.com/images/sugar_082509.gif The main reason for such a large jump was news from India, which indicated a potentially low sugar crop. Over the past couple of weeks, the sugar market has surprised many analysts by trading even higher. I say that because while fundamental news like this often results in impressive-looking moves, its impact has a limited lifespan. So be warned. Moves like this usually indicate that the news is factored into the price and we’re entering ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The ongoing debate about health care has become more focused on ideological lines than on what realistically can and should be done. Though not surprising, it is unfortunate. It would be wonderful if the conversation shifted to what changes can realistically be made and what changes should be made to prevent a worsening crisis. Here are some ideas, along with potential investment plays. Big Pharma Is Not Going Away Regardless of what you think about the drug companies, they are not going anywhere. The pharmaceutical lobby has made certain that it has a seat at the table and it seems probable that any new laws will benefit them. Even though some concessions will be made, the Obama Administration has quietly signaled a willingness not to pursue the most beneficial cost-saving ]]></description>

The accepted story is that China is going to lead the world out of this recession. It’s successfully decoupled from the U.S., and GDP is going to grow about 8% this year, even as virtually every other country is shrinking or treading water. The only problem is, the claim is entirely bogus. This isn’t the first time China has lied about its economic numbers. Most people forget, but last year, everyone thought China’s GDP was approaching $10 trillion. That was until economists took a closer look at the country… and revised the number down to around $4 trillion. That’s a pretty big gap. Lies And still today, the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tony Daltorio, The Investment U Research Team It seems like the only times that the financial media talks about oil is when they mention either demand destruction in the United States or an inventory buildup of fuel, etc. in the United States. The financial media is doing a real disservice to millions of investors in two ways. The first is by ignoring the rest of the globe when it comes to demand for oil. For example, China imported a record amount of oil in July – 4.6 million barrels a day, up 42% from last July. This record monthly figure is well above the previous peak of 4.1 million barrels of oil a day set in March 2008, when the financial media said that China was simply stockpiling oil ahead ]]></description>

But here’s the stark reality: The money Uncle Sam gets from personal taxes, payroll deductions, corporate taxes and various other duties is a little more than half of the money it’s spending. The difference (deficit) has to be made up either by reducing spending Incorporatedreasing taxes, or both. It’s an unpleasant reality, but that doesn’t mean we’re helpless against these changes. Many don’t know why or how much our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) relates to the taxes we all pay. So let’s take a look at how it’s determined and why it’s important.

		<description><![CDATA[Risky assets last week again marched higher to the tune of economic data supporting the argument of a global economic recovery. A realization among investors that the economic transition from recession to recovery was gaining momentum resulted in many global stock markets and commodities scaling fresh peaks for the year. Source: Steve Breen The S&#38;P 500 Index closed the week above the psychological 1,000 level, marking its highest level since November and capping four consecutive weeks of gains. And more upside lies ahead, said Abby Joseph Cohen, Goldman Sachs’ market strategist, who expects the Index to reach the 1,100 point by year end. (Is this a contrary indicator coming from a permabull?) Many commodities such as crude oil, copper, aluminum, nickel, lead and zinc hit their highest levels of the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tony Daltorio, The Investment U Research Team There is a copper-red sky this morning – it reminds me that a serious “storm” is brewing for Copper. Copper is one of the most important commodities in the world. It is a key component of the engine powering the vehicle called ‘global economic growth.’ The widely used reddish metal is a vitally important element in global industrial development. Much of the world’s infrastructure – construction, transportation, telecommunications, etc. – depends on copper. Yet, copper is rarely mentioned on Wall Street. It is dismissed as “only” a commodity. When copper is discussed, the full story is never told. At best, it is mentioned that copper demand has fallen in the United States because of the recession. Fair enough. But there is a lot ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Lee Lowell, Advisory Panelist I’d like to focus today’s segment on the markets that typically see heightened activity during the summer months, due to the fact that it’s their prime growing season. Specifically, that means the grains and orange juice markets. As we’ve mentioned before, these products are heavily dependent on the weather for their yield. So if erratic weather patterns affect the crops’ growing cycles, it’s very likely that their prices will rise. These products aren’t just consumables either. The farmers and food/drink companies that are front-and-center of their production use these markets for income production, too. They do this by using commodity futures and options contracts as hedging mechanisms. So let’s hit the grains market first… How To Play The Grain Market Upside With Commodity Futures A ]]></description>

I love the country, I love the people, I love the cherry blossoms in spring and the festivals in the streets and the poetic dewdrop in my window each morning. But right now, I hate Japan’s economy. Here’s why: 1. It’s an exporting country, and nobody’s buying. The American savings rate has gone from 0 to around 5%, and it’s still rising. Remember, this is with U.S. unemployment hovering just under 10%, officially. And, with furloughs and cost-cutting measures, the average work-week for the “fully employed” has fallen to 33 hours – the lowest number on record. So a 5% savings rate of a ]]></description>

Although only brief commentary is provided, a full dose of excerpts from interesting news items and quotes from market commentators is included. The holiday-shortened week saw pundits pondering the depth of the economic rabbit hole as the curtain closed on the second quarter. As investors vacillated, most financial markets were characterized by a roller-coaster ride. Friday’s worse-than-expected US jobs data left no doubt that the economy was in recession. Given the economic malaise, it is safe to say that there have probably been better fourth of July celebrations than this weekend’s … Source:Dave Granlund The past week’s ]]></description>

Auto sales in Japan and the US are improving somewhat; exports are dangling in the double-digit loss rates; and GDP really couldn’t get much worse (the inventory cycle alone will create some growth). Finally, money growth rates are slowing, perhaps an indication that policymakers feel that the worst is behind us,” she commented. Source: Scott ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Joe Kunkle, The Investment U Research Team With gold and oil hogging the “commodities spotlight,” silver is too often forgotten. However, a new trend is emerging that indicates a major rally may be starting in silver prices and silver related stocks. Over the past few weeks we’ve seen more and more data that supports a rally in silver: from large institutional money making large bullish bets, to technical indicators of a breakout, fundamental valuations well below where they should be, and a possibility of a massive short squeeze. The iShares Silver Trust ETF (NYSE: SLV) has gained 18% since the broader markets began to rally in early March, but we could easily see another 25% – or more – in the remainder of 2009.

Every investor knows the phrase, but very few have the required fortitude to actually put it in practice. When there’s blood on the streets, most investors bail and head for cover as fast as they can. But the sentiment goes double when the blood is literal – like we’ve recently seen in one Southeast Asian country, formerly thought of as one of the most stable in the region… but now, somewhat unfairly, considered just as bad as the rest. I’m talking about Thailand – a country no self-respecting investor would go near with a ten-foot pole. Right? After all, they just had a civil war… or something… right? Well, not exactly.

I’m talking about shorting U.S. debt via 2 specific, but very risky vehicles: Ultrashort Lehman 20+Year Treasury Proshares (NYSE: TBT) Direxion Daily 30 Year Treasury Bear 3X Shares (NYSE: TMV) Thank You Mr. President Since the collapse of the yield curve late last year when people were panicked in the market such that they were willing to take NEGATIVE returns on their money via U.S. Treasuries to ensure some type of safety, things are starting to normalize now, and in fact ]]></description>

Well, any bodily or mental tension investors might have been suffering from as a result of financial factors were shrugged off on Thursday with the announcement by US regulators that ten of the nation’s largest banks had to add a total of “only” $74.6 billion in equity following the completion of stress tests. However, whether this will indeed restore the equilibrium remains to be seen.

		<description><![CDATA[by The Investment U Research Team It was rumored that market recovery wouldn’t occur until the housing market turned itself around. For months it seemed a popular thing to say. And why not? It makes sense that in order for millions of Americans to move forward, we needed to have a strong foundation first. Homes are the largest investment most people will make. An unstable housing market spells trouble for our fiscal stability. There are some signs of life in the housing sector already, but the question remains whether vulture investors will be able to “lift the bottom” into a sustained real estate recovery. Regardless, this is good news for homebuilders. As this excess inventory is pulled off the market, their prospects should increase. One of the most punished sectors, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Alexander Green, Oxford Club Investment Director Believe it or not, when it comes to the stock market, most investors prefer glamour to profits. Why do I say this? Tell the average investor about a company with a cutting-edge technology, an exciting Phase III drug or a new gold strike and they’re all ears. But tell them about a blue-chip stock with steady sales, a big order backlog and rising stock dividends and they’re more likely to stifle a yawn. That’s unfortunate. Because, contrary to what most investors believe, innovation is not always a great predictor of business success. As Andrew Carnegie famously said, “Pioneering don’t pay.” Nor is a young company that’s just feeling its oats &#8211; and retaining all its earnings &#8211; likely to be the best long-term ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Words from the Wise” this week comes to you from my abode in a visibly depressed Europe, from where I am compiling this report as welcome relief from gloomy conversations with taxi drivers and cheerless meals in deserted eateries. Events during the past few days were dominated by the announcement of US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner’s financial stability plan and a deal reached by Congress on the economic stimulus bill. However, the much-anticipated bailout bang soon whimpered as investors were disappointed about the lack of “beef”. Meanwhile, markets were also mired in uncertainty on the back of fresh evidence of headwinds facing the global economy &#8211; notably in major economies such as the UK, continental Europe and Japan. Jim Rogers gave the bank rescue plan a big thumbs-down: “(Geithner) … ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Matt Weinschenk, Senior Analyst, The White Cap Report Tuesday, January 27, 2009: Issue # 923 Editor’s Note: Last Saturday, we sent out a special broadcast on an oil situation called “contango.” We’ve received a lot of response from that broadcast. Many investors have jumped on the contango bandwagon in recent days. But not all of them are doing it correctly. Take a look at the follow up below, and you’ll see why. You might think you’re properly invested in oil, but you could be wrong. Despite reaching lows since 2004, the long-term outlook for oil is still up. Maybe not $147 a barrel like the old days (i.e. six months ago), but because of supply, demand, turmoil in the Middle East, and the fact that we will eventually resume ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s been no secret that gold prices have been creeping up lately. At just over $900 per troy ounce, gold has run up over $90 in the past 16 days. And while we haven’t reached last year’s record price of $1002.80, moving over $900 is significant. To put things in perspective, gold has only moved above $900 for a few brief periods historically – gold prices we’ve only seen in early 2008. If you’re looking at ways to invest at these prices, the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSE: GLD) is an easy way to do it. Option buying has been very bullish – traders still think the price has higher to go. And they may have something there. Gold does well in inflationary environments. It’s no secret that the Fed ]]></description>

(NYSE: STT). The stock cratered 59%. But don’t read too much into it… Sure, the company’s quarterly results sent most investors into shock. A 71% drop in earnings? Another $1 billion in new credit exposures? If no one’s lending, how in the world are they just now discovering this liability? I’ll be the first to confess, I flubbed the extent of the downturn in the financial space. Last April, I recommended “backing up the truck” and playing the rebound via the Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF (AMEX: XLF).

		<description><![CDATA[Renewable Energy Reality: Coal by David Fessler, Advisory Panelist Friday, January 9, 2008: Issue #913 The Obama administration has made a big deal about renewable energy. Over the next several years, the new President has plans to spend roughly $150 billion promoting and enabling its growth. And with $700 billion flowing from the United States into OPEC’s pockets every year, I don’t think you’ll get much of an argument from anyone about the timeliness or the need for renewables. But even with massive amounts of capital investment &#8211; and widespread adoption by utilities and end users &#8211; renewable energy will still only account for roughly 10% of world energy output by 2030, an increase of only three percentage points from today’s estimated 7% contribution.

In this post I wanted to go over a few ETF&#8217;s (Exchange Traded Funds) in particular, one directly dealing with interest rates and treasuries, and one dealing with the price of oil, and finish off the post with a quick roundup of some other ETF&#8217;s poised to provide stellar returns for corporate and commercial bonds. They might not be sexy names, or even names that you&#8217;ve heard of before, but they offer a way to diversify your holdings, and take advantage of an unprecedented time in our history.

		<description><![CDATA[Global stock markets reversed course during the last three days of the first full trading week of 2009 as investors were confronted with dreadful economic data, escalating layoffs and a bleak earnings outlook. As investor sentiment soured, the MSCI World Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index declined by 2.5% and 1.7% respectively during &#8220;turnaround week&#8221;. The US stock markets &#8211; leaders among mature markets since the November 20 low &#8211; were on the receiving end of the selling orders and recorded relatively large weekly losses of 4.8% for the Dow Jones Industrial Index and 4.4% for the S&#38;P 500 Index. On the other end of the performance scale, Brazil (+11.8%) and Ireland (+11.0%) brought investors cheer.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Au&#8221; and &#8220;Pt&#8221; may be dull chemical elements, but gold and platinum have certainly played their respective parts during the unfolding of the financial crisis. Revisiting the metals&#8217; movements, it is clear from the table below that gold&#8217;s decline was much smaller than that of platinum &#8211; as platinum suffered from the deterioration in the auto industry &#8211; but the recovery of gold has also been lesser than that of platinum. The weekly chart of platinum relative to gold illustrates the massive underperformance (declining green line) of platinum relative to gold from May to early December. However, platinum has since reversed course and outperformed (increasing green line) gold to the extent that it now commands a premium of 16% &#8211; up from parity in December.

As the year draws to a close, Treasuries have come out as the clear asset-class winner in 2008. But they may have reached their peak in popularity when investors rushed to get a 0% yield. The rest of the market hasn’t been so popular. The Dow, S&#38;P 500, and Nasdaq are all down more than 36% for the year. Unfortunately, just because Treasuries become less popular doesn’t mean there’s a market uptick in our future. But the bond market does give a glimmer of hope for the New Year. When investors become less risk averse, the spread between the yields of Treasuries and corporate bonds ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How to Keep your Gas Prices Low by Keith Fitz-Gerald Investment Director, Money Morning Thursday, December 18, 2008: Issue #903 Editors Note: Oil and gas are back in the headlines today. But we’ve heard very few good ways investors can take advantage of what &#8211; in all likelihood &#8211; will be a temporary price dip. Our colleagues at Money Morning, however, just uncovered three easy ways to lock in at today’s low gas prices. We’ve attached the full article below, from their Investment Director, Keith Fitz-Gerald. Many of my neighbors here in Oregon are enjoying the big decline in gasoline prices, particularly those who still own SUVs, pickup trucks or any of the other fire-breathing, piston-clanking monstrosities I’ve seen on the road recently. And no wonder. Gasoline prices in our ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Will The Price of Oil Per Barrel Drop to $20? In a sharp reversal from earlier this year, when traders were looking at $147 barrels of oil and pundits claimed it would never go below $100 ever again, the price of crude oil continues to make new lows. Oil hovers around $43.71 per barrel and looks like it could go even lower. The United States Oil Fund ETF (NYSE: USO) is also hovering near all-time lows. It&#8217;s currently at $34.96, barely above its 52-week low of $33.08 and well below its high of $119.17 set in July. The price for a barrel of crude has remained relatively stable over the last 25 years, except of the past four years, which have seen prices skyrocketing. It explains why oil giants like Exxon ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A heavy batch of interesting video clips has appeared over the past few days as pundits were debating whether the worst of the credit crisis was over and what to make of the stock market’s bounce. I am again pre-empting the customary Sunday edition of the “Words from the Wise” post by sharing with you a number of videos that have attracted my attention over the past few days. First up are a few discussions on the status of the credit crisis, followed by the outlook for economic growth, equities, commodities and currencies. The concluding video deals with lessons from the Japanese banking crisis. BBC: Steve Forbes – credit crisis: “the worst is over” “Steve Forbes, the publisher of Forbes magazine, is one of the few people remaining optimistic despite ]]></description>

Prejean later wrote ‘Dead Man Walking’, which became a hit movie in 1995.
