		<description><![CDATA[Wall Street has been abuzz with the proposed merger between the NYSE Euronext (NYX) and Deutsche Boerse. The deal would create a new global exchange. It&#8217;s big news for the investment industry. It has also sparked patriotic talk on both sides of the Atlantic about the naming of the combined company. It will certainly bring a close look by regulators. Not to mention the hubbub about what will happen to the infamous New York Stock Exchange trading floor. For individual investors, it&#8217;s an interesting event, but not an actionable one. Trades executed by individual investors for buying or selling NYSE-listed stocks are currently routed to computers, not humans. Should the merger be completed, your trades will still be routed to computers. Over the longer term, it is possible that individual ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Federal Reserve continues to be the enemy of savers. The minutes of the September Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, released earlier this week, signaled the possibility of new actions to bring long-term interest rates down further. Specifically, several committee members stated that if the pace of the economic recovery does not strengthen or if inflation does not intensify, &#8220;they would consider it appropriate to take action soon.&#8221; What could this action be? Most likely, it would involve the Fed purchasing more Treasury securities. Since bond yields are inversely related to bond prices, more demand for Treasuries should effectively drive down yields. The FOMC also considered providing some type of target rate for either inflation or nominal GDP. (A nominal rate includes the impact of inflation. Conversely, a real ]]></description>

		<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[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[Tony Daltorio, The Investment U Research Team Money can often be made in investment backwaters where few others are fishing for profits. This is in stark contrast, for example, to the technology sector where everyone in the Wall Street community is fishing for the next Moby Dick stock such as Google or Apple Computer. One quiet backwater of the investment marketplace is the world of soft commodities – coffee, cocoa, sugar, etc. Most investors don’t give a thought to these commodities, except when they are drinking or eating them. One such overlooked soft commodity is sugar. There has been a good bit of excitement this year in the sugar market as sugar has climbed to a multi-year high, at over 18 cents a pound. Sugar has some real solid fundamentals ]]></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[Global stock markets surged over the past four days as investors adopted a more positive view of the prospects for the beleaguered financial sector and shrugged aside gloom about the economy. Citigroup (C) on Tuesday said it had turned a profit from operations for January and February (BUT did not mention credit losses, toxic paper, derivatives, etc.). JPMorgan (JPM) and Bank of America (BAC) later made similar comments. A positive shift in investor sentiment, together with the possibility of the suspension of mark-to-market accounting and the reinstitution of the uptick rule, resulted in the best week for equities since November. Arriving in time for my 54th birthday today, the reversal of fortune is illustrated by the strong gains of the MSCI World Index (+9.8%) and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index ]]></description>

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[Battle-weary investors remained skeptical of a banking quick fix and endured more grim economic fodder during the past week, causing US stocks to hit their lowest level since 1997. After the worst January (-8.8%) on record, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed February (-11.7%) in the third worst position, after 1933 (-15.6%) and 1920 (-12.5%). As if the recent declines are not bad enough, Chart of the Day points out that in inflation-adjusted terms the Dow has gained only 55% since its 1929 peak and a mere 10% since the 1966 high.
