Take What the Market Gives You
The old saying economists have forecast nine of the past three recessions has been proven true time and time again.
It’s impossible to predict the future. There are so many variables to include. The variables are even greater in a global economy with billions of consumers, hundreds of governments, and technological developments making their way to the market every day...

The Energy Boom Everyone Forgot About
“See that field over there…by the ocean? That’s where it will be. These projects are going to bring prosperity to my country my American friend.”
That’s what my guide told me. I was in Papua New Guinea at the time looking into an energy boom the whole world seems to have forgotten about. The way things are shaping up though this is the time to start thinking about it again.
It’s going to be bigger (and more profitable for investors that pay attention) than almost anything else you’ll find out there in the energy sector.

When Will This Rally End?
It’s the question on every investors’ mind…when will this rally end?
There’s no easy answer here. There is a way to tell though. But you probably won’t find it in the mainstream media.
The Times in the U.K. proclaims, “Optimism Races Through Markets After Show of Harmony at G20 Summit.”

The Soft Panic of 2009 Has Just Begun
Boston’s Clarendon Street sits on one of city’s most iconic buildings. It’s also the symbol of what could kick off what I call the Soft Panic of 2009.
Locals know it simply as The Hancock. The 60-story frame wrapped in reflective blue glass makes it look like the tallest mirror in the world. I’m sure it was an impressive sight when it was built in the 70’s. It still is.
The I.M. Pei designed building stood as a symbol of financial strength and ingenuity. Now, it’s looking a whole lot different.
And for those of us looking into this situation now we will be protected. And for more aggressive folks, we’ll actually be able to profit from it all. Here’s how...
