Why The Dow is Going to 8,000 and America is Still Great

When Miss USA collapsed to the floor during the Miss Universe Competition in Mexico last week - for the second year running - the symbolism was complete.

Will Coal Stocks Get You Back in the Black?
By Guy Bennett, Q1 Publishing
How hot is coal?
Goldsource Mines Inc. (GXS: TSX-V) were searching for diamonds in Saskatchewan last May when they stumbled on a high quality coal seam and their stock soared 9,100% in 3 months.
The irony of a diamond exploration company striking it rich by discovering coal can hardly be overstated.
Supply shortages create opportunities for investors.

Follow the Big Money To Big Profits
By Andrew Mickey, Q1 Publishing
I was watching Italy lose to The Netherlands in the Euro 2008 tournament a couple of days ago when a BBC analyst commented dryly that Italian centre back Marco Materazzi, “needs to be better”.
This reminded me of the oft-repeated advice to investors to “Buy Low - Sell High”.
Materazzi knows that “being better” would be a good strategy - but easier said than done.
Retail investors (regular folks like you and me) want to “be better” and “buy low” – but unfortunately the majority of investors have difficulty doing this.
The most successful investors have disciplined themselves to think and act counter-intuitively, by positioning themselves in stocks that look weak (undervalued) and avoiding those that appear strong (over-valued).
What can investors do to change their psychology and profit from this simple formula that is so easy to understand, and yet so difficult to execute?
The answer to that question could - and does - fill volumes.
But there is one under-utilized strategy that will radically increase your chances of picking a winner.
Find out where the BIG money is and place your bets on them.

Potash Makes Plants and Bank Accounts Grow
By Andrew Mickey, Q1 Publishing
If Potash were a movie it would be “Little Miss Sunshine”. A feel-good investing story brimming with upbeat subplots, it is impossible to dislike. Let’s get rich while feeding the hungry.
Potash is mined from deposits left behind when ancient sea beds evaporated. 95% of the world’s Potash supply is used in fertilizer. There is no commercial substitute. Surging global demand is being driven by macro-economic factors like global population growth, a decrease in arable land and increased consumption of meat in India and China.
Subprime mortgage fallout? A pull back on gold? Recession in the US? Not a concern for stakeholders in the Potash industry. As one wag put it: “As long as people are eating and having sex – Potash prices will continue rising.”
