ETF Talk: Does the Yen Offer a Safe Haven?
If you are concerned that the stock market’s rise in recent months could be running out of steam, you may want to consider protecting yourself by making a short-term investment in a stable foreign currency, such as the Japanese yen. With the yen appreciating in the face of a weakening U.S. dollar, the Japanese currency […]
Give Thanks to Those Who Deserve It, 2009
Now, for another perspective on being thankful, here is my good friend and writer extraordinaire Jim Woods with a few unconventional thoughts on the matter. Enjoy! By Jim Woods This Thursday is Thanksgiving, and I suspect that most of you reading this have plans to spend time with friends and family feasting on a sumptuous […]
What I’m Truly Thankful For
I can’t let this Thanksgiving week go by without addressing a few things that I’m truly thankful for. On Monday, I had a great conversation with a new Successful Investing subscriber who told me that prior to joining the service he was so worried about the market and his investments that it actually was making […]
A Year-End Rally?
This time of year, we normally can count on the market being in full-rally mode. There is a term that I use in my book "Maverick Investing" to describe this time of year. I call it the growth season, and it’s from Nov. 1 through April 30. Historically, this is the time when the market […]
‘Paine’-ful Wisdom
“Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.” –Thomas Paine I think the great Thomas Paine said it all with this famous quote, so I’ll refrain from any further elaboration other than to say that if you haven’t read any of this incredible thinker’s work, […]

ETF Talk: Striking Black Gold
The continued weakening of the U.S. dollar could spur a mini-gusher for investors looking to profit from oil. Also known as black gold, oil is among the commodities that tend to be inversely related to the strength of the U.S. dollar. As the dollar dips, the price of oil rises. Indeed, the exploding U.S. debt […]
The Professor on the Dollar
“Has America’s Federal Reserve become the single greatest obstacle to global economic recovery? Central bankers around the world increasingly are asking this question as the American greenback continues its Fed-inspired decline and damages the export-driven growth of countries from Latin America and Asia to Europe.” The preceding quote comes to us courtesy of my friend […]
The President on the Debt
I find it both a welcome relief and an ironic twist of fate that President Obama now feels compelled to address the issue of our national debt. In an interview with Fox News, (another ironic twist given Mr. Obama’s hitherto reluctance to speak with Fox reporters), the president said that if government debt were to […]
Punching a Hole in the Ceiling
The key metric in the market since last week has been the breaching of the psychologically and technically significant 1,100 mark on the S&P 500 Index. The index managed to punch a hole in this ceiling on its way to a new, 52-week high. As you can see by the chart below of SPX, this […]
