When I sit down to select dividend-paying stocks for my readers, my personal portfolio, and my mother’s portfolio, I don’t just consider the “usual” numbers…
Of course, I look at important things like brand quality, profit margins, and sales growth…
If you hold a natural gas trust in your portfolio, you might be holding a ticking time bomb. For years, one of my favorite trades was generating income from beaten-down natural gas. These are companies that own royalties on acreage in older oil and gas fields. The companies receive a share of production revenues and pass most of it along to shareholders in the form of dividends. It’s a great investment if you buy them when oil and gas prices are low. And we thought we did. However, things have changed. It’s time to get out before things get worse. Let me explain…
The gold bull market is over… get out while you still can! If you believe the mainstream media, that’s probably what you’re thinking right now. Gold prices have trended lower over the last eight months. Many investors now wonder if the 11-year gold bull market is finally over. But the recent correction is nothing to worry about. The fundamental picture for gold has not changed, as I’ll explain today. And based on history, we can expect to see a new high in gold prices in 12 months or less. Let me explain…
I am extremely bullish on natural gas. For those of you who have been watching the price chart of natural gas… that probably seems strange. As you can see in the chart below, the price of natural gas has been trending down for years… I don’t expect this to change much for several years.
Do you think people are ready to give up their coffee? Do you think they’re going to stop wearing T-shirts? No? Then it’s time to look at a couple of “soft” commodities. Soft commodities are simply things that are grown. You don’t grow a barrel of oil or a ton of coal. But you do grow coffee and cotton. The other commodities get a lot more attention, so you might not have heard: In the past 18 months, the world has turned its back on these commodities. Prices have plummeted… But we could be on the verge of an explosive reversal. Let me explain…
The stage is set for a global financial reset… The central bankers in the U.S. and Europe plan to use inflation to wipe away their bad debts. That is their only hope. They believe that they’ll be able to control inflation… that it won’t end up getting out of control and destroying the monetary system they’ve built. I believe they’ll be proven wrong… eventually. But in the meantime, we have a nearly risk-free way to make huge gains in bank stocks. My thesis is simple.
Yesterday’s stock market action had a little something for everyone. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 72 points. The S&P 500 was basically unchanged. And the Nasdaq got clubbed for 23 points. So whether you’re bullish, bearish, or agnostic… you had something to smile about. But it looks like the bears may be the only ones grinning in a week or two. Take a look at this chart of the S&P 500…
We are in the midst of what I call the Bernanke Asset Bubble. In the end, it could turn out to be the greatest bubble in American history. I expect nearly all assets will soar to prices currently unimaginable today.
