It?s a good thing I went to an Oktoberfest last week. That gave me a chance to get my German up to snuff just in time for Deutsche Bank to run into financial troubles. Since 2008, the knee jerk reaction to bad news about any major bank is that the Lehman Brothers nightmare is about
The S&P 500 has just bounced off the 214 level for the second time this month. Is it safe to come out of your cave? Is to time to take the hard hat back to the basement? If you had taken Cunard?s round-the-world cruise three months ago, as I recommended, you would be landing in

Not only do I pick up some great information about regions, industries, businesses, and companies, I also learn how to rapidly evolve the Diary of a Mad Hedge Fund Trader service to
If you have been living in a cave for the last 75 years and missed the work of management guru, Peter F. Drucker, here is your chance to catch up.I finished reading The Essential Drucker, a weighty tome of 368 pages which summarized the high points and pearls of wisdom of the author's 38 books

I could see this one coming a mile off. Expectations of a substantial outcome from the Algiers OPEC meeting were zero. Traders loaded up on the short side. So when word leaked out about a production cap to take place in November, futures went screaming, adding $3, or 6.75% to the price of Texas tea
Asset allocation is the one question I get every day which I absolutely cannot answer. The reason is simple: no two investors are alike. The answer depends on your age, net worth, tax bracket, risk tolerance and whether you're a sophisticated investor or an average Joe. ?Asset allocation is something you should ask your financial

The good news is that you don?t have to be crazy, paranoid, or delusional to own gold (GLD). However, the ?hundreds of individual investors I know who absolutely love the barbarous relic may not know exactly why. They originally filled safe deposit boxes with old jewelry, American Eagles, and bullion bars as a hedge against

There is only one event this week of any real consequence, and that is the first presidential debate on Monday, September 26 at 6:00 PM EST at Hoftsra University in New York City. You don?t need to know the channel. It will be broadcast on all of them, as well as streamed live on multiple
The electric car industry is about to get turned right side up. The dozen manufacturers out there have long struggled to achieve ranges that could match the 300 miles that is standard for competing gasoline engines. All electric cars on the market today max out at 100-mile ranges or less. Except, that is, my Tesla

There is no doubt that old tech is back with a vengeance. Look at the trifecta of blockbuster earnings reports from Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), and Alphabet (GOOGL) recently, and you can reach no other conclusion. The Microsoft turnaround in particular has been amazing. PCs, and the software to run them were so 1990s. After
Are you looking for an investment that does well during modest economic growth, a flat to slightly falling dollar, continued low interest rates, and a stock market that periodically hits the panic button? Then General Electric (GE) is the stock for you. I have just spent my day surfing the web for tidbits about GE
