Rare earth more valuable than gold?

I recently took a trip to China where I was able to explore and get a better firsthand understanding of what is going on in that country, and not just all the hype one reads about.

You can read about my trip and my conclusions right here.

I also think you'll find it interesting that the Shanghai index that we discussed in my earlier blog posting is proving to be accurate.

In today's blog posting we are going to be discussing a resource that China has more of than anywhere else on the planet, rare earth. Continue reading "Rare earth more valuable than gold?"

Poll: One bad Apple spoils the bunch?

With the announcement that Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, would be taking yet another medical leave of absence, the "golden" Apple took a dive and with it, so did the NASDAQ.

Perhaps it's just a coincidence, but the NASDAQ seems to lean heavily on this one booming tech stock.

So today I ask:

If Apple were to take a plunge, would it take the NASDAQ with it?

Adam's 5 Big Market Predictions for 2011

It's that time of year again when everyone who is considered an "expert" comes out of their ivory towers and makes their annual market predictions for the New Year.

It's time to kiss those predictions goodbye.

I can honestly say that I wish I had a crystal ball like these other forecasters, but that's not quite how the markets work. You see, markets don't give a "Rats A**" about what forecasters say or what predictions economists make. The market is the only true voice out there.

Think about that for a moment. How many predictions do you remember that were even close to being spot on a year in advance? I remember several forecasts for 2010 and most of them were far from accurate.

Does it make any sense to trade on a year-end forecast, not knowing what can happen in this crazy world we live in? It doesn't make any sense to me or to other professional traders who never trade based on year-end predictions.

So let's get back to reality and take a look back on 2010 to see what the big trends are showing for 2011.

This little stock could get a lot bigger

Here is an interesting little stock that could get a lot bigger

Here's a little something to consider: the next big battle between Google and Apple in the smart phone arena could very well be voice recognition.

Two weeks ago Google purchased Phonetic Arts who develop speech synthesis technology designed to improve the quality of spoken language. They purchased it to basically beef up their Android OS for smart phones.

There's no quick fix for the global economy.

Regardless of what others might say, there is no quick fix for the global economy.

To illustrate this point, a friend of mine recently sent me a chart which I would like to share with you. This charts shows that we may be going into a prolonged period of no growth in the overall stock market. The NASDAQ peaked at 5,132.52 on March 10th, 2000. The NASDAQ market is in many ways more important than the DOW, and should be considered more of a leading indicator. If that is truly the case, then we have been in a bear market for the last eight years.

Trading throughout the balance of this decade and into the early part of the next decade is going to be the key to survival and for recovering the profits in your portfolio. We strongly recommend that you approach these markets with some level of expertise and knowledge of technical trading.

The future is going to be the future and we need to take advantage of every moment and prepare ourselves to be the very best we can be in whatever business or endeavor we are pursuing.

What do you think is going to happen to the world economy in the next 7 years?
