Ron Paul on Monetary Policy: Who’s In Charge of the Dollar? 2008-07-13 07:01:23 Here’s a video of Ron Paul
at the latest Financial Services Hearing, July 10, 2008, talking to Henry Paulson. Wow. You’d never get this information so quick ten years ago. Take advantage of it! Now is the time to learn more about the US economy and about what’s really going on. [...]

Never Heard of IndyMac But It Looks Like Jim Rogers Is Right Again 2008-07-12 16:28:38 What an amazing and totally unsurprising story. Apparently, “IndyMac’s seizure marks the fifth FDIC-insured failure of the year,” as reported on KNBC. It’s yet another case of the US government trying to bail out a financial institution. I can see Jim Rogers
seething in a mixture of disbelief and “I-told-you-so” right [...]

How Much Diversification is Enough? 2008-07-29 07:01:19 The answer to this question depends on who you’re talking to, of course. One author spouting ETF’s shows how, if you want to keep things really basic, you only need three ETF’s if they’re well chosen. A bond ETF, an S&P composite ETF, and some foreign ETF. Jim Cramer doesn’t do ETFs, [...]

ZENN Cars Perfect for City-Dwellers: Zero Emissions, No Noise! 2008-07-28 07:09:42 Haven’t yet heard of Toronto-based ZENN Motor Company (TSX: ZNN)? I hadn’t either until two days ago. Honda Schmonda and the fuel-cell cars that are only available in SoCal. You can buy your ZENN car (that stands for Zero Emissions, No Noise
) in Oak Forest, IL, Bozeman, MT and Fayetteville, NC. [...]

Jim Cramer’s Top Ten Stock Picks for Diversification 2008-07-27 07:01:05 This past weekend I was in my local library and perusing through the financial section when I picked up Jim Cramer
’s Real Money (2005) and Mad Money (2006) books. I’d heard obliquely of Cramer before, but, I think because historically I’ve been so focussed on “DRIPPING” as my sole investing strategy, I’d never had [...]

Phillipines Poised to Become First-Class Economy by 2020 2008-08-13 07:01:26 The Philippines, which is officially known as the Republic of the Philippines, is located in Southeast Asia. It comprises 3 big islands, namely: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Because of its geographic location, a variety of crops can be produced. The main exports of the Philippines come from the agriculture sector. Certain products like palay, [...]

Cashflow Consciousness 2008-08-11 07:07:57 Last week Double from DoubleOurMoney suggested that I spend some more time talking about cashflow and where I’m at in my progress with it. It is, after all, my main goal: to boost my monthly cashflow from diverse, global sources to a point where I have gained significant options regarding how I can spend [...]

No Emergency Fund Yet? Invest in Dividends as A Bridge 2008-09-19 07:06:07 It can take a while to build up an emergency fund. Besides, you’ll probably need more than one. You need a “big” emergencies fund for things such as accidents, deaths, or job loss. But you also need a general “unexpected contingencies” fund for expenditures that aren’t family or life and death emergencies, but are nevertheless [...]

Is This The Bottom? Complexity Theory and Global Markets 2008-10-29 16:01:46 Another rally in the markets today. The US dollar is down again and the Canadian dollar is up by another four cents, following on oil’s rise above $66 (it’s now at more than $68 after hours as I write). Quite amazing how quickly the cash flows back in once those on the sidelines sense there’s [...]

Will There Be Political Instability? How Bad Can Things Get? 2008-10-28 10:42:37 When you consider all that’s been happening and put it on a short timeline, it’s amazing that we’re still seeing so much coordinated effort internationally. This is great. No one anywhere wants global markets in chaos. It’s a good sign, in a way, that there is so much financial cooperation (at least that public knowledge [...]
Iceland Asks for IMF Aid Amid Financial Collapse 2008-10-28 01:48:34 Iceland has become the first Western country since 1976 to need aid from the IMF. Its government bailed out three of its nations’ banks, but because its currency - the krona - has fallen to 50% of its previous value, the country is basically in ruins now.
That’s bad enough, but it also affects UK citizens [...]

Finally Feeling the Recession? 2008-11-18 19:47:46 With me, it’s not that I’ve lost a job, or have huge health care bills or even have to take care of children. I’m trying to live on a scholarship that gets hacked down to only 80% of its size just because it crosses the border. Imagine having to pay a 20% tax on your [...]

Robert Hsu’s ChinaProfitStrategy Recommendations 2008-11-17 06:11:36 Some of you may already know Robert
Hsu, whose book on investing in China came out earlier this year. You can read a review of it that I wrote - just click on the “books” link in the top right and then check out my post on the books I’ve read since January.
Well, Robert Hsu [...]
Calmness in the Markets, Or Something About November 2008-11-16 06:32:35 I don’t think the markets are all that calm right now - the VIX is still hovering around the 60’s - but they are definitely calmer than they were one month ago. There’s a more long-term uncertainty now, perhaps, rather than a day-to-day disaster feeling, even if the roller coasters in the Dow are still [...]
