  • All Roads Lead To Commodities by Dr. Stephen Leeb
    Three seemingly disparate news items last week strongly suggest that the investment world is bifurcating into commodity and non-commodity investments – or if you will long-term winners and long-term losers. First, India's central bank announced that it had bought 200 tons of gold from the... More »

  • Weekend Review, October 26-30: Big Drop in the Markets this Week by JasonGordon
    We saw some serious deterioration in the markets this week. All of this action culminated in Friday’s incredibly bearish activity, with the TRIN and VIX giving highly bearish sentiment reads. The TRIN was well above 2 for most of Friday’s session. The VIX popped 24% on Friday putting... More »

  • Brazil's Idiotic Move to Restrict Capital Inflows by Mad Hedge Fund Trader
    I’ve got to comment on Brazil’s (EWZ) idiotic move last week to impose a 2% tax on real stock and bond purchases to scare off foreign investors. It’s like firing off an emergency flare in the night and saying “Come and get me.” If any portfolio manager was living in... More »

  • Global Recovery More Important Than Currency Intervention by Anna Fedec
    Last week, Brazil announced the implementation of a 2% tax on capital inflows for fixed income and equities.
