Where Are Jim Rogers, Marc Faber and Doug Casey Investing Their Money in This Market?

Stocks, Commodities are set to rise USD Index and Treasuries (price) to plunge once again short-term. Monthly charts, market sentiment, bear trend exhaustation and seasonal market behavior will reverse the fall for a while, in my view. Fundamentals does not have to improve to make it happen they just have to be better than expected, and consensus for data expected is getiing pretty bad, so a couple of numbers can eaily be better than expected, as it happened in 2005, we were not doing that well but every single piece of data was not as bad as the worst piece of data that we had before.

Three Noteworthy Sectors: Gold, Food and Healthcare

Gold and food are indeed recession proof, the problem with healthcare is not president's Obama plan, it is that it became a business-for-profit concept only so that Doctors, Drug Manufacturers etc actually need to make as much money as they can without having a sensible approach to what "healthcare means". I agree with User 224899 and GMiki's regarding attorneys, we got use pay USD 400/hour to an attorney (regardless of their qualifications) just because he would be able to get the money back one way or the other, and businesses became used to not recognize citizen's rights unless there is an attorney involved, vicious circle. The original concept of healthcare needs to be understood, if citiizens are healthy they will still pay their monthly premiums, but if you need 100 / USD 100.000 surgery / year (needed by the patient or not) to make money out of the business then your values are wrong. Management and a good effort not to become a WS-like enterprise is what the Country needs. Citizens needs to play a role on this by making sense of the way we use healthcare services, but in the end, either good or bad, healthcare is here to stay otherwise the Government would be in serious trouble down the road.
