Our Steroid Pumped Economy

Try this forecast from a European point of view...........

The US$ will slide further over the next few years and global stocks will retest the March 2009 prices. Property prices will tumble again and oil will fall back to $50 in 2010.

All this means that gold will go up and up as the only safe haven from fiat paper and so you should short technology and auto stocks and at the same time travel the world to miss the inherent defationary spiral but hold farm commodities which should hold up well led by sugar.

BUY sovereign bonds which could well generate turbo charged returns........and all this is due to the 45 trillion world wide debt taken on by governments.

I could go on but I wont............

Natural Gas Extraction May Be More Expensive Than It Seems

Most of what you say came from an article in the UK Sunday Times by Danny Fortson.

The article went on to say that Tony Hayward the CEO of BP indicated that the USA ia awash with gas and that the new technology has created a revolution. Shale gas could meet half of America's demand within two decades and turn the country into a net exporter.

On the other hand Cheniere Energy, once a stock market darling, has seen over 90% of its market value disappear. But for most investors who are short term punters its all about PRICE.

There is hardly a major motorway and look at what goes on with there train system jet its all there and the problem is dismantling what we Brits left them with - an outdated system including the legal one and lots of "kick backs".
Ignore all your GDP and Earnings and just lock away for 5/10 years and we will make more money than by investing in China who do not have the legal system our two countries enjoy.

Gaining Exposure to Food Producers’ Rising Profits with ETFs

I am not convienced with your article. Big food businesses are very world wide so profits from one segment of the world are offset by losses from anothe.
Take the case of Kraft v Cadbury. Kraft may be well run but its general return on its world assets etc is not that good and even Buffett has warned the board of Kraft not to overpay for Cadbury.
The long and short of investing in food ETFs is profit and over time with world food inflation I really do not think I would make a great return.
Prove to me you can and I will invest ........................
