• My What-If-Obama-Wins Portfolio

  Gennady Favel submits: Let's for a moment travel to one likely version of the near future. The date is November 4th , the time around 11pm, and just moments ago all major news networks confirmed that Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States. Index futures plummet on fears that Obama's policies will hurt big business and increase taxes on the very wealthy. But this is no time to panic. With any change comes opportunity. And with big change, the opportunities can be even more rewarding. Complete Story » Posted Monday, November 03, 2008 7:44 AM Filed under: PBW, NLR, IRBT, MCD, BKC, DRI, Gennady Favel

• Alt Energy ETFs: Separating Profit Potential From the Hype

  Gary Gordon submits: I am always fascinated by the questions that I receive from readers of ETF Expert as well listeners of my radio show, "In the Money with Gary Gordon." Often, a question takes me by surprise. For example, few investments have been as rocked as hard by the global equity sell-off as the alternative energy space. And yet, Scott wonders, "Is now the time to get behind 'wind' like T. Boone Pickens?" Complete Story » Posted Wednesday, October 22, 2008 2:44 AM Filed under: PBW, PBD, GEX, NLR, FAN, Gary Gordon

• 8 Stocks to Buy if McCain Wins

  Teeka Tiwari submits: This week's article will be short and to the point. I’m at the Republican National Convention and so far there is not a whole lot to report on. To date, Hurricane Gustav has had everybody focused on issues bigger than politics. However, as the Gulf Coast appears to have been spared the worst of Gustav’s wrath, the talk once again is returning to the political issues. One of the big issues being bandied about this week centers around expanding domestic drilling for oil and natural gas. While many Americans support enlarging domestic oil and gas exploration, the Democrats have been more lukewarm to the idea.

• Commodity and Energy Fund Returns

  Richard Shaw (QVM Group) submits: Commodity and energy funds of all sorts have proliferated in this recent commodity cycle. There are so many and they are so diverse, it is difficult to keep them all in mind. We put together this table of a variety of broad and narrow focus commodity and energy funds (and related funds) to provide some perspective.

• 3 Investment Ideas for the Rest of 2008 and 2009

  Russell Bailyn submits: Sometimes obvious economics can lead us to profitable investment strategies. I think a few such opportunities exist right now and I’d like to share them with my readers. If you have other ideas or comments on mine, please share. Why pass up a potential way to make money? First, one might consider becoming bullish on the US dollar. Two contributing factors to the dollar’s recent weakness have been the extended period of low interest rates and the enormous trade deficit we run here in the US. Because of how bad inflation is right now, it’s more than likely the Fed will raise rates at one of their next meetings. This action would curb inflation by making dollars more expensive to borrow. The lower supply of dollars will raise their value against other major currencies such as the Euro and the Yen.

• Does Al Gore Finally Get It?

  Michael Fitzsimmons submits: Al Gore has always gotten climate change, global warming, and CO2 levels. He "got it" before I did. The carbon dating of the ice-core samples was enough scientific data to prove to me, engineer that I am, that the CO2 levels are exponentially increasing due to man's activity on Earth: specifically burning fossil fuels. The ice caps shrinking, glaciers receding, ocean levels rising, the threat it all poses - I buy it. He was spot-on. Gore deserves the Nobel Prize and the Oscar for "An Inconvenient Truth". He has led the way. However, in some ways, Al Gore has done a disservice to his own cause by warning about the consequences of global warming instead of the realities of worldwide oil production versus demand. As I have said for years now, the biggest, most imminent threat to the US economy and indeed to worldwide civilization as a whole, will be the inability of worldwide oil production to meet worldwide oil demand while our economies is still oil based.
