It’s hardly a shocker when it comes to the street of greed! That is, more insider trading scandals could be coming Wall Street’s way, following the recent arrests of seven traders and analysts involving that illegal practice… Read More
I continue to recommend buying gold on a dollar cost average basis. Gold is just beginning a long term bull run and most individuals are still not aboard this train.

The veteran market analyst, who dazzled Wall Street in the 1980s and early 1990s with a series of on-the-money market forecasts, predominantly bullish, currently doles out investment advice to about 100 pension, mutual and hedge funds, which manage aggregate assets of more than $1 trillion. A Garzarelli client, on average, runs minimum assets of $150 million. Read More
Again and again I have to keep reminding myself that most portfolio managers, as well as individual investors, firmly believe that not only can the US economy grow its way out of its current mess, but that the US economy has already begun that process.
