Yesterday, I talked about the tremendous year the solar industry had in 2010. While the S&P was up nearly 20%, some companies saw gains as high as 80% and 120%. And for the first time ever, the industry installed over 1 gigawatt of capacity. Solar has a lot of momentum going into 2011. And that tailwind is being [...]

Yesterday, I told you about an exciting silver investment detailed in Andrew Gordon’s new special report. Andrew says this company’s stock price could gain as much as 760% this year. It has to do with where the company owns land. It has 177,000 acres in the Silver Belt — the best silver mining region in the [...]

There is a lot of money to be made this year by investing in the right silver company. That’s what I learned late last week when our research director, Andrew Gordon, e-mailed me an advance copy of his latest special report. The report will be going out to members of our Liberty Street League very soon. But [...]

In yesterday’s issue of ETR, I talked about Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs). These companies take an entirely different approach than most in the oil and gas sector. They don’t explore or drill for oil or gas. They don’t buy or sell it either. They just move oil or gas from point A to point B or process [...]

The Marcellus Shale gas formation has drawn a lot of attention in the past few years. It contains an estimated 500 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and no fewer than 15 companies are drilling there. But natural gas prices have fluctuated quite a bit for the last nine years. From a low of just over [...]

Yesterday, I told you that there is a class of investments that can produce gains that far exceed their risk level. I gave, as an example, Chevron and Exxon, which returned, respectively, an annual average of 19.9% and 10% over the last decade. Then I told you about another type of investment in the oil and gas [...]

Is it possible to make low-risk investments in the stock market and still earn high returns? The Modern Portfolio Theory says no. The theory states that the lower the risk of an investment, the lower the expected return. But that might not always be the case. There is a class of investments that has generated greater returns with less [...]

2011 looks like it will be a great year in the markets. While we are still very early in the first quarter, the S&P is already up 2.9%. And this is just after the fourth quarter of 2010, when the S&P rose 10.2%. If history repeats itself, the stock market should have quite a year. Right about now, [...]

Yesterday, I discussed the dramatic rise in the “smartphone” and tablet PC markets around the world. In the third quarter of last year, shipments of smartphones rose 95% to an estimated 81 million units. And tablet PC sales are expected to increase by 57% a year for the next four years. The most visible company in [...]

Every time I am out with my friends and take out my cell phone, they laugh at me. It’s not because I have an obnoxious ringtone or a funny plastic cover on it. It’s because of the phone itself. It’s old. In the 3 years I have had the phone, technology has grown by leaps and bounds. And [...]
