One of the major ways for investors to make money over the next 20 years will be in the health care sector. The reason can be summed up in two words: baby boomers. At 75 million strong, they will be spending an unprecedented amount of money on health care as they age. As a result, you [...]

Is the biggest question on your mind “Are we in a bubble?” or “When will the ride come to an end?” We recently passed the two-year anniversary of the market hitting Great Recession lows. The Dow is up 84%. The S&P is 92% higher. And the NASDAQ has climbed a remarkable 113% since March 2009. Hopefully, you have [...]

Need more income? Join the crowd. Scads of folks are scouring the landscape for decent income investments to beef up their monthly take home – especially now, with gas and other everyday items skyrocketing. Thing is, with Bernanke & Co. printing money like there’s no tomorrow, the returns on bonds, CDs, and money market funds are almost [...]

Yesterday, I talked about why inflation and rising interest rates are pretty much a "sure thing" because of all the "new money" the Fed created through its quantitative easing programs.

I don’t think there is ever a “sure thing” in the investment world. But I have found one that comes as close to it as possible. And I expect it to generate a serious profit, perhaps as much as 50%, in the next 2 years. But it could go much higher. In just the six months [...]

A dangerous group of American exchanges is attracting money from thousands of investors. These exchanges are nothing like the Dow Jones Industrial, Nasdaq, or S&P 500. You can’t buy well-known companies like GE or McDonald’s on them. Nor can you buy the small high-tech companies found on the Nasdaq. But they claim to give you a [...]

Yesterday, I discussed the pressures being put on the global supply of fresh water. Nearly 1 billion people don’t have access to clean drinking water – and as the world’s population grows, the situation will only get worse. A growing population also means more mouths to feed, and the need for more water to grow [...]

Boutros Boutros-Ghali’s statement that the wars of the 21st century will be fought over water may strike you as absurd. Perhaps ridiculous. After all, most wars of the 20th century were fought over oil. And our appetite for oil hasn’t slowed. All indications are that demand will rise 25% in the next 20 years. But we [...]

Dr. Rusty McDougal first warned me about GLD last year. (GLD is the exchange-traded fund that uses shareholder money to buy an equivalent amount of gold, minus expenses.) Rusty is a gold bug. But he doesn’t like GLD. He doesn’t think it has the gold it claims to have. And he says it’s in cahoots [...]

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 [...]
