“It’s déjà vu all over again.” Is one of Yogi Berra’s famous original quotes and the same can be said for the DOW right now. The weekly chart on the DOW is flashing the same Japanese candlestick signal that it had earlier in April of this year. Back then the DOW dropped from 11,200 to […]

TV revolutionized communication. Shortly afterward it became a mainstay of popular culture. TV changed the world and how we view information, not unlike what is happening on the internet today.
But do you know what TV was supposed to do?

I just finished a short video in which I discovered an eerily similar pattern in the NASDAQ. If the pattern repeats then it certainly is going to be a rough third and fourth-quarter for most investors. In this short three minute video I give you exact points and the formation that I’ve seen that could

Almost every day we hear of more ways the government is trying to control our lives and get into our wallet in order to pay for it. Like sand through an hourglass our freedom is slowly slipping away. Everything requires more reporting, more government oversight and more of our money to do it. Only you can protect yourself but it takes knowledge, and effort in order to do it.

The Gulf of Mexico disaster has changed U.S. priorities, costs, and energy supply sources for years to come. But the fact that the U.S. needs energy isn’t changing anytime soon, and as mass sources of green energy are still a while away, the most likely alternative might be the most surprising one.
With US$15 billion invested annually in offshore drilling in the United States, the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico means that this money is getting ready to migrate elsewhere. And it is the Athabasca oil sands of Alberta, Canada, that are number one on the list.

It’s kind of ironic, I find, that the very same people who are quickest to scoff when hearing the phrase “This time it’s different” – namely the professional investing class – apparently see nothing to worry about in the idea that the world’s largest debtor can run the world’s largest deficits… and do so at historically low interest rates.
To which I would comment, “Trust your eyes.” If it seems as though the situation is untenable, it very likely is. The only real question in my mind is, how long can this fiction persist? To that I don’t have an answer, but I suspect that when the truth of the situation is revealed – possibly by the roundabout path of seeing one or more of the large Asian economies come unglued – things will get far uglier, far faster, than most people suspect.

It’s no longer 1973, when President Nixon could declare that our status as top energy consumer was “good. That means we are the richest, strongest people in the world.” Today, bragging about winning the energy-eating competition doesn’t gain you any brownie points. Which is probably why Chinese authorities were quick to reject the IEA data as “unreliable,” choosing instead to focus on their intention to sink about 5 trillion RMB (about US$750 billion) into renewable energy projects.
Despite the denials, a new age in the history of energy has begun, and the implications are enormous. China may not want to accept the honors, but the reality is that it’s now the most important player on energy’s demand side.
