  • Claymore Interview: Profiting With Clean Energy And Clean Water

    US President Obama has made government investment in alternative energies a priority, and this has led to growing interest in investing in the alternative energy sector. In this exclusive interview with DailyMarkets.com, Claymore Securities president, Christian Magoon, discusses some of the sectors they cover such as clean energy, solar energy, water and shipping. Claymore Securities is an ETF provider that differentiates itself from the crowd by providing ETFs focused on specific sectors … [visit site to read more]

  • Stock Market Review: Worst January Performance In Recent History

    Debt and Equity markets turned in an ugly conclusion to the day, the week and the month, with the US 30-year Treasury Bond and the S&P 500 Index (^GSPC) closing down -8.22% and -8.57% respectively for the month. These losses amount to trillions of dollars.

    At Friday’s close, the DJIA (^DJI) (-148.15 -1.82% to 8000.86), S&P 500 (-19.26 -2.28% to 825.88) and NASDAQ Composite (^IXIC) (-31.42 -2.08% to 1476.42) all closed sharply lower for the second consecutive day, turning what … [visit site to read more]

  • Investor Sentiment: Good Timing

    It was quite a week for me personally and for the markets as volatility returned. The direction for the markets remains down.

    Briefly, about my situation. I live in the Midwest, and we were hit by 2 days of very severe weather; I have been without power for 5 days and counting. A hassle yes but not the end of the world.

  • What The New Energy Economy Means For You

    Despite this week’s concerning news that some effects of climate change are now irreversible, the new “green economy” will continue to grow in both popularity and profitability in the coming years. Although old energy profits will rise for a few more years, they will eventually peak and then drop as supplies run out. Not only will the right “green” investments boost your market returns now and in the future, they also pose a potential benefit to your total economic outlook.

  • Chart Of The Week: Industrial Production In Japan

    With all the hoopla over a 3.8% drop in Q4 GDP in the United States and a 2.0% decline in industrial production reported two weeks ago, this seems like a good time to remind my largely Amerocentric audience that things are much worse overseas, particularly in Asia.

  • U.S. Economy Shrinks 3.8% In 4Q: Worst Isn't Over

    The U.S. economy shrank 3.8% - less than forecast - but still the biggest gross domestic product (GDP) slide since 1982.

    For 2008, GDP rose 1.3%, the slowest pace since 2001’s 0.8% growth.

    Most of the grim indicators of the third quarter - during which the economy shrank by 0.5% - deepened in the fourth. The largest contributors to the downturn were a continued fall in exports and a much larger decrease in equipment and software.

    The most notable offset was a much larger decrease … [visit site to read more]

  • Sirius Stock: Why You Should Never Buy Because It Is Cheap

    I remember hearing all about how wonderful the Sirius (SIRI) /XM Satellite Radio merger was and how you should be buying stock and especially that you should buy because price was around $2.00 or $3.00 and if price moved just a little bit to $4.00 or $6.00 that you would double your money, not to mention if it got up to $10.00 or $20.00 over time.  However, that never happened - in fact, the opposite happened, which underscores a major point in trading.  DO NOT buy a stock only … [visit site to read more]

  • Fed Rate: A Whole Lotta Nothing

    As expected, the Federal Reserve kept its key interest rate near 0% and claimed it stands ready to take additional steps such as purchasing longer-term Treasury bonds if such a move will help get credit flowing once again.

    It seems their logic is that lowering the yield on government bonds will spur other lenders to lower their own yields. Hmmm, isn’t the mantra of cheaper money everywhere sounding familiar? Why, of course it is.

    House Democrats propose to spend $550 billion of their two-year, $825 billion “stimulus bill” (the rest of it being tax cuts). Most of the spending is unlikely to be timely or temporary. Strangely, most of it is targeted toward sectors of the economy where unemployment is the lowest.
