The Place to Be Over the Next 10 Years, by Mitchell Clark, B. Comm.

I'm amazed by the strength of this bear market rally and can only surmise that investors that have been sitting on the sidelines decided to invest a small portion of their cash after a period of exasperation. We had a lot of bad news in a short period of time and the main stock market averages corrected significantly in a short period of time. In a sense, the stock market's worst fears about the economy were priced into stocks in record time. I've written about a number of stock market winners over the last month, most of which were U.S.-listed Chinese stocks. In the last week of November, I wrote in this column about the power generation business in China as an industry that's almost recession-proof.

Stock Market Temptation, by Michael Lombardi, CFP, MBA

The floodgates of help from the government continue to open in the United States. It's now believed that Congress wants to use the remaining $350 billion of the $700-billion Troubled Asset Relief Program ("TARP") to reduce interest rates on consumer mortgages and to forgive some mortgage principal. As we all know, the majority of the first half of the TARP bailout went to boost the capital bases of banks. Now, Congress wants to put the focus on helping consumers that are in jeopardy of losing their homes. In modern history, the actions of the Federal Reserve have worked well to bail out the economy when it looked poised for recession.

Forex Spread Trading в Things to Know

Spread trading is one of the most popular currency trading strategies to profit from the rollover fee differences of different currency pairs. Here the trader buys a high interest currency pair (buys a high interest currency like GBP, NZD and AUD against a low interest currency like JPY or CHF). The trader then, for hedging the position holding risk, shorts a low interest currency pair (e.g.: CHF/JPY) having great correlation with the first currency pair. Fore example a trader buys 1, 000, 000 GBP/JPY for getting a rollover interest (daily interest credit of $200 - 250). But the exchange rate fluctuations of the currency pair and market movements can greatly alter the profit making opportunities.
