ETF's Are For Sissy's / Companies / Investing 2010
By: Dudley_Baker
What happened to the good old day's when investors actually did their homework and researched new potential investment opportunities? I am talking about investing in individual companies.
Let's take the natural resource sector as an example. You could invest in many different ETF's giving you a position in a basket of securities. But, and this is a big issue with us, investors will never achieve the big gains of 100s and 1000s of percent returns with any ETF. How much are you making with your ETF's?

Sorting Through Asian ETFs / Companies / Emerging Markets
By: Ron_Rowland
You shouldn’t be surprised if I tell you I like Asia. I talk about Asia frequently, both in my Money and Markets columns and in International ETF Trader.
The reason is simple: Asia is where I see the best growth in today’s globalized economy. You can find good opportunities in Latin America and a few other places, too. But Asia is the Big Kahuna! Every serious investor has to be involved there to some degree.

GM’s $10.6 Billion IPO Could be an Enticing Opportunity For Investors / Companies / US Auto's
By: Money_Morning
Don Miller writes:
General Motors in an initial public offering (IPO) this month will price its shares at a level that could regenerate investor interest, and even throw off generous returns over time.
At least that's the hope of the U.S. government, which is likely to see its taxpayer-owned stake fall to less than the symbolically important 50% level when it sells approximately $7 billion of its shares in the IPO.

By: Money_Morning
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: The United States - and Wall Street - is surrendering its mantle as the global center for intial public stock offerings (IPOs).

Metals and Mining Corporate Earnings Critical Crystal Ball for November 2010 / Companies / Metals & Mining
By: Anthony_David
The global steel industry has had to bear the brunt of the uneven global economy and quite unlike the upbeat expectations harbored at the beginning of the year, both sale and price of steel is on the decline while raw material cost is on the upswing. The failure of the construction industry to regain its pre-recession status is adversely affecting the steel market although the auto and appliance industries have reflected a surge in growth. Global leader ArcelorMittal’s Q3 results reported a drop of 21% from Q2, although it reflected a 48% jump in profits YoY. The company expects steel shipments to increase in Q4 but selling prices are expected to fall.

Stock Traders Eye on Qualcomm and Microsoft / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Qualcomm (QCOM) is up about 2.5% today and after nearly a month of sideways digestion off of its Sep 30 high at 45.75 into Tuesday's low at 43.21 appears to have finally resumed its underlying uptrend from the July low at 31.51.
If such a scenario continues to unfold, then QCOM should be in the early portion of a new upleg that projects to the 48.00 area next. At this juncture, only a decline that breaks the Oct 26 low at 43.21 will invalidate the bullish scenario.

Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited: Record Quarterly Net Income of $121.5 million / Companies / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Bob_Kirtley
Another record performance by Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited (AEM) on the back of high gold prices along with the completion of a number of quality projects should render the Eagle more than desirable in this sector of the market. And as the trend is to acquire more ounces on Bay Street through merger and acquisition activity, its a surprise to us that this company has not been the target of a take over move by one of the large caps.

How Investors Can Profit From Asia's Sparkling Luxury Goods Market / Companies / Investing 2010
By: Tony_Sagami
I should be used to it by now, but I am always amazed at the conspicuous display of wealth whenever I travel to Asia. The signs of wealth are everywhere.
I see more people drinking $3 cups of Starbucks coffee in Shanghai than I see in Seattle. I see more ladies clutching expensive Louis Vuitton handbags in Beijing than in Boston. I see more iPods and iPhones in Hong Kong than in Houston. And I see more $200,000 Bentleys on the streets of Wuhan than in Palm Beach, Florida.

Upside Reversal for Bank of America BAC / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The 4% upmove today in Bank of America (BAC) after it hit lows not seen since May 2009 (on the way up) so far looks technically significant.
My daily and hourly pattern and momentum work on BAC suggest strongly that the most recent downleg from the 14.00 area ended this morning at new multi-month lows at 11.03. The upside reversal (so far) has the "right look" of a significant upside reversal and recovery rally within the 14.00-11.00 price move.
