Is Citi Bank the Next AIG? / Companies / Credit Crisis Bailouts
By: John_Rubino
Back in December there was a flurry of press around the passage of a banking bill that was 1) reportedly written by Citigroup and 2) put taxpayers on the hook for over-the-counter derivatives, obscure financial instruments that periodically blow up and in which Citi had a big position. Distrustful cynics like Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren claimed to see a connection:

The "Jigsaw" Strategy for Investor Tech Stocks Profits 2015 / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Money_Morning
William Patalon writes: My wife Robin is a financial advisor and a CPA.
She also possesses one of the sharpest minds I've ever seen.
That's probably why she has such an affinity for jigsaw puzzles. Back in upstate New York, when we were both attending business school together at night, there was nothing she liked more to "decompress" during the lull between the semesters than to do a jigsaw puzzle.

Two Stocks Perfect for Japan Demographics Crisis Anti-Trend Play / Companies / Japanese Stock Market
By: Money_Morning
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: The really great thing about following our “Unstoppable Global Trends” is that there are many ways to invest in each of them. The possibilities are endless, as is the profit potential.
Take Demographics, for example.
We’ve talked a lot about what’s happening in Japan right now and the conditions there that make it the perfect “Anti-Trend” investment. Between the crushing debt, the aging population, the lack of a workable immigration policy, and decades of abysmal fiscal policy working against it, the country is in trouble – thus my recommendation to short the currency via ProShares UltraShort Yen (NYSEArca:YCS).

This American Design Classic Is a Great Stock to Buy in 2015 / Companies / Investing 2015
By: Money_Morning
Michael E. Lewitt writes: Believe it or not, there are still a few U.S. companies that do not rely on debt, manipulative accounting, and massive stock buybacks to generate strong earnings and a high stock price in today's overpriced stock market.
Some companies, like the one I'm about to show you, still make money the old-fashioned way: selling a well-made product, managing their balance sheet, and finding and keeping management talent for the long haul.

The biotech market enjoyed a stellar 2013 and withstood a solid check in early 2014 before rebounding, essentially following the upward trend that most experts forecast. What is in store for 2015? The Life Sciences Report turned to newsletter writer John McCamant and WBB Securities' Steve Brozak for insight.

Commodity Companies with the Disruptive Advantage / Companies / Metals & Mining
By: Metals_Report
Globetrotting Chris Berry, founder of House Mountain Partners, finds most retail and institutional investors sitting on the sidelines waiting to see where the energy sector is headed before jumping back into the game. Game-changing disruptive technologies or sustainable end-user agreements are what companies need to succeed and he shares some likely names in the cobalt, lithium, nickel, graphite—even uranium—spaces in this interview with The Mining Report.
The Mining Report: Chris, on your travels, what are you seeing in Europe and Asia regarding supply and demand in the commodity markets?

By: Investment_U
Tom Sandford writes: A lot can change in 30 years of business, especially if the company is synonymous with the market segment.
Since its founding in 1984, Cisco Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: CSCO) has grown to be worth $47 billion, with 72,000 global employees. But as IT hardware demand falls victim to the cloud, the company is scrambling to recoup losses from its biggest moneymaker.

Twitter, the Only Social Media Stock Play I'm Recommending Right Now / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Money_Morning
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: I recently talked about the secret I wish everybody knew when it comes to market timing and discussed one of the most valuable Total Wealth tools of all – the Put/Call Ratio.
I also promised you a look at one great trade in particular involving a current social media darling. Today I'd like to keep that promise.
If you've been with me for a while, you already know I don't like social media stocks. They're not hooked into our unstoppable trends (nope, not even Technology). Their products are "nice to have" instead of "need to have." And most of them have no real way to make money.
But that's the thing about tactics.

Chaos Mounts in Russia. Here's What Investors Can Do… / Companies / Russia
By: Money_Morning
Dr. Kent Moors writes: The collapse in oil prices has exposed some vulnerable economies. All of them are dependent upon crude export sales to maintain even the appearance of a national budget.
As you might expect, every member of OPEC falls into this group, although Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates have sufficient reserves that will allow them to carry sizable budget deficits for some time.

Eurozone Conflict Will Bring a Major Stocks Buying Opportunity / Companies / Investing 2015
By: Money_Morning
Peter Krauth writes: As the European Central Bank (ECB) top brass battle it out on quantitative easing, the stakes couldn't be higher.
Europe's at the precipice of deflation, despite European Central Bank President Mario Draghi attempting to do "whatever it takes" to avoid that fate.
But dissent at the highest levels could quickly change the winds of investment in Europe.

Crude Oil Price Drop Signals the End for Tesla Motors? / Companies / US Auto's
By: DailyGainsLetter
George Leong writes: Tesla Motors, Inc. (NASDAQ/TSLA) is currently running into a traffic jam on the chart, having declined 27% since trading at $291.42 on September 4. But I see this kind of move in a stock like this as a possible investment opportunity.
Now we are hearing market watchers saying Tesla is dead money as long as oil and gasoline prices stay low. The problem I see with this argument is that it ties the value of Tesla to the direction of oil. While the lower oil prices may hurt Tesla as an investment opportunity, I’m not convinced.

Investing and the Passive Management Bubble / Companies / Investing 2014
By: Michael_Pento
We have happened upon that time in the investment cycle when investors vastly eschew active management of their assets in favor of a more passive management style. In fact, I read recently 461 Hedge Funds, a hallmark of active investment management, shut their doors in the first half of this year alone. If liquidations continue at that rate, they'll outpace the 1,023-closure record from 2009. All signs now indicate that active management has fallen out of vogue.

Scary Stocks Investors Should Shun in 2015 / Companies / Investing 2015
By: Money_Morning
Michael A. Robinson writes: Earlier this week, I predicted a strong year for technology stocks in 2015.
But that doesn’t mean every tech stock is going to be a winner in the New Year.
While I usually share those winners with you in this space, a big part of making money over the long haul is avoiding losers whenever possible.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at 2015′s three worst tech stocks.
