Buy Fannie and Freddie Debt Now at Record Yield Spreads
The U.S. banking system is in hot water. According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), a total of nine banks have failed this year. Five folded in July alone.
To stabilize the situation, the U.S. government is poised to bail out Freddie Mac (NYSE:FRE) and Fannie Mae (NYSE:FNM). This opens up a great opportunity for investor, says Eric Roseman in The Sovereign Society.
He is buying Fannie and Freddie short-term and intermediate-term debt up to a maximum of five years. Yields are at historic highs and the government won’t allow these institutions to fail.
Buy Corporate Bonds Now at Multi-Year Highs
Sovereign Society’s investment director Eric Roseman says he would rather hold investment-grade corporate debt than Treasury bonds. The yield in the corporate debt market is at a multi-year high and can be easily accessed via low-cost ETFs. But Eric says it is wise to avoid financial firms, as more trouble lies in store for this sector.
Is the U.S. Government Stopping Gold Coin Sales?
Last Thursday, we reported that high demand prompted the U.S. Mint to stop selling popular one-ounce 22-karat American Eagle bullion coins to dealers as they scramble to build the inventory back up.
Launched in 1986, the American eagle bullion program is a popular way for investors to buy gold and silver coins.
Eric Roseman in The Sovereign Society says collecting and investing in bullion has morphed into an outright bonanza for coin dealers this decade. Now, many gold bugs say the U.S. government is behind Mint’s decision to stop selling Eagle bullion coins.

Crude’s Correction Is Best Entry Point for Investors in 3 Years
The bear market in commodities may last for six to nine months before prices rebound in 2Q of next year, according to a report by Bloomberg.
The report is just the latest in a series of Big Media stories on the death of the six-year commodities bull run, aka “the commodities bubble.”
Eric Roseman in The Sovereign Society says the mainstream press have got it wrong on commodities. What we are seeing is a correction in prices, not a trend reversal. And it’s creating the best entry point for new investors in more than three years.
Undeniably Bullish Indictors for Common US Stocks
As we’ve said here before, the US stock markets are extremely volatile right now.
Yesterday, US stocks, led by the financials, snapped back following two straight days of losses. Traders, it seems, are a confused bunch. They’re caught between declining crude oil prices and slowing global growth.
Eric Roseman in The Sovereign Society, however, says stocks are about to muster a bear market bottom this summer. And the indicators are now bullish for common stocks. Here’s how he can tell…
Credit Markets Signal It’s Not Time to Buy Stocks Yet
Yesterday, Joel Bowman in The Rude Awakening said this about the Dow: “The world’s largest market is acting like a big baby, stomping its feet and lashing out in a wild flurry of volatile daily mood swings.
“[Tuesday’s] melee produced another triple-digit swing for the Dow Jones Industrial Average; the eighth time the feisty index has jerked 100 points or more over the last twelve trading days.”
The average moving day average for the Dow so far this month is about 175 points. So how do investors know when to buy back in? The answer is simple, says Eric Roseman in The Sovereign Society, look to the credit markets…
A Massive Rally Lies Ahead for Distressed Gold Stocks
Gold managed to stop the bleeding yesterday.
Gold futures gained $17 an ounce, ending an eight-session losing streak. The yellow metal closed at $831.50 an ounce on the Nymex.
A major correction in gold prices is coming, says Eric Roseman in The Sovereign Society. A resurgent dollar, eurozone weakness and lower crude oil prices are exerting serious downward pressure on gold prices. But don’t give up yet. Eric says a massive rally lies ahead for gold stocks. US fundamentals simply don’t support a long-term dollar rally…
Credit Market Says: Don’t Buy Stocks Yet !, Part I
Since July 15 when U.S. markets hit another intermittent low amid the ongoing credit crisis, the Dow Jones Industrials Average (Dow) has gained 7.2%.
Does Insider Share Grab Make Merrill a Buy?
Talk about placing big bets.
Eric Roseman in The Sovereign Society has picked up on a report by Barron’s that four Merrill Lynch (NYSE:MER) executives bought total of $17.7 million worth of shares in the brokerage. They all bought in on July 29 at US$22.50 during Merrill’s latest stock offering.
Is this a signal that Merrill is a buy? Only time will tell, says Eric. But right now, investors need all the help they can get, and following insider trades like this one can often lead to big wins. More from Eric…
