M & A: Resource Style

Jul 29th, 2009 | By Russell McDougal | Category: Gold Market

I’m no math wizard but I know enough to not buy state sponsored lottery tickets. Your odds are much better when you buy your tickets via the natural resource sector where you can stack the deck in your favor and make life changing money.



You Say You Want a Revolution?

Jul 22nd, 2009 | By Russell McDougal | Category: Politics & Economics

Americans should have been in the streets to reclaim the country long ago. Patrick Henry and his fellow patriots are turning over in their graves about the present day USA. The savvy folks I talk to on a regular basis are exceedingly pessimistic that our blessed republic can pull out of this present financial, economic and political tailspin. The US as we have known it is on the ropes.

Neither You or the Economy Can Survive Without Earnings

Jul 1st, 2009 | By Russell McDougal | Category: Featured, Stock Market Investing

We recently had an IDE editorial meeting in Delray Beach. I got a sound reminder of the diversified talents represented by your IDE editors at this get together. There was clearly an air of excitement and anticipation regarding ways to navigate the present economic and financial mess.



The Silver Market: Some Call it CRIMEX

Jun 24th, 2009 | By Russell McDougal | Category: Stock Market Investing

The silver market is showing signs of bullish strain and an incredible opportunity is being presented to you. I’m a staunch silver advocate and it’s time for an update right now. Silver stands to outperform gold as the long term precious metal bull market continues to unfold.The price of silver, along with gold, is kept under wraps by officials of the New York COMEX market, aka CRIMEX. The old boy network which runs CRIMEX have whipsawed the market in their desired direction for decades and profited accordingly. These actions are government sanctioned because precious metals are competition to un-backed fiat money. State mandated fiat is so weak and poorly designed that it cannot stand competitors.



You Can Buy Gold at a Discount

Jun 10th, 2009 | By Russell McDougal | Category: Gold Market

Yes, gold is on sale. You don’t have to pay $950 plus a premium to buy an ounce of gold. You can buy gold in the ground for a fraction of its normal price. The same holds true for many other essential natural commodities like silver, oil, uranium or copper.This opportunity has been brought your way by the same thugs that imploded global stock markets in 2008 via an historic combination of fraud and greed. Yep, they did a number on the commodity market as well as the associated stocks were decimated across the board. Select resource stocks are now outperforming.



A National “Stress Test”

May 22nd, 2009 | By Russell McDougal | Category: Politics & Economics

By now, you have surely heard that our elitist banks passed their recent government sponsored “stress test”? Forget about it! Relying on this incestuous bunch to grade themselves is like putting Madonna in charge of screening convent applicants. Take no comfort in shams of this nature.



Why is the Fed Bailing Out Foreigners?

Apr 20th, 2009 | By Russell McDougal | Category: Politics & Economics

You may have noticed that most of my articles are pretty in depth and lengthy. A fellow IDE editor recently pointed that out and issued a challenge … “I bet you ten bucks you can’t write a one page essay.”



The Fed’s March (to) Madness

Mar 30th, 2009 | By Russell McDougal | Category: Financial News

The Fed pulled out its “nuclear” option last week when it announced coming purchases of $300 billion in long term Treasuries (and other similar extravaganzas). This is an act of total desperation.
