The Next One-Two Punch Coming in the Oil Markets
Let’s talk about oil and gas. Right now, you’ll be hard pressed to find a bigger influence on the stock market’s movements than energy prices.

Why You Can’t Trust This Market
U.S. stocks rallied on Friday. The Dow rose 1.7% to 11628.06. The broader S&P’s 500 climbed 1.1% to close at 1292.20. The Nasdaq closed 1.4% higher at 2414.71.

So were rumors of their death really exaggerated? David Newman thinks not. Forget them, they’re as good as done.
How should you protect your investments? First off, don’t listen to Ben Bernanke or Hank Paulson – when their lips move they’re lying. Secondly, don’t listen to the talking heads on TV. Finally, diversify. If all your investments are in stocks and bonds, get a few fingers in the precious metals ‘pie’ too.
