Watch Out For the “C” Word

When the product is right, you don’t have to be a great marketer. – Lee Iacocca

Far too many executives have become more concerned with the ''four P's'' -- pay, perks, power and prestige -- rather than making profits for shareholders. – T. Boone Pickens

Are your hands up? Can you feel the wind in your hair? The stock market roller coaster just took us down the biggest two-day hill since last June. If this were Space Mountain, we’ all be having the time of our lives, wouldn’t we??? It’s amazing how the pendulum swings. Two days ago, all the financial channels and websites were talking about how the market was ready to run if the MA. Election went to the Republicans. Now the big word of the day is “correction.” Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody care (Yes, it’s a Chicago Transit Authority reference.

While this blog has covered Roger Williams before, this is the first time we are covering the ETF Global Investor. This is a weekly newsletter that uses a mathematically driven selection and timing system to generate trading ideas for both domestic and international ETFs. The latest release offers a model of 10 ETFs covering everything from health care and materials to Russia and Brazil. Keep an eye on this to either use the model or just find a good ETF to supplement your current portfolio.

Like Williams, we have seen Ned W. Schmidt before, but not in association with the Value View Gold Report. This monthly piece follows gold from a global viewpoint. It also provides market commentary and trading strategies for gold and also many currencies. Currently, Schmidt feels that “Gold May Be the Only Defense for Wealth.” With the current administration further blundering the immense pile of slop that the former administration left for an economy, gold may be one of the few things to weather this storm. For more, take a look at what Schmidt has to say.

Have these last few days been a sign of what is to come or were they opportunities for investors to buy stock on dips that they felt were getting a little rich? Time will tell. What we know for sure is that the financials are still getting hammered and the Berskhire Hathaway split just gave some regular investors the opportunity to rub shoulders with the big man himself, Warren Buffett.
