Here we are on a Saturday evening. Hanukkah is over and Christmas is just a few short days away. The retailers are hoping we all still have money to spend…and so are our children. Down here in the south, the kids are all off for the next two weeks, and of course, the adults are jealous. Wouldn’t it be nice to have that schedule again? Maybe I should have been a teacher.

The Safe Money Report is a monthly newsletter that provides independent research and includes ideas in when to take profits and protect your principal. The latest, “Washington Sowing the Seeds of Bond Market Crash,” is calling for our next big problem in the markets. According to Martin Weiss, “investors are more exposed to a bond market crash than at virtually any time in recorded history.” While this sounds like a “Sky is Falling” type prophecy, Weiss has some very valid arguments. It is worth your time and energy to at least read the piece and decide for yourself.

Next we have John Bollinger’s Capital Growth Letter. The most recent edition focuses on volatility and how you could potentially use it to your advantage. Also check out the updates on all of the markets and his outlook for the near future, and as always, take a peak at the model portfolio and see if you stack up.

“Confidence is Staging a Comeback” at the Fidelity Sector Investor. Jim Lowell shares his opinion on global confidence and how it has stayed positive despite Dubai, Bernanke and the expanding U.S. government. You also get updates on the FSI portfolios, and there are many of them to choose from.
