It May Take a Dragon to Breathe Fire Into Markets

Frank Holmes — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:59:47 +0000

At the Cambridge House’s Vancouver Resource Investment Conference this week, I am part of a special debate on whether China will boom or bust with bestselling author Gordon G. Chang. The title of Chang’s book, The Coming Collapse of China, states his position quite clearly and I look forward to the intellectual challenge of convincing [...]

$100 – The New Floor for Crude Oil

Chris Mayer — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:43:18 +0000

In the midst of the news about the EU crisis, it’s worth pointing out that oil prices have quietly crept back over $100 a barrel. West Texas Intermediate is $102 as I write. Brent crude, which many argue is the more important figure, is $111. This is remarkable given how weak the global economic recovery [...]

Water – Still Blue Gold

Chris Mayer — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 21:00:37 +0000

I was in Bangkok while the floods were raging. I also visited Cambodia. The floods were in the news there as well. Though it did not affect Phnom Penh, where I was, the remote villages were dealing with a lot of water. That’s the curious thing about water. There always seems to be either too [...]

“I just want to stop and make sure we’re not on fire,” Brad said as we pulled over. My friend Brad Farquhar is the co-founder and vice president of Assiniboia Capital, which invests in farmland. We had just driven through a canola farm some 50 miles outside of Regina, Saskatchewan. And apparently, the canola crop [...]

Reinventing the Wheel for Greater Energy Efficiency

Thu, 22 Sep 2011 21:30:59 +0000

With fuel prices edging ever higher, engineers are scrambling to find new ways to improve the energy efficiency of vehicles. We’ve already seen a few attempts on the market. Hybrid automobiles — vehicles that combine electrical and internal-combustion powertrains — are becoming commonplace. Pure electric vehicles, such as those in development by Tesla Motors, are [...]

Awaiting the Eventual Return of the Rare Earths Market

Mon, 19 Sep 2011 21:47:57 +0000

China is putting the squeeze on rare earths…again. And unless you have a large stash of light bulbs around the house, you’re going to feel this one personally. “China is temporarily shutting down most of the industry,” reports The New York Times — closing or nationalizing dozens of rare earth producers. Considering China already accounts [...]

Looking at Uranium…Again

Thu, 15 Sep 2011 20:24:45 +0000

Uranium is still a “Buy”…maybe now more than ever. The disaster in Japan slammed the uranium sector…and it still has not recovered. But this washout looks like a buying opportunity, as long as you’re not in a hurry to make a big gain. I won’t go into the Japan-specific details, but for our purposes, it’s [...]

Who says there’s no such thing as time travel? It’s starting to feel like the fall of 2008 all over again. Indeed, the demons of 2008 are like those characters you see in the Halloween horror movies. You can kill and bury the monsters, but a few scenes later, they reappear. So what’s happening? Is [...]

There Is No Recovery… It’s All Been Just More Debt

Wed, 10 Aug 2011 15:17:28 +0000

There’s plenty for DR readers to disagree with in this newly-released video from the Post Carbon Institute which examines whether or not we’ve entered a “new economic reality.” It’s especially timely given current swings in financial markets… including this morning’s 400-point free fall in the Dow (so far)… and the ongoing correction in the economy.

Run, Ride or Buy? What Should Investors Do? Don’t Sell on Mondays!

Tue, 09 Aug 2011 21:00:22 +0000

There’s an old contrarian investing maxim from Baron Rothschild that says “the time to buy is when there’s blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own.” The idea is that the best investors strategize when others panic, allowing them to buy stocks on “sale.” The legend of Warren Buffett was built on [...]
