- U.S. Dollar Denominated Bonds - 10 Reasons You Shouldn't Own Them
[Investing] Many people think of any type of dollar denominated bonds, whether they are U.S. corporate bonds or U.S. Treasury bonds as the safest place to invest money for reliable sources of income stream.

- The Dollar Crisis Will Soon Trigger a Global Investment Crisis, Part I
[Investing] The coming dollar crisis, like the dot com crisis of March 2000, the Asian Currency Crisis in 1997, and the U.S. Great Depression of 1929, will catch the overwhelming number of investors off guard and unprepared as it destroys wealth worldwide.

- What's the Greatest Risk to Your Portfolio During Bad Markets?
[Investing] Surprise! It's probably your adviser. Common sense says you play the odds and red flags exist everywhere that the U.S. economy is in serious trouble. Then why is your adviser recommending that you stay fully invested in the markets because a recovery is on the way? If the Feds slash continue to interest rates, those actions may have already reached a point of diminishing positive returns. Raising interest rates of course would be painful. So no matter what the Feds decide to do, their options are disastrous.
- Global Warming - It's Real and It's Creating Opportunities to Build Wealth

Global militaries realize this as well and you can find such instruction in many military manuals.

- Blue Ocean Investment Strategies - 10 Reasons Why Everyone Should Utilize the Long Tail of Investing
[Investing] Almost no one speaks of the longtail of investing. To me, longtail investment strategies are the strategies that do not heavily rely on fundamental or technical analysis, but exploit other strongly predictive factors to produce not only superior returns to traditional investment strategies but also investment opportunities with far better risk-reward paradigms than those produced by traditional investment strategies. Here are 10 reasons why the longtail of investing is the only way to build wealth.
- Stock Portfolio Returns - A Discussion of Their True Determinants
[Investing] Almost every single person that has ever been managed by a large global investment firm has seen the chart of "Determinants of Portfolio Performance" where 92% of portfolio returns are attributed to asset allocation alone. However the TRUE determinants of portfolio performance are (1) Specific stock selection; (2) Specific global market selection; and (3) Proper market timing, NOT asset allocation. Firms would like you to believe that asset allocation can determine 92% of returns, because such a belief helps them gather more assets.
- 7 Reasons Why Depending Upon Investment Newsletters Won't Make You Wealthy
[Finance:Wealth-Building] Despite the fact that I advocate learning how to invest yourself as the absolute, hands-down best way to manage your money, I also know that the overwhelming majority of investors constantly seek out get rich quick schemes and whatever shortcut they can find in order to get rich. In fact, I’ve often fielded ridiculous questions like "What’s the best way to double my money in a month?" The large number of investment newsletters realize that people are thirsty for get rich quick schemes, and now that there are always a fraction or people naive enough to buy into them as long as the copy is convincing enough, so that's what they sell – dreams of getting reach with very little effort.
- Build Wealth - Is Your Stock Portfolio Adequately Prepared for 2007?
[Investing:Stocks] This past month, I saw a professional newsletter that stated that there was almost nothing good to buy right now. That most major markets including leading emerging markets in China and India were overbought and that a buying opportunity would not present itself until there were major corrections. Though I mostly agree with that statement as it pertains to traditional stocks, this comment reflects how narrowly focused the overwhelming majority of self-proclaimed investment "gurus" out there tend to be. One asset class that corrected steeply at the end of 2006 and beginning of 2007 was gold stocks.
- How You Can Still Beat the Institutional Money to One of the Best Plays in the Stock Market for 2007
[Investing] If you look at the price for Newmont mining (NEM) as of February, it illustrates that large institutional money is still not on board with gold yet. For this reason, Newmont would still be a solid anchor for your gold portfolio.
- Is It Time to Invest in REITs in Japan and China?
[Real-Estate:Buying] When an asset class has been downtrodden for a long period of time, I tend to look at it and assess whether conditions have changed that now favor an awakening from long periods of hibernation. Japanese REITs, or J-REITs as they are better known, may just be one of those opportunities, specifically apartment/residential REITs in Tokyo. On the flip side are REITs that are emerging and poised for rapid growth. Hotel and resort REITs in Shanghai and Beijing fit this bill.
