China’s Red Dragon Turns Financial Crisis into Opportunity
The Chinese word for crisisis weiji.Â
But get this – when translated literally, wei means danger and ji means opportunity. So to the Chinese, a crisis – or danger – represents an opportunity.Â
Of course, you don’t have to actually speak Chinese to understand what this mindset means for investors.
What you’re seeing in China today is nothing less than the classic definition of a crisis presenting the profit opportunity of a lifetime.
While investors in U.S. markets are mostly concerned about saving their necks, China has been stacking the deck in favor of those who have the guts to pull the trigger on the most undervalued…

Oil’s Big Run Up and Let Down
On the energy front, we’ve seen several days of declining prices. Oil has led the way, falling from about $146 to $112. Coal and natural gas sold down, as well, as did many energy companies and service firms.
So we’ve seen quite a tumble, led by declining oil. But then again, oil had quite a run-up. I’ve said before that oil was climbing too far, too fast. And over the past few weeks, oil tested the $150 mark. But like Gen. Pickett at Gettysburg, this charge to $150 failed.
What seems pretty clear is that at…

Can We Make Coal Clean?
Yes, coal prices have continued to rise across the globe. But of course, this pales in comparison to the continued run-up in petroleum, which has virtually paralyzed the wallets of many oil-reliant Americans.
The idea of a coal shortage is virtually unthinkable. We have roughly 275 billion tons of recoverable coal, enough for us to burn for the next two and a half centuries if we needed it. So while the next generation might not have the oil to run their cars and trucks, the lights at the house will stay on thanks to coal power.
If this…

Coal Keeps the Lights on in America — Can We Make It Cleaner?
By a wide margin, the United States has the largest coal reserves on the planet. The coal supplies in the U.S. account for 95% of its fossil fuel reserves and a whopping 60% of the fuel reserves in the world, according to the American Coal Foundation.

Q: “Please comment on Suntech Power Holdings. Comparing STP with KHD Humboldt Wedag, which is the better investment at this time?â€
Suntech Power Holdings (STP: NYSE) has taken us on a wild ride since we added it in January 2007. Its stock price more than doubled toward the end of 2007. Then the stock dropped steeply with the market meltdown in early 2008. The stock is up about 15% overall in the past 16 months or so.
Long term, I think that Suntech is a good investment with great potential. The world is building out its solar infrastructures, especially in Asia,…
