Art Investing: The Inflation Hedge Nobody’s Talking About
On Friday, my colleague and friend David Fessler provided you with four inflation hedges to consider.
Without question, I agree with all of Dave’s recommendations.
I just want to add one more inflation hedge to the mix. It’s an under-the-radar one that nobody’s talking about. But they should be.
So let me tell you what it is – art investing. But let me stress why it’s imperative you spread the love around and consider investing in all five inflation hedges, not just one.
“Inflation is coming, inflation is coming.”
The world knows it. Even the guys at the switch – the Fed – can’t deny it.

4Jun2009 | Investment U | 0 comments | ContinuedInflation Causing The Price of Gold to Rise
I have written a number of times in the last few months that gold and mining shares look attractive. While the metal had a big run-up in price during the three-month stretch that ended in late February, the yellow metal has subsequently dropped back a bit, as have the prices of the leading mining shares. If anything, however, the reasons for gold bullishness have intensified.
The U.S. Federal Reserve had been expanding the money supply more rapidly than output for more than a decade, since a policy change in early 1995. That’s why the U.S. economy underwent a series of bubbles,…

“Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon” to paraphrase Milton Friedman. The government can and will print enough money to instigate an inflation.

Inflation or Idiot
My patience for utter stupidity and incompetency is growing slimmer with each passing day. I’ve gotten extremely sour and impatient with the morons that love to hear their own voices and have others think of them as capable of independent thought. The problem is that I’m completely surrounded by it. It doesn’t matter if it’s local media, main stream financial media, a friend of the family, or the janitor at work.
For those who do like to discuss these things with me, or while I’m within earshot, they’ve probably noticed my disdain by the tones of my voice or simply my…

While The DJIA Hits Key Resistance
Last week we discussed the prospect of rising job losses and last week’s November payroll report confirmed the phenomenon. The consensus amongst economists was that there would be 350,000 jobs lost. They were wrong, though: The actual number was a lot closer to 550,000 instead.
Even though the Dow continued to rally into this depressing news, a daily chart tells us that a veritable moment of truth has arrived:
The DJIA has tried and failed to clear its 50 day moving average. The 9000 level has proved to be serious resistance previously, and now that ominous blue…

I punched a good friend of mine yesterday.
In the face.
Well, let me rephrase that – I almost punched him in the face. Being the adventurous type, one evening this close friend (who we’ll call Hank – the name choice not entirely an accident), made a meager attempt to control his own finances by putting me under strict instruction to clock him square in the face should he attempt to spend more than a given dollar amount at an entertainment venue. Hundreds of dollars over his “limit”, I shamefully admit that I did not have the fortitude to slug my friend…

This article is another in my series of articles about common mistakes that the average individual investor makes in their overall portfolio allocation. For these articles, I drew from the 20 years of experience I had at Charles Schwab in dealing with clients face-to-face and helping them meet their financial goals.
In previous articles, I wrote about two areas which were dramatically under-represented in most clients portfolios – commodities and international securities. There is a third area which I found to also be under-represented and that is fixed income investments. Many clients had little or no exposure to fixed income investments.
The most…

“History is a guide to navigation in perilous times. History is who we are and why we are the way we are.” – David Mccullough, Historian and Author
You won’t see him on TV or writing an editorial piece for a major newspaper. Most retail investors have never heard of him, but he has one of the best long-term track records of any investment manager in the world.
His investment style is based completely on history. He lives and breathes the “It’s never different this time” ideology that’s necessary for success as a long-term investor.
Even to the detriment of his own firm and career,…

Source: The Energy Report
As difficult as it may be for precious metals investors to sit on their hands, that may be the best “action” for surviving this hazardous transition from deflationary to inflationary times. In this exclusive interview, Gold Newsletter Editor Brien Lundin explains why it is absolutely inevitable that inflation will trigger a rise in gold and hints that a December “surprise” could end the waiting game. He also believes uranium’s long-term story remains bullish, but it’s not going to develop as quickly as everyone had hoped during the ‘urani-mania’ a couple of years ago. While his advice is…
14Nov2008 | The Energy Report | Comments Off | ContinuedSystemic Inflation Running Rampart
Today (Monday) marked what will become a very typical day in financial markets. The U.S. dollar, Oil, Gold, and stock markets were all up. Denmark joined the bailout game with their $13.4 billion capital infusion in the banking and insurance company Ing. Meanwhile, more U.S. regulators are getting the public juiced up for the next stimulus package.
After the greatest period of nominal deflation in our nation’s history, asset prices are at or nearing bottoms. The halting of this deflationary period is 100% government intervention. Let’s not forget that if the deflation was allowed to run it’s course, it would have…
