GOOGLE TO OPEN RETAIL STORES?
According to reports today, Google is planning on opening retail stores in time for this coming holiday season. Google feels it's necessary to open stores to showcase their technology, Google Glass. Google Glass is wearable technology and it will act much the same way as a smart watch, which Apple is apparently working on right now.

Taking a cue out of the Apple playbook, Google feels it's necessary to have retail stores so regular people, not just super techies, can try on their invention and see how it works. Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: Google trades over $800 and the market sinks Carnival Cruise Lines"

Weekly Gold Report (February 18th through February 22nd)

Last week definitely had a “hurry up and wait” sort of feel to it. With China on a week-long break for the Lunar New Year Holiday, there was potential for light volume action across the board. And despite the fact that it has been a long time since a G20 Summit has caused any waves, traders were holding their breath and waiting on news that might have a significant impact on Currencies. The market sprinkled in a few reports in the US and in Europe, but nothing really stuck for a directional move. Continue reading "Gold Chart of The Week"

High Yield Dividend Stocks: What Every Investor Should Look For

It can be mighty hard to earn any interest at all in today’s banking environment. Many in­vestors are looking to riskier investments to find the kind of returns they once got from an FDIC-insured CD or even a savings account.

But don’t despair. There are still a few decent ways to make your cash earn some income without putting it at too great a risk.

My wife takes care of our filing, and during one of her filing sprees some time ago she walked into my office with the brokerage statement for her IRA and asked me why the interest was less than $1. “Interest rates have gone down that much,” I said.

CARL ICHAN VS BILL ACKMAN, NOW IT'S PERSONAL
One of the biggest mistakes you can make in trading is getting personal with the market. That is why it's amazing to me to see Carl Ichan and Bill Ackman act like two school kids with this very public fight over HERBALIFE. The one-on-one animosity and hatred they have for each other is now in the public arena. Basically, they both want to win on HERBALIFE and the reality is it's going to cost one of their hedge fund clients a lot of money. After the close in after hours trading, Carl Ichan announced that he had purchased 14 million shares, effectively giving him a 12.98 percent stake in HERBALIFE.
