Posted on by admin

Did you miss out on China's unprecedented growth?

In the past decade and a half, China has sailed past Germany, France, Great Britain and Japan before settling in as the world's second-largest economy behind the United States.

If you missed out on that growth, were you put off from investing while many experts dithered about the reliability of official Chinese government data?

It would have been nearly impossible for an individual investor to get in on China in 1998. The Xinhua China 25 Index (NYSE: FXI) made its debut in 2004 as the first Chinese exchange-traded fund (ETF), but it has had considerable downsides, including its fees and a high concentration in the financial space.

The Results Are (Almost) In for Rare Earth Competitors

The Metals Report: Alex, what is your overview of the rare earth element (REE) space?

Alex Knox: The highlight is that two large deposits of light rare earth elements (LREEs) are coming into production: Molycorp Inc.'s (MCP:NYSE) Mountain Pass and Lynas Corp.'s (LYC:ASX) Mt. Weld deposit. The considerable increase in LREE production has eliminated the need for any market niche for these types of deposits, at least for the short-term.

I see a dramatic need for development of heavy rare earth element (HREE) deposits in the western world, now that China's crackdown on illegal mining has presumably cut into its production of HREEs. A number of companies have reached pre-feasibility or preliminary economic assessment (PEA), and one already has a feasibility study. Overall, I believe this space offers the most potential growth and the most potential to add new deposits.

Posted on by admin

By Elliott Wave International

Three steps may sound simple enough. Yet if you have any experience trading, you know that nothing about trading is easy. Education is imperative. So is preparation.

Senior Analyst Jeffrey Kennedy knows that it takes skill, discipline and courage to execute a successful trade. His new book, Visual Guide to Elliott Wave Trading (coauthored with Wayne Gorman), picks up where Frost and Prechter's classic textbook Elliott Wave Principle leaves off: It gives you the perfect blend of traditional textbook analysis and real-world application.

According to Kennedy, there are three key components of a successful trade: Continue reading "The 3 Essential Parts of an Elliott Wave Trade - Part 2" →

Goldman's profit doubles, but questions loom

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) said Tuesday that its second-quarter profit doubled and revenue jumped 30 percent, helped by gains in stock and bond underwriting and the bank's own investments. But the hot topic for analysts who follow the bank was a set of impending capital rules and how they might affect the powerful New York investment bank.

Goldman's stock rose in pre-market trading after the bank released its earnings results with rosy headline numbers. But the stock dipped moments after the market opened, just as Chief Financial Officer Harvey Schwartz faced a barrage of questions about the capital rules and other hard-to-predict factors that could affect the bank's future earnings, including how clients might react to rising interest rates.
