Investing in Gold

Gold has climbed to a seven-week high bolstered by a weaker dollar and continuing expectations the Fed won’t hike interest rates in 2015.

The New Economy: Humans Need Not Apply

What effects does advanced technology and automation have on society and the economy? The new economy is “survival of the fittest” on steroids, and this evolution is accelerating at an unprecedented pace.

Recent advances in technology have already pushed us past the Rubicon. As we integrate this new tech, we’re going to eliminate multiple categories of jobs. Winter is coming, and it can’t be stopped.

Summary:

  • The US Navy is constructing a giant solar farm in Arizona to power its bases in California. This is a push by the DOD to decrease its carbon footprint.
  • While this facility is being constructed by Sempra Energy, there is no guarantee that other facilities will be. Thus, silver could be a good way to play this development.

By ,

Even though the discussion in the U.S. continues to revolve around the timing of the Fed’s next rate, which could still move the price of the iShares Silver Trust (NYSEARCA:SLV), the physical silver continues to tighten on account of rising demand. But does a deficit in the physical silver market push higher the price of SLV? Also, will the high gold-to-silver ratio – currently at 77 – suggest that silver is undervalued relative to gold and may suggest a buying opportunity?

Summary

  • Stocks are so overrated.
  • Stocks have their meaningful place in a long-term investment strategy.
  • But so too do many other investment alternatives.

Stocks are so overrated. Don’t get me wrong – I love the stock market. The opportunity to conduct fundamental analysis on publicly-traded corporations to identify potential ownership in high-quality businesses trading at attractive valuations is the reason why I decided to pursue a career in the investment industry so many years ago.
