Top 5 Global Mutual Funds - Best of Funds

A portfolio consisting of both domestic and foreign stocks provides superior returns at comparatively lower risk compared to one which only holds domestic equities. Additionally, the primacy of US stock markets has declined steadily over time. This is why investors cannot continue to restrict themselves to investing in domestic securities alone. Global mutual funds are the best possible method to invest in this particular manner because they hold a wide variety of domestic and foreign securities, significantly lowering the associated risk.

Mining for Top Gold and Silver Stocks - Investment Ideas

On April 1st, I wrote an article for TheStreet.com titled "Fool’s Gold," where I reiterated a favorite argument and trade idea from the past year about taking short positions, or selling calls, on the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) as its momentum slowed vs. gold itself.

(Video) The Personality of Stock Market Waves

Elliott waves don't merely reflect prices plotted over time. Each wave has its own "personality." Listen to this video by EWI's Wayne Gorman to learn more about the psychology behind the waves and how it affects your investment decisions.

Riots in Greece and European Bailouts - A Powerful Portrait

Greek individuals are fundamentally no different today than they were in 2007, and neither is the Greek economy. What is different is Greece's stock market, which means that, in the aggregate, society's mood is the polar opposite of four years ago.

When Is The Trend No Longer Your Friend? Elliott Wave Analysis Can Help

Stock markets, for instance, are often like Volvos: purring along with smooth, steady dependability. Commodities are like Vipers: peeling rubber from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds and curve-hugging along the way. But when you put the Wave Principle "behind the wheel" of stocks, commodities or any other liquid, freely-traded financial market, it surpasses other traditional forms of technical analysis.

Think Lower Trade Deficit Is Bullish For the Stock Market? Now See This Chart

Before you join the crowd in thinking that shrinking trade gap is bullish for stocks, read this excerpt from the 2011 edition of our popular free Club EWI resource, The Independent Investor eBook.

Will the Stock Market Make President Obama a One-Termer?

Can the stock market predict who wins the White House? Or, put another way, can the market predict who will not win the land's highest office? The link between markets and politics isn't obvious to most people. But once you see it for what it is, it's the first thing you look for...

Dividend Yields: A Major Sign of the Long-Term Trend in Stocks

The only time that fundamental analysis of financial markets doesn't make sense is those parts of the week that end in "day." Take, for instance, the slew of news items below discussing the recent price action in the world's leading stock index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average.  

Putting a Miserable May Behind: Is the Stock Market Bull Set to Return?

Last month, the US stock market suffered four straight weeks of decline for the worst May since August 2010. But now that that miserable run is behind investors, they are taking a page from the playbook of Don Henley's hit song "Boys of Summer." It goes "Don't look back, you can never look back."  

You Ask: What's Next for Greece, Ireland and Portugal?

As the European Union prepares its second aid package for Greece, analysts argue over which country will be next. Yet not one among them looks for answers from the one source that truly matters: the stock market itself. Why the stock market, you ask?

The Best Stock Idea - Investment Ideas

It doesn't happen as much as it used to: the stock-talk at cocktail parties, friends looking for investment ideas or your cousin-in-law cornering you at weddings for stock picks because you're "in the market". But occasionally it still comes up. Even though I consider myself an intelligent investor, I always find it odd when people ask others for stock ideas. People seem more willing to trade a stock based on the recommendation of others than to take the time to conduct their own research.

How to Invest in a Flat Market - Investment Ideas

Here we are in October 2011 and the S&P 500 is hovering around 1220, about the same level it was back in December 1998. The stock market has rallied and crashed a couple of times since then only to wind up back at the same place it was when gas was $1.06 a gallon, the federal budget was balanced and Saving Private Ryan was in theaters.

Economy Down, Pawn Stocks Up - Investment Ideas

Anyone searching for a counter cyclical stock that benefits from high unemployment and a weak credit market needs to start looking at pawn and payday lenders. I'm sure images of toothless criminals, shady back-alley deals and missing gold chains come to more than a few minds. But a closer look at the group reveals a very legitimate industry that has seen big gains over the last two years in the weak consumer environment.

Top 5 Aggressive Growth Mutual Funds - Best of Funds

Aggressive growth funds are a natural choice for investors to harness the impetus surging markets provide to stock prices. Such mutual funds normally create portfolios consisting of volatile securities, low priced stocks and IPOs, whose value would rise appreciably during such upswings. Fund managers primarily select companies which have an impressive track record growth performance and the ability to return substantial profits in the future. Investors with the propensity of choosing capital growth over dividends would do well to consider aggressive growth mutual funds.

4 Stocks Yielding More Than 4% - Investment Ideas

When most people think of generating returns from the stock market, they think of only one thing: capital appreciation.

Screening for Price Potential - Investment Ideas

In this volatile market it makes sense to pay attention to stock values. Where are they today, and where are they anticipated to be? We can find out these answers to determine value by looking at the current stock price and the estimated price targets.

Value is the Best Defense - Investment Ideas

When the stock market began to tumble in late July, many investors swiftly gave up on equities and ran to the relative safety of U.S. Treasuries. But the paltry 2.1% yield on the 10-year T-note doesn't provide much comfort.

3 Stocks Defying Volatility - Investment Ideas

While stocks with betas near zero, by definition, miss out on some upside when the market rises, but they avoid the dramatic dips that hit most others. Beta is calculated by comparing percentage changes in a company’s stock compared to the percentage changes in the market for a given period of time.

Top 5 Aggressive Growth Mutual Funds - Best of Funds

Investors looking to make the most of positive market conditions would do well to consider aggressive growth funds. These funds invest heavily in underpriced stocks, IPOs and volatile securities in order to reap maximum benefits when markets are surging. Securities are selected on the basis of their issuing company’s potential for growth and profitability. By holding a larger number of securities and constantly adjusting portfolios, aggressive growth funds offer a less risky route to investing in these instruments
