Warning: Uncle Sam Can't Afford A Strong Economy

By the time the U.S. budget deficit reached $1.4 trillion in fiscal (October) 2009, alarm bells were sounding everywhere. Unless the government could get its fiscal house in order, the future promised years of misery as the U.S. kowtowed to its bondholders in China, Japan and elsewhere.

But this crisis simply never came to pass. Thanks to a range of factors for which both political parties can take some credit, the budget gap has already narrowed sharply. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the budget deficit will fall even further in fiscal 2014 and 2015. Continue reading "Warning: Uncle Sam Can't Afford A Strong Economy"

Miners Must Mind Their Margins

The Gold Report: Since you last spoke to The Gold Report in March, the price of gold has collapsed. What happened?

Rob Cohen: Gold has collapsed when compared to the U.S. dollar, but not when compared to other hard assets. For instance, since gold was allowed to float in 1971, its average price ratio per ounce to the price of a barrel of oil has been 15:1. Right now, it's about 13:1, so it's not that far from the mean. We remain a little puzzled by what has happened. Going back to 2008, there's been a strong correlation between the expanding balance sheet of the Federal Reserve and the rising price of gold, but that link has been cut, at least for now.

We have also had some positive economic data out of the U.S.

TGR: Is this positive data really all that positive? Continue reading "Miners Must Mind Their Margins"

Fracking, Uranium and Solar, Oh My!

Oil Gas: Enhanced Recovery

Nothing catches the market's attention like cushy profit margins. Technologies that enable oil producers to drill more for less money were a notable theme for the experts featured in The Energy Report in 2013.

As Jim Letourneau commented, "Reducing drilling time by 2040% is an easy sell, and the enhanced oil recovery business has a huge market in the field." Continue reading "Fracking, Uranium and Solar, Oh My!"

Profit From This 'Secret' Apparel Stock

By: David Goodboy of Street Authority

Popular apparel brands like Andrew Marc, Wilson Leather, Cole Haan, Levi's, Nine West, Sean John, Calvin Klein and even Tommy Hilfiger all have a secret. If this secret was widely known, it might change many consumers' perceptions of their favorite clothing brand. Years of expensive and highly effective marketing have differentiated each brand into a specific demographic, price range and even perceived quality.

​One of the more extreme examples of brand marketing differentiation is the high-end swimsuit brand Vilebrequin. These swimsuits start at around $200 and go to over $8,000 for a pair of swim trunks embroidered with 24-karat gold thread. Marketed to the international jet-setters who party in Ibiza or Saint-Tropez, Vilebrequin swim trunks are truly high end. Continue reading "Profit From This 'Secret' Apparel Stock"
