Sure, accidents happen. http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/not-going-down-with-the-ship-5590035.html http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/half-of-the-eurozone-downgradedtime-to-start-worrying-5586607.html Thu, 19 Jan 2012 10:02:36 -0500 In total, of the 17 member eurozone countries, more than half—nine—have had their credit ratings downgraded. Only four countries survived the carnage to retain their AAA credit rating: Germany, the Netherlands; Finland; and Luxembourg. What does all this mean for the economy? http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/half-of-the-eurozone-downgradedtime-to-start-worrying-5586607.html http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/why-the-us-housing-market-cant-recover-5579183.html Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:23:59 -0500 Despite what the popular media may be preaching now, the U.S. housing market is more than just upside down. http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/why-the-us-housing-market-cant-recover-5579183.html http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/where-the-next-financial-bubble-is-forming-5579164.html Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:12:39 -0500 Where Michael Lombardi believes the next financial bubble is forming.Where Michael Lombardi believes the next financial bubble is forming. http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/where-the-next-financial-bubble-is-forming-5579164.html http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/if-youre-worried-about-american-stocks-look-at-this-5570440.html Fri, 13 Jan 2012 11:15:09 -0500 If you're worried about American stocks, there could be a great buying opportunity north of the border. http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/if-youre-worried-about-american-stocks-look-at-this-5570440.html http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/stock-market-likes-something-it-sees-ahead-5559294.html Tue, 10 Jan 2012 10:06:12 -0500 All the economic problems facing America and the world today, with all the talk about inflation, typical investors would think gold prices would be moving higher. But readers of PROFIT CONFIDENTIAL are not your typical investors. http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/stock-market-likes-something-it-sees-ahead-5559294.html http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/the-best-investment-you-can-make-for-2008-5555726.html Mon, 09 Jan 2012 10:47:17 -0500 Gold bullion is a form of currency. And with the U.S. dollar declining in value at a rate we have not seen in decades, investors who do not want to move in other fiat (paper) currencies move into gold bullion. http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/the-best-investment-you-can-make-for-2008-5555726.html http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/why-the-biggest-profits-in-the-gold-bull-market-are-still-ahead-5551791.html Sat, 07 Jan 2012 11:58:12 -0500 Many analysts believe that gold bullion is in a bubble that is deflating. However, Michael thinks that the debasing of the U.S. dollar will push gold much higher over the next two to five years, which is why he's buying more gold investments. http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/why-the-biggest-profits-in-the-gold-bull-market-are-still-ahead-5551791.html http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/will-this-be-lucky-year-number-12-5542491.html Wed, 04 Jan 2012 09:23:54 -0500 The year 2011 marked the 11th consecutive year that gold bullion prices closed the year higher than they started.

The sovereign debt issue continues to be a thorn in the side of global investor confidence and, to be very frank, it could be the catalyst for a severe correction in stocks and currencies. Nobody can predict the future and it's unclear as to how things will unfold in Europe; but investment risk for domestic investors remains very high at this time. Mitchell discusses some strateg http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/bottom-in-for-junior-and-senior-gold-producing-stocks-5116747.html http://js.articlesbase.com/real-estate-articles/where-i-see-the-best-value-in-the-market-today-5083521.html Mon, 01 Aug 2011 03:03:28 -0400 Today's commentary is directed to: (1) my readers who have not invested in gold; and (2) my readers who have invested in gold—yes, all my readers. http://js.articlesbase.com/real-estate-articles/where-i-see-the-best-value-in-the-market-today-5083521.html http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/stock-market-whats-really-going-on-now-5074738.html Thu, 28 Jul 2011 12:10:29 -0400 What a day for the market yesterday. Wherever we looked, we saw a sea of deep red. Stocks got chopped. Gold was down. Bonds were down. What's happening? Michael gives you the lowdown. http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/stock-market-whats-really-going-on-now-5074738.html http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/no-gdp-growth-or-spending-consumers-remain-trepidatious-5073346.html Thu, 28 Jul 2011 06:02:11 -0400 An economic recovery update: the effect that cautious consumers have on the health of the U.S. economy. http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/no-gdp-growth-or-spending-consumers-remain-trepidatious-5073346.html http://js.articlesbase.com/real-estate-articles/uncertain-times-for-investorsbut-money-still-being-made-5015506.html Tue, 12 Jul 2011 08:40:37 -0400 These are very trying and uncertain times for investors. On the one hand, profits of public companies are rising sharply; on the other, short-term interest rates have been near zero for years. These are two very strong and positive forces for pushing stock prices higher. http://js.articlesbase.com/real-estate-articles/uncertain-times-for-investorsbut-money-still-being-made-5015506.html http://js.articlesbase.com/real-estate-articles/economy-and-debt-america-on-the-brink-5002510.html Fri, 08 Jul 2011 12:02:37 -0400 I'll try my best not to be sarcastic this morning… But what happened to all theU.S.jobs we were promised were headed our way? The Labor Department reported this morning that only 18,000 new jobs were created in June 2011, the lowest monthly job growth in nine months. The median Bloomberg estimate called for 105,000 new jobs for June. Hear me out… http://js.articlesbase.com/real-estate-articles/economy-and-debt-america-on-the-brink-5002510.html http://js.articlesbase.com/real-estate-articles/stock-market-my-secret-weapon-in-predicting-its-direction-4998005.html Thu, 07 Jul 2011 10:37:11 -0400 Okay, it's March of 2011 and I see stock advisors in general are getting very bullish on the stock market. I start to predict a decline for stock prices. I even make an audio/video presentation stating that I predict stocks will start to collapse on May 2, 2011. http://js.articlesbase.com/real-estate-articles/stock-market-my-secret-weapon-in-predicting-its-direction-4998005.html http://js.articlesbase.com/real-estate-articles/economy-could-this-fictitious-story-become-reality-4993730.html Wed, 06 Jul 2011 12:51:19 -0400 Michael tells you a story about the fictitious future of the world economy and its reserve currency.

This is a business that's worth paying attention to—even if you don't want to own it as a shareholder. http://js.articlesbase.com/real-estate-articles/the-power-of-large-cap-wealth-creation-whats-not-to-like-about-this-stock-4978570.html http://js.articlesbase.com/real-estate-articles/stocks-looking-good-after-break-at-50-day-ma-4978561.html Sat, 02 Jul 2011 07:59:23 -0400 George's technical view on the market this week, including how stocks are looking good after a break at the 50-day moving average. http://js.articlesbase.com/real-estate-articles/stocks-looking-good-after-break-at-50-day-ma-4978561.html http://js.articlesbase.com/business-articles/us-treasuries-only-fools-rush-in-4884556.html Thu, 09 Jun 2011 11:30:32 -0400 There's a lot of news about possible downgrades in the value of U.S. government bonds, but investors continue to flock to them. Here's what's really puzzling Michael and why he believes the herd chasing U.S. Treasuries will eventually get hurt. http://js.articlesbase.com/business-articles/us-treasuries-only-fools-rush-in-4884556.html http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/investment-advice-today-needs-to-unbiased-and-independent-4809599.html Tue, 24 May 2011 06:13:07 -0400 Profit Confidential provides expert investment advice, investing advice, online investment advice & free investment advice.

Things must be good again. The stock market just had its best first quarter run in a decade, up 6.4% for the calendar quarter ended yesterday. The U.S. Labor Department said that 216,000 jobs were created in March and the unemployment rate has fallen to 8.8%. Good times are rolling again. Luxury retail brand Prada says that its net income rose to $355 million in 2010, up 150% from the year before. Most of the luxury-brand stocks are rising again, and this morning we have the NASDAQ saying http://js.articlesbase.com/loans-articles/bad-april-fools-joke-for-investors-playing-out-4521950.html http://js.articlesbase.com/debt-consolidation-articles/stock-market-two-biggest-fears-getting-closer-4496502.html Tue, 29 Mar 2011 06:43:25 -0400 The stock markets remind me of the real estate market in Toronto, Canada. While the U.S. housing market crashed, the real estate market in Toronto is as strong as it has ever been. http://js.articlesbase.com/debt-consolidation-articles/stock-market-two-biggest-fears-getting-closer-4496502.html http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/economic-analysisdoomed-by-a-sea-of-debt-4453368.html Tue, 22 Mar 2011 06:58:15 -0400 Something is terribly wrong in America today. Just about a year ago, when the debt crisis hit Greece, the uncertainty in Europe caused investors to run to the security of the U.S. dollar and U.S. Treasuries. But now, despite what is happening in Japan, despite the civil unrest in the Middle East, the U.S. is no longer the safe haven it was last spring. http://js.articlesbase.com/investing-articles/economic-analysisdoomed-by-a-sea-of-debt-4453368.html http://js.articlesbase.com/insurance-articles/us-dollar-crisis-only-way-to-protect-yourself-4437958.html Sat, 19 Mar 2011 06:43:09 -0400 The big news story this morning is the intervention in the foreign exchange markets by the Group of Seven (G7) industrialized countries to push down the price of the Japanese yen…something smart currency traders were expecting. The European Central Bank, Bank of England, Bank of France, Germany's Bundesbank, and the central Bank of Italy started selling yen this morning. The Bank of Canada and the U.S. Fed are reported to be doing the same sometime today. This is the first time the G7 have inte http://js.articlesbase.com/insurance-articles/us-dollar-crisis-only-way-to-protect-yourself-4437958.html http://js.articlesbase.com/mortgage-articles/perfect-scene-for-phase-three-of-bear-market-rally-in-stocks-4412976.html Tue, 15 Mar 2011 08:56:23 -0400 How a perfect scene is being set for phase three of the bear market. And that's really what I've been writing about since last summer: Inflation will rise with the unprecedented amount of liquidity in the financial system. Interest rates will rise in advance of inflation. The proof is in the pudding: The bellwether 10-year U.S. Treasury has risen from a yield of 2.4% in October 2010 to a yield of 3.4% today. Even the Japanese crisis failed to rally U.S. government bonds (see more on that below). http://js.articlesbase.com/mortgage-articles/perfect-scene-for-phase-three-of-bear-market-rally-in-stocks-4412976.html http://js.articlesbase.com/personal-finance-articles/yesterdays-228-point-drop-why-im-not-too-worried-4404417.html Mon, 14 Mar 2011 07:23:24 -0400 There's so much going on in the world today…so much to tell my readers…and I believe it all boils down to one opportunity for investors. This morning we wake to hear the terrible news of an 8.9-magnitude earthquake hitting Japan. It's Japan's biggest quake in 140 years and it has unleashed tsunami warnings. Japan stocks were down 1.7% yesterday before the main exchange was closed to the earthquake. This morning, futures on Japanese stocks are down another 2.0%.
