Review
"This book is like Mal - who is a rider, a rocker and a rebel. He doesn't just think outside the box - he drags it behind his Harley on a cross-continent adventure and then runs over it a few times for good measure. The Bay and Wall Street guys are gonna hate it - Main Streeters should embrace it. One ton of fun!" BJ Del Conte Chase Producer, BNN - Business News Network Business Producer/Anchor - CP24-

MARKET CORRECTION — The day after you buy stocks!
FORECAST – Sunny with Chance of Showers I was asked to speak at the Alternative Investment Conference in Calgary over the weekend. As you know, I don’t believe in predictions (for reasons covered at length in my new book); I … Continue reading

Tim Hortons, Canada business in US, Jobs and People
Like most folks today, I’ve really no inside knowledge about why Don Schroeder quit, was fired or whatever from the ‘apparently’ top job at the iconic coffee/donut/soup/sandwich chain. The news today is simply: “Tim Hortons Inc. (THI-T) is racing to … Continue reading

Financial system leakage, Bill Gross & Chevy Chase.
The best quote I’ve seen to explain what the financial system is suffering went like this: …”nobody knows how much monetary easing is too much. The shrinkage (makes me think of a Seinfeld episode…giggle) in global liquidity as a result … Continue reading
Bond rally or feint? Bullish stocks again!
What’s changed between now and a year ago? There’s no shortage of people that think nothing much has changed. Greece and Portugal are still up the creek, and if anything they owe more money than before so things are worse. This … Continue reading
Time to Buy? Stocks, Commodities & Television.
I was inspired this morning watching a business television interview. A fund manager was suggesting that it’s probably a good idea to sell stocks and sit on some Treasury Bills or other cash equivalent. Isn’t this exactly what I’ve said? … Continue reading

Global economy, Expert Predictions, Jim Rogers, CFA Conference Edinburgh
That’s a terrible photo of me and Jim Rogers, author of Investment Biker – a much different book than my own but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit his inspired me some. On the final day of the 2011 … Continue reading

US$ breakout, inflation no issue, it’s all about interest rates.
Ahead of the herd – So I managed to predict the inevitable drop in the oil price (see old postings), foretold the crunch in commodites generally, and am ‘about’ (crossing my fingers) to get my forecast (I posted on March 8th posting) … Continue reading
