Last week may have been a tough week for stocks, but it’s been a miserable couple months for commodities. In fact, commodities are down over 20% from their 52-week highs. And, they’ve pretty much gone straight down in May. What’s more, the damage is across the board. Virtually all the major commodities have taken a [...]
I may sound like a broken record, but energy stocks are the place to be right now… Just last month, I was pounding the table for natural gas stocks, and sure enough, natural gas has done nothing but climb since it traded briefly below $2. Even after an almost 20% climb off decade lows, natural [...]
Last week must have been hard to stomach for oil bulls. Crude oil prices took it on the chin towards the end of the week. In fact, crude oil closed below $100 a barrel for the first time since February – dropping all the way below $98. However, oil’s plunge is actually a good thing [...]

We’re just about a month away from the Facebook IPO (if everything goes as planned). So, you can bet social media companies are going to be in the spotlight more than ever. Of course, we’ll see countless articles about Facebook’s super-hyped debut over the next several weeks. And, I’ll be writing about the social media [...]

In fact, Square is looking to raise a fresh round of capital – at a colossal $4 billion valuation. However, the company’s valuation isn’t what I’m focused on. Let’s just say that [...]
Trading penny stocks can be a lot like swimming in the ocean with sharks. One the one hand, you’re swimming in the ocean. But, on the other hand, there are sharks. If you make it, you could end up on a beautiful tropical island. If you don’t, you could be eaten alive. The stock market [...]
