There is a lot of money to be made this year by investing in the right silver company. That’s what I learned late last week when our research director, Andrew Gordon, e-mailed me an advance copy of his latest special report. The report will be going out to members of our Liberty Street League very…

In yesterday’s issue of ETR, I talked about Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs). These companies take an entirely different approach than most in the oil and gas sector. They don’t explore or drill for oil or gas. They don’t buy or sell it either. They just move oil or gas from point A to point B…

The Marcellus Shale gas formation has drawn a lot of attention in the past few years. It contains an estimated 500 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and no fewer than 15 companies are drilling there. But natural gas prices have fluctuated quite a bit for the last nine years. From a low of just…

Yesterday, I told you that there is a class of investments that can produce gains that far exceed their risk level. I gave, as an example, Chevron and Exxon, which returned, respectively, an annual average of 19.9% and 10% over the last decade. Then I told you about another type of investment in the oil…

Is it possible to make low-risk investments in the stock market and still earn high returns? The Modern Portfolio Theory says no. The theory states that the lower the risk of an investment, the lower the expected return. But that might not always be the case. There is a class of investments that has generated…

2011 looks like it will be a great year in the markets. While we are still very early in the first quarter, the S&P is already up 2.9%. And this is just after the fourth quarter of 2010, when the S&P rose 10.2%. If history repeats itself, the stock market should have quite a year.…

Yesterday, we talked about the huge demand for infrastructure in India and the opportunity this gives you to make triple-digit gains in the next 18 months. As a result of chronic underinvestment in infrastructure and 290 million people moving into its urban areas by 2030, India will be spending $1.5 trillion over the next seven…

India is in the midst of a massive infrastructure boom. Over the next 7 years, the country will spend $1.5 trillion on scheduled projects. In the history of the modern world, this ranks among the very largest investments in infrastructure ever. Needless to say, this presents shrewd investors with plenty of great short- and long-term…

Video games aren’t just for kids anymore. From its humble beginnings with games like “Pong” and “Pac Man,” the industry has grown up. The average game player is now 34 years old, according to the Entertainment Software Association. And it is a very, very big business. 2009 annual revenues in the U.S. alone were $10.9…

I got an e-mail a week ago that caught me off guard. Admittedly, when I first read it I thought it was rather brash. “I told you so” was the subject line. It was from our options expert, Ted Peroulakis. Now if you know Ted like I do, you know he is generally a calm…
