A short squeeze in the silver market is pushing prices profoundly higher, the consequence of which could be felt for years. All told, the month of June has witnessed silver rise by over 12%. But the truly aggressive price action began exactly a week ago - with a single-day move from $19.81 to nearly $21. Short squeezes occur when short sellers close their positions with a heightened sense of purpose and haste. Such behavior can cause prices to move sharply higher. That is, since closing a short position requires one to buy shares. The increased buying - and subsequent higher prices - force other short sellers to close their positions, too. Before long, a full-blown short squeeze has commenced, which is exactly what's presently happening in the silver market. Silver's short squeeze, however, has far deeper implications than a short-term bump in prices. Read more »
How can I put this? Americans are... um, fat. More precisely, 68.5% of American adults are now considered overweight, according to a recent study by the Surgeon General. Even worse... 35% of those tubby Americans are classified as obese. And the number of obese adults has doubled since the 1980s. Pretty sobering. Last year, the American Medical Association officially classified obesity as a "disease" - one that costs $150 billion each year. The National Association for Sport and Physical Education says that by 2018, obesity will account for 21% of total U.S. healthcare costs - $344 billion a year. But there's a silver lining... Amid this epidemic, the number of health-conscious Americans has also grown. Memberships at health clubs and gyms jumped by 21.5% between 2005 and 2012, and the number of certified personal trainers is rising, too. Jobs in the health and fitness industry are set to jump by 23% over the next decade, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Simply put, America's obesity problem isn't going to disappear anytime soon. But at the same time, active Americans aren't suddenly going to give up health and fitness. There are many companies looking to either address the nation's weight problem, or enhance the performance of those in shape. This company caters to both. But just how "fit" is it as an investment? Let's give it a grueling C.H.A.O.S. workout and see... Read more »
Correction Notice Making lots of money was never meant to be difficult. With that in mind, the market remains sluggish on the heels of the correction. Such news is always taken very seriously around here. You see, Lee Lowell has issued over 115 "cash codes" since the first one went out to readers on November 5, 2008. Every single one of them has paid out cash within seconds. Readers typically have the opportunity to collect anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 every month. Even better, when the market "corrects," the codes pay out EVEN MORE cash. You can access the details right here. |
Well, the selection of the new House Majority Leader was certainly much less eventful than the previous Majority Leader's downfall. The No. 3 Republican, Kevin McCarthy, easily moved up to take the No. 2 spot from Eric Cantor, who was defeated in the primaries by David Brat. And given that the names in leadership haven't changed much, you'd think that the politics would mostly stay the same, as well. But nothing could be further from the truth... In fact, one of the first moves made by the new Majority Leader was to declare the Export-Import Bank, an 80-year-old institution, dead. Read more »
