That's when you get the best deals. So does that make stocks a good investment for you today? <br />
<br />
No question, Americans are still wary of the stock market. The S&amp;P 500 has remained within a narrow range for more than a year. Not surprising given the U.S. high unemployment rate and the fall in values of homes. On top of that, the world is jittery over the debt crisis in Europe, the possibility of inflation in China (even though China so far has not raised interest rates), and skirmishes taking place between North and South Korea. And then there are well-known economists such as <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/12/13/why-there-wont-be-an-economic-recovery-soon/">Gary Shilling</a> and David Rosenberg who are sounding alarm bells that now is not the time to invest in stocks.<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/12/15/james-altucher-despite-world-worries-buy-stocks-video/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>James Altucher: Despite World Worries, Buy Stocks [VIDEO]</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/12/15/james-altucher-despite-world-worries-buy-stocks-video/">James Altucher: Despite World Worries, Buy Stocks [VIDEO]</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Wed, 15 Dec 2010 17:30:00 EST.

It's an attempt, in part, to ward off deflation. But will it work? <br />
<br />
Investors have had to make a bet this year over whether they should brace for inflation or deflation. Those who fear inflation invest in Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, or TIPS. The value of TIPS has been rising this year and the Fed's message that inflation has been too low has helped fuel its rise.<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/11/02/gary-shilling-qe2-wont-stop-deflation/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Gary Shilling: QE2 Won't Stop Deflation</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/11/02/gary-shilling-qe2-wont-stop-deflation/">Gary Shilling: QE2 Won't Stop Deflation</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Tue, 02 Nov 2010 17:30:00 EST.

On Monday <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/39710609">Becky Quick of CNBC</a> asked him today to reveal the dumbest investment he ever made. Turns out, Buffett says that his own company, Berkshire Hathaway (<a class="inlinked" href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/quotes/berkshire-hathaway-inc-cl-a/brk.a/nys">BRK.A</a>), was the dumbest stock he has ever bought. <br />
<br />
Why? Buffett explained on CNBC that early in 1962, he came across the textile company, which was constantly closing mills and reinvesting the proceeds in its stock. So Buffett figured he would also buy the stock, tender it to Berkshire's management and make a small profit.<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/10/18/the-dumbest-stock-warren-buffett-ever-bought/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Dumbest Stock Warren Buffett Ever Bought</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/10/18/the-dumbest-stock-warren-buffett-ever-bought/">The Dumbest Stock Warren Buffett Ever Bought</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Mon, 18 Oct 2010 13:00:00 EST.

You can put it in stocks, hope to make a 10% return over time, and if the market moves up, you could walk away with an extra $2,000 to $10,000 before taxes. Or, you could take that same investment, and put it into something that could generate far greater returns.</p>
<p>James Altucher, Managing Director of Formula Capital, says that a better way to reap big returns is to exploit your employer.

James Altucher, managing director of Formula Capital, believes that stocks are going up. But even so, he says there are better ways to make money.<br />
<br />
His suggestion: In the video below, he argues that if you have $20,000 to $100,000 to invest, put your money into something that will make a big change in your life, instead of in stocks. If you are a photographer, for example, buy a top of the line camera. The payoff in producing better photographs should help your photography business far more than putting $3,000 in stocks. <br />

But it turns out the highest end retailers have been doing just fine lately.

<br />
Shares in all three of these consumer discretionary companies have gained about 70% since the recession ended in June 2009.

But instead of chasing high-profile companies, Hilary Kramer, editor of <a href="http://www.gamechangerstocks.com">GameChangerStocks.com</a>, says there are some great opportunities in companies that are growing fast, but still haven't caught the focus on Wall Street. <br />
<br />
Among her picks: SatCon Technology Corp. (<a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/quotes/satcon-technology-corporation/satc/nas" class="inlinked">SATC</a>), which takes solar energy and wind power and uploads those technologies to the smart grid, and Horizon Lines (<a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/quotes/horizon-lines-inc/hrz/nys" class="inlinked">HRZ</a>), a shipping company with an edge.

<br />
While the announcement sent the dollar lower, investors moved into gold and silver, sending gold prices up to $1,296 at one point. The yellow bullion has been a terrific investment this year, with Gold ETFs up about 16%. That beats stocks and bonds.<br />

<br />
While Nokia fumbled, the stock, which traded at more than $15 per share in April, has fallen about 38% and now trades around $9.50.<br />
<br />
But things could be about to turn around. <br />

<br />
Gary Shilling, president of <a href="http://www.agaryshilling.com/">A. Gary Shilling &amp; Co</a>., is a well-known market bear and says that we are entering a period of deflation that could last a decade. Part of his reasoning: the consumer price index which measures inflation, has been falling. That, plus the government's massive debt and consumer debt are further reasons for why the Fed's efforts to save the economy may not have succeeded.<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/08/03/gary-shilling-where-to-invest-in-a-deflationary-economy/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Gary Shilling: Where to Invest in a Deflationary Economy</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/08/03/gary-shilling-where-to-invest-in-a-deflationary-economy/">Gary Shilling: Where to Invest in a Deflationary Economy</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Tue, 03 Aug 2010 18:00:00 EST.

(<a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/quotes/mgic-investment-corp-milwaukee-wi/mtg/nys" class="inlinked">MTG</a>), posted a quarterly profit of $24.6 million compared to a loss of nearly $340 million in the year-ago quarter. That good news comes after three years of losses. <br />
<br />
MGIC's results should bode well for Radian, which will announce its second quarter results on August 3, and PMI Group, which will release its second quarter results on July 29.<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/07/20/stocks-of-mortgage-insurers-rising/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Stocks of Mortgage Insurers Rising</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/07/20/stocks-of-mortgage-insurers-rising/">Stocks of Mortgage Insurers Rising</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Tue, 20 Jul 2010 14:30:00 EST.
