Dear rss free blog,
Since I
have decided to stop discussing whether the US Treasury is secretly buying
stocks, I can focus on the real news, that Little Sweetie’s feng shui advisor
and lover has lost a court case in which he tried to become the heir to the
second largest fortune in Hong Kong. I do not think this is linked to the recovering Chinese stock markets, but who knows?
Let me
explain why the wealthy governor of Newfoundland,
Dan Williams, went to the USA
for open heart surgery. Newfie geography (feng shui?) and isolation may have more impact than
doubts about Canadian Medicare, which Williams supports politically. The remake
of Whisky à Gogo was set in Newfoundland because it is like Scotland’s Outer Hebrides,
a long way from civilization, at the back of beyond. Newfies are also the butt of Canada’s own
version of Polish jokes. It was probably a matter of convenience and medical referrals rather than a black eye for Canada’s Health Service.
While I
publish Paul Renaud’s call for investing for total return in stocks with real
dividends, I also practice it. My portfolio you can join on Covestor beat the
S&P 500 by 8.28% in Jan.
The S&P is an irrelevant benchmark, but I did not decide to use it. This means my
stock picks gained despite the selloff. To learn more visit http://cv.im/models/profile/vivian-lewis

about a broader range of shares for paid subscribers follows, mostly positive,
with news from the Dutch Antilles, Brazil,
Peru, and Mexico, plus Canada
in this hemisphere, and others about Greece,
Austria, and Britain. There
is a lot from Switzerland
too, if indirectly. Nothing from Gander or Goose Bay, however.
It looks like gold is going up independently of any
weakness in the dollar, which Tom McClellan of subscriptions@mcoscillator.com
thinks may mark a short term bottom.
