If you want to be poised for the next wave of genuine global growth (i.e., growth based on purchase orders, housing starts and other construction, etc.), you really need to be invested in resources.
Since China might still be too risky a play for many of you, and since I’ve already written quite a bit about [...]

Looking for something different for your portfolio?
Maybe it is time for you to bump up your BRIC investing, invest in Latin America ex-Brazil or you’d like to get more specific with your agricultural investments. If so, you might have already heard about agroforestry, aka tree farms, and specifically, the wealth of Brazil’s eucalyptus plantations.

It’s a great time to buy gold. It’s always a good time to buy gold, of course, but right now you get a little bit of a dip. Gold is off 17% from highs it saw last August 2011. Right now it sits at just $1572 an ounce.

Canadian uranium stocks run the gamut from junior uranium start ups to senior uranium dividend-payers. In a previous post I wrote about the largest Canadian uranium stocks by market capitalization (that was back in September 2009).
