05/08/2008 - A Small World After All
By Kevin Kerr
Greg’s Note: As much as the Fed tries to stave off inflation while still propping up the economy, it seems that we are in for more dollar trouble in the near and possibly distant future. Couple that with weather and other crop problems, and a big rally for agriculture and other resource commodities is what we can expect. Our commodity expert Kevin Kerr has been doing the leg work and finding out what lies ahead of us in the agricultural sector.

And here are the last few issues:

05/07/2008 - Myth Buster
By Jim Rogers
Greg’s Note: Today’s Whiskey is a special excerpt from legendary financial mind Jim Rogers’ book, Hot Commodities. In this essay, Jim explains away some of the myths many people associate with commodity markets. There are a lot of misconceptions and fears out there when it comes to resource investing and Jim is bent on making sure people understand these sometimes complicated, but often profitable markets just a little bit better.

05/06/2008 - Farm Aid
By Kevin Kerr
Greg’s Note: With a great demand for a change in our energy consumption, the U.S. has been quick to follow in the footsteps of some of our international friends and adopt new and cutting edge fuels. Unfortunately, as the Resource Trader Alert’s Kevin Kerr informs us, we may have adopted a project that was doomed to fail from the beginning. We seem to have a history of identifying a problem and rushing to solution before really taking the necessary steps to find a real fix.

05/05/2008 - The Have Mores
By Byron King
Greg’s Note: During our economic downtime, people are talking about how we’re going to survive on the margins. How are we going to pay for gas, clothes, food or even shelter? But there is another area of the economy that has gone largely unnoticed. What about the luxury goods? If we go into a recession, who’s going to be buying the Porches, Cristal and caviar? Why isn’t anyone worried about the rich people? They live in the same economy we do and face all the same problems.

05/02/2008 - The Next Big Thing
By Christopher Hancock
Greg’s Note: As times change, so do trends. In the old days, the louder and more powerful your car, the better. Now, green is the name of the game and everyone wants to drive super quiet, efficient hybrids. Just as in the roaring ‘90s consumption was the hottest trend, Chris Hancock explains that it will soon be fashionable to cut back. No more frills, no more showing off, no more flossing.
