Economic Perspective

Louis Petrossi

We have to look at the Federal Government fiscal and monetary policy to accumulate and protect our wealth. The Federal fiscal policy never changes. It is taxation, taxation, and more taxation. Most people have to work until June 1st to meet all of their federal and state tax obligations. United States citizens, unlike most sovereign nations, are taxed on worldwide income.

Many of you are in the United States who are in the process of filing your 2013 tax returns may discover that your standard of living is falling even as your income is going up because of taxation. The middle class is shrinking not expanding because of inflation and taxation policies.

$50 trillion in debt? How far can we go?

Eric St-Cyr

(Over the next few weeks I will be publishing a series of columns to help investors understand what will be the global economic drivers for the next ten years. I will discuss their effects on our lives and how to profit from the changes ahead through a series of 10 investment themes.

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I, therefore, intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt.
Barack Obama, March 16, 2006

Qualify for a Second Passport & Create Passive Commercial Cash Flow in Panama

Brian M. Koslow

With the hospitality sector of Panama's economy expanding from the steady increase in business tourism, medical tourism, shopping tourism, cruise ship tourism and about to get another big boost from the new convention center, it may be a good time to see how you can get involved.  Notably, Panama's hotels have been steadily raising rates and occupancies have been strong since the announcement of the expansion of the Panama Canal.  Of course, many businesses have and continue to expand in Panama, however, owning a hotel -- or a hotel unit, can be a unique way for individual investors to gain passive commercial cash flow from the growth of the hospitality sector.

Why We Like Brazil

James Duckworth

In 2012 Brazil is the joint sixth biggest (together with the UK) global economy, and by 2016 the IMF and World Economic Outlook forecast that Brazil will have left the UK behind, and will be the world’s fifth largest economy with a GDP of $3.1Tn/$3.1Trillion Brazil’s growth rate over the past decade has been staggering. In 2000 Brazilian GDP was a mere $0.6Tn, a third the output of the UK, and ranking the country globally at number ten.

The New World Monetary System

Ralph Girgla

Let us first have a look of the Dollar's role in the world economy, in particular with regard to its share in settling world trade and financial transactions. A currency's share in settling world trade and financial transactions reflects ongoing developments since it is directly determined by the changing relationships of economic and trade power. So that tells us more than the share of world foreign exchange reserves, because it reflects only past trends since it concerns money which has already been accumulated.

Low Risk Shale Oil Investments - Public Stock vs. Buying and Selling Leases

Jack Overstreet

Dear Readers,

In 1986, the U.S. domestic oil and gas industry was on life support. Oil dropped below $10 a barrel, natural gas was cheap, and the investment community was unimpressed with the overall results of the 1973-1982 “boom” in exploration. Driven by high marginal income tax rates in the late seventies and the boundless promises of promoters, through the public markets and private placements, investors dumped billions into oil and gas companies and drilling ventures. In fact, the value of all oil and gas reserves discovered in that period was less than the total cumulative exploration and development investment!

My Retirement Dreams…? Get Real

Michael Cobb

Sorry for the depressing title to the article. But seriously, I was disappointed recently when I saw a commercial for a major US brokerage firm. There sat a stately looking, white haired gentleman who looked like he could be the poster child for AARP. He was talking about his experiences with some other brokers who discussed things like enjoying a vineyard in retirement. As the picture fades, the tag line to the commercial is, “A vineyard? Get real.”
