Something to think about …
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had
never failed a single student before but had once failed an entire
class.
That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be
poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

ETF Talk: Can Chile Spice Up Your Portfolio?
As ETF’s continue to gain traction I wanted to get someone who really knows the ETF’s to give us a little “ETF Talk”. That person is Doug Fabian, from FabiansSuccessfulInvesting.com. Please enjoy the article, check out Doug’s ETF knowledge, and please comment below with your thoughts and opinions on ETF’s!
===================================================================
While I still believe that we are in the midst of a bear market rally, there are plenty of ways to generate profits during this period of unprecedented market volatility. Despite the 33% rally in the S&P 500 since March 9, it is important to remember that the index is up only 0.6% YTD.
This paltry gain pales in comparison to the rallies in emerging markets. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index (EEM), which duplicates the performance of the stock markets of 26 different countries, is up 27% so far this year. If you typically invest in developed markets, you now may be tempted to buy an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that gives exposure to emerging markets.

We update our gold outlook (new video)
The gold market sprang into life yesterday (5/20) as it closed in on $940 level which brings it back to its best levels since March 20th. We last looked at the gold market shortly after my return from New Zealand on May 5th. At that time, Gold (xauusdo) was trading at $902 you can see that all on my earlier video. Presently we are trading around $937 zone and it looks as though we can see further upside action in this market.
I think you’ll find this new video very informative and you may watch with my compliments. There are no registration requirements. Please enjoy and give your feedback on our blog. Thank you.

Next to go belly up … Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp
From our business news partner.
Deficit surges at agency that insures pensions
By DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press Writer
(AP:WASHINGTON) In an ominous setback, the government agency that insures the pensions of 44 million Americans has amassed a record $33.5 billion deficit _ triple what it was just six months ago.
The bleak financial snapshot, in a report obtained by The Associated Press, raises new fears that a federal bailout eventually will be needed for the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. The beleaguered agency is being saddled with the underfunded pension plans of companies going bankrupt in the worst economic slump since the Great Depression.
