The S&P 500 has confounded the bears and is off to its best start in years, rallying almost 7 percent in a little more than a month of trading. After an uninterrupted rally of this magnitude, investors should be prepared for the inevitable correction.
Elliott H. Gue
The official program of the 2008 G-8 Summit in Tokyo called Elliott Gue "the world's leading energy strategist," a testament to his deep understanding of global energy markets. Since 2005, Elliott shared his expertise in each issue of The Energy Strategist, a semimonthly financial advisory that unearths the most profitable short-term and long-term opportunities in this space and outlines the interrelated economic and geopolitical forces that drive these markets.
Elliott accurately predicted the last two price run-ups in oil prices, and investors who followed his lead after the Macondo oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico also made a killing. His prescient calls on seaborne coal prices, uranium prices and the futility of investing in several hot alternative-energy stocks have also enabled his Portfolios to generate market-beating returns. He also co-authored The Rise of the State: Profitable Investing and Geopolitics in the 21st Century (Financial Times Press) and The Silk Road to Riches: How You Can Profit by Investing in Asia's Newfound Prosperity (Prentice Hall). Prior to joining Investing Daily, Elliott lived and worked in Europe for five years, earning a bachelor's degree in economics and management and a master’s degree in finance at the University of London. He was the first American student to complete a full degree at this prestigious business school. While Elliott lives and breathes investments, he also enjoys travel, fine wine, red meat and anything hooked to the end of his fly-fishing rod. |

With encouraging economic data prompting traders to take on additional risk, it’s time for investors to add equities.
At this early stage in the security registration process, SandRidge Mississippian Trust II’s (NYSE: SDR) tax advantages, exposure to oil prices and potential for distribution growth make the stock worthy of consideration. However, much of this depends on the price at which the trust debuts; no stock is a buy at any price.
Last Thursday, I hosted one of my regular Live Chat sessions with readers of The Energy Strategist. Here are my responses to a handful of common questions from subscribers.
It’s easy to fall prey to overly bearish sentiment regarding the EU sovereign-debt crisis. Europe is far from healthy, but key credit metrics suggest that the outlook is improving on the Continent.
Don’t buy into the gloom. The US economy continues to improve in key areas.
It may seem old fashioned, but railroad data can provide key insights into the strength of the US economy. And the US economy is gathering steam.
US oil and gas trusts have become increasingly popular in this low-yield environment, but not every royalty trust is a winner. San Juan Permian Basin Royalty Trust lacks the upside of newly listed oil and gas trusts.
The US economy has picked up steam in the fourth quarter as several major headwinds have abated. But the EU sovereign-debt crisis will continue to roil markets in 2012 and investors would be wise to adopt a strategy of defensive growth next year.
Congress averted a government shutdown in a rare moment of bipartisan action. But US politics will continue to exert an outsized influence on markets in 2012. Here’s how to protect yourself from uncertainty in Washington.
