      <title>As Economy Heats Up, Will Commodities?</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/6456886</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[Thanks to the life support of $12 trillion and 515 rate cuts by the world’s central banks since March 2009, the global economy’s heart is beginning to beat again. As the market senses a robust economic recovery is underway, expectations are climbing that this growth will continue. Even the Federal Reserve has hinted that it may taper quantitative easing because of the improved economic situation. As a result, interest rates are increasing.<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/6456886>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[An unexpected change of heart happened in May that you might not have heard about. After years of resisting any path other than its rigorous course, Germany announced it is backing off from pure austerity and is now planning to spend billions of euros to stimulate the economies of Europe.<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/6449678>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <title>The Love Trade For Gold Is Still On!</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/6443777</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[Investors should have gained confidence from Ben Bernanke’s recent testimony to Congress that the Federal Reserve intends on being accommodative as long as needed. He had a laundry list of job market conditions that needed improving and reiterated that inflation remains low. It’s his belief that “a premature tightening of monetary policy could lead interest rates to rise temporarily but would also carry a substantial risk of slowing or ending the economic recovery and causing inflation to fall further.”<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/6443777>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <title>Don’t Sell In May: Here Are Reasons To Extend Your Stay</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/6423421</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[During the first week of May every year, the maxim, “Sell in May and Go Away,” gets taken out, dusted off and powered up as a reason to sell stocks. The rhyme is more than just a catchy urban legend: June, July, August and September have historically been the weakest months of the year for the S&amp;P 500 Index.<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/6423421>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I was honored to be in St. Paul’s Cathedral attending Margaret Thatcher’s funeral last week. It was quite a special opportunity to pay tribute to Britain’s longest-serving prime minister in person, and the ceremony provided a reflective occasion on her influential leadership and unwavering conviction.<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/6398219>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The U.S. mining industry was dealt a devastating blow as Kennecott Utah Copper’s Bingham Canyon Mine experienced a pit wall failure causing a massive landslide with rocks and dirt covering the bottom of the mine pit.

      <title>Every Gold Coin Has Two Sides</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/6379657</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[Just as every coin has two sides, every data point that doesn’t meet expectations usually has an upside somewhere. For instance, although the gold price has fallen with the strengthening U.S. dollar, the yellow metal is appreciating in Japanese yen. So when negative news about the economy came out this week, along with the U.S. Labor Department reporting that the country added only 88,000 jobs in March, investors found reasons to be encouraged.<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/6379657>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I have always been fascinated by what motivates people. What motivates Tiger Woods to pursue the goal of being the world’s greatest golfer? What’s the motivation driving Warren Buffett to continue purchasing companies instead of retiring in Tahiti? Or how about the motivation behind the trucks allegedly packed with euros parked in front of the Central Bank in Nicosia?<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/6372795>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[U.S. oil independence is picking up steam. In December, the country lost its position as the world’s largest importer of oil, with shale production climbing faster than expected. Net imports fell below 6 million barrels per day, domestic production increased more than 1 million barrels per day and demand declined by about 700,000 barrels per day.<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/6336042>[More...]</a>]]></description>
