FSO Newshour updates

Been catching up with the last couple of weeks of Financial Sense Newshour broadcasts. Lots of topics covered here - definitely give the broadcasts a listen if you haven't already.

Some of the highlights from the recent January 13 and January 20 broadcast:

Jim Puplava and his panel of Newshour experts and guests cover the outlook for the economy, a technical overview of the markets, forecasts on weather trends and the resulting impact on commodity markets (with guest Evelyn Garris of the Browning Newsletter), and opinions on energy and metals markets.

While listening to the first hour of this week's broadcast, I hear energy panel expert, Richard Loomis make some interesting comments on our nation's "energy literacy". This is a competency that Loomis feels is lacking in most individuals, despite the fact that many of us are influencing energy outcomes through politics, investment, and even our daily use of fuel and electricity.

Give a listen and hear Loomis' view on how consumers are being robbed of choice when it comes to selecting our energy future.

Of course, you will not want to miss this week's "guest expert" interview with Marc Faber. Always an interesting and entertaining guest, Marc will be giving us his view of what lies ahead in 2007.

Do check it out and enjoy!

If you've been around markets for any length of time, you've probably heard of 20th century supertrader, Jesse Livermore . Today we're highlighting his rare 1940 work, How to Trade in Stocks (ebook, pdf). But first, a brief overview of Livermore's life and trading career (bio from Jesse Livermore's Wikipedia entry). "During his lifetime, Livermore gained and lost several multi-million dollar fortunes. Most notably, he was worth $3 million and $100 million after the 1907 and 1929 market crashes, respectively. He subsequently lost both fortunes. Apart from his success as a securities speculator, Livermore left traders a working philosophy for trading securities that emphasizes increasing the size of one's position as it goes in the right direction and cutting losses quickly. Ironically, Livermore sometimes did not follow his rules strictly. He claimed that lack of adherence to his own rules was the main reason for his losses after making his 1907 and...
