  Don Dion submits:

  As investors prepare for President-elect Obama to take office in January, attention should be paid to the sectors that will be impacted most by changes in policy. The healthcare sector, one of Obama’s key focal points, may present unique opportunities for ETF investors as the election dust settles and the country looks forward to the new administration. The healthcare sector comprises a variety of industries or subsectors, including pharmaceutical companies, medical device makers, hospitals and biotechnology. While some of these subsectors will be impacted more than others, healthcare providers could...

• Recessionary Equity Strategies: The Price Is Right

  (Wed, 29 Oct 2008 06:47:25 -0400)

  When it comes to recessionary equity strategies, what could be more sensible than pursuing "value." You're buying stocks for which the bad news is likely already reflected in the stock price. You're not paying premiums for expectations that seem more likely to be dashed. The cheap prices reflect margin for error that should cushion portfolio performance in case conditions turn out worse than expected. There's just one fly in the ointment. These stocks often fail to deliver. But there's nothing wrong with value that can't be fixed by a bit of tweaking.

• Buying Gold for Oil Like George Soros

  (Thu, 24 Jul 2008 03:28:40 -0400)

  Arie Goren submits:

  On his column at Forbes.com on July 17, 2008, “Gold And Oil For Soros”, Robert Lenzner says that the legendary investor George Soros, Chairman of Soros Fund Management,“finally shorted oil at $137 a barrel and put on a long position in gold; he expects to see gold hold its ground even if oil continues to decline”.

  The reason for this move, according to Lenzner, is his belief in a consistent price ratio of 10-to-1 between gold and oil, and since this ratio fell lately to 7.4, “either gold will rise to 10 times a barrel of oil ($1,350...
