Insider Money Annual Outlook Issue

Insider Money is a general investment letter covering longterm outlooks for the economy, stocks, bonds, gold, and oil. I am amused when I see articles on “those got it right,” having foreseen this or that aspect of the financial crisis. Insider Money subscribers have experienced few surprises over the past eight years, having been forewarned (repeatedly, and well ahead) of virtually every facet of the economic crisis. Not just years in advance, but with specific timely advice. It takes a lot longer, for instance to liquidate real estate holdings or a bond portfolio than to sell a stock portfolio. Timing is everything. Insider Money serves two priorities, but in a specific order. My first concern is return of your capital. My second priority is return on your capital.

Insider Money has carried both advance warning of major financial upheavals plus timely actionable investment recommendations.
These are early warnings issued in IM:
2003 Mortgage backed securities huge risk
2003 Derivatives threaten financial system
2003 Debt bubble hangs over economy
2004 Glass-Steagall repeal–history lesson
2004  Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac gone wild
2004 Unprecedented Housing bubble
2004 Musical chairs in Credit default swaps
2007 Triple-digit annual bank failures due
2007 World-wide financial system at risk
Here are the timing calls in IM & BR:
Dec 1998 Generational commodity bull move
Mar 2000 NASDAQ market top
July 2005 Housing bubble top won’t be long
Oct 2007 Major stock market top
Nov 2007 Recession already here
Jun 2008 Commodity prices to plunge 50%
Jul 2008 Oil prices to collapse to $30
Jul 2011 Stocks, special situation selling recommendation

Gold may take a breather

Quoted By GENE EPSTEIN in Barron’s

September 2, 2011
One such bear is Steve Briese, publisher of the Bullish Review of Commodity Insiders newsletter and Website. Having strongly recommended long positions in the metal early this year, Briese (pronounced “breezy”), recently put out a virtual S.O.S. to his subscribers. In the Aug. 15 issue of the newsletter, he called the daily gold price chart “as close to straight up as you can get without going vertical,” and then warned, in uncharacteristically emphatic language: “These charts always, always, always end with prices going down, down, down for a long, long, long time. Always.”
BASED ON EXTENSIVE research he did for Barron’s about the performance of similar roaring bull markets, which rose and then collapsed, Briese believes a 33% correction from recent highs, to about $1,250, is quite plausible.
Bolstering his conviction that the gold chart illustrates a classic speculative bubble, Briese further points out that the long side of the vast futures and options market has been in “weak hands.” Based on the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s weekly “Commitments of Traders” report, he notes that the net short position of traders whose business involves dealing in actual gold has been at near-record levels over the past few weeks. In other words, the smart money, while not always right, has been voting with its dollars that gold will fall. It has mainly been the speculators who have been voting for a continued price rise.
But not wishing to overly bug the gold bugs, he recommends only that they consider taking profits and then wait to buy back eventually at what he believes will be much lower prices. This is a similar prediction to the one Briese made for commodity indexes in the March 31, 2008,Barron’s cover story. In that case, he was proved right by year end.
