By Mohammad Zulfiqar One of the questions being asked by investors these days is “where’s the inflation?” After the financial crisis and the fall of Lehman Brothers, the Federal Reserve and the U.S. government stepped in to help the financial system.

At the end of August my MIDAS system gave a very clear read on BP. It said to buy. And so buy I did. I managed to open at 441p and today sold out at 485p for a fantastic, leveraged, tax free profit! I saw Zak’s video this morning suggesting there was more upside to…

Earlier in the week I wrote about Robert Shiller’s sharing of this year’s Nobel Prize for Economics. With this in mindm it is worth examining current stock valuations using his seminal work, the…
