Global Mining Investing $69.95, 2 Volume e-Book Set. Buy here.
Author, Andrew Sheldon

Global Mining Investing is a reference eBook to teach investors how to think and act as investors with a underlying theme of managing risk. The book touches on a huge amount of content which heavily relies on knowledge that can only be obtained through experience...The text was engaging, as I knew the valuable outcome was to be a better thinker and investor.

While some books (such as Coulson’s An Insider’s Guide to the Mining Sector) focus on one particular commodity this book (Global Mining Investing) attempts (and does well) to cover all types of mining and commodities.

How much will this global economic crisis cost?

This economic crisis is not really an economic crisis, its really a political crisis. The taxpayers of the USA are about to be called upon to pay a lot more in taxation to cover the litany of burdens from misappropriated funds resulting from a system that was designed to enrich CEOs in control of banks and other major corporations. Why? Because they have the power to make party contributions which keep parties in power.
What should happen? Well in all honesty, I think most people no longer have principals. If you believe my book (and you should), then you will understand why these state of events arise. You will also understand that people are going to continue paying taxation because they don't appreciate the extent of the waste. People don't reflect on the fact that taxpayer funds are not used to support people (welfare & services) anymore, they are used to keep people in power. If you use public transport, if you use roads, hospitals, there are discrete taxes or user charges applied in order to fund these things.
The reality is that the US financial system is only going to go bankrupt if taxpayers stop paying tax. The question is - Would they? I could see that as a possibility if taxes increased a great deal, or if inflation totally destroyed the US economy. Bush has suggested the exposure could be $US 1 trillion, thats 2x more than the cost of the Iraqi War. He's what you might call an expensive president. He's done very well on Halliburton stock though.
The US constitution actually does not permit the government to collect income tax, so what will happen if people cynically stop paying tax? Particularly if there are no bonds in their pension plan. Asian governments own a good share of the US bonds. on issue It might be wise to run your own superannuation in future. Governments just cannot be trusted.
So is Barrack Obama any different? Well I think he will be assasinated if he is. I don't see him tracking down the retirement funds of former CEOs who have ill-begotten gains. But in fairness, a lot of people knew what was happening, they just decided not to think. The reason they didn't think is the topic of my current book - A Market Theory of Values.

Japan Foreclosed Property 2015-2016 - Buy this 5th edition report!

Over the years, this ebook has been enhanced with additional research to offer a comprehensive appraisal of the Japanese foreclosed property market, as well as offering economic and industry analysis. The author travels to Japan regularly to keep abreast of the local market conditions, and has purchased several foreclosed properties, as well as bidding on others. Japan is one of the few markets offering high-yielding property investment opportunities. Contrary to the 'rural depopulation' scepticism, the urban centres are growing, and they have always been a magnet for expatriates in Asia. Japan is a place where expats, investors (big or small) can make highly profitable real estate investments. Japan is a large market, with a plethora of cheap properties up for tender by the courts. Few other Western nations offer such cheap property so close to major infrastructure. Japan is unique in this respect, and it offers such a different life experience, which also makes it special. There is a plethora of property is depopulating rural areas, however there are fortnightly tenders offering plenty of property in Japan's cities as well. I bought a dormitory 1hr from Tokyo for just $US30,000.
You can view foreclosed properties listed for as little as $US10,000 in Japan thanks to depopulation and a culture that is geared towards working for the state. I bought foreclosed properties in Japan and now I reveal all in our expanded 350+page report. The information you need to know, strategies to apply, where to get help, and the tools to use. We even help you avoid the tsunami and nuclear risks since I was a geologist/mining finance analyst in a past life. Check out the "feedback" in our blog for stories of success by customers of our previous reports.

The Philippines property market remains one of the strongest in Asia thanks to rising incomes, rising population and rapid rates of urbanisation. The administrative reforms of the Arroyo government have given way to improved administration under Aquino. ASEAN countries can be expected to achieve even greater price gains than Western markets, demonstrating that this super cycle is far from over.

Investment Strategy

If you are investing for the long term, you still need an investment strategy. Dont be fooled by the rhetoric of fund managers. The reason they advise you to 'buy & hold' is because they dont want to compete with you in sell-offs. Markets and industrial sectors are cyclical, so they demand trading to get the best returns. Fund managers actually cant hope to match the performance of small investors (if you are half good) because they have to manage huge amounts of funds and charge you a fee besides.
MY ADVICE is (i) look at a range of market indices and decide upon what level of correction would give you the justification you need to get in & out of the market. It might be a 5-10% retracement or a break of trend. (ii) Diversify if you dont have an intimate knowledge of the company or management. More than 30% in one company is aggressive.
