The Seven Steadfast Laws of Investing

In this missive I present a set of principles that have always guided sensible investment that, together, form what I call The Seven Immutable Laws of Investing. [Incidentally, immutable means "not subject or susceptible to change or variation in form or quality or nature."]  I hope they help you to avoid some of the worst mistakes, which, when made, tend to lead investors down the path of the permanent impairment of capital. Right now, I believe the laws argue for caution. [Let me explain.] Words: 3023

Oil Prices Look to Top $150 by Midsummer On Resilient Demand and MENA Turmoil

Money Morning predicted in its 2011 Outlook series that oil prices would see $100 a barrel by summer. And that's proven to be true - but not entirely for the reasons we discussed.

In addition to the increased demand we talked about in January, violence in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has driven oil prices into the stratosphere. The price of light, sweet crude climbed above $112 a barrel last week, up more than 22% from where it started the year.

Deutsche Bank AG : ADRO - Earnings revision on higher coal & oil price

Adaro Energy {Ticker: ADRO.JK, Closing Price: 2,275 IDR, Target Price: 4,000 IDR, Recommendation: Buy}

Revising 2011 and 2012 earnings forecasts on higher coal & oil prices
We have increased our earnings forecasts for 2011 and 2012 by 6% and 5%, respectively. This factors in adjustments to FY10 results, as well as higher DB coal price (up 13% and 4% to USD130/t and USD140/t for JFY11 and JFY12) and higher oil price (up c. 16% to USD117/bbl for both years) assumptions. We have also adjusted our currency assumption to Rp8990 from Rp9200 previously. So far, Adaro has priced around 40% of its 2011 volumes, implying a spot exposure of 60% (including 40% on index). (See table.)
Maintain Buy rating, with TP of Rp4,000.

Trades of the Day... Fundamentally: CIMB mempertahankan rating OVERWEIGHT untuk sektor infrastruktur dengan top picks pada Jasa Marga dengan target harga Rp4350 dan sektor semen, khususnya INTP, dengan target harga Rp19300, karena alasan fundamental. Katalis jangka pendek adalah keluarnya aturan pembebasan lahan dan konsesi jalan tol, yang juga akan menguntungkan sektor properti dan konstruksi. Dalam IIICE terakhir, pemerintah ingin mempercepat projek infra karena tahun lalu yang mengecewakan. Namun, kami tetap positif dengan semangat pemerintah. CIMB mempertahankan rating OUTPERFROM untuk Bank Bukopin (BBKP) dengan target harga Rp940 dari metode GGM (ROE: 17.4%, CoE: 15.2%, growth: 11%). BBKP telah menandatangani kontrak dengan APERSI (bekerja sama dengan Jamsostek) asosiasi penyedia rumah bersubsidi, menandai dimulainya skema subsidi FLPP. Dengan support pemerintah Rp1.7tr untuk BBKP pada 2011, emiten akan mencatat kredit KPR/KPA baru senilai Rp2.8tr (+9.3% yoy).

(BBKP IJ / BBKP.JK, OUTPERFORM - Maintained, Rp730 - Tgt. Rp940, Banks)  CIMB 

[Dow Jones] Indonesian shares are likely to open slightly higher, helped by gains in some Asian markets so far and a stronger rupiah, traders say. They expect the main index to top 3730 after it ended down 0.7% Thursday  at 3707.979. "I expect a rebound in select commodity-related stocks on higher oil prices to drive the main index higher despite further profit-taking in  consumer shares," says a trader with a local securities firm. Coal producer Bumi (BUMI.JK) and CPO producer Astra Agro (AALI.JK) may rebound on higher commodity prices. Meanwhile, car maker Astra (ASII.JK) may fall on further  profit-taking.

CMNP MAY BE ADDED TO LQ45 LIST OF STOCKS BY EARLY MAY.

Lousy Track Record for Robert Prechter and Elliott Wave International

Financial analyst Robert Prechter is in the headlines, this time for another look at his 2003 predictions of financial apocalypse. You’d think I’d see eye-to-eye with the guy. He’s pessimistic on the economy and so am I.

The difference is that he’s a permabear who always thinks the world’s about to end. He’s been pessimistic since 2003, and most of the horrible thing’s he’s been predicting have yet to pass. So sure, he may not have gotten killed in the end of 2008 meltdown, but he didn’t have a run up, either.

Comment: Inching up to a new recent high at 1.4520, at the upper edge of the 'channel' since February, with tiny signs of instability. Moving averages are supportive and all elements of this daily Ichimoku 'cloud' chart suggest a long position. Strategy: Attempt longs at 1.4455/1.4400; stop below 1.4240.

Copper Prices Update: Prosper as Copper Becomes the "New Gold"
The Statue of Liberty is one of the most recognizable American icons in the world.
And as she towers 305 feet above Ellis Island, what's Lady Liberty wearing? Copper - 60,000 pounds of it. Clearly, copper's big in art. It's also a key metal that keeps the world economy humming. Copper consumption has grown at an average annual rate of 4% since 1900. China and India - which some analysts describe as the combined market of "Chindia" - where one of every three human beings resides, needs loads of this element to meet its modernization requirements for electricity and infrastructure.

“I have put almost all of my eggs in one basket – precious metals, energy and agriculture - with the bulk being in precious metals. These are diversified only in that they span bullion, geography and the range of very large to the very early stage junior exploration companies. A third of my investments are either in individual stocks (or their long-term warrants should they have any) of which many of the companies are  juniors and the other two thirds are in ETFs which invest in a range of larger-cap precious metals stocks.”  Let me tell you why I thought it was a good idea at the time and still think it is.

Is Goldman, Wall Street's Biggest Commodities Bull, Hanging Up the Horns?
http://www.cnbc.com/id/42545164
Goldman Sachs told clients there is a strong chance commodity prices may reverse, recommending they take profits. Goldman Sachs recommended that investors stop buying a specific oil contract that the investment bank had previously recommended. The U.S. appears to have started cutting oil consumption as consumers face higher prices for gasoline and other petroleum-based fuels. Goldman Sachs is a major player in oil markets and it has been one of the most vocal about the potential for oil to rise this year.

Special Reports: Gold vs. Oil: Underpriced Or Overvalued?

European Interest Rate Hike May Foretell Shift in Fed PolicyBy Jon D. Markman, Contributing Writer, Money Morning
Stocks traded with all the precision of a baseball skipping into the Boston Red Sox outfield over the past week, which is to say it was pretty sloppy. The major equity averages settled near the flat line, but it was a mess getting there after the European Central Bank raised rates for the first time since mid-2008, there was a 7.1 magnitude aftershock in Japan, and Texas Instruments Incorporated (NYSE: TXN) bought a rival chip maker at incredible premium.

Oil Price Inflated, Time to Take Profits From Resource Related Investments
An April 7 Bloomberg News survey indicated that oil prices may rise on speculation that elections in Nigeria will curb output and the Libyan conflict will halt exports.  Nevertheless, the current market snapshot remains in total contradiction to the oil bull’s assertion that both WTI and Brent (front month for the next 30 days) sitting at 2+ years high…and climbing, are driven by these aforementioned ‘market fundamentals.’

Gold vs. Oil: Underpriced Or Overvalued?
No one agrees what the “fundamental” price of gold is. What’s indisputable is that the price went up by 400% over the past ten years; thus the “Gold Bugs” are purring like fat-cats full-up with fresh milk. Their indisputable logic is that the price went up, they got it right, and that proves their logic was correct; it’s hard to argue the other side of that debate.

The QE2 Trade Is Over: Can We Start Dumping Risk Assets Now?
By Edward Harrison, March 28, 2011

    "The Fed could announce a federal funds target of 3% but the tsunami of excess reserves now out there swamps any conceivable demand, so the Fed funds rate would be guaranteed to remain stuck at zero. The target would be meaningless."

    ~ Ryan Avent as quoted in Why the Federal Reserve wants to drain excess reserves, Dec 2009.

Where to Make Money Now: Cunningham
It's easy to argue about the stock market and whether or not you think it's going higher. What's hard is to make a case that it should, especially if you feel that, at best, only one of three economic engines is poised to offer any growth right now.
