Prediction: Largest Economic Opportunity of the 21st Century It's only about the size of a small coffee pot. But one expert calls it the "largest economic opportunity of the 21st century."   It's already being used to partially power Google, Wal-Mart, FedEx and Bank of America. And guess what? The company that makes it could become one of the most valuable in the world. And hardly anybody knows about it.   But here's the best part — you can own a piece right now for only about 21 cents.   CLICK HERE NOW for all the details. Four Trends for the Second Quarter 2015 By Christian DeHaemer | Thursday, March 19th, 2015 Yesterday, Fed Chair Janet Yellen jawboned about raising interest rates — but in the end did not raise interest rates. As we all know, Yellen can't raise interest rates without destroying whatever fragile economy the world is developing. For about eight months now, I've been telling you that the price of oil would go down to $33. And Yellen just confirmed it will happen in Q2 2015. Here is the dollar chart. Oil is priced in dollars. When the value of the dollar goes up, the price of oil must go down... That chart looks a bit toppy to me. But the rest of the world is in a currency war — a race to the bottom. Are you going to buy euros when the EUR/USD is at $1.06? That's almost parity. Besides, euro bonds pay a negative interest rate. You are better off buying Indonesian government bonds at 6.5%.

The time to buy an oil or gas company drilling in a new shale formation is when: Production is just starting; Initial wells are showing great results; and The mainstream investing public knows very little about it. There's a new $1 company in the historic Petroplex formation that meets all three of these conditions. With nearly 20,000 acres of land and great initial results on its horizontal wells, it's only a matter of time before this company trades at $10. Click here for the ticker symbol. Countries think that cheaper currency is better because exports increase and there are more jobs. It doesn’t matter that national wealth decreases. Here is the long-term oil chart going back to the 2009 financial crisis: Oil is falling because the global economy is slowing and the world is swimming in oil. Fitch predicts a 3.6% global GDP growth, down from 6.9% in 2010 — though they expect a rebound in 2016. Business Insider writes, “The U.S. has so much crude that it is running out of places to put it, and that could drive oil and gasoline prices even lower in the coming months.” Crude Facts As I write this, crude oil is trading at $44.93. Gold is at $1,164, and copper is at $2.63. As you can see by the oil chart above, we hit $33 a barrel in 2009. In the next three months, the oil price will hit that and bounce. This will coincide with the high-priced oil hedges from last year running out. I'll be buying at $34 just to be sure I catch the rebound. Right now, I am buying two countries that will benefit from low oil prices: the Philippines and India. They are both large importers of oil. Both of these countries' economies are expanding, and their stock markets are going up as well. In Crisis and Opportunity, I am in both. Advertisement Nazi Secret to Launch $3 Stock into the Stratosphere A strange type of fuel powered HALF of the Nazi's war machine during World War II. They used it in their tanks and airplanes when their oil supplies were cut off. Strangely enough, the U.S. Air Force is now using it in its fleet of B-52 bombers. It's NOT oil, ethanol, algae, or natural gas. It's cheaper than traditional jet fuel and cleaner, too. Now, it's about to power over 10 million U.S. automobiles per year. And it could send this $3 stock soaring as it transforms America's fuel industry. Click here now for the full story. Death of a Supercycle Commodities have taken a beating over the past five years. But something interesting has happened recently... Here is a chart of the Chinese stock market versus the price of copper: As you can see, there has been a divergence. It is the market fashion to hate on Chinese equities these days, but as you can tell, the market has doubled since 2011. As the new government cleans up corruption and shuts down the shadow banks, money is flowing from failed real estate deals and into the stock market. So while Chinese GDP slows, its central bank eases and stocks go up. China is also a big importer of oil.   Copper is no longer tracking the Chinese equity market because the real estate boom has ended. Contrarian Play: The Steel Makers Yesterday, I noticed that call options on steel producers were seeing a volume spike. Nucor (NYSE: NUE) saw call option volume increase from around 2,500 to 12,400 two days ago. The smart money thinks the sell-off in steel is overdone and will reverse. You see, despite increased efficiencies and a booming car market, the strong dollar has made imports more competitive than U.S. producers. The Financial Times reports: US motor sales of about 17m a year are close to pre-financial crisis highs. Non-residential construction and manufacturing indicators are also strong. The problem for US producers was an import surge enabled by slowing consumption in China and the rising dollar. The price for benchmark US hot-rolled coil steel is down to $492/tonne, a level not seen since mid-2009; last August the price was $680/t. Monthly imports have averaged well above 3.5m tonnes a month since early 2014, after averaging about 2.5m tonnes in 2012 and 2013. Again, this trend could be changing. Oil pipelines are still expanding at a record pace. If the dollar reverses, steel producers like United States Steel Corp. (NYSE: X) could more than double. As you can see by the chart, the downtrend has broken, there is support at $20, and the chart put in higher lows/a double bottom.
