Well, like any other type of investment, we need to look at the past to understand where we are presently. So, is gold a good investment?

Syria: Who's Responsible And What's Next?
The US, the West and even Russia cannot dodge their share of responsibility for the civil war in Syria. But by pulling together they might find détente and an end to the madness. The meeting between Obama and Putin could be an important step.

Forbes Real Time
Weekend Anime: Knights Of Sidonia
There are certain aspects of mecha anime that have become somewhat of a staple. The trick is to make these staples seem fresh and interesting. In that sense, the challenge then falls on the writer to concoct something new out of what has already passed. Knights of Sidonia is an excellent example of what happens when somebody gets it very right.

The Week Ahead: Will European Stocks Bottom First?

Forbes - Markets
The Week Ahead: Will European Stocks Bottom First?
The extensive speech Thursday by Fed Chair Janet Yellen calmed the global markets early Friday as the European markets opened strong as did the US markets. Some positive earnings after Thursday's close also were a plus as it had been a rough weak for the stock market. The surprise resignation of John Boehner early Friday morning did raise the level uncertainty as we head into this week's debt deadline. In early September's column " The Week Ahead: Time To Join The Bear Market Camp?" I commented on the further deterioration in the market's technical outlook but concluded that it was too early for me to join the bear market camp. The German Dax index peaked on April 10th after leading the S&P 500 higher all year. In contrast the S&P 500 made its closing high on May 21st. The Dax made a new closing low on Thursday September 24th and so far the S&P 500 has not closed below the August 26th low of 1867.
