November 3, 2010 Have you seen... We're crushing the markets... Since mid September, the Dow's up a "whopping" 5%. And everyone's throwing a tickertape parade. Bottom line is that you don't have to settle for these measly gains - especially since Keith Fitz-Gerald has just beaten the Dow by 12 times! His new strategy has just returned 63.96% in the same period. Keith's ingenious new strategy completely turns the tables on Wall Street by forcing the fat cats to pay you top dollar for a specific, little-known niche of securities they are mandated to buy. And +63.96% is only the beginning. Go here now for all the details so you don't miss out again. Sorry Wall Street - Asia is the New King of the Global IPO Market [Editor's Note: Although General Motors Corp. yesterday grabbed the headlines with news of its hefty $10.6 billion intial-public-stock offering (IPO), Money Morning's Keith Fitz-Gerald once again reminds investors that the real action is taking place in Asia - and especially China. For more information on the GM IPO, please click here. And read on to see how Fitz-Gerald tells investors to profit from this powerful trend.] By Keith Fitz-Gerald, Chief Investment Strategist, Money Morning The United States - and Wall Street - is surrendering its mantle as the global center for intial public stock offerings (IPOs). In fact, unprecedented demand for IPOs in Asia has reduced the U.S. share of the global IPO market to an all-time low. With another $10 billion in IPO deals expected to be completed by the end of this year, the total amount raised worldwide for all of 2010 will approach $145 billion. With $76 billion raised - including $22.1 billion from Agricultural Bank of China Ltd., alone - China topped the field by raising the most money of any single country. No U.S. company raised more than $700 million. This says a lot about the respective outlooks for the two countries' economies. And it also tells us a great deal about how we should be investing our money. Let me explain. To understand how to profit from this dramatic trend, please read on... Take A Guess... If you took the largest "big box" retailer in the world (and you know who I mean), what do you think the company's worth? About $38 billion in earnings every single year. And how much is West Texas Intermediate Crude worth? About $38 billion... per day. My name is Kent Moors, and I'm inviting you to play rich... the way they do in Texas. Big. Real big. What to Expect from the Federal Reserve's Next Round of Quantitative Easing By Jon D. Markman, Contributing Writer, Money Morning The U.S. Federal Reserve today (Wednesday) is all but certain to announce a second round of quantitative easing - "QE2." Most analysts believe the Fed will pledge to buy another $500 billion in U.S. Treasuries, but I think it will go even further. My expectation is that $500 billion in Treasury purchases over six months will be just a first step, and that the full amount contemplated - as much as $2 trillion - is much larger than consensus. This view is based on an analysis by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) chief domestic economist Jan Hatzius that suggests current interest rates, at 0% to 0.25%, are 700 basis points too high. In plain English, the Goldman analysis suggests that interest rates would have to be -7% to achieve the Fed's goals. Read full story... Money Morning Mailbag We'd like to hear from you!

Question of the Week: Readers Eager for U.S. Economy Overhaul After Midterm Elections [Editor's Note: Last week we asked readers what the top three issues were they wanted tackled after the midterm elections.  Some of our readers' responses are listed below - along with next week's question,  "What Stock Market Moves Will You Make After Midterm Elections?"] By Kerri Shannon, Associate Editor, Money Morning A tense Congressional tug-of-war carried on before midterm elections this week as Republicans and Democrats fiercely campaigned for seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. This Republican-Democrat contest was the hottest in years as voters debated over which candidates would be the most likely to lift the United States out of a morass marked by near-double-digit unemployment, sluggish economic growth and a terrifying $1.29 trillion budget deficit. Although Republicans were poised to take control of Congress, a significant number of seats remained vulnerable until the very end. Read full story...
