Will the Federal Reserve Trigger a Bear Market? History Has Good and Bad News for Investors (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After months of foot-dragging, the Federal Reserve finally hiked its benchmark interest rate last week. Many economists and Fed watchers had expected that rate hike earlier, perhaps back in July, but Fed Chair Kevin Warsh said he and his colleagues waited a bit longer than expected to better assess the underlying causes of persistently elevated inflation. Fair enough. But the Fed's move on rates doesn't look like a one-and-done hike. I wrote an article shortly after the Fed announced its latest
Exxon Could Return to the Venezuelan Field It Was Forced Out of in 2007. Here's What Changed. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What's old is new again. At least, that seems to suddenly be the case for ExxonMobil Holdings (NYSE: XOM). Exxon first went into Venezuela in the 1940s. But over the years, the oil major had its assets in the country expropriated by that nation's government, not once, but twice. The South American nation nationalized the entire oil industry in 1976 under President Carlos Andrés Pérez.

Holders of government bonds have been unloading them in reaction to outsize U.S. debt and elevated inflation, sending their prices lower and their yields, which move in the opposite direction of price, higher. Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" sig
How to Earn $500 a Month From Chevron Stock (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I recently wrote that Chevron (NYSE: CVX) is extremely well-positioned at the moment, given elevated oil prices, a global shortage of refining capacity, and the new deal that will allow U.S. companies to access Venezuelan oil. I'm clearly not the only investor bullish on Chevron. The stock is up 41% year to date, far outperforming both the broader market, which is up 12% this year as measured by the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), and its biggest competitor, ExxonMobil, which is up 38%.
