    Cypress Semi CEO: "Big Gov't Spending the Wrong Path"

    TJ Rodgers is unlike any other CEO in this country for a whole host of reasons.  I respect him because he founded companies, bought floundering ones and turned them into money-makers, and he's an independent thinker.  You don't have to agree with his Libertarian focus on every level but you *have* to listen to the interview below about what he thinks of both Democrat and Republican government spending and how it is so far from the real answer to the economic stability and success question.  Specifically, he thinks the Obama Administration is spending too much, but he launches a zinger at the Bush Administration as ... read more

    No Wrinkles For Now in NuSkin's Biz Plan

    I love it when a company quietly goes about its business and kicks major tail. NuSkin (NUS) came on Countdown to the Closing Bell today in a Fox Business Exclusive.  They're doing just that. They make anti-aging products that aren't cheap.  Some of their "serums" cost upwards of $400 but guess what? Customers don't care.  The company matched estimates, they're growing right and left, and Asia is their biggest customer right now. Best part for investors? The stock is up 142% year-to-date. Wha? In THIS ... read more

    Gold Will Continue to Glitter

    So says George Gero of RBC who's one of our favorite metals traders at Fox Business.  Gold skyrocketed to an all-time new record high today on dollar weakness.    I had anticipated this and brought in my fancy little Krugerrand my dad gave me years ago.  He actually kept them hidden in the wall of our house in L.A., explaining that "if the Nazis ever came, they wouldn't take dollar bills."  There's something so poignant about that mentality that frankly a lot of people who lived through or during the Holocaust still have.  ... read more

    Food Deflation and The Ultimate Cookie Recipe

    For some reason, my inner Martha Stewart came out this weekend and I rushed to the grocery store to get ingredients for... THE ULTIMATE COOKIE. This is a recipe a trainer gave me at Bally's Scandinavian in Cleveland (yes, I belonged in the '90's).  It involves eggs, butter, oats, etc.  I'm not Miss Domestic or anything but I do know that one year ago, every single ingredient except *maybe* the baking soda was MORE expensive.  Today, food prices have come down, particularly for eggs. Back in March, Egg Industry (yes, ... read more

    The U.S. Dollar is 'Way Oversold'???

    The chorus of dollar bears has gotten louder and louder as each week goes by.  "It's heading to post-war 'Deutschemarks-filling-a-wheel-barrow-just-to-buy-a-loaf-of-bread' status!" "We're printing too much money and the dollar will be horribly devalued!" "Interests rates are too low to prop up the greenback!" But today a lone voice emerged on Fox Business to say, "WE'RE LONG THE DOLLAR." Steve Leuthold of Leuthold Weeden Capital Management came on Countdown to the Closing Bell to say that, as a trade (meaning ... read more
