FeedTheBull offers a creative and unique platform to give the investment community a Voice! in the market and provides a place to freely transfer ideas. We provide a new and innovative way for investors to share information on companies, industries, and the market by allowing users to manage all of the content on the website. All members are allowed to submit articles, blogs, and news on a stock, a company, the market, or the economy. As the user submits an article, they have the ability to voice their opinions on the article. This gives them the ability to tell the rest of the community whether or not an article is relevant and can be trusted, because let’s face it - there are hundreds of thousands of news sources out there, how can any one person find their way through all of the information out there and know whether or not it is trustworthy? By allowing all users to submit their own content, whether it is an article or blog found while doing research or something they wrote, and having the community effectively regulate the news by commenting and voting on the submissions, we have created a “trusted” news source for everyone. Instead of one author, we have created a "democratized collective intelligence."

I read recently that copper producers are complaining about the skyrocketing costs of sulfuric acid. A few days later, I read about Mosaic, a fertilizer company – about how the rising cost of sulfuric acid could impact its profit margins. Then last week, I came across a piece about how the cost of treating water is “going through the roof.” The main culprit is, once again, the rising price of sulfuric... Read Full Story

Don’t believe all the gloom and doom you read…
The U.S. housing bust may be just about over. We should be darn close to the bottom… possibly within one year of it.
You probably don’t believe me. That’s okay. I’m used to being the contrarian – it’s a position I prefer to be in actually. But bear with me, and at least hear me out…
Today, I’ll share with you two simple facts that explain where we are now in housing and why we could be close to the bottom. Let’s... Read Full Story

The amount of liquid savings I keep in gold would make the average investor choke.
In fact, on the occasions when I have told people how much of my money is in gold, they think I’m nuts. Gold represents more than 50% of my savings.
When folks hear that, they think I’m making a crazy speculation on the price of gold. Or they think I’m an eccentric.
I tell them gold is the safest place to keep your money. It’s the modern equivalent of putting cash under the mattress... Read Full Story

In 1986, the U.S. government created a tax loophole for a handful of special American businesses…
The government wanted to give these businesses a big incentive to expand the national infrastructure. So it gave them an incredible advantage: They don’t have to pay corporate tax.
Today, 88 businesses qualify for this exemption under the government’s rules. They are all publicly traded. The government calls these stocks “master limited partnerships” (MLPs... Read Full Story

In 1993, a poor family in rural Nicaragua took me in.
I didn’t know them. I met their teenage son, Alfonso, on the side of the road when I asked him for directions. His hospitality was incredible. We ended up eating dinner at their house that night… And Alfonso’s family took us in for days.
The family had nothing… No utilities. No running water. My “bedroom” had a dirt floor. We ate chicken with rice and beans twice a day.
They... Read Full Story

Joe is the financial version of a suicide bomber.
He’s a veteran trader with great instincts and a sharp, analytical mind. And he’d be worth millions today if he’d just stop blowing himself up.
I hadn’t seen Joe for a few months until I ran into him yesterday. He didn’t look good. His face was pale and drawn, and sported the remnants of a three-day beard. His eyes were bloodshot. And his breath reeked of alcohol.
It was 10:00... Read Full Story

Last month, I stood inside a shovel the size of a two-car garage.
A colleague and I flew to Alberta and drove from Edmonton to Fort McMurray to visit an area I call America’s Gas Tank… the Canadian tar sands.
The drive took five and a half hours along what some people call the “ world’s most dangerous highway .” It’s a narrow road traveled constantly by heavy trucks. Near Edmonton, the landscape is rolling dairy farms, dotted... Read Full Story

If you had invested $10,000 with Ken Heebner 10 years ago, you’d have $99,638 today.
That’s how much Ken’s CGM Focus Fund has returned since 1998. The annualized gain has been nearly 26% a year… which is even more impressive when you consider that, over the last 10 years, stocks have done nothing. Cash in the bank (earning interest) has beaten the stock market!
Ken’s CGM Focus Fund (CGMFX) is the best-performing U.S. stock mutual fund over the last 10 years... Read Full Story

For the past several years, the Pilbara Region of Western Australia has witnessed a boom like few mining districts have ever seen.
I’ve been covering the Pilbara and its huge iron ore deposits since moving to Australia three years ago. I consider the place ground zero in the resource bull market. Like most bull markets today, the Pilbara’s boom is related to Australia’s neighbor to the north, China. China is... Read Full Story

The name “Nifty Fifty” came to represent the “one-decision” stocks of the early 1970s.
They were the Cokes and the Disneys of the world… Fifty names you always bought simply because you couldn’t go wrong owning them. Or so investors thought…
Believe it or not, these “boring” names soared in the early 1970s, reaching a dot-com style peak in 1972.
In 1972, Coke sold for 46 times earnings. And Disney was even more expensive, at 71 times earnings... Read Full Story
