Model Portfolios Updated
Thanks in part to my special report on Benitec the BTEBY share is now showing a gain. The Down Under management is a bit overwhelmed by the trigger-happy US market but they are quick learners.
Global Investing Update
China caused waves across our portfolio. First of all, in an admission that something was needed to set GNP growth back on track, China cut interest rates in a new stimulus initiative.
Going Green And Saving Green
Today we consider a way to play cheap fuel prices which directly offsets one of our oil plays. Plus, we plan to take the train. And we report on global energy, pharma and food stock happenings.
Special Report: Benitec Biopharma Ltd.
This special report is about Benitec, a stock we recommend, after I spent the morning at its US Investor Day.
Ethics Matter
This truncated brief blog is about ethics.
Bad IR Opportunities
While US company brass get early experience in massaging news, this is not instinctive among foreign companies with American Depositary Receipts listed in this country.

War Fears
Russian tanks, planes, and troops are reportedly crossing the border with eastern Ukraine after the referendum there which violated the terms of the truce between Ukraine and Russia.
Smart Or Lucky?
Festivities for the 25th anniversary of “Die Wallfall”, the fall of the Berlin Wall between the old Communist East Germany and the rest of the world were rather subdued because the now free German railroad workers went on strike. Strikes were illegal in the old German “Workers' Paradise”.
The New Congress
The key reason for the victory dance is that the GOP managed to eliminate Tea Party contenders from major races, mainly by use of vast sums of money.
