“In a fundamental shift, consumers are saving rather than spending,” notes the Los Angeles Times. This is the shift we’ve been talking about for months. The great credit expansion of 1945-2007 is over. Now cometh the great credit contraction.

During the bubble years, more and more credit produced less and less real prosperity. It was as if you were borrowing more and more, to invest in your business or merely to increase your standard of living, but your income didn’t rise fast enough to keep up with the interest payments.

In 2005, Americans saved nothing. Not even aluminum foil or string. Now, the savings rate is approaching 5% of disposable income - a big turnaround.

We know from logic and experience that saving money - not spending it - is the key to getting wealthier. Saving money gives you capital. And it’s capital accumulation - in the form of factories, roads, ships, buildings,

Once again, gold and silver mirrored each other’s price moves all through Thursday trading around the world. The high in the Far East in both metals was about 3:30 p.m. in Hong Kong…and from there, the trend was down. This trend picked up some steam about 10:00 a.m. in London and continued to accelerate to the down-side right through the Comex open. But around 8:45 a.m. in New York, gold and silver found a savior, as both metals turned on a dime…with gold picking up a hair over $20…and silver up 66 cents…from bottom-to-top during Comex trading.

It was all too good to last of course, as once the Comex floor traders went their merry ways, electronic trading took some of those gains back. However, both metals finished in the plus column yesterday…but gold just barely made it…up a whopping 40 cents!

I’ve commented before [several times over the last couple of

OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- April 30, 2009 -- Homeowners in Ontario will have the opportunity to reduce their home energy costs, thanks to the new Solar Water Heating Program.

In last week's edition of Trading Tools, Owens Corning (OC) was examined, as it appeared on the Zacks Unusually High Option Volume filter. Utilizing the same screener again this week in an effort to find a stock on options players' radars, one equity caught my eye: auto-parts issue Magna International Inc. (MGA).

< ?DART(15);?> Before we begin, let's explain the contrarian stance that makes Schaeffer's so unique. When searching for a bullish pick, we like to see heavy skepticism toward an outperforming stock, as this leaves ample room for upgrades or other positive catalysts to fuel the stock higher. When searching for a bearish pick, on the other hand, contrarians are looking for significant bullish sentiment toward an underperforming stock, as we believe an excess of optimism is a sign that everyone has already bought into the stock and sideline money is virtually
