As I sat down to write our weekly wrap-up for Smart Investing Daily, breaking news hit the news wires.
Word of an explosion in Oslo, Norway... Windows in the 17-story building where the prime minister had his office were blown out, and the nearby oil ministry was on fire.
Early reports say that Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg was not injured, but first words on the ground say witnesses have seen eight people injured, and a mangled wreck of a car in front of one of the buildings.
Our thoughts are with Oslo, and the families of those injured in the blast.
Here's what we talked about this week.
Should You Invest in Natural Gas?
We've been talking an awful lot about oil and oil companies, but what about natural gas? Is this other fossil fuel a good investment right now? The short answer: yes. The simple reason: China. China has invested billions of dollars into natural gas over the past five years...
And China's not stopping yet. And that puts natural gas back on investors' radars. Read Monday's Smart Investing Daily for the key details of this industry.
We Could End Up Buying All of Our Oil From China in the Next 5 Years The Chinese government just made a power move to undercut OPEC and the United States. They're building a new "oil colony," with potentially more oil than Saudi Arabia. Over 100 billion barrels. For now, very few people know the location of this oil. If you invest right away, you could make a fortune as the world wakes up to China's plot. Read this report for more details on China's plot. |
Even You Will Want This Electric Car
Zero to 60 in 5.6 seconds... stylish, high-quality leather interior... a luxury price tag of $50,000... and a 250-mile battery charge. Wait, what? This isn't a BMW 535i. This is the "S," the new electric car from Tesla Motors (TSLA:NASDAQ), and it's set the luxury world humming.
With gas still over $3.50 a gallon, and competitors getting only 100 miles per charge, this Tesla could change the electric car industry. Jared has more on the car and the company in Tuesday's Smart Investing Daily.
More Income, Less Risk
Today's market fluctuations are really taking a toll on profits. If you're sitting on gains, you'd better protect them. Our Smart Investment Strategies edition on Wednesday gave you a tool to do just that. It's a deceptively simple tool that Wall Street insiders would rather you didn't know about.

Could China Go Dark?
A little-known report was released by China's government. It showed that five of the country's southern provinces are going to see power shortages next quarter. Indeed, last quarter, these five provinces fell short by 9.01 gigawatts of power.
Is it any wonder that China's shelling out billions for international energy deals? Find out about the latest acquisition in Thursday's Smart Investing Daily.
Wall Street Insiders Are Worried
On the surface, the market looks pretty good. The rallies have kept the Dow above 12,000, and investors seem happy. But what are the big fish doing? Are Wall Street insiders as happy as the markets look? No, and that has Jared worried.
The big fish don't want you to know how nervous they are, and that they've been quietly going bearish... But Jared is revealing their "secret hideout"... where they're really putting their money. Pay attention to Friday's Smart Investing Daily.
