Also a list of insider buying has been going on. It isnt showing up on the graphic on scottrade yet but the SEC filings are showing them
Looks like it will cross this week. Looking great, also I see there was an insider buy on the S&P report. Always a good sign
I agree fundamentally and technically.
I think another breakout to the upside is on the horizon (looking at the Williams %R). I'm not a huge fan of TA, I'm a fundamentalist, but I notice a pattern with this indicator and a breakout immediately following. IMO of course
Infrastructure Investing 101
November 18, 2010
http://www.usfunds.com/investor-resources/frank-talk/
When you envision America’s future, do you picture collapsing bridges, cracking dams and reoccurring brownouts? That’s certainly not the picture of America many would like to paint but it is a possibility if our country’s long-term infrastructure needs aren’t addressed.
A new article from researchers at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania (America’s Aging Infrastructure: What to Fix, and Who Will Pay?) details the precarious nature of neglecting our nation’s network of pipelines, ports and power lines.
Here are some of the paper’s eye-popping statistics:
•The U.S. has about 2.5 million miles of natural gas pipelines operated by roughly 3,000 different companies. More than half of America’s natural gas transmission pipelines were installed before 1970.
•About 75-80 percent of the value of U.S. freight is moved via truck on our nation’s highways.
•Government mandates and subsidies have pushed alternative energy sources up to 17 percent of Germany’s overall power supply, while that figure is roughly 1-2 percent in the U.S.
•Less than 20 percent of America’s infrastructure is publicly owned.
President Obama has pledged $50 billion to rebuild 150,000 miles of roads, 4,000 miles of rails and 150 miles of runways but that’s only a fraction of the amount of investment needed. If America is going to give its infrastructure a comprehensive makeover, a considerable amount of investment will need to come from the private sector and this hasn’t happened yet.
Why haven’t U.S. investors embraced infrastructure investing?
A recent article from DealBook says that many of these private investors have found better opportunities abroad as foreign governments seek to privatize state entities, involve less politics and face fewer delays.
In our Global MegaTrends Fund (MEGAX), we employ a two-pronged approach to investing in infrastructure to offset some of the delays and disappointments often experienced with infrastructure investing.
First, we have taken positions in several infrastructure operators of toll roads, airports and utilities. In general, these companies possess stable cash flows, have regulated profits and pay a dividend.
One such company is Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, which operates airports in Cancun and southeast Mexico. As tourism traffic grows with an improving global economy and yield per passenger improves, so, in our opinion, should the company’s margins and profits.
Across the Atlantic, we’ve taken a similar position in Tav Havalimanlari, an airport operator based in Istanbul, Turkey. Tav is benefitting from Turkey’s 10.3 percent GDP growth (year-over-year) and overall growth in the region. Istanbul is only three hours by air from every major city in Europe and the airport has become a major transit hub for the region. In addition, Tav has stakes in the major airports of Macedonia, Georgia and Latvia.
Infrastructure opportunities aren’t always outside the U.S. border. Companies such as American Tower and Crown Castle provide much needed cellular and wireless infrastructure and are companies we currently hold positions in. There’s also pipeline operator NuStar Energy, which has more than 8,000 miles of pipelines and 93 million barrels of storage capacity around North America and overseas.
Second, we invest in the manufacturers and equipment makers that provide the heavy equipment needed to construct and maintain the world’s streets, sewers and electrical grids. Globally, many of these companies have seen a rise in equipment orders which has historically been a precursor to a pickup in construction activity.
The time to invest in America’s future is now, before the lights go out and the bridges fall down.
MA50 is about to cross the MA200...
Great job... yes, it seems to be on a roll.
I bought in about a month ago and its been up about 17%. This company has a great cash balance, no debt, good potential growth opportunities with the economic downturn in investing in gold and natural resources. Also monthly dividends confirmed through the end of the year. Overall I say its a Buy
Blessings,

flatlining at this point...
That capitulation back in June was all this need to start moving up.
This has taken a dump of about +50% from the most recent highs...
just a lot of sideways here... hmmmmmm...
How quickly things change... bearish price objective is under $4 on the P&F chart...
Weakness into the year end did not affect the bullish outlook on the P&F chart...
I need to remake this i-Box...
And it still is... but I'm not convinced.
So, I look today and the bearish price is in play at $6... sheeeeesh!!!
See the P&F chart... bullish price objective... $22+!!!
OK so only two Ihub GROW folk...
Care about a 36% increase on Friday, a stock that pays $.02 dividend per month?
I've been in GROW and hold some long, but it is also nice to flip a few FJ.
This is still steadily and upwardly trending.
Funny, this stock flew after I asked that last Q!!!
I wonder if this is what Warren Buffett calls a good buying opportunity... sure has taken a beating again.

IMF Gets Bearish on Global Growth
http://www.usfunds.com/franktalk/
It’s official from the IMF: October was a rough month.
So rough, in fact, that the agency has trimmed its world growth forecast by 25 percent from just a month ago.
The International Monetary Fund is now forecasting a 2.2 percent global growth rate for 2009, down from 3.75 percent in 2008. In October, its prediction was around 3 percent.
Emerging markets are expected to see the strongest contractions—about 1 percent on average. But even so, most should see growth rates around 5 percent or even higher.
Commodity exporters like Brazil were marked down the most, while China suffered less of a revision because of improved trade terms and easing macroeconomic policy.
That’s the bad news. The good news is the forecast stresses the importance of more macro moves.
Overview of the World Economic Outlook Projections
World Output Year Over Year Projections
2008 2009
United States 1.4 -0.7
Euro Area 1.2 -0.5
Japan 0.5 -0.2
Russia 6.8 3.5
China 9.7 8.5
India 7.8 6.3
Middle East 6.1 5.3
Brazil 5.2 3.0
“Monetary policy may not be enough because monetary easing may be less effective in the face of difficult financial conditions and deleveraging,” the IMF says. “Fiscal stimulus can be effective if it is well targeted, supported by accommodative monetary policy, and implemented in countries that have fiscal space.”
The weightings are still the same...
This fund will win with Obama initiatives...
With the recent downturn in the markets, seemingly, the bottom is near...
I am surprised by the lack of interest here and no moderator... maybe I can help.
The weightings of the fund investments are poised for growth with less than half in the US...
This fund is moving up because of the trend of the whole sector which is in a megatrend.
I just hopped back in this stock again I played it a few times over the last year. The % of shorts is kinda higher now I see
I think this rise was supported by the news that the fed will cut the discount rate and possible fed fund cut.. so this kinda drove the shorters to cover.
nvm the post was long time ago

Our Funds - U.S. Global InvestorsU.S. Global Investors, Inc. is a boutique investment advisor specializing in emerging markets and natural resources. Our portfolio managers travel the earth researching opportunities and evaluating risk, all in the pursuit of exceptional performance for our funds. Explore our 13 no-load mutual funds, ranging from natural resources, emerging markets and infrastructure, to money market, bond and domestic funds. We believe that we are specially qualified to be an integral part of your investment strategy. |
Global Resources Fund (PSPFX)The Global Resources Fund takes a diversified approach to the natural resources sector by investing in energy and basic materials. The fund invests in companies involved in the exploration, production and processing of petroleum, natural gas, coal, alternative energies, chemicals, mining, iron and steel, and paper and forest products, and can invest in any part of the world. Gold and Precious Metals Fund (USERX)The Gold and Precious Metals Fund is the first-no load gold fund in the U.S. We have a history as pioneers in portfolio management in this specialized sector. Our team brings valuable background in geology and mining finance, important to understanding the technical side of the business. The fund focuses on producers, companies currently pulling gold or other precious minerals out of the ground. These companies, often called “seniors,” generally have the largest market caps in the mining sector. World Precious Minerals Fund (UNWPX)The World Precious Minerals Fund complements our Gold and Precious Metals Fund by giving investors increased exposure to junior and intermediate mining companies for added growth potential. With a high level of expertise in this specialized sector, our portfolio management team includes professionals with experience in geology, mineral resources and mining finance. China Region Fund (USCOX)The China Region Fund invests in one of the world’s fastest-growing regions. The China region has experienced many changes since the fund opened in 1994 but we believe the region continues to hold further investment opportunities. Many countries in the region possess characteristics similar to the United States prior to the industrial revolution: a thriving, young workforce, migration from rural to urban areas and shifting sentiment toward consumption. Eastern European Fund (EUROX)The Eastern European Fund focuses on a region that is still in the early stages of industrial, economic and market development in the post-Soviet era. The region is rich in natural resources and many of the countries have only recently begun to embrace capitalist government policies. Global Emerging Markets Fund (GEMFX)The Global Emerging Markets Fund offers a diversified portfolio of investments in emerging markets around the world. Rapid economic growth is taking place in rising powerhouses Brazil, Russia, India and China, and other emerging markets. Truly global in its approach, the fund invests in developing countries from nearly every continent. Global MegaTrends Fund (MEGAX)The Global MegaTrends Fund seeks large-scale and sustainable growth opportunities as evidenced by major capital expenditures in a sector, country, or region. We’ve identified global infrastructure as such a megatrend, making it the key focus for the fund’s investments. Unlike competing infrastructure funds, the Global MegaTrends Fund takes a “picks and shovels” approach. This means not only investing in particular projects but also in the tools, equipment, companies and people that are needed to build or service a project. We see infrastructure as a broad theme that includes both growth and income opportunities, in emerging markets and the developed world. Within the infrastructure megatrend there are many promising investment opportunities in companies that supply basic materials, metals, energy and a wide range of services. All American Equity Fund (GBTFX)The All American Equity Fund invests in the growth of America by seeking “All American” companies with the best prospects for growth. Offering the opportunity to invest right here at home, often in well-recognized names, the fund invests at least 80 percent of its assets in “All American” companies. The portfolio management team uses a variety of investment strategies to select companies identified as having superior growth, profitability and quality relative to companies in the same industry. Holmes Growth Fund (ACBGX)The Holmes Growth Fund seeks to identify those companies that have the greatest potential for growth. The portfolio management team uses a variety of investment strategies to search for companies suitable for investment in the fund. The team looks for companies that have proven management and sound financial strength, and whose stock price is low in light of the company’s earnings and cash flow. Tax Free Fund (USUTX)The Tax Free Fund invests in municipal bonds issued by state and local governments across the country, with the goal of consistent superior performance in the municipal arena. The Tax Free Fund invests in bonds that the portfolio management team believes will perform well in the long run, with a focus on providing a higher level of tax-free income. Near-Term Tax Free Fund (NEARX)The Near-Term Tax Free Fund invests in municipal bonds with relatively short maturity. The fund seeks to provide tax-free monthly income and stability by investing in debt securities issued by state and local governments from across the country. U.S. Government Securities Savings Fund (UGSXX)The U.S. Government Securities Savings Fund is designed to be used as an investment where you can park funds needed for a financial goal or as a refuge when you need safety of principal. The fund accrues dividends daily and pays them to you monthly. Its yield will reflect the current market rates of government securities. U.S. Treasury Securities Cash Fund (USTXX)The U.S. Treasury Securities Cash Fund seeks to offer a high degree of safety for your savings plus the convenience of check writing. The fund accrues dividends daily and pays them to you monthly. |
