Remember the Presidential Promise? "No family, making less than $250k a year, will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your captial gains taxes, not any of your taxes."

Americas citizens face if the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire.

Dear Members,
There's no denying that China has become a country of
serious power. With that power, comes worldwide consequences for all of her
actions.
Right now, no one is certain which way China is heading.
Will China continue this massive growth and fuel the world economy? Or is there
a bubble waiting to burst?
China bulls will say the country is still in the early stage of economic development. Combine this with their government's power and riches, its growth could continue to
blossom, sending many stocks higher.
Meanwhile, there are plenty of bears calling
for a bubble as the government scrambles to curb property speculation while
pumping billions of stimulus dollars into expansion.
There's a very fine line between whose right or wrong. Maybe
there's a bubble...maybe not. But at the end of the day, China is not going
anywhere. As a matter of fact, they're still growing - and fast.
China On Top
Back in June 2007, China surpassed the U.S. and became the
world's top emitter of greenhouse gases. Three years later, China has topped
the U.S. once again to become the
world's largest consumer of energy. According to the International Energy
Agency (IEA), China overtook the U.S. in energy consumption sometime last year and was not expected to overtake the U.S. in energy consumption until
at least 2015.
Those who continue to doubt the growth of China and its
ability to continue should think again. In 2000, the US consumed twice as much
energy as China. In less than 10 years, China has not only caught up, but has
now surpassed the US in energy consumption.
Three years ago China was a net exporter of coal. This
year it is expected they will become the world's largest coal importer, beating
out Japan. China has also become Saudi Arabia's largest oil customer -- a
position held for decades by the U.S.
But wait, they're not finished.
China is now the world's biggest
investor in energy-efficient technology. Furthermore, they already have plans to spend close to $800 billion dollars on saving energy.
Let`s not forget that China is still on track to surpass
Japan this year as the world's second largest economy after the U.S.
So while there continues to be talk of a major bubble in
China, one thing is for certain...
China Needs Energy
According to IEA statistics, more than half of China's total energy in 2009
came from coal, a heavy polluter that accounts for less than a quarter of U.S.
consumption.
Oil (the No. 1 energy source in the U.S., accounting for nearly half the
total) made up less than a fifth of the Chinese energy total. But that is
already changing as more Chinese trade their bicycles for cars.
Last year, China passed the U.S. as the biggest auto market by number of
vehicles sold. Passenger vehicle
sales in China jumped from 326,000 in 1995 to 8.7 million in 2009. That number is expected to soar to 13.5 million
vehicles in 2015.
So while coal provided most of China's energy, oil will not be too far behind. That is why we have seen China buying up oil from all across the globe, including Canada's oil sands.
State-owned Chinese
energy companies have forged multibillion-dollar deals in Central Asia, Africa
and Latin America to secure access to oil and gas supplies.
And despite investments by China for cleaner energy, we are still many years away from adaptable technology that will make any major impact on oil demand.
That is why we expect strong long-term growth for oil and gas companies in the next few years. Remember, U.S. oil demand is still 20% below its all-time
high due to this recent recession. When things pick up, demand will increase and there will be yet another shortage of oil supplies to fuel the boom.
Output will need to rise to keep up with demand from both China and the U.S. This will lead to yet another strong oil spike in the coming years.
Remember, there are now two world powers fighting for energy - and both of them use a lot of it.
Until next time,

Is Now a Good Time to Buy Gold?
By Jeff Clark, Senior Editor, Casey's Gold and Resource Report
While we're convinced gold and gold stocks are destined for much
higher levels, buying when prices are low can mean the difference
between a double or triple and a ten-bagger... a week in Malibu vs. a
week in Milan.
There's no secret formula to buying low, and we aren't holding
the right hand of Midas, but there are periods when prices tend to be
lower than others. And if those tendencies play out, it can give us
the opportunity to snag a high-quality asset at a bargain price.
So, how do you get a bargain price? You cheat.
I think the secret to getting a low-cost basis on all your
gold and gold stocks is this: only buy on significant price pullbacks.
And this can be done without trading or using technical analysis.
I think there's a good chance we can cheat this summer. For
example, here are the average monthly increases in gold since our bull
market began in 2001.
In our current 9-year bull market, June and August have seen
the lowest average return for gold, representing one of the best times
to buy. You'll see that in the bull market of the 1970s, summer was also a good time to buy gold.
What about gold stocks? Since 2001, June and July have been among the weakest months and thus one of the best times to buy.
Obviously, these are price tendencies and not certainties.
There were Junes when gold was up, and some Julys when gold stocks
were up. Meaning, we'd avoid using these charts for trading purposes
or in anticipation of an immediate gain. Instead, use these
"trendencies" to look for possible price weakness. And if it arrives,
use the opportunity to add to your holdings and position yourself for
the next leg up in the bull market.
What are the odds of a correction in gold and gold stocks this summer?
