• 04.16.08: One Darling of a Stock
  This is a darling of a stock. In fact, Darling (DAR) is one of the top ten stocks in my Emerging Growth portfolio right now. This unique company is performing strongly in all the right areas right now. The best performing segments of the stock market so far in 2008 have been agricultural and green, environmentally friendly companies. And Darling operates right in the sweet spot of both.

• 04.02.08: Investing in Gold: Barrick Gold Paves the Path to Profits

They have the deepest project pipeline in the industry with three projects in the permit process and one under construction, as well as several in the exploration and discovery phase. The company is looking for partners to bid on the Sulchoi field in Russia when that property comes up for sale later this year. Their property in Tanzania has a more than 10 years of gold production left, with capacity in excess of 250,000 ounces a year, while the Dominican Republic project has over 20 years of production capability available at over one million ounces a year.
• 03.21.08: The Only Building Boom Not Headed For a Bust

And it's not just our roadways that are getting older: Sewer systems and electrical plants across the country are also in need of repair and replacement. New Orleans is still in the process of being completely rebuilt. Steam pipes in Manhattan have burst in recent months. Railroads are plagued with broken track, and Amtrak has had continual problems, particularly in the heavily used North East corridor. The states and cities of the United States, along with the Federal Government, are going to have to spend billions to replace or repair our infrastructure in the years ahead. This is great news for my Emerging Growth stocks.
