Our inbox has been filling up with one big question from investors: "What are the best investments before the Fed QE taper occurs?"
The answer to this question has just altered dramatically, and here's why.
U.S. President Barack Obama yesterday (Wednesday) nominated U.S. Federal Reserve vice chairwoman Janet Yellen to replace Ben Bernanke as Fed chief.
Here's what to expect, so you can start planning ahead...
Yesterday (Wednesday), Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald appeared on CNBC World to talk about Janet Yellen as Next Fed Chair.

Investors have started to hunt for how to prepare for the debt ceiling deadline since U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew put a date on the day the country will hit its borrowing limit.
"If we have insufficient cash on hand, it would be impossible for the United States of America to meet all of its obligations for the first time in history," Lew wrote in a letter to Congress sent Sept. 25, when he noted that Oct. 17 is the day we hit the debt ceiling.

There's a new global capital shift that's affecting how to invest in natural gas today for maximum profit.
You see, there was a time when U.S. manufacturing companies invested heavily in the Middle East because of the region's low-cost energy sources.
Today, that money is coming back home.
International companies have noticed that the United States is a cheap source of natural gas. That's because the rise of hydraulic fracturing triggered a boom in U.S. natural gas production.
