2004 Highlights

Biiwii.com is born in June, 2004!

Our commentary is published directly by Financial Sense, Safe Haven, 321Gold, &  Gold Eagle and reproduced by many other global sources.

'Now I get it!' presented in its entirety by Richard Russell in his Dow Theory Letters newsletter and quoted by The Daily Reckoning in Who Wants to be a Jillionaire?

Received some nice, positive feedback from members of the financial and academic communities.  This is the kind of thing that keeps us keepin' on here at biiwii. 

Finally, we have received thoughtful email from around the world.  Different perspectives keep us from operating in a vacuum.

2005 Highlights

Der Invest Informant, a Berlin, Germany based financial site, has joined the list of sites now directly publishing our commentary.

Another respected analyst, Rick Ackerman, highlights our views on deflation (made via email response to a thought provoking article by Rick) on his website.

Free Market News Network begins publishing our commentary. 

Seeking Alpha joins the list of sites that regularly publish our work.

2006 Highlights

We are pleased to have our work presented by Bull! Not bull! and even more pleased to present proprietor M.A. Nystrom's work on our site.

Our A Golden Opportunity on the Horizon? was quoted by none other than the Mogambo Guru, AKA Richard Daughty.

And so, we move on.  Our widely published commentary will be less frequent going forward.  We have endeavored to write the truth as we see it regarding the precarious nature of a debt-for-consumption based economy and the dangers therein.  The question then becomes how do you keep writing about simple truths without falling into self-parody?  Answer: You don't.  The fact that you don't get something for nothing is all one needs to know.  From here on, we analyze macro markets and asset classes we consider vital and productive.

Seeking Alpha has entered into an agreement with Yahoo! Finance whereby SA editorial contributors are highlighted in the 'Financial Blogs' category.

We are pleased to have our work presented by Silverstrategies.com.

Trading and investment website WallStreetWindow.com begins publishing our commentary and analysis.

We close out 2006 on an up note with the high quality, information packed gold market website Goldseek.com publishing our analysis.

Our "Actively Managed" Portfolio ends 2006 at +28.3% after a challenging, yet ultimately successful year.

2007 Highlights

We are pleased to be "Seeking Alpha Certified", which in short means that our work is considered by this popular financial website to be of the highest integrity and standards.  This is what we set out to accomplish in 2004 amid (in our opinion) too much hyperbole and gaming in the financial media.

Our work has been picked up by a very discriminating investment website called Best Way To Invest (bestwaytoinvest.com).

Trader's Journal, the Asia Pacific's preeminent trading magazine will present our articles and/or analysis when appropriate for their format.

We wrap up another challenging year (it is never easy, is it?) with an 11.3% gain in the actively managed account.  2007 saw us continue to tone down our own opinion making while adding several analysts we respect to our 'guest commentary' roster.  Analysts like Steve Saville, Bob Hoye, Clif Droke and others.  We are also pleased to present the sobering views of Michael Panzner from the financial-economic side and the colorful James Howard Kunstler from the socio-economic side.  Biiwii.com continues to be a website that brings you only what we consider to be content of the highest quality, regardless of whether it is positive, negative, bullish or bearish... Separately, we have learned that the name of our website, 'But it is what it is' has made Lake Superior State U's list of banished words and phrases.  After four years of putting the phrase out there and operating accordingly (dealing w/ reality) we have either gone big time or gone defunct.  We won't trouble ourselves as to which is the case.  ;-)

2008 Highlights

It is a pleasure to welcome our friend 'Otto Rock' of the Inca Kola News who in real life is a Latin American equities analyst living in and observing this important market.  We also welcome John Browne, Senior Market Strategist for Euro Pacific Capital.  We are trying to bring you the views of people whose main goal is to get it right, not just sell you something.

We take 1st place in the SINLetter stock contest of "top financial bloggers" with a Q1 gain of 21.52% which is no small feat considering the err, problematic markets during this period.  We were the only entry to register a profit and that is not luck; that is what technical analysis can do for you.

We are pleased to welcome Joseph Brusuelas, Chief Economist at the Merk Hard Currency Fund as a financial commentary contributor.  

 

What Makes Us Who We Are

 

We have successfully operated a progressive US-based manufacturing company (servicing the healthcare sector) for 20 years and as its owner since 1997, kept the company's fundamentals in alignment with global economic realities.  The natural progression from this experience is an understanding of and appreciation for global macro-economics as it relates to individual markets and sectors.
 
Along the way, an almost geek-like interest in technical analysis was added to the mix and the result is a financial website that combines macro-fundamentals with supporting technical analysis and the idea that we do not control the markets, we merely try to correctly interpret them.
