Saving cash for a rainy day!
- With all asset markets still red hot, except Arabian stock markets, investors might be aghast at the idea of saving up cash for a rainy day rather than putting money to work in global capital markets. But as Arabian stock investors have recently learned asset prices can peak and be bought back more cheaply later, but only if you have cash available.

Which asset class next for Gulf investors?
- Take the world’s most liquid region. Add a local stock market crash. Will the result be an exit to foreign markets, and a return to the petrodollar flows of the later 1970s, or will investors find some new asset class to interest them?

Should Middle East equity investors hold-on or sell-out?
- The past weeks have been tough times for GCC equity investors, and AME Info has received dozens of emails from shareholders anxious about the future.

Is this the last great buying opportunity for gold?
- Those who predicted that gold would suffer a sell-off at $500 an ounce were proven hopelessly wrong in the first seven weeks of 2006. The yellow metal has soared past the $570 barrier and its present retreat to above $540 an ounce is probably the last great buying opportunity before prices head to much higher levels.

Where next for the Doha, Dubai and Abu Dhabi bourses?
- Investors in the UAE and Qatar have become accustomed to rising stock prices but so far 2006 has seen these three bourses solidly in negative territory. This follows a formidable rise in share prices during 2005, albeit with two nasty corrections that alerted some savvy investors that the end of the party was in sight.
