The Fed Hikes: Enhancing My 5.2% Yielding Fixed Income Portfolio
I am an Industrial Engineer by profession and have deep experience with a wide variety of financial instruments. I have tested various approaches over the years to shape an effective and sustainable investment approach. I believe in a long term investment horizon as oppose to shorter term trading and speculation. Everyone can build their investment objective around sustainable growth and income over the medium and long term. The best would be to invest as early as possible or simply manage your own investments for your retirement.I am not subscribing to pundit hints and the latest hot stock tips that might potentially skyrocket (or not). I rather focus on proven excellent performance, quality and fundamentals for future growth.Being industry, sub-industry and sector biased can negatively impact on portfolio performance and the best investment portfolios focus on top quality and growth potential which is sector agnostic. Effective diversification is required to achieved sustainable long term growth but over-diversification can lead to lower performance.Opportunity costs in investments are often overlooked and I believe that investments must be selected by critically comparing the opportunity costs to peers and concentrating funds towards best in class while maintaining sufficient diversification.My investment approach is flexible enough to support a wide variety of investor profiles with a careful combination of best opportunities for growth, income and manageable volatility. Yield and yield growth is an important factor to provide income in sideways and even declining markets as it can be used for living expenses or reinvestment.Investrava Analytics is all about Investment Simplified for All to address High Income, Dividend Growth, Growth and ETFs with great integration of income and growth enjoying best of both worlds, suitable for younger and older investors.

Refineries Are Now the Main Chokepoint for Global Energy Supplies
Persian Gulf states and Russia have invested tens of billions of dollars in refineries over the past decade to grab a bigger share of the global diesel market. Now, war in both regions has sent exports plunging, squeezing supplies of a fuel that powers much of the global economy.
Diesel prices are soaring—they eclipsed $6 a gallon in the U.S. for the first time last week and have kept climbing, hitting $6.45 on Friday. The surge has rattled governments and markets around the world that rely on diesel as the workhorse of their industry, transportation and agriculture. Shortages have appeared at gas stations in rural Brazil, in Libya and some African nations that can’t afford to import the fuel.
