By WallStreetDaily.com<\/u><\/a> \"What\u2019s<\/p>\n

When a billionaire makes a move, we\u2019re well-inclined to pay attention.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t just mean that philosophically, either.<\/p>\n

The recent launch of the new iBillionaire Index<\/b> (BILLION<\/a>) officially rubberstamps the belief that billionaires own a substantial edge over everyday investors.<\/p>\n

The Index tracks the holdings of over 20 billionaires – including Warren Buffett, George Soros, Carl Icahn, John Paulson, Jorge Lemann, David Tepper, Leon Cooperman, Steve Mandel, Chase Coleman, Daniel Loeb, David Einhorn and Seth Klarman.<\/p>\n

These billionaires enjoy an edge over Wall Street, too.<\/p>\n

Last year, the iBillionaire Index gained 43%, trumping the S&P 500\u2019s 32%.<\/p>\n

Since 2006, however, the spread gets even wider\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, tracking the companies that comprise the Index is where the story really gets juicy.<\/p>\n

The favorite stock among billionaires is Apple<\/b> (AAPL<\/a>).<\/p>\n

No surprise there, right?<\/p>\n

Well, before you rush to buy shares, it\u2019s worth noting that the average price billionaires have paid for Apple is $430. The average price at which these billionaires have sold Apple shares is $600.<\/p>\n

So with Apple trading at $593, closer to where the billionaires have been sellers, is it really a company you should be buying right now?<\/p>\n

Remember, your entry and exit points are infinitely important to your ROI.<\/p>\n

Other favorites among billionaires include American Express<\/b> (AXP<\/a>), Priceline<\/b> (PCLN<\/a>), General Motors<\/b> (GM<\/a>), Micron Technology<\/b> (MU<\/a>), Google<\/b> (GOOGL<\/a>), Yahoo!<\/b> (YHOO<\/a>) and Netflix<\/b> (NFLX<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be tracking the iBillionaire Index very closely, and promise to report any significant changes to its composition.<\/p>\n

The second the billionaires start piling into a stock or dumping shares of another, you\u2019ll be the first to know.<\/p>\n

Onward and Upward,<\/p>\n

Inside the 6.3% Unemployment Rate <\/b><\/p>\n

Wall Street took the May unemployment number of 6.3% as a sign of an improving economy, but details inside the report revealed something entirely different. The May employment report showed nearly 102 million working-age Americans are unemployed – including more than 20% of all American households that don\u2019t have a single employed family member. The May report indicated that the BLS moved 988,000 Americans<\/a> into the \u201cnot in the labor force\u201d category, while 9.75 million Americans<\/a> were categorized as \u201cunemployed.\u201d The additional 988,000 unemployed persons means that 92.02 million<\/a> Americans are not in the labor force, giving us a total of 101.77 million working-age Americans that are currently without a job – an increase of 27 million jobless Americans since 2000. More troubling for the statistically challenged BLS, April showed that 58.9% of working-age Americans had a job, the exact number of working Americans in March – but less than the 60.6% of working-age Americans employed when Barack Obama took office in 2008. That\u2019s a decrease of 2.8%! Shadowstats.com<\/a> estimates the actual unemployment rate is closer to 23%.<\/p>\n

Price Explosion for Gas Carriers<\/b><\/p>\n

Since mid-February, day rates for Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGCs) have exploded in price due to an increase in propane shipments. Prices for shipping natural gas liquids increased more than 300%, to above $100,000 in just over two months. While much of the increase was in response to the brutally cold winter, it appears that shippers are finally seeing the long-awaited increase in global flows of natural gas liquids (NGLs). Analysts at DNB Markets see large potential gains<\/a> in shipping prices, predicting day rates for gas carriers could rise by more than 700% over the next several years. One reason for this belief is the widening of the Panama Canal, which will be a major driver for increased U.S. shipments of NGLs to Asia. The widening project is set to be completed in 2015. Once completed, DNB analysts believe VLGC rates could rise as high as $300,000. Smart investors will look to take advantage of the trends while there\u2019s still time.<\/p>\n
