Meanwhile, housing is feeling the effects via higher mortgage rates. For portions of last year, a 30-year conventional mortgage carried an interest rate of less than 3.5%. Since the Fed's announcements, the same rate has climbed back to more than 4%. This is sending shivers through homebuilders' stocks, as the net effect is to make homes more expensive.

Yet, in just the few short days I've had to get to know CLWT, I've come to the conclusion that if you're the kind of person who would be just as comfortable taking an extra $1000 to the casino as you would be in putting that money into a brokerage account and putting into a crazy stock, then Euro Tech Holdings may be worth a shot to you.

Seeing the writing on the wall, Lorillard Inc. acquired Blu Ecigs (the ones Jenny McCarthy is promoting) in April of 2012. Reynolds American is now wading waist-deep into e-cig waters, launching a nationwide rollout of its Vuse line of electronic cigarettes latte last ear... complete with television ads (the first time in decades cigarettes have been on TV ads, though Blu followed shortly after that). Altria Group Inc. (NYSE:MO) finally got into the game last August with its MarkTen brand... the last of the major U.S. big tobacco names to get into the electronic cigarette game. And, Imperial Tobacco Group PLC (OTCMKTS:ITYBY) is putting the finishing touches on its acquisition of Dragonlite International's e-cig division.
