Liberal Media Destroys the World

Today, the BBC maliciously spread the rumour that Qadaffi was leaving...the said rumour killed the Stock Markets in their tracks...Oil, Gold, and Stocks have all fallen, even though said rumour was 100% false.  In addition the BBC Web Site had no links to such a rumour!

Folks, this is irresponsible, Liberal journalism at it's worst, in their lame attempts to be FIRST with the story!  Much the same as the media on all major networks reported Congresswoman Gifford dead in the Tucson shooting!

Gold and Silver Miscalculation!

OK, after pondering cash position, of 1/3 of Portfolio value as Cash...I increased stakes in Russian and North Sea oil based companies...however did not decrease holdings in Silver and Gold ETF's...bad idea!  Virtual Portfolio is down $500,000 today....Gold and Silver holdings down $5 M...tomorrow is another day!

Go to Cash!

Dumping shares of stocks by the hundreds of thousands...going to cash, Gold, & Silver!  Idiot, market manipulators will be taking profits on Wednesday 3-2-11...screw Qadaffi & Bernanke!

Thank God for Commodities!

Stocks falling, but commodities like Gold, silver, and Oil are surging to all time highs.  Many are predicting (me) $175 /barrel Oil and $1800 Gold.  When this all smacks the average person up the side of his head, it will already be too late!

SEO Marketing on Twitter is Bunk!

WOW, only four Tweeters clicked on my "Win $10,000 Instantly" bait link.  This explains why I have never made one cent on Affiliate advertising in the 6 years my blogs have been on line!


Does this means no one clicks on any links on any site?  My affiliates were always national companies that I use myself, like "Go Daddy"  If no one clicks, what is the point?  It's almost like selling refrigerators to Eskimos!

WIN $100,000 Instantly (Are You Insane?) No!

Let's see how many gullible Tweeters come and look at this "BAIT"!  Really so many Tweeters make all kinds of offers (LIES) to get followers and have their links "clicked"...In 30 years of Marketing, I've never done that.  Never lied or exagerated just to get a sale.  Instead, I've always associated myself with the best products of their kind, told the truth and offered excellent customer service.  This may explain why I  never gotten rich.

So if you clicked on my Tweet and thought that was going to get you $100,000...your both insane and wrong!

World Chaos....Profits Can Soar!

Capitalism at it's finest...making profits on chaos and human misery!  Middle East violence and upheaval raise Oil, Ag Stocks, Gold, and Metals to all time highs! 

When the world collapses in 2012, some will be making a profit, right up to the end.  You can die poor, or you can die rich...but does it really matter in the end?

The End of the Middle Class

Today on CNBC, they have announced (in so many words) the end of the middle class!  Evidently, since 1978 the average per-capita income of $33,000/yr has remained flat into 2011...in statistics double speak, that is actually a huge degrease!  Meanwhile, the upper 1% of income earners has seen a 30% increase in the same time frame! Huh?

Are we all "Wage Slaves" getting the crumbs from the table of the wealthy?  Why would reasonable men put up with this crap?  Why aren't we rioting like in the Middle East?  Are we sheeple?


As I pointed out in a recent Tweet..."Aspire to be rich, not poor!"

Do we need a "Global Minimum Wage"?

Middle East unemployment ranges from 30% to 50%.   In the USA, new figures claim 9%...with real unemployment about 17%.  In Europe and Asia figures reflect the same poor economic numbers.

In Egypt, people live on $2 US per day...less in some African countries.  Jobs flee the US to foreign markets due to lower labor costs (Thanks to overpriced Labor Unions).

What would the repercussion be of a Global Minimum Wage?  In my state of Oregon, the minimum wage is $8.50/hr, one of the highest in the United States. If the GMW was say $3/hr, many jobs would stop fleeing industrialized countries.  The standard of living would rise in undeveloped countries, perhaps stemming illegal immigration.  

In the Global Economy, it sounds like a win-win situation.  Why hasn't such an idea been proposed?  Fear of "The New World Order"?  Ridiculous!

In 2011, with a Global Economy, I propose a Global Minimum Wage is a necessity, both for economic growth and world peace!

"State of the Dis-Union"

 Just in time for President Obama's speech on jobs and the economy, the Stock Market takes a nice nose dive,  jobs and hiring are in decline, commodities and other indicators are down to three month lows...an amazing coincidence?  The only area of the Global Economy that seems to shine is Asia.  One needs to ask, what are they doing different than Europe and the USA?

Bull Market or Bullshit?

Where is the surge in the Stock Market, predicted by some after the November election and Republican majority in Congress?  Where is the bull market & economic recovery touted by Economists the last six months?

Housing is still in the tank, with another significant downturn looming.  Jobs are week or non-existent.  The global industrial countries credit market is in debt to it's eyebrows.  Gas prices are rising, but oil stocks are falling.  I don't see it, my "Virtual Fund" doesn't see it, no one sees it because it isn't happening!  I guess it's all just bullshit!

Why Digital Marketing Is The Way Forward

by: Anita Lyon


Digital marketing solutions are a must for companies attempting to progress into the new age. Standard advertising and marketing tactics are far less effective these days, but why. Well it's pretty simple actually, cost and reach. In days gone by, focusing your entire marketing budget into newspaper, radio or magazine advertising campaigns could be sufficient for some businesses. Nowadays, readership in print media is down almost across the board, and that is largely due to the rise of the internet. Why stop and buy the newspaper when you can get to your office go online and read all the news you can handle without having to hand over any money. With this rise, came the dawn of digital marketing. For many top companies, digital marketing involves a lot more than just public relations. It is an integration of the right technology, equipping your staff with the right skills and streamlining the way you turn browsers into customers. Remember, attracting attention is great, but
paying clients is what you are actually after when you use digital marketing services.

Here are some tips to help you kick-start your journey into the digital marketing era:

• Set goals: Decide what you want to achieve, then you can properly plan the steps needed to get there. When using your website as a marketing tool, consider attracting visitors through Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). You should also integrate a decent analytics system to properly monitor the visitor movement on your site.

• Create an identity: The rise of social media has allowed companies to connect with their customers on a deeper level. It also makes marketing to these interested parties that much more effective.

• Email marketing is a must: Many people will compare email marketing to pamphlet drops. In a way they are similar, except with email marketing it is far more effective both in its ability to attract customers and the number of people it reaches.

• Help your customers: Try using a blog as a standalone marketing tool. Here you can share helpful information about products, share thoughts on certain topics and also provide more in-depth answers that your customers may be searching for.

These are just a few of the things to keep in mind when taking your first step into digital marketing. Although it is quite possible for you to do it yourself, choosing a leading digital marketing company will definitely give you the edge. There has never been a better time than now to implement digital marketing solutions for your company.

What will 2011 Bring?

Two years and counting until 12-21-12.  What economic trends will occur in 2011?  Boom or Bust?

I'll go out on a limb and say the first half of 2011 will be a "Bull Market" worldwide, with a further huge rise in Commodities like gold, rare earths, and oil... as shortages loom.

Pushing further out on this thin limb, the second half of 2011 will be not so good.  New climate calamities, war, and disease will bring down all world markets to their lowest point in 10 years.  In my humble opinion!

COULD I BE AN FUND MANAGER?

Nine business days ago today, I created a 'stock portfolio' for testing purposes, with $1 Billion.  It contains stocks, commodities and ETFs.  It is heavy in gold, silver, oil, natural gas, and pharmaceuticals.  There are no banks, retail, or many technology stocks.  It also contains several Chinese Stocks.  I like commodities and always have, even when it was "real" money.

To date, in nine business days of trading, I have made a $57 Million profit.  Could I be a Fund Manager?

The $1 Billion Gamble

On Monday of this week I invested $1 Billion into my CNBC Portfolio and over the week bought a varied mix of 36 stocks , commodities, pharmaceuticals, and ETFs.  Today at 12:45 ET, I am up $2.4 Million for the day and $6.5 Million for the week.  Of the original amount 35% is still cash, 15% stocks, and 49% ETFs.  I plan on lowering my cash position to 15% next week.

I wish I had done this years ago, with real money! 

"Playing the Game"

Bill Gates, Warren buffet...those guys didn't get $50B+ investing in stocks and bonds.  I managed to triple my money in my 401K in 18 months.  In my game I've made $25,000 in one day (also lost that much)  so I was wondering.....how much does one have to invest to make $1 Million dollar profit in one day?

I added one billion dollars to my "pretend" account.....that's one thousand million dollars!

Even buying blocks of 500,000 shares.......in 30 minutes of stock picking I only manged to 'buy' about $400 Million worth of stock and Gold.  Today,  I only made $230,000.......what the hell?  Tonight I'll see if I can find another $400 million to invest in.  This is harder than I thought it would be!

Market Stretegy for Monday October 18, 2010

I dumped all my ETF's stock, etc to cash...except for my favorite Gold ETF (GLD) of which I took a position of 1000 shares.

Further terrorist threats on European targets, notably France may cause concern to the Euro and hopefully, for me, run up the price of  gold.  Yes folks, evil Capitalists make money in tragedy and war.

Rise of the Machines

Great segment on "60 Minutes" last night in regards to trading, as much as 70%, of all stock trades by Supercomputers!  They are taking over.  It also explains how folks using 'math' are creating market trends that have no basis in world events...they are being "logical" instead.  Well I can see this being regualted after the next computer driven melt-down!

Doom and Gloom in the US Market

I have been lucky to be able to use my friends laptop, while he is visiting China for three months.  I have been able to watch the open of the Asian Markets, watch them mostly rise, and feeling optimistic, bet heavy on a positive US Market rise.  Nos so fast...as Asia rise, Europe and the USA have fallen.  Today, October 4th is a good example.


My paper portfolio, heavy for the first time in US stocks, lost over $10,000 this AM, before I could dump them and switch to Asian stocks and ETF's.  For the time being i am going back to 100% Asia, commodities like GOLD, and Chinese ETF's and short the DOW.
I will stop being "Optimistic" and go back to not trading on a Friday or a Monday!  I did quite well following my "gut" feeling about that.

Let chaos reign!

The Federal Reserve

Many anti-federalists oppose big Federal Government.  They want to return the power to the states and local governments, thinking in error, that will protect their constitutional rights somehow.

The real power of the Federal Government is the Federal Reserve System and it's Chairmen, yielding power to almost rival that of the President

Why don't these "New-Federalists" propose the abolishment of the Federal Reserve, an agency that has outlived it time.

Today for example the world economy was shaking in it's boots, awaiting a few lame crumbs from the Reserve Chairman...markets fell worldwide in anticipation of bad news!  Only now, prior to the close, have they marginaly rose higher.

I say it's time for the Dictatorship of the Federal Reserve to end!
