If you missed the incredible run up in shares of Ford, Newcastle or Hecla mining, among hundreds of others, you have another chance to grab the gold ring.
A new segment in computer hardware/software is about to explode. I'm talking about computer security, and in particular encryption technology. Encryption is now available with the purchase of software operating systems like Windows 7.
With this new technology everything printed to your hard drives or storage devices is encrypted with the latest impenetrable code specific to your machine.
Also anything streaming into your machine, like e-mail or social network sites for example, would also be encrypted.
Networks for universities and businesses, hospitals, insurance data banks, and banks in general will all be secure, or at least more secure, from hackers than ever before. Some have already begun to use this technology.
Where they are getting this technology is from a little-known company called Wave Systems. WAVX will soon be licensing this technology all over the globe,
not just to Microsoft.
The company has seen its revenues and earnings grow at a 50% clip year-over-year and they are just getting started. Earnings are poised to explode. If you are building for the future, grab your surfboard and catch the WAVE.
Here is what Yahoo Business has to say:
“Interest in data protection has been growing as the incidents of data breach have escalated. Legislation in many jurisdictions now requires tough penalties, as well as public disclosure, when personally identifiable information is mishandled.
That's led many SMBs and enterprises to explore implementing full disk encryption. With the much-publicized launch of Microsoft Windows 7 operating system (OS), many are examining the full disk encryption feature that comes standard on Ultimate and Enterprise editions of the popular new OS. By providing full-volume encryption, BitLocker ensures that any file saved on a computer's drive is encrypted automatically.”

We will get high speed rail eventually.
Hopefully soon!
At the moment this fantastic people movin revolution and product moving evolution has been side railed in the once good USofA. Here is a glimpse of what we are missing out on right this minute by delaying the reconstruction and upgrading of our infrastructure.
With high-speed rail we could move up and down either coast in under 10 hours. Talk about a boost to travel and the tourism industry! We could go from side to side across the middle flats of our country in about the same amount of time. Chicago residents could visit the MardiGras in a pleasant day's ride, and so could San Francisco and Miami residents; all of the above trips on the safe and cheap.
Anywhere within a 250 mile radius of Washington, DC. would be only an hour away. Talk about a boon to rural real estate in those neighborhoods!
So what are we waiting for? Why do we still spend money on worthless wars when we could do so much more for ourselves and the world by investing that money in our own country? As the US goes so goes the world doesn't have to be long gone and forgotten.
According to T. Boone Pickens we may have a national energy policy before the lame ducks leave Congress. I doubt it, but we'll see.
Unless our national energy plan calls for massive infrastructure spending in the transportation area, and of course in reducing energy dependence on foreign oil, we will do very little to improve our future, or create any jobs. Without a bunch of unskilled jobs for unskilled labor our unemployment situation won't improve.
The people around the nation were heard during the midterms. However, the "throw the incumbents out" plan of attack only works if the newbies in Congress are not already bought and paid for. With the judicial system making things ever easier for deep pockets to buy elections that ideal is becoming less and less likely.
“Once burned, twice shy” should be the rallying cry of the future. Politicians better beware. They won't be able to count on misinformation or stupidity to help them get away with murder forever.

Is there a double left in the price of gold or silver?
Is there a double left in the price of gold or silver?
The answer is a matter of simple arithmetic believes
one USA producer. David Garafalo, president and
CEO of Hudbay Minerals, who recently relisted his
minerals mining company on the New York exchange,
(HBM) figures it this way. He equates conditions
today to those at the beginning of the 70s decade.
At the end of that decade gold reached an all-time
high of $850 an ounce.
On an inflation-adjusted basis that would put the
value of gold today north of $2400 per ounce. So
according to David Garafalo the price of gold still
has a great deal of catching up to do.
For those looking to capitalize on the gold rush
but don't want to own the metal itself, owning a
mining stock is a great way to participate. My
favorite pick is Hecla Mining (stock ticker HL).
If you're still getting back to even, get on board
the fast boat here.
If you Google Hecla Mining they have a great video
link which captures the fervor Associated with the
precious metals mining group today.
Warmest regards, Bob Parmelee

It's us (USA) against the world now.
Recent moves by the FED are guaranteed to cause the dollar to continue to decline against foreign currencies. A declining dollar guarantees that prices
of commodity-based assets and other asset classes like stocks are going up.
This policy will stimulate our economy but eventually, say over the next couple of years, this will spark countermeasures by countries whose exports get hurt by the steadily increasing value of their currencies and hence higher export prices.
There are advantages to being the largest economy in the world. One of those is the ability to force other countries to accept our economic policies simply because they must trade with the USA to survive and grow. But we had better take advantage while we still can. This may be our last chance to flex our economic muscles before China holds the whip and we’re doing the genuflecting.
If we come to our senses and quit blowing the nation's resources on the bloodiest military decade since the Vietnam era we may hang onto the benefits this current FED policy gives us relative to the rest of the world.
Here is what happened.
Centuries ago marauding militaries cost their home treasuries a small fraction of the bounty they generated by planting their country's flag on someone else's soil. After the conquering heroes secured the land the invading countries "businessmen" moved in to exploit the resources of the vanquished land. The damage done to the host country and its people were largely ignored or kept under the radar, politically speaking. In other words, the spoils of war far outweighed the cost.
Today things are different. Hiding under the radar is less and less feasible so political capital is at risk on these military adventures, as Barack Obama is finding out. At the very least, in order to survive world opinion, we are forced to repair the damage our military causes while wasting our resources on useless offensives. Chasing long dead terrorists as an excuse for war is growing old.
Worse, as recent history has proven, we don't even get any spoils to speak of.
So we need to quit this medieval crap. Being as bloodthirsty as the Khan may be fun for the nation but we can't afford it anymore. It is time to try civilized behavior for a change. Buying people's love and affection is just so darned cheaper than killing them that we need to take mass murder off the table.

Here is the news today -- -- Oh boy!
We just lost the speed advantage in computer computing to China recently. They won with the astounding number crunching capability of 2.5 times 10 to the 15th power per second. In other words:
2,500,000,000,000,000 calculations per second.
Talk about a twinkling of an eye. So once again in yet another venue we have ceded first place to the Chinese.
Here is what this could mean. Let's take the stock market for example. High-speed computers can now sample the fluctuations in stock prices in almost real time. They can tell, within microseconds, trends in an individual stock price based on two simple factors; one, the most recent price and two, the volume of shares traded. Pretty simple algorithm really. As share volume and prices in a stock fluctuate the computer calculates to a certainty of 99% the next trade share price and then executes a buy or sell transaction. If you're trading millions of shares, by trading in the right direction 99% of the time you will, without a doubt, make millions of dollars. Do this millions of times a day and, well, you do the math.
High-speed computing gives the user untold advantages in every endeavor man attempts.
Fortunately, access to equipment of this kind is not available to currency traders, commodity brokers, stockbrokers, bond traders, or money manipulators of any kind.
HA!
HA!
HA!
HA!
Happy Halloween

Another platitude bites the dust
As the media relentlessly scours every dark corner of people’s lives for daily grist, one thing has become abundantly clear; at least to me. No one seems to be the saint they claim to be.
Virtue is no longer the key to success. Guile seems to be the new key.
Take banking for example. Banks have been the self-described bastian’s of integrity and honesty for centuries. Now they hang their heads in disgrace after news that their outrageous incomes come at great expense to their own investors. What’s up with that?
The dawn of our new millennium is not as yet spiritually uplifting. War is up while the workforce is down, and Wall Street is being held responsible.
We need a way to stimulate our nation’s morale. Blowing away less developed parts of the world will not accomplish that. Falling behind in every humanitarian statistic which measures our place in the world is not the answer.
Doing something for ourselves like rebuilding our infrastructure or reinventing our educational system or reducing our dependence on foreign oil, all the while creating jobs and alternative energy solutions in the process is the answer.
It is time to elect a few politicians who realize that the way forward is not to go backward. Getting rid of the politicians who have been presiding over the declining circumstances of America will be a great start to correcting our decades long losing trend.

Most of us are in the middle.
Golly, how profound; knock me down with a feather!
The truth is, there is a huge difference between:
• The brightest and the dullest among us
• the most beautiful and the most visually challenged
• the most athletic and the clumsiest
• the richest and the poorest
• the most erudite and the least educated
The dichotomies are endless. But the fact is both extremes amount to a very small percentage of humanity. The vast majority of us fall into the middle 90 percentile.
With the middle’s overwhelming numbers it would seem the world should be a middle-class oyster. But we don't control our own destinies. We defer to others to decide our fate.
We could bequeath the world to the future with no more wars… no more poverty, or starvation, or disease. It seems unfortunate we spend far more of our combined capital and resources today blowing ourselves apart than we do working towards what should be every one's common goal.
It seems our overwhelming fear of humanity, in its various unfamiliar forms, overwhelms our love of humanity and the self-sacrifice it takes to do well by each other. Perhaps another millennium is required for humanity to reach the level of benign neglect we need to survive one another.
One thing is guaranteed. Polar religious views will not help speed the way. Religious leaders will in fact, only be dragged by the heels, kicking and screaming, into the future. Their vision will cause loss and disruption and devastation until their progeny, the product of their continual, millennium long, brainwashing has finally been replaced with a less self fulfilling, self-aggrandizing prophecy. Once the fanatics have finally been eradicated in all their myriad forms can humanity rest in peace and look forward to its future.
