Alien Footage In Colorado

New video footage of a live alien in Colorado.

Monkey See - Robot Do

Check out this article where a monkey is able to control a robot arm with it's brain. Huge expansion for paraplegics and prosthetic limbs. A small penny stock I used to follow is creating similar advances look at Cyberkinetics Neuro Systems (CYKN).

Skynet For Shizzle

Check this out! Straight out of a terminator movie, the air force is trying make a real life version of Skynet.

Technology and Loophole

Now I personally find smoking gross and distasteful, but I also find nanny-states to be ridiculous and unconstitutional. I understand smoking bans in public places but not private bars and clubs where people can choose to not be a patron. Anyway you put technology and a lawyer together and you can get around the smoking ban. Once again not publicly traded.

In The Almost Cool Segment

A very overpriced tripod by a none public company, which would have been great during the real estate boom.

Speaking of Ironman...

Check out this new exoskeleton being developed by Sarcos Inc (not publicly traded). The birth of a super-soldier?

Creative Accounting Keeps Inflation Under Control

No doubt you have heard us rant about the government not counting energy, food, and housing as inflation when they refer to "core" inflation. We all certainly know that the core part of our everyday lives certainly don't include energy, food or housing, right? (In case you aren't picking up on this, it is dripping with sarcasm.) Today's CPI report sees the largest rise in 18 years for food prices but energy has stayed the same when the Department of Labor readjusts for seasonal cycles. No doubt your paycheck is readjusted for seasonal cycles just like ours!

What a load of B.S.!

The True AMERICAN IDOLS!!!!

Watching the Watchlist

Here we are in another week of trading and there is still money (latinum) to be made. I think there are a lot of stocks out there that are either on the verge of bouncing and starting on heading up or have already turned and marching forward to a new top. Use these stocks to start building your own watchlist and keep an eye on those break outs. Here are some stocks that that are at a resistance level and verge of a break out and possibly it will put the oo-mox back into your trading....

BBV - CNQR - DECK - DNR - DV - FLIR - GMCR - MPWR - MVL - OTEX - PSEM - SDA - STD - WRNC

I like MVL because they know how to make a great movies like Iron Man and also the Hulk this summer along with the merchandising that comes with it should be huge.

A good movie made from a comic book equals a lot of money. So keep an eye on it.

These are just a few of my favorite things. Have fun with them.

Bernanke Sees Improvement

Bernanke is seeing improvement in the financial institutions. I think we will see a few more reports like this over the summer as the Fed sets up to finally address the inflation issue. Due to the elections the Fed will be afraid they might be seen as trying to influence the outcome so they will hold off on interest rate hikes. If the "good news" comes earlier we may see hikes sooner and then a lull during the election. Be sure to watch Wednesday's CPI report.

Or a Stuart Smalley reference...

Enjoy!!!!

Citigroup Fire Sale!

Everything must go at Citigroup, well almost everything.

Cool Pen and Cool Technology

You may have seen this spotlighted on CNBC about the company called Lightscribe that has produced a smart pen. Basically, it is a very, very small and smart computer.


Even though this company isn't public yet, there are a lot of possibilities with this type of technology. Apparently, the owner of Lightscribe use to work for Leap Frog Fly division of the Leap Frog company (that company that your children know about even if you don't.) You write on the special paper and it is stored on the internal hard drive plus much much more. You can read about it here.

Cornerstone Growth

Using similar criteria to Wall Street legend William O'Shaugnessy's Cornerstone Growth Fund I look for undervalued stocks in strong industry groups showing long-term relative strength. Check them out:
CALM - Uptrend with momentum, 10.5% dividend yield
AKS - Support bounce off a 30-day moving average
KOP - Pennant flag break out, 1.86% dividend yield
CQB - Support bounce off a 30-day moving average
FLR - Support bounce off a 30-day moving average beware of $170 as resistance but allow room for a break
ACU - Retesting an ascending triangle
BG - Support bounce
WMT - Pulling back look for a bounce or bull flag, 1.64% dividend yield
NM - Broke resistance w/ volume, 3% dividend yield
GSI - Awesome fundamental stock, Bull flag for a target of $13.50 in the short-term but don't be afraid to let it run
MEA - Forming a bull flag as it is retesting a major resistance break from last month
MAN - Last 6-months has been consolidating and reversing now making a higher low

Spider Surveillance

Another awesome Star Trek type technology will soon be available to for Military purposes. Check out the new Spider Surveillance tool. This new technology is being developed by a small over-the-counter company by the name of BAE Systems (BAESY.PK). The long-term trend is up but the stock is currently consolidating in a sideways trend, fundamental data is sparse.
