Escrow - The Insurance for Angels By William Cate
Anyone who invests in any speculative venture that lacks a
business plan will lose his money. After carefully reading the
company's business plan, anyone who doesn't demand structural
changes in the offer will probably lose all of his money. One of
the essential structural changes in the business plan should be

gullible investors every possible swindle in the world. If you

to stop these confidence games. They do nothing to recover the
victims' money. Your best response to a cold call about
investing in anything is to hang up. If you aren't the type of
person who easily hangs up on callers or you just enjoy the fun

When the Trade Towers came down in 01, communications came to a
halt. Cell phones were hit or miss and the regular radio
frequencies were so jammed with traffic it was sort of like
trying to get your message through a million other calls at the
same time. It didn't work. Well, welcome to project 25.
We were hoping on holding off on this play a bit more, but now
Rita has pushed us to release it now. First off what's a project
25? To spare you all the frills, it's an initiative that Uncle

The Google Tool for Resource Company Investors By William Cate
If you are an investor in a resource company, ask the company
for the longitude and latitude of the mine, mineral prospect,
oil well, timberlands, farm, ranch or whatever resource the
company claims to be developing. Then, download "Google Earth."
The basic software is free. The upgrades cost money. The
upgrades are justified, if you have a major investment in any
resource company or prefer investing in resource stocks. Using
the company supplied longitude and latitude; you can get a
satellite view of the company's resource property. It takes a
few seconds, but there is the company property. Study the
satellite image carefully. (read full article) |

How many of you out there think that the market is performing
well?
How many think the market is performing poorly?
And how many feel the markets performance is neutral?
Actually none of these answers is correct. You see, the market
does not perform, you do.

Sometimes you perform well, and other times you do not perform
so well. The market doesn't perform, it moves. It moves up, it
moves down and it moves sideways.
It moves along like anything else that travels in a business
cycle. If the market did perform, then you would only be able to
make money in an up market.
As you know, it is possible to make money in a down market, and
even in a stagnant market.
