Father's Day Gift Giving:
By the Book
Father's Day isn't nearly as big a deal as Mother's Day.. Right but we need it..
There are probably some good reasons for that. For one thing, our fathers don't carry us around in their stomachs for nine months and don't go through childbirth even I am attached to my mother more than my father.
For another, fathers tend to not be around as much as mothers.
I'm not talking about fathers that abandon their families altogether. Let's not go there. I'm talking about fathers that sacrifice to give their families what they can.
They are the real heroes. But, we don't always see it that way.
Sometimes kids blame their fathers for not being around enough because they work so hard, and when those kids grow up they too often resent their fathers for not being there.
I see that a lot, especially these days when things aren't easy and work is too often hard to find or even come by.
And I've heard a lot from my friends over the years that their fathers weren't around because they were working and they always seemed tired and had little time for their kids when they got home, or on weekends, when they tended their homes and gardens.
My Father was busy but I have a big chance to learn lots of things in my life and how I treat people And as I grew up we grew our relationship.
It might be different in our american society than Egypt but no matter what is your back ground you must have something to remind you with your father.!
you might not feel that until you realized how hard he was working and I actually understood what it takes to make a living. Taking care of the family by always being there for them is no easy feat.
The truth is, you can't be in two places at once, even though sometimes you have to be.
There is just no book on being the perfect parent. There is no road map to leading your family to perfect happiness. There are only books yet to be written and roads left to be travelled.
Years later, I realize how lucky I am to have my father and how lucky I am to be able to spend time with him. T
But, there's no going back, there's only today and the promise of tomorrow, maybe cause my dad died 1989 and I missed him a lot so please do not miss you father's appreciation day even to send him a 5.00 post card and say thank you for these days you was there for me.
.... Happy Father's Day!
Enjoy your day,
Publishing ideas,other proffesional's searchs and talks in order to improve the understanding of critical issues we are facing in our American Society..

Scammers!! Even, if it looks GOOD to you.
I have been passing through some of those High margin
companies and all of it looks same to me.
Those are business to business, pyramid sharing or what so ever they tell you,I do not want
to mention a specific names in public
I have shared with some of them then I realized is just big
game, for some genius money
Manipulating groups they just want to trick you to get you.
I will mention the
latest one, pens auction website
They said you could invest your money and double it in three
months and guess what after three months your original investment money will be
expired cause it is like coupons type when you put it on!! Of course you have
to work for it by doing some sort of daily advertising online it doesn’t look
shabby to me until I heard the next …
The deal is people
make money with the company like this
The Company selling on the there website things very cheap
than the market prices How?? Okay they charge each bidder 65 cent each time he
bids for 1 cent so if 300 people bid on e.g. IPAD they will be paying 195 fees,
and the bid will be only three dollars, genius HUHU..
So consider the ipad sold for 20 dollars that mean there are
2000 bidder and they will be fees for how much !! 1300 then they sell it for 20
USD making profit 300%
Hay good idea... they still in the market and so many
customers they still doing business.
It is kind of gambling with 65 cents to get things worth a
lot more may be you loose couple dollars but in big scope some people out there
making billions of dollars.
Anyway the scary thing on that the pyramids investment way that
you make money for each person you bring to the table...same P.SH.
I could not advise
myself to go and gamble with them cause I did not feel it is right, even It is
a genius idea of fulling the customers and take there money away.
Please if you like to invest, I recommend some other sold
business or real estate that will help our economy to grow not shabby deals
that will vanish like big others disappears before.

Wake up America ..China is about to shake the world to its foundations
China is about to make an announcement that will shake the world to its foundations - and that will destroy everything you've ever worked for. So says a renowned financial journalist on assignment in Asia - and the crazy thing is, he's famous for being right. He was one of the few to warn of the great tech stock meltdown of 2000... the housing and banking bust of 2007... and the recent boom in gold and commodity prices. Is he right again? for free and judge for yourself.

they are trying to put the policy to dectate the American policies
It is very said to hear that from the finacial analyest.
China is trying to not support the US economy but began to doninate the USD and shrike the Value of the American dolar and may crash it very soon by using there money and exchange currency.
The prices of heat and food in the USA is increasingly rises ...higher and higher every month over 50% almost every month in the USA in a way no one could noticed it from group to group.
China is now try to move and make there currncy in the top even by lowering it's value in order to protect there industery for export reasons. even Apple now acceting payments online sales with yen!!
Obama admintration is trying to reduce that big gape of currancy replacement even though we still going there with now doubts unless we stop buying or outsourcing out day to day products from outside America,dolar stors,Wallmart,K mart,Computer stores, Etc. is relaying on chinese industry !! which is heavenly WRONG...
This is why.. the whole American products cost more than the china products,Even though we must start make our OWN american Bread again from A-Z or we will be like one of those countries in we hear about them in Africa and send them Help ,Yes If we do not wake up we be at the tail of the world not any close to the lead..
The massive capital china investment in America will take control of the American economy and will control
most basic life necessary requirement and will be slave to the chinese currency after our dolar carsh and make us pay our diet to china with our cheap currency
The united states of america in the way to be the slave of china power and huge Impier.

The Great Betrayal of 2012 SHOCKING EVIDENCE: The Obama administration is CONSPIRING with China’s leaders to destroy the value of every U.S. dollar you earn, spend, save and invest. IN THIS REPORT: What you must do immediately to protect yourself and prosper. PLUS: The investments that are designed to soar 185% ... 200% ... 257% ... up to 365% as Washington and Beijing gut the U.S. dollar. I have to be careful; if the authorities even suspected that I’m going to reveal certain facts in this presentation, there would be hell to pay. I could be arrested and deported or worse, have to do serious prison time. I am only willing to take that risk because what I’m about to say is absolutely essential to your survival — to your financial survival. Wise men have predicted the developments I’m talking about for centuries. Two hundred years ago, Napoleon warned, “When China wakes, it will shake the world.” Truer words were never spoken. China has awakened. And now, it’s about to shake the world to its foundations — starting with the United States. This is the Shanghai World Financial Center. It houses the Shanghai Futures Exchange and Stock Exchange. It is also home to China’s largest banks, insurance companies and its financial ratings agencies. But this is much more than just an office building. It is also ground zero for the single greatest economic triumph in China’s history. But for Americans, it’s about to become an icon; the symbol of the most catastrophic event in our nation’s financial history ... An event that will render everything you think you know about our government, about our economy and about investing obsolete. I’ve created this special presentation to give you the uncensored facts — facts that the U.S. media won’t report — and to help you prepare while there’s still time. Plus, if you take the steps I recommend, you could make quite a bit of money in the process. Once again, this is Larry Edelson. You may have seen me in Forbes, or on Bloomberg, CBS Marketwatch, CNBC or another major financial program or publication. Or perhaps you’ve seen my forecasts and recommendations on the Money and Markets website or in my own e-zine, Uncommon Wisdom. In my 33 years in finance, I have managed several large investment funds and founded my own brokerage and money management firm with offices in New York, Hamburg, Dusseldorf, Vienna and Osaka, Japan. I live here in Asia. My home is a short flight from Shanghai. I also work here; I use a lot of what I learn about China and the rest of Asia to help thousands of people all over the world make better financial decisions. Plus, as a financial guide for hundreds of thousands of private investors, I’ve become well known for accurately warning them of major turns in the markets well in advance. I accurately warned my readers of the stock market crash of 1987 and the rally that followed ... The bursting of the tech stock bubble in 2000 that cost U.S. investors an estimated $6.5 trillion in losses ... And the 2007 collapse in U.S. stocks that drove the S&P 500 56% lower. I also nailed the bottom of gold prices at $255 in 1999 and the bull market that has taken the yellow metal to well over $1,800 per ounce so far ... In June of 2004, I warned that the price of oil would start a rocket ride higher, from $38 to well over $100 a barrel, and a gallon of gas to near $4. Now I have a truly shocking forecast for you — it is by far, the most alarming warning I have ever issued. It is so disturbing, in fact, that most people who read this report will simply refuse to believe it. But I must warn you: Ignoring this warning will have consequences — and those consequences will be catastrophic for millions of Americans. On the other hand, every crisis creates great opportunities — and this one is no exception. Because in terms of its sheer power to create wealth, the event I’m talking about DWARFS the industrial revolution that created hundreds of millionaires at the beginning of the 20th Century ... It towers miles above the computer, internet and technology revolutions that created thousands of millionaires — and hundreds of billionaires — in the 1990s ... It’s already creating the greatest explosion of wealth in the history of mankind. At its core, though, the story I’m about to tell you is one of betrayal: The cruelest, most callous financial treachery in our nation’s 236-year history. It’s a story that’s so shocking, nobody in the U.S. media has dared report it: I have uncovered compelling evidence that the Chinese government is conspiring with Washington, D.C. to impoverish you and sentence your children and your grandchildren to lives of financial servitude.Now please don’t misunderstand: I’m not a political man and this is NOT a political presentation. It’s not about Democrats or Republicans or who should win the U.S. elections in November. I am a financial and investment analyst. And as such, my ONLY allegiance is to my family and to the individual investors I help. I created this presentation for one, simple reason: To give you the truth you need to protect your home, your savings, your investments and your retirement from the single greatest economic crisis in our nation’s history ... In this presentation, I will show you exactly why Beijing and Washington are working together to bankrupt you. I will show you how to protect yourself and your family from their scheme to destroy your wealth. And, I will tell you about the four kinds of investments I believe will double your money, then double it yet again in 2012 and beyond. Because in finance as in life, the best defense is a strong offense. Everybody knows that China is on the move. Even despite the recent global slowdown — and despite what the naysayers may try to tell you — China’s economy is still growing more than seven times faster than America’s is.I know — it’s hard to believe. Especially since many have been saying that China’s economic explosion is over. But consider the shocking report that Yahoo Finance recently posted. I quote: “The International Monetary Fund has just dropped a bombshell, and nobody noticed.According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), by 2016, the United States will no longer be the world’s number one economic power. According to the IMF, China will be richer than America in less than five years. But according to the prestigious Peterson Institute — and based on data just published by the University of Pennsylvania — the IMF is wrong: The Chinese economy will NOT surpass America’s by 2016. Nor will it happen in 2017 or even in 2020, for that matter. Peterson and the University of Pennsylvania say China is ALREADY the world’s #1 economicpower. And the thing is, they proved it. These two highly respected institutions just presented irrefutable proof that in real terms — when you adjust for the domestic purchasing power of respective currencies ... The U.S. economy produced goods and services valued at $14.6 trillion in 2010 ... But China’s Gross Domestic Product soared to $14.8 trillion. China’s economy is already larger than America’s. And what’s worse, the United States is falling farther behind every day: China’s economy grew 9.2%. That’s more than SEVEN AND ONE-HALF TIMES FASTER; fast enough to nearly DOUBLE the size of China’s already-massive economy once each decade. And if you get to know a little more about both nations, China’s burgeoning economic power becomes even more unsettling. Because the fact is, Beijing has become so powerful, it can now dictate economic policy to the U.S. >> The Beijing government has almost no debt ... >> But Washington has nearly $145 trillion in debt and obligations. ** China has $3.2 trillion in cash — and its cash reserves are growing ever larger, month after month ... ** But Washington has almost no cash on hand and has to borrow nearly half of every dollar it spends — much of it is borrowed from China. >> But Washington’s tax revenues are dramatically down due to the sluggish U.S. economy. ** The U.S. has about 160 million workers ... ** China has 810 million workers — more than 5 times more than the United States. >> 97% of all Chinese workers are employed ... >> But 14 million U.S. workers are either unemployed or underemployed. ** In China’s urban areas, wages ROSE 7.6% in 2011 — and the increase was about double that in rural areas. ** Meanwhile, inflation-adjusted wages for U.S. workers dropped 1.7%. The investment facts are even more startling: I used to think New York and Beverly Hills were the world’s pinnacle for high-end shopping ... But here in Shanghai, the Nanjing Road shopping district puts them to shame. So does the New Shanghai Shopping City here in the Pudong financial district ... And these are only two of EIGHT massive, world-class, state-of-the-art shopping districts in this one city alone! I once believed that Las Vegas topped the world when it came to luxury hotels and entertainment ... But even Vegas’ biggest and best can’t hold a candle to the world’s largest hotels and casinos in Macau. But they pale in comparison to the massive luxury housing developments and neighborhoods filled with extravagant Western-style mansions here. Any way you look at it, China is already the nation on the way UP. While sadly, the U.S. is the nation on the way OUT. I just read a study by The Program for International Student Assessment that ranked Chinese students #1 in the world. American students were ranked fourteenth.China’s Tianhe-1A super computer is the fastest in the world, capable of processing more than 2.5 thousand trillion calculations per second. And while the U.S. is winding down its space program, China is preparing to put a man on the moon! And when you look at China’s military, the contrast between the two nations gets downright scary: And while the U.S. is cutting its military expenditures, China has increased military spending every year for more than 20 years ... and is still boosting it by an average of 11.8% per year. China’s military is state-of-the-art: It just unveiled the J-20 — its first stealth fighter. China’s nuclear arsenal is especially worrying: While the U.S. has been steadily reducing its stockpiles for nearly 30 years, China continues to build up its forces and is refusing to even begin talks on nuclear arms reduction. In the size of its economy and economic growth ... in science ... in technology ... in the scholarship of its students ... in the growth of its military ... in every conceivable area, China is ALREADY the world’s most dominant nation.And of course, there’s another reason why China is now in a position to dictate economic policy to the United States of America: Nearly 50% of every dollar Washington spends today is borrowed money — much of it borrowed from China. Without the billions Beijing loans Washington, the entire U.S. government would go bust. Washington would become a virtual ghost town. Millions of Americans who count on government checks would be financially destroyed. So you see, the entire world — including the United States — must bow to China’s superior economic power — the greatest the world has ever seen. Nobody who watched that humiliating display on television had any doubt which man has the greater power; which man is in control. And make no mistake: the Chinese know they’re in the driver’s seat. People’s Liberation Army Senior Colonel Liu Mingfu recently said, “To save itself, to save the world, China must prepare to become the world’s helmsman.” I can’t even begin to tell you how painful it is for me to have to tell you any of this. Even though I live and work in Asia, I will remain an American citizen to my final breath. My mom, my sister, my brother and my three grown kids all live in the States. I want nothing but the best of everything for them and for my country. But if my three decades as a financial analyst have taught me anything, it’s that terrible things happen when we ignore reality. And take it from me: There WILL be terrible consequences for those who fail to act on the investment intelligence in this presentation. But once you grasp the reality that Beijing is now in charge, you’ll find it’s quite easy to insulate yourself — and even to make a substantial sum in the process. Because now, I have compelling evidence that China is not satisfied to merely surpass the U.S. economy; it has already begun a campaign to DOMINATE the U.S. economy. The shocking part is that our own leaders in Washington, D.C. have become Beijing’s willing accomplices. I know this is an outrageous assertion — but I’m about to prove it; so please hear me out ... Because China has already begun to wage war against the dominance and value of the U.S. dollar ... With the help of our leaders in Washington, D.C.! I’ll explain: For decades now, the U.S. dollar has been the world’s currency of choice. Most of the world’s central banks hold their reserves in U.S. dollars. Most international transactions have been settled in U.S. dollars. But since 2009, President Obama has spent more than $10.6 trillion, and run up trillion-dollar deficits year after year. To fund Washington’s spending addiction, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has borrowed an estimated $4 trillion since 2009. And, Ben Bernanke — the Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve — has created nearly $8 trillion out of thin air since 2009. *Gasoline prices have shot the moon — you’re paying over 25% more than you paid just 24 months ago!As a result of this precipitous decline in the dollar’s buying power ... France, India and many other countries ... The U.N., the IMF and other international organizations ... Are ALL calling for the end of the dollar’s reign as the world’s reserve currency. And even the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party says — and again, I quote: “The world urgently needs to create a diversified currency and financial system and fair and just financial order that is not dependent on the United States.”In fact, the U.S. dollar is already being abandoned by many countries and companies in favor of the Chinese currency — the yuan: > Investors can now buy yuan-denominated bonds in Hong Kong.Now, China believes it’s time to make the supremacy of its currency — the yuan — OFFICIAL — by gutting the U.S. dollar. And our own leaders — President Obama, Treasury Secretary Geithner and Fed chief Bernanke — are obediently helping Beijing do just that! Hard to believe? Especially in an election year? I agree! But remember: President Obama saw what a weaker dollar did for U.S. stocks in 2009: It gave birth to huge rallies! Having the stock market explode higher just before the elections would be a godsend for any incumbent president! Look: You’ve seen the news reports of Obama, Geithner and Bernanke complaining about China’s currency. Those complaints are only growing louder now — even in this election year! The administration claims the “weak yuan” gives China an unfair trading advantage. It makes China’s products cheaper than ours on world markets. So they’re demanding that China increase the yuan’s value in order to level the playing field for American exporters. But anybody with even shred of common sense can instantly see the Obama administration’s claims are pure baloney. Look: The average U.S. worker earns nearly 6.5 TIMES MORE than his or her Chinese counterpart. Those sky-high labor costs are cooked into every product produced in America — and that’s what makes American products far more expensive than similar Chinese-made products. So even if Beijing DOUBLED or TRIPLED the value of the yuan, Chinese products would still sell for far less than U.S.-made products do: Boosting the yuan’s value would do little if anything to help U.S. exporters! So why does Washington really want to jack up the value of the Chinese yuan? What’s the truth that Washington won’t tell you? By RAISING the value of the Chinese yuan, Washington and China will automatically CRUSH the value of the U.S. dollar ... But when you add in the debts Washington owes to veterans, seniors and government pensioners, the total amount is nearly ten times more: A staggering $145 trillion. That’s nearly TEN TIMES the total value of the goods and services the U.S. economy produces ... That’s far more debt than Washington can ever hope to pay. In fact, Washington’s only hope of avoiding default is to destroy the value of its own currency, then pay its debts back with dollars that are only a shadow of their former selves. Plus, with a weak dollar and strong Chinese yuan, China can buy up even more of our debt and protect the massive investment it has already made in America by helping Washington avoid default. That’s a massive “win-win” for both Washington and Beijing: Plus, a rising yuan will once and for all solve Beijing’s #1 economic problem: Rising domestic inflation. As the yuan’s buying power rises, price inflation in China will decline dramatically. More importantly, as the yuan’s purchasing power explodes, China will also be able to lock up even more of the world’s supply of oil, coal, steel, copper, lumber and other natural resources ... to take control of thousands more companies ... and to extend its economic control throughout the world. But why lie about their intentions? Because if they told the truth, there would be hell to pay. Just imagine how voters would react if the president stepped before the microphones and said ... “My fellow Americans, we politicians have spent too much money and now, we can’t pay our debts.See what I mean? Telling the truth would be tantamount to political suicide. Any way you look at it, this is treachery of the highest order: The U.S. dollar — and YOUR income, savings, investments and retirement — is being sacrificed on the altar of political expediency. And while the insult to our national pride and patriotism will be painful, the personal toll will be excruciating. The dollar’s demise will be catastrophic for everyone who earns, saves or invests dollars. The price you pay for food, electricity, gasoline and just about everything else will skyrocket. Many Americans — particularly those on fixed incomes — will have to choose between buying medicine, paying the rent, or buying food. Homelessness, hunger and hopelessness will be the everyday reality for millions of Americans. Some will rightfully blame Washington for their misery. Others will blame Wall Street. Mass demonstrations and hunger marches will dominate the headlines. Cities will burn. When the dust settles, the United States will be little more than just another name on the long list of once-proud countries that squandered their wealth ... that were ultimately driven to their knees and forced to submit to the nations that took their places. Now as I said earlier, I’m well aware that the vast majority of everyday Americans who read this presentation will simply ignore these facts. I understand; most people are in denial. The U.S. has been number one their entire lives. They’ve always assumed that would never change. They can’t accept the fact that we are no longer king of the hill. I don’t take their skepticism personally. I know their eyes also glaze over when President Sarkozy of France announces that — quote: “We must rethink the financial system from scratch ...” and that it’s time to “change the rules of the game.” They simply change channels when CNN features former British Prime Minister Brown touting “a new global financial order,” describing this as a “decisive moment” for the world. And they choose not to even listen to Henry Kissinger — the man whose historic visits opened U.S. relations with China 41 years ago in 1971 — when he says we must accept a new global hierarchy with China in a dominant role. Nevertheless, most people who read this presentation will probably think I’ve gone off the deep end. But if anything I say to you today helps you protect and grow your wealth through this chaotic time, that’s a risk I’m willing to take. After all; most folks were extremely skeptical when I warned that the bubble in internet and technology stocks would burst in 2000 ... Just before the tech wreck wiped out $6.5 trillion of invested wealth ... Almost nobody listened when I urged investors to buy gold for just $255 per ounce — before it soared to over $1,800 ... Or when I predicted in June 2004, that oil would soar from $35 a barrel to well over $100 — which it did. Or when I warned in 2007 of the stock market collapse that crushed stocks a whopping 56%. And frankly, most folks thought I’d lost my mind in early 2009, when I publicly announced that the bear market was over — just before stocks soared over 50%. But each time, investors who heeded my forecasts — and more importantly, acted on them — had the chance to pile up substantial profits. Now, you have a similar opportunity. Because the way I see it, this is a virtual “can’t-lose” situation for you: If I’m right about the dramatic events ahead, you stand to make a fortune. If I’m half-right, you could still make a bundle. And even if I’m wrong, no promises of course, you could still do very well. After all, these stocks I’m about to tell you about are already soaring. So what’s the secret to protecting and growing your wealth in this challenging new world? Simple: Own the handful of stocks that are positioned to soar as China rises ... as the yuan surges ... and as the U.S. dollar plunges! Take natural resource stocks: Right now, they have not just one, but THREE important reasons to soar ... First, the world simply can’t live without the things these companies produce. And that steady, high demand for their products is hugely bullish for their stocks. Second, China’s insatiable hunger for these natural resources virtually guarantees they’ll continue to soar! Already, China consumes 41% of the world’s copper ... 41% of its nickel ... 43% of its steel ... 45% of its tin ... 46% of its lead ... nearly 47% of its zinc ... and huge amounts of most other natural resources. What’s more, China’s enormous craving for resources is growing by the day. And the stock of companies that provide these natural resources stand to make investors richer than Midas. And third, these natural resources have intrinsic value — so they naturally soar when the dollar sinks. And not only should the stock of companies that produce these natural resources soar as Washington and Beijing cut the value of the U.S. dollar ... They’re ALREADY spinning off impressive profits! While the average Dow or S&P 500 stock has gone almost nowhere recently ... Nucor up 23.3% ... U.S. Steel up 24.3% ... Silver Wheaton up 26.4% ... Walter Energy up 30% ... Southern Copper up 31.8% ... Uranium One up 32.3% ... Yanzhou Coal up 33.4% ... Alpha Natural Resources up 41% ... Ivanhoe Mines up 49.4% ... Jiangxi Copper up 53.1% ... and Novagold up 73.53%. All in a single year! And as Washington and Beijing jack up the value of the yuan and crush the value of the dollar, I believe your gains will be far, FAR greater! Plus, to help you go for even greater profits with the money you can afford to risk, I recommend inexpensive investment vehicles that offer you unlimited profit potential PLUS strictly limited risk — many that give you up to THREE YEARS for the trade to work out in your favor. And over the past year, you could have used these muscle-bound vehicles to go for gains of ...
To help you take full advantage of this historic profit opportunity, I’ve just put the finishing touches on my hot-off-the-presses report — The Conspiracy Files: Survive and Prosper — to help you get your family and your wealth through this chaotic time. You’ll discover ...
Portfolio #1: The Great Energy Windfall of 2012: You’ll discover three energy stocks set to multiply investors’ money. Some of these shares are up 1,260% since 2000 — enough to turn a $25,000 grubstake into more than $340,000! Portfolio #2: The Great Agriculture Jackpot of 2012: In this remarkable report, I name the four food stocks I believe are most likely to multiply your money in the year ahead. Here again, the profits are likely to be enormous — and you probably won’t have to wait long to begin seeing them! Thanks to massive demand from China, food stocks are already exploding higher. Portfolio #3: The Great Materials Explosion of 2012: In 2011, these stocks are up as much as 167% — and I fully expect them to shoot the moon in 2012 and beyond! Portfolio #4: The Great Gold Bonanza of 2012: You’ll discover my favorite gold stocks — including the miner that’s producing gold at just $250 an ounce. And I’ll show you how to get all the gold bullion you want at huge discounts or even free. It’s easy when you learn how to buy gold like an insider! And I’ll give you a way to avoid the biggest rip-offs when buying bullion coins ... the best way to buy gold in absolute privacy ... my confidential “short list” of gold dealers ... and much more, all FREE! Normally, each one of these five emergency reports would be valued at $79 — a total value of $395.

Over the years, Real Wealth Report has made a huge difference for thousands of readers. Mike C. of Inverness, Illinois says ... “I’ve only been a subscriber for a couple of months. So far I'm very impressed. Those moves saved me approximately $50,000.00 in the last two months.” Troy S. of Christchurch, New Zealand says we’ve earned his trust: “I have just started investing with you, but I’m already up about 20%. I got recommended to you by a friend, and now have recommended you to many of my friends. Reverend James B. of Powhatan, Virginia counts on us to keep his money growing: “Confidence in your honest predictions has helped to allay any worries about losing my retirement funds. I am 50% better off because of trusting you, Larry.” Nevertheless, as I said earlier, this is a “no-risk” membership.

After all — Marc S. of Columbus, Ohio says ... “Thanks to you, I've about doubled my investments.” And Randy O. of Irving, Texas is thrilled with the profits he’s earning thanks to Real Wealth Report: “I began subscribing to Real Wealth Report before gold was at $300 an ounce, so you know my portfolio is up several hundred percent.” Annette J. of Clinchfield, Georgia says we’ve impressed her: “For the first time I have real gains of 30-60%, even in the down markets. I follow your advice closely and try to invest as you call it.” You’ll have to act quickly, though; the Obama administration and Beijing are getting closer to crushing the dollar with every passing day. So if you’ll just click the button below in the next five minutes, I’ll make sure you receive a sixth report — SWING FOR THE FENCES — absolutely free. Every once-in-a-while, when you see an investment trend you believe is both inevitable and will be with us for a while — many investors get the itch to swing for the fences with highly leveraged investment vehicles like options. Plus, while the purchase of options offers you unlimited profit potential — there’s virtually no limit to how far or how fast the option can rise — you can never lose a penny more than you invest. In Swing for the Fences, I give you the basics you need to begin taking advantage of this power-packed investment vehicle — including ...
Please remember: Even if I’m 100% wrong about Beijing’s intentions, you could probably do quite well — after all: These stocks I’m about to tell you about are already soaring. If I’m only half right and the dollar is only partially devalued, you could do even better; I see these investments doubling and more. But if I’m as right about this as I have been about gold, oil, and food over the past ten years, you stand to multiply your money many times over. The best news in this entire presentation is that you still have some time left to prepare before Washington and Beijing gut the value of your dollars. But there isn’t much time left. The announcement could come almost any day now — and when it does, it will be too late to protect yourself.

Hydrokinetic Power
Hydrokinetic Power is the Next Wave in Cheap Energy
By Keith Fitz-Gerald, Chief Investment Strategist
In an era of cheap capital, emerging technology companies could provide investors the biggest bang for the buck we've seen in years.
The key is finding a market that already has billions of dollars in pent up demand - like cheap energy.
Of all the cheap alternatives available to us today, I'm most excited by hydrokinetic power systems for the simple reason that the oceans contain enough energy to potentially support more than 50% of US demand alone, according to the US Department of Energy.
In case you are not familiar with the term, hydrokinetic systems produce power from the water's kinetic energy. It's quite literally power from the motion in the ocean.
Critics charge there are limits involved because the technology we need to make, transmit and store wave-based energy is primitive and prohibitively expensive.
And they're right... it is, or at least has been to date.
That's why despite years of effort and billions of dollars in government-sponsored financing, there are a mere 5 megawatts of wave-generated energy being created worldwide.
According to Forbes Magazine, that's only enough to light 4,000 U.S. homes.
Yet studies estimate that two-thirds of the world's economically feasible hydropower has yet to be exploited. Perhaps not surprisingly, much of this untapped energy is concentrated in South America, Asia and Africa.
That's my kind of opportunity - but it will require a sea change in our thinking (pun absolutely intended).
The Rising Tide in Hydrokinetic Power
That's because traditional "alternative" power choices tend to evolve in terms of how applications like solar, hydro, thermal and gas production ties into the grid. As such, they're dependent on environmental variables that come and go.
On the other hand, hydrokinetic systems really are the grid. By placing turbines, bobbers and impellers into large bodies of water, they become part of the very system they're tapping into.
And it's a whopper of a system.

The Electric Power Research Institute estimates that the total energy potential for hydrokinetic power may be 100 Gigawatts by 2050 or enough to power 67 million homes while reducing carbon dioxide emissions by more than 80 million metric tons. That's, incidentally, the amount of power produced by 20-30 coal fired power plants. So we're not talking chump change here.
There are many benefits, not the least of which is continuity.
For example, despite the fact that Katrina wiped out an area the size of Great Britain and devastated many of the power plants in the area, the area's rivers kept flowing and the ocean kept producing waves.
In Japan, the situation is much the same. As recently as December 2011 only six of the nation's 54 reactors remained in operation, according to Marketwatch.
This is making fuel costs skyrocket and negatively impacting Japanese profit margins despite all the cash and effort being poured into that nation's recovery.
As an island nation that's heavily dependent on nuclear power with now extremely apparent risks, the potential for harvesting water is significant, considering that the entire nation is a series of islands quite literally surrounded by boundless energy.
Closer to home, we've got the Hudson, the Missouri and the Colorado Rivers to contend with in addition to strong tidal currents and waves along both coasts - all of which could be exploited for power production.
Environmentalists charge that the systems will disrupt natural habitats effectively creating gigantic blenders or cuisinarts that aren't fish friendly, create underwater acoustic pollution or otherwise disrupt maritime habitats.
Not to dismiss any of these concerns, but I think the demands outweigh the bureaucratic red tape in an age where energy demand is rising and rapidly becoming an issue of national security rather than luxury.
Ocean Power Technologies (Nasdaq: OPTT) - Based in New Jersey, the company is tiny with a market cap of a mere $36.39 million and change. It's running at a loss and according to Yahoofinance.com sports negative earnings of $1.71 per share. That is entirely understandable when you recognize $120 million they've spent developing their proprietary PowerBuoy wave generators.
PowerBuoys look like gigantic thumbtacks comprised of a movable float, a base plate and a long spar that holds everything together. Each one is capable of producing 150 kilowatts using nothing more than the piston like action of waves.
Defense contractor Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE: LMT) recently partnered with the company to help with development and logistics. Presumably Lockheed Martin will help with costs as well.
Earnings are scheduled for March 9 and I can hardly wait.
Columbia Power Technologies (still private) - Columbia is based in my backyard in nearby Corvallis, Oregon. Although it's still private, the Company is worth watching because it has already deployed a version of its SeaRay generator in Puget Sound and is set to commercialize its technology within the next two years.
Unlike the PowerBuoys, SeaRay generators look like a big oil barrel with floating wings. Essentially the core barrel, for lack of a better term, is a magnetic coil that produces energy when the wings move up and down on the waves. The intent is to use as few moving parts as possible - in this case two.
The company has partnered with angel investors and received some $8.5 million in grants from both the Department of Energy and U.S. Navy.
This month, they'll be retrieving the SeaRay from the water and beginning work on the full-scale version called a "Manta" with the intent to deploy it in 2013.
There is no word on commercialization yet but with more than 63% of anticipated wave-based energy capacity yet to be developed, there is undoubtedly time.
Not to mention "alternative" alternatives we haven't yet begun to envision but which are undoubtedly being developed in a garage somewhere.

Two Hydrokinetic Power Companies to Keep an Eye On

How the "New Cold War" with China Will Change America's Future
December 8, 2011
Few things push the frontiers of the future more than an army's desire to defeat its enemies.
Just look at what happened to America after World War II. Our need to counter Soviet power delivered a tidal wave of innovation.
Defense spending led to the Internet, microwave ovens and GPS devices - not to mention millions of jobs from one of the great tech booms in history.
Now comes the "New Cold War" - one that will also prove a boon to a wide range of tech industries.
This time the United States is racing against China.
You see, the Pentagon recently announced plans to check Chinese ambition with a wide range of responses. They fall under a new program called "Air Sea Battle."
It has U.S. President Barack Obama's backing. The president told our Pacific Rim allies the U.S. will provide a safety net in the region. It's a clear signal to the Pentagon to get cracking on key research and development (R&D).
This certainly comes at an awkward time. The U.S. faces a daunting debt crisis. With Washington's failure to reach a budget compromise, big defense cuts loom.
That will hurt in the short run, no doubt. But over the long haul, as it has done several times in post-war history, the Pentagon will find ways to push new technology in an era of tight-money.
Forced to do more with less while challenging the Chinese, the Department of Defense (DoD) will invest in high-value technology.
Here are a few examples of what I'm talking about.

Here are a few examples of what I'm talking about.
Virtual Battleground
Consider the impact this will have on cybersecurity and warfare. China tries to hack our defense computers and steal our most sensitive secrets almost daily.
Needless to say, we want to put an end to that. But we also want to learn how to shut down China's computer networks so we can defeat them without firing a single shot.
Consider what happened to Iran's nuclear program in late 2010.
Used as a cyber weapon, the Stuxnet virus crippled Iran's computers, putting the country's plan for atomic weapons at least two years behind schedule.
Of course, there's a civilian spinoff, which along with countless other viruses, poses a threat to average Americans, as well as U.S. corporations.
Making networks more secure would help banks, hospitals, and other firms protect sensitive data from hackers. It also will aid the fast-growing world of mobile commerce, which will soon become a major target for crafty cyber thieves.
That's not all.

That's not all.
The Not-So-Friendly Skies
Unmanned aerial vehicles clearly will get a lift from the New Cold War. Already, the U.S. makes great use of drones to fight terrorists.
And training pilots to operate drones remotely just got a big boost. Working at a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) lab, a former Navy pilot wrote an iPhone app that allows anyone with a smart phone to learn the basics in a matter of minutes.
But the Navy has a much bigger goal -- to develop jet aircraft that can take off from and land on an aircraft carrier without a pilot.
It's one of the more daring feats in all of aviation.
Commercial flight would clearly benefit from these innovations. It would help the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) efforts to figure out how to fit unmanned aircraft into the nation's skies.
I predict they'll start with cargo planes and develop a bulletproof safety record before asking passengers to climb on board.

Communication is Key
The New Cold War also will push advances in how well machines "talk" to each other.
Where Air-Sea Battle is concerned, DoD leaders want stealth aircraft and submarines to work closely together. Inevitably, that will mean equipping both with advanced devices that can talk through deeply encrypted channels.
Of course, better machine communications also could boost the next generation of Internet technology known as the "Semantic Web." Currently, the web doesn't share data in a robust way. Instead, the information remains disconnected as though it were all stacked in lots of silos you can't easily see.
Think of the Semantic Web as a series of bridges linking millions of silos. Machines will develop the ability to understand the "semantics" of human language and give you the exact answer you need.
Of course, all this means artificial intelligence (AI) will get even better. That will have ramifications that impact the economy of the future.
Remember, China provides the U.S. with powerful reasons to push defense technology.
First of all, China's navy has harassed U.S. Navy ships and those of our allies in the South China Sea several times since 2009.
And second, its fast economic growth has fueled a large-scale weapons buildup.
Still, that plays to a major U.S. strength - using advanced technology to make each of our soldiers as lethal as several from an opposing army.
Indeed, if the United States wants to maintain its edge over China, it will have to invest in advanced weaponry. And that will improve America's future technology.
