Business Journal for Week Of September 27,2011

Wall Street Investing

Well, It is another ho hum day on wall street today as the doldrums continue in financial markets with most everything losing traction on the Dow and NASDAQ composite indexes. If you want to make money in a market like this one this month you better get your pencil ready and do your homework really good. It sure does not hurt to keep a pack of tums next to your bed and desk to ward off the restless market syndrome you are going to have before closing bell each day. You see with this kind of market down slide and then sharp jerk up before closing bell at the end of trading day you could play long ball on your game. If you are a good contrariety investor then only do it if your investing in dividend paying stocks that offset market panic swells when the investors hit the exit door. I am always fond of trading on the down swing in the market so you can pick up some good cheaply beaten down stocks and bonds at a below fair market value. For with this strategy by doing this you are going to severely increase your profit potential when it is time to hit the dump button at the top of the of swing up hill on the stock or bond. You got to be proactive on this way of trading on a uneven market and use your available tools to achieve real time strategic success on wall street investing. I have said it many times before but it is worth repeating here that if you don't have the guts and nerve to be a investor then you should consider going back to working a nine to five job making peanuts for yourself. On the other hand if you want to risk it all and want to make money hand over fist in a just a matter of minutes or a few hours a day then you come to the right vehicle to do it. Wall Street is by no means for everyone and it has taken me two decades of learning to come to understand how to correctly invest a portfolio and where,when to do it so as to minimize core account loss. If you think your good at a lot of things you will have a rough ride with investment at first because let's face it the ones on Wall Street don't like new people horning in on their secrets of getting rich and they will do most anything to get you to lose your shirt while laughing at you. In one word money managers are RUTHLESS and that is why they are rich just like bankers are rich too because they guard their wealth and secrets of making it available to a very select few insider.. Market insiders are a complete contradiction to every ones sense of fair game and that is how they keep getting richer by normal peoples ignorance of how everything works on a trading platform. How do you think the rich in investment banking and Wall Street seemingly never go with out a Gulf Stream jet,Armani suits and fancy everything in life? It is pretty simple to see it if you look careful at the whole idea of investing it is a game of chance an big risk involved in doing it but play the game the right way and you gain a quick fortune like all the bulls do or head for the exit door with your crying towel and your tail between your legs. Having said that you can minimize your portfolio risk if you watch for certain signs that the market gives out on a minute by minute real time basis on what ever stock or bond your invested in at the time you trade it. Yes, it is a business and it is a very profitable one at best but you got to learn not to put your heart in it like prize possessions and know when to buy and when to sell it to make your profit quota for that day. If you learn by doing it and minimize your mistakes which you are bound to make then you can make yourself into another Warren Buffet as this is part of how he made himself the richest man on earth. Take my advise it is a good wealth building vehicle that will if done right wipe out all your debt and make you a overnight favorite with your new found friends as being rich does that on Wall Street over and over again..

New Bailout Spending Package

Well it is soon to be a break time here at work so I want to address the new 4 trillion dollar deficit reduction bill proposed by president Oboma. With out getting to much flower in the yeast here it is just going to make things better for all of America when government spends less and taxes all of us working folks less too. It is really going to help American business which will look at this with much enthusiasm but remember how many times they have been promised something and had the rug ripped out from under them. When it is all said and done my thought is that it really is just a smoke screen for new taxation on everyone because now supposedly the US Treasury is going to broke. HelloWashington DC., Americans are saying wake up you can not spend us into oblivion without some kind of pain along the way in economics and the rest of our country becoming the single largest debtor nation on earth. It seems that as soon as most people get elected to office they make a u-turn and forget they work for this country and go to the side of greed not caring who they make the laws about just simple exempting themselves always from it. That is the same attitude of political correctness that has made us a debtor nation with China our biggest creditor in the world and also our biggest threat to our soviernty. You see when we as a nation continue to over spend our GDP and our capacity to pay our bills what do you think is going to happen? The answer does not take a economist to tell you that your stupid and you SPENT yourself broke on all the government socialized state combined with over taxation and killing the business creative people with burdening regulations that drive them out of business. You can not expect to keep business in this country afloat when you tax them into never land and you drive investors way from investing in America. I remember Ross Perot who said that if your going to get America running again you got to cut government bloat and stop taxing and heavy regulating everything and  everyone in this country into being broke which makes sense to me. you see the last round of blind side economics that just happened recently by raising the national debt another 2.7 trillion dollars is just madness. When is the elected people in Congress going to start making the right decisions and reverse the economic pain that is being felt by the rest of Americans? The answer might not surprise you if you are old enough to remember alot of history in America. Congress loves to spend money and write blank checks that you and everyone else is stuck paying for while quite factually exempting themselves from all the wrong that they are doing to all of America. If the Fed would get the monetary policy right and stop monkeying with interest rates that cause flash stock market crashes and nervous investors heading for the TUMS for bad stomach jitters then we could solve another problem. By working on the problems that America has instead of failing to address it you can get a clear direction to go and make a sound policy decisions that put America back to work and back to economic stability. You have to at some point make the right decisions that put America back on a solid ground by doing it or you will fail completely as a nationn and that would be the wrong thing to do for a great nation that our founding fathers so wonderfully created called America. In order to right all the wrong that is being done to current generations and all future generations the right time is now to begin cleaning up our mess and getting our country out of the economic hole we have dug ourselves into by changing how we do business. That is really not as hard as it si to do but we as a nation have to come to terms with our mistakes and start fixing them before it really is too late to fix these mistakes later in the future.. Food for thought to all my readership as to how much you are all going to effected by the coming wave of new spending and taxation in our great nation of America..

Tax Code Changes

I am writing today to update everyone on the new tax code changes that are being kicked around in the U.S. Congress and by the President which are going to significantly effect everyone in America. Let us start out with how this new proposal will work at it's present bill state without admendements as it is a giant step in taxing corporate America into a higher bracket by adding another 22 percent tax hike to every American business. While not addressing the real issue of government spending gone way out of control in the matter of way to many programs that do nothing except spend tax dollars that are wasted on them. For my readers you can look for the combined income tax rate for personal income tax is according to the now sponsored bill going down by 12 percent in the next year but if your the employer your going to feel the pain of a giant tax increase. This kind of taxation is going to chill the economy and with the allready high unemployment rate at 9.1 percent employers are going to seek to not hire any more new workers for the immediate future until government gets it's act together on controlling spending. If you tax the rich who all make over a million dollars which is also a new proposal then what will ahppen is the loss of blue collar sector jobs that make the goods and services that the rich people buy which is nuts to do that. Of course some tax on wealthy people  is good but not to tax them at 43 percent of their income is just not going to help the economy in America get out of the very serious hole that it is in presently. If you tax corporate America into a position of nearly failure on the bottom line then you will see the back lash over it in the banking and every other critical part of the economy. WHY? Well that is eay to answer in that big and small companies combined are more likely to look overseas to continue in business since tax codes in most european countries like Sweden favor American investment. So the the next thing that will happen is a sucking sound of more current jobs and companies moving their operations over to europe and malaysia which will hurt more deeply here in a worse recession in America economy. By shifting jobs over seas which will happen with the new tax code structure you will have less investment and innovation in America combined with more unemployment plus more need to spend money on government social programs in order to support the people who are effected by it. It results in a losing scenario that will push America into a more difficult phase of government growth and less private sector jobs combined with little to no investment here at home in our economy. You can only think back a few years to when Steve Forbes proposed the flat tax and bingo card tax form on how easy it would be to to get America back on a solid financial footing but sadly it failed to gain the much nedded support in Congress and the White House at the time. It really is part of the solution that both Steve Forbes and Ross Poreout combined came up with that would begin to fix our tax code and all the financial mess.

Waste Recycling

Well, I do see some effort to recycle certain items such as cans,bottles,cardboard etc. but in spite of all the recycling programs available by city,town and state waste plants it still does not address the volume and magnitude of the current and future waste disposal problems. Let's us face the facts that as we have grown in technology and become smarter as humans we also have have become a throw away everything society. In fact the really big problem is that we have grown to having a attitude that everything we own including our own life's valuables is eventually disposable so this pose a great burden on on environment.  We have become mostly indifferent in our attitude towards throwing away what is now garbage and the difference in what we value as something to keep. The problem extends to how and what we call waste which goes eventually to a waste site plant for either burial in the ground or in some states which are more sophisticated and burn the garbage for power generation. However the fact is that not all states in America have this ability or even have the money to spend on such a facility that would solve some of our current waste problem. As we grow as a society we have not learn how to recycle the rest of our potential energy sources coming from what we throw away to better manage our earth,air,water and pollution problems. No current plan is in place to address these environmental issues that keep from year to year growing in size but never really being dealt with  properly. We need to build something in many places in America that takes care of all our problems of waste management in a super size project in many states so that we can take a cleaner approach to our waste disposal habits. So far I have not heard any one say that we as a nation ever build such a site and make it use the endless source of waste to generate power and other things that we need in our every day lives. If such a site would be built in certain key locations in America then we could make use of all the garbage we generate every day to better recycle what we throw away into things we really need to survive and prosper as a nation. I have developed this plan and idea of a plant and system to rid ourselves of the awesome problem of how to recycle the items and garbage we don't need and use into something of great value.This is why we have so much pollution is that we have failed to address this problem of proper waste management by not making operational such a plan let alone a real place to deal with this full time makes it a large scale disaster. What we need in order to better manage our waste is to get serious about how we recycle used items and the process all the way to final end product that will ultimately benefit us all now and the future. So how Do we accomplish such a plan and plant? Well, that is actually really a big task but it also very manageable from the standpoint of planning and deployment to a key locations in states that have the vacant land available. If you take a location that is already close to a hiway so that truck access is easier and yet still somewhat rural you would solve both space and size of plant issues as well as environmental impact which has to be fully considered for such a super size processing waste plant. The planning of such a project would take in depth detail research and a lot of study with environmental issues concerns but once that is done you could go on to the construction,development phase. This would eventually make this a viable work horse plant that recycles everything which turns garbage,everything else into power and usable metals,plastics, etc. raw materials for sale in America and overseas. If such a program and plant existed now we could really solve most of our current and future waste disposal and environmental pollution problems that are causing great harm to our environment. By doing this we find a solution to solving one of our biggest world health and environmental issues that cause cancer and other diseases all in one very nice compact package that can make life better for everyone . Deploying such a system would better our health and increase every aspect of our life such as that we would add to the long term quality of life to every American in our country combined with the rest of earth.

Green Energy

I find that recently I have been reading some articles about the new uses of solar,wind and other green energy concepts to provide clean cheap energy for home owners and commercial usage. In reading these articles I am struck by the lack of total users and producers that generate and use these methods of power consumption. So I like a lot of other American are too much dependant on modern power sources like batteries,coal and nuclear power and the list goes on of fossil based fuels used to generate power. If more effort and resources is going to be put towards green energy then everyone ultimately benefits from it and more people including government,business,home owners would gladly make the switch to this cheaper and more efficient energy sources. The trouble with it that most don't know much about it and it is not generally offered to the mainstream public because of initial investment costs of getting your own system to be off the grid permanently. The cost of the initial system is ranging from $10,000 to $30,000 which makes most people not able to afford it except the wealthy who can afford this for their home or business . Most people in America don't even know that there is several government tax credits and programs that are available to install and use this kind of power production system. The usage and install of such a modern system in what ever application they intend to us it for over the life cycle is actually more cost effective and cheap to use than current regular method's such as coal,nuclear,gas and it does little damage to the environment. So if you spend the system cost and itemize it over the period of say just a decade which is ten years you will see that your actually spending tons less in money and yet you get the same or more user output as compared to the regular power systems currently used. You could use those cost savings to build and expand your own grid using solar,wind and hydro electric power for which you could sell to the grid to generate a fat profit share off of the excess electric power that you don't use at your location. There are some good companies that produce solar,wind turbines and hydro power production systems that have more than enough capacity to provide heat,light,water and more to your home or business and even government location. So why are people,government and business not jumping on the band wagon and getting their own systems and using them for all the power needs? Good question.. Well besides te costs involved of initial system purchase and setup then you run the gamut of very costly licensing and permits that can take months or even years to get approved for with your state,town,city that drives the cost up through the roof. Then you got to get approval from the Public Utility Commission to even run the system because you are now put in a separate category as a power producer which is very heavy regulated by both states and the federal government. I know something about this as my father and I tried unsuccessfully to get approval for a solar and wind combined system in the late 1990's and got rejected repeatedly by the P.U.C. (public utility commission) and we found out the hard way that even for a home owner that every system has to licensed and then inspected regularly by the state. Each system must meet federal and state guidelines for power generation which in in of itself is a dizzy array of mindless regulations and hoops that you got to go through before and after your install and system usage. While each state is a little different everyone has to still comply with everything from the location of the system including it to the usage and maintenance of the power grid production which is all cataloged in a government database which is monitored for rules violations. This is why most people who want to put in such a power system eventually give up on ever installing it  due to the heavy handed approach of government involvement and the sheer cost of installing it and maintaining it. With all this people just are basically forced to go back to the regular grid power companies even if they really want to be self sufficient and not have to pay for some other source of power. When you all add the system cost the fees and then a ten thousand dollar license fee from the Public Utility it really makes green energy is not affordable for the average person and only affordable for a very select few who have the dollars to invest in it . The other reason why so few private power systems are functioning today is that nobody wants to be subject to regular inspections and ridicules regulations by government agencies that give the others who are wealthy big business producers a gift in edge against what would ultimately be their competition. It makes it a elite club of companies that have the dollars to invest and are already a part of a public utility a unfair advantage over those who don't have the financial ability to make a  green energy power system installed and functioning. By reducing government involvement and opening it up to private sector companies and people and introducing more privatization you would make these systems more affordable and more of these systems would be in use today and the future. This all by the way very good for the environment as it reduces green house gas emissions,carbon emissions,freon and other pollution that cause serious long term damage the environment. By selecting green energy as a method of satisfying our current,future needs for power we all benefit more from it's installation and usage. This while reducing our dependencies on fossil fuels such as foreign oil,gas,coal,nuclear which choke our environment and drive up the cost of producing and transmitting power to the customer. It is better to derive a future for all of us by using cleaner sources of energy that do our environment good by not harming it and yet  provide for all our power consumption both in the short and long term in our communities and our nation as a whole.

Jobs In America

I could not resist the temptation to sit here and write about the hardships of getting a pqaying job these days. It seems that everyone who wants to work is singing the same blues about the lack of good paying jobs and how badly they or someone they know is being hurt by it. I know because even though I am employed in many business ventures and a paart time job on top of it the cost of living just eats up all my income. It is very hard for people I know to get employment out there in America because nobody is hiring and that is really causing a lot of pain in everyone I meet and my close friends too with one exception because they are filthy rich. The cost of everything is more expensive than what was even a decade ago and yet the lack of jobs and enough income to sustain ones family and yourself is not their anymore. More people have found themselves displaced by the current economic woes than at most any time in history of the last hunderd years. The fact that when you look for a paying job now that you almost allways have to apply online instaed of a paper application has just made it much worse for everyone. If you are supposed to apply online chances are very strong that you will neever hear from the employer you want to work for since you and ten million other people have applied for the same job. You really have to get luvcky now to get noticed and get that first interview for the job you have applied for and really need to pay your bills. It is the truth that some parts of America are better than others and if you are willing to go there you will get lucky and get a good paying job. These economic booming areas are mostly in the southern states and that is where most people are heading these days because of economics. If you want to live you got to go where the money is and some parts of this country are just awefull like New England states and in the mid western states where the economic unemployment rate averages 13 percent. This rate of people who find it hard to find employment is also the reason why more people are losing everything and forced to live in a homeless shelter or on the street with no place to go. Every week I meet more people who say they wish they could raise the standard of living of the bottom but they can not find any means in employment to accomplish that in their life. It is really sad that theses very same people who used to have a home and a great life now have virtually nothing or nothing at all to claim as property and possessions that they own. Looking at the way job applicants are forced into a pool of available  labor is really unfair to the ones who have a talent or trade that is useable but still find because of eceonomics they are not able to work steady and get out of the whole that they are unfortunately find themselves stuck in not enough to provide for themselves and thier families. The amount of people who are unskilled labor is appauling and those re the people who are first to feel the squeeze of a bad economy. Let us face the facts that if you are one of the lucky few who has a home and has a good paying job or independent wealth you are in a small majority compared to the rest of Americans who have part time jobs or no job and no home at all because they can not afford one. The older past generations never thought or sweated about having a paying job or a home and food etc. because they allready had all that and could eaily keep it for teirentire lifetime. Well things have changed alot since then and from the baby boom generations on down things are much more difficult to even get all what our past generations had and took for granted Now a days the nomal is for most people to have little of any assests and possessions because they have not enough money or no money at all in their pockets. This is really the sad but true way lots of Americans are now forced to live because of how the economics in America have effected every corner of society. We all in America are suffering except for the lucky few who have allways had the finances to weather any economic upheaval. So in cloing we are all feeling the pinch in our wallets and lives and if wwe keep going at our current rate of decline most of us will be homeless and living off goverment welfare the rest of our lives which is a sad but true statement for way too many people presently in America.
