“Luck can often mean simply taking advantage of a situation at the right moment. It is possible to make your luck by being always prepared.” -Michael Korda I thought the above quote was particularly fitting as oil prices continue to flirt with the unheard of $100 per barrel level. Understandably, many folks are concerned about […]
Solar Stocks – SunPower

Agricultural Stocks – Growth Market
The last few months in the market have been quite nerve racking. Stock prices are bouncing up and down like a basketball in a high school gym class. Dow 14,000. . . Dow 13,000. . . Dow 14,000. The 200 and 300 point swings we see every day make picking the right stock all the more important. […]

Ethanol – Inflation
Food. Like clockwork you and I sit down to 3 and sometimes more meals every day. The desire to feed our rumbling bellies is intuitive. You don’t need to think about being hungry, just like you don’t need to think to have your heart beat! As I sat down to dinner last night at a […]
Uranium Investing
Today, Uranium surpassed the mythical $100 per pound level based upon continued supply concerns. Apparently one of Australia’s largest uranium mines was partially flooded, reducing the potential for supply into the market.
