US Homes can be without power after December 30 2013
Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship
From Angel Nexus
American Homes could be in the dark because of shortage of Uranium. 31 states in the US are powered up by nuclear energy. And most of the uranium comes from dismantled 20,000 Russian warheads.
Demand from US nuclear power plants is 43 million pounds of uranium. US can supply only 10% of this. The last supply of uranium from Russia ends two weeks from now. And there is no way by which the supply grid can be replaced soon?
Russia is no mood, especially USSR President Putin, with his criticism of US exceptionalism is in a mood to renew or extend the supply contract. What will US do next?
What is the crisis, the opportunity?

The Most Popular Letter of the Year
By Nick Hodge | Tuesday, December 25th, 2012
Dear Reader,
Our idea for today was to send you the most popular article of the year.
Unfortunately, in the times we live in, your favorite articles don't do much for spreading holiday cheer... We don't wear rose-colored glasses around here. We like to think that's why you read us.
So, at the risk of being labeled a Scrooge, here's a reprinting of the article Energy and Capital readers chose as the most-liked of the year.
Enjoy...
Nick
America sucks.
It hasn't always. But it does right now. And it doesn't have to stay that way. You can change it...
Of course, some people won't agree with me. They'll say it's the greatest nation on earth. The freest. Home of the brave.
To them I ask: Would the freest nation on earth publicly execute a wheelchair-bound double amputee at a home for the mentally ill?
It happened recently in Houston. The courageous men in blue there opened fire on the man who was wielding a pen after he demanded a cigarette and a soda.
This guy had one arm and one leg and was mentally ill. Houston cops shot him in the head.
How brave they were. How free we are.

Al Gore Dumps Green Energy!
According to the Washington Post, Al Gore made $100 million from investing in government-backed "green" energy firms...
Now he can't get out of them fast enough!
And it's no wonder, as dozens of these epic failures continue to drop like flies after gorging themselves on $90 billion of your money.
Get all the scandalous details right here.
Six Michigan police fired 46 bullets at a mentally ill homeless man in July.
Michigan's finest, well-trained, and noble officers hit the man 11 times — with fewer than 25% of their shots.
Two of those fine Michigan men have been reprimanded; one has been demoted. Their names were not released.
These are the kind of militarized morons policing our country. Protecting us no more, their job is to instill fear and keep the populace at bay.
But that's how it is, isn't it? A veil of secrecy has been erected between the government (and its enforcers) and the people.
You vote for a candidate who pledges to do X or to repeal Y, and what do you get? Nothing. Their agenda is their own, formulated at the request of the highest bidder, meant only to further entrench their power and line their pockets...
Big Pharma. Big Retail. Big Tobacco. Big Health Care. Big Oil. Big Agriculture. Big Banks. Big Government.
Take Two Every 8 Hours, Stay Off Drugs
Prescription pills kill 140,000 people every year in the United States, severely injure one million, and send two million to the hospital.
Side effects include brain damage, stroke, pulmonary disease, cardiac arrest, perforated ulcers, cancer, liver failure, and addiction.
Those are legal drugs.
Illegal drugs kill about 5,000 Americans per year, mostly from cocaine and heroine.
Tell me, on which drugs should we wage a war?
The facts are clear. But Big Government and Big Pharma — which spends $100 million per year lobbying (bribing) politicians — can't get a cut from the "bad" drugs.
So 1.5 million Americans are locked up each year for illegal drug-related crimes, while Big Pharma drug reps make great livings taking doctors out for expensive lunches every day so they push their pills.
And 80% of those 1.5 million arrests are for possession, so those fine cops mentioned earlier aren't even getting the distributors.
What's more, 44% of possession arrests are for marijuana — which kills no one — rather than for the harder stuff that does.
Yet since the 1980s over a quarter-trillion of your tax dollars have gone to fight a war on drugs that kills millions fewer people than the legal ones executives and congressmen are profiting from.
Drug dealing isn't drug dealing when it's state sanctioned.

On January 1, 2013: Gold = Money
Massive Revalue: Gold as a Tier 1 Asset
The biggest upside catalyst for gold is a massive reevaluation by the Basel Committee of Bank Supervision.
BCBS sets the international rules for banks. Currently gold is rated as a Tier 3 asset. This means banks can only carry 50% of its market value as capital.
This will change in a few short months...
The Basel Committee is planning on turning gold into a Tier 1 asset so that it can be carried at 100% of its value. The more Tier 1 assets a bank has, the more money it can lend.
This will double the price of gold almost overnight. You must act now!
To quote Gerald Celente, whose book What Zizi Gave Honeyboy inspired this essay: "It actually all makes perfect sense in a system in which justice is measured by the size of political campaign contributions."
And it's not only pharmaceutical drugs; the hypocrisy is multiplied when you inspect alcohol and tobacco, which do tens of billions each year in sales and spend hundreds of millions bribing so-called 'lawmakers.'
Smoking kills about 450,000 Americans each year. Alcohol kills another 150,000.
But remember, kids, Altria (Philip Morris), Anheuser-Busch, and Pfizer bribe the government. They have sales goals to meet. Pot growers don't.
Shit: It's What's for Dinner
Lamar Carter is a cattle farmer. He feeds his cows shit.
He's cited in a U.S. News & World report as buying 745 tons of chicken scat and stacking it 12 feet high on his farm. After it sits for seven to 10 days, it's mixed with a small amount of soy bran... and fed to his hundreds of cows.
He's quoted as saying: "My cows are fat as butterballs. If I didn't have chicken litter, I'd have to sell half my herd. Other feed's too expensive."
You may have also heard the recent story going around about another cattle farmer feeding candy to his cows.
And I shouldn't have to recount the squalid conditions your beef and chicken inhabit while alive, injected with hormones and antibiotics (half of the antibiotics made in the U.S. are for animals), starved, and then force-fed to
I won't even tell you where millions of euthanized dogs and cats end up.
Is it any surprise 80 million Americans contract a foodborne illness annually (over a quarter of the population), 9,000 of them meeting their maker because of it?
Have you noticed there were no warnings for eating undercooked meat or eggs 20 years ago?
But like drugs, where does the regulator's hammer come down?
Surely not on the Hormels, Cargills, Tysons, and Perdues who are so profit-hungry they feed the animals you eat feces... but on the small mom-and-pop farmers trying to make it on their own selling all-natural beef, chicken, and vegetables.
In many states, it's illegal to sell raw milk. In others, small farms have been raided at gunpoint. (By whom? By those lovely militarized police we talked about earlier.)
Guess which operations have enough to bribe the lawmakers you elected?
And then those politicians have the gumption to decry the loss of small businesses during their election campaigns when it's them putting them out of business.

Have You Heard About This Government-Aided Profit Program?
I recently learned of an ex-fireman who's been using an underground profit secret to magnify his wealth many times over.
It has nothing to do with stocks... options... bonds... or anything else you've likely come across.
Instead, it's a unique way to make money using a government-aided program that's been in place since 2010.
Click here for the full details on this program — and how you could start multiplying your cash.
America!
I could go on and on about the current injustices plaguing the American system. (And I will next week... and the one after that.)
Like how your Nobel Peace Prize-winning president increased troop levels in Afghanistan, a so-called "troop surge," who are now coming home and "leaving behind an uncertain landscape of rising violence and political instability that threatens to undo considerable gains in security," as the NYT reported last week.
Last year was the deadliest year for American troops in Afghanistan since the war began. This year could rival it.
Soldier suicides are at an all-time high, and are beginning to outpace deaths on the battlefield. That's some kinda peace.
There was once a time when leaders like Washington and Eisenhower actually led wars. And they knew the desperation it caused — and that it should be used only as a last result.
Now we carry on wars for years, the suffering felt only by the lower classes, while draft-dodgers, community organizers, and Mormon teachers decry its necessity having never witnessed first-hand its atrocities. If they want a war so bad, I say give them a rucksack and rifle and send them out there.
Try to guess how much money Lockheed and Raytheon and Northrup Grumman spend taking your elected officials out to dinner. (It was up 11.5% in the first quarter this year to just under $16 million.)
Or how about the constant flow of banking scams at the highest level, only to never see any major prosecutions or law changes...
You might understand why if you knew the banks and their political action committees (bribe squads) spent nearly $20 million on political candidates — Democrat and Republican — in 2010.
Banks like JPMorgan, Citigroup, and Bank of America have spent $16 million since 2011 trying to get people elected who make or bend laws in their favor. Congressmen, on average, get $20,000 per year from the banks. Senators get about $30,000, but it was up near $100,000 leading up to the implosion of our economy.
No wonder they continue to bill this as "the greatest nation on earth"...
They're making money hand over fist while everyone else struggles.
What I don't understand is why the majority continue to buy into it.
It was Hitler who said if you repeat the same lie often enough, people will eventually believe it.
So How Great Is It?
It's great enough that Americans now work 160 more hours per year than they did 20 years ago.
And for what?
How's your purchasing power? Your home value? Your savings account?
It's no wonder a majority of people think the country is suffering from a moral breakdown.
To quote from Celente's book:
If the "American way" was working so well, why was "stress" cited as the primary cause for the 25% increase in sick days? Why do stress-related problems account for 60% to 90% of doctors' visits in the United States?
If "life has gotten better," why are 5% of our children being fed Ritalin to calm them down, and why are we gulping down more than a million dollars' worth of Prozac a day to keep steady?
I think it's because they're chasing a dream they know they can't attain — or worse, no longer even exists.

The Wal-Mart "Triple Dividend" Secret
Wal-Mart currently pays a 2.6% dividend. Not bad for one of the most stable companies in the entire world...
But there's an easy way you can stick with Wal-Mart — and triple that dividend payment.
Almost one-third of Americans say they've been on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
For years now there's been a growing sense of something being truly wrong with our country. The Occupy Movement has been the most vocal about it, but they aren't fully representing the problem.
Bankers, for all their faults, are only leveraging the system they live in; the Supreme Court, after all, has affirmed that companies are people, and can donate limitlessly and anonymously to political campaigns.
We've allowed our country to reach a point where we've sold our happiness and sense of community to the highest bidder, and only those at the top of industry and top of government get true profit.
A family of four could once live well on one salary. Now two aren't enough to scrape by.
As Celente concludes in the chapter entitled, "Make money your God and it will plague you like the devil":
If the facts show — and the people say — they're unhappy and morally starved, and large numbers are on the verge of cracking up, is the "American way" delivering on its promise?
When the media and politicians talk about other nations that don't have the financial and material riches of the United States, they tell us the people in those countries are "living in poverty," but as any seasoned world traveler will tell you, "poverty" is a relative term. It can be argued that while people living in poor nations lack our material comforts, many of them possess the wealth of community and the family prosperity that has dissipated in America and among her people.
A close friend of mine, a mid-level derivatives manager at Citi, recently quit his job to move to South America. An accountant here in my office headed to Melbourne,
Departing isn't the only option, though it is increasingly appealing. I'm going to stick it out here for a while, perhaps on a remote farm, if I can swing it...
Of course, no matter where you choose to live, acquiring and growing capital always makes it easier.
I'll continue to try to help you do that every week — while also wading through the events and policies of a stranger and stranger world.
Call it like you see it,

Fwd: Meet the Editors of Energy and Capital

Jeff Saegel

More feed from Energy and Capital. Meet their editors who are experts on various field: oil and natural gas, rare earth metals, etc. They are Keith Kohl, Nick Hodges, Jeff Siegel, and Christian DeHaemer
These guys like Jim Rogers want commodities: hard assets. While the rest make money on technology, they want hard assets: what people will use and consume for their equipment and daily needs. That is going to basics - basic needs. And that is correct perception and critical thinking.

Without energy, everything comes to a grinding halt.
Today, energy is at a crossroads. Like a lit fuse, a catastrophe of immeasurable proportion is looming...
Even though the energy crisis is beginning to make its way into the media limelight, very few people are aware of the true scope and magnitude of this crisis.
With today's seemingly abundant energy supply, it can be difficult for us to imagine an energy-limited world. Nevertheless, the impending energy crisis is coming. Today, energy is at a crossroads. Like a lit fuse, a catastrophe of immeasurable proportion is looming...
Even though the energy crisis is beginning to make its way into the media limelight, very few people are aware of the true scope and magnitude of this crisis.
And like the ancient phoenix, a great opportunity will rise from the ashes of this crisis.
There will be those — like Energy and Capital readers — who will be given the foresight and vision to exploit the stock and investment opportunities of the new energy economy.
Meet the cast of experts who will be guiding you along the way...
Keith Kohl
Each week, Energy and Capital Editor in Chief Keith Kohl reports on oil and energy to over 150,000 readers.
A true insider in the energy markets, Keith's research has helped thousands of investors capitalize off the rapidly changing face of energy.
For over a year, Keith covered the massive domestic Bakken oil formation — and the companies profiting right now — before news broke to the mainstream press. He was there for the Haynesville Shale formation and also for the Marcellus natural gas formation uncovering the real stories there... and the real opportunities.
So far in 2010, Keith has banked 13 positions for gains. But that's nothing compared with what he's done since last year... Since June, 2009, Keith has closed 34 for 35 winners. Two of his biggest gainers — of which he still holds — are up a combined 967%.
And he's one of the only financial reporters around who's actually been to Alberta's remote tar sands region — and met with every major player in the booming Canadian oil operation.
In addition, Keith is a contributor to the $20 Trillion Report. He's pulled in some fantastic gains for his readers there as well. This includes a 69% gain in Crescent Energy, a 46% gain in Kodiak Oil and Gas, and a solid 34% in Earthstone Energy.
Jeff Siegel
Jeff is the co-founder and managing editor of Green Chip Stocks, an independent investment research service that focuses primarily on stocks in both the renewable energy and organic & natural food markets.
An environmentalist and self-professed health nut, Jeff is also a raging capitalist who believes the dawn of the LOHAS market (lifestyles of health and sustainability) will usher in a new way of life — as well as a new generation of wealth.
From 1994 to 2001, Jeff worked for Agora Publishing before packing his bags and traveling across the globe in search of mega-trends and his own version of nirvana.
He found both in the burgeoning renewable energy and organic & natural foods markets.
Jeff's early analyses of these markets drew much criticism from the status quo. His youth, environmental stances, and abrasive nature didn't earn him many accolades from colleagues, either... But after picking winner after winner, many have since traded their preconceptions of green markets for profits.
Often declaring "Capitalism is a catalyst for change," Jeff continues to spot the most lucrative renewable energy and organic food companies in the world. And subscribers to his Green Chip Stocks have made small fortunes in the process.
Every week, Jeff highlights investment opportunities in the fast-growing LOHAS market. Recent gains include 221.05% on BioteQ Environmental Technologies, 145.51% on Converge Inc., 179/78 on Yingli Energy, 220.31% on Energy Focus Inc., and an astounding 321.07% on EnerNOC Inc.
Jeff also works as a consultant, has been a featured guest on Fox, CNBC and Bloomberg Asia, and is the author of the bestselling energy book, Investing in Renewable Energy: Making Money on Green Chip Stocks.
Nick Hodge
One of the bright young minds in today's cleantech industry, Nick is putting his knowledge of nascent green markets to use in several ways...
He's the Managing Editor of Alternative Energy Speculator, an investment advisory service focused on taking advantage of every aspect of cleaner energy: from the stop-gap companies that are making a fortune lowering carbon emissions to makers of more fuel efficient engines and other technologies that will help the U.S. successfully build a bridge from current fuel to the energy of the future.
But that's not all... Alternative Energy Speculator has been riding a lightning bolt of profits the past few months. Nick has scored a 391% gain on BYD Company for his readers. Those same readers also enjoyed a 26^ gain on A-Power Generation, 60% on Cosan, and 70% on Power-Save Energy.
As the strength of the "green" market grew over the course of 2010, Nick realized his readers could bag quick profits on fast-moving energy companies without using a buy-and-hold mentality. The Alternative Energy Speculator spin-off — Alternative Energy Trader — has already realized 23% gains on Westport Innovations, 51% On Nevada Geothermal, and 426% on a tiny American nuclear company that only Nick's readers know about.
Also concerned with the world's dwindling availability of fresh water, Nick has been able to uncover a new generation of young, profitable companies that are set to explode as the world's energy crisis falls in line with an even more catastrophic water crisis.
From water treatment to water conservation technology, Nick's already on the inside — scoping out the most profitable opportunities this crisis will deliver for decades to come.
Most recently, Nick has become increasingly interested in carbon markets and the profit opportunities they create. He's an expert on the Kyoto Protocol and its associated carbon markets. And he's a strong proponent of a domestic cap-and-trade system, keeping a close eye on that situation as it develops.
An avid outdoorsman, when he's not watching the ticker or writing for Green Chip Stocks and Energy & Capital, Nick can be found fishing the vast tributaries of the Chesapeake or in the woods looking to bag the big one.
Nick is a regular contributor to Energy & Capital and Wealth Daily, and has been featured on Canada's Business News Network and Yahoo!'s Tech Ticker, and is the co-author of the bestselling book, Investing in Renewable Energy: Making Money on Green Chip Stocks.
Christian DeHaemer
For the last 14 years, Christian DeHaemer has beaten every major market index. His gains include making 10% in 2007, a year when many people saw their net worth cut in half.
Christian uses a unique blend of value investing coupled with a specific catalyst he calls the Hammer, Trigger and Spark system — a system that keeps your money in play and ensures rapid profits.
Over the years he has traveled to Cuba, Egypt, India, and Bulgaria, among other frontier markets, in search of ridiculously low values and massive upside.
He bought numerous gold mining stocks in November 2007 when they were trading for less than cash and were completely unwanted. One gold stock is up 303% in seven months; all are up triple digits.
When blood runs in the streets, Christian buys that fear with a cool hand. He bought oil wildcatters when the price per barrel was plummeting into the $30s; he took profits a few months later when oil was pushing $80.
When asked about today's market, he'll tell you that you want to trade the volatility short-term using options and buy hard assets on the dip for the long term. He encourages buying stuff you can drop on your foot: oil, gold, and other commodities.
Christian goes on to say, "Mongolia will be the best performing market over the next five years."
Why Mongolia?
"I'll have the whole report out shortly... Laugh now, but mark my words: It's going to be huge."
