60 Minutes Cold Fusion (Video and Text)

clipped from allamericaninvestor.blogspot.com Twenty years ago it appeared, for a moment, that all our energy problems could be solved. It was the announcement of cold fusion - nuclear energy like that which powers the sun - but at room temperature on a table top. It promised to be cheap, limitless and clean. Cold fusion would end our dependence on the Middle East and stop those greenhouse gases blamed for global warming. It would change everything. "We can yield the power of nuclear physics on a tabletop. The potential is unlimited. That is the most powerful energy source known to man," researcher Michael McKubre told 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley.

Stocks the Nervous Norvis Market (Chart and View)

clipped from allamericaninvestor.blogspot.com When the market moves down for a couple of days your typical Nervous Norvis bull gets sweaty palms and heart palpitations. A couple of days down and the bears are pounding their chest. The only thing the bears can think about is bad news. Left to wonder of course, why is the market going up with all this bad news--the world is coming to an end. The Stock market is in a classic uptrend from the capitulation low. During the capitulation phase the slope of the market became too severe to maintain and the market hooked off the lows as should have been expected.

Get Your TARP Before it is Too Late

clipped from allamericaninvestor.blogspot.com Last one in is a rotten egg. I moved to Florida just before the run of monster hurricanes. I had to look on as shortage of tarps caused additional hardship. People with leaking roofs couldn't get tarps, so when it rained the water just poured through the roof causing additional damage. Now I find myself wondering if there are enough TARPs (Troubled Asset Relief Program) to go around. The Treasury Department has decided to extend bailout funds to a number of struggling life-insurance companies. It appears that if you own a bank holding company or a savings and loan, you are qualified for a TARP. Soon these insurance companies will be crying "pour mouth" because they aggressively sold variable rate annuities tied to the performance of the stock market. Sooner or later, the Treasury is going to run out of TARP. Reminds me of the saying--"last one in is a rotten egg".

clipped from www.alzheimersreadingroom.com My mother drove her car over one of those white, concrete abutments in the parking lot. She scrapped against a tree-- the tree tore off the entire passenger side of her car, front to back. She stopped when she bounced off the wall of her building. It turned out this was more than a "senior moment". Eighteen months later my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
