Rocket Above Stock Market Turbulence Next Week

Who knows what Monday October 06 2008 will bring? Will stock markets swallow the bailout bill? What if the world thinks of this Bush administration parting gift as Americans did of the $600 checks last Spring?

Why take chances when you have sure-shot stock options? Look for industries with excellent prospects, and pick stocks at bargain prices. There are plenty of discount offers around if only you know where to look. Consider geo-thermal energy. There is plenty to go around beneath the surface of the earth. It is clean, and promotes security as well. Sure, you need capital to bring it to the surface, and to make electricity out of it, but you get more for your tax dollars than the childish ideas Bush and company have.

Nevada and Oregon lead the world in discovering geo-thermal wealth. British Columbia, with its typical sustainability zeal is a major player as well. Geo-thermal resources have been found in far-flung places such as Guatemala and Guatemala. Many countries that hanker after crude oil and uranium imports probably sit on untold resources under their very feet.

American stock markets are replete with excellent geo-thermal energy stocks. Post below or write to me at drsbanerji@gmail.com for free tips to find them.

Evidence Based Business Management Reasons to Buy this Sunk Stock

I love Metalico Incorporated (AMEX: MEA). Recycling is just what the doctor ordered for the economy. Metalico has facilities in the most durable industrial realty in the world. A Beta of 2.18 has pushed the Price to Earnings Ratio to an incredible 7.32. The stock market thinks poorly of the stock, which is now available very close to its 52-week low of $4.90. It is a text-book case of evidence based stock investment.

Much of business management and stock investing is based on exaggeration and bias. Sadly, people in respectable positions of influence and authority resort to these tricks most. Small investors and business owners get carried away as a result. It need not be so. Everyone can take business and stock investment decisions systematically and based on relevant facts. There are other stocks such as MEA that you can pick for profits. Evidence Based Management works for small business just as well.

IRS.GOV Holds the Key for the Senate Bailout Vote

The US Senate is in session as I post this. The senate bailout vote will do as much for the economy as the Fed's repeated interest rate deductions have achieved over the past 12 months.

Debates on the financial mess will continue even after the senate bailout vote. It cannot end until true main-street concerns have been met. It is a time for new ideas. A great place for them is at http://www.irs.gov/

IRS.GOV is the best way to separate main street from Wall Street. Here are my ideas for selective bailout of the deserving: 

1. Suspend foreclosures of modest residences of single-home families. Use the $700 billion to purchase book debts of the poor.

2. Strengthen bankruptcy infrastructure so that Wall Street can apply for and undergo due process quicker.

3. Replace the Fed. Get skilled professionals of integrity. Outsource to the Prime Minister of India if no one in the United States qualifies.

4. Leverage the U.S. strategic oil serve, Iraqi oil reserves, and the Bush equation with the Saudi King to force OPEC below $50 a barrel.

5. Extend the main street bailout to health insurance as well.

Business Charge of the Stock Brigade

I turn to NASDAQ: BWLD on checking the morning news. You should do this as well to stay sane during these crazy times.

Bail-out blame will get us nowhere. The trick is to isolate your precious investments from Paulson and Company. 

Buffalo Wild Wings is the brand to remember when you are hungry. It works for dividends just as well as for your stomach. October 2008 opens with the stock price at well over double the 52-week low. The Earnings per Share are a solid 1.25. Let me tell you why this stock will continue to rise, no matter what they do in Washington:

Firstly, the brand is positioned just right. It is neither casual dining that does not show you in good light, nor priced like fine dining. Value for money is just what U.S. diners need at this time.

Secondly, these guys have got their math right. What have they done in the face of a realty crisis? They have bought over franchises in Las Vegas. This is precisely the kind of IRR injection your stock portfolio needs.

Sadly, I am a poor Indian and have nearly no dollars. That should work for you, because you can rest assured that I have no hidden axes to grind in recommending great stocks to bail you out of the financial mess of the Bush.

Besides, I am an incorrigible vegetarian and have no desire to sample any buffalo wings.

The Mark-to-Market Mantra

Replacement accounting is as old as the financial hills. Realistic asset valuation is one of the first things an honest auditor or credit rater will question. These are also means of corruption. Dishonest and inept regulators will mark-to-market their personal portfolios, even as they turn blind official eyes to the savings of the citizens they are sworn to serve. 

Mark-to-market works both ways. You can use the regulatory shield to hide enormous assets from acquisitive eyes. This is the route favored by the Washington elite which builds nest-eggs for retirement while enjoying the vast powers of office. Brands are typical examples of assets that are not reported on financial statements. Land is another basis of manipulation: you can get away with any valuation you like. Greenspan is an authority on this. He not only predicted the housing melt-down, but is a consultant for cronies who have made top-dollars out of the mess. 

Join the powerful since you cannot beat 'em. Use brands and under-stated land values to make a killing out of the current stock market misery. Use retail audits and 10-Q submissions to achieve this. You can also use your hands and feet and generate primary data.

How to Dodge the Tab for the Bail Out Bill

The world is both global and unipolar. That means we all feel ill when the United States wheezes. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 divides all of us in to two camps: the fortunate few who will benefit, and the masses that will foot the bill. Where do you stand?

Washington's bail out plan has Wall Street pulling unseen strings. It is an 'us versus them' thing. Large banks have proved that trust is for the birds. It is up to each of us to build investment portfolios for retirement that can weather all storms. Here are 5 top leads to a bail out plan that works for you:

1. Invest in the domestic economies of the BRIC block. 

2. Buy stocks of companies with mines

3. Invest in corporations with brands at low and multiple price points

4. Support organizations that use environmental conservation as a competition lever

5. Add biotechnology and nanotechnology to your stock portfolio

A Stock to Treasure

The NASDAQ trading symbol is sure to catch your eye. However, there is more than a name to draw attention to this wonderful stock. Converted Organics Incorporated turns organic waste in to cash. This is exactly the kind of thing we need to climb out of the current Financial Sector morass. Politicians may spend interminable hours chewing the cud on Capitol Hill, but you can gain most by investing in the right stocks.

The management has acquired appropriate technology for organic waste conversion. This converts avoidable cash outflows in to valuable assets. The company also has long-term lease options in places such as Rhode Island. This makes the late-September 2008 stock price of around $6 a rare bargain. It is an opportunity to grab without delay.
