BWMG stock

REMEMBER, I am NOT a licensed commodities trader or stock seller or certified financial adviser or anything of the sort. ONLY invest if you can afford to lose every penny you put in the stocks you buy, whether they are Microsoft or BWMG. The stock I have been pushing here (BWMG) is available at a very, very low price. It is so low that almost anyone can afford to buy 500,000 shares.  The price (as of 11:30 this morning EST) is holding steady at .0008 per share.  That's a good thing. Depending on which broker you deal with, 500,000 shares will set you back about $420 dollars. If the price were at 2 cents, it might be too risky for most of you since you would be shelling out $10,000 for the same number of shares (500,000) and that is a very long shot for spur-of-the-moment speculation. Most of you can't shell out $10,000 just for the sheer hell of it. HOWEVER, at .0008, BWMG is still too attractive to pass up, even for the very smallest investor. Good luck. 

Saxo Bank

There’s this bank in Denmark called the Saxo Bank. It was founded by two men who only have a high school education. Since they have done very well, they can now afford the best talent in the field so that they really don’t need to know anything other than how to motivate their people (they have 1000 employees) and read the bottom line, where it reads “net income.” They have come out with a ridiculous list of prognostications for 2009. Here it is: 1. There will be an Iranian Revolution, 2. Crude oil will hit $25 a barrel, 3. The S&P 500 will hit 500, 4. Italy will drop the EURO, 5. The Aussie dollar will slump, 6. The U.S. Dollar will outstrip the Euro, 7. China’s GDP will go down to zero, 8. Eastern European currencies will fall, 9. Commodity prices will plunge, 10. The Yen will become a currency peg for other Asian currencies. All of this is way off base, but Saxo Bank (an online broker like Scottrade and Etrade but with a banking license) is putting it out to generate some publicity. I shall refer to this list every month to see how their projections are going. I think the woman at left is Danish but that's really irrelevant.

Hemlines and the Economy 2

As I have said before - if you want to know what the economy is up to, look at hemlines. This woman and her husband are taking a nice stroll - they are not worried about deflation and neither should you. Here is an article (which I condensed) taken from an investor advisory newsletter. I'm posting it because I agree with what it says, although most economists don't. By Martin Hutchinson: "The U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) and Consumer Price Index (CPI) both fell in October. Those declines – combined with sharp downward spirals in worldwide stock and commodity prices – have caused many analysts, and even central bankers, to worry that we are on the brink of deflation.
Such concerns may be warranted in the short-term. But in the long run, deflation won’t be the challenge we face.
Thanks to an overly aggressive central bank, and more than $1.5 trillion in U.S. Treasury Department bailout programs – as well as other factors related to the ongoing global financial crisis – inflation will be the problem that ultimately bedevils us.
As long as oil and commodity prices drop, the PPI and CPI indices, which include oil and commodity prices, also will fall. Such a decline, however, does not constitute deflation; it is simply a one-time price adjustment. This is particularly true if most of the commodity-price declines are simply a reversal of excessive increases that had occurred over the previous year. That’s essentially what we’ve been seeing here. However, the deflation believers currently have an additional argument: With output in the United States plunging, and the stock market down around 50% from its October 2007 peak, there are very few pressures pushing prices upward. ... this, however, will not turn into deflation, unless the recession is exceptionally prolonged. Currently, output and employment are dropping very sharply, as is the stock market. This cannot continue for more than a few months – the latest being perhaps late spring of the New Year. As output declines, forces pushing it towards recovery will become stronger and equilibrium will appear." If you can buy 100,000 shares of any safe, conservative stock, do so, while the price is still low.

Absolutely sure

It's still not too late. I know the market was down today, but it didn't reach down to 8500, did it? Of course not. I told you so. 8500 was the low point. If you had purchased a minimum of 100,000 shares as I advised four weeks ago, you would be showing a tidy profit today, even with the market down as it was. By the way, that's not the new Treasury Secretary to the left, that's Claudia Maria from Buenos Aires, Argentina. How do I know? I make it my business to know. The same way I know the housing mess will bottom out in about two months - perhaps less. You might still be able to ride the stocks to a small profit but not nearly as healthy as you might have. Tomorrow, the market should settle down, but unless you took advantage and made some reasonable purchases today, it will make no difference. Oh, well.

Sell fast

If you live in one of these zip codes and are planning to sell your house, you're lucky. According to Business Week magazine, these are the fastest selling zip codes in the country - houses are averaging about 70 days on the market (compared to six months elsewhere): 94087 and 92131 (in California); 78749, 75075, and 77094 (in Texas); 97202 (in Oregon), 01880 (in Massachussetts); 98117 (in Washington); 80130 (in Colorado); and 30340 (in Georgia). According to Smart Money, the hardest hit states when the housing bubble burst were Nevada, Florida, California, and Arizona.
