Investors – Know Your Investment and the People Behind the Company

…If you aren’t allowed to talk to them on the phone- maybe they don’t want you as an Investor…

POINT ROBERTS, Wash., DELTA, B.C. – January 12, 2009- Investorideas.com introduces a new series of articles, The year of the Independent Investor, designed to empower independent investors to make better investing decisions in 2009 based on their own due diligence skills, intuition and the resources available.

This series was inspired by an investor that recently called looking for a phone number and contact information for a green investor index fund listed on our site. I looked it up in my data- base and went online with him on the phone and we went through the entire website but could not find a phone number to call. The contact info was an online form to fill out and submit.
Frustrated, the investor commented,” I guess they don’t want my money”.

He thanked me and went on with his research and hopefully found a fund or stock that met his needs in the green sector that was accessible and would take his call and answer his questions.

In the brokerage industry, one of the top rules for a stock broker is “know your client”. I think for investors, one of the top rules has to become, “know your company”. How many times have we all done research on a stock and tried to find the investor relations contact and it was an online form to fill out - not a person? Or you get a phone number and call and it’s an answering machine and you leave a message and you never have your call returned. Or the only time you hear a CEO speak is on a conference call that you can listen only, and after the call you contact the company by phone or email with a question you wanted to ask and they never get back to you?

Part of the problem is the irony that CEO’s are afraid to talk to investors and the public due to SEC regulations, which were supposedly instated to help protect investors. What it has done in a lot of cases is separate and isolates the management, the heart of the company, from the investors.

Investing in a company is also investing and betting on the people and the management. If you are never allowed to have the opportunity to talk to management – then maybe as an investor you should ask yourself if you are really ready to invest. You can have all the information on paper you want, all the fundamental investing research complete – but you still have no sense of who you are betting on. The recent Bernard Madoff scandal tells us that people make all the difference in the world.

I know from my own experience that I have made my biggest wins and my biggest mistakes by listening or not listening to my instincts on the people in the deal. When I have a gut feeling about management and go against it and I loose- who is to blame? I think as investors we have to take some of the responsibility for our success and failures. There are some great players out there that fool us all, but in most cases there was an inner voice that waved a red flag.

But how can you listen to your inner voice if you never talk to the company and you base all of your investment decision based on facts and figures and stock charts? I think all of these tools are invaluable, in particular stock charts, which can help indicate the right timing to get in once you have done your research. One of my favorite sites is Stockcharts.com, but there still has to be some personal connection to investing.

I think it is fair and reasonable for an investor who is serious about investing in a company to be able to request a few moments time of key management on the phone. It can be scheduled at management’s convenience and limit the call to a few key questions. Or as an alternative, you can ask the investor relations contact if the management is presenting at any investor conferences in person or online, or if there is audio or video file they can send to you, so that you can at least see and/or hear them speak. Passion, conviction and integrity (or lack of) can be heard and seen in most cases.

A great example of this is told in “Pour Your Heart Into It”: How Starbucks (SBUX) Built a Company One Cup at a Time, by Howard Schultz. One of his investors in the beginning (before going public), a doctor, believed in his passion and did not even read the business plan before investing $100,000. His instincts on the person paid off substantially for him. It’s a great book to read and will inspire both entrepreneurs to follow their heart, as well remind investors to use their instincts as well as knowledge.

I think if you choose an industry sector you are passionate about, find a company with a service or technology you feel makes sense and you would use, research the company using all the regulatory filings, annual report, stock charts and analyst reports and then get to know the company and read your gut instinct on it – at least at the end of you can live with the outcome better. It’s easier to accept a win or a loss that was true to yourself and your beliefs. There is always risk in investing, sometimes great companies and great people fail, but you can sleep better if you know you were not deceived by them or you went against you own instincts.

Canadian Investors Urged to Contact MP or Governor Generals office today

This is not about your personal choice in parties -

No matter how anyone voted last election - this is not good for any Canadian to have this kind of instability at this time in history. Investors are already facing daily market volatility. It will only escalate if this is not resolved swiftly. Contact your MP by phone fax or email today to voice concern over the pending coalition take -over. The market and the economy are too fragile to face this kind of uncertainty and scrutiny from a global audience. The Canadian dollar is already under pressure with falling oil prices.

Canadians elected a Conservative Government and have the right to maintain its Government for the term .The Opposition does not have the right to create this kind of instability due to their own political agendas and egos.

The audio tape of Mr Layton makes it clear that this has been planned for quite a while and has nothing to do with defending the rights of Canadian voters or the economy - it is about ego and power.

If Canadians are ever going to stand up for their rights - this is the time to do it . If we are passive, then the outcome we face is our own, as well as their doing.

Link to contact the Governor Generals office http://www.gg.ca/contactus/index_e.asp

Also sign up at http://www.rallyforcanada.ca/

Note to investors- I am not political .These are the first political postings on my site and Blogs since I have been in business- but I feel this is a critical issue to all of us economically.

Renewable Energy Stocks Sector Close-Up on Solar Stocks; Solar Stocks Get a Two Day Run with General Markets


POINT ROBERTS, WA —November 26, 2008 -- www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com,
a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close-up on solar stocks following a two day run for some of the leaders. Solar stocks traded up with the general markets but investors are cautiously optimistic following the recent speech from President-elect Obama, discussing job creation in the sector.

Renewable Energy Stocks solar expert, J. Peter Lynch commented in his most recent column, that this market may represent a generational buying opportunity, “I agree that solar P/E’s and expectations were FAR too optimistic and missed a number of rather obvious problems that were rapidly approaching (i.e. coming silicon over supply), however, at this time I believe that current expectations have moved equally to the opposite extreme with FAR too much pessimism.”

You know its bad out there when you do a Google search for " the market shit the bed again " and you find recent multiple postings using that exact phrase - but what else can you say these days ? That pretty well sums it up!

I took a look at all the sector indices - all down -and all the global international market indices - all down

Maybe capitulation is when we all agree the market has shit the bed and we just can't take it any more !

I have to believe there are greener pastures out their and I do . I think that in spite the recent drop in oil prices we will still move ahead with green technologies if we want to fight and live another day! We need to think past today and tomorrow and towards the next generation. Green technology, healthcare will create opportunities for innovation leaders.

So trade for today- invest for tomorrow ....

SNAP INTERACTIVE NEARLY TRIPLES QUARTERLY NET INCOME, GROWS QUARTERLY REVENUE 63%


NEW YORK, NY - November 17, 2008 - SNAP Interactive, Inc. ("SNAP" or the "Company") (OTC BB: STVI), a leading provider of online dating applications for social networking websites, today announced record operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

Financial Highlights, as Compared to Last Quarter (the Quarter ended June 30, 2008)
- Revenue: $871,324, as compared to $533,257 - a 63% increase
- Net Income: $410,283, as compared to $144,862 - a 183% increase
- Earnings per Share (EPS): $0.04, as compared to $0.01
(A comprehensive description of results follows below.)
"To put it simply, SNAP is already profitable and we have grown our revenue for 5 consecutive quarters - despite an early focus on growth ahead of monetization. We nearly tripled quarterly net income in the third quarter by virtue of increasing traffic to our existing applications and the advertising programs built within," stated SNAP President and CEO Clifford Lerner. "We also began offering paid premium features through our applications and look forward to expanding that revenue driver in the future. We have long believed that developing a critical mass user base was Priority #1 for a dating application; having now accomplished that with more than 16 Million total users we can turn our attention to new and inventive revenue driving strategies, evolving not only our own business model but the entire Social Network Application industry landscape. We are particularly excited about the expansion potential of the mobile device opportunity.
"We are very proud of the significant milestones we have achieved to date, and we believe that the next twelve months will offer new and excit ing opportunities, both for SNAP and the greater space we are helping to define."

CEO of Algae-to-Oil Technology Company, OriginOil, Inc. (OTCBB: OOIL) Reminds Investors of the Bright Future for Advanced Biofuels



POINT ROBERTS, WA --November 14, 2008 www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com, a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, announces new featured showcase company OriginOil, Inc: (OTCBB: OOIL), an algae-to-oil technology company.

The company’s technology is an advanced algae growth system that can grow multiple layers of algae biomass around-the-clock with daily harvests. According to the company, growing and harvesting algae on a high volume production basis is the key breakthrough that will allow algae to compete with petroleum.

The US Department of Energy, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy reports, “Algal biofuels are generating considerable interest around the world. They may represent a sustainable pathway for helping to meet the U.S. biofuel production targets set by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.” http://www1.eere.energy.gov/biomass/pdfs/algalbiofuels.pdf

Petroleum is a depleting resource. Future sources of oil, the cost of producing it and the price consumers will have to pay for it are extremely uncertain. According to a recent report from the International Energy Agency, “there are growing fears the simultaneous plunge in oil prices and a pullback in spending on exploration and production will result in another massive energy price spike.”

One week earlier, Riggs Eckelberry, President & CEO of OriginOil, Inc. had made the same case. In his presentation to California lawmakers, he noted, “Energy demand is embedded and oil demand will return. If oil investment is neglected now, there will be new scarcity, driving prices much higher.”

“Climate change and CO2 emissions are also driving trends for renewable energy. These factors, as well as future oil shortages, have created excitement in the algae sector, in spite of the recent decline in oil prices”, Mr. Eckelberry went on to state.

“Current trends in energy supply and consumption are patently unsustainable – environmentally, economically and socially – they can and must be altered”, said Nobuo Tanaka, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency. “Rising imports of oil and gas into OECD regions and developing Asia, together with the growing concentration of production in a small number of countries, would increase our susceptibility to supply disruptions and sharp price hikes. At the same time, greenhouse-gas emissions would be driven up inexorably, putting the world on track for an eventual global temperature increase of up to 6°C.”

About OriginOil, Inc: (OTCBB: OOIL)
OriginOil, Inc. is developing a breakthrough technology that will transform algae, the most promising source of renewable oil, into a true competitor to petroleum. Much of the world's oil and gas is made up of ancient algae deposits. Today, our technology will produce "new oil" from algae, through a cost-effective, high-speed manufacturing process. This endless supply of new oil can be used for many products such as diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, plastics and solvents without the global warming effects of petroleum. Other oil producing feedstock such as corn and sugarcane often destroy vital farmlands and rainforests, disrupt global food supplies and create new environmental problems. Our unique technology, based on algae, is targeted at fundamentally changing our source of oil without disrupting the environment or food supplies. www.originoil.com.

Homelanddefensestocks.com Investor Podcast with Scott Sacknoff, Manager of the Benchmark SPADE® Defense Index

Commentary on defense sector performance during the market’s decline


POINT ROBERTS, Wash., DELTA, B.C. – November 6, 2008 – www.HomelandDefenseStocks.com, the leading global investor and industry portal for the Homeland Defense and security sector, presents an investor podcast with Scott Sacknoff, Manager of the SPADE® Defense Index (AMEX: DXS). Mr. Sacknoff comments on the sector performance during the market’s decline.

Mr. Sacknoff reports, "Although the fundamentals of the sector remain strong, highlighted by many of the firms reporting quarterly revenues and earnings consistent with forecasts and flush with cash on hand, defense, homeland security, and aerospace stocks have declined as the market retreated. For the year, the sector remains several percent below the performance of the S&P500 and has dropped by nearly half since its highs in October 2007. However, considering how undervalued the sector is at the moment, it wouldn't surprise me, now that the Boeing strike is over, that the sector sees a bounce upwards."

Can the Stock Market predict the next President?

3rd Party Interview with Renewable and Solar Energy Perspectives Contributor , J. Peter Lynch

November 3 ,2008

Q: Mr. Lynch. I read an article in a magazine that mentioned that the action of the stock market was a potential predictor of Presidential Elections. Considering that the election is a few days away, do you have any insight into this? Bryan W. New York
A: Bryan I am familiar with this and over the years I have read a number of books and articles talking about this very topic. As a result of your question, I did a little research and found a very interesting article in which the author back tested this thesis (from 1900 to 2004) and found that it predicted with an 89% degree of accuracy who will win the next Presidential election.
It appears that there is a strong correlation (89%) between the stock market’s performance in the two months immediately preceding the election and who will win the Presidency.
Basically if the Dow Jones Industrial Average LOSES ground in the two months prior to the election the incumbent party will lose the election.
If the Down Jones Industrial Average GAINS ground in the two months prior to the election the incumbent party will win the election.
What does this mean in terms of numbers and levels for the current Presidential Election?
If the Down Jones closes ABOVE 11,188.23 at the close on November 4th – McCain will be the next President.
If the Down Jones closes BELOW 11,188.23 at the close on November 4th – Obama will be the next President.
The Dow Jones closed at 9325.01 on Friday 10-31-2008
As a result, given that the Dow Jones would have to add 1,863.22 points, or 19.98%% over the next TWO (2) trading days it appears that the next President of the United States will be Senator Barrack Obama with an 89% degree of certainty based upon this historical correlation.
If this correlation holds true it is certainly a very positive development for the solar industry.
