World's first 3D camcorder

It costs $21,000 so maybe you might want to wait. However, it is real. The world's first three dimensional camera. It shoots video on to a regular SD card. Folks, this is the future. I am so glad it is coming to a store near you.

Apple predictions


Back in 2001 I predicted that the Apple Ipod would be a success. Also, that Apple would release the Iphone in 2007, and that they would increase market share in desktop computers. Debunkers pointed out that the ipod was not compatible with Windows WMA format. They said ipod would be a flop. When ipod sales to off they claimed it was temporary, that sony would come out with a new walkman that would crush the ipod. Well, I'm waiting.

The debunkers told me that nobody buys imac except a few old hippies and that "real people" buy a pc... Hmm, I was told that apple would never come out with a phone - the exact words "Apple is a computer company stoopid, if they came out with a phone Motorola would crush them and make apple sauce."

In 2007 when the iphone came out as I predicted the debunkers said it would flop because it was too expensive. They also said that Steve Jobs was dying of cancer so no one would purchase the iphone - remember that one? We see a pattern that debunkers are usually wrong.

Well, Motorola profits are RAZR thin now. My other prediction of apple stock closing over $200/share on Dec 31, 2009 also came true.

Debunkers said that my predictions were a contradiction because I predicted a stock market crash and apple stock going up. Both happened. Well, now in a typical debunker flipflop they claim they always knew apple was going to be a success.

Nokia tries to ban iphone


Nokia is asking US courts to ban iphone, ipods, and even imacs. They claim patent infringement. I can tell you that it is interesting how our society steal the work of inventors. They are truly our unsung heroes. Sadly, many big corporations plunder patents to make profits.

Obsolete Technology


There are many OT (Obsolete Technologies) that are dying. Well, at the top of my list are video stores. Hey, techno laggards, you should join us. I mean video stores are as ol skool as a VCR player. People use the internet to download movies. The idea of standing in line to rent a new bluray is so max gone. Nobody has time for that anymore.

iran issues an ultimatum

People things are getting mighty hot right now. That is because the people's islamic republic of iran issues an ulimatum to the west on nuclear energy. Basically, what iran is saying is - its my way or the high way. Well, we can all hope for a peace full resolution to this energy problem, but it does not look that way.

Rewarding Bankrupt Banksters

Who needs 'em? Well, they claimed in 2008 that things were great, and there was no economic recession. Later that year it was give us money. Last year it was we are in a recovery. This year with double digit inflation we learn US bailed out bankrupt banksters to the tune of trillions even.

People our money is gone. It went to bail out crooks and we will not see it again.

GOP recovery

GOP is getting ready for a big come back in 2010 mid term elections. They point to 5% unemployment in 2007 versus 10% now. This is bad news for our prez. He could face a senate and house controlled by reps. This means many of his pet projects would never occur.

Thursday, December 31, 2009

Down day for the dow

It was a down day today. Dow lost near 150 points on the last day of the year. This is a sad note on which to end a year that saw the Dow go under 7,000 for a bit and then some. Hope we see better next year.

Asteroid Apophis


Unfortunately we in america are full of debunkers who giggle, so russians are gearing up to stop an asteroid collision with planet earth that would cause a crisis. It will cost russia billions to build the rockets to stop Asteroid Apophis in 2036. Debunkers prefer to make fun of others and not spend any money. It is real easy to just sit on your hands and say - nothing is gonna happen, you're crazy.

Anti Theft Gadgets

With an economic depression comes high crime. Well, here are some anti theft gadgets to keep you valuables um SAFE. These are low cost and easy to use. OK my favorite is the Tesla coil alarm for your car.

Tuesday, December 29, 2009

End of Broadcast TV?


John Titor said that in 2036 there was no broadcast TV. He said all TV was over internet. Well, that future is near. It seems many broadcasters are now saying they can no longer offer TV for free due to our economic recession. Broadcaster woes could spell the end of broadcast TV as many will now distribute over net and charge money...

Monday, December 28, 2009

Oil near $80/b


Price of petroleum affects all other prices. Back when oil was under $50/b this year 2009 I predicted it would go over 60 soon, then over 70. and finally over 80 this year. A dumber than dog dirt debunker said that peak oil was a hoax and it would go down under 20 soon. Well, I went on to predict oil would go over 100 next year. When oil did go over 80 he said it was a sign of a recovery, but that it would start to go back down soon. Yeah when? Well, I told him "Last year oil hit 147/barrel is that sign of a recovery?" You should have seen that fools face, there was a big idiotic grin.

Less credit for consumers


Sadly, many banks are cutting credit as things get worse. It seems consumers are becoming savers. This means sales going forward will be lower than now. The economy need more sales in order to recover.

Saturday, December 26, 2009

Health care


The lump of coal in our stocking is health care. How will we pay for it or any of the hundreds of other programs? Well, taxes go up. That should not be a mystery to you. This is a most peculiar concept of freedom which is not free, but could be affordable if our gov did not constantly keep added new programs.

Friday, December 25, 2009

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac


Unlimited assistance to fannie mae and freddie mac is US promise. Hey it is your money. I mean, that is from where all those tax dollars are coming. Sadly, so far we have given the two banks $111 billion and plan to give more.

Thursday, December 24, 2009

Jobless claims near 1/2 million

I wish we were creating jobs instead of losing jobs. However jobless claims are now 452,000. Sadly, our gov does nothing to help us. They left a lump of coal in our stocking called health care.

Youtube improves

They say Youtube is top innovation of this decade. Youtube originally use to be 320X200 videos and took forever to load on old 56K modem connections. Streaming 1080 HD movies seemed like a fantasy. Back in 1999 I predicted that by 2009 most people would have broadband and do video over the internet. Also that terabyte drives would become common.

A debunker laughed and said T1 connection is $1000/month, and a good video camera is $20,000 so nobody is going to do video over the internet in 2009. Well, here we are, a max power quad core desktop is under $500, video editing software is free over the internet, cameras that shoot 1080 HD movies are less than $99, my high speed broadband connection is $10/month.

Youtube is a success, an epic win.

facial recognition technology

HP needs to improve its facial recognition technology. It seems the algorithm works well for white people, but it cannot work as well with dark faces. Perhaps not enough photons reach the camera.

Monday, December 21, 2009

Medical care


Health care in the future reminds me of the movie Soylent green. In that movie old people were turned into biscuits and feed to the young. This is very scary. Well, then again Israeli doctors were harvesting organs and blood of palestinian prisoners. These HELLth care doctors are like modern vampires. It is like they came from the movie new moon.

Sunday, December 20, 2009

What Future?


Back in the 60's we went to the moon. People were talking about going to mars. However, few did calculate the high cost of planetary travel. In fact, we have not gone back to outer space missions.

Saturday, December 19, 2009

Google buying Yelp


Buzz says Google buy Yelp to help, namely in local search ads. Internet is crushing the printing press. This shows us the view from mountain view. Basically, it is the end for small community newspapers.

Friday, December 18, 2009

Al Frankenstein

Al Franken cut off Joe Lieberman. This could crash the whole health care. It is my opinion that Al Frankenstein is a clown that belongs on Saturday Night Live, not on the senate floor. The big bozo is causing trouble for us.

Thursday, December 17, 2009

Jobless claims jump

Unemployment claims increase. This comes as a shock to the fools that believe the recession is over. FED says continued weakness in our labor market is now restraining consumer spending. REALLY, wow, people who don't have jobs can't buy things - imagine. It is time for the giggling debunkers who believe in a recovery to wake up.

Wednesday, December 16, 2009

McDonald's offers free Wi-Fi


Folks, I'm Mclovin it! McDonald's offers free Wi-Fi internet connections. This means many small towns will now have a high speed internet available for the poor person. Actually away from the city farmers use sat internet, but it can cost over $100/mo.

Tuesday, December 15, 2009

dollar falls, oil rises


There are many reasons. OK some see rising tensions with iran. Others point to looming shortages of petroleum products as well as china using more gas for cars. I focus on how our gov did crank up the printing press.

Basically the more dollars we print the less they are worth as money. That is why we need to focus on getting ready for a rapid rise in oil prices next year. The future price of oil is going way up.

Monday, December 14, 2009

Obamaville

Obamaville sign goes up. "Welcome to Obamaville" says the sign. Basically a group of homeless people are trying to get attention from politicians that say everything is fine, and that there are plenty of jobs out there when we all know the economic crisis is not over. Perhaps some in gov will finally wake up.

Sunday, December 13, 2009

Economic Armageddon


Instead of an economic recovery, I see economic ruin. Senator joyce says US gov will default on its sovereign debt causing economic Armageddon soon. People, we are talking of nothing less than complete financial collapse of our society. The ramifications of economic Armageddon are many.

Saturday, December 12, 2009

133 banks so far gone

This year 133 banks are gone. 2009 is the worst year since 1992 when 182 banks went bankrupt in the savings and loans crisis. The debunkers claim that everything is fine, but what we see is that more and more - banks are gone. Please remember that I warn you. Back in 2005 when gold was $400/oz I told people to get gold and this year it went over $1200/oz as I predicted, but next year I predict it can go over $1500 an ounce.

Friday, December 11, 2009

newspapers in news

108-year-old Editor & Publisher america's oldest journal covering newspapers is going away. The journal started in 1901 that was before first airplane flew in 1903 and back then there were few telephones or cars.

What we are seeing is the internet destroy papers. It is crushing copy. Expect major changes soon.

Thursday, December 10, 2009

Dollar down


Dollar is down as jobless claims rise. Folks, this means trouble. Not only is this so called economy recovery jobless and creditless, but it is not even real as it is a vaporous mirage.

Wednesday, December 09, 2009

new career near


I would not bank on a finance career. Still, many students are going into banking. They feel our problems are only temporary. Folks, our economy is heading for high noon. These business students need to wake up soon. Well, so guess the harsh lessons of the great depression have not on them made a great impression.

Tuesday, December 08, 2009

Kroger posts huge loss


Kroger grocery stores had a loss of 875 million dollars, the stock is down 10%. Debunkers can claim all is fine, but also posting loses today were 3M and Monsanto. The one bright spot was McDonalds. They actually had profits increase. Well, guess those 99 cent McChickens sell well in an economic recession. Oh, that's right, we are in a recovery - silly me.

Monday, December 07, 2009

graveyard of empires

Afghanistan is a graveyard from many empires. Well, now we see an american empire. It is almost poetic justice that the old soviet union fell and we did not learn.

Sunday, December 06, 2009

iran war soon?

OK americans say iran is greatest threat to US now. This could be true. After all, iran is making a big threat with uranium. The question is how will we react? Hmmm, my guess is with an iran war.

Saturday, December 05, 2009

wireless electricity


Wireless electricity is here. Actually, it has been here for a long time. Tesla created the first wireless electricity with his Tesla Coil. However, we now have commercial developments in this field.

This is good, because we are running out of oil. Well, using Wireless Electricity we could have electrified highways instead of big bulky batteries. People we are going to see super high oil prices soon. According to our gov, there is no crisis. However, they are so wrong.

Friday, December 04, 2009

Slavery the new green energy

For thousands of years, humans had slaves as a source of power. Well, our modern slaves such as vacuum cleaner and washing machine are big consumers of fossil fuel energy. Perhaps in the future we go back to the primitive and make slavery the new green energy.

Thursday, December 03, 2009

Walmart to pay workers 40 million

The retail giant lost a law suit. Walmart must now pay workers 40 million due to altering employee time cards to reduce pay. This company is not on my favorite list. I hate to see all the MADE IN CHINA cheap junk it brings in. That said, perhaps now it will try to give its workers fair pay.

Funny accents


Yesterday I saw a lady from russia. She was blonde and had blue eyes, but she looked russian so I ask her - are you from russia? She said - yes...

I could tell from her funny accent she was not from here. However, even before she opens her mouth it was obvious she was a foreigner. This leads me to think that if people from computer controlled world of the future were to come here and visit us. I mean if they were to time travel here, they would be seen as outsiders. OK she wore the standard blue-jean and a T-shirt, but I could still tell she was from another place.

Also, people from the future would probably have a funny accent and odd mannerisms that would label them as strange. It would be interesting to see what they would do to blend in.

How would you interact with people from the fifties if you went back to 1959? Would you memorize 50's slang words?

Tuesday, December 01, 2009

economy up?

US stocks are up on economic news. That said, I feel that our economy will get worse. Good jobs in the future will become scarce. People, what we face is hyperinflation and prices going up meanwhile with unemployment rising.

Monday, November 30, 2009

FED drain

FED tries to drain some money out of our economy. This is a move to slow down inflation. Right now prices are increasing.

radiation detection







Here is a sample of uranium ore. It can be use with your
geiger counter to measure radiation paticle counts. The device is great for learning about radiation. Lead can shield us. However, much cheaper to use an underground shelter.

People can use equipment like a geiger counter with an HDR unit.

Texas sucession

CarlosX says he say he saw Texas sucession in the days to come. Although this may seems impossible now, it could take place soon. The trigger was higher taxes. John Titor spoke of USA splitting into five regions.

Saturday, November 28, 2009

FED emergency lending rises

I do not know if this is good or bad, but the FED window is open. FED emergency bank loans rises. This could perhaps help some banks that are in trouble to survive now.

Friday, November 27, 2009

End of road for truckers

For many truckers this is the end of the road. Sadly, new laws go into effect on jan 1. These laws are to control pollution. It is my guess big biz is behind this. It appear our severe economic crisis is not over yet. Well, what suspicions we arouse.

Parents abandon children due to recession

This year is so sad due to our economic recession. Well, we praise programs to help our poor.

Thursday, November 26, 2009

Black Friday

It will truly be a black friday for retail merchants as sales are way gone. People this economy is worse, yes worse than last year. What we are hearing is more store closings in coming year.

Wednesday, November 25, 2009

Michelle Obama image in race row

A racist image of Michelle Obama the prez wife on prison planet is causing a big row. It is basically a monkey with her face on the picture. I have seen Bush called a chimp and pictures of Bush as a monkey. However, the US is not a free country. OK so guess what, image is taken down. Freedom of press - I don't think so.

Tuesday, November 24, 2009

Real Estate is a mess

Right now one in four homes is under water. I remember when is was one in seven. People, things are not going to get better, because they are getting worse. Politicians are flat out giving you the business when one tale tale after another and they know what is coming.

Monday, November 23, 2009

Gold hits new record high

The HDRKID prediction of $1200/oz gold in 2009 will soon come true. Back in 2008 when gold was near 700 it did seem impossible, but now-.

Gold has hit a NEW RECORD HIGH 1170.
This is evidence that we are going into inflation.

Sunday, November 22, 2009

Glowing alien flea

OK on of my fave pictures is of a glowing alien flea. This picture looks so alien. It is really odd, and looks strange even.

Saturday, November 21, 2009

virus scare

There is a new drug resistant strain of swine flu H1N1 virus. People are now scare that this is bas and we worry.

Friday, November 20, 2009

Gold price

Gold price is a very important measure. It tells you which way things are heading in a poor economy. The problem is that dumber than dog dirt debunkers seems to always find fault in gold. Well, back when I told people in 2005 to sell real estate and buy bullion that claim that gold was too expensive. Remember that is was $400/oz back then. OK now we see a gold surge in price. Debunkers still say gold is too expensive. When will they wake up?

Thursday, November 19, 2009

What is China doing right?


It has emerge as a world power. The question is - What is China doing right? The answer is - moving on. China is building fast maglev trains. It is industrializing. Meanwhile US seems to worry about what to do. The answer is - grow.

I have said this before, US companies are always closing down plants, shutting down branches, stores are boarding up. In contrast China is building new highways, and creating a new energy. Don't tear down, build up.

Wednesday, November 18, 2009

HDRKID predictions

When my predictions come true it is easy for debunkers to claim that it was obvious. These are the same people who were making fun of me. Then when the prediction comes true they do a debunker flipflop. It is hard to see what is coming. However, there is little effort in making fun of people and later when the future forecast comes true claiming you knew all along. Well, here is a list of ten disaster prediction that did not come true. OK as you can imagine, 2012 is not the end of the world. In fact, there is not one big event but many. What the future will bring is a cascade of catastrophes and a deluge of disasters. Life goes on, but HDRKID predictions are going to continue to come in like clock work.

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

Home Depot profit falls

Today latest news is Home Depot profit falls. People, this is very max important. Well, you see, there is no real estate recovery. It is all smoke and mirrors.

GM loss 1.2 billion

Two cars smashed together in a car accident with rollover photo

There is a new GM that is a much smaller company. Hummer, pontiac, saturn, saab, oldsmobile, are gone. Whereas in 1980 it had 50% of world market, now the number is only 15% of the sales in cars. Despite 1.2 billion loss GM says it will start paying loans it owes. With what money?

Sunday, November 15, 2009

Obama in singapore

Today, prez is in singapore. Obama grew up in indonesia and hawaii. He is familiar with asia. The vast continent where most of humanity lives is no mystery. There is much to be in touch with as his rock star persona wows the crowds in asia.

Friday, November 13, 2009

Trade Deficit worsens

What we have it the worst trade deficit since 1999. This is terrible. Basically we produce little in in US and import a lot of our wares. Countries need to produce or they will wither away. The trade deficit was a lot bigger than most predicted due to a widening of the trade gap.

Thursday, November 12, 2009

↯Dollar is dropping


Gold rising on $1118, a new record as dollar drops. People who purchase precious metals will see a rapid rise in prices. However, inflation will soon afflict our nation. HDRKID is coming out with new movies.

Wednesday, November 11, 2009

you owe $200,000

Folks, our gov is in hock for approx 60 trillion and there are 300 million citizens. Therefore with simple mathematics we see you owe $200,000 and that could get you a nice mansion now. I mean houses that we once going for 1.5 million are now sold on auction block for $30,000. OK so much for recession is over.

Tuesday, November 10, 2009

Global Banking in Trouble


Times are tough. Today Lloyd's announces it will lay off 5,000. Last week Royal Bank of Scotland was letting go 4,000. Much like our US Banking system in UK both banks have receive massive bailouts. Still they are doing terrible. Lloyd's of London is one of world's biggest insurance companies. Few jobs are now being created as nations around the world shed workers in a severe economic recession. The labor unions complain bitterly that tax payer money is being wasted on banks being prop up.

Monday, November 09, 2009

Youtube is the future


It has been an interesting year, the last in this decade I fear. Well, one prediction I made in 1999 was that the internet would evolve from text, to pictures, to movies. What we are seeing is that sites are adding more video and becoming less "bookish" as we press on. YRO or Youtube Ranking Optimization is becoming more important as people compete to get views.

Sunday, November 08, 2009

US & China in a trade war?

Back in the Great Depression, our gov try to stop imports. OK is US and China in a trade war now? Well, not right now. However, as things heat up, we could be in one soon.

Saturday, November 07, 2009

These are not the droids you are looking for

Famous line from Star Wars movie. However driod phone landed on Google home page. Folks, we love droids around here - yes even the real phoney ones.

Friday, November 06, 2009

Fort Hood

Major Nidal Malik Hassan in a cowardly act fired on unarm members of his own army in Fort Hood, Texas. This doctor who is suppose to help the sick and wounded instead proves to be an evil muslim terrorist. Please remember the US muslim soldier who tried to grenade his commanders in iraq in 2003. This is not the first time a jihadist attacks from within our ranks.

Thursday, November 05, 2009

Population Collapse


Already in Japan we see a population collapse. This means few children are being born now. Actually, the percentage of seniors is rising. Sadly, in japan many schools are closing due to lack of children. This reminds me of colony collapse disorder in bees where no new bees are coming on. What I have seen in the future for our world is not a population explosion, but rather instead very few persons. I have seen empty cities, deserted highways, and ghost towns.

Wednesday, November 04, 2009

Dollar is dropping


Dollar is falling fast. This should not come as a surprise. I have predicted dollar demise for some time now. Sadly, Oil shot up over $80/b crimping the wallet of consumers. Gold today hit another record high. Those that told me to sell yellow metal and get green pieces of paper are now strangely silent. I plan to buy bullion next week. Hope a pullback will allow me to lock in more gold as the dollar continues its downward decline.

Tuesday, November 03, 2009

OUTsourcing our economy


What we see is that a computer programmer making $50,000 a year is now working at a mcjob part time making $10,000. The rich who did engineer our collapse took their money out of US banks and move it offshore. The move factories to Red China, and white collar work to India.

Well, now there is a decrease in demand for products. The US consumer is flat broke. Without good high paying jobs our gov is gone. People we cannot run deficit after deficit year after year. What we need is to stop companies that outsource to India. The way to do it is to place tariffs. This means more money for our gov, and more jobs for us.

Monday, November 02, 2009

TARP money fails CIT rescue

In what could be one of the worst bankruptcy stories in US History, more sad news. This is the fifth largest bankruptcy in history. Today CIT is filing chapter 11 bankruptcy as TARP in rescue. People AIG was seen as a lender of last resort to many small business. Sadly, without loans many will not be able to buy inventory for the holiday season. As small businesses close, jobs lost will increase more.

Sunday, November 01, 2009

AIG injuction

Lawyers in California block AIG from transfer money out of state because it may not have enough money. They believe AIG cannot cover existing policies. This is sad news when world's biggest insurance company is sue in court.

Saturday, October 31, 2009

Think zinc

A new lithium ion battery killer has stepped into the ring. The new zinc air can store three times the energy of a lithium ion. It is cheaper and better. Let's hear it for the electric cars. This new advance comes from swiss. Happy to report that the new battery can charge and discharge many hundreds of times. An unusual feature is that the new zinc air is similar to a fuel cell because it uses oxygen from our air for power. This reminds me of how John Titor said that fuel cells were our future power.

Friday, October 30, 2009

Banks have problems

OK as our commercial real estate market implodes banks have problems. Already in trouble due to the subprime mortgage meltdown the banks now see a new crisis.

Thursday, October 29, 2009

euro up 18%

The dollar decline is serious. The dollar is down 18% against the euro and with gold even more. Last year gold was $750/oz and now it is over $1000/oz. Folks this is like getting a 20% pay cut on top of higher taxes from uncle sam. Most of us had our hours cut, and cuts in our benefits and wages.

With the dollar worth less (worthless soon); I expect inflation to rise. Sadly, our gov is running that printing press. That means we have more and more worthless green pieces of paper. Did I say green? Well, the new orangeback ten looks fake - like monopoly money.

Wednesday, October 28, 2009

exploring the fringe


Little progress is made by a ship if it stays safe in port. Instead the ship must explore uncharted waters and brave storms to find new islands of adventure. Those that fear sea monsters and falling off the edge need not apply. They are the debunkers that ridicule anything new.

Steven Gibbs HDR unit is an electromagnet. Yet, it has properties I can best describe as most odd. Strange paranormal events happen with greater frequency when I turn on an HDR.

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

newspapers soon gone


It is not that people no longer read, or that wood pulp had a high price. Here is a

graph of newspaper circulation
. Actually, years ago, some say TV would kill the local newspaper. They said people would turn to television for their news. However, what got rid of newspapers was the internet. Well, one web site in particular - craigslist. Before the papers made money with classified ads, but now most people use craigs. With no money coming in, US newspapers soon gone.

Monday, October 26, 2009

Dollar is poor

The dollar devaluation continues as euro hits a new fresh 14 month high against our greenback. At some level many countries will start to dump the dollar. How long do we have before we go into free fall?

Patricia Ress has a new website

Author Patricia Ress has built a new web site. In it see has all her latest books. The website is PatriciaGriffinRess.com and it will soon have more content. This is great because the old Patricia Ress web site is down and I hope she put her phone number on this new one.

BK Windows 7 Whopper

Folks, that is seven, yes seven patties of meat on the Burger King Windows 7 Whopper. This promotional stunt is to create some buzz for Microsoft Windows 7 a big bloated operating system. Talk about a heart attack waiting to happen. If you eat the godzilla burger you will need operating as in a coronary bypass.

exec pay

OK new rules with result in even more exec pay. I find it hard to stomach paying some exec 200 million a year to sit in a big chair and say "gotta make cuts!". I agree, we have to make cuts and we can start by cutting exec who do nothing for the bottom line. People, in the days to come, every future exec will have to work for a living. The days of sitting in a big chair looking out the window are over.

Saturday, October 24, 2009

106 banks gone

Back in 2008, HDRKID predicted that in 2009 over 100 banks would go bankrupt. Also that the FDIC would run low on money. OK as of today 106 banks are gone. Future of finance is very grim. The situation is far more serious, than we are led to believe. I do not wish to incite a panic.

Friday, October 23, 2009

Microsoft profit down 18%

People we are in trouble, microsoft profit has fallen for the last three quarters. Microsoft profit is down 18% and still falling. Hey, go to best buy today. There are very few people buying win7. What others refuse to consider is that we are still sinking. I am being proven right.

Thursday, October 22, 2009

Latest news in HDR

HDRKID is getting ready to release a new video of a close up movie of an HDR in use. Author Patricia Ress is working on a new web site about her life and an HDR. This is all, but just the tip of the iceberg. Plan to keep you posted on the latest developments in what is taking place in our little corner.

Ebay stock fell on weak holiday forecast. The company so famous for turning trash into cash now sees its future turning into trash. People are angry about new rules and many want to leave the auction house for greener pastures. As ebay falls, amazon rises.

Home price forecast


The home price forecast is that certain areas will do worse than others. Take a look at areas with high taxes and unemployment like California. I predict foreclosures will increase, forcing the housing price in a downward direction. In contrast areas near DC see a lot of new gov jobs so house prices will go up.

gas prices are rising


Today we see that gasoline prices are rising. Sending a message that inflation is not in control. Last year I paid as much as $4.39/gallon for gasoline, then the economic recession cut demand so gas price fell to $1.39/gallon this year. Well, my prediction is that next year we could see gas price rise over $3.

Read the numbers and we weep. US has now biggest deficit since 1945. Back then we were fighting nazi germany. Well, now we are in two needless wars, and it appears we are near EPIC FAIL.

google doing great

Google smashes targets on strong sales figures. This is great news for google, but those sales come from some where - as in less spending on traditional media. People, many companies are moving away from newspapers. They like PPC ads where you can track who is buying your product. I predict in the future few newspapers survive.

Higg Boson

They say it is an elementary particle knows as Higgs Boson that gives matter its mass. OK science using LHC or Large Hadron Collider in geneva has not found the Higgs Boson. Perhaps the collider is jinx and Higgs cannot be found. OK some science says that a Higgs Boson would ripple thru time backwards and stop the LHC from even being turned on. Strange stuff to be sure.

Construction demand down


I do not see an economic recovery, but rather instead economic ruin. Today construction demand in fastenal is down 42% compare ro last year. People do not appreciate what is taking place - a massive increase in green pieces of paper. What we have is orangeback monopoly money. All that rhetoric from DC will not change reality. Expect inflation to take place and that you will see more price increases.

TV over net

Future will not have broadcast television, but instead distribution over our internet. Netflix says movies over web is the future. OK so forget, cinema, movies over a kiosk, or a video store. The net is my bet.

Future of TV is
to be like a youtube clone, think hulu. John Titor predicted internet taking over and he was right.

moon ice

I am the ice man, need an ice cave. Hey there is ice on our moon. Well, imagine that - a moon crash to find lunar water. Not sure if we will colonize in a near year. However, long term we travel in excursion to the lunar surface.

Banks in trouble

Freddie & Fannie need more money. They got nearly 100 billion last year, but the real estate decline continues. Debunkers that laughed at me when I predicted a mortgage meltdown, now claim it was so very predictable. People, it ain't over.

oil prices rise


There are those who say an economic recovery is the reason. Actually, oil is rising because we are running out. Also, a drop in dollar help push it higher. The problem is we hit peak oil in 2005, so petroleum prices are going up. Future price of oil is much higher than now.

Gold record close

This is a day we have been waiting for. The rise of aurum as in gold is now at hand. Today, gold had a record close. I predict that it will rise over $2000/oz soon. Put it out with a perdurable and I say this - you gotta GO FOR THE GOLD!

Time running out as US Dollar continues its fall


The season if fall. A lot more than leaves are falling, as in currency. The green pieces of paper continue to lose value. Fall of dollar is sharp as rumors abound of Saudi Arabia switching from dollars to euros. This could send gold soaring. It is already over $1000/oz, rising as we speak. Yellow metal is doing max plus. In fact, gold prices in future are much higher than now. I predict we will see $2000/oz on aurum soon.

Where are jobs?


Right now our recession is going nowhere but down and many are saying Obama's policies have failed. There are some signs of economic WREAKcovery, as in millions of jobs lost. The people who still are able to hold on to their position now see cuts in wages as well as hours.

This means they have less money to use in buying stuff. According to liberals we have too much stuff, well, the grocery store is full and the electronics store is near MT. Hey, so guess much of that stuff we are getting is food.

The problem is that we lost most of our industry and most of our product now come from Red China. With our industrial base gone, there are few jobs for the people and we are slowly becoming a 3rd world state. I see more scooters in the future as high gasoline prices will force people to economize.

junk heap of history


Far into the future many will wonder about strange mounds of junk. It will be a mystery, the giant piles of trash an enigma to ponder on. Few will imagine that our civilization was so waste full - producing so much garbage. This can be what we leave to future generations, and yet it need not be so.
