Nationwide Foreclosure Rates Increase at Slower Pace

Despite a 27 percent increase in August's foreclosures over the same period in 2007, the rate at which they are being filed has slowed significantly versus year-over-year data for June and July. Both months showed increases of at least fifty percent, making August's numbers seem small by comparison. However, in August alone, more than 90,000 properties were repossessed as a result of defaulted loans. By the end of the year, total foreclosures are expected to come close to the three million mark.

Dry Growing Season Adversely Affects Corn, Soybean Harvests

On Friday the 12th, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reduced harvest estimates for this season's corn and soybean crops in a report that threatens to boost commodity prices.

On the lighter side, despite trailing last year's crop, this season's corn harvest is expected to reach 12.1 billion bushels; the second largest ever recorded. Soybeans should yield around 2.93 bushels; down from prior estimates, yet still the fourth largest crop on record. Let us hear your…

Superlattice Power, Inc (SLAT.OB) Closes Gap on Electric Car

Superlattice Power, Inc., (SLAT.OB), is closing in on the single biggest issue keeping the electric car off the road: the cost and efficiency of electrical power storage, otherwise known as batteries. Like Thomas Edison, relentlessly searching and testing until he’d produced a workable electric light bulb, Superlattice is intently focused on developing a lithium ion battery that will not only allow an all-electric vehicle to go up to 200 miles on a single charge, but be so affordable that it will induce drivers to forever switch from gasoline-powered vehicles to all-electric vehicles.

Time to Look at Silver

It has not been an easy time for investors in commodity and commodity-related securities this past month. Nearly all commodities have plunged in the last 30 days, some to new 52-week lows. Why has this happened? There is one main reason - the perceptions at many Wall Street firms and hedge funds have changed. They believe that all the government bailouts of financial firms will work. From seeing the US economy as being very weak and the rest of the global economy as being fairly strong, it has all now reversed. Now the hedge funds see the U.S. being the…
