The plan involves the use of hundreds of billions of tax dollars to purchase defaulted mortgages, and other problematic sources of debt. While the trio acknowledged the strain that the bailout would put on U.S. taxpayers, it was pointed out that the ramifications of inaction would be far worse. As a result of the announcement, Wall Street was flying high on Friday; with the Dow up as much as 450 points…

The world of new-product technology development is a slow one that often needs a little bit of luck and patience to get over that last little hurdle. There are many ways to help make that luck, but none are more important than patience and diligence. The important aspect to consider is not moving too quickly with a product that is close but not quite there. In many instances, companies focus on the version #1 introduction followed closely by a version #2, #3, and #4 to iron out the bugs in version #1.

Stock Market Soars on Government Solutions

The stock market had its best day in six years on Thursday and has followed through with another huge rally on Friday. Market participants are relieved that the US government is now attempting to enact an overall solution to the credit problems, instead of just putting out fires (Fannie, Freddie, AIG, etc.). The main ingredient to the US government solution will be a "bad bank" which will take much of the toxic bad debts off the books of the major US financial institutions. Final details have yet to be worked out for this "bad bank". However, it is thought that…

Lightwave Logic Inc. (LWLG.OB) Develops a New Way to Think About Light and Plastic; Silicon Chips May be a Thing of the Past

Seeing a technological change coming has always been the most profitable aspect of investing. Invest before the change happens and a ground floor to immense profits awaits. Some say that longer- charge batteries are the next wave of technological change. Others see opportunities for paradigm shift elsewhere.
