Submitted from Small Cap Stocks
Now, a friend calls me and says that I should make an investment in a company because they have a technology that will make the world a better place. No, they don’t make guns that can only be used in self defense, they make a technology that can eliminate the greenhouse […]

Are Short Sellers Selling Your Stock
Submitted from Small Cap Stocks
Read the message boards any day and half the time when a stock price is down, it’s the short sellers fault. I felt a long time ago and I feel today that shorts are smarter than longs. I know it’s a controversial statement but wrong on the short side is financial […]
Cars are not fists, racing isn’t boxing
Submitted from Auto Racing Blog
I was reading the comments of Mr. Tim Tuttle and I have to say I agree. NASCAR must protect drivers and pit crews from other drivers that think their cars are an extension of their fists. The consequence of not doing so are too severe to imagine.
In my opinion, there is […]

I Stay Away from Roll-up Strategies
Submitted from Small Cap Stocks
I received a call from an executive of a company who is trying to raise money for a roll up strategy. He explained to me that he could role up companies in the trucking industry and build to $100,000 million in revenues.
I replied that roll up strategies don’t work and […]
Knobias ClipReport (6-28-2007)
Submitted from Knobias ClipReport
Summer trading has begun as has the summer media menu. With elections still some time away and no one missing or on trial at the moment, the slow season has taken hold of both arenas. Trading has become extremely thin with traders piling into the latest low float, hot name. News headlines […]
RC racing is on the track
Submitted from Auto Racing Blog
I just ran into something that reminded me of a scene in the first Ocean’s Eleven movie. You may recall it, the scene where the Malloy twins from Utah are introduced. One brother is in a Monster truck, the other using a radio controlled truck, and they race down the track. […]
Websites used against Presidential candidates
Submitted from Presidential Race Blog
Thus begins the spam and negative email blasts for the Presidential race of 2008. For far too long there has been an emphasis on negative television ads and smear campaigns in politics. For elections of every level, politicians have de-evolved to telling the public what is wrong with this candidate or […]
NASCAR penalties get fans going
Submitted from Auto Racing Blog
Well the comments are running the gambit now. As would be expected there are many responses to the penalties that have been placed on Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, and their teams. Some find the penalties too harsh, some think it was not enough. Others are waiting to see what will […]

Lifebloggers are Society’s Next Big Nemesis
I was reading an article on lifeblogging. If you don’t know what it’s about, you will hear about it very shortly.
Someone can record themselves on video cooking breakfast, going to the bathroom, or hurting an animal and you can subscribe to it. Well apparently, there’s a thirst for this type of thing because some lifebloggers […]

Home Depot and Illegal Immigrants on Fox News
Submitted from All American
Mr. Michael Vass is author of Vass, and Black Entertainment USA
Today on Neil Cavuto’s show (on Fox News from 4-5pm) Mr. Cavuto had on a guest, a professor whose name I did not catch, to discuss a proposed law. I need help on verifying what this law states, but it seems that […]
Why Google Bought FeedBurner
In a few years, we’ll look up the word genius in the dictionary and it will be spelled ‘GOOGLE’. Considering the smarts of Google founder’s Brin and Page (their moms didn’t raise stupid children), they’ll probably convince us to spell it GOOG so we buy more of their stock. One has to dig deeper into the […]
Play video games, get paid
Submitted from Video Game blog
Play video games, make money, and prove to your mother that all that time in front of you Playstation/Xbox/Nitendo/computer or whatever was worth it. An ideal that many a videogamer has envisioned all their lives. Who hasn’t thought that being a game tester would be one of the best jobs in […]
NASCAR and politics

Over the years Canada has given the United States hockey, Labor Day, and Michael J. Fox, among other things. The relationship has been very strong with our northern neighbor. Now there may be a new import, straight out of NASCAR.
On the Canadian NASCAR circuit a new sponsor has joined Whitlock Motor […]

With all the negative media that hits the airwaves it’s great to hear something positive from time to time. Pay attention because you may not notice this being covered by the cable news networks.

Ultimate Presidential candidate guides are not ultimate
Submitted from Presidential Race Blog
I always find it interesting when a poll is presented on various blogs, that claim to be “ultimate” or “comprehensive” guides to the Presidential candidates of both parties. Inevitably these ‘unbiased’ polls/lists are seriously one-sided. They skew their comments to obviously favor whatever side they are on. Sometimes its subtle, but […]
What Presidential candidates won’t say on national healthcare
Submitted from Presidential Race Blog
Excerpt from Vass
At my M V Consulting website, many people have had the chance to review letters that I have sent to several of the Presidential candidates. Since December 2006 several of the leading candidates of both parties have received letters ….
