Download or read book The Wallstrip TM Edge written by Howard Lindzon and published by Business Plus. This book was released on 2009-02-18 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The creator of Wallstrip.com -- known for its unique blend of irreverent humor and sound stock advice -- provides a most enjoyable (and highly profitable) method of turning "everyday trend watching" into real dollars. It's been often observed that anyone who invests in the stock market needs to have a very strong sense of humor....indeed; no truer words were ever spoken. And the truth is, Howard Lindzon took that observation quite literally. Indeed, Howard's creation -- Wallstrip.com -- has become just that - a total melding of humor and investing, or as the New York Times observed about Wallstrip - "It's Squawk Box meets Saturday Night Live." Wallstrip.com pulls in between 5 and 7 million visitors a year, and the show's rabid following includes stock market enthusiasts, venture capitalists, traders, and others who tune in to hear, see, and talk about what's happening in the markets. If you haven't been to Wallstrip.com, well, you're in for a real treat. Lindzon's parodies are priceless. And in THE WALLSTRIP EDGE, Howard captures his most unusual (but very smart) approach to how he picks winners, and you can too. In THE WALLSTRIP EDGE, Howard Lindzon shows readers how to profit from his straightforward investment philosophy -- a unique trend watching philosophy that makes Wallstrip.com such an amazing phenomenon, including how to look at trends from a different perspective, knowing when to buy a certain stock, how to hold it, and of course when to sell. It's all done using the power of the Internet and your own instincts. It's a surprisingly simple (and fun) strategy that works, and best of all, you don't need to be a financial genius to make it work for you.

Download or read book The Clean Tech Revolution written by Ron Pernick and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When industry giants such as GE, Toyota, and Sharp and investment firms such as Goldman Sachs are making multibillion-dollar investments in clean technology, the message is clear. Developing clean technologies is no longer a social issue championed by environmentalists; it's a moneymaking enterprise moving solidly into the business mainstream. In fact, as the economy faces unprecedented challenges from high energy prices, resource shortages, and global environmental and security threats, clean tech—technologies designed to provide superior performance at a lower cost while creating significantly less waste than conventional offerings—promises to be the next engine of economic growth. In The Clean Tech Revolution, authors Ron Pernick and Clint Wilder identify the major forces that have pushed clean tech from back-to-the-earth utopian dream to its current revolution among the inner circles of corporate boardrooms, on Wall Street trading floors, and in government offices around the globe. By highlighting eight major clean-tech sectors—solar energy, wind power, biofuels and biomaterials, green buildings, personal transportation, the smart grid, mobile applications, and water filtration—they uncover how investors, entrepreneurs, and individuals can profit from this next wave of technological innovation. Pernick and Wilder shine the spotlight on the winners among technologies, companies, and regions that are likely to reap the greatest benefits from clean tech—and they show you why the time to act is now. Groundbreaking and authoritative, The Clean Tech Revolution is the must-read book to understand and profit from the clean technologies that are reshaping our fast-changing world.
