First Investment Outlook: Let me count the ways…

Predicting Prediction Markets to Succeed!
I was listening to an audio version of the economist, when I had to drop what I was doing when I heard them mention Prediction Markets. A quick google search pointed me to intrade.com. Very cool. People bid on contracts that expire at either 100 or 0. It’s a market for a betting pool as [...]
US vs Canada Real-Estate Numbers
After buying a condo in the center of Toronto, out of necessity, I got a little more curious about specifics in pricing and housing costs in different US cities.
I found the Trulia housing heat map helpful, which accompanied this list of average listing price of homes, for the entire STATE’s real estate listings:
Hawaii $935,452
Wyoming $859,654
New York $761,945
California $702,176

Selling Shovels to Miners
…sort-of.
It’s on WALLSTRIP today, the explanation of the problem at least.
GOOD NEWS The problem has been solved! BAD NEWS is, Julie’s right that Bandwidth is finite. But who prospers when demand outstrips supply, I mean, beyond the obvious? I mean who wins? I’ll tell you, the guys selling the technology to make it [...]

Wind et al. I’m a little ahead, but oh so behind
Americans got to solar & coal first.
Canadians invested in the oil sands & nuclear first.
Europeans invested in wind first.
BECAUSE…everybody sees the potential, in their own back-yards FIRST, then bids up PEs accordingly. By the time the other markets catch on, well, they become the dumb money.
I was scared buying into Vestas a little bit ago, [...]

Pick up knife, Throw at foot
The monopolistic Bell & Telus, up in Canada, are going to start charging customers for incoming text messages. Not going to fly, unless Rogers does it too.
