Tesla - Master Plan, Part Deux

Tesla Motors

The first master plan that I wrote 10 years ago is now in the final stages of completion. It wasn't all that complicated and basically consisted of:

1. Create a low volume car, which would necessarily be expensive
2. Use that money to develop a medium volume car at a lower price
3. Use that money to create an affordable, high volume car
   And...
4. Provide solar power. No kidding, this has literally been on our website for 10 years.

Insight into Network Marketing

Once upon a time a man was found daily crossing the Nigerian border to Cotonou carrying a big bag of sand on his bicycle as he rode along. The first day he passed by the customs officials, they stopped him and declared “Wetin you carry”. The man responded that he was carrying sand. Not satisfied, they searched the sand thoroughly looking for hidden treasures, to their amazement, there was none. Since sand wasn’t a contraband item, they let him go.

Concern Intensifies over Banks’ Upstream Oil Sector Exposure

vandalized Forcados crude oil export line.

Some banking sector analysts have expressed concern over banks’ exposure to the upstream oil and gas sector.

It was gathered that of the top five banks’ $4,882 million exposure to the upstream oil and gas sector, at least 15 per cent is exposed to the Trans Forcados pipeline (TFP).

The pipeline has been closed for four months due to attacks by the Niger Delta Avengers. The TFP links a number of oil fields and oil mining leases (OML) in the western Niger Delta with the Forcados terminal on the coast. Many of these OMLs were once owned by Shell Nigeria but were sold to indigenous Nigerian upstream companies, in many cases financed by Nigerian banks.

8 Habits That Are Bad for Your Heart

1. Banking on Your Workout

Do you exercise? That’s great. But if you sit down for most of the rest of your day, that’s a problem. You need to be active all day long. Little bursts count. If you have a desk job, take a short walk every hour to boost your circulation, even if it’s just to your break room and back. Binge-watching your favorite show? Get up and dance, or do push-ups during the commercials.

Do Ab Exercises Help You Burn Belly Fat?

Defined abdominal muscles or “abs” have become a symbol of fitness and health.

For this reason, the internet is full of information about how you can achieve a six pack.

Many of these recommendations use exercises and devices that target ab muscles.

These methods supposedly stimulate your abs to burn belly fat.

However, they’re nothing more than gimmicks. They almost never work.

This article explains everything you need to know about ab exercises and belly fat.

Sovereign Debt – What Could Go Wrong?

It has been reported that about $10 Trillion of sovereign debt “yields” negative interest. Assume total global sovereign debt is about $60 Trillion.

Therefore, about one-sixth of all sovereign debt has negative interest rates. This brings to mind a few questions.

1. Do negative interest rates sound absurd, even insane?
2. Would bankers and central bankers in 2012 have believed that interest rates could be pushed so low they actually went negative?
3. Does anyone see a problem with negative interest rates?

Let’s review.

• Central bankers assure us they want price inflation and want to avoid deflation. They create the desired price inflation by “printing” currencies to inflate the total currency in circulation and thereby devalue their currencies.
• Governments support this process as they can finance profligate spending at minimal or negative interest rates.

Oil slides on the Back of Brexit, loses $1.08

• NSE indices dip further by N278b

The exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union (EU) is already taking its toll on the global oil economy, even as more and more young Britons insist on reversing the outcome of last Thursday’s referendum.

How Brexit will affect U.S.-UK relations

There is a revolutionary strain in the American DNA – Great Britain knows all about that – so on the other side of the Atlantic, there is an understanding of the statement the British people made with the Brexit vote.

At the same time, as the most powerful country in the world, the United States values the status quo and the leadership Great Britain has exercised within the European Union and beyond.

Pound Edges up after Hitting 31-year low

The pound rose in Asia Tuesday after hitting a new 31-year low in New York on worries about the effects of Britain’s exit from the European Union, but analysts warned it could face fresh selling as the crisis develops.

The True Nature Of Gold Is Liberty

“Look at that screen,” exclaimed Fox Business Network's Stuart Varney, referring to the television graphic showing markets crashing across the globe.“The only thing going up is the price of gold!”   

“It's always a dangerous thing when you leave democracy up to the people,” joked Varney's guest – venture capitalist and author Peter Kiernan, as they watched Britain vote Thursday night to escape the European Union.

The dust is still settling after Britain's seismic Brexit vote June 23^rd.  At issue: who should control British economic and immigration policies – Brits themselves, or unelected bankers and their bureaucracy stooges?  A choice between the liberty of self-determination, or the tyranny of faraway cronyism.

Vitamins and Minerals From A to Z

Vitamin A

There are two main types of it. One comes from animal sources of food. You need it to help you see at night, make red blood cells, and fight off infections. The other is in plant foods and can help prevent an eye problem called age-related macular degeneration and to cells all over your body. Eat orange veggies and fruits (like sweet potato and cantaloupe), spinach and other greens, dairy products, and seafood such as shrimp and salmon. Too much vitamin A can hurt your liver, though.

What is Cellulite?

What is Cellulite?

Its name makes it sound like a medical condition. But cellulite is nothing more than normal fat beneath the skin. The fat appears bumpy because it pushes against connective tissue, causing the skin above it to pucker.

Cellulite isn't harmful. Many people, though, would like to get rid of it because of the way it looks.

What Causes Cellulite?

Having cellulite doesn't mean you are overweight. Even thin people can have it. If you are overweight, however, losing weight may reduce cellulite.

Cellulite is more common among women than men. If other women in your family have cellulite, there's a good chance you will too.

Pound sinks but stocks bounce after Brexit vote

First, let me ask you this… if you had two different products - a natural product and a chemical-based product - and both of the products are very similar in the way they feel and their outcomes - which one would you choose?

Digital Reality and the Future of Business in Nigeria

In recent years, Nigeria has earned a reputation as one of the fastest-growing media markets in Africa. Over the past few decades, the nation’s large population – currently estimated at around 170 million, according to the World Bank – and rapidly expanding middle class have driven demand for new newspapers, magazines, radio and television programmes, music, film, and more recently, digital media of all sorts. The music industry and the Nigerian film industry have become significant cultural institutions in their own right, earning fans throughout Africa and further afield. Nigeria is the single largest media market in sub-Saharan Africa, and a handful of Nigerian media outfits have a pan-African reach. While the digital economy is still in its early days, its future is promising and the brands and individuals that integrate digital into the core of their work will reap the huge benefits when the space fully matures.

Gold Bullion Surges 6% In USD As BREXIT Creates Global Contagion Risk

Gold Note

– There has been record online sales on the GoldCore website for this time of day and the phones are ringing off the hook. We have had more sales than during the Lehman crisis and at the height of the Eurozone debt crisis. It is nearly all buying with a preference for gold over silver. We may have to restrict trading to existing clients if we continue to see this level of demand.

– We are seeing more selling than expected and seeing some clients choosing to take profits after the very sizeable short term capital gains. As a percentage of overall trading though, sellers are vastly outnumbered by buyers.

– Bullion inventories had already been increased to record levels and we are confident that the UK leaving the EU will lead to a sustained increase in coin and bar buying in the coming months.

12 Clues You Might Have Heart Disease

12 Clues You Might Have Heart Disease

Sleep Apnea

When your snoring is broken up by pauses in your breathing, your brain may not be getting enough oxygen. It will send signals to your blood vessels and heart to work harder to keep blood flow going. This raises your risk for high blood pressure, abnormal heart rhythms, strokes, and heart failure. Fortunately, sleep apnea is treatable

Yellow-Orange Bumpy Rash

Extremely high triglyceride levels can make your skin break out around the knuckles of your fingers and toes and on your bottom. A lot of these fats in your blood may play a role in hardening your arteries, and high numbers are often related to other conditions that put you at risk for heart disease and strokes, too.

Why Gold…Why Now?

During my most recent webcast a couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of being joined by the CEO of the World Gold Council (WGC), Aram Shishmanian. As expected of someone of his stature, Aram brought another level of insight and expertise to our discussion of gold’s Love Trade and Fear Trade.

You might wonder what the WGC does exactly. In Aram’s words, it focuses on “innovation and integration to create the gold market” around the world. Among other important endeavors, the group “lobbies governments to make their countries appropriately pro-gold” and is the only agency in the world to “train central bankers in the use of gold.” 

Below, I’ve selected a few key moments from the webcast to share with you. You can hear the full replay and follow along with the slide deck at usfunds.com.
