FWIW Interesting read..... Weekly Thoughts: We Are Entering a New Era! It's over! Not just the end of second millennium! Not the Bull Market, although 1-in-3 of the venerable Dow companies and 1-in-2 of the venerable NASDAQ companies are about to experience extreme pain. But technology as we know it. And a whole way of profiting from technology has vanished with it. If you thought the last 50 years yielded some mighty big technological breakthroughs, you ain't seen nothing yet! We'd like to tell you why the world you thought you knew just ended, and why the next 18 months will be the most exciting and rewarding of your investing career. "Shift," as computer nerds like to say, "happens." And this shift, our friend, is a real breakthrough. The shift now underway in technology not only has huge implications for our lives but also means a whole way of investing in technology has gone. We've been part of the technology revolution for the past 10 years, but never have we seen opportunity for the private investor on the scale we see it today. This is our urgent message to you: Get in now or get left behind. We're experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime convergence of 10 exciting investment areas: 1. The World Wide Web is now ubiquitous. High school students routinely have their own web sites and many are planning their IPOs! We'll tell you the #1 way to profit from the continued build out of the web. 2. The fiber-optic revolution has just begun-the amount of data each strand of fiber carries has increased 2,000 times over the past five years, and we're less than 10% into this revolution. 3. Something wireless this way comes. New wireless technology that will allow your computer, Palm Pilot, cell phone and all manner of gadgets to communicate with each other is now fully developed and ready to roll this year. 4. A business-to-business bonanza. The current $45 billion in B2B sales will balloon 25 times in the next 18 months. 5. Voice command software will free the computer from the keyboard and transform the Internet and all manners of consumer devices. 6. New business model, a unique hybrid of e-commerce and traditional business model. 7. Business Communication: the way people do business will be changed for good, because of all technology breakthroughs. 8. New Internet technology that allows the use of Internet more speedy, easier, and simpler. 9. New drugs and bio-tech that cure diseases. 10. Information Technology, this is all about how we will do things efficiently. messages.clubs.yahoo.com
