Not a good time to be on the sidelines.

Let's hope Monday is the day.
Piggy Banks Flying Off Store Shelves
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Recession-wary Americans embraced the virtues of thrift this Christmas, with stores reporting a clear rise in the popularity of piggy banks.
"We have been selling coin banks really well," said Laura Kellner at Kikkerland Design Inc. in New York City, whose stylish chrome pig is priced at $31.
U.S. savings levels have increased markedly in recent months as households adjust to a yearlong recession and the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
The downturn has shattered house prices and the value of retirement accounts which, in turn, has reinforced the necessity to systematically put funds aside for the future.
Retailers said this translated neatly into a gift that captured the spirit of the times.
"We definitely noticed a trend with the piggy banks," said Erin Mara at Homebody, a design store in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, DC.
"People were very upfront about the need to save...the pig is very symbolic of that sentiment," she said.
Personal saving as a proportion of U.S. disposable income rose to 2.8 percent in November compared with zero back in April, but remain well below the 10 percent range it occupied back in the early 1980s.
In fact, the shift from consumption to saving will be a crucial factor in determining the pace of the country's economic recovery, which many economists see gradually taking shape in the second half of next year.
If shock over the housing and stock market's losses sends the savings rate all the way back to the 11.2 percent notched in 1982, after the United States had endured two painful back-to-back recessions, it will prolong the current downturn.
That would also illustrate what the influential British economist John Maynard Keynes called the 'paradox of thrift'.
This described how the personal virtue of saving for the future becomes a collective ill if everyone does it at the same time, causing domestic demand to collapse and hurting everyone's savings because this slows the entire economy.
Judging by the sale of personal safes this season, people are not taking any chances.
Amazon.com said that it had seen a major jump in demand for private safes, which may also reflect an erosion of confidence in the country's banks after the financial crisis led to several high-profile failures. It said sales of one popular brand of private safes advanced to 260th place in Amazon.com's ranking, up from a previous slot at number 2,755.

ZLNK CLOSED UP 100% TODAY. >>>>> This is an excellent reverse merger play that will run much higher in my opinion.
Check out RAINMAKER'S research on the ZLNK board.
GLTY.
For the GOLD-diggers:
I would like to announce what I believe has the potential to become one of our biggest Gold and Silver winners of 2009... Silver Falcon Mining (SFMI). This is without a doubt one of the most unique and amazing Gold and Silver opportunities I have ever come across in my life! I was originally planning to announce SFMI as my first huge pick of 2009, but with Gold and Silver prices skyrocketing I decided to rush out with it before the new year!
SFMI is a $0.065 stock that is getting ready to begin Gold and Silver production in the weeks ahead!
SFMI has acquired the rights to develop and operate the mines of GoldCorp Holdings, Co. on War Eagle Mountain, located on the Owyhee Gold Trend of the Silver City Mining District in southern Idaho.
The War Eagle properties of GoldCorp have produced $270 million in Gold and Silver to date and are located adjacent to the open-pit mines of Kinross Gold (KGC), an $11 billion company on the NYSE.
SFMI is getting ready to open their mill near War Eagle Mountain in Melba, ID, which is expected to be able to process 100 tons of ore per day!
What's so amazing about SFMI is... there are a total of 202,000 tons of waste reserves just sitting on War Eagle Mountain... that could potentially be brought to SFMI's mill by truck to be processed. These tailings were just left there by previous operators of the mine because 100 years ago, Gold was only worth $20 per oz.
http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/080716/0416457.html
Today, with $880 per oz Gold, these tailings that were left behind could be extremely profitable for SFMI to process at their mill.
In fact, assay results from this past June found that in samplings from the War Eagle Pile, they were able to find 6.9 grams of Gold and 50.9 grams of Silver per ton. With 28.34952 grams in an ounce, we are talking a potential 0.243 oz of Gold and 1.795 oz of Silver per ton.
http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/080707/0413311.html
Since the sample analyzed was from a random selection of the surface of the tailings pile, the average value in the waste reserves could be higher than the tested samples.
However, if we go by SFMI's assay results and the company processes 100 tons per day... we are talking a potential 8,869.5 oz of Gold and 65,517.5 oz of Silver per year! 8,869.5 oz of Gold x $880 per oz = $7.8 million and 65,517.5 oz of Silver x $11 = $0.7 million.
SFMI estimates their total cost of processing the ore including transportation to be only $30 to $40 per ton. If you do the math, if they process 100 tons per day and we take the mid-range of their estimated costs of $35 per ton... it could potentially cost SFMI only around $1.3 million per year to produce $8.5 million worth of Gold and Silver! Of course, this is based on current Gold and Silver prices, who knows how high Gold and Silver could go in 2009!
SFMI has already transported enough ore to the mill to last until mid-2009. They plan to resume ore transport operations this spring to provide additional mill-feed for twelve months of continuous production!
http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/081204/0457787.html
With the cash-flow generated from these tailings that were left behind, SFMI intends to begin underground mining operations on the mountain.
A total of 165,000 tons of ore have already been produced on War Eagle Mountain from previous operators with an average yield of 2.52 oz of Gold per ton. There is estimated to be a total of 19.35 million tons of mineralized ore left in the mountain which could potentially provide a mining life of 15-20 years.
SFMI has estimated that with only $650 per oz Gold, annual yield at full mining capacity on the mountain could reach $215 million.
I just checked with SFMI's investor relations representative Rich Kaiser and was told that the fully diluted shares outstanding is 68.5 million. Based on this number, SFMI's market cap at $0.065 is approximately $4.5 million.
I will have a lot more information on SFMI tonight including pictures of War Eagle Mountain, SFMI's mill, and SFMI transporting ore from the mountain to the mill!
Please do your own research and make your own investment decisions. Don't make investment decisions based on anything I say. I am not an analyst and I am not making any financial projections.
-----
My firm Lebed Biz LLC has been compensated by SFMI 900,000 restricted shares for a three-month investor relations contract. We expect SFMI to include these shares in their S-1 registration statement. We have received additional compensation from an affiliated third-party (Monmouth Consulting) of $10,000 cash.

Zoolink-ZLNK Shell just changed hands. Taken over by a lawyer David Price who acts as facilitator on several reverse mergers. He doesn't usually shell sit so it looks like a deal could be close at hand. Lots of upside from these sub-penny levels. Last shares O/S under 50 million. Saw two other deals this guy did, one was at .55 the other at .07.....so from under a penny ZLNK could have some nice room to run. Pink sheets already updated and Nevada SOS. All this just happened within last week.
ZLNK up 80%...this is just a beginning of HUGE UPSIDE.
A lot of traders/investors are still on vacation, holiday, cruises, visiting relatives, etc. Higher volume and awareness will hit next week, not only for ZLNK but in general all stocks.....January 2009 may be a good month for many small-cap stocks.
I'm A Believer...
An atheist was taking a walk through the woods.
"What majestic trees!
What powerful rivers!
What beautiful animals!" he said to himself.
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him.
He turned to look. He saw a 7 foot grizzly charge towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing in on him He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.
At that instant the atheist cried out: "Oh my God!..."
Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky: "You deny my existence for all of these years, teach others I don't exist, and even credit creation to a cosmic accident.
Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"
The atheist looked directly into the light, "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps could you make the BEAR a Christian?"
"Very well," said the voice.
The light went out.
The sounds of the forest resumed.
And then the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together and bowed his head and spoke:
"Lord, bless this food, which I am about to receive..."
Boardmarks increasing; Nice I-BOX updates> good info for the upcoming upside runs.
ZLNK is a great $$$$$ opportunity.
ZLNK now up 31%...HOD.
Volume in high gear now > $$$$$.
Maybe an oil company!

Woes on Wall Street coincide with gold coin rush
US Mint labors to meet demand as investors buy up assets they can hold in their hands
Sandy Shore, AP Business Writer

DENVER (AP) -- Investors who have forsaken shaky financial markets for the safety of gold must feel a little bit like prospectors.
In this March 13, 2008 file photo, an employee at the Minuteman Coin & Jewelry shop displays two recent American eagle gold coins in Boston. As the worst recession in at least a generation spreads, so too does the clamor for gold bars and coins, assets less likely to go up on smoke like so many derivatives and asset-backed securities.

As the worst recession in at least a generation spreads, so too does the clamor for gold bars and coins, assets less likely to go up on smoke like so many derivatives and asset-backed securities.
"I've never seen a case where demand was so high and supply was so short," said Chicago coin dealer Harlan Berk, who has been in the business 44 years.
Spikes in demand for gold coins this year appear to run parallel with the mounting woes on Wall Street.
In August, as the Federal Reserve pumped $62 billion into the U.S. banking system and rejected requests for mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to take on more debt, sales of the popular American Eagle coin were suspended for a week.
The U.S. Mint was unable to get enough gold blanks from suppliers to match demand, Mint spokesman Michael White said.
In late September, when a massive bailout for the nation's biggest banks failed, sales of the American Buffalo coin were suspended until Nov. 3 because of shortages.
Yet even before the full extent of the financial crisis was known, investors had begun to load up on gold and other assets that could be held in the hand.
By early spring, investors were snapping up precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum, said Beth Deisher, editor of Coin World trade magazine.
Gold for April delivery shot up to a record of $1,033.90 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange March 17. According to a report by the National Bureau of Economic Research released this month, that was just three months into the U.S. recession.
That correlation continued throughout the year as Wall Street institutions fell.
"People sensed there was something going on that they didn't quite understand," Deisher said.
In the third quarter, when the U.S. bailed out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the Fed gathered the chiefs of major banks on Wall Street to plot a rescue, and Lehman Brothers descended into bankruptcy protection, gold sales went into high gear, said Natalie Dempster, head of the World Gold Council's North American investment unit.
U.S. demand for gold coins and small bars jumped 600 percent and international demand rose 121 percent, according to the council.
"The fact that gold is nobody else's liability was really an extremely important trait for investors in Q3 that were growing increasingly mistrustful of financial institutions in general," Dempster said.
To get gold as stocks began to fall, investors were willing to pay.
"You saw people paying premiums to get coins and small bars," Dempster said. "The refiners, et cetera, just wouldn't have been set up to produce that amount of gold, the same way as any other product."
Compounding the shortage somewhat, Deisher said, was a decision years ago to offshore some of the tasks that go into making U.S. gold coins.
Under the law, gold used in U.S. coins must be mined domestically. However, the government contracts with private companies to fabricate blank coins for striking with images such as the American Eagle. One of those companies is Gold Corp., owned by the government of Western Australia and operator of the Perth Mint.
Demand for gold coins continued to grow as economic news from Wall Street and Washington grew more ominous.
In early October, the Dow Jones industrial average closed below 10,000 points for the first time since 2004. At the same time, coin dealers saw demand a hit a peak, and bullion coins were fetching huge premiums, said Larry Shepherd, executive director of the American Numismatic Association.
"That's created a shortage not only in the secondary market, where shops are competing with each other to find enough supply to meet the demand but it's also created a real shortage in the primary market where the Mint itself is having difficulty getting enough supply to meet demand," he said.
At his coin shop in downtown Chicago, Berk advises customers to plan ahead when arranging purchases, as much as two to three months.
It's frustrating, but "you learn to live with it," he said.

That is a good piece of information.
Maybe this company will be a contractor in the bridge - highway construction or underground utilities-infrastructure work. These companies depend mainly on the release of government money from Federal Transportation, and Energy Depts, and other agencys, as well as state D.O.T.'s.
Public Works, and strategic highway funding projects should multiply under Obama's presidency.
Money also will trickle down to heavy equipment sales and rentals.
I wonder if Obama and the dems are for building nuclear power plants?
