Why This “Mouse” Is About to Roar!
by Jack Crooks 11-30-08
Most investors are understandably fixating on the spectacle of the U.S. debt crisis and Washington's $7.8 trillion in loans, investments, commitments and guarantees designed to end it.
So when a significant deadline passed two weeks ago in a remote corner of the global economy, virtually no one noticed. It's a small event with big implications ... that provides a valuable clue to the shoe that's most likely to drop next in this crisis ... and that also presents you with one of your best opportunities for profits.
The news that gets lost in the cacophony of reports about the U.S. economy is this: Two major crises now hammering emerging nations:
First, sinking exports. Over the last few years, the historic economic growth in emerging markets like Ukraine, South Korea, the Czech Republic, Poland, and others was driven almost entirely by demand for their exports from the U.S. and Europe.
Now, with the U.S. and Eurozone economies sliding, that demand has started to evaporate. And because these countries have little domestic demand to drive their economies, they've suddenly been thrown into a struggle for their very survival.
Second, plunging oil. As the economic crisis has slashed oil prices by nearly two-thirds, oil-producing emerging nations — Russia, Venezuela, Ecudor and others — are suddenly starving for cash to pay their bills.
Combined, these two events are now conspiring to set off a chain reaction that will bring the biggest creditors to these emerging markets — such as Europe and the UK — to their knees. When the history books are written, two key dates will be cited as moments when critical warnings were clearly telegraphed, duly recorded and promptly ignored until it was too late:
Key Date #1: Thursday, November 13. Seventeen days ago, the government of Ecuador failed to pay interest on bonds it had sold to investors. Citing plunging oil revenues, the government postponed its interest payments for a full month.
Key Date #2: Monday, December 15. Fifteen days from today, Ecuador must make those interest payments plus interest for the month of November. If it fails — if Ecuador defaults on its government bonds — it's could be first the domino in a chain reaction of government debt defaults that will sweep the globe.
Tiny Ecuador: The Canary in the Coal Mine
Is Ecuador a big player? Of course not. But it's merely the first one.
As you read this, governments throughout Asia and Europe are facing similar circumstances: Foreign demand for the products they produce is virtually non-existent ... their own citizens are unable to buy the products their factories produce ... and even oil producing nations are starving for cash as energy prices crater.
Russia is now begging China for a $25 billion loan to save its cash-strapped energy companies. Its foreign currency reserves have plunged $122.7 billion — a full 21% — in just 3 ½ months. Foreign investors are stampeding for the exits.
A few days ago, leaders from 21 nations, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and three other international organizations attended an emergency, two-day summit to address the catastrophe among emerging nations. Japan pledged $100 billion for emergency loans to the governments of South Korea, India, Indonesia and other economies and urged other potential donor nations to do the same.
Similar stories can be told about dozens of emerging economies throughout Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America: They're drowning in debt they built up during the good times ... and now, with their exports vanishing before their very eyes, their economies are cratering.
Why should we care that these emergency economies are on the verge of collapse?
Because ...
European Banks Loaned These Countries
A Staggering $3.5 Trillion. When They Go
Down, So Will Europe's Largest Banks!
Fortunately for us, U.S. banks loaned only $500 billion to these emerging markets and Japanese banks loaned them only $200 billion. But European banks loaned them a whopping $3.5 trillion — five times more than the U.S. and Japan combined.
Amazingly, European banks loaned these countries amounts so large they're the equivalent of a whopping 21% of their Eurozone's total GDP, according to Bank for International Settlements. And when you look at individual countries, the numbers are even larger:
In Sweden, banks loaned an amount equal to 25% of that country's GDP ...
Swiss banks loaned the equivalent of 50% — fully HALF — of Switzerland's total GDP ...
And Austrian banks loaned an amount equal to 85% that nation's GDP — with 80% going to the countries in Eastern Europe that are now suffering the greatest economic pain of all!
Now, these emerging markets are being squeezed mercilessly. Investors are fleeing. Credit is as rare as hens' teeth. Exports are slumping and income is vanishing.
Now, as these once-emerging countries sink into depression, those loans are beginning to go sour. European banks are ALREADY getting hammered for huge loan losses — and investors who own their shares are ALREADY getting slammed. My forecast: You're going to see ...
Huge loan defaults in emerging markets like Ecuador, Hungary, Ukraine, and Argentina ...
Massive losses and even outright failures among Europe's largest banks ...
Panic selling on stock exchanges throughout the Eurozone ...
A massive flight to safety — OUT of euros ...
HPSO should be a radar this week. Only 2 million shares in the float.

November saw the biggest monthly percentage gain in Gold futures in over
nine years but this is just the beginning! Gold Mania is coming in 2009
and I believe Gold stocks will explode like you've never seen before!
>From May of 2000 to June of 2003 with the dot-com bubble bursting,
Greenspan lowered interest rates from 6.5% to 1% in an attempt to prop it
up. While he was unsuccessful at reinflating the dot-com bubble, he did
create the Real Estate bubble which prevented the severe recession we
should've had back then.
>From June of 2006 to today with the Real Estate bubble bursting, Bernanke
lowered interest rates from 5.25% down to 1% again. With the next FED
meeting, now a two-day meeting, taking place on December 15-16... it is
likely we will see Bernanke lower rates to 1/2% or maybe even 0%!
Didn't they learn they can't reinflate a bubble? This is pure insanity!
With Americans afraid to buy stocks after the dot-com bubble and now
afraid to buy Real Estate... they are all hoarding Dollars. With Bernanke
and Paulson committing to print trillions of Dollars like crazy to fund
the U.S. Government's bailouts... everybody with Dollars is about to see a
steep decline in their purchasing power.
Lebed.biz members saw this coming for years now... but the average
American hasn't figured it out yet. The average American thinks these
bailouts are a good thing and that Citigroup and AIG are "too big to
fail".
There is soon going to be a run on the Dollar. With everybody rushing to
dump their Dollars while trillions more are being printed... I believe the
masses will purchase the only asset that will always retain its purchasing
power... Gold.

A Growing Enthusiasm for IPTV in Canada
Research and Markets announces the addition of Frost & Sullivan’s new report Canadian IPTV Services Market to their offering.
The Frost & Sullivan research service titled IPTV-Personalizing Television: Canadian IPTV Services Market provides insights into the market for IPTV services and set-top boxes as part of the residential broadband and CPE markets. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following markets: broadband, consumer services, IPTV, and residential CPE.
Key Topics:
* IPTV Services Market
* Market Forecast and Competitive Analysis
Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) Helping Telcos Supplement Revenues
With customers rapidly migrating to VoIP - based telephony and wireless, incumbent telecom providers are fast losing access lines, customers, and their associated revenues to VoIP-based telephony and wireless. In this scenario, IPTV is enabling telcos to leverage their digital subscriber line access networks and customer base with additional video services to supplement voice and data offerings in order to stem losses and retain customers. While initially offering a service similar to that of cable and satellite, the real value is in the enhanced services such as caller ID to the TV and chat, available with an IP network offering.
A number of drivers are contributing to growing enthusiasm for IPTV in Canada. Similar to residential VoIP, broadband adoption and increases in available bandwidth are the first steps toward IPTV. There are over 3.8 million DSL customers in Canada, who can be targeted for IPTV, and the average weekly television viewing hours per capita is 25.1 hours. These foundational elements, combined with advanced set-top boxes, back-office readiness, content protection, and home networking, propel IPTV on its way to mass adoption over the next several years. "Consumers are adopting high-definition television, PVR/DVRs, and on-demand programming, and as the "iPod generation" expands, people are becoming accustomed to greater choice and the ability to search the Internet for content for viewing on the TV, personal computer, or other devices," notes the analyst of this research service. "This desire for customization, along with value pricing and competition among providers, is expected to spur the market for IPTV-based services."
"Television" may be the Killer Application
Although in the age of personalization, it is difficult to declare a "killer application;" the killer application for IPTV may be "television." While enhanced services such as gaming or ethnic programming build loyalty without a strong foundation of a better viewing experience, they may not gain wide-scale market acceptance. Hence, there is a strong need for sufficiently improving TV offerings. This apart, the two key components of a positive IPTV encounter are quality of service and quality of experience. Quality of service is related to service-level agreements concerning packet loss, jitter, and quality of the technical connection and delivery. QoE, on the other hand, refers to what the subscribers see on their screens and how they interact with the features and electronic program guide. QoE also includes channel-change interval, scrolling speed, and search time, and the number of clicks involved to arrive at the needed information is also an important quality metric.
Despite all this, one must remember that operating an IPTV system is not a small undertaking. Service providers need sufficient knowledge about content acquisition, digital rights management, subscriber management, service management, and middleware. "In order to offer IPTV-based services, telcos must upgrade their networks, apply for local TV franchise licenses, and then attract customers who already are likely to have cable-TV or DBS services," says the analyst. "Hence, the challenges associated with IPTV deployment can be characterized as technical, marketing, or operational issues."

The float is less than 2 million shares
I will look into it. I am not in. I just thought it was an interesting email.
We could be ready for a spike here
Nope. What happened?
Just got this in my email
Remember, DROOY is trading less then one times sales and is currently trading under book value! Also, DROOY's enterprise value is only $60 Million!!! This is absurd! In order to find out a company's enterprise value you take the current market cap which in this case is $125 mm and you add in the company's debt which is about $15 mm and then you subtract the company's cash which is $80 mm and you get the company's enterprise value which is only $60 mm!
DROOY has $80 mm in cash and generates about $175 mm in revenue and only has an enterprise value of $60 mm!
Furthermore, DROOY has been around since 1895! In fact, back in 1981, the last time we had an inflationary crisis like this one DROOY made a run from $15 to $500!
Wellington West Capital Markets analysts suggest that investors “revisit investing in the junior and intermediate gold producers.”

RENO, NV -
Based on the assumption that current strong physical gold demand highlights an existing supply deficit, Toronto's Wellington West Capital Markets forecasts that, "if the increased structural deficit in gold supply continues, gold prices should adjust higher."
Wellington metals analysts also advised, "Given the potential change in market fundamentals, we believe it is time investors revisit investing in the junior and intermediate gold producers."
The analysts said their data indicates that a Central Bank Gold Agreement (CBGA) signatory "has become a gold buyer, putting further pressure on the existing supply deficit in the bullion market." In their analysis, Wellington suggests that China is building a strategic gold reserve.

"In times of crisis, people grasp for tangible investments, things like gold and silver, and other essential commodities that the global economy simply can’t do without.
In the last commodities bull market, gold went up a staggering 23-fold. That was through the inflationary ‘70s – one of the worst periods for U.S. stocks in economic history. In times of uncertainty, investors rush to gold. And in the oil-credit-confidence and commodity-shocked-times ahead, gold will shoot to the stars.
This won’t be like the gold bull market in the ‘70s. It will be much bigger. For we now have a lot of new players on the global stage. And as energy shocks, commodity crunches and derivatives disasters continue to rock global markets, these new players will get very hungry for the immortal metal. The 2.3 billion Chinese and Indians have already begun to show their voracious appetite for the metal. But this is only the beginning. When gold lust spreads from the contrarians to mainstream investors to the general public, then you’ll truly see that there is no rush like a great global gold rush.
What’s more, there hasn’t been a big gold discovery for many years. And despite soaring global demand, the World Gold Council expects gold production to stay flat or even decline over the next few years. The infrastructure is already woefully inadequate to meet current demand. But once demand really heats up, a massive supply gap will open up, causing the price of gold to skyrocket.
The argument for gold today is so compelling, there really is few greater investments for the volatile times ahead. The best ways to invest in this precious metal. It’s called: Dirt Diggers: 7 Great Ways to Profit from $2500 Gold and $75 Silver!"

Good for Gold
They're rioting in Iceland. The Associated Press reports thousands of Icelanders demonstrated on Saturday demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Geir Haarde and central bank governor David Oddsson. Iceland's banks, which invested around the world, collapsed last month, wiping out depositors. The government, which promised to insure the deposits, doesn't have anything close to enough money. The currency has fallen about two-thirds against the dollar and the euro. And the people finally realized what's happened to them.
What's the difference between America and Iceland? Our government can still borrow. But... you have to wonder how our creditors feel watching the Federal Reserve gin up $800 billion to buy mortgages yesterday. And you have to wonder how they feel seeing Uncle Sam add $7 trillion to its balance sheet in one year. Sooner or later, our creditors will blink. When that happens... welcome to Iceland.
The trend seems higher here. Nice bounce off the lows.
I am an optimist.
