Supposing someone told you of an industry about to explode wherein you could invest a few hundred or a few thousand dollars in a speculative venture and end up a millionaire?

Suppose yet again that this industry will make every computer on earth obsolete?

I am going to tell you...but I want to tease a little first, call it foreplay, if you wish, since the is, after all, Literotica...

There are hundreds of ways to invest in the stock of a company before or after it 'goes public', gets on the stock exchanges, and gets traded and speculated upon.

The are many on this forum with the expertise to do just that, maybe they would share the procedure....maybe not.

One I give even a clue, there are a handful here that will know just where I am going...but possibly not the complete course or journey.

No, it's not nano-technology, but good guess.

Not really a secret either as I am sure the news is out in many venues in addition to the one I viewed.

NatGeo, Naked Science, Super Diamonds.

Say wat?

Yup, and not the fifty year old technique of creating industrial diamonds either.

A little research says it is five to ten years distance...I think not.

Diamonds are naturally created deep in the mantle of the earth under extreme pressure and great heat, then transported to the surface by a mineral called Kimberlite in volcanic tubes of lava that erupt.

Industrial diamonds are created in a laboratory under simular conditions of high heat and pressure.

Carbonato, is/are diamonds created in outer space under low or no pressure and they appear black to the eye, with voids between the diamond crystals.

Research labs, private and public University types, in South Africa and elsewhere, went to work and through an amazing process described during this program have found a method to create diamonds in any shape or size desired.

Just one of the applications is said to be 'diamond wafers', see silicone wafers, just the right thickness to make computer chips that are five times faster than silicone and, the big thing, diamonds easily conduct heat away which is a limitation to silicone and why your laptop gets warm in your little lap.

The military is very interested, of course, as the prediction is that this discovery will revolutionize the entire electronic industry as the diamond wafers make the silicone obsolete.

Now if you can find yourself just the right little 'start-up' company, wherein a private investor is funding research and development and find a way to invest, through the purchase of stocks in that little unknown company, you are on track, in a few years time, to be a member of the trading community and see just how far you can push your original, 'penny stock', and play with the big boys on Wall street.

Then you get to play the real game of accumulating wealth, assuming you can keep your relatives fingers out of the pie, and assuming you have a smart tax attorney that will enable you to keep at least part of what your investment earns, then, you my friend, can be a Capitalist too and have all the Progressive's calling you dirty names, like greedy and avaricious and capitalist pig.

You will also be besieged by humanitarian charities who will attempt to instill guilt in your acquisitions and they will sincerely tell you that they can spend your money much better than you anyway for certain 'needy' projects they have in mind.

It really was an interesting program, originally aired 02/26/09, but I saw it for the first time just this evening, so even I am late by a few days.

sighs...

Just imagine, ever Ipod, every television set, every radio, radio telescope, satellite electronics, everything using computer chips, obsolete; somebody's gonna make a killing....why not you?

Because the Usual Suspects are like dogs...whatever's going on right this minute, they believe it will last forever. The future doesnt exist for them. I mean, once the Usual Suspect loots an 8 track tape player and some Donny & Marie, Cowsills, Captain & Tennille cartridges, they think theyre set forever. Then the next thing they know, some capitalist asshole invents cassettes and fucking disco. Capitalists make looting into fucking work, man!
 
I've got another hot tip for you. An anti-migraine, anti-epileptic drug called Topamax made by Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals has been showing the side effect of causing amazing weight loss in patients. It's a powerful appetite suppressant with no side effects, and OMJ is now gathering information and conducting tests to apply for an off-label use license to use Topamax as a weight-loss medication.

If they get it, their stock is going to go through the roof.
 
If this is so, the government will never let them sell it, because it will seriously fuck with too much money made from lard asses. It could kill the whole fat-ass industry over night.

This is the whole point of ATLAS SHRUGGED.
 
Egads, JBJ, I haven't heard the 'Cowsills' mentioned since my beard came in black. Not that I agree with your perception, it was and is the point heads that got in early for the eventual dot.com bubble, made their bucks and bailed.

Don't under estimate the anti industrial intellectuals, they do have their cake and eat it too, by investing in that nasty capitalistics system, reaping the rewards and then badmouthing it every chance they get, huge guilt factor playing slightly discordant melodies as they invest in Marijuana farms to soothe their conscience.

Still, expected at least a few to have seen the program I mentioned or have some knowledge of the coming 'diamond revolution' in electronics...dunno...guess I pegged it wrong...

You know, I prayed about it today. Got on my knees and asked God to help me fathom the Usual Suspects. And God replied, "Mister Jim, its like this...a bee can sense and use ultra-violet light, and a snake can sense and use infra-red light, but the Usual Suspects got no sense at all and they cant make sense of anything, either."

Like my avatar? Its the Usual Suspects standing on Old Glory, forcing Uncle Sam to walk the plank. Its just full of metaphors.
