EWZ continues to surge …the ‘new era’ is here
Last week in my ‘Are you stupid?’ column I recommended that my readers consider purchasing some EWZ shares at $72. As of 2/1/07 EWZ has closed at nearly $78-a gain of nearly 8% percent in just a few days. In that same period the stock market has surged nearly four percent-in spite of the usual pessimism over so called ‘recession’ and the imaginary ‘credit crisis’ and ‘liquidity crisis’.
EWZ 2 month chart showing a sharp rebound at the $65 level:
Just today some economic numbers were released showing weakening payroll numbers but the markets ignored it, rallying one percent for the day. Why? Cause just like the loser housing numbers it wasn’t a big deal. There is NO problems whatsoever. No major slowdowns in the economy and no shortage of growth. We have massive consumer spending and massive overseas growth. We have a huge web 2.0 internet boom. We’re STILL in a new era of hyper capitalism and spendism. My predictions for 2008 WILL come to fruition.
The stock market will easily make historic highs later this year, and the web 2.0 boom will continue. All the overpaid moronic pundits on TV and the newspapers who were predicting doom and gloom and ‘increased volatility’ and ‘downside risk’ will be proven wrong as they have been since this bull market began in October of 2002. All the web 2.0 bubble heads who mislead people into believing the myth that web 2.0 is just a repeat of the 90’s dotcom bubble will be wrong- just as they were in 2005, 2006, and 2007.
To reiterate, we’re in a global economic boom and emerging markets such as India, China, Brazil, and Russia are at the forefront. This explains why EWZ, a multi-billion dollar index fund of Brazilian stocks, is doing so well. To profit off this revolution you must therefore buy EWZ.
If facebook went public I would immediately sell my EWZ and load up on facebook, but there are no plans as of yet for facebok to go public. Should facebook decide to go public it wouldn’t be too unreasonable to assume that the stock would surge on its IPO, and possibly end the year up 1,000% percent or more, based on its huge revenue growth and web 2.0 hype. However, the closest investment to facebook with regards to the new era which we’re in is EWZ. True, EWZ isn’t an internet company, but the growth of facebook, web 2.0, emerging markets, and EWZ is inextricable.
McCain or Romney will win the election because we’re in a new era lead by the smarties of the new world order. In order for the ’smarties’ who are vested in commodities to continue to make money as they have since the Iraq war began, it is imperative that republican be elected in 2008 so that the Iraq occupation will continue, and oil and other commodity prices will continue to rise. To profit off this inevitability I have been recommending buying the energy select spider, XLE. As the occupation drags on through eight more years of republicanism you can at least be able to profit off the relentless rise in gold and oil prices, even if you oppose the administration.
Americans will elect another republican because family church values are still very important, as well as national and international security. The democrats don’t have such a strong, unifying platform, which is why Bush and Reagan had such successful terms and have encountered weak resistance from the democrats. Contrary to the boo hoo hoo media, the majority of Americans are enjoying a comfortable lifestyle, with easy, plentiful credit. Consumers are still racking up tons of credit card debt and spending exorbitant amounts of money (a term I call spendism) despite the negativity doom and gloom of the media and democrats. We’re in an era of perpetual consumerism, spendism, and materialism.

Fed cuts by 1/2 point, Obama loses …the smartist revolution lives on
In a major blow to the boo hoo hoo ers and a victory to the smarties of the web 2.0 globalist revolution the federal reserve has slashed interest rates by half a point, Obama lost the primary in Florida, and Mc Cain won the republican primary. Also, John Edwards announced his resignation this morning and yet another web 2.0 site was featured in the SF Chronicle.
Obama, Edwards Lose; McCain & Hillary win
In order to understand why the Florida outcome is so beneficial to the smarties you have to understand where the candidates stand in relation to the smarties of the new world order. The smarties who are tied to the pro-war interests are driving force behind the staggering rise in oil, gas, food prices, defense companies, coal, and gold for the past three years. Since Mc Cain and Clinton, pro war anti-timetable candidates, won the Florida primary odds are this trend of rising commoditiy prices and continued defense spending will only continue, benefiting the smarties financially. As I have predicted many times on my blog the smartist revolution ISN’T going away, and the results of the Florida primary only bolsters my argument.
John Edwards, Huckabee and Obama-three anti-economic growth, anti globalist, anti free-trade, anti-Iraq war candidates lost badly in Florida. Edwards came in third and Obama came in second by a large margin.
Economic and financial perpetualism, and the transition to a type one civilization
The transition to type 1 civilization is inevitable and the indications of this transition are already apparent. The fantastic rise of google is an example of this ,as well as the the staggering growth of online networks as well as signs of so called economic and financial ‘perpetualism’. The actual transition won’t happen for another fifty of so years.
We are entering an era of ‘economic perpetualism’ resulting from gobalization and reduction in market & economic inefficiencies. The result is a much more robust, resiliant gobal economic and marketplace system immune from crashes, bear markets, and eventually volatility. The market will become so attuned that arbiters will nullify most voliatility. Globalization will provide endless growth possibilites combined with increasingly advanced financial instuments.
At some time in the distant future when the dow is at 50,000 or so instead of seeing .1-1% daily fluctuations as we do today, .001-.01% flutuations will be the norm. There will still be volatility, but the percentage will become smaller.
Federal reserve cuts interest rates by half a point…stock market surges (and then falters in the last hour of trading)
In yet another defeat for the gloomy boo hoo hoo ers and a vitory for the smarties the fed has cut interest rates by half a point, sending the stock market higher by almost a percent. The smarties who are purponents of econpomic growth, Laissez-faire capitalism, free trade as well as entreprenurialism are therefore beneficiaries of the fed’s recent rate cutting. The middle class, on the other hand, will have to contend with increased inflation resulting in a further rise in food prices, gas prices, healthcare, and education. As I wrote in my three part series this trend is innevitable and will only continue since we’re living in an era of economic, social, and financial perpetualism with the smarties (aka The Creators) of the new world order at the helm.
In summary:
WE’RE IN A NEW ERA
WEB 2.0 IS NOT A BUBBLE
ECONOMIC PERPETUALISM IS REAL
THE STOCK MARKET WILL GO MUCH HIGHER
THE SMARTIES OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER ARE THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THE TRANSITION TO A TYPE ONE CIVILIZATION
A REPUBLICAN WILL WIN IN 2008
BUY EWZ STOCK TO PROFIT OFF THE NEW ERA

Pseudo experts
Every webmaster forum has pseudo experts and while they tend to be well-respected members of their communities they shouldn’t be immune to criticism.
A pseudo expert is someone who posts guides and blogs regarding various internet marketing/SEO topics while making little if any money or success in the aforementioned fields. For example, a pseudo expert may write an elaborate 2000 word guide on adult marketing that gets a positive reception, yet the original poster makes very little if any money on adult marketing. Another example would be someone who runs an SEO blog but doesn’t make any money with SEO.
Since pseudo experts are unable to make money online easily though automation (SEO, clickbank, azoogle etc) they tend to do a lot of tedious grunt work instead, usually for less than minimum wage. Such tasks include content writing, banner/logo design, directory submission, website design, wordpress installation, etc. If they were truly experts they wouldn’t have to perform grunt work but would be able to make automated income through affiliate marketing or adsense.
In addition, pseudo experts tend to create so called ‘marketing blogs’ where they ramble about internet marketing and various widgets. The only problem is that they lack the skillset to establish any meaningful reader base or monitization.
Pseudo experts also make a lot of faulty assumptions in their writings. Eli, for example, whom I respect his efforts is a pseudo expert and he reveals that by making this noobish post regarding a so called free amazon.com link.
Blue Hat SEO-Advanced SEO Tactics ยป Free Amazon.com Link. While it is obvious that astore.amazon.com is an authority site it doesn’t pass any of its link authority to the individual anazon stores. It is no different than having a blogger blog or a myspace account. True myspace and blogger are very well trusted domains, but they don’t pass any authority to thier subpages which are actually orphan pages.
Pseudo experts aren’t bad people; they are noobs though. And there is nothing with being a noob. But just don’t pass yourself off as someone with expertise when you are unable to apply it to yourself.
Examples:
SEO_mike from wickedfire: noob
Recently he began advertising an autoblog service on wickedfire whereiIn exchange for signing up for a hostgator account via an affiliate link he would set up five autoblogs on your hostgator account. The irony is that if autoblogs were so profitable he would be able to make money though the auto blogs instead of trying to hustle money from hostgator. I’m not sure how many signups Mike has gotten but I doubt he made much money. Hostgator pays affiliates $1000/referral for the first 11-19 referrals so if Mike gets 15 signups he will have made $1,500, good but nothing to write home about. Meanwhile, he has to wait 60 days before he gets his affiliate income. Making matters worse is since he already tapped the wickedfire userbase the rate of new referrals will decline and eventuall fall to zero, which makes his revenue unsustainable.
Forums are full of noobs and pseudo experts.
Another example is mixcat or mrcat who runs a crappy directory and search engine service (mixcat.com). He frequently posts obvous garbage on sitepoint and webtalkforums while pimping his website. He is the epitome of the forum noob.
