The American Dream Film-Full Length



The AMERICAN DREAM is a 30 minute animated film that shows you how you’ve been scammed by the most basic elements of our government system.
All of us Americans strive for the American Dream, and this film shows you why your dream is getting farther and farther away.
Do you know how your money is created?
Or how banking works? Why did housing prices skyrocket and then plunge?
Do you really know what the Federal Reserve System is and how it affects you every single day?

THE AMERICAN DREAM takes an entertaining but hard hitting look at how the problems we have today are nothing new, and why leaders throughout our history have warned us and fought against the current type of financial system we have in America today. You will be challenged to investigate some very entrenched and powerful institutions in this nation, and hopefully encouraged to help get our nation back on track.

FORD is Up 80%, and is Just Getting Started: F

For three decades now, I’ve trusted Fords.

I got my first used Ford Escort as a college kid, drove it for years, then passed it down to my younger brother.

I bought a brand-new red Mustang in the late 1980s – and still regret ever having sold it.

I’ve since had an Escort wagon, which died only because the guy who changed the oil didn’t put the cap back on the oil pan when he was done.

And I just bought my latest Escort — a 2001 model with more than 95,000 miles on it. I have every reason to believe that with proper TLC, it’ll go to at least 200,000.  (more)

Why MicroFinancial Will Be the Market’s Next Ten-Bagger: MFI

It’s a very rare thing to find a potential ten-bagger like this. I think it’s only happened three or four times since I began investing in 1995. This is the kind of Peter Lynch stock that you catch when it’s an underfollowed microcap, that just happens to provide something people really need, and for which a highly fragmented market allows it room for potentially explosive growth.

MicroFinancial Inc. (MFI) also happens to operate in an area I have experience in. It’s part of the alternative finance sector that I’ve been working in for almost 10 years.

Peter Lynch always said to invest in something you understand, and in this case, it’s my expertise.

MFI leases business equipment and provides other forms of business and consumer financing. The businesses it assists might be startups, or they may be established. Even better, MicroFinancial doesn’t have to market directly to these businesses. A national network of equipment vendors, brokers and other dealers advertises on their behalf.  (more)

The Fresh Market Inc (NASDAQ: TFM)

The Fresh Market, Inc. operates as a specialty grocery retailer. The company offers various perishable product categories, including meat, seafood, produce, deli, bakery, floral, sushi, and prepared foods; and non-perishable product categories, such as traditional grocery and dairy products, as well as bulk, coffee and candy, beer and wine, and health and beauty products. As of March 12, 2013, it operated 130 stores in 25 states of the United States. The company was founded in 1981 and is headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Please take a look at the 1-year chart of TFM (The Fresh Market, Inc.) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of TFM (The Fresh Market, Inc.) After selling off from November til March, TFM has slowly worked its way higher. Throughout the year, the stock has created a key level at $55. For example, $55 was support several times last fall, and it has now acted as resistance once already back in May. Now the stock is approaching that level again and that could provide a potential trading opportunity.
The Tale of the Tape: TFM is back up at $55. A trader could enter a short position at $55 with a stop placed above that level. If the stock were to break back above that $55 resistance a long position would be recommended instead.

Trader alert: Keep an eye on the Transports

I think now is probably a good time to bring up the Dow Jones Transportation Average running up into its May highs. These fresh closing highs in trannies got all the Dow Theorists pumped up last week as they finally confirmed the new highs that the Industrials had already been making. But what you don’t hear much these days is the big underperformance for Transports lately. The relative strength the group had been showing this year peaked all the way back in March, believe it or not.
But why am I really worried up here? Well, it just bothers me when new highs are made that can’t hold for more than a day or two, especially when they’re all-time highs, as was the case in Transports. Here is the daily bar chart showing what just happened:
7-23-13 djt
Notice the bearish divergence that has been developing throughout the year as prices have rallied; the relative strength index has not confirmed. But more problamatic might be the weekly chart. Look at the same higher highs, but more bearish divergences in RSI:  (more)
