MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT - Bogey's Grille, Bogart Room Wednesday, December 17, 5:30PM

Greetings from Tim!

Football practices continue for my 7th grader because we WON the Regional Championship and are headed to National Championships in Orlando, Florida next week. Cheer us on! Send us your good thoughts in the mornings (9AM-10AM start time likely) of Monday, Wednesday & Friday next week. I believe in the power of positive thinking - and hope the boys can bring home the metal.

For those of you who came to last month's event - THANK YOU! You all made such a great night of ideas and perspectives. A BIG THANK YOU TO DREW STIETZEL for his follow up presentation to his summer presentation on geothermal with the GAS-BUSTER idea that extends the MPG's on your vehicles using a form of hydrogen boosting power. Drew did a great job of teaching us about the technology and hope to see Drew get his business up and running so he can install them in our vehicles as soon as possible.

Thanks also to Pierce Onthank from AEGG (American Energy Group) who gave us an excellent insight into his natural gas pipeline business in Pakistan. It sure sounded like business was going full speed ahead and the stock is up nicely to $1.00 from his previous presentations at $0.65 and $0.75. AEGG is located in Westport at Gorham Island.

Thanks to Mark Juviler for connecting us to the web using his Apple iPhone as a modem! It was very helpful to have that connection to pull up charts on each person's idea for us all to review. The "INVESTMENT IDEAS" are at the link on this website - http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p4P2Qbq7qqC1UZpy1VImeAw

There were many ideas at the last meeting. Using LIMITED LEVERAGE - the strategy we employ at the group is up over 40% this year! If you chose to double-lever the strategy you could be up 85%. Congrats to all of you who have put your best foot forward.

THE AWARD TO THE WINNER from the October 1 meeting was Susan who shorted the S&P500 for a massive 7 range profit. Remember a 3 range profit = 1% return to the portfolio (if there are 10 ideas). Come to the meeting to learn more about how to "size" positions and how to measure risk.

Remember the mission of the group is for us all to share our perspective, experience, and insights to help all of us make money in our portfolios and/or to save money (like geothermal-dx technology for home heating/cooling/hot water). WE ALL ARE BETTER OFF WHEN WE SHARE!

Let me know if you are coming - we had 15 people at our last meeting and we have room for a few more. Do reply early! I have a few ideas for speakers. If you would like to present something to the group, let me know.
