Like the new Playstation 4? Buy SNE

Sony Corporation announced their next generation console last week. It is going to be called Playstation 4. PS4. I watched the unveiling of the new console on a live stream. I can say that I am more than impressed with what Sony has accomplished. The new controller looks amazing, with the touchscreen and share button.


Jimmy Fallon also gave us a glimpse of the new console by inviting Sony on his show to demo the new Killzone:ShadowFall. Game-play looks amazing and I believe games can only get better from here. 


Well what does this mean? It means that as an investor, I couldn't help but look at Sony (SNE) and check out the chart. Below is a weekly chart starting from the beginning of 2011 until now. It appears that its broken the downtrend and its made a nice swing high which could indicate the beginning of  a new uptrend.


SNE had good volume in January to the upside and the subsequent sell-off was on weak volume. SNE looks like a buy and hold at least for the duration of this year. One thing to keep in mind is that Microsoft (M) has also announced their next generation console, the XBOX 720. However, the gaming market has proven that these two consoles can co-exist at least in the previous 2 generations (PS2 - XBOX) and (PS3 - XBOX 360). Happy Gaming!

If you need more convincing, please read this article by Delian Naydenov.
Its a very convincing read and with a title like "Sony's Common Stock Could Double" I have to say, that I agree. I am personally looking for a target of $22.00/share but I would gladly take $40-$50 a share any day!


Investing in farmland? - Here is a quick way how.

One of the easiest ways to invest in global farmland is to buy shares of  Adecoagro (AGRO). AGRO is a Luxembourg-based company that owns around 500,000 acres of South American farmland, consisting of 23 farms in Argentina, 13 farms in Brazil, and one in Uruguay. Land is like gold and silver. You can't create it out of nothing and its disappearing fast. AGRO is another bargain play that I like based on price action and fundamentals. George Soros also likes AGRO. Its a long term play with excellent upside. You can buy the farm without driving the tractor.

Follow the link below and see why George Soros likes AGRO.

How to make money selling drugs.


Here is a trailer on a film that was shown at the Toronto International Film Festival last year. It basically covers the drug trade and how people profit from it. This is only the trailer as the movie has yet to come out on DVD. I don't condone the selling of illegal drugs for profit, but I do admire the mindset of some the people who have become successful doing so. In a legit business environment, these people can be Fortune 500 CEOs. Featuring 50 Cent, Eminem and the real "Freeway" Rick Ross.

Ucore - HREE Lottery Play Buy Recommendation

Once in a while certain trades are long shots and may take years to develop. Investing in HREE (Heavy Rare Earth Elements) is one of those trades. If you would like to know what REE are then please start by checking out  Wikipedia - Rare Earth Element to learn more. But just so you know, Rare Earth Elements are exactly that, Rare Elements that come from the earth and are used for everything from wind turbines to mobile phones and electronics.

China controls 90% of the REE market in regards to production and exportation. However, the Chinese are cutting production to control the supply and price of these elements. This has forced other countries to look for other sources of REE closer to home.

If you are looking for a way to invest in HREE, you should have a look into Ucore (UCU.V). As far as price action goes, its trading at the lows of this year and at .34c/share, it can be the a nice lottery ticket. This stock has seen highs of 1.29 in 2011 on interest from the Department of Defense. Ucore trades on the TSX Venture.

The DOD needs the HREEs to produce advanced weapons systems like cruise missles and the M1 Abrams tank. I plan to buy some and tuck it away for the next 5-10 years.

The Collapse of The American Dream Explained in Animation

Here is another video I watched today. I already watched this when it first came out. I am sharing this for those who haven't seen this yet. Its a good way to introduce the general public to what is exactly going on with the monetary system today.


Money - Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? - Episode 1 of 3 (Full Documentary)



I had some spare time today due to a snow storm and I decided to watch this. Its a good watch, about 1 hour long. It focuses on people who go to seminars to learn about making money. It also covers the people who teach these seminars and people who have actually made money with what they have learned.


What I learned from this movie is that eventually you need to stop going to the seminars once you have learned the skills and put them to action. Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T.Kiyosaki is a must read for everyone.


OIL - Buy Recommendation

Here is another opportunity that I will taking advantage of.

Oil - Black Gold - Sweet Texas Tea

You hear everyone talk about it and complain about it. I am going to take advantage of it. It is interesting that the price of oil drops but yet the price at the pump only goes up. In my neighbourhood the price is $1.30/L for 87 octane. Oil is looking good right now and you can use the OIL etf as an investment vehicle. OIL trades on the NYSE:ARCA exchange, has good volume and for the most part tracks the oil futures prices.

Below is a Daily Chart covering OIL from the beginning of 2013 until today. 

Its priced right and anything below 21.50 is a bargain. If the price keeps dropping, buy more.



SLV - Silver Buy Recommendation

Hello everyone, and welcome to my blog. In this blog I will be covering buy recommendations on things I personally invest in. You are welcome to follow along in my journey of investing. For my first post I will be covering a buy on SLV or Silver. I personally don't use SLV as an investment tool, I buy physical silver in the form of government bullion. I already hold some and intend to buy more.

The chart below is a daily chart covering the price of silver from the start of 2013 till today As you can see we had a nice sell off with increasing volume in mid-feb. This is a good buying opportunity. We had a nice reversal to 28.50 on good volume. If we can break the downtrend then price should push towards 30.00.

Look to offload at $30.00 for a quick flip.
buy: Anything below 28.20
short term target: $30.00
