Whereto Industrial Age

         
                                    
                                  
is the question.                                   
                                              
Like similar others, Jim Kunstler, noting all the talk  
about recovery, asks "what recovery?": implying that   
there is nothing left to recover.  The Industrial Age   
is over.  Concurrently, like similar others, Dr. Leeb  
and his team, while they also believe we are heading  
into a post-industrial world, see one great last gasp  
from the Industrial Age.  This gasp will be defined by  
bull markets in minerals and foods, with oil going to  
$200, and the shares of the world's best stocks tied     
to these commodities rising accordingly.  Obviously,
stocks of companies central to the finding, extracting,
and transporting of oil are in this mix, but so are the   
stocks of companies manufacturing GPS-guided agri-
cultural machines.  This raises a cautionary:  As a  
recent incident in California makes clear, all our   
fancy technologies can easily be disrupted.  Even so,
toward better technologies is the direction in which 
leading research is moving, and must.                 
                                                        
In the sidebar to the right is a link to Kunstler's  
articles.  A Leeb Complete Investor search should   
return a link to his company's site, an info ad for  
for their services.  Purchasing their services is up
to you.  I received a mailing and am trying to glean
from it the answers they do not give.  Already know  
from other sources what the world's best company
in mineral commodities is.  I've been following its
stock.  Also know other answers.                       
                                                    
On the demise side of this Age being spotlighted,
General Motors may slide into bankruptcy, but while  
I wasn't watching, Ford's stock, which was hovering
around $2.00 per share, has moved above $4.00   
per share.
