ARNEL PINEDA THE REAL DEAL JOURNEY HITS THE JACKPOT!! BY PAUL DOUGLAS BOYER OF MAD MONEY MACHINE, MMM 115 FASHIONABLE FRUGALITY

Hi, Im Paul Douglas Boyer and Ill be bringing you this blog and a podcast that discusses fun investment topics and sometimes reviews the Mad Money recommendations of Jim Cramer. Also, each podcast will have money-making idea segments like Learning Earning (brought to you by Index Funds Advisors), Guru Roulette, and Tools in the Crib. Ill also answer questions you may have regarding your investments and try to give you some more details behind Cramers advice. Send your questions to me at feedback AT MadMoneyMachine.com and Ill try to answer them on the podcast or in the blog.

Guru Roulette: Ive replaced the numbers on a roulette wheel with the names of investment gurus and pundits such as Warren Buffet, Peter Lynch, and even Jim Cramer himself. When their name comes up, Ill give you a little background on their investment philosophy.

Tools in the Crib: Each show Ill give you a tool from the toolcrib to help you make money. Websites, books, TV shows theyre all in there.

Bio: Im Paul Douglas Boyer and I have an MSEE from The Johns Hopkins University. I have been an avid investor in the stock market for over 20 years. I worked for a Fortune 500 company for 18 years. My schedule is devoted to investing, portfolio management, and now to this website and podcast. Instead of enrolling as an MBA, CPA, or CFP and getting that fancy piece of paper, I have applied an engineers approach to doing my investment homework all these years. My goal with the podcast and this website is to bring more people up to a higher level of understanding of how they should be allocating the money in their investments, with the ultimate goal of reaching Financial Freedom. I also have a goal of getting people more knowledgable about investments at a younger age so they can take advantage of the power of compounded returns!

Remember: It takes money to make money and it takes stock to make a Mad Money Machine!

Climate Change – Who do we thank? DIRTY INVESTMENTS BY THE ROYAL BANK!

admin — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 17:26:52 +0000

Die-in and protest at the Royal Bank of Canada RBC Centre Branch in London, Ontario, Canada.

Raw & unedited.

The Tar Sands “Gigaproject” is the largest industrial project in human history and likely also the most destructive. The tar sands mining procedure releases at least three times the CO2 emissions as regular oil production and is slated to become the single largest industrial contributor in North America to Climate Change.

The tar sands are already slated to be the cause of up to the second fastest rate of deforestation on the planet behind the Amazon Rainforest Basin. Currently approved projects will see 3 million barrels of tar sands mock crude produced daily by 2018; for each barrel of oil up to as high as five barrels of water are used.

Since 2007 RBC Royal Bank Canada – has backed more than $16.9 billion (USD) in loans to companies operating in the tar sands—more than any other bank. Expansion of the tar sands is trampling the rights of Indigenous peoples, destroying globally significant ecosystems and significantly increasing Canadas carbon emissions.

Human health in many communities has seriously taken a turn for the worse with many causes alleged to be from tar sands production. Tar sands production has led to many serious social issues throughout Alberta, from housing crises to the vast expansion of temporary foreign worker programs that racialize and exploit so-called non-citizens. Infrastructure from pipelines to refineries to super tanker oil traffic on the seas crosses the continent in all directions to all three major oceans and the Gulf of Mexico.

The mock oil produced primarily is consumed in the United States and helps to subsidize continued wars of aggression against other oil producing nations such as Iraq, Venezuela and Iran.

Our objective is to save humanity and not just half of humanity. We are here to save mother earth. Our objective is to reduce climate change to [under] 1°C. [above this] many islands will disappear and Africa will suffer a holocaust. The real cause of climate change is the capitalist system. If we want to save the earth then we must end that economic model. Capitalism wants to address climate change with carbon markets. We denounce those markets and the countries which [promote them]. It’s time to stop making money from the disgrace that they have perpetrated.”
