POPSReport Finds Deforestation Offers Very Little Money Compared To Potential Financial Benefits Right on! Finally! Perhaps, it is not too late. The same logic would have to apply to the owners of forests everywhere. It would make woodland an even better investment than it is now. Properly worked woodland can already combine income and capital appreciation far in excess of financial assets. The only risk is fire. So it would be worth investing in the best fire prevention measures and constant monitoring.

POPSOPEC ready to dump dollar? The smart way of getting out of the dollar is to do it early and as much as possible on the sly. Smart traders would buy back on the fall, sell on the rises, so they could profit all the way down.

POPS The Restoration of King Dollar Every time an international terrorist event occurs, like the al-Qaeda assassination attempt on former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto, the dollar falls. When the Turks threaten military action in Kurdistan, Iraq, with speculation that they might march toward the Kirkuk oilfields, the dollar falls. When comrade Vladimir Putin shows up in Iran, with mischief-making statements that support trade and nuclear partnerships with that terrorist government, the dollar falls. It seems as though any nasty international event leads to a dollar decline. This is not good. The dollar needs some propping up. Oil prices are rising. Gold prices are rising. And currency traders around the world have set up huge short-selling positions in the greenback. But a few strong words from Mr. Paulson, coupled with a few well-timed rounds of dollar-buying, could turn the U.S. currency story around

Now if people began to seriously invest seriously in growing trees, then we might make a step in a really sustainable direction.

POPSHow does google work? I have often wondered how they could be making so much from advertising when all of the web based advertising schemes before them basically failed. I understand that their system works significatinly better, by providing targeted ads, but 6.1 billion worth?
