Why I’m Bullish on “The Robot Revolution”

The lesson here?Continue reading "Why I’m Bullish on “The Robot Revolution”"

Organic Farmland: A Short-Term Buy in a Long-Term Trend 

CNAP COMMENT: You can forget about investing in the organic cow. It is already dead. Going nowhere. They fooled ya. Wanted the world to think all they had to do was stop the antibiotics and feed the cows real food and sing to them as they cut their throats and all would be well in the slaughterhouses again. Okay, call it a field of slaughter if it makes you feel all comfy inside as their blood drips from your own pores.

Nothing can change what it is until it stops. So the sooner you stop investing, the less money you'll lose long term.

The future is all about plants, not animals. You can take that to Wall Street.
