A couple months ago, I wrote about this one trading magazine written and printed in Australia which sends a “this is your last issue warning” with every delivery, but the magazine continues to come regardless. I mentioned I was curiously attracted to articles about the late WD Gann for “reasons I can’t get into” and my [...]
I’ve been watching IVAN develop their technology for gas extraction from oil sands and shale rock. It’s heavy oil without the same environmental harm and carbon footprint left from present HTL technologies especially hydro-fracturing. Their technology is 100% self sufficient from steam re-capture, hence an almost ZERO CARBON FOOTPRINT. Ivanhoe owns proprietary technology which they’re using to build a sustainable [...]
Remember, it’s times like these when fortunes are made. Contrarian traders have to buy when most market participants think their stocks are going to be worthless, and sell when these participants think they’ve missed the boat.

At the end of your article, you might see an ad from a wine merchant suggesting you take a look at their inventory and pricing. To go one step further in our example, the merchant that is serving you the ad has agreed to pay the advertising network a generous fee if that user clicks through and ends up purchasing a product.
