*WAGONER TO GET GENEROUS PENSION PACKAGE
*OBAMA SAYS HOPEFUL OF FIAT-CHRYSLER DEAL,SAYS F.I.A.T. A FINE INTERNATIONAL COMPANY UNDER GOOD LEADERSHIP
Astoria, New York
The markets tumbled on Monday because of the continued plague of the auto industry. At the White House, President Obama said that GM's ceo was asked to resign because of need of change of direction in the auto maker pursuit to return back to financial soundness. Wagoner won't leave GM empty handed. He will receive generous pension plan worth over 20 million dollars. Obama, on behalf of the taxpayers, said that the government is not considering to run the auto industry. He said that a financial disaster has struck the industry and as if it was a natural disaster, the government has to intervene in the same manner. He is giving the auto makers GM and Chrysler another 30 days to come with a better restructuring plan. Regarding Chrysler, Obama is hopeful of FIAT-Chrysler deal. He believes FIAT to be a fine turnaround international auto maker under good leadership. FIAT, the jewel of the past Agnelli family of Italy, has undergone a major restructuring plan and now under new professional leadership, is in a position to gain from the overall global situation, said the real economist. Just a few years ago, a cancelled put option by GM netted 2 billion to FIAT.

MARKETS MUSTER A SIGNIFICANT RALLY ON TREASURY, HOME SALES
*RALLY BRINGS MARCH DECISEVELY IN THE GREEN AFTER INITIAL TUMBLE
Astoria, New York
A rally that ignited investors around the globe was sparked by the unveiling of the Treasury Plan to soak up bad toxic assets. The real economist believes that such a plan, as predicted earlier, would try to maintain real estate value from sinking lower. This would lead to more money printing and easily higher inflation down the road. Also, credit would flow back into the system to stimulate the sagging economy. The real economist predicted a positive month in an earlier post. We are seeing some spring action after a long and disastrous winter. The rally is decisevely in the larger stocks, but rotation should set in and we could witness one of the largest spring small cap and microcap rally since 1996. That rally commenced in April and ended in June. For additional info visit www.microcapstock.blogspot.com. The rally was also fueled by an increase of 5.1 pct in real estate sales for February.

BREAKING NEWS <> STEM CELLS STOCKS RALLY ON OBAMA
*OBAMA REVERSES REPUBBLICAN GEORGE W. BUSH POLICY AGAINST EMBROYONIC STEM CELLS
*STEM CELL STUDIES CAN HELP FIND CURES FOR MANY DISEASES
ASTORIA, NEW YORK
It took eight years of Bush's anti-stem policies to wipe out the capitalization of many genetic and stem cell research companies. Now, with Obama, the tide may favor these companies, if they were able to survive. The idea is that stem cells could help save lives in fighting many kinds of illnesses. From diabetes to Parkinson's disease to spinal injuries, scientists hope to find new ways to cures or prevention. While Bush's reasons were religious, it is understandable that this action has stirred up members in the religious community. Shares of stem cell companies rallied on the news and will be eyed upon by aggressive investors. Usually, these type of companies have a significant amount of risk associated with them and are better suited for sophisticated investors.

MICRO CAPS HUNTING - ( Part 3 ) DIRECT INSIDER BUYING
THE REAL ECONOMIST EXPLAINS GVSS STOCK PICK FOR PROS ONLY:
INSIDER BUYING IS A STRONG TOOL FOR EVALUATION.
-------------------------------------------------
There are many tools for evaluating micro cap stocks. I don't like to call them all penny stocks, because for me, penny stocks are the ones where you have at least 100 million shares or more and they trade for just a few pennies. Micro caps are just small tiny companies. When a micro cap becomes a penny stock, then I have to evaluate if to sell it or buy more. One of my preferred tool is Direct Insider Buying. Direct means that the insider is putting his/her money,dollar per dollar and not pennies on the dollar, for the purchase of traded shares. The insider is probably sending a signal to the street that he is buying because he feels that shares may be a bargain at that particular price. He may be right, he may be wrong, he may be clever or he may be not so clever. After the direct purchase, the insider has to file a Form 4 within an amount time. A Form 4 looks like this
http://app.quotemedia.com/quotetools/showFiling.go?name=GVI%20SECURITY%20SOLUTIONS%20INC:%204,%20Sub-Doc%201&link=http%3A//quotemedia.10kwizard.com/filing.xml%3Frid%3D12%26ipage%3D6081722%26DSEQ%3D1%26SQDESC%3DSECTION_BODY%26doc%3D1&cp=off&type=TEXT

Direct buying is real and tangible if you compare it to indirect buying or exercise of below market options or just free stock. Of course, direct insider buying is just one tool and many other tools must be looked at separately before combining them to see what effects it can have on that particular stock.
