    The Bermuda Effect: Where Do Mysteriously Disappearing Clients Go?
    You know the story: from the 70s onwards in the triangle of sea defined by Bermuda, Bahamas and Puerto Rico planes and big ships have inexplicably disappeared together with their crews.What does the Bermuda triangle have to do with your company? Did it ever happen to you? You are talking with a client who is showing interest in your products or services and, suddenly, she mysteriously disappears without a trace. Vanished.Or the client seems interested, you know you’ve done a good job and think you’ve won her over. You have an agreement and your client has promised to call you back. Days go by and the client has disappeared; phone calls, emails, faxes seems to have no other result than pushing her fu

When I contacted Value Line about this discrepancy , I was surprised to learn that they had changed their method of computing the index for "market highs" from "geometric" to "arithmetic."

    Email Marketing and CAN-SPAM - Understanding the CAN-SPAM Law

    After some forty years of banking and investments, I retired in 2001. But since I do not golf, I soon found retirement to be very boring. So I decided to return to the investment world after ten months. However, those ten months were not a complete waste of time, for I had spent them in trying to utilize my forty years of investment experience to gain perspective on the most recent stock market "bubble" and subsequent "crash."

    There were several people who saw the stock market crash coming, but they had different ideas as to when it would occur. Those who were too early had to suffer the derision of their peers. It was difficult to take a stand when so many were proclaiming that we were in a "new era" of investing and that the old rules no longer applied. Since the beginning of 1998 through the market high of March 2000, among 8,000 stock recommendations by Wall Street analysts, only 29 recommended "sell."

    I am on record as having called for a cautious approach to investment two years before the "Crash of 2000." In an in-house investment newsletter dated April 1998, I have a picture of the "Titanic" with the caption: "Does anyone see any icebergs?"

    When I resumed employment in 2002, I happened to glance at the chart on the last page of Value Line, which showed the stock market as having topped out, by coincidence, in April 1998, the same date as my "Titanic" newsletter! The Value Line Composite Index reached a high of 508.39 on April 21, 1998 and has been lower EVER SINCE! But on the first page of the same issue, the date of the market high was given as "5-22-01"!

    Everyone Qualifies For This Government Loan
    Nope, your eyes did not deceive you. There are government back loans that almost anyone that has a business can qualify for. These government backed loans are offered through the SBA, but are not at all like you might think. These are bank loans that are backed by the government “hence the term, government backed loan”.What makes this loan so amazing in that it is actually a bank loan in which banks will loosen up their standards to let almost anyone have them. Unlike a traditional mortgage loan or finance loans, this specific SBA loan is a line of credit that is easy to obtain with low interest charges and very flexible terms. Many people will get this confused with a government grant loan, but even though it is easy

    e of the market high was given as "5-22-01"! When I contacted Value Line about this discrepancy , I was surprised to learn that they had changed their method of computing the index for "market highs" from "geometric" to "arithmetic." They said they would change the name of the Value Line "Composite" Index to the Value Line "Geometric" Index, since that is how it has been computed over the years. Currently Value Line is showing a recent market low on 10-9-02 and the most recent market high, based on this new "arithmetic" index, on 4-5-04, ANOTHER ALL-TIME HIGH! If they had stayed with the original "geometric" index, the all-time high would still be April 21, 1998!

    Later that year, I was pleasantly surprised to read in "Barron's" an interview with Ned Davis, of Ned Davis Research, that said that his indicators had picked up on the bear market's beginnings in April 1998, the same date as my "Titanic" newsletter! So, my instincts were correct! I believe that we are in a "secular" downturn that began in April 1998 and the "Bubble of 2000" was a market rally in what was already a long-term bear market.

    Another development transpired soon after I resumed employment in 2002. I happened to notice one day that, in its "Market Laboratory," "Barron's" had inexplicably changed the P/E Ratio of the S&P 500 to 28.57 from 40.03 the previous week! This was due to a change to "operating" earnings of $39.28 from "net" or "reported " earnings of $28.31 the previous week. I and others wrote to "Barron's Mailbag" to complain about this change and to disagree with it, since these new P/E ratios could not be compared with historical P/Es. "Barron's apparently accepted our arguments and, about two months later, changed back to using "reported" earnings instead of "operating" earnings and revised the S&P 500 data to show a P/E Ratio of 45.09 compared to a previous week's 29.64.

    But a similar problem occurred the next day in a siste
