Millionaire Society Review – Is Millionaire Society a Legitimate Business?

November 30th, 2010

Read this Millionaire Society review if you are interested in learning about this online business that deals primarily with domain flipping. This program was developed by a very persuasive articulate young man by the name of Mack (no last name given). The question is can you make money flipping domains.

We all know the importance of domain names. The entire Internet is built around them. What you may not know as I didn’t until I did this Millionaire Society review, is that the number of new domain names registered each year is 47 and a half million and 42 and a half million domains are transferred to new owners. The concept of this system is to teach its members how to profit from the sale of domain names. Bye low and sell very high, a technique called flipping.

The system sells for a limited time for $97. Interestingly if you try to click away from the sales site a pop up comes up offering you a special $20 off one time deal, for a total cost of $77. You can draw your own conclusions about this over used sales technique.

After the Global Financial Crisis Comes the Global Humanitarian Crisis?

November 30th, 2010

What is the plural of “crisis”?

It seems like 2008 is becoming the year of global crisis. First we were faced with the worldwide food crisis, swiftly followed by, what now seems to be, a collapse of major financial institutions.

But it might not stop here. As FAO, the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation, calculated the cost to deal with the current food crisis at US$30 billion per year, donors stepped up their financial support.

But that was before the current financial crisis. At this moment, the governments worldwide concentrate their financial resources in keeping their banks and financial institutions afloat:

* The Belgian, French and Luxembourg governments put in US$9 billion to keep Dexia afloat.
* Previously Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg put up US$16.1 billion to save the Fortis bank.
* Britain is working on a US$87.7 billion bank recapitalization concentrating on Barclays, HSBC and the Bank of Scotland.
* Spain announced a US$40.9 billion fund to buy up bank assets and maintain liquidity
* Sweden is given Iceland’s biggest bank, Kaupthing, an emergency loan worth up US$702 million) to help keep it afloat.
* Germany has thrown a US$50 billion lifeline to struggling lender Hypo Real Estate.
* Italy is about to set up a rescue fund close to US$30 billion for the banking industry.
* Canada gave a US$25 billion “backstop” for there banks.
* Russia pledged to boost liquidity by more than US$100bn, on top of a US$5.4 billion loan to Iceland
* And of course we all know about the $700 billion monster US bailout

Global Financial Crisis? America Beats Japan in Gluten Free Demand – The GFP Matrix Shows Why

November 30th, 2010

This article compares previous research on gluten free e-demand in the Americas and Europe with analysis of major Asian countries using a re-developed GFP Matrix model. This model uses gluten free search term volumes in Google in specific communities to estimate the community’s gluten free market maturity. The matrix plots the raw gluten related search volumes versus ‘Adjusted celiac searches’ and finds a linear relationship between the two variables. The analysis looks at what defines a mature gluten free market as well as what products people in different countries are searching for and why. One of the main concepts in this article is ‘Adjusted Celiac searches’ which is based on raw gluten search term volumes. These values are then adjusted (increased) to account for internet usage in a country as well as the probable total search engine gluten queries (using specific country Google Market share as the basis). This adjusted value thus estimates the total gluten searches as if 100% of a country had internet access and all search engine results were used.

This intermediate value is then divided by (community population divided by 100) to gain a monthly ‘adjusted celiac search’ value. That is, assuming that that the average celiac rate is approximately 1 in 100 people (diagnosed and undiagnosed), this hypothetical value estimates on average, if all celiacs searched for gf products, how many times they searched for them each month. Note that as diagnosis in advanced countries may be as low as 20%, the actual number of times internet using celiacs currently search may be five times as much as the estimates predict!

To assist analysis, gluten related search terms were divided into seven groups as shown below. Only the top 50 terms were used for detailed statistical analysis, but in most cases, these fifty terms represent 95% of all terms.
