A few items of interest.......

1. As you probably know, our original focus at Geoshares was on resource stocks. We are going to continue that. However, such stocks are only a small part of what is needed by investors now. The great resource stock bull run which started about 10 years ago is taking a breather. Barring some major discovery, this will likely continue at least until this fall.

2. Markets have dramatically changed in the past few years. These changes have not all been for the best. Many portfolios holding what were once regarded as blue chip stocks have been badly hurt..... even with the nice bounce over the past year.

3. Through Geoshares, we also came to realize that many investors were in fact speculating far too wildly on speculative juniors. There's nothing wrong with speculation but when people are betting a large portion of their retirement money on longshot, high-risk bets, this publication would rather avoid the scene. That's what we did.

4. The same applies to forex and options trading. All have their place but as speculative vehicles for part-time investors, we think this trend is plain nuts. To each their own.

5. In coming months and years, tremendous opportunities will be opening. Some opportunities will certainly be in the resource sector but many others will be in such areas as technology, communications, plus many of the old bread and butter type industries.

6. Many of these new opportunities will be with companies which have solid balance sheets and a history of earning profits. Many will appear boring to momentum players and traders. However, it's our guess they and their shareholders will be around long after the current momentum crowd have fizzled and faded away.

Our new publication called Investors Pal is aimed at the 35 - 55 crowd. It is for busy people who can't or don't want to spend the day watching markets. The publication will also interest older people and those already retired for whom capital preservation is an important factor.

There are many ways to invest..... and every investor has their own needs and requirements. We can't fill the bill for all but we can for some. That's what InvestorsPal will soon be doing..... hand in hand with Geoshares.com.

Good Luck to all.
