Character with a capital "c"Taipan Group's Dynamic Market AlertBy J. Christoph Amberger---------------------------- Three New Picks That’ll Total a 300% Gain by Christmas The same technology that launched Toyota Motors -- crushing Ford and GM in the process -- will soon be unveiled by this $1.80 railroad stock. It’s one of three stocks that’ll double by Christmas. -------------------------- Character with a capital “c”by J. Christoph Amberger “It builds character.” This is our standard reply to our children’s complaints that they see no reason to continue their piano, cello or oboe lessons. The response also serves well when it comes to explaining why a Sunday evening has to be spent at a concert or recital, rather than watching reruns of America’s Funniest Home Videos. But apart from character issues, we can adduce both heredity and tradition as well. Both the best wife of ‘em all and I come from families where character was spelled with a capital “c.” And if we had to do everything we’re asking our children to do and emerged halfway well adjusted and able to fend for ourselves, well, that’s what they’ll be doing, too. Like last night, when we took my middle son to see his cello teacher perform at a local university. Truth be told, I was cringing at the prospects myself: It was a “novel,” “stunning,” “innovative” and “interdisciplinary” approach, featuring cello soloists and ensembles accompanied with modern dance. “Stunning” and “interdisciplinary,” of course, are academic code for “mawkish” and “pretentious.” And like much of modern art, the performances detracted from the musical skills of the instrumentalists, forcing the whole thing to toe the line between the utterly ridiculous and the merely laughable. Which is where the “Character” thing came in handy, to keep us from laughing out loud at the black dancer in a flowing white silk shirt and skin-tight brown underpants who was performing contortions to select movements from the Bach Etudes. At the reception that followed the concert, my son’s cello teacher assured him that one day, he too could be part of an ensemble playing just like the musicians he just watched. I watched his eyes become round like saucers with sheer terror at the prospects. -- Less than 15 points separated the Dow from hitting 12,000 today. Luckily, people are too distracted by the peccadilloes of an ex-Congressman to see the economic forest for the trees: Unemployment is near record lows, absolute GDP growth is still close to historic records, and new U.S. debt has halved over the past two years. Manufacturing, too, continues to rise. The Fed Bank of New York’s general economic index rose to 22.9, the highest in four months, from 13.8 in September. Businesses are investing record profits in new equipment and inventories, which increased to 2.5 from minus 4. The New York Fed’s shipments index increased to 22.5 from 20.6. Inventories Meanwhile, the manufacturing cost index declined to 30.8, the lowest since March 2005, from 41 in September, while the measure of prices received by factories rose to 17.5 from 16. And even as the trade deficit widened, exports rose 2.3% to $122.4 billion as American companies exported capital goods including commercial aircraft, industrial machines and computers in August, the Commerce Department said last week. These data have all the earmarks of a successful last quarter of 2006. Let me repeat my forecast: We’ll see the Dow at 12,000 before we see it back at 11,000. ---------------------------- TAIPAN TIDINGS “Turn $1,000 into $11,500... or Owe Nothing!” A simple trading system is quietly turning individual investors (some of them complete novices) into stock market wizards. In fact, it’s already delivered 160% in just three days. If you’re willing to learn an elementary two-step system, you’ll turn $1,000 into $11,500...or owe nothing.

Quote of the Day: “Weak-kneed members of both parties have been calling for a timetable to be announced for withdrawal from Iraq. No other war in thousands of years of history has ever had such a timetable announced to their enemies. Even if we intended to get out by a given date, there is not the slightest reason to tell the terrorists that. It is frivolous politics at its worst.” - Thomas Sowell, Oct. 10, 2006
