2012 the future and new markets to invest in
What to invest in during 2012? Emerging technologies. During this year we will see a number of commercial launches of emerging technology and products you always thought were science fiction fantasies. If you are a bit of a gambler, there will be many opportunities for daring investments. One of the new technologies that could potentially change the way we interact with our computers is visual 3d rendering without glasses or any other accessories… Think about it for a while…3d visualization without any paraphernalia. 3d rendering directly from the screen. Sounds too good to be true? Perhaps. But if it works, it is applicable to a
huge market.
Every electronics brand worth mentioning will be wanting this. The screen as a medium for marketing will be bigger than ever. Get ready for 3D megascreens on the building outside your window, just like Blade Runner. Here is what is getting us excited about this emerging technology:
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Stream TV Networks, Inc. announced today that it will unveil its new Ultra-D technology at CES 2012. Ultra-D is a next generation 3D without glasses display technology that surpasses all 3D viewing experiences offered to date.
Developed by Stream TV Networks, Inc., the producer of the eLocity brand of mobile tablets launched first in 2010, the Ultra-D technology is strictly proprietary and leverages custom hardware, middleware techniques and software algorithms to create unprecedented autostereoscopic 3D imagery. This technology will provide consumers with access tounlimited 3D content by enabling real-time conversion of:
2D content into 3D autostereoscopic (without glasses)…
Blackberry on Amazon
Samsung on Amazon
If you want our guess, we would think it has to do with splitting the signal and delivering it as separate, time and X/Y shifted images.
Whichever the case, this is the type of technology that has huge potential. If Stream TV can manage to claim this technology and corner the market will only be proven through time, but they are the first ones to step onto the mainstream 3D stage and they do seem to have a market-ready product.
When their stock become public – this is one emerging technology investment to consider..

You will probably agree that the key to success is knowledge. Our new shortlist of book recommendations about economy focus change and the volatile economic development we face. What economic indicators will influence the global economy and will the growth of the last decades continue?
The covers of these recommended books about economy may look defeatist but we suggest the opposite is true of the contents and give these our warm approval.
Currency Wars
The Dollar is not alone and the dynamics of global economics could potentially ignite a new monetary crisis on a scale beyond anything yet experienced.

The scope is national and international and a suggested read for anyone wondering how to go forward and play the new economy. Click here to read ratings on Amazon
The Third Industrial Revolution
The first revolution gave us the steam engine and the beginnings of industrial production. The second revolution (also called the technological revolution) opened a new world of tools and benefits and facilitated true mass production, helping build nations and prosperity. We are now on the edge of transcending into a new era of production and economy. Recommended reading if you want to know what the third industrial revolution is, and what opportunities it provides.

Global markets spike on financial emergency plans
Dow Live Report – The year has been tough on the markets but this week matters may have turned for the better. Or so one may think when looking at the DJIA graphs, and most global stock markets, for that matter. The week has been full of positive incentives and actions dedicated to stabilizing the global economy. The keen observer will note that all activities currently are focused on supporting, stabilizing and saving, which in itself is worrying.
Europe is once again the main actor on the global market stage. The move to vastly strengthen the EFSF (European Financial Stability Facility) and increase the EFSF and IMF bond, helped to ignite the latest market spike that pushed the Dow 422 points higher on Wednesday. Add to that the coordinated cheap dollar loan plan which is essentially a way of pushing the funding problem forward by offering extremely cheap loans without collateral. In short, a shot in the arm to artificially boost morale and provide some respite from the drift towards the edge. Good or bad? Will it be effective? Short term good, mid-long term.. obviously bad. Somewhere along the trip someone has to pay. Even printing new money comes with a severe cost down the line. In any case, necessary.
This is a true emergency package of vast proportions that should clear any doubts as to the severity of the current global economy health. This is a time when the machinery underlying current market levels is based on financial steroids and not on fundamental strengths. If you rev an engine too hard and too log if finally goes bust. Play the spikes for what they are – short-term reactions to emergency treatments and fueled by the investive machinery itself.
