WiTricity and any pharmaceutical company looking into longevity treatments

>any pharmaceutical company looking into longevity treatments
is there some serious one?

>>2799825
Ring Aubrey de Grey and find out, I suppose.

>>2799823
wow about WiTricity...!

nuclear energy
biodiesel
hydrogen as a power source (risky)

Short Toyota.

>>2799815
so you think nuclear engery will be alright?

>>2799835
when do you realistically think it will be ready for commercial use?

>>2799844
It already is.

My dad's a stock broker irl.

He suggests investing in Apple and Target

>>2799815
hope you're trolling

>>2799836
>nuclear energy
hope you're trolling

>>2799844
It's already used in some industrial processes and recently they've come out with wireless chargers for small electronic device's such as cellphones.

too much losses, really inefficient
i don't see how this could be the future

it doesn't make batteries more compact
the capacity is stays the same or even drops
that's not the battery of the future

>pharmaceutical company looking into longevity treatments
we're too far away from making anyone live longer
if you invest you'll never see a profit

>>2799862
i'm not trolling
people will always need electricity and that's a pretty damn effective source, which is safe and relatively clean

Airborne wind turbines/kite power. EV battery manufacturers. Maybe some commodities that are just about to peak. Sadly it might be too late to drop some into disaster preparedness companies to play off the radiation/earthquake fears.

>>2799875
with the recent disasters in Japan and shit, investment in such an industry would be frankly retarded.

>>2799867
>too much losses, really inefficient
50% efficiency is pretty damn good considering.
>that's not the battery of the future
But suddenly, electric cars become a helluva lot more viable.
>we're too far away from making anyone live longer
Incorrect.

says the idealist

>>2799899
Excellent point sir, may I offer a rebuttal?
Go fuck yourself with a cactus.

>>2799894
look, the prices are low now because of the disaster, so it could be a very nice buy...

Obviously there are 1000s of educated professionals with more knowledge and experience than me asking the exact same thing. I would search for a niche that they don't know about, possibly one related to the field I specialize in.

Chinese Nuclear companies.
and
Japanese Nuclear companies.

All dem thorium r belong to us.

>>2799925

I feel you bro.

>>2799899

>durr I no longer know what to say
>hurr I'll just go Ad Hominem since he's an optimist and does not agree with me, must be retarded!

Stop it, really.

>>2799995
why so many implications? I never said any of those things, and for the most part, agree with him.

I just think his preoccupation with science fiction related stuff is funny is all.

REIT.

>>2800048
Science fiction.
You're right, it's crazy.
In fact, it's even worse than that, it's nuts.
You wanna hear something really nutty? I heard of a couple guys who wanna build something called an airplane, you know you get people to go in, and fly around like birds, it's ridiculous, right? And what about breaking the sound barrier, or rockets to the moon? Atomic energy, or a mission to Mars? Science fiction, right? Look, all I'm asking is for you to just have the tiniest bit of vision. You know, to just sit back for one minute and look at the big picture. To take a chance on something that just might end up being the most profoundly impactful moment for humanity, for the history... of history.

>>2800051
and this is why I envy your profound sense of wonder.

being an idealist isn't a bad thing, you know.

Areva. Brazilian banks.
Probably some 50% up in q3.

>>2800055
Damn straight. But I'm gonna try my hardest to make it happen. Idealism to realism.

Wind energy

That shit is bound to gain momentum in the next 50 years. Also sell all of your .com shit RIGHT THE FUCK NOW, the next internet-bubble is about to burst anytime..

>>2800080
>Also sell all of your .com shit RIGHT THE FUCK NOW, the next internet-bubble is about to burst anytime..
Oh? Elaborate.

>>2800113

The bubble won't burst like it is before since some companies actually did figure out how to monetize the internet (Amazon, Google). But some are valued entirely on speculation that they can be monetized (Facebook, Twitter). Just be smart about it is all. Pick a company that makes money, not one that's popular.

>>2800124
Sounds good, i'll make a mental note.

humans won't venture to the stars, we are too inferior, we will send machines controlled by quantum computers with mechanisms that utilize nanotechnology and chemistry in a similar manner to our proteins to move, sense, process raw materials, produce and store energy.

>>2800127
>mental note
This is elementary, if you have to go through the trouble of making a "mental note" for something so simple then you should probably just give up.

>>2800146

It is investing 101 but a lot of people make that mistake so it's important to reiterate. People are often emotional investors and equate popularity with money without doing any fact checking.

>>2800146
Figure of speech, you dolt.

>>2800146
I'm not even gonna say anything about this post

>become stockbroker
>kill myself as I contribute nothing to society

>>2800184
Good. I wish more brokers would follow your example.

>>2800184
>become stockbroker
>make large amounts of money
>give money towards research that will aid the human race

Not necessarily.

>>2800151
A succesful investor needs to be pragmatic and logical, I suppose everyone makes mistakes but inundate needs to analyze how he failed to realize this fact on his own. He should have realized he would be competing with other investors and naturally that it is not a good idea to join ponzi schemes (too late).
>>2800171
dont get mad bruh

GOOG, GME, NFLX and CAT

>>2800233
>GOOG
how about no?

>>2800184
>>2800199
Ok but I will die eventually anyway so instead I will conduct scientific research to discover sectors of the economy that are undervalued and invest in them speeding up the development of the cure for cancer and other diseases, developing poor countries into prosperous 1st world countries and advancing technology, with the profits I will of course enjoy a moderate standard of living typical for an upper-middle class like a surgeon or a university professor because most of my wealth is tied up in stock anyway, yes I will be richer than other people but I don't see why the entire world's burdens should be placed on my shoulders, I will leave that wealth to charity after I die anyway.

Problem?

I'm predicting an appreciation of the yuan, so CNHs are a good bet.

>>2799840
Not good so far.
I will set my limit at 84.

RIM
GDOT
MRH

>>2800327
source?

DHX (Nidera)
PBR (Petrobras)

>>2800335
RIM - Eastman Kodak patent dispute, vulnerable to takeovers.

MRH + GDOT - RSI low, and other indicators suggest undervaluation.

Sorry, too tired to elaborate more. Ask me tomorrow if you want.

>>2800371
reveal the source for that information

>>2800392
watching market indicators, reading the FT.
