A cure for cancer?

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

This is amazing. Kanzius RF therapy uses microscopic nanoparticles that attach to cancer cells, which then burn away tumors inside the body with harmless radio waves.

In trials with animal and human cells, the RF treatment destroyed 100 percent of malignant cells injected with nanoparticles, without harming surrounding healthy tissue.

A study in the November 2007 issue of the journal Cancer showed that tumor cells infused with nanoparticles and exposed to the electromagnetic field of the RF generator died within 48 hours of treatment, with no noted side effects.

A study in the Journal of Nanobiotechnology in January 2008 showed that destruction of human pancreatic cancer cells was 100 percent effective — again producing no noticeable side effects.

How to turn $100,000 into $6 Billion+ on inspectd.com

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

I think inspectd is good technical analysis practice. Obviously there are a lot more factors that come into play with real trading - but the tool does allow you to practice predicting charts.
Here is how I turned $100,000 into billions this morning (nearly 100,000% return) on inspectd:

1) I hit the skip button A LOT.
2) I only went long (bought) - and never shorted (sold).
3) I simply waited for a chart with an uptrend before buying

Trade with the trend - that’s it. Pretty simple.
Here’s the video:

Note: I am sure that there are ways to game this site (e.g. looking at the source and trying to get the stock info), but I didn’t cheat it. It would take too long to do by hand and it would also take too long to try to write a program to do it.
