Right now, the stock market news is all about soaring energy prices. And this may part of what could undo corn ethanol.

Earlier this year, corn ethanol looked to be in a sweet position. The government offers huge subsidies to the Big Ag companies (like Archers-Daniels-Midland Co.) who produce corn for ethanol. Additionally, rising oil prices were making alternatives (like corn ethanol) more desirable. Politicians were out there stumping on increased support for ethanol so that we could break ties to foreign oil.

Now, however, as things are liable to do on the stock market, things have changed. Corn ethanol is no longer looking profitable. Indeed, ethanol producers are seeing their profit margins shrink as two, rather large, new factors are introduced:

• Price of natural gas.
• Flooding in the Midwest.

Back in January, it was unforeseen that all energy prices would be surging to the levels that they are at now. And natural gas plays a big role in the production of corn ethanol. With natural gas prices following oil prices ever higher, it is costing more to produce corn ethanol.

The flooding in the Midwest isn’t helping, either. Corn that was meant to be turned into ethanol is being washed away, and in some cases the land it was growing on is being ruined by the things that floodwaters bring (toxins from chemicals and pesticides, excessive animal waste, debris, etc.).

What once looked like a promising investment is now starting look rather bleak. Indeed, this might herald the end of corn ethanol as an alternative to gas for cars. Which means that other fuel sources will have to be found. On the other hand, though, some might see it as an opportunity to get in while the prices are low and hope that Congress steps in save the budding ethanol industry. It’s been known to happen with increasing frequency.

So I’m officially retired from the dealership, Benson Cadillac Nissan now. No longer selling cars, well, for someone else that is. This is what Robert Kiyosaki calls from his Rich Dad Poor Dad books going from being an employee and the poor way of thinking, to owning a business. Do you own your own business? Or does your business own you? Converse Motors is my auto business. I’m using a lot of techniques from Michael Gerber his book the E-Myth Revisited. This is an excellent book that *EVERY* entrepreneur should read! And I mean read! Now, what I was introducing you to at the end is about my system of how you can take $5 and turn it into a true $1200 cash! This is not a joke, scam, hype, MLM, anything like that what so ever. What is it? Well, tune in to the next video to find out. I’m in the finishing stages of developing this *AMAZING* New system! It’s not a 2-up MLM, not cash gifting, not any sort of scam or anything like that. That’s why I’m *SO EXCITED* to be sharing this with you! So if you’re looking to get into a system like CarbonCopyPro, Jimmy Davis and Dennis K are hot on Carbon Copy Pro, or Abunza with Gregory Drake, Greg Drake is an awesome guy by the way, go bigbrotherdrake07! Either one of those, they require an investment. How would you like to start your investment at $5??? *PLUS* you learn so much about how to grow your business that once you make that initial investment, the big bucks come easier! Stay tuned next week, as I’ll be pouring more details out to you!

John Reese Traffic Secrets 2.0 + Turn $5 into $1200 (Scam?)

In all my financial interactions -  be it planning for clients, training, teaching or writing, people have come to me with some problem which they think is unique.

In all the financial problems, I am able to find a pattern. Believe it or not, people more often than not choose the problem by their behavior. It is easy for me to find a pattern and say, “Well you choose your problem, did you not?“

Your financial problems would have been caused by some (or all) of the following financial behavior:

1. Not planning: The single biggest problem for most people is that they just do not plan their finances. Even if they are not happy about the results of what they have done so far, they do not change the way things are done.
2. Overspending: Many people with not very high incomes have very high ambitions. Most of this problem is because the salesmen in most shops do not tell you the price of a product, they only tell you the EMI - so anything from a plasma TV to a luxury home on the outskirts of the city are made to look cheap!
3. Not talking finance at home: Children are kept away from the finance topics at the dining table. Finance is perhaps the second most taboo topic at home! So many children grow up without knowing how much of sacrifice their parents have gone through to educate them.
4. Parents spending on education and marriage: There are just too many kids out there who believe that they need to worry about savings, investment and life insurance only at the age of 32 plus. This means your father, father-in-law or a bank loan has funded your education and marriage. Kids should take on financial responsibility at a much younger age than what is happening currently.
5. Marriage between financially incompatible people: Most marriages under stress are actually under financial stress. Either the husband or the wife is from a rich background and the other partner cannot understand or cope with the spending pattern. It is necessary to match people financially before marriage.
6. Delaying saving for retirement: “I am only 27 years old why should I think of retirement“ seems to be a very valid refrain for many 32-year olds! Every year that you delay in investing the greater the amount that you will have to save later in your life. Till the age of 32 it might be feasible for you to catch up, but after some time the amount that you need to save for retirement just flies away.
7. Very little life insurance: With all the risks of life styles, travel, etc. illness and premature death are common. We all have classmates who had heart attack at the age of 32 but still pretend that we do not need life or medical insurance.
8. Not prepared for medical emergencies: Normally big emergencies - financially speaking - are medical emergencies. Being unprepared for them - by not having an emergency fund is quite common.
9. Falling prey to financial pitches: The quality of pitches has improved! Aggressive young kids are recruited by brokerage houses, banks, mutual funds, life insurance companies, etc. and all these kids are selling mutual funds, life insurance, portfolio management schemes, structured products, et al.
10. Buying financial products from `obligated persons`: This is perhaps one of the worst things you can do in your financial life. A friend, relative, neighbor, colleague who has been doing something else suddenly becomes a financial guru because they have become an agent! You are saddled with a dud product for life!
11. Financial illiteracy: Most people do not wish to know or learn about financial products. They simply ask, Where do I have to sign? So buying a mutual fund is easier than buying life insurance!
12. Ignoring small numbers for too long: What difference will it make if I save $100 a month? Well over a long period it could make you a millionaire! So start early and invest wisely. It will make you rich. That is the power of compounding.
13. Urgent vs important: Most expenses, which look urgent, are perhaps not so important - the shirt or shoe at a sale. That luxury item which was being offered at 30% discount is such an example. These small leakages are all reducing the amount of money you will have for the bigger things like education or retirement.
14. Focusing too much on money: Money is no longer a commodity to buy things. It is a scorecard of one`s life. That will cause stress, and yoga might help. However if you will seek a branded yoga teacher - so that your friends think you have arrived, yoga it self could cause financial stress!
