Investing in solar power, at home…
July 19, 2009
While surfing my favorite hunting forum I saw an advertisement for “Power 4 Home” Being the tool that I am, I clicked on the advertisement for the owners of the hunting forum.
The web site I was directed to was http://www.power4home.com
It was very intresting to read and I actually wanted to wip out my credit card and order the info package. But I figure I’ll do some research first. We have this thing called the internet, I think a guy named Al Gore invented it….. We can find out everything we ever wanted on the internet. So its time to start looking for some DIY power…..Solar and wind for the home that I can do myself.
Not only can we power up our own power plants, we can invest in those companies that make up the alternative energy needs that we need.
So I’ll be looking for not only ways to power my own power, I’ll be looking for opertunities to power up my 401K

July 8, 2009
Last week I was talking about investing in things you know, like your hunting equipment. Well I read this news release from Bass Pro about families with kids that go camping. The outdoor market has alot of companies who share our passion for the great outdoors. Some people know that the fishing and camping industry offers alot more to the investor then the hunting market. Can you name one of the biggest companies you can think of when it comes to camping gear?
Was is Colmen? Can you name some of the biggest retailors who sell the gear? Wal-Mart or Bass Pro maybe. Check out the press release from Bass Pro below. As an investor, you make find it intresting. I did and maybe we can look further into the manufacturing and retail sides of camping
