Parent Company of Sub Surface Waste Management (SSWM.OB) Renews Green Focus in Response to Earth Day

U.S. Microbics, Inc., (OTCBB:BUGS.OB), reported that it is redefining its mission in response to the demand for different environmental products and services engendered by the new Green Awakening movement around the world. Earth Day was founded as a catalyst for environmental education, action and change which crosses all economic and social sectors, states and countries and incorporates the collective efforts of all participants. Al Gore's movie, "An Inconvenient Truth", served as a wakeup call for environmental awareness for the masses. U.S. Microbics' philosophy of eliminating environmental problems, rather than only treating symptoms, was heard loud and clear by Mexico's political…

New Market Stimulator Proves Trading is More than a Game

Everybody has that one trader or broker friend who tells them the stock market is “just a game.” Well, he’s right – at least in that regard. Canada-based Neutron Enterprises recently published an online stock market simulator named Wall Street Survivor, www.wallstreetsurvivor.com. Even though it’s still in its Beta phase, the surprisingly well-polished and highly professional simulator not only gives its users a chance to play the trades without risking their money, but to get a chance at a large cash prize. The game is fairly simple; each new trader starts off with a $100,000 “fantasy portfolio” they can invest…

AstraZeneca (AZN) and MedImmune (MEDI) Acquisition Spur Confusion

Shares of AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN) fell more than 5 percent to $55.77 as MedImmune (NASDAQ: MEDI) shares jumped 18 percent to $56.59 on word AstraZeneca will acquire the vaccine and cancer-therapy developer. According to some analysts, $15.2 billion, or $58 in cash per share is just too much. The price offered per share is a 53 percent premium over MedImmune’s closing price just before it announced it would soon be on the market, and is quite a bit more than the $38 to $44 price some analysts expected. The deal is good for MedImmune shareholders but causes some analysts confusion.…

Nigerian Election Raises Oil Prices

According to recent Reuters reports, Umaru Yar’Adua of the ruling People’s Democratic Party won the Saturday election with 24,638,063 votes – a definite win over his nearest rival, Muhammadu Buhari of the All Nigeria People’s Party, who only pulled in 6,605,299 votes. Unfortunately, the elections were far from perfect, riddled with ballot-stuffing, violence, and a short of millions of voting papers. In fact, the week before the Nigerian elections was a bloody, chaotic massacre; at least 49 people died in election-related violence since April 14. “Our elections could not have been said to have been perfect,” former Nigerian President Olusegen…
