PIR & SIRI & Great Results from GOD (a brief timeline of 2005-2010)

Well, let it be known and I mean KNOWN that I am truly considering doing some serious investing now. AND that I want to give a short timeline of the last year’s investments and what GOD has done for us from 2004-2010 while we have been planting the Tapestry and working bi-vocationally.

QUICK TIMELINE:

1 – Lori and I decided NOT to buy a house in 2004 & 2005 because I sensed that the market was being inflated by speculation and that debt was creating bubbled prices. I actually began telling all my friends NOT TO BUY. (The Realtor at the time told me that we would regret not buying the house that ended up later being worth 1/2 what it was selling for that day! I told her GOD could do anything! We left that Realtor and walked away.)
2 – We totally got all of our invested money out of the market and went to cash in 2007 with all Lori and my investments. I just had a gut feeling and I had no peace to move in the market from my prayer times.
3 – We then sat on our cash until Fall 2008 after the market crashed and I began to pick up hammered down stock.
4 – We closed on a house for a 41% rebate on the price! And moved in January 9-10. (Our Realtor said we couldn’t get one that cheap, yet she was faithful through our insane bids.
5 – We went all in to the market on March 9-11 because I had a sense GOD was leading me.
6 – I picked up SIRI the night before they were to go bankrupt at ~.08 a share.
7 – I picked up PIR when it went down to ~.11 a share.
8 – I have been selling to cover my investments and making huge profits and have been reinvesting in strong, safe, companies. I set the triggers and when they hit my target prices, I sell and reinvest. I have simply prayed and moved slowly.

Due to this, Lori and I have now invested 10’s of thousands into others this year, we have helped people with debt, we have invested in ministries and non-profit work, we have given to invest in startup companies of people we mentor in order to give them a start and teach them how to become socially responsible.

And the kicker is that no matter how much we give, the LORD outgives US! We keep coming back in awe. Those thousands of shares of PIR for .11 are now worth 7.10 today!

You can check out my earlier posts here where I was sharing my steps. Just research from 2008-2009. You can see that I really did do what I am saying here. The blog time-stamped it all.

Folks, ONLY GOD does this! I am just a simple, obedient guy. And I love helping others with wise moves and tough accounting and discipleship. And this has truly given me a catch up for my retirement that I was behind on due to ministry in the church AND funds to help the world.

So, side-note, don’t contact me with your project unless you have already started it, you have it running and you are working hard on it yourself. THEN, if you have stuff to prove what you’re doing, I might be inclined to do some micro-lending (with much prayer and discipleship) and see where it takes you!

I will fill everyone in later on some of the successes we are seeing in our projects worldwide.

Just a praise today!
Blessings!

Getting Serious About Sirius!

All of a sudden, the one stock I was warned NOT TO BUY is becoming a possible choice for the rebound. Well, I am so VERY glad that I didn’t listen to the critics and I actually bought SIRI the night before they were saved from bankruptcy for just pennies a share, because right now, I am already sitting on top of an almost 600% gain. I bought hundreds of dollars worth that now is thousands of dollars worth.

However, hear me in this. I have not been stupid. I have already sold some and reinvested my original funds. This is now fun for growth.

So, I don’t know just how high this stock will go, but if the guys below at Breaking Views, Fortune and CNN are correct, which they just might be, then the price tag of $0.45 might be a real steal.

Just check it out. Read on…

breakingviews: Sirius XM – The best play on an auto rebound – Jun. 30, 2009

U.S. car sales are in a ridiculous funk. Even with a strong June, the current annualized rate of about 10 million vehicles isn’t enough to compensate for scrapped cars and population growth. Yet the best investment play on an American recovery may not be a car or parts maker. Curiously, it may be Sirius XM Radio, which operates the radio in the dashboard.

This is partly a process of elimination. Two of Detroit’s Big Three — Chrysler and General Motors (GMGMQ) — are in bankruptcy. Ford Motor (F, Fortune 500) is, of course, an option. But some 40% of Ford’s sales come outside the U.S., so it’s not a pure play on the domestic market. True, there are parts companies uniquely focused on the U.S. market. But given the serious margin pressures they face from bankrupt carmakers and rivals they look like very risky investments.

July; What Microsoft, Apple, Harry Potter, Bank of America, GE, and Sirius Has in Common…

For all of you guys who are following details on cars and the auto industry, for you guys who love the latest new Harry Potter movie, for you Microsoft fans and if you like GE, BAC and/or C, July is the MONTH FOR YOU! This month, there is a ton of stuff going on. So, I added this article here from Motley Fool. Check it out!

4 Dates to Circle in July (BAC, C, GE, MSFT, SIRI, TWX)

Here are a few of the days that I plan to approach with eyes wide open.

July 11
If you’re hoping for a cheap — and legal — copy of Microsoft’s (Nasdaq: MSFT) upcoming operating system, this is your last day to pre-order a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium as an upgrade for Vista and XP users for just $49. Microsoft’s promising platform will hit the market with a suggested retail price of $119 in the fall.

A lot is riding on Windows 7. Vista has been the butt of operating-system jokes, especially in Apple’s (Nasdaq: AAPL) effective “I’m a Mac” ads. Fans of Vista will argue that the knocks have been unfair, but all sides can agree that Windows 7 is Microsoft’s best chance to matter in a future that threatens to make operating systems less important in a future more focused on cloud computing.

It’s a good sign for Microsoft that the pre-orders — at least so far — have been selling briskly.

July 15
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince becomes Time Warner’s (NYSE: TWX) latest installment in the blockbuster series to hit a multiplex near you. It’s also the first theatrical release since author J.K. Rowling completed the seven-book series. Will that heighten or diminish interest in the movie series as Time Warner milks the last two books into three cinematic experiences?

Box-office receipts are trending ahead of where they were a year ago, so momentum is on Time Warner’s side. However, there’s also a busy slate of rival flicks hitting exhibitors this summer. Can Harry Potter’s spell over audiences continue?

July 17
Fridays are typically sleepy days on the news front. Few companies want to test shareholders’ mettle by delivering quarterly reports heading into the weekend. However, three meaty stocks with plenty to prove — Bank of America (NYSE: BAC), Citigroup (NYSE: C), and General Electric (NYSE: GE) — will all be stepping up to the podium on July 17.

All three stocks started out the year as Dow components, until Citigroup was booted last month. They have a few other things in common:

* They were all trading in the single digits before the March rally kicked in.
* They have all sharply slashed their dividends over the past year.
* They have more than doubled off their lows, placing even more pressure for the companies to earn their recent gains in two weeks.

July 29
The last thing that Sirius XM Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI) subscribers expect is a rate increase. The merger between Sirius and XM was based on an agreement that rates would be frozen for a couple of years.

However, that didn’t stop Sirius XM from bumping up its rates on discounted secondary receivers in the same family in March. It also began charging for online streaming, which in Sirius XM’s defense was accompanied by an upgrade in the quality of its Web-based offering.

Sirius XM is allowed to make these adjustments. It’s also entitled to pass along on any music royalty fee increases — and it will do just that when monthly rates go up by $1.98 on July 29.

That increase is going to become a huge test for the satellite-radio operator. Subscriber growth peaked during last year’s fourth quarter, when Sirius XM watched over more than 19 million receivers. It closed out the March quarter with just 18.6 million subscribers.

Will the July increase shake out even more subscribers, or will it be a cash flow dream as fans pony up for long-term commitments to lock in the current rates?

Things can cut either way, so join me in making sure you’re wide awake this month.
