We try not to do it.<\/p>\n

But sometimes we can’t help it.<\/p>\n

We get distracted.<\/p>\n

But from time to time news stories flash before our eyes that remind us where we should focus our attention.<\/p>\n

It’s not on Russia, or Ukraine, or central bank money printing. It’s on the latest discoveries that could actually mean something – such as research from the US that one cosmologist says could be ‘the Holy Grail of cosmology.<\/em>‘<\/p>\n

That’s big…<\/p>\n

Our old buddy Dan Denning sent us a link to the news report yesterday. He included the simple comment that, ‘This looks like it could be huge news.<\/em>‘<\/p>\n

So, what was the news?<\/p>\n

According to the Guardian<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\n

‘There is intense speculation among cosmologist that a US team is on the verge of confirming they have detected “primordial gravitational waves” – an echo of the big bang in which the universe came into existence 14bn years ago.<\/em><\/p>\n

‘Gravitational waves are the last untested prediction of Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. They are miniscule ripples in the fabric of the universe that carry energy across space, somewhat similar to waves crossing an ocean…<\/em><\/p>\n

‘The discovery of gravitational waves from the big bang would offer scientists their first glimpse of how the universe was born.<\/em>‘<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Dan was right. That is big news. And yet most folks tend to ignore this type of news.<\/p>\n

Forget Crimea, This Could Change Lives<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

But what do ‘primordial gravitational waves<\/em>‘ have to do with stock markets<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Nothing really.<\/p>\n

We’re simply making a point that however important things may seem on face value (Russia and Ukraine, or a Chinese solar power firm defaulting on debt repayments) they usually aren’t that important when you put it in perspective.<\/p>\n

As the report from the Guardian<\/em> shows, scientists could be another step closer to unravelling the mysteries of the universe.<\/p>\n

But that’s not the only thing going on in the world of science. On any given day scientists and entrepreneurs are doing all manner of things to solve problems and improve people’s lives.<\/p>\n

Take for instance the medical breakthrough Sam told Revolutionary Tech Investor<\/em> readers about two weeks ago:<\/p>\n

\n

‘Multiple Sclerosis is a neurological disease, which affects the central nervous system. Approximately two million people worldwide have been diagnosed with MS.<\/em><\/p>\n

‘As it stands there is no known cure, in part because of the complexity of the disease.<\/em><\/p>\n

‘What happens in MS sufferers is the body’s own immune system begins to attack the central nervous system. In effect the body turns on itself. This in turn leads to inflammation of the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves.<\/em><\/p>\n

‘The result from this self-attack is damaged nerves.<\/em>‘<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The good news is there’s a tiny biotech firm doing its darnedest to find a treatment and cure…and it may have found it in the most unlikely of places<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We don’t know about you. But in our view that’s<\/u><\/em> important. That’s the kind of breakthrough that can change lives for the better. But it’s also the kind of information investors can use to make informed decisions on whether to support the company and its plans.<\/p>\n

This is Speculating not Trading<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

We’ll make that clear.<\/p>\n

When you invest in speculative and revolutionary stocks<\/strong> you’re actually investing in the company.<\/p>\n

This isn’t like trading where you don’t care what the company does. Most traders couldn’t care less about the stock. All they care about is the three digit stock code and how the lines shape up on the chart.<\/p>\n

Speculating on tiny revolutionary stocks is different. You’re investing in the company – financially and mentally. You can’t just throw a few bucks at these things based on the charts.<\/p>\n

You need to understand what the company is doing and how it plans to do it. You need to have confidence in the company. And importantly, you need to have the stomach to back it with cash.<\/p>\n

It’s a simple fact of this type of investing that small-cap revolutionary companies <\/strong> will need to raise extra capital from investors. Some investors don’t like them doing that.<\/p>\n

To us that’s a crazy attitude. Companies at this end of the market need to raise capital in order to finance their projects. The beauty of it is that it gives you the opportunity to invest directly in the company.<\/p>\n

Rather than just buying your shares from another investor, you get to write a cheque or transfer money straight to the company when it raises capital. In return you get extra shares in the company.<\/p>\n

That’s an uplifting feeling. You know that your hundreds or thousands of dollars are going straight to the company so it can develop and potentially market its life-changing drug or treatment.<\/p>\n

Not only that, but you get the potential to make big double-, triple-, or even quadruple-digit percentage gains.<\/p>\n

For example, another one of the biotech stocks Sam recommended just seven months ago is up 422.9%. It trades on the ASX too.<\/p>\n

Who says you can’t make money in this market? And to prove it this video -produced urgently – shows how to do it…<\/a><\/p>\n

PS: <\/strong>If you click on this link<\/a> you’ll go through to Sam Volkering’s latest video feature, in which he lays out the high-tech opportunities available to investors today – Sam calls them ‘Moon-Shots’. To be honest, when I first saw the presentation I thought Sam must have shot it from the Moon, the audio quality was so bad! But soon enough I got used to the crackling and the other sound glitches, because the underlying message was so important. You can watch the film here…<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
