Editor-In-Chief: "We're Hosting An Emergency Panel Discussion & We're Seeking Wisdom For The Future"
Tired of running on empty??

On November 5th, 2008, the day after the citizens of the United States unite to elect our next leader, the Eco Investment Club will hold a traditional club chapter meeting and broadcast the meeting in worldwide webinar to discuss the real question... What's Next?? Even the soon-to-be-third-term, New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg put "the situation" into words so eloquently for the October 25th, 2008 Issue of NewsWeek, when he addressed a letter TO: the President - elect RE: the economy, which so poignantly opens to the stark realities of: "The stock market has plummeted. The credit markets are frozen. Unemployment is rising. Housing foreclosures are skyrocketing. Consumer spending is weakening. Manufacturers are cutting production. A global recession is in the offing. Welcome to the White House, 44. You're sure you wanted the job, right?" Well we can't wait to find out - "What's Next?" - after Inauguration Day. We have questions today that need answering and the Eco Investment Club aims to deliver with...

"Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom." - Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834 - 1892)

 

See What People Are Asking The Panel (Unedited):

Will a Green Economy rebound faster from financial turmoil? All the blogs are taking but where's the action! Will the current banking chaos reduce innovation in the green tech sector such as solar panels and hydrogen cars? And Is there a new green technology that the media is not talking about due to the elections that would have been developed sooner had the current financial crisis not taken place?

Will consumers stick with Green during tough times?

What do you think Google's Next Big Green pick will be?

Should we be more scared of Palin 2012 or Global Warming?

What is the next administration really facing that's not being talked about in the media?

Are non green companies still jump on board the the Green Wave or are the jumping ship?

Are there any studies or signs the green food companies are profitable and appealing to large non-green companies that want to acquire them?

Are there any academically validated theories on how to pick stocks, startup stocks in particular?

Is high nonrenewable prices the only way to reach the point where we significantly shift to renewable energy?? Or are we toast??

What Does Economic Populism Mean For The Green Economy?

Bottom line: Does America need a energy technology bubble just like the information technology bubble?

1st) Has Goldman Sachs' strategy to support "Sustainability" help them weather the storm and avoid collapse, and 2nd) Warren Buffet isn't stupid, So has Smart Money finally gotten wise to the writing on the wall (street) and make large large bets on those that are betting on Green? 3rd) Who's the next Billionaire to money the money??

Is Thomas Friedman the prime leading indicator of the conventional wisdom for this new Economy??

T. Boone promises the largest transfer of wealth in history... Is he right or full of oil?

Will toyota and honda bury the big 3? and will Tesla, Fisker, Aptera become the next big 3?

Is investment in Renewable Energy too risky right now because of low oil prices?

Does Carbon Regulation cause real job creation?

63% of Americans claim they believe that tackling climate change will benefit the economy (despite the crisis on Wall Street), according to new consumer research. Do any of you believe this??

I have a friend who lost 300K in WaMu bonds... What can we all do to save ourselves from losing everything?

Are IPO's a death sentence or what?

Will so-called angel investors follow the smart money and put their own funds (in new record amounts) into the youngest of companies -- including outfits that are pursuing the most innovative, but not yet commercially viable, approaches to serious problems of global warming? Or will this kind of seed-stage investing that traditional venture funds have largely abandoned, jump ship, run and hide because they're scared?
