Hobo Investing
May 26, 2010
Investing, at its core, is a simple process. You need to determine if the train is going north or south, or just sitting on a track siding doing nothing. Once you’ve found a train going north, you need only to hop aboard. If the train starts to go south, you need to jump off.
The concept is simple, but sometimes investors make the execution more complicated. For us, relative strength and trend following provide the tools and methodology to find the northbound trains. The same tools and methodology can be used to tell you when the switch engine has come along and started to move the train south.
The problems happen when investors deviate from the simple goal-directed hobo mentality and get too clever for their own good. Can you imagine how irrational some investor behavior must look to a hobo? Here are the top six dysfunctional hobo sayings:
1. I wanted to go north, so I hopped on an out-of-favor southbound train, hoping it would go north eventually. (value hobo)
2. I got on a northbound train, but it only went north a few miles. A switch engine came along and started to take my boxcar south. How embarrassing! This train owes me. I’m not getting off. (ego-attached hobo)
3. There are so many trains going north. I want to hop on one eventually, but I’m afraid it will go south right after I get on it. (failure to launch hobo)
4. This northbound train is picking up speed. I’d better get off. (premature ejection hobo)
5. I want to go north, but my train pulled on to a siding and stopped. Maybe I’ll just sit here and see what happens. (buy-and-hold hobo)
6. There are so many trains going north without me. Eventually they will all have to go south, and then I’ll have my revenge! (bitter hobo with economics background)
If you want to go north, get on a northbound train. KISS really applies here. On our good days, we all know this, but it’s so easy to forget.

Herborium Group (HBRM)
Herborium Group, Inc. Focuses on a Lucrative Botanical Therapeutics Market
SADDLE BROOK, NJ -- (Marketwire)
05/28/10
Herborium Group, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: HBRM) (www.herborium.com), a botanical therapeutics® company that develops, licenses and markets all natural, herbal medicinal products, has focused its efforts on developing aggressive routes of taping into $33 billion over the counter alternative medicine market in the USA and over a trillion USD global market for alternative and complementary medicine.
The Company business model focuses on emerging market opportunities spearheaded by the growth of a new market sector located between high-cost, high-risk, ethical pharmaceuticals and commoditized classic nutraceuticals (supplements). The Company uses clinical validation and a proactive regulatory strategy based on the FDA Guidance for Industry: Botanical Drug Products (FDA Guidance 2004) to establish and maintain a differential advantage.
Herborium pipeline of botanical therapeutics in the sectors of dermatology (Acne -- global market is over 55 Billion USD and over 60 million Americans are diagnosed and affected yearly by different forms of acne -- www.acnease.com), women's and men's health, including BPH (benign prostate hyperplasia affects over half of male population at the age of 50+) and liver health, belong to the most growing category of CAM products (self care costs) that reached $22 Billion in the US last year with majority going to purchase of non-vitamin, and non-mineral products.
"With the conversion of such factors as health economics
, directing consumers to spend money on prevention and on non ethical products (lower insurance coverage) and to pharmaceutical companies being forced to remove drugs from the market for safety reasons (La Roche and Accutane for acne or Vioxx for pain), Herborium is ideally positioned to take advantage of those emerging market opportunities," said Dr. Agnes P. Olszewski, President of Herborium Group. "During last four months we have focused our activities on preparing to penetrate new markets with our existing products including targeting of foreign markets. We have signed or are in final stage of negotiating new distribution agreements in the USA and abroad that will greatly increase our customer base. We expect that our bottom line will significantly benefit from those initiatives in 2010 and 2011," continues Dr. Olszewski.
"We are also planning to introduce new and complementary products. We are especially excited about expected product line extension in the field of dermatology with a product targeting acne," adds Dr. Olszewski
"While securing additional resources we plan to address needs of consumers and health providers that look for highly efficient, proven safe and effective all natural alternatives in treatment and prevention of number of health problems and concerns," concludes Dr. Olszewski

Mike Zaman Presents: 63 million Americas are unemployed!
By Mike Zaman
The Labor Department today released figures that challenge the broad based concept of the real unemployment base, in real terms 80.4 percent of the nation’s 78.4 million families had at least one member of the family unemployed in 2009, this challenges the statistics that have been released over the past 12 months. In real terms this amounts to “63 million” unemployed persons in the United States and comprises A REAL 20% unemployment rate.
US LABOR DEPARTMENT
EMPLOYMENT CHARACTERISTICS OF FAMILIES — 2009
The share of families with an unemployed member rose from 7.8 percent in 2008 to 12.0 percent in 2009, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The proportion of families with an unemployed member in 2009 was at its highest level since the data series began in 1994. Of the nation’s 78.4 million families, 80.4 percent had at least one employed member in 2009, down by 1.8 percentage points from 2008.
These data on employment, unemployment, and family relationships are collected as part of the Current Population Survey (CPS), a monthly sample survey of approximately 60,000 households. Families include married-couple families, as well as families maintained by a man or woman with no spouse present.
Families and Unemployment
There were 9.4 million families with at least one unemployed member in 2009, up from 6.1 million in 2008. The proportion of families with an unemployed member was 6.3 percent in 2007; it rose to 7.8 percent in 2008 and to 12.0 percent in 2009.
Black and Hispanic families were more likely to have an unemployed member (17.4 and 16.9 percent, respectively) than were white (11.1 percent) and Asian (11.4 percent) families in 2009. Most families with an unemployed member also have at least one family member who is employed. Among families with an unemployed member in 2009, 68.6 percent also had an employed member, compared with 70.8 per-cent in 2008.
Among married-couple families with an unemployed member in 2009, 79.9 percent had an employed member, down from 82.5 percent in 2008. For families maintained by women (no spouse present) with an unemployed member, the proportion that also contained an employed member was lower in 2009 (46.1 percent) than in 2008 (49.1 percent). For families maintained by men (no spouse present), the proportion fell to 52.6 percent in 2009 from 57.3 percent in 2008.
Families and Employment
The share of families with an employed member was lower in 2009 (80.4 percent) than in 2008 (82.2 percent). The likelihood of having an employed family member declined over the year for families of all major race and ethnicity groups.
In 2009, families maintained by women with no spouse present were less likely to have an employed member (72.8 percent) than were married-couple families (82.4 percent) or families maintained by men with no spouse present (79.8 percent). The share of families with an employed member declined over the year for all family types.
Both the husband and wife were employed in 48.5 percent of married-couple families in 2009, compared with 51.4 percent in 2008. Married-couple families in which only the wife worked accounted for 8.4 percent of all married-couple families in 2009, compared with 6.9 percent in 2008. The husband was the only employed member in 19.6 percent of married-couple families in 2009, essentially unchanged from a year earlier.
Families with Children
Forty-four percent of all families included children (sons, daughters, step-children, and adopted children) under age 18. Among the 34.8 million families with children, 87.8 percent had an employed parent in 2009, down from 90.0 per-cent in 2008. The mother was employed in 67.8 percent of families maintained by women with no spouse present in 2009, and the father was employed in 76.6 percent of those maintained by men with no spouse present. Among married-couple families with children, 95.7 percent had an employed parent in 2009, down from 97.0 percent in 2008. Both the mother and father were employed in 58.9 percent of married-couple families with children in 2009, also lower than a year earlier.
Mothers
The labor force participation rate–the percent of the population working or looking for work–for all mothers with children under 18 was 71.4 percent in 2009, unchanged from 2008. In 2009, the participation rate for married mothers with spouse present (69.6 percent) was lower than the rate for mothers in other marital statuses (75.8 percent). Married mothers were equally as likely to be employed as mothers in other marital statuses, but their unemployment rate was substantially lower–5.8 percent in 2009, compared with 13.6 percent for mothers in other marital statuses. Unemployment rates increased in 2009 for mothers of all marital statuses.
Mothers with younger children are less likely to be in the labor force than mothers with older children. In 2009, the labor force participation rate of mothers with children under 6 years old (64.2 percent) was lower than the rate of those whose youngest child was 6 to 17 years old (77.3 percent). The participation rate of mothers with infants under a year old was 56.6 percent. The participation rate of married mothers of infants (56.1 percent) was slightly lower than for those with other marital statuses (57.8 percent). However, the unemployment rate for married mothers of infants, at 7.0 percent, was significantly lower than the rate for mothers with other marital statuses (22.3 percent).
Petroleum Reserves Compiled for Nitro's Montana Big Horn Prospect
Petroleum Reserves Compiled for Nitro's Montana Big Horn Prospect
TULSA, OKLAHOMA -- (Marketwire)
05/26/10
James Borem, President of Nitro (OTCBB: NTRO) confirmed today that the Company has received a reserve calculation of oil and natural gas estimated for the Big Horn project in the State of Montana. The reservoir engineering firm of Ramsey Property Management LLC of Oklahoma City were contracted by Nitro to evaluate the potential petroleum reserves. Ramsey has reported the following initial calculation indicators: 93,900 barrels of high gravity crude oil, 236,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas. Nitro petroleum maintains a 25% working interest in a 1600 acre lease. Drilling regulations provide for a possible ten well drilling program on this lease. James Borem advises that Nitro is currently in negotiation with potential JV partners to prospect the first well. The target reservoir is the Tensleep geology believed to lay at a 7300 foot depth. This well will be featured as an exploration target although a Lodge Grass offset drilled one half section to the east has produced in excess of 286,000 barrels and continues to produce approximately 40 barrels per day without stimulation. Nitro's President comments that this is an exceptional opportunity for a Junior Resource Company to access a potential oil and gas property in a highly competitive market for primary locations.05/26/10

Lake Victoria Plans Detailed Exploration
In preparation for drill targeting and the mobilization of a drill rig to Singida-Londoni Gold Project, detailed exploration work will begin shortly. This will maximize any dollars that may soon be spent on planning and implementation of an initial drill program on a pathway to a proven resource or gold production. Lake Victoria wishes to elaborate on the exploration works required at their Singida-Londoni project in central Tanzania.
At Singida-Londoni gold project, artisanal mining has been focused on a number of outcropping narrow gold-bearing quartz veins that strike for a length of +7km within a major northwest-southeast shear belt. These veins occur as boudins forming "pinch and swell" structures along strike within the shear zone. The shear zone has an average width of 1.4km. Electrical gradient array IP surveys (News Release 17 May 2010) indicated that a number of subsurface resistive bodies, thought to represent quartz veins, occur beneath the land surface covering some 400m width of the shear zone and as such would not have been identified by the artisanal miners. In such greenstone belts, the gold bearing quartz veins often occur as en echelon "packages" or "ladder vein sets" that may be formed within or discordant to the shear fabric. These sets often exhibit plunges or "ore shoots" and needed to be accounted for in creating the geological model and incorporated within any subsequent drill program.
In order to understand the overall distribution of subsurface gold bearing quartz veins, a soil sampling program has been designed on 400m spaced north-south sections with a sample interval of 50m to define the concentration of gold in the overlying soils. Sampling is to commence in the northwest corner of the licence in early June 2010, where a number of small scale mining licences (PMLs) are currently under exclusive option to LVCA, and continue across to the southeast corner of the project. A total of 700 samples will be initially collected and assayed for gold by Aqua Regia Digest Solvent Extraction at the SGS Laboratory in Mwanza.
The sampling program, consisting of 14 traverses amounting to 33.8 line-km, is expected to be completed by the end of the 2nd to 3rd week of June. However, samples will be submitted to the laboratory on a weekly basis and results should start to be made available by mid-June. Results are expected to indicate the presence of a number of gold-in-soil anomalies which would suggest the existence of subsurface gold bearing quartz veins and which in turn may be found to correlate with the IP anomalies. Once all the results of the program have been received, the geochemical data can be reviewed in its entirety and the implementation of the follow-up infill soil sampling can immediately begin across selected areas of the project. Currently this is planned on a 200m spaced section across the gold anomalies with the aim of further defining the concentration of gold anomalism. An additional 150 samples are expected to complete this phase of soil sampling by the end of June with results being available towards mid-July.
Mapping of the regolith, topography and soils form an integral part of the program in order to later understand the value of the soil result.
During the 1st phase of regional soil sampling, detailed mapping and channel sampling of the sidewalls of some of the artisanal pits will be undertaken in an attempt to understand the nature and structural controls of the gold bearing quartz veins. This will be further assisted by undertaking a number of short trenches of 1m wide by +10m in length, especially along strike from the mined quartz veins to determine the extend or "halo" of gold mineralization within the sheared rocks.
Once an assessment of the results of the soil geochemical sampling program has been made, trenching would be undertaken across the "eyes" of the anomalies along the north-south sections in order to further define the nature and cause of the soil anomaly as well as provide an in situ surface value of gold concentration. A total of 500 meters of trenching has been budgeted to fulfil this phase of exploration and will take 1 to 2 weeks to complete. The information, derived from detailed mapping of the trench walls, will provide invaluable insights into the geology and structure that host the gold mineralization, and in turn will contribute to the building of the geological model.
Depending upon the thickness of the overlying soils, trench depths will vary between 1 to 3m and may be up to 50 to 100m in length, especially if the results of infill soil sampling reflect a wide surface anomaly. Where saprolite is present beneath the soil or laterite cover, trench depths will commonly extend to 3m.
Although the in-situ rocks are often decomposed within the saprolite horizon, the structural imprint is often well preserved and is measurable. Horizontal channel samples of 2m will be collected along the sidewall just above the base of the trench and submitted for Fire Assay analysis at SGS Laboratory, Mwanza.
All these work results could later be incorporated into an ore resource calculation should it be found from subsequent drilling that a resource is present, with the aim of establishing an initial inferred resource that would be acceptable within the guidelines of the CIM 43-101 reporting practises.
Positive drill results will represent an important milestone for Lake Victoria on the path towards a proven resource or gold production.

Lake Victoria Mng CO (LVCA)
Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. (OTCBB: LVCA) - The aim of the current exploration program is to determine the potential for undiscovered, subsurface gold vein sets within the sheared package of metavolcanic rocks proximal to the known gold veins, at Singida Gold Project in order to determine an economic resource prior to drill planning.
This Preliminary exploration work is a necessity prior to the Company advancing the project towards a drilling program. The ground work is to be focused on:
-- obtaining a better understanding of the geology, the structural
complexity and the distribution of the known gold bearing quartz veins
within the shear zone, and
-- to highlight areas of increased gold anomalism through soil sampling.
This approach is aimed at optimising gold targets in order that a cost efficient and systematic drill programme can be planned.
Previously completed and announced ground magnetic and IP surveys undertaken by Lake Victoria Resources have greatly assisted in defining some of the geological and structural features in the area.
Artisanal mining at Singida-Londoni has been focused on a number of narrow gold-rich quartz veins that are located within a major NW-SE trending shear zone. These veins "pinch and swell" along strike within the shear zone for a distance of some 7km. Some of the exposed veins on the Singida-Londoni licenses held by Lake Victoria Mining Company, that cover a strike length of 4.8 km, have been mined by artisanal miners in their upper parts to depths of about 50m. In the northwestern part of the shear structure, approximately 6 km from the Singida-Londoni licenses, Shanta Gold Ltd has announced a resource of 1,031,926 oz of gold at a grade of 1.46 g/t on their Singida License.
The Singida-Londoni Pre- Drill Exploration program will include:
Phase 1:
-- soil sampling on 400m x 50m grid with selected infill sampling, across
the shear zone
-- wall rock sampling of existing pits and artisanal workings in order to
determine the gold values within the sheared sidewall rocks adjacent to
the gold bearing quartz veins
-- trenching across the strike of the quartz veins within undisturbed
ground between areas of previous artisanal working to test the extent of
the mineralization along strike.
-- detailed geological and structural mapping of surface outcrop, trench
and pit exposures
Phase 2
-- Follow-up trenching/pitting on any coherent soil anomalies.
-- Interim results will be reported as they become available.
-- Upon confirmation of the existence of undiscovered, subsurface gold
bearing quartz veins, a follow-up drilling program will be planned and
initiated.
During Phase 1 and 2, the planning of exploration programs on prioritized targets within the license portfolio of Lake Victoria Mining Company will commence and be on-going.
