Laguna Blends, Inc. (CSE: LAG) (OTC: LAGBF) (LB6A.F) Capitalizing on Rising Demand for Functional Beverages

According to an article entitled ‘Soda Consumption Falls to 30-Year Low In The U.S.’ (http://nnw.fm/2T0y1), the demand for diet sodas in the U.S. has slumped to an all-time low over the past 11 years.

Palatin Technologies (PTN) Continues the Sexual Revolution

It will soon be 50 years since the publication of Dr. David Reuben’s Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Sex: But Were Afraid to Ask had its profoundly liberalizing effect on our attitudes toward sex. The best seller helped bring the discussion on sexual behavior out of the bedroom and into other, more public forums. Its timing was opportune. In 1969, when it made its first appearance, America was already in the throes of a ‘sexual revolution’. Reuben’s opus aligned with the emerging anti-Puritanical thinking that sexual desire was not something to be ashamed of. However, despite raising awareness…

BlackBerry (BBRY) Shoring Up Footing in Mobile Security as SecuTABLET Embraced by German Government

These days people just read the headlines and often leave the penetrating analysis/due diligence to their financial advisors. This is what we call dumb money - but the momentum of dumb money can partially capsize even a large and viable company in its wake, irrespective of how brilliant said company’s in-house engineering people are. For instance, many people still think that BlackBerry (NASDAQ: BBRY) is just another smartphone company which is forced to compete with the likes of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Samsung (OTC: SSNLF) for market share in order to exist (a narrative which has helped destroy BlackBerry’s share…
