GT5 GreenCell Technologies on Hydrocell

The HydroCell produces Hydrogen Gas, on demand, and adds it to the air drawn into a diesel engine. This small quantity of Hydrogen has large effects on the combustion process.
GreenCell Technologies Inc  is a Canadian company dedicated to designing and bringing to market, technology-based products in the alternative energy market. The current product is called the HydroCell, an on-board on-demand hydrogen generator engineered specifically for Diesel Transport Trucks.
GT5 GreenCell Technologies on Hydrocell: The result is approximately 10% fuel savings and up to a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (nitrous oxides, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide).
GreenCell Tek is also involved in the Solar Energy market. We are currently conducting research and developing strategies to open an alternative energy division that will offer product, consultation and installation services for the Canadian market.
The HYDROCELL system is a safe and reliable product designed exclusively for the Diesel Transport Truck market. The HYDROCELL draws only 25 Amps from the vehicles 12 Volt system and generates enough hydrogen through-out the entire RPM range to enhance combustion.
GreenCell Technologies’s advanced feedback system monitors several conditions and adjusts the electrolysis process, to provide safe and efficient production of Hydrogen gas. The system was designed to operate in a temperature range of -40 to +60C and has an in-cab indicator to show system status. Installation requires no modification to the engine and does not affect the manufacturer’s warranty. The only maintenance needed is the addition of distilled water every 250 hours of operation.
It has been proven in validated tests that adding Hydrogen to fuel in an internal combustion engine will increase the flame speed. At various RPM’s the fuel that is present in the cylinder is not completely burned during the combustion cycle due to the flame speed of petroleum based fuels and the amount of time the combustion cycle is allowed, due to engine speed and load. The addition of Hydrogen gas increases that flame speed and allows for all the fuel in the cylinder to be burned during each combustion cycle. This increases the power produced during that cycle which results in a net savings in fuel use of 10% on average. Greenhouse Gas emissions are also reduced significantly as the major cause of those emissions is un-burnt fuel in the exhaust.
GT5 GreenCell Technologies on Hydrocell: Average of 10% Fuel Savings, Produces Hydrogen on demand, Operates only when engine is running , Low Maintenance – requires water every 200 operating hours and Fail-Safe design – stores no Hydrogen.
Solar Energy. GT5 GreenCell Technologies is currently conducting research and developing strategies to manufacture Solar Photovoltaic (PV) products and bring them to market. The Solar Energy market is being driven by government incentives including significant rebates and power buy-back contracts. These incentives have fueled a growth of the PV markets in Canada, which have been averaging 26% annually since 1993, and about 36% annually since 2000.

GT5 GreenCell Develops New Wireless Product to Complement HydroCell™ unit

 For Immediate Release:

November 9, 2010

(Toronto) – GreenCell Technologies Inc. is pleased to announce the successful development and forthcoming release of a new product to complement its HydroCell™ unit.  Based on recent feedback from long-haul truckers, the GreenCell research team has now designed a wireless status indicator that will be manufactured and sold as a package in tandem with its popular Hydrogen Enrichment System.

The innovative device simply plugs into the cigarette lighter on the dashboard and instantly indicates the current status of the HydroCell™ and its present operating condition. The driver will instantly be aware if the HydroCell™ is in need of water and can rectify the condition which will minimize downtime. 

The HydroCell™ requires the addition of water every 40 - 50 hours of operation and will shut down and not generate Hydrogen if allowed to run dry. This device will ensure maximum fuel savings by eliminating downtime due to lack of water.  HydroCell™ has exceeded expectations and is typically doubling hydrogen output and increasing fuel efficiencies for transportation companies and independent drivers alike.

Hydrogen, as a fuel, is emission free and the only by-product of combustion is water.  It is the most abundant element in the universe and is the fuel of choice for the Space Shuttle’s main engine. 

To assure continued fuel savings, the HydroCell™ is always tested for performance, efficiency, reliability and hydrogen output on numerous vehicles, to enhance its core design and help refine the product specifications for engineers.  In addition to recent discoveries, GreenCell is also conducting extensive lab tests to establish the most efficient electrolyte mixture and the optimal Anode to Cathode distance for maximum hydrogen production.  These tests will lead to new modifications to increase hydrogen output, boost fuel efficiency overall and reduce manufacturing costs. 

The HydroCell™ is an electrolysis-based on-demand Hydrogen generator designed specifically for the transport industry. The product draws a small amount of power from the vehicles electrical system and uses it to produce Hydrogen gas from a water-based solution. The HydroCell™ directs the produced Hydrogen gas to the intake of the vehicles engine where it acts as a catalyst during the normal combustion cycle. This creates more power and fewer emissions, burning only the existing fuel in the cylinder, resulting simply in less fuel being required to operate the vehicle.

GT5 GreenCell Technologies Inc. is a Canadian company, dedicated to designing and bringing to market technology-based products for the transportation and energy industries.

China, Brazil, and India have all offered higher returns during bulls markets then the U.S. stock indexes over the past decade for instance. While these markets can be played with ETF's, there are several key shares that must be purchased using offshore investing houses.
Some of the key advantages of offshore investing within an alternative investment framework include:
Higher potential returns than the domestic market
Much broader range of stocks to choose from
Often better pricing than domestic ETF's.
Early availability of smaller capitalized issues
Protection against single market dependence in real estate, stocks, weather effects, political effects, and currency devaluations

Walter Parker Group's Closer Look At China's Economy

 NEW YORK, NY, March 02, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- China's Economy: China ran its first monthly trade deficit in six years in March.

Walter Parker Group is specifically designed to provide value orientated services in the areas of strategic planning, business development, and mergers and acquisitions. We assist our clients in building equity by improving the effectiveness and efficiencies of their organizations.

With imports of commodities surging in February, China swung to a trade deficit of $7.24 billion in March from a surplus of $7.61 billion in February. The cumulative trade surplus for the first quarter of 2010 was down 77% from a year earlier, to $14.49 billion.

In a parallel move, which will have a far reaching impact on the yuan is that China is encouraging exporters to invoice in the renminbi and is setting up systems to allow trade payments in renminbi.

Walter Parker Group's Closer Look At China's Economy: New trade corridors may soon require new means of payment. When the Chinese and Brazilian Presidents met last year they agreed to use their own currencies to settle more of their bilateral trade, rather than invoicing in dollars.

Hong Kong is the main beneficiary of this policy as the renminbi gains acceptance abroad. It has the natural advantage of a renminbi deposit base, well-established trade links with China and a head-start in developing
renminbi financial products.

Since February, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has made it easier for its banks to process trade transactions in renminbi, to develop renminbi based financial products such as bonds, and to extend loans to and take deposits from local companies in renminbi.

China's stock market regulator has allowed select investors to trade equity-based derivatives in their home market. The introduction of index futures is part of a broader transformation of the mainland stock markets this year: short selling and margin trading were introduced on a trial basis on March 31.

Index futures investors must pass an examination and meet tough criteria for educational background, credit history, monthly salary and liquid assets. Initial response to index futures has been overwhelming. To attract more foreign direct investment, China revamped its regulations to improve conditions for foreign companies while restricting funding for environmentally-unsound projects.

Under the new rules, FDI in high-tech industries, services sector, energy-efficient and environmental protection projects is encouraged, especially in the central and western regions. Qualified foreign-funded companies will also be allowed to go public, issue corporate bonds or medium-term bills in China.

These regulations come as FDI flow rose to $23.44 billion in the first quarter of 2010 bucking the downturn during the past eight months. China's foreign exchange reserves hit a new high of US$2.4471 trillion by the end of March, up 25.25% year on year, according to the People's Bank of China.

Legendary investor Warren Buffett, among others, is notorious for telling investors to buy what they know. Basically, Buffett and his enthusiastic followers suggest investing in companies that you really understand or at least know enough about them to be able to explain how they make money - i.e. the company's business model. Though it's certainly not without merit, buying what you know is not necessarily an investment strategy that will yield the most investing success. Here we explore some of these limitations and suggest that investors might really be better served by buying what they can learn.
Many new investors will find it difficult to delve into the business models or 10-k statements of publicly traded companies for some obvious reasons, the most important being time and/or lack of knowledge. Not many of us can listen consistently to companies' earnings calls and even if we could, we might not really appreciate what is being discussed. Truly understanding a company's balance sheet and overall financial direction requires specialized knowledge that most investors do not immediately possess. There are, however, many online resources that can help shorten the learning curve on gaining knowledge about a company you own or have intentions of buying.
A pitfall in just investing in companies that you are comfortable with is the opportunity cost of not owning companies not as prominent. Most investors know that Exxon Mobil sells gasoline and that Johnson and Johnson make a variety of pharmaceutical and health and beauty products. A valid argument can be made that this companies bring predictability and help mitigate risk in one's portfolio; however, the fact remains that the biggest gains from stocks typically come from companies in the earlier phases of growth instead of the latter phases.
Typically, big well known companies cannot grow at the pace they did when they first became publicly traded. So then the idea is to learn about these companies before they experience their biggest growth and consequently their most explosive stock price appreciation. Cisco Systems and Microsoft are two of the most recognized technology companies on the planet. Microsoft went public in the '80s. Back then, not many people really understood "Windows" or "email," which have become essential and necessary in everyone's lives. In the early '90s, who knew what the internet was, much less that it would eventually be used without wires and in conjunction with routers? Cisco systems certainly did, and learning conceptually about this company and pulling the trigger would have earned huge returns on an investment. There are also online sites that help navigate thru some of the most recent companies and potential high growth stocks. No one should go out and invest solely into small, growing companies or recent IPOs, but learning about these companies could make you a more balanced investor.

Another tenet of investing purists is the utmost importance placed on fundamental analysis. Metrics such as forward price-to-earnings ratios, book value, price-to-earnings growth rates and free cash flow are just a few of the many data points used to determine if a stock is worth owning. Most of this analysis is based on assumptions at least one year into the future. Using these metrics, fundamentalists and analysts try to peg a "target" price one year into the future.
Instead of trying to figure out what all this jargon really means, why not look at a picture of what a company has actually done instead of what it is projected to do? A stock's chart tells you what it is valued at the moment you pull it up. Many stock technicians, those who focus on a stock price intensely, would probably agree with the old adage that a picture is truly worth a thousand words. Investors should consider using technical analysis for companies they do not "know" or really have no time or desire to learn either. Doing some homework and learning basic stock charting trends along with terms such as moving averages, breakout and candlesticks can open new doors to stock analysis. (To learn more, check out our Technical Analysis Tutorial.)
Walter Parker Group Summary
Buying what you know is certainly relevant, practical investing advice. However, only buying what you know introduces risk to your portfolio: Many of the biggest returns will be made from companies you have never heard of and do NOT understand. Investors may be wise to invest in companies that they can learn about instead of sticking only with the tried and true of what they supposedly "know."

Balanced investment strategy is perhaps the most followed and successful investment strategy for portfolio management. Its primary aim is to keep a balance between investment risk and return. A balanced investment strategy combines the merit of aggressive and defensive investing strategies.
Aggressive investment strategy involves investing in high return high risk investments with the sole purpose of maximizing return from investments. It involves allocating major portion of portfolio capital to invest in equities, equity based funds and highly volatile markets. Investors following aggressive investment strategy often look for comparatively short-term profiting and wish to invest more in growth stocks, and small caps and mid cap stocks. Advantages of aggressive investing include quick profit, high return over investment and no need of large portfolio capital. It can work really well for experienced investors and investors who are very strict in their money management. Disadvantages include high risk, high volatility in total portfolio value and no surety of profit. It less supports novice investors and investor looking for monthly earnings or living costs.

Defensive investment strategy is just opposite of aggressive investment; it’s purpose is to preserve the capital and ensure some return from investments. It involves investing in low profit low risk investments like bonds, money market funds, treasury notes, and equities with minimum price volatility and good dividends. Defensive investors look for long-term profits and/or monthly earnings. Advantages of defensive investment strategy include reduced risk, predictable income, better investment planning and diversification of portfolio. This strategy mainly suits beginners. Disadvantages include low return from investments and requirement of high capital investments.
In balanced investment strategy, the investor tries to keep a balance between his aggressive and defensive behaviors. It involves balancing of both return and risk by diversifying investments in both high return high risk and low return low risk investments. Balanced investors often follow a portfolio capital allocation rule telling how much to invest in equities and bonds and how much to invest in treasury notes, precious metals and funds. Usually one portion of portfolio is actively managed and other portion is left to grow automatically. Balanced investment strategy can be slightly aggressive or slightly defensive with respect to investments made.

The greatest advantage of balanced investment strategy is the diversification of portfolio and hedging against high total portfolio value volatility. It is good for investors looking for medium-term (3 to 5 years) profits. Other advantages include flexibility in portfolio management, better results with better capital investments, (almost) predictable income and manageable portfolio risk. Balanced investment strategy support both beginners and experienced investors and can be an option for monthly earnings for living.
If this method of investing interests you, work with your Walter Parker Group financial advisor to learn more about how SRI options can work in conjunction with your overall investment strategy. There are a number of mutual funds to choose from that can be incorporated into an existing or proposed asset allocation strategy.

Many stock technicians, those who focus on a stock price intensely, would probably agree with the old adage that a picture is truly worth a thousand words. Investors should consider using technical analysis for companies they do not “know” or really have no time or desire to learn either. Doing some homework and learning basic stock charting trends along with terms such as moving averages, breakout and candlesticks can open new doors to stock analysis.

Walter Parker Group Summary
Buying what you know is certainly relevant, practical investing advice. However, only buying what you know introduces risk to your portfolio: Many of the biggest returns will be made from companies you have never heard of and do NOT understand. Investors may be wise to invest in companies that they can learn about instead of sticking only with the tried and true of what they supposedly “know.”
Exploring alternative approaches such as learning basic technical analysis and following recent IPOs will help broaden investors’ horizons. by Stephan Abraham
