Special hello to Phoenix show-goers!

By Thom Calandra

TIBURON, Calif. (TC) -- Good morning, Voldy morts! And a very special welcome to those who attended the Phoenix Natural Resources Show this past weekend.

How good was it to be swimming laps beneath the face of that friendly desert sun? Yow! Just a few hundred yards from the Super Bowl, but without the crowds!

Joe Martin is the friendly chap from up north who puts on the shows. Mr. Martin's shows can be seen at CAMBRIDGE HOUSE on zee Web. It was good to see and break bread with him, and with the crowd from the Gold Antitrust Action Committee, especially Darth himself, Mr. Bill Murphy. Thanks for the lobster and beef, Bill!

I know the folks attending the show -- and there were loads of them for such a gorgeous Phoenix weekend -- will be waiting for the next word on my current book project, Actionable & Large: Cracking The Buyside Code.

In the meantime, don't be shy. Feel free to ping me. The email is the same as it ever was: thom-dot-calandra-at-gmail-dot-com. Thank you a hundred times for the ballroom hugs and smiles. With any luck, I can get back to my old Arizona stomping grounds (I went to university at UA in Tucson) next month for a spring-training baseball game or two.

Until then, get actionable and large, Voldy Morts. Nothing has changed in my world, except the hugs! I still love and have no intention of departing from the land of WiMAX, the next great broadband wireless remote standard for swaths of cities, states and nations. And I believe most of the world of the so-called junior resource companies, as you folks call them, are about as cheap as anything in any industry in this messed up, deflated landscape of small and mid-sized companies.

This is the best time to get actionable and crack the buyside code. BUY, don't trade. BUY as if you were stealing the stock from the fat-cat portfolios of the conniving money merchants and financiers who usually control the destiny of my beloved Joe and Josephine Garage Loft Investor. This is your moment, when the prices of all this stuff -- as long as it's an honorable and rapidly growing company -- are absolutely fuh-gazled. Voldy morts, that means cheap in my smacka-da-bum speak.
