From the FTC Press Release on Fraud
The FTC will host a a fraud forum on Februrary 25 and 26th 2009, in Washington, DC. The Forum will examine how the FTC can more effectively protect consumers from fraudulent schemes.
The first day of the Forum will be open to the public and will provide an opportunity for law enforcement, consumer advocates, business representatives and academics to examine, among other things:
- the extent of fraud in the economy and what survey research indicates about fraud victimization rates;
- the drivers - economic, sociological, and psychological - that create and sustain fraudulent actors; how new fraudulent actors learn the tools of the trade, and how they target victims;
- whether some segments of the population are at greater risk of being targeted by fraudulent actors; whether victim surveys adequately identify the magnitude and types of fraud launched against all segments of the population; what techniques law enforcement has employed to reach these segments of the population; and
- which best practices in private industries, such as banking, telecommunications, and online commerce, are best suited to identify fraud and prevent their services from being used by fraudulent actors; which systems adequately track potentially fraudulent activity and whether opportunities exist to use new or improved self-regulatory efforts to combat fraud.
The second day of the Forum will be open only to domestic and international law enforcement officials, and will focus on improving interagency coordination in the battle against consumer fraud.
Unfortunately, I don't see any reference to any recent work in behavioral economics, and I am afraid that we will hear more about who disclosure works, if just consumers would become super human economic calculators.

AFTC is our BREAKOUT TRADE of THE WEEK!!!
Alternative Fuel Technologies CEO Has Accepted Invitation to Speak as a "Key Expert" in Washington, at the “Military Energy and Fuels Conference!”
(PINK SHEETS: AFTC) (Jun 18, 2009, 12:01 p.m. EST)
AFTC CEO James C. McCandless stated, "The adoption of DME and our Fuel Injection Systems on the Military Level would offer the private sector the satisfactory evidence that DME is a legitimate fuel. McCandless further stated, "It is the company's ultimate goal to achieve series production of DME fuel systems for the global automotive market by 2011."
WHY AFTC…WHY NOW?
An Alternative Fuel Company that has a relationship with FORD AND ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY it has received a Phase 1 SBIR1 from the UNITED STATES ARMY to assess the acceptability of running jet fuel (JP-8) in a very high pressure (30,000 psi) diesel fuel injection system.
WOULD A COMPANY THE US ARMY HAS GIVEN A SHOT
BE WORTH A COUPLE OF PENNIES PER SHARE?
YES, that’s what we said! The stock RALLIED
OVER 33% YESTERDAY AND ANOTHER 16% TODAY!
And this was before this announcement…
In fact, the stock’s high was OVER 4 cents today!!!
Before we get you jump started on your independent research for the night, let’s just do a little math…
Although Pink Sheet Equities are “high risk” and “highly volatile,” they can be wildly profitable…
IF you step in around 4 CENTS and it HITS 8, YOU have DOUBLED YOUR MONEY…IF 8 CENTS HITS 16 cents…Like we said…Do the MATH!
We urge you to do your independent research, talk to your financial advisor, but we have PLENTY of INFO RIGHT HERE to BRING YOU UP TO SPEED on AFTC…
WHO IS AFTC?
Alternative Fuel Technologies, Inc. is an innovative and aggressively managed organization engaged in the development and manufacturing of ADVANCED FUEL SYSTEMS for use with NEW AND ALTERNATIVE FUEL—DME or Dimethyl Ether.
(See: http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/aftc )…AFTC has already developed low cost, intelligent fuel injection systems for DME fueled vehicles.
What is DME:
DME is GREEN—It is great for our planet..It’s a cutting edge, ultra-clean diesel fuel replacement…
DME IS INEXPENSIVE! It can be produced from abundant resources; including natural gas, landfill methane, coal and biomass.
AFTC is Fighting The War on USA Dependency on Foreign Oil: At current oil prices, DME can be produced and distributed at less than 1/2 the cost of conventional fuel. When burned in a diesel engine, all soot emissions are eliminated
As AFTC President Jim McCandless recently stated, "Economic and Political trends have converged to provide great opportunity in the area of alternative fuels and related technologies and we believe this convergence will continue to positively impact AFTC's future growth potential."
AFTC ULTIMATE GOAL: The company's ultimate goal is series production of DME fuel systems for the global automotive market by 2011.
Further information on Alternative Fuel Technologies Inc. is available at: http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/aftc
You want a double? A Triple?
Than LET US offer you ONE SUGGESTION…
LOAD THE BOAT…DON’T MISS THE BOAT!
This UPCOMING week is the START of an INCREDIBLE RIDE in our humble estimation!

Hello,
The forum is very informative. Feel great to be a part of the community.
Wanted to share a website which might be very use full for some of the people here.
I was doing some research on my mortgage refinance issue when I came across this website.
It lists some 21 mortgage calculators that I did not see anywhere on the internet so I was compelled to
share it. The coolest thing was that it also gives you the findings in plain English as well so you can
understand the results of your findings easily. The website can be accessed here. Mortgage Calculators
Thanks

Private placements are inherently risky. Not likely that there is a lot of reliable useful public information.
