Breaking All the Rules – Exclusive World Class Investments to Stabilize Your Portfolio and to Help Double Your Net Worth!!

BREAKING ALL THE RULES!  Exclusive World Class Investments to Stabilize Your Portfolio and To Help Double Your Net Worth!!


Cabal Capital Management, LLC announces the launch of the Special Opportunity Fund which provides alternative investment opportunities into extremely low risk, very high financial return Advanced High Income Generation Projects through direct investments.

Our fund is unlike all others that exist today by offering investments that are focused on both strategic and tactical investment opportunities into Highly Advanced Income Generating Project(s) producing vital, very high demand product(s) that are being sold directly into the largest “Major” Universal Demand Markets in the world.  These investments allow risk adverse accredited investors the ability to participate in the revenues generated from these projects which allows for and achieves capital growth while providing the investor a low risk opportunity with the benefit of dependable and sustainable alpha generation and the long term growth from these projects.  These fully integrated projects have been designed to last 40 to 50 years or longer for their life cycles regardless of the global financial and credit markets.

Our fund is well positioned to effectively tap into these markets to the benefits of our investors.  The growth dynamics of the United States and Western Europe is based upon local, regional and domestic consumption of all the products these projects produce.  This fund is targeting routine and consistent annual double digit returns (15 – 21%) to investors un-correlated to all securities, commodities, currencies and the credit markets themselves since there will not be any exposure to these markets.  All project investments within this special investment vehicle have been specifically developed and designed to perform across various business cycles regardless of global economic conditions.

The current global credit crisis, current stock market contractions and wild swings in the commodities markets does not and will not impact our ability to produce consistent annual double digit returns now or in the future for our investors since we will never have, need or rely on the credit markets to establish margin accounts or leveraged positions which most all hedge fund type investment vehicles require to operate.  We do not require nor will we ever utilize prime services which the large investment banks provide (Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, etc.). We do not rely on the stock, commodity or currency exchanges to generate income since we can not control any of the events occurring in those exchanges for our investors, thus we are totally un-correlated to all securities, commodities, currencies and credit markets. 

In the case of Deflationary and or Inflationary Markets, they will have no real effect on these projects and the products they produce.  Coincidentally inflation will only increase the value of the products coming out of the projects, and deflationary markets will have very minimal impact as well since the products produced will always be in very high demand through out the world. 

Risk issues are always addressed through risk management and the review procedures for each and every investment made.  Unlike most projects which have been developed, planned and master planned, every assumption for each project has been tested, validated, verified and proven or it’s not incorporated into these project(s).  Each and every project is also backed up by a detailed Input / Output Financial Cash Model which is a detailed Program / Project Financial Blueprint that shows the quarterly inter-relationships of investments, operational production revenues, operational expenses at all levels, taxes, imposts and fees, special circumstances events, and financial obligations during the life of the Program / Project.

Since energy production and consumption is the key element to any industrialized country, and with energy consumption increasing globally at an annual rate of 5 – 6 %, energy is and always will be vital to both the U.S. and Western European Economies. Allocating to Energy and Bio-Fuels production are two major key areas of involvement and investments within our seven pronged program investment strategies approach, which consists of the following options available to us:  Energy:  Oil & Gas (Example Project to follow), Bio Fuels:  Algae Based Bio-Diesel and Jatropha Curcas {plant} direct fuel source.  Algae Based Bio-Diesel is a direct fuel source currently available and ready for full scale production and delivery {This is not a blend for gasoline!} Algae Based Bio-Diesel Fuel production utilizes proprietary photo enhanced, micro nutrient enhanced, continuous flow, automated, sensor quality controlled, bio-chemical industrial processes and then are pressed, centrifuged, oils separated from water, water treated, cooked, cracked and treated all within a 12 hour cycle (Start to Finish) to complete one batch made ready for use in any diesel engine.  Initially 270 Million Gallons per quarter to several Billion Gallons of bio-diesel per quarter will be produced depending upon the initial size of a project program.  This Algae Based Bio-Diesel Fuel source has a Cetane Rating of 105 -117 compared to 80 – 85 Cetane Rating for #1 diesel fuel currently produced by all the major oil companies, which provides more power, better millage and performance while emitting 60 – 70% less emissions across the board vs. normal standard crude oil based diesel fuels. Algae Based Bio-Diesel emits no sulfur and or nitrogen into the atmosphere, Alternative Energy:  Solar / Concentrated Solar Thermal Power Production, Wind and Electric Fuel Cell Systems, Natural Resources:  Gold, Platinum, Other Precious Metals Groups and Diamond Mining: Refining, Assaying, Separation using advanced physical technologies and Bullion production of Gold and Platinum as well as Processing, Cutting, Valuation Appraisals of Diamonds and other Precious Stones, Water:  Proprietary Water Science / Technology to Produce Fresh Drinking Water to meet Agricultural, Industrial and Human Public Health needs in critically water short areas through Water production, bottling facilities and distribution.  This can be accomplished with any available water supply {in ground water tables, above and below ground reservoirs with a high saline content normally not recommended for human consumption}, Sea Waters & Brackish Waters anywhere Globally, Hydroponics:  Food Production: Fish Shrimp, Prawns, Fruits Vegetables utilizing USDA inspectors to garner Grade A Choice Status to include direct marketing into Major U.S.A. and International Consumer Demand Markets, and Special Opportunities: Aviation Fuels: JP-1 to JP-12 for Commercial and Military Applications from Algae Based Direct Fuel Sources as well as Advanced Hyper-Speed Information Technologies and other Advanced High Income Generation Project Opportunities as they become available.

It should be noted that traditional large project investments consist normally of only one income generation production element and typically requires three years at the earliest before the investors see any type of modest return on their investment.  Our projects produce immediate results in the first year.  These Exclusive World Class Projects which are available to us for investments have no less than 2, but normally include 5 or more Major Integrated Income Production Elements within each project.  It should also be noted that each income producing element within these projects are so strong that they could stand on their own and support the entire project, which is why many of these elements are developed together to form an Advanced Integrated Income Generation Project depending upon the requirements and location of the program.

All of the projects that this special opportunity fund invests in involve Proprietary Advanced Technologies and Advanced Physical Science / Processes (not known to the great majority of Asset Manager Companies Staffs).   Other types of investment pool managers, hedge funds, etc. do not know or even have access to these world class development engineering people and the technologies assets and projects that they develop, implement and manage.  Currently we have in excess of $10 Billion Dollars worth of Advanced High Income Generation Projects available to us for investments.

Another Special Note of consideration is that each investment will bring with it potential tax advantages not typically found in other types of investments.  Depending on where the project(s) are located and how the project are legally structured and set up (Development Corporations, Development Authority, etc.) could result in tremendous tax advantages, which each investors tax advisor will need to qualify and determine the best approach for each investors own tax liabilities depending upon their current tax status, situation and strategies.

These projects are conducted by Highly Reliable, Senior Internationally Experienced Technical Managers, Senior Science Managers and Senior Logistics / Project Security Management Staffs, which have planned, developed, evaluated and trouble-shot economic development projects and strong income generation projects in over 65 countries during the past 40 years.

There are in excess of 300 Top Level Executive Technical Managers with over 30 years of Experience in each of their perspective Development Sectors available for all projects that our fund invests in.  These projects are designed to insure extreme depth of expertise and experience management which is available to any project at any and every stage of the project program, regardless of location of the project anywhere globally.

** Fully Integrated Oil & Gas / Real Example Project:

This Oil & Gas production program is headed up by a Top Level Senior International Consultant which is an Oil and Gas Industry Executive who has been involved in the Oil & Gas Industry over the past 50 years.  This Oil & Gas Executive is the Systems Developer, Scientist, Equipment Designer and Engineer who is recognized as an expert in his field by the U.S. Department of Energy who also has called him upon him frequently in the past to trouble shoot particular Oil and Gas fields as a technical advisor and as a trouble shooter to rectify any and all problems associated with troubled oil and gas production fields.

This Top Senior International Consultant has a proprietary and proven 12 step methodology for siting, drilling, completing and production techniques for all wells.  He has a historical commercial success rate of 92% for bringing in all of his wells sited, drilled, completed and producing which also has a normal life span of 15 to 20 plus year’s worth of production.

This Advanced High Income Generation Oil and Gas project is comprised of the following: 

A Top Down Electric Air Hammer System which is highly sensorized with Professional Engineers and Scientists managing all operational positions.  These auto sensor rigs provide detailed information by satellite to a centralized operations and training center where all decisions are made by people with 45 – 50 years of successful completion and production experience.

Each oil and gas well completed will be drilled in both soft and hard rock beds and will vary in depths from 3,000 feet to over 13,000 feet.  All wells in this program will be completed initially in the state of Texas, in the United States of America.

Typical production wells will produce 60 barrels of oil per day to 500 – 600 barrels of oil per day and the gas wells will produce in a typical range of 2 million cubic feet of natural gas per day to in excess of 20 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. The total net operating investment will be returned within 4 months of production for each well.

Multiple producing formations will be completed and isolated with proprietary tools and instruments which will be operated simultaneously through out the life of the wells.  The typical life of these well are 15 – 20 years because of the 12 different proprietary methods used for siting, drilling, completion and production techniques, tools, proprietary materials and instruments used on each and every well which prevents formation damage and increases the life cycle of each well to maximize the highest production obtainable.

This program consists of hundreds of oil and gas wells sited, drilled, completed and in production within a 1 – 2 year period.  These wells will be sited, drilled and completed in historically very well known and documented oil and gas producing formations within the state of Texas, in the United States of America.

Investors will receive an estimated 15 – 21% annual return per year on their investment, with payments coming at the end of each year from this program.  The threshold investment will be an aggregate amount of $400 hundred million dollars which is what the minimum program investment calls for.

Estimated program revenues are based on $60 dollars a barrel and $6.5 dollars per thousand cubic foot of natural gas.  Over the last year crude oil (West Texas Intermediate) has sold as low as $50 dollars a barrel up to as much as $147 dollars a barrel.  Over the past year natural gas has sold from $5.5 dollars a thousand cubic foot to $11.3 dollars per thousand cubic foot.

Example Oil & Gas Well Profile:  One well; properly sited, drilled, completed and producing will conservatively produce 100 barrels of oil per day and 4 million cubic foot of natural gas per day.  This provides the overall program (100 barrels x $60 per barrel = $6,000) $6,000 dollars per day of revenue.  Each 4,000 cubic foot of natural gas (4,000 x $6.5 per thousand cubic foot = $26,000) $26,000 dollars per day of revenue.  Total revenue for this example is estimated at $32,000 dollars per day of program revenue for this example. 

** All wells in this program will not produce the same **

Each month this represents a program return of (30 days x $32,000 = $960,000) $960,000 dollars of revenue coming from this one (1) example well.  The investment program we are offering involve several hundreds of program wells being sited, drilled, completed and operating within a 1 to 2 year period.

Remember, this is only two elements of a fully integrated Advanced High Income Generation Project which will involve in most cases several other elements to generate very substantial amounts of revenues over the course of the project life.  With the combination of several other Advanced High Income Generation Elements within one project, this will enhance the financial returns and revenues of the program itself, and thus will also greatly reduce any associated risk due to the diversification of the different Major Income Generation elements within each project.

Once again, the result of this Special Investment Vehicle fund are highly advantageous investment opportunities that by far exceed the majority of investment opportunities from a financial return and an extremely low risk standpoint by investing in Outstanding Advanced High Income Generation Projects.

5 Things to Do When Creating a Class Wiki

accounting classes | Posted by
Jul 13 2010

Wikis can be put to many uses because of their flexibility. One of the areas where flexible tools can provide great returns is in the educational field. Setting up a Wiki for your class to support your teaching activities can provide a contemporary but useful addition to your teaching methods. Wikis are most beneficial when they are used with projects or courses where multiple people work together on the same subject at the same time.

Before starting a Wiki for your own class it is a good idea to think about what you actually want to achieve with your class Wiki and the steps needed to get there. Below are five steps to help you achieve your online teaching goals:

1. Find A Wiki Service: Many Wiki online Wiki services are currently available to create your own classroom Wiki with. A short search with your favorite search engine on for example ‘class wiki’ should give you enough results.

2. Choose Objectives: This step may seem obvious, but it’s important to choose between two ways to use a classroom Wiki. A Wiki can either push information to the students by using it as an information-providing tool, or it can pull information by letting students share their information and collaborate on a project.

3. Naming Scheme: It is important that when you want to monitor what every student is doing that you can identify them. This is a crucial step that most educators think about after most of the students already registered their accounts. So before starting a Wiki think of an appropriate naming scheme that the students can use when they create their login names.

4. Explain & Monitor: While the students are working with their Wiki don’t forget to provide feedback to them on the process. Not everyone will immediately understand the concept and know the rules of the game. The best way to teach them about the usage of the Wiki is just by showing them how they should do it. Monitoring the Wiki daily and adding comments to the pages created by the students is an easy way to provide immediate feedback on their work.

5. Grading: This is probably the most difficult part of the whole process, because you have to find out what the students contributed and assess their individual contributions. Most Wikis provide a history page where you can see which student made a contribution to a page.

Using a class Wiki as an educational tool can provide an efficient and fun way for student to do their projects or other course work with. Make sure you think trough all of the necessary steps before you actually start, so you can effectively guide the whole process.

The paradigm shift in the business process outsourcing industry has seen it moving away from being a mere cost cutting arrangement towards a more strategy-driven functional partnership. As margins are compressed, and bottom lines stretched to meet the augmented requisites of the global enterprise, businesses cease to be a linear process. Organizations today need a growth partner whose offerings overlap their objectives; solutions that not only circumvent services & industries, but also add another dimension in the form of tangible market worth and intangible value. There is an absolute need for risk management solutions along with finance & accounting, application development & maintenance and governance risk & compliance solutions.

Corroborating these requisites are the three cornerstones of a sustainable value-driven relationship: domain expertise, technological capabilities, and management control. While the first two are essentials which can be developed and inculcated over a period of time, it is the third element which is the most critical, and often the most overlooked. In this scenario, there is a need for structured enterprise support by an outsourced organization that can provide business process solutions taking each of these dimensions into perspective.

Sophisticated infrastructure, resources and intellectual capital, ensure cutting-edge capabilities and sharp enterprise acumen. More over, exposure to the industry and knowledge of its nuts-and-bolts enables effective risk management control and in-depth check of each of the client’s processes. This translates into offerings that eliminate risks, elevate efficiencies, and towards the end enrich returns for the client.

An IT organization with focused offerings in Enterprise Consulting & Auditing Services, Governance Risk & Compliance Solutions, Risk Management Consulting, Business Process Outsourcing Consulting, Finance & Accounting Services and also Application Development & Maintenance, has become the need of the hour. Organizations that build synergy-driven relationship nourished on the values of trust, confidence, and commitment, are those that make the difference. Such organizations design adaptable and flexible engagement models that accommodate the dynamic requirements of the global market space, while incorporate functional, operational, and financial arrangements to enable productive partnerships maximizing returns and generating value for the client, that being the bottom line.

Consumer Protection and the Role of Class Action Lawsuits

accounting classes | Posted by
Jul 09 2010

Consumer protection laws exist to protect regular folks just like you and me. They’re there to give consumers a way to remedy situations where there has been an outright scam, advertising that is misleading (or a flat out lie), bad service, failure of a service company to fulfill a contract and the likes.

Consumer Protection Laws

One way that these consumer protection laws are upheld is through consumer protection class action lawsuits. These are lawsuits that are brought against companies or individuals who have broken the consumer protection laws. Basically, the idea is to have a mechanism in place that makes manufacturers and businesses do and provide what they say that they’re going to, when we pay them our hard earned money. So what are some situations that might demand a consumer protection class action lawsuit?

Well, let’s take a look at three common scenarios where consumer protection laws are violated and class action lawsuits may be warranted:

You buy something at a national chain store like K-mart or Walmart … you expect it to be and do what it has been marketed to do, right? But wait, that Martha Stewart glass top table that you purchased just shattered and you sure haven’t used it inappropriately. Hopefully, no one was hurt in the process, but still your table didn’t hold up to normal wear and tear …

In a case like this, it’s worth checking around to see whether this was a one-time fluke or if it’s a manufacturer’s defect. If it’s a defect, a consumer protection class action may be in order.

Or maybe you’ve finally decided it’s time to join the rest of the world online and you sign-up for a well known Internet service provider … everything’s going along just fine until BAM … you get your bill and they’ve gone ahead and billed you during their “free trial”. Think it’s a mistake? Think again … they’re actually making a killing off of unsuspecting computer newbies. And what’s worse? They’re nearly impossible to reach by phone!

In situations like this, companies are just plain cheating the public and they know it. You’ll notice that so-called ‘accounting and billing mistakes’ are never made in favor of the consumer.

How about this situation … have you ever had a lender (of any kind) request that you sign a consumer credit contract without full disclosure of the terms of the agreement? Or maybe you’ve purchased something on credit and the base price has been raised because you aren’t paying cash?

These are clear violations of the Truth in Lending Act. If you and others have had the same bad experience, a consumer class action is perhaps the only way to stop these people from doing what they’re doing and to collect any damages due you.

Consumer protection laws are in place to protect the public from these and many more instances of fraud. Maybe it’s time you looked into that problem you’ve been having with a product or service provider and see if there isn’t already a consumer protection class action lawsuit in play that addresses your needs.

Beginner Yoga Class Checklist

accounting classes | Posted by
Jul 05 2010

If you’re new to yoga, you might not know what to expect when you walk in the doors of a beginner’s yoga class for the first time. You might not even know how to start in choosing a beginner’s yoga class to attend. Here’s a “how to” checklist.

1. Nail down your goals and find the right style for you.

Everyone comes to yoga for different reasons. Sometimes these differences are slight, other times they’re vast.

For instance, are you interested in an intense physical workout to throbbing music, or are you on more of a spiritual path towards (quiet) enlightenment? Are you attracted to yoga because of its health benefits, and if so, is it physical or emotional health you are most interested in?

Are you interested in the philosophy and rich traditions of yoga, or are you on the other extreme and wouldn’t be caught dead reciting a mantra?

Whatever your personal needs and proclivities, there’s a yoga for you. If several flavors of yoga are offered in your area, do your research online or in the library to find which style would be the best fit for you.

Once you know what it is you’re looking for, you can set some goals. Call the teacher of the beginner yoga class you’re considering and ask if your expectations are reasonable.

2. Choose a drop-in or series beginner yoga class

A drop-in yoga class allows you to pay-as-you go. There will likely be some turnover week to week as to which students show up for class. The teacher is likely to keep this class on the mild side, because students will be at such differing ability levels.

This may be just what you’re looking for if you just want a taste of yoga but don’t want to buy an expensive package of classes. This may also be a good choice for you if your schedule won’t allow you to attend a class every week. Keep in mind there are significant drawbacks.

One, because the class is ongoing, you will never get to start at “the beginning.” You may be a little lost at first while you learn the culture of the class. Also, drop-in beginner yoga classes tend to be repetitive.

A series yoga class is different in that you buy a set number of classes and each class builds on what you learned in the previous week. A good series class is repetitive only in that there is some review each time, but then the teacher introduces new material.

You can learn much more much faster in a series class, but again there are drawbacks. First, if you miss a class it may be difficult to make up the material that you missed. Also, you will be asked to pay for the whole series up front.

Take a look at your level of commitment, your schedule and your budget and decide whether a drop-in or a series class is better for your needs.

3. Make sure the teacher has adequate training.

Yoga is now a significant contributor to sports injuries. This can be attributed to two things: students pushing themselves too hard for perfection and inadequate training of instructors.

Don’t be shy in asking your potential instructor about their background. There are certifications for teaching “gym yoga” that an instructor can get in a long weekend. A three day training is just enough to make someone dangerous. That’s not to say that some of the people who start with such certifications don’t turn out to be excellent instructors by dedicating themselves to practice and increasing their knowledge over the course of months and years.

There are of course people who teach yoga with no formal certification whatsoever, and though it might be difficult for these teachers to get liability insurance, there’s nothing illegal about it. Keep in mind that yoga is a spiritual tradition thousands of years old, and the idea of giving someone a certificate for learning a few poses and breathing techniques would have been an odd idea indeed even seventy years ago. It is one thing to wake up one morning and decide to teach yoga with little to no experience. It is quite another to teach after living for years under the tutelage of a master yogi who just doesn’t believe in certificates.

As a general rule, seek out yoga teachers with at the very least 200 hours of training. In the United States there’s an organization called the Yoga Alliance that offers a registry of teachers who attended training programs that meet certain standards. Someone can have the Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) designation from the Yoga Alliance and still be a crummy teacher, but usually RYTs are a safe bet.

4. Look into additional costs of the yoga class.

Sometimes there are additional costs involved in taking a beginner’s yoga class besides the registration fee. You may need to buy your own yoga mat, strap, or other props, for instance. In some classes you may need to buy certain books for study or even special clothing of a certain color.

It is important to know what the related costs are up front so that you and your bank account won’t encounter any surprises later on.

I hope this checklist will help you find a beginner’s yoga class that’s right for you.

Benefits of Purchasing a First Class Flight

accounting classes | Posted by
Jul 04 2010

When booking a flight, you generally have several seating options available. The most expensive option is the first class seat. Sitting in first class might make a bigger dent in your bank account, but overall, this option is a lot more comfortable and can enhance your entire travel experience greatly. If you have the option available, you should consider purchasing a first class flight. There are many benefits to purchasing a first class flight such as extra comfort and better food options.

On an airplane, first class seats are usually located near the front of the plane. Rarely do jets have more than 16 first class seats available, and sometimes they do not have first class seats at all. If you want to fly first class, talk to your airline and plan your trip accordingly. Contacting your airline ahead of time is especially important because of availability and ensuring you receive a seat for the flight you plan on taking. First class seats are popular and the following benefits explain why it is beneficial to fly first class as compared to a standard economy flight.

The first benefit to flying first class is the additional seat space provided to you. The seats in first class at much bigger, usually around 40 to 90 inches with an 18 to 25 inch seat pitch. In many cases, the seats on first class are not next to one another, so everyone has an aisle seat and a little more room to spread out and relax.

If there is a meal served on your flight, you have access to a gourmet version. For example, you can enjoy a steak while everyone else is served hamburgers. In most cases, you also get to choose your meal, whereas with a typical flight this option may not be available. Most airlines provide drink service free to all passengers, but in first class, you can get additional drinks as well as alcoholic beverages for free, which is great for longer flights. This benefit of more food choices makes first class beneficial because on a long flight you may get hungry and knowing you have access to a high quality meal can be very rewarding.

To go along with all of the free food and drink, in first class, you will typically have your own restroom. Instead of sharing one or two lavatories with 50 or more passengers, you may have a private restroom only accessible to those in first class. Sometimes there are even two or three restrooms so that you do not have to wait in line. In addition, these restrooms are usually much larger than typical restrooms.

The benefits do not stop there. When you have a first class ticket, you may also have special lounges in the airport terminal. A first class lounge usually has comfortable seats, better televisions, a good view of the runway, private bathrooms, and free food and drink options. Those with first class boarding passes are the only ones allowed in the lounge. In some cases, these lounges even have semi-private areas to sleep if you are expecting a long layover.

Some people also like the privacy of a first class seat. If you and your travel companions book all of the first class seats on a flight, it is similar to having a private jet. You can hold business meetings or have a private conversation amongst your travel companions. This is perfect if you are planning a business trip or a family vacation. First class is usually divided from the rest of the flight by a curtain to help ensure your privacy.

Sometimes, first class fliers also get special entertainment. Along with free beverages, you also have access to entertainment such as movies. Sometimes, there are multiple movie options, with each passenger getting his or her own television screen. If not, there is usually a much larger movie screen than on a standard flight.

Flying first class has many benefits over an economy flight. Although a first class ticket is much more expensive, you will notice the difference very quickly. The benefits of flying first class include better food, seats that are more comfortable, free drinks and private bathrooms. Although these few benefits may not seem like much, it is well worth the extra money.

Before you book your flight, ask your airline representative about the added benefits of flying first class on their airline. Today, not every flight offers first class seats. Many airlines have removed their first class offerings in order to add more economy seats that are in higher demand. If you want to fly first class, be prepared to pay the price. While an economy ticket may only cost a few hundred dollars, first class tickets for the same flight can cost several thousand. First class seats are not for everybody, but it you can afford this luxury it is well worth the price.
