Don't Take Your Freedom For Granted, Celebrate Our Independence

	Friday, July 4, 2008 Whitelist Us         What Does the Fourth of July Mean to You? By Charles Delvalle Independence didn’t come easy for the United States. It took years of debates and planning. Lives were lost in the process. Yet in the end, the most powerful nation in the world was born. If you’re an American, you’re used to independence. Sure, many of us complain about how the government can wiretap our lines or how they put cameras on every corner. But in the end, we usually don’t go to jail for expressing those thoughts. We aren’t told how much flour we can buy. We aren’t limited to only having two children. I mention this because so many people take our independence for granted. They’ve lived in the states their whole life. They’re used to cable… cell phones… and broadband connections. They’re used to buying tickets to go see Paul McCartney. They’re used to being able to do pretty much anything they want, without taking any slack for it. As the saying goes, ‘Freedom isn’t free’. Our freedom was paid for by those who believed in the U.S. JFK, Lincoln, and other presidents died for a nation they truly believed in. Our world would be completely different if it wasn’t for their huge contributions. And let’s not forget all of those who went to war and died for our cause. Regardless what you believe about the wars we’ve had thus far, these were individuals who were willing to fight for the U.S. no matter what. While millions go out every single night to eat, they never once consider that one day, we may not be free. One day, we may go through a bad war and see curfews and drafts. We may get in a horrible car accident and find ourselves relying on everyone else just to stay alive.

So it’s important that we appreciate it while it’s here. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned about America and Americans in general, it’s that despite all our differences we all come together to help out. But sometimes we become distracted. Nobody can be blamed for it. Some of us have lost jobs or taken a pay cut. But we should never lose sight of the freedoms we have. Tonight we’ll be able to walk outside, have a beer with some friends, and watch an awesome display of fireworks. Others may not choose to do that. Maybe other people just want a quiet night with the person they love, where they can just look out the window and see the fireworks go off from their family room. And others still will stay up as late as they want, say as many bad things about those in power as they’d like, and then go to sleep in their cozy bed. We’re free… but we should help those that aren’t. So do me a favor and try to make a point to put some money into a charity that you believe in. Make it a point to use your freedoms to their fullest. Lastly, make it a point to help those that need it the most. America needs to come together again to make it through the troubling times facing us. By realizing the freedoms we really do have and opening our hearts, we’ll experience the best kind of freedom there is. With that, I’d like to leave you with a quote from one of our founding fathers, John Adams… “I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will triumph in that Days Transaction.” Have a great Fourth, Charles P.S.  To let me know what you thought of today's article, send an e-mail to: feedback@investorsdailyedge.com. Market Watch Ride or Slide: United Technologies (UTX) By Charles Delvalle Once upon a time, the defense sector was the place to have your money. From wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. was spending tons. Is the party over? That’s what our reader Paul was wondering when he asked… Subject: UTX United Aircraft? Hi Charles, Shares are down perhaps because of building slump dropping HVAC and elevator backlog?  This seems to be a well-managed company. Jet engines doing well (Pratt-Whitney) and more efficient ones will go into the newer lightweight composite fuel efficient jobs the survivors will have to be flying to be competitive. Whatcha think?  Paul The whole sector is being downgraded. It explains why United Technologies (UTX) is suffering. The scariest part… airlines should reduce their orders in the next two years as they cut costs to cope with higher oil prices. Just when you thought things were at their worst, now investors are worrying about the election. Obama wants to pull troops from Iraq, which would mean less defense spending. McCain isn’t in a hurry to pull troops out, which means a continuation of defense spending. That’s a huge uncertainty that won’t be fully resolved until after the election in November. Technically, the company is a falling knife. Well, that is unless you look at their weekly chart. They are sitting just above their 200-week moving average. While this may look tempting as a buy, when you look back, you’ll notice the last time they hit their 200-week average, they still fell under it. In other words, there’s no real pattern of their 200-week acting as support. The last thing you should do is buy because your hoping a pattern emerges. While I believe the sell-off in this company is overdone (and we may see a bounce), this stock probably won’t perform until after the November election. Let United Technologies (UTX) slide.

The day started out with the S&P 500 dropping below its March low, but the S&P moved higher throughout the day and closed higher on the day. This is a good sign. Not only were there enough buyers to keep the S&P from closing below its March low, but also because the markets typically move higher the week after the Fourth of July. With the markets as oversold as they are, don’t be shocked to see a higher market next week.       In The Markets   Last Change YTD Dow 11,288.54 73.03 -14.90% Nasdaq 2,245.38 6.08 -15.34% S&P 500 1,262.90 1.38 -13.99% Gold 932.50 12.80 11.90% Silver 18.26 0.11 23.63% Oil 144.36 0.79 50.41% Nat Gas 13.46 0.09 79.95%   Newsworthy In the last year, Toyota Home, as Toyota's housing division is known, launched an aggressive advertising campaign to make more consumers aware of the brand, opened showrooms and hired architects to help redesign its lineup of homes -- which consumers complained had more function than style. Toyota's aspirations as a home builder are also gaining new importance with the planned launch by 2010 of its plug-in vehicles, gas-electric hybrid cars with powerful lithium-ion batteries that drivers will need to recharge at home. The car maker is testing an electricity-monitoring system in its homes that would charge the vehicle during off-peak hours to keep utility bills low, while the car's battery can serve as an electrical backup, powering the home during blackouts. Toyota engineers are also experimenting with using solar panels as house siding and powering homes with fuel cells, which combine hydrogen and air to produce electricity. "At Toyota, we have certain technologies that we can apply to other fields," says Senta Morioka, president of Toyota's housing operations. -WSJ.Com     Meet the Team MaryEllen Tribby - Publisher Jedd Canty - Business Director Rick Pendergraft - Managing Editor Jon Herring - Editor Nicole Reynolds - Marketing Analysts / Editorial Contributors Michael Masterson Charles Delvalle Andrew M.
