Michael Steele Could Profit From a Near-Earth Supernova

A near-Earth Supernova could wipe out humanity, killing us with increased radiation and cosmic ray exposure, followed by a new ice age. But just because we die off doesn't mean your portfolio can't have a fighting chance. In a blog piece I wrote for the Motley Fool Blog Network, I explain what companies you can invest in to hedge against a near-Earth supernova and possibly profit from the ensuing disaster. Companies like lead-shielding manufacturer Metalico ($MEA), cancer drug maker Celgene ($CELG), and the company that could be called on to single-handedly rebuild our food chain, Archer Daniels Midland ($ADM). The Motley Fool's own Supernova investing service can't help you, but Michael Steele can. You and I might not live long enough to enjoy the portfolio gains, but your miserable, starving, cancer-ridden, mutant progeny will inherit your profits to buy the shelter, medicine, precious nutrients, and protection from the roving bands of nomads that they desperately need for their continued survival.

Michael Steele Shows Aspiring Supervillains How To Invest

Are you an aspiring Supervillain? In a blog story I wrote for the Motley Fool Blog Network, I explain how you, as an ordinary run-of-the-mill villain can grow the wealth you need for your wide-ranging world domination schemes by investing in the companies and industries that you, as a soon-to-be Supervillain, may already be familiar with. Invest in companies like Cemex ($CX) for building your underground lair, Titanium Metals ($TIE) for your armor, Illumina ($ILMN) for your genetics experiments, II-IV ($IIVI) for all your laser needs, and Discovery Communications ($DISCA, $DISCK) for their Shark Week expertise, because what good are your frickin' laser beams if you don't have sharks to mount them on? Whether you're a future Supervillain yourself, or just an ordinary investor who wants to ride the Supervillain industry's bull market to your own handsome profits, this is the investment guide for you!

Michael Steele Can Defeat the Robots... On Paper

A team at MIT and UPenn is working on technology to design and print your own paper robots. But as usual, Michael Steele is more concerned about the possibility of these cheap, mass-produced robots rising up in revolt against their human masters. From the story:

Imagine a time and place where building a robot for a specific need would be as easy as heading to your local Lowe’s or Home Depot, then have the robot you need designed, printed and programmed in as little as a day. Two prototypes have been built so far: an insect-like robot for exploring dangerous areas, and a gripper device for the handicapped. [...]

Here, MIT is promising a future where we choose what we want in a robot, and the possibilities sure do seem endless. Robot slaves, anyone? I don’t know about you, but I’m getting visions of SkyNet and Judgment Day, where robots become self-aware and kill us all.

At least when the robots rise up against humanity, we'll be easily able to put down the revolt with our own arsenal of scissors.

Unless the robots are able to use their own mastery over rocks as a weapon, because that would defeat our scissors.

Michael Steele Teaches You How to Profit from the Coming Robot Uprising

In a piece I wrote for the Motley Fool blog network, I will teach you how you can profit from the coming robot uprising by investing in the companies that will fuel the revolution and aid in the downfall of man. Companies like 3D Systems Corp. ($DDD), Intuitive Surgical ($ISRG), iRobot ($IRBT), Oceaneering International ($OII), and most surprisingly of all, Disney ($DIS). Don't be left behind in the middle class! You'll want to be in the 1% when it comes time to buy your ticket on one of the few evacuation spaceships!
