Hurricane Katrina

On September 25th we estimated the economic, political and psychological impacts of hurricane Katrina and compared them to other disasters. We talked about the social and racial dynamics that exacerbated the crisis and the extent to which government mismanagement, before and during, had an effect. And we contemplated the possibility of future such events and questioned the wisdom of building, much less rebuilding on vulnerable coasts.

On Sunday, October ninth we look at healthcare, or rather the lack thereof. Recently the Courier Journal published an in-depth report on the “critical condition” of Kentucky’s health. It highlighted the astonishing number of uninsured and the shortfalls in programs such as Medicaid.

So what, if any, role should our government play in ensuring adequate care for all its citizens? Is it something best addressed by the public sector or the free market? Are the miracles of modern medicine becoming out-of-reach for you and me? Take two aspirin and join us 3 PM Sunday, October ninth at the City Café as we gauge the health of healthcare in America.

Make no mistake: Our mission at Tip Top Equities is to sift through the thousands of underperforming companies out there to find the golden needle in the haystack. A stock worthy of your investment. A stock with the potential for big returns. More often than not, the stocks we profile show a significant increase in stock price, sometimes in days, not months or years. We have come across what we feel is one of those rare deals that the public has not heard about yet. Read on to find out more.

Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.

Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements

The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology

We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
