But not all is gloomy in Pink world. If one researches diligently, finding a needle in a haystack is possible. A Pink Sheet listed company that I am keeping my eye on is Strat Petroleum Ltd., (SPRL) an Oil and Gas company whose strategy is to enhance shareholder value through acquisition of oil & gas properties with proven reserves or producing/capped wells.

They began trading on Pink Sheets in July of 2004 and since then, investors have seen stock rise from under a penny to a recent high of about thirty cents. But what makes this U.S. company so unique is that they are focusing their efforts of becoming a top oil company by investing in, of all places, Russia. On outside, one could look at that as carrying extra risk. But on a recent trip to former Soviet Union, company was able to secure their first oil field purchase, out of several they have identified and are pursuing. Strat Petroleum Ltd may be an exception to Pink Sheet rule, or at least appears to be. Again, without listing requirements it’s difficult to know for sure. But I think that Strat Petroleum Ltd has excellent potential. Their Board of Advisor’s is a virtual Who’s Who of industry leaders, many of whom are Russian, which makes it even more attractive.

So why Wellness? Well, 78 million baby boomers, who have been dictating our economy for last 20 years, are now aged between 37 and 55 and have more money and more spending power than ever before. They have been responsible for booms such as housing, utility vehicles and personal computers and their ultimate desire, as they head into later years, is to slow down aging process, to stay healthy, full of vitality and to look and feel every bit as young as their minds tell them they are.

How do they go about achieving these goals? Through focussing on wellness, whether it be through services of practitioners such as naturopaths and homeopaths, exercise and fitness, use of vitamins and minerals to accommodate for lack of nutrition in our foods today or through other sources.

Baby boomers are not prepared to accept, as their parents have, that medication will be a necessary part of their future. Prevention of ailments and disease is a core focus for millions of people now, and into future, and it’s only through attention to health and wellbeing and welcoming of “Wellness” products and services into our lives that this can be achieved.

The opportunity to make a fortune from this industry is now available to each and every one of us. If you are seriously looking for an opportunity to take ride of your life to financial freedom and security and to take back control of your future then Wellness industry is vehicle to take you there.

Whether you choose to enter industry from a practitioner perspective, or through manufacturing of wellness products, through retailing or through distribution you can be assured that any one of these means could make you a millionaire, if you just have guts to go for it, to take a risk and to stick at it. Afterall, every person who has succeeded in business and in life has failed their way there. The difference between them and people that live a mediocre life is persistence. The ability to never EVER give up.

Don’t miss boat on this one. If you truly want life you have always dreamed of, time is SO RIGHT at this point in time that you would be doing yourself a disservice to ignore opportunity.

Jump in, take a risk, and get ready for ride of your life!
