>From the Desk of J. Christoph Amberger
Dear Friend,
There's news out on Taser (TASR:NASDAQ).
Those of you who followed our second
recommendation of TASR shares at around
US$32.50 in our Taipan Lifetime Hotline of April 7,
2004, are now up about 33% as it makes its way
past US$44.
Just one day after announcing that it has received
another three orders worth US$1 million from the
Louisville, Long Beach and Miami-Dade County
police departments, TASR revealed that the United
Kingdom has approved the use of the company's
stun guns for some officers in England and Wales.
But wait, there's more.
The company has also launched the TASER X26C
Citizen Defense System. Private citizens can
purchase the devices from the www.taser.com site
as of September 15, 2004. According to reports,
the system has a shorter maximum range of 15 feet.
The law enforcement model's maximum is 21 feet.
This is big news. We're holding shares of TASR for
the long term.
***It's going up and it's going down in our
sideways market: The dollar gained what it lost
earlier in the week after manufacturing activity in
New York State suggested the US economy just
might not be as bad as the professional worrywarts
in the press would have it.
US industrial production growth may have come in
lower than expected, but it was still enough to take
from gold and euro what gold and euro took from
the dollar a few days ago.
***Is there any way to make decent money in this
ebb and flow of assets? Just days after taking a five-
day 118% gain on QQQ options, Ian "Hot Hands"
Cooper and the EVS team have uncovered a play
that could help investors realize another triple-digit
gain in just days.
According to Ian, "We're hoping to exit this play on
slow dissemination of news just as quickly as we
enter it. US Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle
has just agreed to an asbestos victims' compensation
fund proposal in the amount of US$140 billion. That
matches the amount proposed by the Republican
leader. This could take asbestos claims out of the
courts."
This Full Report explains how you can put EVS to
work for you:

***e-Dispatch reader Louisa R. writes in response
to our recent exploration of the supposed US real-
estate "bubble":
"Thank you for the only rational article I've seen on
this housing 'bubble' that so many prattle about.
Having helped people sell and buy residential real
estate for about 15 years, I have seen prices fall and
rise, but very few people were badly hurt when they
fell. At the bottom of the market, in the mid 1990's,
a few who had second mortgages found themselves
'upside down,' owing as much or more than the
current value. Even they were hurt only if they were
compelled to sell. Nobody hates short sales more
than real-estate agents, since the lenders take their
share and we get paid only if there's any money left.
But I see very few signs of big a drop in prices, only
a slowing in the rise or maybe even a flattening of
prices. Prices will always rise and fall, but prices of
residential real estate will rarely plummet rapidly,
barring some rare catastrophe."
*** Not only is the looming "real-estate crash" a Big
Lie... but a new hidden real-estate boom is
emerging - and it's making some people very rich.

Certificates" that could make you 10 times your

***Quotes of the Day:
"If my forgeries looked as bad as the CBS
documents, it would have been 'Catch Me In
Two Days.'"
--Ex-forger Frank Abagnale, September 15,
2004
"I understand that people want to protect their
sources, but we are dealing with the alleged
forgery of government documents to influence a
presidential race during war. This is not politics
as usual."
--House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.),
September 15, 2004
"We're sunk. Our reputations have been
impugned, and if we didn't look like we were
shilling for Kerry a week ago, we look like we're
trying to at least protect a source who gave us
these documents who might be supportive of
Kerry or at least the Democratic Party."
--Unnamed CBS news producer in an interview
with the American Spectator, September 15, 2004
***WORLD OF PROFITS***
*** "Still, our indicators continue to signal bullish
trends. Look for a gain of 1% tomorrow."
Punch-drunk with their recent reasonable accuracy,
our indicators appeared to be taking a snooze: the
Hong Kong Hang Seng index closed at 13,084.40,
down 63.66 points or 0.48%.
How now, brown cow? There still appears to be
considerable bounce in the index. Will it come
through tomorrow? We place our bets on gains of
0.5%.
*** "Yet again our indicators not share the
optimism, foreshadowing a retreat of 0.3% or
more."
The Nikkei 225 followed our "or more," closing at
11,158.58, down 137.00 points (1.21%) for the
day.
Our indicators to signal further downward pressure
of at least minus 0.7%.
***DESK OF DENHOLM***
This just in from Taipan's resident Editor-at-Large,
Martin Denholm:
I went to New Orleans at Christmas 2001 and loved
the place. I didn't do anything too debauched or
scandalous - it was just a city whose culture, history
and people I happened to like a lot. So I'd
personally be quite sad to see it get badly slammed
by Hurricane Ivan. But with the city situated several
feet below sea level, things don't look good (you
can see just how exposed the place is from the air).
You've got to love some folks' sense of humor in
the face of an ugly situation, though. Having just
finished boarding up his windows, one guy spray-
painted this message on to the wood: "We don't run
from hurricanes; we drink them." But residents are
running en masse after Mayor Ray Nagin urged the
city's 500,000 inhabitants to flee the low-lying city.
***Goodbye, Sweet 16: Interest rate fever is
gripping the world! The Bank of England and
Reserve Bank of New Zealand have hiked rates
several times over the past few months. The US
Federal Reserve seems on track to do the same
again. The Bank of Canada recently raised rates for
the first time in 17 months. Heck, even China is
considering lifting its base rate for the first time since
1995!
And now Brazil. Nine interest rate cuts since June
2003 seem to have done the trick and hauled the
nation's economy out of recession. Demand is
increasing once again and the economy is sailing
through calmer waters - evidenced by the second
quarter's 5.7% annualized GDP expansion, the
fastest pace since 1996. Current forecasts call for
full-year growth between 3.5% and 4.5%. But
interest rates are at a lofty 16%. Now, in order to
combat rising inflation and oil prices, the central
bank is prepared to move decisively today.
Inflation raced to 7.2% in August - the fastest since
January and up sharply from May's five-year low of
5.2%. That's also well above the government's
target rate of 5.5% this year and 4.5% next year.
The only question is: will the bank follow the
cautious lead of its peers around the world and hike
by 0.25%? Or will it go out on a limb and raise by
0.5%? Answers from Brasilia this evening...
***Fish Fuel Peruvian Economy. I never thought I'd
find myself talking about Peru in this space. But
there's a first time for everything. So while I'm in
South America, let's jet west from Brazil and get
fishy!
Yep... salty fish have led Peru's economy to its
longest expansion in 20 years. Fishmeal production,
Peru's second largest export, soared 58.8% from a
year earlier as anchovies wiggled their way back into
Peruvian waters en masse. I love those little suckers
on pizza and in pasta dishes - and so does Peru's
export market!
After posting a solid 3% expansion in June, GDP
grew 3.75% in July, extending the country's
economic growth record to an impressive 37 straight
months.
Take care till next time. Ciao.
