What technologies will have far reaching impact on the market?

The economy has changed a lot in the last thirty years. The economy is only just now starting to improve, as the Chinese wages improve and as human rights improve in China, and as workers in Bangladesh, and in other areas, are forming unions.
Right now you need to really be smart in order to succeed in business, as businesses all over are going out of business.
Some malls here in California are completely gone now. And great stores like The Broadway department stores are long gone.

And areas which were once wealthy are now poor and run-down.
It will take a lot of hard team-work to improve the world economy. We need a global labor movement, including in China where they need fair pay and good treatment and where they need unions which are independent of the government, and where they need democracy and improved human rights.
But, at the same time, many people have gotten wealthy from computers, and from web services, and web businesses, etc. And also, people are making money from cell phones and stuff.
The entertainment industry has totally changed too, with movies and television, and also with music, etc. And, all of the bookstores are closing down, which is really sad.
One of the surviving bookstores is Barnes & Noble, it is a great company.

We need more bookstores to start up.
Oh, and another business that is needed everywhere is bicycle shops, bicycle shops can succeed in today's economy. Everyone wants to exercise and be healthy, and everyone wants to help the environment, and many people are too poor to buy cars, so a lot of people are riding bicycles. And Los Angeles has events such as CicLAvia, where they close off the streets to cars, and people ride bicycles, and walk, and ride skateboards, etc.

One of the surviving video stores, which also has music, is F.Y.E. They are great, they have a good selection, with good salespeople, and the prices are good. I hope that they succeed and expand to new locations.

We need more music stores like Tower Records, which went out of business, they were great. We need new music stores to open up and succeed.

Amoeba Music is a great company, I hope that they are highly successful, and I hope that they grow to include more locations, such as opening music stores in Anaheim, San Diego, and Las Vegas, etc.

Jobs are being created now in Mojave, California, they need to do more to create more jobs there, they need to build more factories in Mojave. And they have guys like Richard Branson helping to create jobs there.

People built a million houses in the Antelope Valley, but there are not any jobs there. So, the people are stuck driving in heavy traffic to work in Los Angeles, or they are unemployed. Jobs need to be created in Mojave so that the people of the Antelope Valley can work close to where they live, and to get people off of welfare and to get them working.
There are top secret jobs building secret aircraft and satellites and stuff, out in the desert, but you need to be highly qualified to get those jobs. There needs to be jobs for the average guy, and for people who are unskilled labor.
Salute,

On the issue of the economy in California...
We need to build Camaros in Van Nuys again, only in the future we need to build electric cars. Maybe there can be an electric version of the Camaro. And we need new factories in Mojave. And we need more water for the farmers. And we need to make our immigrants legal, so that they can legally work and join unions and so that they are not afraid to call the police in the case of an emergency, etc. We also must expand trade with Latin America, and we can help to work to lift Latin America out of poverty. There is a lot that we can do.

We also need to build our high speed trains, including a high speed train between Anaheim and Las Vegas.
Salute,

The Hollywood Return
The now tripled tax credit is giving production companies even more reasons to go back to Cali.

-----------
California has great film schools, USC, and Chapman, and good acting schools (including the AADA), California can bounce back and regain the money and jobs from film and television.
Several years ago I tried to buy a piece of property here in my neighborhood to open a movie studio. The property is about the size of Occidental Studios in East Hollywood. There is room for a couple of soundstages and some production offices. I even had one office already going to a friend's record label. They wanted five million dollars for the property, and I sent the proposal to the San Manuel Indian Tribal Business Council, but they turned me down. They told me to keep sending them my ideas, and they said that maybe I will come up with an idea that they are interested in.
Here is the property, a towing company bought it.

The only bad thing is that it is close to the railroad tracks. But, the trains do not run very often.
I asked the guys in the neighborhood if they wanted a movie studio in our neighborhood, and they said that is the kind of business they want here, they were very supportive of the idea.
It could be like Occidental, and Disney uses Occidental all of the time. The last time I was at Occidental, Disney was there working. I am sure that people would use a little movie studio here in Anaheim. There could be a recording studio there too, for music, if people want one.
It was a good idea, and at least I tried.
Salute,
Tony V.
