The Digital Media Explosion

The age has come where media content is downloaded, burned, ripped, shared, begged, borrowed and stolen.  If one thing has proved true it is that there is an insatiable desire for media.  Now top ten songs are heard by more people than ever. Enabling that desire has seen good growth in the enablers like MP3 player, DVD’s, broadband connections, CD burners, gaming….you name it.  Meanwhile the owners of the content are seeing less revenue. Piracy is a real problem. Without question the bandwidth and compute power of the marriage of these phenomena is a market that has to occur for the digital revolution to continue profitably.  The markets find a way.  You’ll be there for the successful companies that stand to benefit with the highest returns.  These companies will continue what we all know is still growing technology.  Unfortunately for some of the players in the last run, their turn is up.  Many of these companies had a long their term bull run and many are still great companies; but waiting for them to return to “growth company” valuations is not the investment solution. 

The Life Sciences Technology Explosion

New research is fundamentally changing therapies.  The investigation of the human genome is starting to pay practical dividends as well.  Several companies stand to deliver high returns serving the aging baby boomers by actually treating and potentially curing things for which cures have been dreamed of for decades.  The technology enablers and investments may not be who you think.

The Nanotechnology Explosion

This is the future disruptive technology.  But nanotechnology is merely a buzzword for the miniaturization of technology and the diverse markets that stand to be transformed by materials and small devices. Nanotechnology development stands to change every technology market there is.  Chemicals, materials, chips, drugs and drug delivery, the environment, displays, commerce, and telecommunications will all be impacted.  The future stands to be shaped with companies already fueling the research, supplying the tools, developing viable products for growing markets, and attracting capital.  Instead of thinking of nanotechnology as some future vision, I realize it is already profitable for some and very threatening to others.
