Many people believe that the Avian (or "Bird") Flu will stop all sorts of industries in their tracks. The theory is that people will get sick, others will get scared of getting sick, and many will not show up for work for either reason.

We believe these are true scenarios. If you are looking for ways to protect your investments in a coming "pandemic", we suggest you continue to look at gold (Amex:GLD). In tough times, gold offers a safe haven historically. You should know we've been bullish on (and buyers of) gold for years. The Bird Flu allows us a chance to discuss it again, and we hope that it never comes to it, but if it does, some gold may help ease any crisis in your portfolio.

A couple weeks ago I picked the Activision (Nasdaq:ATVI). I bought 900 shares and stuck them in my short-term portfolio. I bought mine at $12.47 and sold today at $13.70. I picked up a grand in the process. My target was $14.00 and ATVI hit that "on the nose" today. Check out this online video that shows why I bought it.
