AVOCA, IRELAND, January 24, 2013 (Press-News.org) Rising Sum, the investment specialist, has launched a platform (risingsum.com) that identifies investment opportunities using the acquisition criteria favoured by Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffet's highly successful investment vehicle.
At risingsum.com investors can identify true value investments by either using the platform's standard screening template, or by adjusting the settings to find companies that meet individual investment styles and preferences.
Investors can also enter their stocks into the system and find out if any of their existing holdings would pass the Buffett test, the Berkshire Hathaway acquisition criteria. For a more detailed explanation of how Rising Sum works and a snapshot of a portfolio go to - www.risingsum.com/RisingSumExample.pdf
Spotting a gap in the market, Brian Kelly, founder and CEO of Rising Sum, said: "We're the first platform provider to use the investment model used by Warren Buffett and take a really fresh look at Value Investing. From our research we can see that, at any given time, 1% of companies in any index will be in the 'Buffett zone'. "
Kevin Ashby, chairman of Rising Sum, commented: "Independent financial advisers, money managers, asset managers, educators, banks and brokers can use the platform to provide their clients with valuable insights on a wide range of companies. Rising Sum's technology will help guide investment decisions with the same focus and precision that has proved so successful for Warren Buffett."
Rising Sum was founded in 2011, when Kelly created a proprietary investment screening technology called Alpha Slopes. This identified both Lubrizol and IBM as value investments before Warren Buffett invested close to $20 billion in these companies. Alpha Slopes enable investors to search for companies with consistent Returns On Equity and Earnings Power, the keys to identifying value investment opportunities.
Retail investors can also subscribe to Rising Sum's top 1% index portfolios, which identify the best value investment opportunities in the UK and US markets. We include value scores for those companies in the top 10% of each index, and select the top 1% for our portfolios. Subscription services begin at EUR29.99 per month.

Students Teach the World About Space Station Science
2013-01-24
What an inspired idea -- let students teach and share with others the interesting research astronauts do on the International Space Station, or ISS. After all, today's students are the future explorers and innovators of scientific discovery, space exploration, and technological innovation. There is often nothing more gratifying to a kid or young adult than sharing what they know with others -- particularly their parents, teachers or friends.
While the orbiting lab is breaking ground on scientific and technological exploration fronts, time is made for educational endeavors, ...

Prediction of Asian summer monsoon rainfall and tropical storm activity close at hand
2013-01-23
The amount of rainfall and number of tropical storms during the summer monsoon season greatly impact the agriculture, economy, and people in Asia. Though meteorologists and climate scientists have worked for years to develop helpful prediction systems, seasonal predictions of these two types of weather phenomena are still poor. Scientists working at the International Pacific Research Center, University of Hawaii at Manoa, have now made a promising breakthrough for predicting in spring both the summer monsoon rainfall over East Asia and the number of tropical storms affecting ...
Residents near Chinese e-waste site face greater cancer risk
2013-01-23
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Residents living near an e-waste recycling site in China face elevated risks of lung cancer, according to a recent study co-authored by Oregon State University researchers.
Electronic trash, such as cell phones, computers and TVs, is often collected in dumps in developing countries and crudely incinerated to recover precious metals, including silver, gold, palladium and copper. The process is often primitive, releasing fumes with a range of toxic substances, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs, a group of more than 100 chemicals.
PAHs, ...
Plants adapt to drought but limits are looming, study finds
2013-01-23
Scientists with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, or USDA, and their partners have determined that water demand by many plant communities can fluctuate in response to water availability, indicating a capacity for resilience even when changing climate patterns produce periodic droughts or floods.
But their research also suggests that a limit to this resilience ultimately could threaten the survival of these plant communities. Sensitive environments such as the arid grasslands in the Southwestern U.S. already are approaching this limit.
Results from this study were published ...
Immune cell death defects linked to autoimmune diseases
2013-01-23
Melbourne researchers have discovered that the death of immune system cells is an important safeguard against the development of diseases such as type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, which occur when the immune system attacks the body's own tissues.
The finding suggests that these so-called autoimmune diseases could be treated with existing medications that force long-lived immune system cells to die.
In the development of the immune system, some cells are produced that have the potential to attack the body's own tissues, causing autoimmune disease. The death ...
CSIRO telescope takes temperature of Universe
2013-01-23
Astronomers using a CSIRO radio telescope have taken the Universe's temperature, and have found that it has cooled down just the way the Big Bang theory predicts.
Using the CSIRO Australia Telescope Compact Array near Narrabri, NSW, an international team from Sweden, France, Germany and Australia has measured how warm the Universe was when it was half its current age.
"This is the most precise measurement ever made of how the Universe has cooled down during its 13.77 billion year history," said Dr Robert Braun, Chief Scientist at CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science.
Because ...
Studies provide insights into inherited causes of autism
2013-01-23
The most consistent finding of autism research lies in the revelation that the disorders are incredibly complex. Two new studies in the January 23 issue of the Cell Press journal Neuron that add to the growing appreciation of this complexity focus on identifying inherited genetic mutations linked with autism spectrum disorders. The mutations—which are distinct from the spontaneous mutations that have been the focus of previous studies—may provide valuable insights into the causes of autism.
"It's long been known that autism is a heritable condition and that some cases ...
New brain circuit sheds light on development of voluntary movements
2013-01-23
DURHAM, N.C. – All parents know the infant milestones: turning over, learning to crawl, standing, and taking that first unassisted step. Achieving each accomplishment presumably requires the formation of new connections among subsets of the billions of nerve cells in the infant's brain. But how, when and where those connections form has been a mystery.
Now researchers at Duke Medicine have begun to find answers. In a study reported Jan. 23, 2013, in the scientific journal Neuron, the research team describes the entire network of brain cells that are connected to specific ...
Whole-exome sequencing identifies inherited mutations in autism
2013-01-23
Boston, Mass. - While autism clearly runs in some families, few inherited genetic causes have been found. A major reason is that these causes are so varied that it's hard to find enough people with a given mutation to establish a clear pattern. Researchers at Boston Children's Hospital have pinpointed several inherited mutations—among the first to be identified—through an unusual approach: using whole-exome sequencing to study large Middle Eastern families with autism.
The study, published in the January 23 issue of the journal Neuron, also found evidence for some of ...
