AND THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION
By Paul B. Edelberg, Esq.
Special to Angel Investor News

recent explosion of trade between China and the United
States is primarily due to the conversion of China's

foreign trade. This remarkable growth in international
trade is about to take a giant leap forward with the

Nanotechnology:
Atomic Engineering Presents Big Investment Opportunities
By Tim Harper, CEO of CMP Cientifica
 Engineering
experts believe nanotechnology (engineering on the
atomic scale) will have a more far-reaching impact than
the silicon integrated chip with many more applications
than electronics. In 2001, world wide governments have
already pumped about $1.5 million in research money.
Nanotechnology is expected to revolutionize certain
areas, such as tools, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals
and materials. Investing in these key technologies could
generate significant income in the next three to five

NEWS
Because
We Care
 The
staff of Angel Investor News is horrified over the
terrorists attacks on New York and Washington D.C. Our
sympathy and prayers go out to all the families and
loved ones of those people who were killed in these
senseless acts of violence. We wish our government the
wisdom to do the right thing to bring the people who
engineered and carried out these crimes to justice.
The terrorist attacks have also shocked the business
world. In our small way, we want to help. We are
offering any companies and entrepreneurs displaced
because of the terrorist's attack a free listing on our
Entrepreneur File and on the ACE-NET Web site, the
national listing service for private investors. We hope
pitching in to restore businesses to full strength will
keep the economy on an even keel.
TO
ANYONE WHO HAS LOST THEIR OFFICE.
 We've
received a huge response from both companies that have
been displaced and are looking for office space and
those who are offering free space. We have space at our
offices and are starting a database of office space of
those in need.
If you have free space, please e-mail me information
regarding the following at jason.calacanis@venturereporter.net
(or call me at 646.473.2201): Square feet available: How
long people can stay (a range is fine): Number of desks
available Number of computers available: Availability of
high-speed Internet access: If you need space, please
call or e-mail me and let me know how many people you
have.
I'm also looking for a furniture rental company to
donate desks and a computer rental company to donate
computers; please e-mail me at jason.calacanis@venturereporter.net.
