Tom Brady May Be Deflated But Gisele Bundchen and her Stocks are Outstanding

The news about New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's suspension has been all over the sports news. Brady has been suspended for four games without pay due to the use of under-inflated footballs during the playoffs.

However his wife, top supermodel Gisele Bündchen has been doing extremely well. First, she still looks great at age 34, having appeared on the cover of Vogue Brasil. She appears nude, naked, and bare, and besides that, she doesn't have any clothes on.

Heidi Klum Stock Index Outperforms

If you have watched any of the America's Got Talent TV show during the last month, you would have noticed the beautiful, intelligent, and well-spoken German American supermodel and businesswoman, Heidi Klum. She is one of the four judges on the show, along with Howie Mandel, Howard Stern, and Melanie "Mel B" Brown. America's Got Talent was the most successful show of this summer.

Klum is ranked as the second highest paid supermodel, after Gisele Bündchen. She has been the celebrity spokesperson for numerous products and companies. One thing that I have discovered after tracking celebrity stock indexes over the last several years, is that very successful actors and supermodels can have a very significant effect on the revenues of companies that the celebrities represent, which in turn, can affect the stock prices of those companies.

I have tracked the Heidi Klum Stock Index from 2007, and her index has outperformed the S&P 500 significantly, rising 104% since 2007 versus 41% for the stock market. She even discussed her index in an interview in 2008, by WowOWow, The Women on the Web.

Some of the stocks in her index are new connections for Klum, and some companies she is no longer connected with but she had a major influence on their products.

Components of the Heidi Klum Stock Index:

Mattel (MAT) Heidi Klum Barbie doll

McDonald's (MCD) celebrity spokesperson

Volkswagen A G (VLKAY) celebrity spokesperson, made a Beetle blush on a TV commercial

Target Corp. (TGT) TV commercial can be seen on YouTube

Procter Gamble Co. (PG) owner of the Braun shaving products business which she promoted

Nike Inc. (NKE) celebrity spokesperson

Dannon (DANOY) face of Dannon Light & Fit yogurt

H & M, also known as Hennes & Mauritz AB (HNNMY) the Swedish clothing company

Comcast (CMCSA) owner of NBC, which runs America's Got Talent on which Heidi Klum is a judge

You can see all the stocks in the Heidi Klum Stock Index at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com. Not only does America have talent, but Heidi Klum has business talent, both for herself and the companies she represents.

Volkswagen Levitating Car

This is an incredible video about an incredible car. You don't need to have your sound on as there are English subtitles in the video. The young woman who created this invention is at the very end.

The Volkswagen (VLKAY) Hover Concept Car is a pod-like zero-emissions vehicle that uses electromagnetic road networks to float above the road.

Dot Apple, Dot Google, Dot Netflix, Dot AOL New Domains

A top level domain is what you see after the last dot in a basic website address; in other word, .com, .org, .net, .gov, and so on. Now, the non-profit organization that manages the Internet, The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, also known as ICANN, will now allow brand identity top level domains.

For example, Apple (AAPL) could have www.apple.apple in addition to www.apple.com, or www.ipad.apple as a website address. And they are pursuing it. Other companies jumping on the bandwagon include Netflix (NFLX), AOL (AOL), Volkswagen AG (VLKAY), Amazon (AMZN), and Google (GOOG).

It is not just company names that are being applied for. Many businesses have applied for .baby, .baseball, .money, .pizza, .read, .store, .music, and .news. Want to apply for your own top level domain? The application fee is $185,000.
