A map to El Dorado

Earn off resources becoming more scarce or off alternatives that lead us from scarcity

Figure out where human populations are multiplying

Follow this up with figuring out the danger levels in each populace above which the current consumption levels will lead to serious trouble

Figure out the order in which resources will be consumed

There will be surpluses where resources will exist; these will be jealously guarded by nations, companies etc. Figure out the motivations of this lot i.e. what makes them tick?

If the gatekeeper to the surplus doesn't feel like playing ball, then search for a substitute or alternative

Invest in the dying resources in their order of mortality or in the growing alternative

Figure out at what point of time the growing alternative will rely more on the support structures to ensure it is available to the paying public

Then, invest in the support structure

Stick to this approach rigorously for about fifteen years; re-invest all the money you make back into this theory
