Home Security Goes Wireless Web

Old School home security companies better brace themselves. InGrid is giving us a new way of managing burgler alarms that makes a lot more sense to us than trip wires and keyboards on entry room walls.

We have a fairly state of the art home security system but it feels like its 1990s technology. Sensors placed on our windows, 2 boxes placed in important rooms, stickers on our windows a hidden box and a big bell on our roof. Its silly. Enter InGrid's Digital Home Protection which presents itself as the first all-digital, all-wireless technology for home and small business security.

InGrid allows home-owners to place wireless sensors around the house and to conveniently manage the system from a cordless telephone, cell phone, or web browser.

InGrid has just raised $13.5M in series C financing and it has raised $30M to date. The round was led by Armstrong Group and Associated Partners. Existing investors CenterPoint Ventures, Novak Biddle Venture Partners, PA Early Stage Partners and ZG Ventures also participated.

Just forget all of it as we discuss Washington Mutual (WM:NYSE), a stock that looks worse than the fools who stepped in the ring Mike Tyson's during his early fights (you can also add Evander Holyfield and his chewed up ear to the comparison). And yet, we couldn't find a better stock to provide a bigger bang after the Fourth of July and beyond. Some people might think that the folks at tech:stocker have already started celebrating the 4th by recommending a stock that has dropped 38 points since its 52 week high to give it approximately an 88% loss in value for that timeframe. Considering most people would never buy a house again if their current one dropped 88% in value, it's no surprise people have been avoiding this stock as if it got 8 miles to the gallon and looked extremely foolish on today's highways. The reality is Washington Mutual (Wamu) is nowhere near as unwanted as a Hummer and should rebound over the next 24 months. The Hummer on the other hand will continue to...
