Alternative Energy Tax Credits for the Storage Sector

I have been following axpw for about twelve months. Interesting, interesting and very disruptive. I think there is high potential, especially since they already manufacture the specialized antique batteries in Pennsylvania. Or would Exide find it more profitable to keep cycling through conventional lead acid cells every four to five years rather while letting axpw suffocate through lack of capital and short selling?

Friday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets

Good stuff, as usual. The Soviets are in a bind as much as we are. They own lots of Fannie and Ferdie paper. Perhaps the SEcretary of the Central Treasury called them to hasten their exit from Georgia, or else, no taxpayer backstop of their bonds.

Forex Wrap-Up: Headlines Hurt Stocks But Not Dollar

Do you ever read the charts before you write? How about check the lack of cause and effect between your statements and the currency moves.? The dollar got its boost Friday morning at 8gmt. It went on a vertical ascent vs the jpy and the chf. Almost vertical on the euro and the cad. There was no USA news at 3am. There was some hawkish talk by an ECB member, which might have affected the euro. Asia was diving, which might have affected the yen. By the time the Michigan survey and the durable goods came out five hours later, the move was finished and the dollar was flat the whole US trading session. Whatever prompted the dollar strenght had nothing to do with the chf and the cad, nor the factors that you mention. If the Fed raises, the chf and the cad are still higher. Who is going to come out of that trade because Plosser spoke. He has been speaking a year and Helicopter does whatever he wants anyway. I wish SA would get an fx analyst that actually traded currencies.

The Dead Cat Returns to Earth

I consider it investor purgatory to have to watch that PIcasso painting Bartiromo hee haw her jackass laugh at me. None of those bimbos has ever traded a share, that much is known from their childish pabulum. Yet the market moving rumor mongering the bimbo network panders forces investors to tune in - so as not to be broadsided.

Oil Price Drop: Bad News and Faulty Inferences

I will up your ante. The oil drop back is a counter attack on Boone Pickens. The oil boys and all that suck on that teat became concerned when an oilman said alternative energy is the future.

Educational and Training Services Are An Excellent Short Opportunity

Good stuff Richard.

Pathetic, no, sad.. no pathetic.. no sad.. I can't make up my mind.

Pending Home Sales Help Dollar Recover

Right-o. The dollar gapped downon the jpy when trading opened, however someone decided to bring it up two yen, so it was done, starting at five pm on Sunday. The housing had zero, zip, zilch and nothing to do with it.

The Agriculture Bull Keeps Getting Stronger

You actually print this third grade geography bullshit in here? The third world skinnies now want to eat burgers and those cost ten pounds of corn? Save the digital storage. It's not the quantity of articles, but the quality.

Many Consumer Prices Have Fallen, Not Risen, in the Last Year

It's the gasoline, diesel, heating oil and electric.. stupid.

WSJ to Bernanke: Gloves Are Off?

Crapcake, I enjoyed the article, and you are a spoilsport.

Google and Salesforce: Why Don't They Just Merge?

It's true, you are right, Google had 200 million of sales last year for their online apps. They are really crushing SAP, Oracle and MSFT. And you are right there with them. Larry Ellison and Bill Gates and Henning Kagermann tremble at the sound of your name. Can you do a laptop review next week, mine is getting old and I don't know which one to get thanks in advance, and don't do any more finance, ok, just stick to software reviews.

Visa and Mastercard: The Mortgage Brokers of the Credit Card Industry

Market manipulation runs both ways Johnny. When a herd of money managers pile into, let's say Netsuite, or VMware, and run it up a pole playing Ponzi.

Visa and Mastercard: The Mortgage Brokers of the Credit Card Industry

Jonathan, great point. The short sellers destroyed Bear Sterns, a thriving house with appreciating assets! Bear's business of collateralizing mortgages was growing each month. Those short sellers.

Ok, now reality. JPM overpaid for Bear, and they did it to get nice deals at the NY fed desk, when they need to bring some used car deeds in exchange for Treasuries. Bear's business is finished. No mortgages will be collateralized. Your bluster is a disservice to investors. Sean's article is helpful. He is correct and stated his reasons. If you disagree, then convince me otherwise. The SEC is more concerned with bucket shop operators like you than Seeking Alpha bloggers. You have other people's retirement accounts, Seeking Alpha only has the weight of its bloggers opinions. Go chase momentum with other people's money and convince yourself that you are not a lemming, but an investor.
