My name is Dr. Walid Amin Ruwayha, I am the owner of Ruwayha TOURISM VILLAGE.

You will find enclosed a discriptive presentation of our Ruwayha TOURISM VILLAGE. Please visit our website (ruwayha.com).

I am taking the liberty of contacting you because we are interested in a joint-venture with a company specialized in the Renewable Energy field. Together, we can manufacture and sell (in Lebanon and other Arab countries) our products.

Lebanon offers a wide array of investment opportunities in all sectors of the economy while its unique location provides access to a large and booming regional market.

The basic advantages of such a cooperation are : 1) To eleminate transport costs, 2) To solve the spare-parts problem, 3) To eleminate customs duty costs, 4) To eleminate VAT fees, 5) To benefit from the Lebanese government tax exemption and other incentives accorded to foreign investors, 6) To benefit from thehighly qualified and very cheap Lebanese labour : The daily wage (Eight hours) of an electrician, with twenty years of experience, is (30-40 USD).

Each summer, my family and I, we come to Lebanon for the summer vacations (JUNE 20th - SEPTEMBER 5th).

For any further information, do not hesitate to contact me.

Any maths Professors out there who can check my formula?

There are only a couple of things scarier than a 'bold' central banker, and one of them is the underlying reason why boldness is required.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/111356-interest-rates-cannot-go-lower-than-zero?source=feed#comment-332866 332866 Thu, 18 Dec 2008 08:44:12 -0500 Do the maths, if you borrow now and inflation devalues money, the repayments get steadily easier.
A Zimbabwean who borrowed 1 Million 10 days ago could easily repay that ammount today, and be left with the change.
In a deflationary time of course it would be the opposite.
Whatever one thinks of Fed/Cental bank actions, you have to admit it's bold to move to 0% rates.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/92491-a-renewed-interest-in-nanotechnology?source=feed#comment-239302 239302 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 11:25:25 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/92491-a-renewed-interest-in-nanotechnology?source=feed#comment-238622 238622 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:26:32 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/82105-china-raising-fuel-prices-unlikely-to-cool-red-hot-oil-market?source=feed#comment-198926 198926 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 14:58:13 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/82105-china-raising-fuel-prices-unlikely-to-cool-red-hot-oil-market?source=feed#comment-189537 189537 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 22:15:28 -0400
Its is all a matter of style, and Americans will simply purchace an additional vehicle. I have 3 now, but considering daily driving, i'll just get another to reduce my daily carbon footprint, for commuter use.

I will still have a vehicle to tow my sloop to the lake, and a serious 4-wheeler, and a styling porsche for a road groove - I'll just change my habits, and today I saw a freakn' Tata motors go-cart in Santa Fe NM and I'll steal one if I have to. The way commuter traffic goes, who needs an air bag? Just drive something moore substantial on the freeway. And save your Hummer for weekends.

Plus, with the money to be made working the crack spread I've already made enough gazz $$ to sponsor a fun summer - at $4.89 a gallon for premium. At 18 MPG

Chill out and expect that the market can work for you, just don't turn your back on it for a single minute. Work it like a cheap date and forget about marriage - buy and hold is just too dangerous, and the divorce could kill you!

Communism and third world oppression were the best thing the US had going for it - but we'll adapt, we're investors!


Survive - and flourish!

Curiously enough, there are more Lambourginis, Rolls, and Ferraris on the road in Southern China than in the US.
The inclusion of India in the auto buying race is appropriate although the demographic data may require a closer look.
The amount of mis-information about China we are fed is astounding, even propagandistic in nature.
Spend a month or two in China, everything you think you know is significantly distorted.

so the smart trade is long these stocks, short uso. all that talk of oil being up more tha n the oil stocks is backward looking and the author as well as several commentators make the very common mistake to write this trend forth into the future - which makes zero sense. rather, the pendulum will swing backwards. slowly, but at some point violently. if oil stays at current levels, companies like xom and cop will have earned their own stock price in less than 8 years. so after 8 years, the investment would have paid for itself. think about that! can you say the same about an outright investment in uso, or in oil futures? certainly not!]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/80538-rising-crude-prices-not-necessarily-good-for-oil-stocks?source=feed#comment-181869 181869 Mon, 09 Jun 2008 11:32:05 -0400 ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/80538-rising-crude-prices-not-necessarily-good-for-oil-stocks?source=feed#comment-181862 181862 Mon, 09 Jun 2008 11:17:00 -0400
I also have a 1931 Amerada (now Hess) annual report. They lost 1.7 million dollars on revenues of 4.1 million. They lamented only being able to produce a portion of potential production due to curtailment policies in effect in almost all of the producing fields. For example the King Lease, Kettleman Hills, CA was completed with an initial production rate in excess of 20,000 barrels per day. However, the production rate was curtailed to about 4,000 barrels per day.

The average price of oil had declined from $1.23 per barrel in 1930 to $0.60 per barrel in 1931.

In the early 1980's, the oil bust resulted in approximately 600,000 people losing their jobs and hundreds of oil related companies going out of business. No one, especially the people from non producing states, seemed to care. However, let the situation turn around, and they howl like scalded dogs!

Now then, the "dim-wit-o-crats want to punish "Big Oil" for making billions of dollars or profits, albeit, it amounts to less than 10 percent of revenues. Talk about killing the goose that is laying the golden eggs! Just who has prevented drilling in areas that could greatly diminish the short fall of oil?]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/80538-rising-crude-prices-not-necessarily-good-for-oil-stocks?source=feed#comment-181769 181769 Mon, 09 Jun 2008 08:31:55 -0400
The so called "less than flattering remarks", I call a declaration of the inevitable War between Iran and Israel. I don't know how you can call "Unavoidable" as anything else. Iran would not retaliate against Israel but could easily close the Straits. Might as well call it a plugged hole with 25% of the World's oil no longer available.

Israel will not wait if it looks likely that a man called Barak Hussein Obama is put into the White House. They will do their damage while they still have friends.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/80538-rising-crude-prices-not-necessarily-good-for-oil-stocks?source=feed#comment-181712 181712 Mon, 09 Jun 2008 03:27:24 -0400
In general, there is more potential upside in the stock prices of commodity-producing companies than in the commodities themselves. If it costs a company $40 to produce a barrel of oil, and oil is trading for $70, that company has a $30 profit. If oil prices double to $140, what happens to the oil company's profits? If costs stay the same (they don't, but let's assume they do, for the purpose of this simplified example), the oil company's pre-tax profits increase 333% ($30 to $100) on that 100% increase in oil prices.

Why hasn't the stock market priced this in yet? As I hypothesized on on another SA thread: 1) most of the oil bulls have been buying the commodity instead of oil stocks; 2) most stock market participants still don't believe $110+ or $120+ oil prices will continue. They'll come around when they start to oil companies start blowing past their earnings estimates.]]>
