Surly it is not the same ad shown here in the States, exploding pop bottles everywhere....aggressive, I think not.
SodaStream Reaches Out To Crush Its Shorts [View article]
Gosh, what a surprise. Soda blew the shorts again, came in at higher than expected earnings like it has in all but one of its reports since going public. Long-term this will turn out to be one of the better investments we've made. I do admit, I too join the shorts when the stock gets on up there, but I only do it to ride the wave.

I sure do love this company! They keep setting the bar higher and higher and the shorts just keep falling for it.
Zagg (ZAGG): Q3 EPS of $0.26 beats by $0.10. Revenue of $59.8M (+30.3% Y/Y) misses by $1M. Shares +5.8% AH. (PR) [View news story]
While that may sound good on its face, you'll never amass enough to make a difference. Beyond that, I like shorts, they give me entry points lower than would otherwise be there and exit points when there is a rush to cover. I have no problem selling stock in a company I'm long (long term) knowing that it will fall again and give me another entry point.

Oh thank God! was worried I'd have to sell when Alan left.
I agree that there is a large amount of investment in oil and energy related stocks and comm. However there is as well in metals and ag. as well. I don't like the term speculation since it carries a negative connotation, but so does derivative and that is what the actual investment is in. So I guess we can make it sound REALLY bad by pointing out the fact that it is speculation in energy derivatives, right?
Anyhow, such as it is, with so many bonds and T-Bills being low or no return, the market has turned to high yields and comm. is a pretty easy way to get into it and an attractive return with the volatility that it runs. We still have not seen Gold fully correct and won't for a while, or corn for that matter.
no. That is a complete false thought. Sure you will save a little on gas, but no. 1 that is minimal and 2 it does not outweigh the loss to the economy. Better than that, most people that complain about the price of gas cannot even figure out how much it matters to them. And complain about the 2 cent per gallon hike while driving 40 miles one way to meet friends at the local coffee shop to pay 4.00 for a cup of coffee. I expect readers here to actually know how to calculate the amount of gas they buy a year, but very few do. The increase in food cost is much more and even when you take out for transportation the ratio is still up in the 1:1.5 range on increase. The price of oil tanks and the price of Nat. Gas goes up, all the new start-up manufacturing plans will be put on hold. I cannot put a hard number on it, but a good percentage of the interest in oil cost is only because of gasoline and only because the media reports it all the time, and only because it is something everyone can relate to and see every day. If the news reported the cost of corn each day it would be the same with corn, or X, the product matters little while the perception is everything. Run a graph on the actual price of oil to gas and the amount it actually effects you and you'll be flat shocked at how little it is.
If it hits 75 or below we will begin to see a larger unemployment picture. Oil field related jobs have proped up the numbers for a long time and if rigs begin to shut down a lot of doors will close. Many don't realize how much depends on decent oil prices.
A123 (AONE +27.1%) shares roar higher after Wanxiang President Ni Pin says his company is still interested in taking over A123 despite the company filing for Chapter 11 this week and calling off its investment deal with the Chinese autoparts firm. Ni tells Bloomberg that the filing may make A123 more attractive. "Bankruptcy court is like a filter that lets a dirty big boy covered with mud go through it and turn himself into a clean boy," Ni says. [View news story]
no. If they cannot sell the assets or save the company then yes, but if someone buys it then the shareholders get it.
Wanxiang Group intends to outbid Johnson Controls (JCI) for A213's (AONE) automotive-business assets and replace the U.S. company as the "stalking horse" bidder. The Chinese company announced its intention at a court hearing yesterday following A123's filing for Chapter 11. At the hearing, A123 won approval to borrow up to $15.5M in interim financing from Johnson Controls. [View news story]
I think whomever will pay the most should be the winner. If JCI thinks it can do better than WG then they need to up the bid.

40% is 40% regardless of the pennies. If I have $1000.00 invested at $10.00 share and it moves 40% or I have $1000.00 invested at $0.01 per share no matter how you cut it a 40% move still equates to a $1400.00 value.
