    ISV worth a look, good fundamentals, there were spikes on Thursday and Friday despite a bad market. A cup and handle was formed maybe in anticipation of good earnings. Reply

    longhold - LOL that is the best "Modest Proposal" I have read in some time! Spot on! Please run for office so that I can vote for you.

    And why is it that people who support zero population growth are already alive and apparently unwilling to really commit to the "cause?"

    PJ568, thanks for your feedback. We largely report adjusted earnings. This is due to the fact that analyst consensus estimates, which are the gauge by which many judge whether a given company has beaten or missed expectations, are formulated based on adjusted earnings. Reply

    Many of the numbers referenced above appear to be adjusted and not actual. WB and BSX are two that jumped out as being off. One would expect adequate disclosure from the SA Editor about the numbers being referenced. Constantly reporting and discussing adjusted numbers is a sign of weakness that shouldn't be ignored. Reply

    It is amazing that so much of the financial health of the western world hinges on the performance of these public / private entities Fannie and Freddie. I was once a stockholder (liked the dividend), but sold when it became apparent to me a few years ago that I did not understand who the management worked for. If they are a cornerstone of the economy, the performance of their management needs to be judged by a standard of security, not growth of EPS, which drove them away from their government mission toward chasing the returns of sub-prime loans. Then the government wanted them to broaden the size of loans that they would handle. Despite hating a larger role for government, I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that they neeed to be publicly owned and directed. Ugh. I can't believe that I said that. Reply

    well looks like Moody's go unlished playing the rating game again without foundation or facts and just based on speculation. They need to reinstate triple A ratings on some of the bond insurers that were downgraded unjustifiably Reply

    Verenium (VRNM) is heavily into biofuels-Its the leading public company in the field of cellulosic biofuels (from switchgrass etc. instead of corn as the article states). They also just got a US Dept of Agriculture government grant to build a new facility. Their stock is on the rise again- only time will tell.

    How about some more investment ideas, as per "Once again as investors we can "vote with our wallets" and invest in companies that are doing all they can to reduce greenhouse gases and promote the use of organic, non-polluting forms of agriculture. These companies are few and far between, but they do exist and we hope to report on them here. Any comments on such companies that you know of would be greatly appreciated" Reply

    Specialization (be it agriculutural or otherwise) has historically brought great benefits but always at a cost. It is time to consider whether that cost is worth it.

    Consider, would we need so many roads and so much infrastructure if people ate and worked close to home? Would we need a specialist to fix "everything we have" if we learned more about what we use. It use to be very common for people to sustain their own house, car, and garden as well as work a full time job. More recently that full time job has taken up more and more of our time.

    The 40+ hour work week is a fairly recent phenomenon. Contrary to popular belief humans have historically enjoyed a good amount of leisure time. It is about finding a balance...

    I wouldn't say these ideas are half baked. Big agribusiness is not sustainable and is very short-sighted. The agricultural chemical runoff is already taking its toll in the US, with a dead zone the size of New Jersey in the Gulf of Mexico. That means less fish and shrimp to feed the growing demand for these edibles. news.nationalgeographi...

    This is not a liberal or conservative debate. It affects us all.

    And if it weren't for dreamers, we would be in the stone age (think Edison, Einstein, Bucky Fuller, etc.)

    Why would anyone be scared of letting people choose? Is it a problem that Europeans do not want American food? Reply

    Why does "organic farming" need any investment give everyone some seed and a planting stick and let them go to it. The newly elected green party in Germany was very disapointed to learn that they could not produce enough organic and natural food to feed their own people and thus had to revert to traditional modern agriculture to survive. Natural, Organic, and local only food production will only work when we reduce the worlds population by half. I sugest that the liberals who propose such a solution volinteer their lives first so that their goal may become a reality. Reply
