    MGP Ingredients, Q1 2008 Earnings Call Transcript [view article]
    It's sad that a very basic question wasn't asked:

    Analyst: Mr Newkirk, Mr Cahill, Mr Zonneveld, and Mr Pickman, how many shares of MGPI have you purchased in the last quarter? Here's how I think it would've played out:

    Mr Newkirk? Uhhhh, none.
    Mr Cahill? Uhhhh, none.
    Mr Zonneveld? Uhhhh, none.
    Mr Pickman? Uhhhh, none.

    Analyst: Well, Mr Newkirk, you have some generally positive forward looking statements today. What does it tell the shareholders that you, Mr Cahill, Mr Zonneveld, and Mr Pickman haven't purchased any shares this past quarter?

    Mr Newkirk: Well, you know, we have to take our personal finances into consideration here. I'm given a ton of stock options that I exercise when the price is right, that is when I can exercise them and sell them the very same day for a handsome profit! That's all that matters to me!!

    Ethanol and the Future of Alternative Fuels [view article]
    Now, I tend to disagree with Gale's dire prediction in the immediate future. Yes, peak oil is coming, if not arrived. Yes, fermentation from corn is really not sustainable forever. Still, isn't it better that we are taking the first steps with the available technology we have and building industrial capacity to produce fuels by fermentation? Once cellulase enzyme and efficienct coneversion of cellulose to glucose and xylose is refined it will be possible to use the stalks and leaves of plants rather than the grain, and within the same type of fermentors we happen to be building industrially right now.

    The nation's thirst for ethanol, to supplement pricey imported oil, is helping spur the growth of a century-old Oakley company.

    Richard J. Blum, CECO's president and chief operating officer, says, "We've supplied more oxidizers for ethanol plants than anybody else in the United States.''

    Re: Ethanol
    The solid science says that ethanol from corn is not viable as an alternative. Ethanol from corn is confusing the public into believing that "peak oil" is not a real problem. The scientific sources that I trust say that there are no viable alternatives to carbon based energy that can be brought to market before the price of energy sky rockets due to scarcity. The realistic scenario is that the price of oil is going escalate to the point that civilization will turn to coal which will drastically exacerbate global warming rapidly and exhaust the worlds supply of coal. Once carbon energy is too expensive to be practical the world is likely to experience a human die off that will move our civilization back the 16th century. These dire predictions could be avoided but that is not likely because of the greed of big business and the incompetence of our political "leaders".

    Ethanol Stocks: Bouncing Back [view article]
    There's no question in my mind that democrats are pro-ethanol. That didn't use to be the case. At one time the word "ethanol" made people think large companies like ADM whose lobbying was rewarded by large ethanol subsidies. Now when people think of ethanol, they think about fighting global warming. (We can thank Al Gore.) They also think of reducing dependence on foreign oil. The truth is, ethanol doesn't have many enemies these days. Democrats like corn ethanol because they know it is the path to cellulosic ethanol, the holy grail. Everyone is getting in on the cellulosic ethanol frenzy... even the big oil companies. If you have visited sites like InvestInCellulosicEtha... lately, you will be amazed at the huge technological advances cellulosic ethanol is making these days. Reply

    Good overview. I am wondering what role, if any, a Democratic win in congressional elections has upon ethanol stocks. omooc Reply

    Ethanol Stocks Perk Up On OPEC Cut, Production Hopes [view article]
    ADM is worth a small part of one's investment ideas. The others mentioned will be consolidated, because they are underfunded. Something might emerge over time that incorporates some of the assets of the new plants at a nickel on the dollar and finally have some reasonable expectation of success. Reply

    Good short opp for those so inclined. ADM is actually a company that has value, I would exclude it from that comment. The others are fundamentally garbage and should be traded on technicals only.

    Nice inclusion of penny stocks. How liquid are those? Could I move the market in them with mom's IRA?
