EPA Rejects Congress's Ethanol Waiver [view article]
Speculative activity????? No kidding.
Go To:

AND SIGN THE PETITION.
I am glad the EPA did not hurt the US ethanol producers. Food prices are up because of Commodity Speculation.
I would make Commodity Futures Trading illegal. India has done it with some commodities. Reply

"When we mandate how much Texas charges for oil, he can have some input on how much ethanol we make."And here I had naively thought that socialism was washed up as a concept, especially one would think on a blog appealing to capitalist investors. (And I do not mean that term in any derogatory sense.)
The other approach is to simply let the market determine prices and allocate goods. It is not inconsistent to ask for market prices and no quotas for either oil or ethanol. Reply

Corn is off 35% from recent highs as ethanol production continues to grow. I think this issue has passed. Nothing will change except ethanol companies will start making some profits. ReplyWall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]
Help to lower oil prices so food will cost less too and airlines will pay less for fuel. Go To:www.stopoilspeculation.../

The Governor of Texas, possibly the largest Oil producing state is against the production of Ethanol? What a surprise.Cattle ranchers in his state have to pay too much for corn? Everybody in my state is paying too much for gasoline and alot of it comes from Texas. When we mandate how much Texas charges for oil, he can have some input on how much ethanol we make. Reply

"Perry may disagree, but a report from the Council of Economic Advisors in May said only 3% of the 40% increase in food costs worldwide could be attributed to the diversion of corn to ethanol production."And a report from the World Bank said that "7075 percent [of the] increase in food-commodity prices [between January 2002 and June 2008] was due to biofuels and the related consequences of low grain stocks, large land-use shifts, speculative activity and export bans."

When a company reports a loss, say 10 cents, it is difficult to assess what is meant by "missed by 003" -- does that mean the estimated loss was 7 cents or 13 cents? Replygordon

Your AES info is wrong. AES had a Q2 EPS of $0.37, beating by $0.07. Please make the correction. Thanks. ReplyIs the Ethanol Mandate Likely to be Repealed? [view article]
Back again.I am happy that my investment in VeraSun Energy is up 65% in the last 5 weeks.
And Mr. Subsidy Eye, I see you are Swiss based. Are you interested in U.S. investing or using Seeking Alpha for another agenda? Reply

Subsidy Eye,I appreciate your comments on my "analysis". You have valid points. I will reply on the acreage note, looking at the graphs is is fairly obvious that from 06 to 07 farmers elected to plant corn instead of soybeans. Note that soybean acreage fell quite a bit. I grew up in Iowa and farmers their plant either corn or soybeans depending on what they believe will be most profitable. Also, the first graph in you link shows total planted acreage for all crops pretty level for the last several years and well below the amount planted in the 1980's.
In regards to Brazilian ethanol I find it very hard to believe that the U.S. Congress would ever pass legislation that would benefit Brazilian agriculture at the disadvantage of U.S. farmers. Think about it. Reply

Bouzerdad: The Amish use, essentially, organic growing methods. Great if more producers can adopt those, but lot's of luck. The percentage of U.S. land planted to corn on farms that are certified organic is a fraction of 1%. ReplyIs the Ethanol Mandate Likely to be Repealed? [view article]
Hey, I believe the Ahmish figured out how to grow corn without diesal fuel......lets see what new technology they employ ......or just buy from them....point being the way we historically do things is not necessitate that they will always be the best practice. Lots of efficiencies will be gained as demand and competition increases. Reply

It's a fact of life, and will only get worse... the taxes on oil companies will only rise.Someday soon, I fear that the US Gov will finally do the currently "unthinkable"... confiscate effectively all profits from public energy companies... with a 90%+ tax rate.
They will use their "Warts on Terriers" justification. It will be speechified that back during WWI & WWII there were "dollar a year men", and that nobody should profit while the "Wart" is on.
Of course, by then, marginal personal income tax rates will probably be over 75%, social sec taxes will be over 25%, unemployment will be 50%+ (except for government employee types)...
And smart Americans will already be living and working in Russia, sending care packages by DHL back to their unlucky brethren. Reply

The myth of big oil subsides is just that a myth. There aren't any except for the same tax deductions any company gets. The fact is oil companies collect and pay nearly 3 times as much in taxes as they net in income, much of which is distributed to their shareholders (us), the rest goes into reinvestment and exploration.Last quarter for example Exxon-Mobile Paid $32 Billion in taxes and there net profit was $11.6 Billion. So if you want wind-fall profits just look to the government there take is all wind-fall. Reply
