So what exactly are you trying to say? could this be the summary of your well elaborate post.

The latest shake-out in silver and gold may have a little further to go, but for investors betting on higher commodity prices in the longer-term, fueled by strong Asian demand, explosive money supply growth, and negative interest rates in the United States, one should recall the advice of the London trading wizard Nathan Rothschild, “The time to buy is when the blood is running in the streets.”]]> Fri, 02 May 2008 13:15:46 -0400

We've heard the same rhetoric from the National Assoc of Realtors every month for the last 2 years.

Yeah. Housing is just fine. The sky's not falling over our heads.

Listen to them at your own risk and peril.]]> Sun, 27 Apr 2008 20:17:18 -0400

Guess what, 2 other students in my class did the same.

Why? The college jacked up tuition by $140 per class. This means that I have to pay an additional $420 for my last 3 classes (1 in summer, 2 in fall).

Mind you, I've got no student debt and I'm a professional.

Credit crunch and inflation will kill the educational sector, which has been one of the few sectors adding jobs. I believe enrollment will drop and drop-outs will increase. ]]> Thu, 24 Apr 2008 09:30:08 -0400

He clearly states that demand will wane and we know the Fed is almost done with the rate cuts.

Looks like he's a little bit late to the oil party.]]> Sat, 19 Apr 2008 15:42:58 -0400

Interesting article. There's more I'd like to know about the author. Like, what's his relationship with BFRE. I don't buy his disclosure. There is more than meets the eye.]]> Wed, 05 Mar 2008 12:37:42 -0500

Much more simplified and transparent than GLD or SLV. In fact, you get both physical Gold and Silver.

Arkenol's process separates the biomass from waste into cellulose and hemi-cellulose (the main building blocks of plant life) and lignin (the "glue" that holds the building blocks together), converts the cellulose and hemi-cellulose to sugars, ferments them and purifies the fermentation liquids into ethanol and other end-products. This novel process has not been commercialized but has been tested in bio-refinery pilot plants in Japan and California. To this end BFRE has identified El Sobrante Landfill, located in California, where it intends to build its first bio-refinery. The commercial plant is expected to start producing ethanol in 2009 and the company is not expected turn any profits before then. Once BFRE opens its bio-refinery, its profitabilty will depend on the cost of inputs and price of ethanol produced conventionally from corn or sugar cane.

On the other hand, BFRE's licence with Arkenol allows for its CEO to have his cake and eat it. Arnold Klann, BFRE's CEO, is also the owner of Arkenol Inc. This relationship allows him to profit from BFRE even if it does not make any profits while he collects payments, royalties and fees associated with the commercialization and production of ethanol using Arkenol's technology. Although he has invested a lot of equity into both BFRE and Arkenol, he stands to gain the most from the exclusive licencing agreement between the two companies.
