      Solar Generation Costs on Track to Achieve Grid Parity
      last year Solar grew 40-50% in production with roughly 4gw produced. Global nameplate electric capacity is roughly 4,000gw=4Tw. solar produces at roughly 30% of nameplate meaning the world produced 1.33gw of comparative capacity. the effective price of solar varies as a function of insolation (sun/sq/meter/yr). There is more than enough head room for even a solar "niche" of a few 100GW, which at a fully levellized parity cost would be a $900-1,000b/year market.

      Managing Wealth During Bear Markets
      For fun you may want to include comparisons with the GSCI, Mar Hedge and some of the spot rolling approaches indeces. Active CTAs have indeces to beat as well. The safest bet is a quasi passive extractaction of the inherent auto-correlation of most contracts.

      Russia: Beware the Bear
      I think the analysis is spot on. Dangers are lurking in a fragile and corrupt regime. The easy money will wash out and nationalism in economic and political form will take over. the next 3 years are dangerous especially for former satelites.

      iPhone App Developers Find Weaknesses in AT&T's Fake Walls
      Most telco's are closed systems by design and now by business model requirement. Does anyone really believe that overpriced PSTN service won't be bumped by IP based services. $0.15 txt messages etc. are the dinasours diet. The Telco's are in a commodity business, they just don't know it yet. The future is going to see telcos eeking out smaller margins as they really only supply pipes. Bits is bits. IP uber alles.
