Lead Acid Batteries: How Cheap Beat Cool at Google

You were very wise to pick up on this information and publicize this information because... as you say so clearly... no one really gives importance to batteries even if they are part of our daily lives. Good job done with so much gusto!

Energy Storage: Chrysler - A123 Alliance Likely to Spark Interest in Sector

I noticed the news regarding Chrysler's choice to go with the lithium-ion battery when it came out but since it wasn't a lead battery I figured it wasn't good news. From what I understand of your article could it be that any news in the sector is good news? As you say, there's plenty of space for multiple competitors in this field...?

Lithium-ion Batteries: 9 Years of Price Stagnation

Thank you for this very interesting perspective. I agree that Chinese people know the value of a dollar, probably more than we do! I'm all for recycling and improving what we have instead of looking for something that could be better (maybe) but that costs an arm and a leg to produce. It's a pretty reductionist view of the issue, but that's what I understand so far of what I've read regarding the 2 different types of batteries.

Even if it's got nothing to do with batteries but definitely something to do with the stockmarket? I mean... this thing is HUGE. So many things to know!

Well... I'm not really that new at it. I've actually been in it long enough to loose plenty of money because I caught the end of the bull market with FXI... I read a lot of articles and I try to figure things out but... I don't know anyone who'll answer all the questions I have. I signed up for a course a while back and it turned out to be for technical analysis. I'm not into reading graphics, more than just the basic curve that is, and the teacher was a trader so... he didn't want to answer any questions that didn't have to do with the class :o((( I dropped out!

As for this interest I have in the batteries... I have the equivalent interest in solar. I've learned about the different materials and that kind of thing. But... I've also got to learn about how companies function like integrated like LDK that produces its own material and sells its product by opposition to just selling the product or producing it. And then... when companies come out with their numbers... I'm still trying to figure out how something is good, very good or fantastic. Of course if it's more than predicted it's good but... for the rest, ouf...

I'm a psychologist and I can read moods fairly well, so that part of the stock market doesn't phase me but... all this other stuff! At times I feel I'd need a 3 year course in business to just *begin* to know all I need to understand!

As for picking the individual stocks... yeah... I'm also a bit of a gambler but... I've learned the difference between a stock like PG and FXI and the financials (that are supposed to be blue chip but that are tanking) and a stock like NBF (which is a biofuel that uses waste product to produce their fuel) but this also is a small company.

I'll read up on the articles that you referred me to. Thank you so much for answering. I have the impression that I understand a bit more than I did before we started this conversation and that's always a very satisfying feeling.

Have a good day!

Just with that answer, I can tell how much I don't know beans about any of this. You're opening up a whole new world for me. For now... in terms I can understand, does this mean that they are still in the phase of "preparing the product" (and being very cautious about it) before they can think of doing some serious marketing?

Hello John,

Thank you so much for that answer. I will do some reading on the subject because I'm very attracted to everything that's energy stocks and... I love the idea of projecting into the future. I do think that this battery business is going to grow, like the solars and wind and all the other "clean" or "green" technologies that give power.

As for it being the best technology that Axion has... you know... you can have a really great product and never get anywhere. The one thing that this company needs in addition to a great product is someone to get others to know about it :o) How are they with regards to this aspect?

Hello!

I'm not familiar with this field of energy but... I really was wondering why you have singled out AXPW.PK. What is it that you find particularly interesting about this stock that sets it apart from all the others for you?

If you answer, thanks. If not, I did very much appreciate reading your article.

Financial Crisis: Getting Old

I'd be a buyer after the havoc that is going to be created with Fannie and Freddie if they go under... well, for the shareholders that is!

To Oups did it again... The author is comparing ONE stock of the Tech debacle (Yahoo) to illustrate a PLRINCIPLE of what will most likely happen to the financials. In other words, you've got to buy when everything looks likes it's going to fall to pieces. If you wait for things to look like they are going to pull through, you will have missed the bottom.

Can anyone tell me how insurers such as Radian Group and Magic Investments are different from banks or... are they the same? I'd really appreciate knowing that.

Bullish on China Digital TV

Hello Wei! These days, everything is droping! China was the first to drop hard because it had risen too fast. Now prices for Chinese things are beginning to be ok again. It is almost time to buy. Wait until the US is more stable. Recession talk scares people away from the stock market.
