    • Toyota To Add Solar Panels On Prius [view article]
      I don't know why the American car makers are so short sided. Living in the SF Bay Area, companies are always trying to improve. Detroit killed itself and its communities with their short sided strange outmoded business models. No risk,creativity, or enginuity. Maybe the Bay area will be the next automobile center of USA with Tesla setting up shop. Soon all a candidate will have to do is win CA to become president because the rest of the country will live here if they want to work. R.I.P. - GM, F. Henry, we are sorry for not making you proud. So so so sad. Isn't it funny how the US executives in the automotive and banking make ten times what the Japanese executives do. We need CEOs with engineering degrees. Jul 08 05:51 AM
    • My Nutrisystem Bonehead Move [view article]
      That was my best investment of 2008. I did buy at the very bottom, but probably sold off a little too fast.

      Looking forward, I think we're at at the same place now for TPX, I have taken a 50% position at this point @$10.00. please give me your opinion. They are paying a 3% dividend it is soo cheap, so if it doesn't go anywhere, it is better than a bank account return. You can rest on this stock literally. If is goes down to $9.00, double down, go to sleep, and wake up a little richer.       Jun 02 12:17 AM
    • Tele Norte: Grossly Undervalued Global Telecom Gem [view article]
      Wow! Where did my angels go. I decided to invest in this Grossly undervalued stock monday morning........ thinkin' I would start playing it safe with the tumultuous market. I could not have timed it worst. Didn't even bother to put stops on it yet. Lost the most I have ever have in one day, it was like 1929 again, do they even have a word for a undervalued stock that is more then "Grossly" undervalued .....apparently it was not as grossly undervalued as the rest of the investing community thought. It seemed like a great idea. 7.5 PE for a company growing fast, that was 15 % below peak value, article made sense, didn't realize a buyout was going on. Can anybody shed some light.

      Well does anybody have some advice for me here, has the whole gamed changed now with this buyout..... Is this not a good thing going forward, I am totally lost.

      People tell me good things happen to good people, and bad things happen to bad people..... Kharma you know. I feel like I must be a very bad person.......Actually bad things happen to people who don't know what the hell they are doing, and I guess that is me, this investing is kicking my butt.

    • The Crude Oil Price Disconnect [view article]
      All the countries the article references for slowing populations are in industrialized countries, but population is growing fast in the developing countries where use of energy is growing exponentially. We are growing by 80,000,000 people a year globally. That is 30% of united states population every year. Compare that do the fact that there are a couple hundred right whales left in the world. Plant and animal extinction has exponentially grown as well. Yes we are over populated based on our preferred life style choices. Could not disagree with you more. Your viewpoint is western euro-centric, versus total world vision, and we are now sharing the oil pie with everyone.

      You may be right in the end though. Spain is close to providing 40% of their electrical needs from wind. I am not as sure as you,about the never ending abundant supply with this backdrop. There are so many variables. I imagine we are due for a correction. I am ok though with it not going down. Oil price success will be its death, the sooner the better, and hopefully, that won't be true for us as well.
