Will Terra Industries Become a Leader in Clean Diesel Technology?

I am a little puzzled. VW/Audi has a clean diesel certified as meeting California's current passenger car standards (I believe more stringent than the feds) which does not use urea injection. Mercedes does use urea. Don't know about BMW. Corning has made a few announcements about an improved diesel filter not using precious metals. It appears there is more than one approach to cleaner diesel emission which may in turn temper your enthusiasm for TRA.

Cramer's Lightning Round - Boeing Takes a Nosedive (12/4/08)

I bailed on BA a while ago, although it does pay a decent dividend. I think management underestimated the willingness of the machinists to take the pain of a prolonged strike, and their policy of outsourcing guaranteed further erosion of jobs for union members. The Dreamliner will be a technical triumph and a fuel-efficient replacement for an aging airline fleet. On top of BA's most recent announcement of a further 6 month delivery delay and low fuel price and passenger count, I would get back into BA only when there is some good news or positive catalyst. One plus for BA is that is not completely dependent on either the military or civilian market. The latter does not look good, and we don't know what will happen with the new military tanker procurement, except that it will take a long time to generate revenue. Please note that whether you agree or disagree with my post, I am not simply parroting Cramer, but doing as he suggests, doing my own homework.
