The company Trans Canada is in the midst of building out an enormous Wind Farm in the northern region of Franklin County, Maine. After years of planning, objections, and further review the Wind Farm has begun. The clip (YouTube Wind farm Blade) is simply a view of one part to an elaborate design to capture the wind.

The first and only advanced business school class I ever attended I was advised afterwards to never ask a question in class by one of the regular attendants of that class.

I couldn't help it, in a way I talked my way into the class to begin with. I attended schools where 50 kids to an entire graduating class meant class participation.

The lesson to have learned though was to earnestly listen to the professor. Read the words within, go with the lesson and stay in that space with your thoughts to learn and move on to the next area of matter. It's the sum of the parts that equal the equation. It was a lesson more worthy to first respect the principal of the class.

Lawsuits and stocks are fast to the market action of action and reaction. A dynamic I have never seen before now, touching down on the Rambus case. With IPOs the bandwagon rules the day. With lawsuits there is a staggered degree of steps that dwarf the common measure of volatility.

It simply is not a position to hold the underlying stock and only its derivative thereof.

At that, it is as if there are vacuum cleaners programmed to seek volatile underlying positions to find every piece of action there is to pick up before moving on.

Somewhere, there is another dimension to price change regardless of implied volatility.

But firstly the most vital component regarding lawsuits is the loss of ability to own the stock as a common holder.
