    Me thinking that once the NAS listing is complete the 5% owners may be more inclined to sell? Perhaps Rule 144 and terms of the listing prevent this?

  • The Destruction of the Dollar: It's Nearly Inevitable [View article]
    SUPPLY AND DEMAND You print more money. If the demand is there for it, the value stays strong. If there is no demand for the dollar, it declines in value. Its not just supply that determines value, its also demand. If you think of the dollar as gold, the government can print all they want as long as people still want gold. Even at $10,000 per ounce. I know I will take all I can get. Dont pay me in Euros or Renminbi...I want the greenbacks!

    Does that footnote 2 on their fin st bother you?

    NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN MATTERS

    The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $34,870,307 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. Additionally, the Company has negative working capital of $276,338,151 as of September 30, 2009. These factors, among others, may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

    The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and resolve its liquidity problems. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

  • The Epicurean Dealmaker just says Mao: Time to let a hundred investment banks bloom. It's time for deconsolidation of finance; the more nodes in the network, the more robust it is, with a smaller likelihood of catastrophe.  [View news story]
    Hmmm... when we borrow we generally look for the lowest rate and best terms. When saving we look for the highest rate. Not sure the blooming roses have much of a chance against the redwoods.
