But lets take it a step further, name some worthwhile investable stocks which that will profit from this?

If you actually think this will prove to be The Solution, I would imagine that you are investing in this Future.

Coming to America - Mitsubishi's All Electric Car http://seekingalpha.com/article/130562-coming-to-america-mitsubishi-s-all-electric-car?source=feed#comment-460599 460599
Whisperonthewind's suggestion bears merit. Too bad some inane comment linked it to perpetual motion.

Since when does "perpetual" motion involve a secondary device. Two, that's 2 batteries, per car, one charges as the other runs. Cable switching, Unnecessary, just automate contact switching.

Uniform charging stations or adjustable cables or something else...Solar panels like those proposed by Toyota can also extend Battery life.

$700 Billion in infrastructure spending, Imbed old fashioned Trolly Car tech into the nation's highways. Need a charge, get one on the move.

All sorts of things can be done until someone comes up with a better Battery.

Will anything be done?, highly unlikely. Every state will have its own agenda. So, it will be back in the hands of the Private sector.

The Manhattan Project worked because the Government kept it secret and out of the hands of the Pencil Pushers.

But this Government wants to dismantle those that have the wherewithal to fund multiple research projects. We are screwed.

"SDR Illusions", This is definitely not an Illusion. The Basket which currently exists is comprised of USD 44%, Euro 34%, Yen and Pound 11% each. There is no other definition presently.

What is Illusionary about this announcement?

"Fair-value lying" is a term coined by the author. It is "baseless" because it is the Author's opinion and is not supported by facts.

"Miscreants" I'm quite sure you are familiar with this term as it ties in completely with your usage of "fair-value lying". You Are calling the Governor of the Bank of Canada a Miscreant, is this just your opinion or do you have proof?

"The Treasury is delaying the reporting of the results of the federal report stress tests until Q1 earnings have been reported." This is taken from an unsubstantiated Article, the author of which states so specifically. Your opinion is that this is True, based on what?

You quote Avery Goodman's article as if it were Proof of something or other. Avery makes a lot of suppositions which he acknowledges he can't prove.

But you can?

All in all, what you have presented are unprovalable allegations as if they were facts. You have cast aspersions on people you haven't met. You claim to know more than the Article writers you quote.

And you have yet to retract a statement made in a previous article which was wrong.

So why don't you tell me how "incorrect" my statements are. Lead me to some repository of Truth that only you can access.]]>

The TBoone plan needed and still needs Billions in special connecting power lines from his Wind Farms to the grid. We are going to pay for this.

In the process of acquiring locations, he also acquired the underlying Water Rights. This was well hidden.

Seventh, in its mad rush to build cities, China did what No other nation on Earth has done. They built using different Fuels. A City may utilize Hydrogen cars, another CNG, another biodiesel, etc.

There is a big push toward the EV side. TBoone pushes CNG, Warren Buffett buys stakes in Electric Battery makers.

You have an indicator, when it flashes a Buy signal are you going to ignore it? The next time it turns Bearish are you going to ignore it as well?

Either it works or it doesn't.

It doesn't pay to second Guess what has worked previously. Just an opinion.

The alteration of FASB 157 changes everything, Bank assets which were carried on the Books with a Zero valuation, will now have value. Earnings and Tangibles will increase dramatically across the board. And if the same adage still holds, "the Financials have to lead". Guess what, they are.

Thats the news I was hoping to hear. No wonder oil is moving up.

The glimmerings of hope will give us $60 oil, before the dashing of same sends it back to $50 or below.

Later this year, the July/Aug time frame will see a dramatic increase in Chinese demand on a year to year basis. Beijing VS no Olympics. That's when I expect Oil to rally to $70.

A rise back to those levels, will not be a surprise to consumers.

The dollar is about to crash. Against what currency?

Even the SDR proposals include the USD, If anything the inclusion will keep the USD strong.

The Yen is Down against the USD by about 15% in the last few months and is expected to continue to weaken.

The Dollar may weaken against Gold or as Risk Aversion subsides but otherwise...what currencies will contribute to the dollars demise?

As long as this economic malaise continues, the USD will remain strong due to risk aversion. If Europe were to show signs of recovery faster than our own...different story.

If China/far east recover first, won't matter, they aren't part of the Dollar Basket.

And, If the USA does start showing signs of recovery first, that will only strenghten the USD initially. Dollar weakness? Against what?]]>

I still would expect another Bear punch down in May after the move above 880. (666 to 906, 50% or so correction or back below 800 but with the oct./nov lows holding). With the Financials closing Thursday's up gap.

If I had to make a Full Disclosure, I'd have to list some 50 stocks, ETFs, PFDs, Bonds, ADRs, Pink, Bulletin Board, Penny...etc. I'm not about to list or explain the reasons behind them.

Now, as far as sectors are concerned, there are so many. Unfortunately, everyone wants to hear the same thing about their particular "beloved" sector/stock/ETF. Whatever it is, its going Up. Right?

So I should: Obfuscate, distort facts, revise history, make false allegations or Tell the Truth from a Historical Perspective mixed with Charting/Fundamentals.

Since my purpose on SeekingAlpha is to try to get good investing Ideas, I will do my very best to get rid of those whose treat this site as some sort of Blog to Vent, Rant, scam, or otherwise lead astray the SA Readers who have come here in Good Faith. And let me tell you, when I succeed, It feels really, really good.

I get continuous thumbs down from friends of the Departed, its great to see the results of a Job well done.

So I can give you an Instablog if you wish, pick your Topic. I won't obfuscate/scam or tell you what you'd like to hear.

The Blog would be an opinion based on Common Sense if I did not know that much about it or it could be Factual or a mix, again depending on knowledge of same.

But after I accomodate your Request, you will have to do a Similar Post...judging from your previous comments, I know exactly what I'll ask for.

What are you going to get when you sell? That worthless currency, can you sell an oddlot? I don't know, doubtful.

Physical bullion or scrap? At least with scrap, I know it will appreciate as much, but I don't have to sell an oz. to get just what is needed.

And, currently I can get really great deals for these worthless dollars. Instead of a markup of 150%, markups of less than 20% can be had. (starting with 40 to 60% off, adding senior discount, Day discount, Bonus coupons, getting a store card etc)

Obama wouldn't dare confiscate SnoopDogs chains.

Gold was fixed to the USD. Gold did not fluctuate in price, $20.67 could get you an oz of gold until 1933.

In 1933, by Government Decree, $35 USD would get you 1 oz. of Gold. It stayed that way until 1971.

There were no other adjustments.

But being who you are, you took it the way you wanted to. So if you want Facts, I'll drown you in facts.

BP alone has 160,000 Gas stations across the USA...Alone, By Itself, just in case you decide I'm being unclear.

Do NG pipelines extend to every station? Who is going to foot the cost of either building pipeline access or provide Delivery to them in addition to the normal Gasoline deliveries? New storage Tanks for the Transition along side? Believe me, the environmentalists will fight them tooth and nail.

The fact is that using NG will require the same Infrastructure build that the current system has.

How about high rise apartment complexes in all of the Major cities, where will they be able to fill up? Its not like there is space to be had in say, Manhattan.

You do not have a clue about the costs involved.

Oooooh, we could do... yeah right, fund it.

The only low cost solution is an all electric, where recharging stations could be built vertically without taking lots of space, like some suburbs of London are in the process of doing, multiple outlets connected to an already in place, Electric Grid. Build extra capacity with Wind/Solar, upgrade the entire Grid to handle the new drain.

Now all you would have to spend is at least $10k per new car to replace the current cars(another Low ball), family vehicles. A Trillion? what the heck keep it low.

Either solution, Trillions, a hybrid solution, all electrics for city driving only. Ditto Trillions. Time Frame? 10-20 Years minimum.

No single solution will work nationwide, working on all solutions simultaneously might help us survive the next Crunch. CNG is no panacea.

If the process had started 30 years ago, if, if, if.

It took Brazil 20 years to get where they are today. They had greater incentives.

This recession is the best of times to prepare for a Transition. What will actually occur this year?

Zip, as long as oil remains under $70...zip.

But being who you are, you took it the way you wanted to. So if you want Facts, I'll drown you in facts.

BP alone has 160,000 Gas stations across the USA...Alone, By Itself, just in case you decide I'm being unclear.

Do NG pipelines extend to every station? Who is going to foot the cost of either building pipeline access or provide Delivery to them in addition to the normal Gasoline deliveries? New storage Tanks for the Transition along side? Believe me, the environmentalists will fight them tooth and nail.

The fact is that using NG will require the same Infrastructure build that the current system has.

How about high rise apartment complexes in all of the Major cities, where will they be able to fill up? Its not like there is space to be had in say, Manhattan.

You do not have a clue about the costs involved.

Oooooh, we could do... yeah right, fund it.

The only low cost solution is an all electric, where recharging stations could be built vertically without taking lots of space, like some suburbs of London are in the process of doing, multiple outlets connected to an already in place, Electric Grid. Build extra capacity with Wind/Solar, upgrade the entire Grid to handle the new drain.

Now all you would have to spend is at least $10k per new car to replace the current cars(another Low ball), family vehicles. A Trillion? what the heck keep it low.

Either solution, Trillions, a hybrid solution, all electrics for city driving only. Ditto Trillions. Time Frame? 10-20 Years minimum.

No single solution will work nationwide, working on all solutions simultaneously might help us survive the next Crunch. CNG is no panacea.
