"Since the end of 2012, two additional OEM’s have moved into programs with us."

Certainly seems interesting to me that they mention an additional two OEM's that are interested since the end of 2012. I hope I can make the call on Monday to see if anything is mentioned.]]> Sat, 23 Mar 2013 19:49:48 -0400

Reason is this; Imagine later this year when a few of their conversions are on the road. Those owners start telling their driver buddies how much less fuel they're using. Those guys tell some other guys and so on. Word of mouth in the truck driver world will be a huge catalyst for future growth, IMO.

As for delays in PR, etc. I'm not worried at all. I've been an IT project manager for years and nothing ever goes as planned. I'm running a multi-million dollar project now that we are delaying a couple months so we can get it done correctly. No different in the battery world of that I am sure.

Should be an interesting year without a doubt.]]> Wed, 13 Mar 2013 17:32:43 -0400

Back in 2007 it just seemed to me like there were too many people talking about how much their 401K had gone up. People I knew who had little interest in the market were suddenly talking about what the Dow had done that day. I started moving into cash when the Dow crossed 14,000. I went back in too early when we hit 10,000 but I stilll had a lot more shares than I had before.

My rule is usually when I am up over 10% I start moving a little bit back into cash. Maybe 5% or so at a time. However, I have not started doing that yet because I have not heard the chatter on the street about the market. When that starts, that will be my sign that the market is getting too crowded, just like in 2007.]]> Tue, 12 Mar 2013 06:56:02 -0400

That's not to say things are perfect, and I am looking at areas to take some profits off the table, but I do believe we'll see 15,000 Dow before we see 12,000. ]]> Wed, 06 Mar 2013 05:57:27 -0500

Only drink if you are alone or with somebody
Only drink on weekdays or weekends
And then only on days that end in "Y".

My dad was a wise man and I have followed those rules for many years.

My wife already calls me a liquor snob because I only buy good stuff. Looking forward to being able to even take that up a notch due to Axion.]]> Sat, 26 Jan 2013 15:34:18 -0500

While I am in the PM bull camp, for now anyway, I always rely on looking around me to get a feel for where things are headed. I do look at government numbers and take them with a grain of salt, but I do not think is a conspiracy of manipulation.

I travel a bit for work, and the difference between now and two years ago is remarkable. Everywhere I go I see packed restaurants, hotels, airports, roads. Yes, perhaps there is more unemployment than I'd like to see, but the unemployed aren't the ones buying houses, cars, etc. And speaking of yesterday's housing numbers, I would expect nothing less for this time of year. Again, I compare the numbers to two years ago. When I look at real estate sales listed weekly in my local paper there are easily three to four times as many. A good friend is a high-end home builder. He is seeing increased business.

My biggest fear now for all of my PM trades is that the fear trades may be unwinding. Sure there are plenty of people who will not sell their PM's until the reach a stratospheric range, but you see by the recent decline in treasury prices that people are selling them and looking into equities. I doubt they are rushing from t-bills into gold or silver.

I do see further upside yet, and even bought more NUGT and I'm looking for a re-entry point after exiting my AGQ position last week. But I'm just not quite as bullish as I was a year ago.

And, I'm certainly no chart expert, but doesn't the pennant your chart shows indicate a major move, but does not indicate with a great degree of certainty which direction? Personally I hope you are correct and that move is up.

Thanks for the article.]]> Sat, 26 Jan 2013 10:37:44 -0500

I'll be very happy if gold drops all the way to $1000. Only if my miners revert to the price they were at those bullion prices, LOL]]> Sat, 26 Jan 2013 10:23:59 -0500

Thanks for the article. While I am not a firm believer in your methodology YET, I do pay attention to what you say. Almost coincidentally I exited my small AGQ position yesterday for a nice 14% profit in a week. I'll start looking for a new entry point and would load up the truck at your numbers. I use AGQ for some short term trading as I feel it has very low risk. I only trade stocks that I feel have nowhere to go but up in the long-term. I'm long the miners.

Appreciate you sharing your work.]]> Sun, 20 Jan 2013 13:24:28 -0500

That is not to say I disagree with the author on these mines. I am somewhat bullish on the PM mining sector and have a good position in a number of them.

Also Domestic energy producers. Along with recovery there is increased need for oil and gas. Like MHR, NFX and PTEN.

Energy storage and alternative energy could have a breakout year once we get past all the backwash from Solyndra, A134, etc. When the market starts driving rather than ill-advised government intervention the clear winners will emerge.

Favorite here is a small battery company AXPW. Also ZBB and XIDE.]]> Sat, 05 Jan 2013 15:46:39 -0500

I'm still very bullish on the economy based mainly on fundamentals, but it will be interesting to see what plays out in the next few days/weeks. I anticipate some panic-selling coming along and will be ready to take advantage.]]> Sat, 29 Dec 2012 12:48:30 -0500
