Uh oh, I better call my AA sponsor. I feel like buying some more.
This is fantastic news. As HTL says it all makes perfect sense now, the lack of information from NSC.

great idea, but again limited application, since you have to have ample wind close to the hydro station and you have to get past the tree huggers as well. In upstate NY where I am most familiar, you'll never see wind turbines next to the small hydro plants in the mountains.

yo are correct to a point. I've been involved a bit with some smart-grid stuff. Enough to know that it is certainly a step in the right direction, and also that conservation is a whole lot cheaper than new capacity.

Yes, and that's a very hard concept for the layman to understand. I've been in the electric utility industry for many years, and the hardest thing for me to explain to people is that for every MW of wind or solar power you install you have to have the same in nuclear/ coal/ gas on-line to take up the slack when the sun don't shine. I've given up trying to convince my wife. She's no dummy but her response to every energy discussion is to build more wind turbines.
That concept is one of the reasons I am here. Lots of potential.

I was one of them, John. Very nice job. As one who makes frequent public presentations I know it isn't easy. You are a master with words and timing. You should consider stand-up!
BTW, have you guys checked out Bret Jensens pan of TSLA on SA?

Hi, My name is Bird and I'm an Axionista. It all started 3 years ago when I heard about Axion and a patent they received for a new kind of battery. First it was 500 shares, then 5000. Then I couldn't stop. It started interfering with my work, then my sleep. I started hiding it from my friends.
I think I'm all better now. After another 50000 today I'm done. Finished. No more. I swear this time is different. You have to believe me.

Very nice, 48. Just what I needed after doing some reminiscing. Was recalling when my brother called me in the early 90's and told me to put every penny I had into AAPL. Told me to borrow all I could and buy more. It was selling for $13. At the time I owned two houses, three mortgages on them and had two young kids. I couldn't borrow any more and had no spare money at all. You know how that story played out. Of course, would I have held on to those shares if I had bought? Each of those shares would be 4 now, each worth $700. Oh well.
So I pulled up a long-term chart on AAPL, and see that in the early 80's you could buy it under $3 and there was another split there, which means 1 share bought then would be 8 shares now, plus there was a decent dividend back then as well.
As JP says, there are plenty of people who complain about the one that got away.
Anyway, this story is leading somewhere, and that is I have been trying to convince my brother that he should buy all the AXPW he can. I'm just trying to repay the favor.
Maybe in 10 years we'll all look back at how fortunate we were to be able to buy at 30 cents.

At 3:05 today I put in an AON order for 100K @ .3032. Wanted to see if someone was willing to part with that many. It didn't fill, but while I watched, about 50K did fill at less money than I was offering. I really don't need more but willing to buy a big block to help the cause.

Thanks, Doug. Coincidentally I added more CHW today @ 8.22 on a small pullback. I have my CHW set up as a DRIP and will watch it accumulate as long as it meets my yield creteria.

D,
That's hilarious. Apropos as well, as I sit here in my home office waiting to call it a day and wondering what concoction to start with tonight. Working from home definitely has its advantage.

Nice article, Jeff. Certainly agree with your comment about entering a "long-cycle recovery". The one thing I am keying on regarding this last recession is the depth and duration of it. That means one thing to me; when things do improve, and they are, there is a whole lot of pent-up demand that will have to be filled with everything from cars to houses to vacations and new furniture. For example, the average age of cars in the U.S. is the highest it has ever been. Part of that is the fact that cars are built better now, but another reason is that people have been hanging on to them longer for economic reasons. But, they don't last forever.
Anyone with longer than a 6-month horizon would do well to look at areas that will benefit from that. Me? I'm buying oil and gas producers, banks, solid EU companies with nice dividends. All will be winners when this pent-up demand is sated.
