      GE Lives Up to Its Word
      As a long term (30+yrs) sharelholder, I hope you are right. I am debating doubling down, but so far have not worked up the courage.

      Best info I can find says that the min Tier 1 capital requirement is 4%. Unless this has changed recently.

      Dell To Put LEDs in All Its Laptops
      User 142738, I believe the LEDs being referred to here are strictly for back lighting. OLEDs for laptop size screens are still 3-5 years away for economic solutions.

      GE: Bringing the Electric Car to Life
      Rumor has it that the EV-1 had a manufacturing cost 2x the leasing price which was 2x the market value. Once more the reality hits, the energy issue is an economic problem only solvable by R&D and time.

      A Nation of Morons, Led by Idiots
      Why is it that all of the pundits (airheads) have one answer? It's Bush's fault. This mantra is getting so old. Let's clean out all of the DC parasites and set a new paradigm of trying to do what is right for the country and quit trying to line their own pockets with power and money.

      Sandisk's SlotMusic: The New 8-Track Tape?
      This doesn't sound like a market success to me. Who wants memory chips when I can download software?

      How Bernanke Stunned Congress with the Truth
      The ignorance and bias of commenters is astounding. The real danger here is the removal of risk. Risk is the major cause of temperance in the market. Those who took risks must bear the brunt of their actions.

      SEC to Address Naked Shorts
      We need the uptick rule put into effect with enforcement. We need the Glass-Steagle act renewed with a wall between the Investment side of the house and the banking side with separate book keeping. We need to ban naked short selling with penalties.

      Solar Energy Is Up - But Wind Power Is Also Surging
      Why does no one want to talk about what we do for power on a cloudy, still day? This means that there has to be back up equal to the wind or solar capacity. This is a major impact on the cost of both. Until there is a way to store the electrical energy efficiently, solar and wind will not become mainstream.

      U.S. Wind Power Doubles to More Than 20 Gigawatts in Two Years
      The achiles heel of wind and solar power is a cloudy day with no wind requiring back up power generation capable of filling the void. This aspect is not talked about when the economics of green power is discussed. It does make sense when the product of the electricity can be stored ie. desalination. Presently, there is not an economic solution to storing electricity.

      Sandisk Has Some Explaining to Do; Marvell's CFO Sets Up for Success
      If the world of analysts only understood how difficult it is for CFOs to predict within a quarter what the results will be. A large portion of business in the semiconductor world is "turns" business. That is business booked and shipped within the quarter. This is why it is so difficult to manage a public semiconductor company.

      TV Execs Salivating Over Sarah Palin
      Tom B should grow up and mature some. The rent-a-cops are no more owned by the RNC than the rent-a-cops that arrested many in Denver were owned by the DNC.

      OFHEO: Home Prices Increased in 30 Out of 50 States Over Past Year
      Amazing how an article about government data becomes a political football. But that is what the twits in DC (both parties) have created. Political positioning is more important than solving problems. It must be the water?
