  • BP's temporary ban from new U.S. government work now includes some wiggle room for the Defense Department: The military may buy fuel at certain commercial airports where BP is the sole provider or “when no other refueling option will meet the mission requirements,” according to the Defense Logistics Agency. The exception seems to suggest BP is "too big to suspend." [View news story]
    Damn! and here I thought Obama was trying to throw some extra business to CVX and XOM with one less competitive bid.

  • General Electric: A Sleeping Giant Poised To Double [View article]
    I think Author is understating the price target of $45. After the extreme profits kick in from the solar panel factory in Aurora, CO that was announced with much fanfare a year ago (and then quietly cancelled mere months later) and the phenomenal expense savings from GE's new fleet of electric Volts from GM are booked, I'm predicting, oh I don't know, more like um, $245!! I say, throw it up there, something's gotta stick.

  • Phillips 66: Strong Refining Environment Allows For Increase In Shareholder Payouts [View article]
    "adjust", I love it. In other words, when push came to shove, they would rather breath dirty Republican air that kills children and minorities than pay a few cents more at the pump. I thought that's what it was all about? No?

  • In the latest drag on Brazil's slowing oil sector, oil companies operating there reportedly are having trouble hiring foreign workers because of criminal and civil cases against Chevron (CVX) and Transocean (RIG) employees. Some prospective workers needed to operate high-tech oil equipment are said to want guarantees of a swift exit from Brazil in case of an offshore spill[View news story]
    Hopefully, President Obama will step in with another $2B on top of the $2B he already gave Brazil so that we can "be one of your best customers". He seems to have a knack for successful venture capitalism, ie A123.

    Shoot me now. HUSA is undervalued? Because 1 nobody analyst has a target of $20 per share. This trainwreck has 5 employees if you count the drunk who sleeps all day. Trading at 20x cash with no real repeatable revenues. The revenue is asset sale one time items rather than performing assets. When is the day that you will just stop pumping symbols that you have done the smallest amount of diligence. Pure crap.

  • U.S. Demographics: Glass Half Full Or Half Empty? [View article]
    Japan and much of Europe are dying cultures as birth control pills, abortion and the welfare state have made other choices possible. Europe will be saved from extinction by muslims. The U.S. is only at maintenance level due to Hispanic immigration whose birth rates decline by the second generation. How many children do you have, Dane?

  • The Rate Of Unemployment May Fall Below 6% In A Year [View article]
    Is Author touting his expertise at predicting the falling participation rate or equating a 6% unemployment with economic success? For 2014, how about a prediction of, oh say, 3.3% bc the participation rate is 50% and half the country has quit looking for a job and is no longer considered 'unemployed'. Which BTW might be why food stamps continue their historic and meteoric rise.

  • 2 Stocks To Buy, 2 Stocks To Sell, What's Next For The Market [View article]
    I don't give much credence to an article that promotes the 7.7% unemployment rate w/o mentioning the falling participation rate. I guess it will be euphoria when unemployment reaches 3.3% bc half the country has quit looking for a job and is no longer considered 'unemployed'. Which BTW might be why food stamps continue their historic and meteoric rise.

    Please to provide update on GE's aurora colorado solar panel plant. Since reading the many articles and press releases a year or so ago, I've been awaiting anxiously for the grand opening.

    Also, how close are we to getting all employees into their chevy volts? We don't need another Sandy.

  • Simply Put, Longwei Petroleum Worth $6 Or More Per Share [View article]
    Thanks. So the Chinese government 'law' that forbids sharing of company documents with other countries is limited only when using auditors within China?

  • Simply Put, Longwei Petroleum Worth $6 Or More Per Share [View article]
    Kevin: Today LPH drops 5-6% before 'recovering' to neg 3. I looked at some other Chinese stocks; others are down 5% (XIN, SINA, BIDU) I presumed on the headline SEC investigation. However, others are up (LLEN, CPGI).

    What do you make of the SEC outcome/time table?

    Chinese firms face uncertain futures on U.S. stock markets. Yesterday's SEC suit against the Chinese units of the Big Four accounting firms could mark the beginning of the end for the U.S.-listed shares of Chinese companies, including for giants like Sina (SINA) and Baidu (BIDU). The accounting firms face a Catch-22: The U.S. requires them to share information from their audits in foreign countries, while China bars them from doing so.

  • Tax On Dividend-Paying Stocks Rising To 74% [View article]
    Excellent idea since those are the supporters of the tax increases, ie, performing arts and movie makers=liberal. Gratuity=younger voter=liberal. Include on your card: There are consequences to your vote.
