Axion Power Concentrator 235: May 12: Axion Power Completes Private Placement For $9 Million And $1 Million [View instapost]
I have been lurking and listening lately as I had nothing to add to the dispirited conversations. But this news sure brings up a lot of questions. Franchise out the carbon rolling and electrode assembly lines (thinking international/continen... No one will want to have carbon sheets only available from PA. This is exciting and requires much thought, planning and decisions of what kinds of controls need to be in place to protect proprietary info. I know that we won't know anything until after the decisions are made, but now the push for the management contract renewals makes more sense. JMHO, but the cone of silence that we all hate will be with us for awhile longer. http://bit.ly/10QaQLJ

Cat, Cummins, Detroit (bought by Daimler as well as Freightliner bought by them also) and Navistar/International are the large engine companies. Tim, how big would you rate Volvo?

I am not a Psychologist, however, thotdoc is. The APCs would be a great place to observe to write a book about group psychology under differing circumstances and the cycles the participants go through in a long term project.
I have noticed that there are always people that take no news as bad news and others that work off the theory that you always hear bad news quickly. I use that theory with my grown kids. If I don't hear from them for a couple of months it means they are living their lives and working, just doing what needs to be done. If there is something bad or wrong going on the word spreads like wild fire and I hear about it within 24 hours.
I may be wrong, but the no news means that they are going about taking care of business. No need for PR spin or hype (as many CEOs are prone to). Words are cheap and every action doesn't need a PR statement. Slogging through deep mud is only accomplished with persistence and is the only way I can relate to changing over from an R&D company to a commercial enterprise. Kind of like when you paint a car, 90% of a good paint job is doing proper prep or the paint will show every flaw of improper prep and end up being a waste of time and money.

baseball, Another gauge is the amount of premium charged on physical metals. Currently adding the premiums to spot shows a huge disconnect between the price of paper and physical metals. Also the delivery times stated by some of the internet sales companies ( including Apmex and North West Territorial Mint) have risen to unreal amounts of time. The small investors have finally figured out (after MF Global and the Cyprus bank haircuts) if you can't touch it you don't own it.
When you figure in the price of bullion, it has been spot plus a premium. The premium spread has gotten much larger recently. The big decrease in price has been in GLD and futures (paper gold, not physical metal).

JRP3, Your links don't answer the question of adding strain to a strained infrastructure. Here in California, AZ and other parts of the southwest, we have rolling black outs and air conditioner radio cutoff switches controlled by the utilities. The nuc plant on the coast will be down for who knows how long and is putting further strain on the grid. Unless you plan on putting batteries on your solar system, you are just making a bad situation worse. The frequency regulation aspect doesn't take care of the added strain caused by a lack of expensive needed infrastructure.

BW, Sometimes all you have to go on are intuition and a good BS meter. My sensitive BS meter hasn't registered on the scale at all as far as this management is concerned ( misstatements aren't deliberate BS or hype ). There are some other CEO's that I have heard in the last couple of years in differing fields of endeavor that peg the meter. ( I live in California and my meter gets a good work out around election time) ;-)

Hey JR,
Do you always live under a black cloud? Starting to climb a wall of worry 12 months early?

Oh well, just a few random thoughts.

To me the thing that wasn't addressed is an already stressed electrical grid infrastructure. The more EV's built, the more obvious the problems.
