The great part of humor is you can be totally wrong but if you deliver it by making people laugh they accept it wholehearted and giggling while saying, " that's right, man."
But if we look at it without laughing, lets see which is worse, with the understanding that none of them are good. Secretly selling weapons to free American hostages? Or covering up the assassination and botched up protection of four americans, one being a diplomat, by a terrorist organization? Or your administration being aware of a governmental agency specifically targeting taxes of certain American groups?
Two of these show a systemic infection of lying and intimidation of american citizens by their government and one is an extenuating circumstance attempting to save lives.
I agree, to me the original email is worse. The story comes from some guy reading the emails from talking points and including concepts that existed in the entire email chain but perhaps not that exact email. No purposefully altered email attempting to make it look like the original email exists. The whole story about some genius republicans masterminding the alteration of emails in some dark room is a completely manipulative story desperately trying to change the subject. IMO, of course.
In American history have we ever had a president so absolved of responsibility for what happens in the government? This administration has done a masterful job of insulating the president from any wrongdoing but they could not have been successful without the unbridled support of the media.
How does he get all the credit for taking down Bin Laden but none of the blame for Benghazi, IRS, Stuxnet, fast and furious. A couple posts up we just read how Bush is not only to blame for the bad intelligence on Iraq but also the state government's response to Katrina. He is still to be blamed for the state of the economy five years after leaving office. The media actually used Stuxnet to show this POTUS's "toughness" on Iran rather than criticize it while they wanted Bush impeached because someone in his adminstration leaked the name of a single CIA agent.
Why have both presidents been treated so unequivocally different by the media and in fact the majority of American's?
The stop-loss orders from that mini-flash crash on American Electric and Nextera energy will remain but the data will be wiped-out.
"The only one getting hurt is the somebody who had stop-orders in, a little old lady in Iowa who owns maybe 300 shares,” said Paul Asmar, former NYSE floor specialist at Spear, Leeds, & Kellogg LP, now a unit of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS -0.07% (GS). Mr. Asmar, 52, of Basking Ridge, N.J., said he used to make markets in Florida Power & Light. The company changed its name to NextEra in 2009.
“People with sell-stop orders are going to go home, see they sold stock for around $45, and then check the range of the day” only to find that the official numbers don’t display prices that low, he said. “They’re going to call their broker because they have no idea what’s going on.”
"an overdose of right-wing hate radio, Faux News that sends people so far over the edge of reason and compels them to so irrationally believe any nonsense" -- "Republicans altered Benghazi emails" oh?
The so-called GOP version of the emails consisted of someone reading the talking points to ABC News and they used the words State Department instead of "concern of all equities" which ion that email chain was referring to to state equities. Their is no GOP version of the emails other than what some reporters reported as coming from a GOP reading of the emails.
The liberal media appears to be doing a great job of discovering the "facts" and what is important in regards to Benghazi
Axion Power Concentrator 238: May 21: Axion Power Reports First Quarter Results For 2013 [View instapost]
According to the 10q axion is in the middle of talks with for an alternate provider of their final product as requested by BMW to insure they are not a sole source. i have always felt one posible reason that Axion has not tried harder selling the PbC commercially is because they want to be a component supplier with a strategic partner and the less PbC's that are out their commercially the better for negotiations with that strategic partner. This leaves the possibility that Axion requested Rosewater to drop references to them because of talks with the strategic partner who may be the one supplying the final PbC product commercially.

It's another great article. It made me feel nostalgic for the days when you were writing articles weekly about the venerable AONE, HEV, VLNC, etc. too bad they're gone, not as much fun stuff to write about these days.

Looks like a really good report and the tone seems to be adding a little more color to the ongoing relationships. Perhaps, TG will be a chatty-kathy tomorrow, if he is we will know this APC is rubbing off on him. Charging forward.
In Q1 Soros increased his position in GDX by 74%. It is now his 15 largest position. He further decreased GLD but only by 10% 69k shares, he still holds ~550k, it is his 20 largest holding.
Paulson Sold ABX but then bought calls. He also increased his position in Anglo Gold Ashanti -- it is his 4th largest holding and he opened a new position with calls. Left unchanged his GLD position.
Greenlight/Einhorn left his ABX unchanged ranked 23rd in his portfolio and his GDX position ranked 10th was left unchanged.
This was all done in the first quarter before the massive smackdown on April 15th. I was curious if I would see any bearish bias in their position changes in gold or gold miners in the first quarter.
edit: one last thing, Stanley Drunkenmiller opened up a massive 1,800,000 share position in GLD calls making up 20% of his portfolio allocation. Hat tip to John Vincent for that one. http://bit.ly/144Pl8w

You are jumping a little far on the 300M shares outstanding. This raise put out less than 50M and they have a good 15-18month runway to get to breakeven. The 300M is a cushion nothing more, in 15months if their revenue/sales have not picked up we can start talking about another 50M being outstanding which would just put us just over 200 million outstanding.
Euro-area unemployment hits a record 12.1% in March according to the EU's statistics office. Although the figure is inline with expectations, it underscores the currency bloc's continuing economic woes and shows a recovery from the protracted debt crisis may still be some ways off. The news adds to speculation that the ECB will cut rates this week. [View news story]
The absence of any Spanish debt clearly demonstrates their 27% unemployment rate is a consequence of their frugality.

European austerity is raising taxes and no one around here believes in raising taxes to solve the debt problem. So your sarcasm is just obfuscating the truth b/c the only ones for raising taxes anywhere in the world right now are your liberal bretheren here and in Europe.
Btw, the answer is obviously more spending and debt. Every modern day economist knows that if Europe would have just spent more and accumulated more debt, especially those Southern European countries, we wouldn't even be in this European not-enough-debt crisis.

Yeah, my streaming quotes shows normal bid/ask sizes like Drich reports, but the AXPW stock page in scottrade is multiplying all the bid/asks size by 100, so instead of the 10K ask mine shows 1,000,000. Just wanted to clear up that people are seeing funky stuff and not making ti up -- I believe I have seen it happen before, I imagine it is some sort of glitch but it could be scaring folks into the volume we are seeing, I dont' know.

HTL,
I think there is something going on with peoples platforms or the bidding and ask. My scottrade main page is showing 963K ask @ .2399 and 1M share bid at .2106. Just changed again now 1m bid @ .202 and 250k ask at .225.
I don't know what is going on I thought people were smoking something earlier too but my main page on scottrade is showing some whacky quotes, but I guess they are real because the volume is piling up.
