  • 12 Cheap Growth Companies [View article]
    Like the general valuation process, do not like the specific outcomes.

    Also I'd add variables relating to
    Dividend yield and Return on Equity

    I'd get rid of short ratio <5

    Personal preference.

  • The Economic Benefits of Climate Legislation [View article]
    Folks, face up to it. Get past your denial of the obvious.

    The "LYIN HAWAIIAN" is intent on selling us into SOCIALISM. his handmaidens the DIMLIBS of the dimocratic party are more then happy to do this.

    The plan is to concoct a take over of the free market system by changing the accounting rules (institute MArk to Market) thereby ruining the balance sheets of all financial and insurance companies.

    Then ride to the rescue by taking over companies, putting in payczars, drastically increasing government "benefit" programs,
    debasing the U.S. dollar to the point where it is so weak the "carry trade" is now using U.S. dollars as itscurrency of choice- inflation is the cruelest tax of all on those who actually have accumultaed assets -

    These increased government benefit programs will be paid for thru inflation and taxes by those of us who have accumulated assets, the benefits of these govt programs will go mostly to minorities, and illegal aliens who typically do not have any accumulated assets.

    Some might rightly call it REPARATIONS, its time for us to enforce the U.S. Constitution, start visitng,writing and otherwise contacting each and everyone of our elected representatives in Congress and the Senate.- tell them we object to being sold into socialism and we intend to take our country back - the next election is in 2010 - and to the politicians, if you are not with us, then you are agin us, and we will vote you out of office. THEN DO IT before its too late.

    PAYCZARS? We don' need no stinkin PAYCZARS.
    Governent interference, we don' need no stinkin govt interference
    Cap and trade? we don' need no cap and trade.
    Free government heatlhcare for illegal aliens and minorities - we don' need no free government healthcare that the rest of us end up paying for

    PS>> Technology to supplement and eventually replace conventional combustion of fossil fuels is the answer. Petroleum in all its carbon forms (coal oil,gas,) is far too valuable to burn. as it is the source material providing the building blocks for all sorts of products like plastics and pharmacueticals.

    SOLAR is the answer. Every 30 days the Sun radiates more free energy onto the earth than mankind has used throughout his history on this planet.

    Every 30 days, Solar is basically limitless,clean,and reliable energy. All we have to do is harness it -as we are learning to do.

    PPS Screw all the politicians they are luddites catering to the bread and circuses crowd,

    Coal is burned to create electricity, electricity losses in transmission and distribution can amount to as much as 90% wasted. (not used for productive purpose, lost in line etc)
    The electric car is charged up with the residual remaining available 10% of the electricity originally produced.

    You need to reduce your elec efficiency numbers by some 90%.

    Also I refer you to the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics that states there are NO perfect 100% efficient processes. That is why perpetual motion machines are impossible, Every step in the production chain has its losses, the fewer steps,the fewr losses.

    combustion,centralized distribution, then battery charging, then driving the NET cost represents the true efficiency of the system, not the gross numbers of a mere sliver of the system repesented by your numbers.

    PS there is no man made global warming. merely luddite lunacy and a con game to come up with new bxllshxt ways to tax us and make money out of fear, uncertainty, and doubt. FUD strikes again.

    PRoblem is = in the words of Martha and the Vandellas = "There's no where to run to baby, no where to hide"

    1)What to do in an environment (global and U.S.) in which the U.S. $$$ will not be worth squat, most all currencies are U.S. Dollar pegged one way or another and so paper money won't be worth squat.

    2)Hyperinflation and a "new U.S. Dollar = $100 Old U.S. Dollars, and possession of Gold in all forms and hardmetals once more outlawed.

    3)All leverage collapses down to 1:1

    4)All municipalities go bnakrupt as RE Taxes fall by 80%

    5)No payroll taxes to speak of coming into treasury

    6)Social Security and Medicare Bankrupt as we speak.

    7)Mass starvation and food riots as the infrastructure falls apart and can no longer support the population = only politicians get to eat.

    Other than a store of basic commodities = guns and bullets.

  • Carbon Credits: An Economic Scam [View article]
    Man made gLobal warming is a hoax, and cap and trade is a Madofff like scheme to make money by trading "rights".. This is OK with the Feds because it results in the largets tax increase in history and transfers power from the people -the market - to the Federal government.

    I have forest land in Wisconsin.-nothing but trees. It emits zero Co2. The guy down the street emits 2 tons Co2 per second, He must buy a "right" from me, in order to continue to do what he is currently doing.

    Net co2 into the atmosphere is unchanged = 2 tons co2per second, I get some cash for selling a "right" -the Trade- and the govt gets a payment in the form of taxes for both my right to make the trade and the others guys right to mitigate the cap.

    A FARCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • As Solar Sector Flies, Pay Attention to Values [View article]
    Solar energy has a bright future, The U.S. government tax credits will serve all providers well as the market gains momentum.
    The biggest players will be the biggest winners.
    STP is both a solar play AND a China play AND one of the largest most profitable suppliers on a global basis.

  • Leaving Green to the Free Market - Barron's [View article]
    Teutonic Knight, And in support of your comments, we can see that the Obama administration has copied the Mafia business model = imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
    The current government
    1)Changes the rules of the game (Mark to Market, FASB157, ) etc
    2)Picks and chooses resulting winners and losers (Corporations)
    3)Offers Money You Can't refuse to selected target corporations
    4)"Partners" up with these Corporations - ie muscles in
    5)Changes the rules AGAIN and AGAIN
    6)Gets more and more involved in operations of the Corporations
    7)Removes management they do not like
    8)Brings in their own management - ie Cousin Vinny
    9)And when the poor partner wants out, wants to return the money and sever the forced partnership.. welll.....

    Sorry, you can't get out of the partnership, and you can't give us back the money.

    Socialism is a train that leaves the station one railroad car at a time.AND it never takes you where you want to go.

    IMO

    Dear Dim/Lib

    Socialists -Liberals want to control everything,because they don't understand how anything works.
    Conservatives don't want the government to control anything because conservatives understand how things work.

    In the words of Thomas Jefferson "He governs best,who governs least"

    BTW I am a Constitutional Centrist, why do Dim/Libs think that anyone who disagrees with them is a "Far Right Conservative?" (sic)

    ROFLMAO

    Mr, Young,, You are factually incorrect regarding acid rain.
    We can all thank the Government = EPA = for acid rain.
    In their attempt to control Sulfur emiissions from autos, EPA mandated catalytic converters. These catalytic converters spew out H20 and S02 and other gases. What do you get when you increase S02 emissions into an ambient environment containing humidity. H20+S02 <=>H2S04 plus other compounds.

    In case you do not know, h2so4 is Sulphuric acid, this came back down to Earth when it was washed out of the atmosphere by rain = ACID rain.

    Now you know. The Free Market had nothing to do with it, it was unintended consequences resulting directly from government edict.

    What is the difference between the Government and the Mafia?

    The mafia believes that when they take your money, they have a moral obligation to provide entertainment or some kind of service.

    The government believes only that when they take your money, they have a right to more of your money.

    Whatever happened to the U.S. Constitution and the Constitutional Republic for which we stand.?
