Asia stocks tumble, Tokyo hits 28-year low amid global rout

By Chikako Mogi | Reuters – 1 hr 25 mins ago


TOKYO (Reuters) - Asian shares tumbled on Monday, pushing the broader Tokyo market to a 28-year low, as investors extended a rout of global stocks and worried about a nightmare scenario of euro-zone breakup, U.S. economic relapse and a sharp slowdown in China.

Tokyo's broader Topix index lost 2.1 percent to 693.35, a level not seen since late 1983, as Asian markets plumbed new lows for 2012. Japan's Nikkei average fell 2 percent after last week marking its ninth straight week of losses, the longest such losing streak run in 20 years.

Investors continued to head for the relative safety of bonds after weak U.S. jobs data on Friday sparked a global stampede out of equities and hit the euro and some risky currencies hard.

The MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan plunged 2.2 percent to their lowest since December. And U.S. stock futures pointed to yet more selling when investors wake up in North America on Monday, with S&P 500 futures down 0.8 percent in Asian trade.

The euro and the Australian dollar, which is closely linked to risk appetite, staged only meek recoveries from their battering on Friday when the Australian currency hit eight-month lows. The yen, perceived as a safer currency in times of crisis, retreated from its highs against the dollar.

Overall, though, investors hedged against global financial and economic crisis, heading for havens such as the benchmark 10-year Japanese government bond whose yield fell below 0.80 percent to its lowest since July 2003. Ten-year JGB futures prices jumped to a 19-month high.

U.S. and German government bond yields had both hit record lows on Friday.

Analysts said the flight to bonds was expected to continue until clarity emerged on issues such as the outcome of Greek elections due on June 17 and the recapitalization of European banks, now in the shadow of a Spanish banking crisis.

"It's not an issue of risk-on or risk-off anymore, it's nervousness all over until a clear direction emerges on a long-term trend," said Hisamitsu Hara, chief FX manager at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ.

"Currencies are locked in ranges with high volatility, with both the euro and the dollar facing limited upside due to their problems, while the yen's upside is also capped by wariness about intervention," he said.

U.S. job growth braked sharply for a third straight month in May and the jobless rate rose for the first time in nearly a year, with 69,000 jobs added to payrolls last month, the least since May last year. As well, 49,000 fewer jobs were created in the previous two months than had been thought.

"We may even see more talk of the need for additional quantitative easing," Standard Chartered Bank said in a research note, adding that the data had given ammunition to doves ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy meeting on June 19-20.

The median of forecasts from 15 primary dealers - those institutions that do business directly with the Fed - showed a 50 percent chance the central bank would eventually launch another round of quantitative easing, up from 33 percent on May 4, according to Reuters polling.

The weak U.S. data followed poor Chinese manufacturing data and dismal European reports on factory activity. Markets had already been on edge over the deepening euro-zone crisis.

Spot gold was down 0.5 percent at $1,616.99 an ounce on Monday after posting its biggest one-day rally in more than three years on Friday.

The yen stood at 78.18 yen against the U.S. dollar on Monday, off a 3-1/2 month high of 77.65 yen hit on Friday. It stood at 96.99 against the euro, after climbing to its highest since December 2000 of around 95.59 yen on Friday.

The euro was at $1.2410 on Monday, recovering from Friday's low of $1.2288.

"The evolving global slowdown amidst global sovereign financing dilemmas has pushed the yen back into 'super yen' territory, signaling extreme pressures," said Richard Hastings, macro and consumer strategist at Global Hunter Securities, adding that he saw little relief in the euro/yen pair.

"If the European situation worsens, then the global interest rate and policy solutions would require coordinated actions by the Bank of Japan and the Federal Reserve to assure access to U.S. dollar money markets, otherwise risk a contraction in global trade," he said.

Analysts are closely watching several monetary policy meetings due this week, including the European Central Bank on Wednesday and Bank of England on Thursday, for clues on their responses to vulnerable global growth.

U.S. crude futures fell 1 percent to $82.35 a barrel on Monday, after hitting its lowest level in almost eight months on Friday. Brent eased 0.6 percent to $97.83.

Conn. subsidies seen spurring home solar power

By STEPHEN SINGER | Associated Press – 12 hrs ago


HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Dmitri Donskoy figures he'll save only $20 a month on his electricity bill after solar panels are installed on the roof of his home under a state-subsidized program. But he shrugs it off because the green energy appeals to his environmental concerns.

Donskoy, a software developer in Prospect, said he was motivated to go solar after Connecticut officials killed a wind turbine proposed for the town last year.

"It was partly sparked by my annoyance of the cancellation of the windmill project," he said. "There must be a way for us to contribute."

Installing solar panels could cost, on average, $35,000, according to a state energy agency spokesman. Donskoy says he's leasing because he doesn't have thousands of dollars to spend, instead paying a solar company $58 a month for his electricity.

"The savings didn't motivate me. It's really the environmental aspects," Donskoy said.

Solar energy is seen as one way to save in Connecticut, where residential electricity costs were the third highest in the United States in 2010, exceeded only by Hawaii and New York, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Solar represents a fraction of the state's overall energy supply, but backers hope it will grow.

Connecticut ratepayers are subsidizing a state solar power initiative that has spent $2.5 million to install rooftop solar panels for 209 homes. At least one solar energy company has set up shop in Connecticut to scout for business.

On Friday, the Clean Energy Finance and Investment Authority announced it will spend $10 million for 5.6 megawatts of additional residential solar panels. Spokesman David Goldberg, said state subsidies represent about one-third of the total cost of solar panel installations. Homeowners and businesses pay $4.3 million to install or lease solar panels.

The goal is to generate up to 30 megawatts of residential solar power in 10 years — with a potential cost of $90 million. Goldberg says backers believe that can be achieved sooner.

"The whole game is to leverage as much as possible," Goldberg said.

The state program provides an average of one-fourth to one-third the cost of residential rooftop solar panel installations, he said. With federal tax credits covering another 20 percent, the average $35,000 bill could be cut in half, Goldberg said.

Donskoy's system, which provides one-third of his electricity use, is typical.

Most homeowners want a system that displaces all their electrical use, said Mike Trahan, executive director of Solar Connecticut, an industry group. But that's rarely possible because of how much roof space that would require, the amount of shade and other factors, he said.

More typically, a solar system can displace as much as 70 percent of their electric bills, Trahan said. Homeowners can expect a return on their investment in 10 years, he said.

Systems such as Donskoy's can be leased for no money down, Trahan said, with various payment arrangements.

Connecticut is one of 13 states along with Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico that offers rebates for solar installations. In Maine, residential or commercial owners and tenants receive $500 for each 1,000 kilowatt hours produced, up to $2,000 for residences and $4,000 for commercial use, the Energy Department says.

Rebates of up to $4,250 are paid in Massachusetts for residential solar use.

Federal tax credits also are available.

The cost of domestically produced solar panels has plummeted because of Chinese competition.

While manufacturers may be struggling, installers are flourishing because prices are so low, said Philip Jordan, chief business officer at BW Research Partnership, an economic development and market research firm.

In states where electricity is costly, subsidies are greater and more solar panels are being installed, he said. That fits the pattern for Connecticut as lawmakers and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy enacted the energy legislation last year in response to complaints that energy deregulation in the late 1990s fell short and did little to keep electricity rates down.

The clean energy fund was one of several changes in state energy policy that also merged two agencies and brought the state into the purchase of power with Connecticut's two major utilities.

Glenn Martin, owner of GM Industries, a Tolland manufacturer of heating, cooling and solar tracking equipment, said his company is benefiting from the state program because it allows consumers to spend less of their own money.

"The weak economy is having an effect on all businesses, but we are busy," he said.

Use of solar energy in the U.S. has risen significantly, from 0.7 percent to 2.5 percent over the last few years, but still represents a small percentage of overall energy sources, Jordan said. Utilities choose from among hydroelectric power, coal and natural gas to run power plants, but incentives could eventually stimulate enough solar power to make a difference, Jordan said.

That appeals to Donskoy's environmental concerns after the Connecticut Siting Council rejected a proposed wind power project in Prospect last year, citing the visual impact.

"My own personal philosophy is to tread as lightly as I can," he said.

Solar-Panel Installer SolarCity Plans To Go Public
Monday 30 April 2012


California solar-panel installer SolarCity Corp. said Monday that it plans to file for an initial public offering.

The San Mateo, Calif., company said it filed confidential draft registration documents last week with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It was unclear when the company planned to file public registration documents and when it plans to go public.

A SolarCity spokesman declined to provide details beyond a brief prepared statement.

The filing comes at a time of great strain for solar-panel manufacturers, as prices and profits have plunged amid a global oversupply of panels and relatively weak demand.

Investors and solar-panel installers such as SolarCity have fared much better as they've been able to take advantage of federal and state government subsidies, like tax credits, while prices for solar panels and other equipment have cut development costs. (but not clear skies, why?) However, the bankruptcy last September of California solar-panel maker Solyndra LLC, which spent more than $500 million in federal clean-energy loans, led to political controversy over government support for renewable energy firms, which has created uncertainty about future subsidies.

As the majority of global demand for solar power has relied on government subsidies, which have declined, stock-market investors have viewed solar firms with caution.

California solar-thermal power developer BrightSource Energy Inc. cancelled a planned IPO earlier this month over tepid interest from stock market investors. BrightSource uses a different technology than solar panels.

Signs that the IPO market was turning away from alternative-energy companies emerged in late March, when Enphase Energy Inc. (ENPH), which makes electrical inverters for solar-panel systems, proceeded with its IPO, but had to sell its shares for half their initial target price. Enphase sold nearly 9 million shares for $6 each, down from the company's earlier price range of $10 to $12.

SolarCity equity investors include Draper Fisher Jurvetson, DBL Investors, Generation Investment Management LLP, Silver Lake Kraftwerk and Valor Equity Partners, among others. Elon Musk, founder of Paypal, SpaceX and Tesla Motors Inc. (TSLA), where he is chairman and chief executive, also has invested in SolarCity, where he serves as chairman. Musk also has family ties with the solar firm as a cousin of SolarCity co-founders and brothers Lyndon Rive, chief executive, and Peter Rive, chief operational officer and chief technology officer.

SolarCity has raised hundreds of millions of dollars in investment financing for solar-power projects from U.S. Bancorp (USB), Rabobank, Google Inc. (GOOG), Citigroup Inc. (C) and other investors.

Founded in 2006, SolarCity says it has more than 30,000 solar-power projects completed or under development in Arizona, California, Colorado and other states.

How does Mr. Green get up in the morning?

I think in one week we'll be delisted to the pinks

The pps is telling everyone the CEO here is pinned under the crushing weight of pile of solar panels.

On the plus side, VFIN is staying far away from the best offer...



This is way worse than during the 2008/2009 credit crises as the pps shows.

any R/S will result in all longs loosing everything

I don't think Ezra will go that route. I also don't think Ezra has the know how to file sec reports. Just because he took over as CFO doesn't mean he's capable of that function.

I'll wager we get delisted to the pinksheets where Ezra won't have to report any more. Then he'll probably double or triple the AS and do some dilutive discounted share selling to try it one more time.

That's our best hope I'm afraid.

The pps says we are already a stinky pinky, lol

MM's are getting antsy

LOL

The CEO must be an alcoholic is all I can think

Might as well trash talk all we want now the chart is ruined AGAIN.

They lost their over priced office ($9,521 per month) that they never needed

The board of directors bailed.

The CFO walked.

No press releases since early last October

They terminated installation of residential solar systems and suspended further sales of commercial solar projects due to a lack of funding.

Didn't even bother to file the required late form that they need more time (for the 10k)

Looks like CSKH will be moving down to pinky land and Mr. Green just sits on his favorite bar stool mumbling something about how great his company was.

This week last year the CEO sold tons of stock for a boatload of cash. The result of putting that cash to work for his shareholders in 20011 was nil to none. Me thinks he blew most of it at his favorite gin mills and strip clubs

They didn't even bother to file that they were filing late.

http://sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=Clear+Skies+Holdings&action=getcompany

Maybe they are going for the automatic delisting?

Our flag is getting long in the tooth. The chart is ripe for a move up with diluters off the best offer for some time now.
Now would be a good time for the CEO to address his shareholders if he'd like to see his company's pps go UP!
The moving averages are leveling out and ready for accent. If only there was a reason to buy this thing.

they always file late, so nothing new there.

the pps is holding up nicely so just maybe something good is in the works

you just know that it's time for them to raise money again and that's best done in a positive environment

the chart is telling us higher!

we're expecting BREAKOUT

10k due 3/31, hopefully that will provide the fuel for a sustained move up. Sellers are showing us (via L-II) that they are ready to move this!

disclaimer: This could imploded too. Every penny stock is basically a crap shoot, lol.

saw that double bottom too, but its ancient history now. could be a sizable retrace here if the economy stutters with $4 + gas

$10 will be a tough nut to crack, at least that's what the shorts will be betting.

crazy volume!

BAC has a golden cross on the chart

However the round number $10 it putting up some stiff resistance

The 50ma is crossing the 200ma

Nice bull flag forming as well

all systems go for launch

sellers backing off nicely

wow, I think you could have had that as a disclaimer at the bottom of all your LCRE posts

Chart looking sweet. sellers (whats left of them) are playing ball and not crushing the pps,
hence the chart reflects it in a positive way. Everyone knows in the pennies its all about the
dilution sellers. They have the power to crush, or lead higher. LII shows without doubt they
are in the process of leading CSKH higher.

I now see a cup and handle forming on your chart



VFIN has been off the best offer 5days running.
UBSS owned the .0030 best offer for 4 days and was moved at the open with a 1.15M print.
Now its HDSN's turn at bat. If he's going to play ball too, he'll leave home plate when he gets a hit, lol.

chump change bid prints today.

USBB who was guarding .0030 all last week was taken out at the open

he's now offering five cents, lol.

Interesting day with pre-market trades squeezed off before the open

I see VFIN is moving further away from best offer and only UBSS is left is guarding .0030 (and he's running low, lol)

The stars are aligning for CSKH, all we need now is for someone to light a match!

3/23/12 close...

Hey man, hope your watching CSKH

Our diluter VFIN is has been off the best offer for days while flirting with the best bid.

(buy weakness, sell strength)



today...


yesterday...

CSKH consolidating nicely in the .0020 - .0030 range

The pump is primed imo. Bull flag forming...

Would love to the see the 50MA cross up through the 100MA

CSKH - bull flag forming

next leg up should be a breakout move

CSKH holding recent gains is a good sign.

Another flag up the pole, maybe this time it will breakout as the newly forming flag formation suggests it should.
A week of .002-.003 channel consolidation should do the trick imo

No after hours dilution print bodes well that our seller is DONE. Generally when the A/D line mimics the PPS line
we have a free trading stock. So if there ever was a time for CSKH to run, now would be it. All we need is decent
volume interest, a solid 10K, or something juicy from management. After all it is officially spring tomorrow,
definitely a good time for solar installers.

Texas hold'em

Moving averages about to turn up?

VFIN (our diluter) on the best offer?
