"America's imminent victory in Iraq and safety from terrorist attacks at home is driving them all crazy"
What is this weeks definition of victory in Iraq?
It sure does change frequently.
Nothing being done in Iraq has anything to do with anti-terrorist activity in America. To think it does is plain folly! If terrorists have the means to attack America why would they stop off in IRAQ to fight US Soldiers first? Is it some kind of Islamic Macho test to see who is worthy of self immolation on American soil?
When the Iraqi political leaders come back from summer vacation we should ask them to give you an answer.
ishmael: I guess to us it's fiction and to Len it's friction !
Just put "The Road" on reserve @ the library.. You should check out Ken Bruen if you like hard edged bleak writing through the eyes of a drunken drug abuser. Awesome writer.
Len, library is pretty cheap on the west coast, how about in your neck of the woods? do they charge an admission fee?
Boring I can't help with, deleting wayward VMC posts, is that non-boring? LOL
Len: I don't get it. You won't read a great book of fiction, but you will waste your time watching Kill Bill? Pure crap!
currently reading "The Tin Roof Blowdown" James Lee Burke, fiction based on Katrina and it's aftermath. A good read.
TTGL: This is what has always kept me away from this stock.

I had hair back then. LOL .. yeah it was longish and I admit wearing a pair or two of bell bottoms, button fly jeans, clogs and a whole bunch of other crap.
Hate to sound like an old fart, but people were less materialistic and generally liked each other. No computers, video games, online porn and BUSH was something you pissed on. No cell phones, no road rage, no steroid rages. In sports your worst was drunk Billy Martin or The Mick. Or a couple of pitchers swapping wives (NY Mets).
If not for Vietnam BS, those times were awesome. I sound like Jethro Tull, Living in the Past!
Great song, great album, GREAT songwriter... Nobody says it better, so much truth to all he has sung/written.
Had to pull the cd out and play it once again.
44 years ago, wow the time sure does fly!
Sorry forgot to include this: Section 2.03 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt
That analysis of the loan is not very complete. The assumption that DPDW does not have to pay beyond $75,000 x 16 payments is off base.
It would also appear the warrants are an inducement to provide the loan, they are not an offset to loan payment.
None of the exhibits appear to be included that show the actual warrant document or collateral provided for the loan.
Last time I had a business loan I provided 100% collateral, guarantees personal & corporate, paid an above market interest rate, etc. Nothing unusual about it.
These guys want to make a fat interest return and massive stock price appreciation. Can't blame them, if all goes well they will be fatter and happier.
"(a) The outstanding principal of the Loan will be repaid (i) by Borrower making quarterly installments of $75,000 commencing on September 30, 2008 and on the last Business Day of each quarter thereafter, and (ii) by Borrower making a final payment of the amount of the Loans outstanding on the Final Maturity Date, in each case as set forth on Schedule 2.03 to the Agent for the account of each Lender. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent to, and the Agent may, from time to time, debit the Debt Service Reserve Account with the amount of any payment due hereunder."
Big-ticket mortgage rates rise
The cost of financing an expensive home purchase is jumping, making high-end buyers the latest victims of the mortgage meltdown.
By Les Christie, CNNMoney.com staff writer
August 7 2007: 11:17 AM EDT
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Don't look now but the cost of financing a home purchase in some of the nation's priciest areas just got more expensive.
Wells Fargo, one of the nation's biggest mortgage lenders, raised the interest rates on it 30-year, fixed-rate, non-conforming (AKA jumbo) loan to 8 percent last week, up from 6.875 percent. Other lenders followed suit and more are likely to join them.
The rate jump means the monthly bill for a $600,000 mortgage would hit $4,403, compared to $3,942 previously, an increase of $461.
Jumbos are loans of more than $417,000, the limit observed by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the government sponsored enterprises (GSEs) that buy loans in the secondary markets. Freddie and Fannie don't buy loans above that cap.
Wells Fargo's timing may seem odd: 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages have come off their highs for the year; their benchmark 10-year treasury has fallen considerably in the past few weeks to 4.69 percent from 5.2 percent, with further drops expected. And the Federal Reserve, which meets on Tuesday, has shown no inclination to raise its key rate.
Even borrowers with shakier credit scores than many jumbo loan applicants can qualify for a prime loan at about 6.75 percent, only 0.25 or 0.30 percent above what more qualified borrowers get, according to Keith Gumbinger, of HSH Associates, a mortgage information publisher.
But jumbo borrowers are paying a point and a half more than those who receive a conforming loan. That's way up from the traditional premium spread of about a half to three/quarters of a point.
Why should jumbos, whose borrowers often boast high incomes and assets, cost more than conforming loans? It's because Wall Street has stopped buying the loans.
Conforming mortgages, or loans below $417,000, carry much lower risk, because Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guarantee a market for them. In a tighter credit market, lenders are charging more for jumbos because of the extra risk of not being able to sell them to the investment community.
Allen Hardester, a mortgage broker in Maryland, said that jumbos have lost their appeal for investors. "[Lenders] are having trouble unloading even prime, fully documented, 20 percent down jumbos. Nobody has any faith in real estate," he said.
George Hanzimanolis, president of the National Association of Mortgage Brokers, said, "Wall Street is just so shaky right now that any kind of mortgage-backed anything is a concern."
The implications for high-priced markets may be serious. On a wider scale, jumbos account for 16 percent of the overall mortgage market, according to Inside Mortgage Finance, which provides news and stats to the mortgage industry.
On an individual level, it can push potential buyers out of a market, because they generally care less about a property's price than their final monthly mortgage costs.
A buyer with a budget of $4,000 a month may be able to afford a $600,000 mortgage at 6.875 percent, but with jumbos up to 8 percent, a buyer with the same budget can only afford a $545,000 mortgage. To make up for the increased interest rate, a home seller would have to knock off nearly 10 percent from a selling price.
In many places, rate hikes for jumbo loans matter little, because most house prices fall well below the limits set by the GSEs. The median house price in the United States still stands at about $220,000.
Factoring in a 20 percent down payment, a home would have to cost more than $521,250 to trigger the higher interest rates of a jumbo loan.
But in some housing markets, such as most of California, much higher home prices prevail, pushing the majority of purchases into jumbo territory, according to mortgage broker Steve Habetz of Threshold Finance in Connecticut.
Buyers have to pay an extra premium, above already outsized home prices, to get a mortgage in the Bay Area, Silicon Valley, Los Angeles and many other California areas. The same holds true for the New York region, Boston, Washington D.C., parts of Florida and other high-priced markets.
"There are hot spots like that all over the country," Habetz said, "where there's a potential for a real meltdown."
The drying up of investment capital for jumbos is part ofa widespread liquidity squeeze. According to Gumbinger, a lot of the secondary market -the investors who buy securitized loans from lenders - has put itself on hold.
"They're saying, 'I'm not going to buy any more paper until I know what I have to know,'" he said.
As far as non-conforming loans are concerned, "We are seeing essentially a frozen market," said Jay Brinkman, the Mortgage Bankers Association vice president for research and economics. "When lenders can't get a bid even on the AAA loans, it's a market that has ceased to function."
A whole class of borrowers, subprime home buyers, has already been virtually eliminated from the home-buying universe. If jumbo buyers also face much higher interest rates, many will postpone home buying plans. And that can only add to the pain of slumping or stagnant markets.
Brinkers calls: In the last 11 years since I have been reading/listening to Bob Brinker - When I thought I knew more than he did and went against his general market timing calls, I am 0 for ?? .
FWIW - He is usually right on!
brikk, perhaps the silliest post ever written! You have hundreds of eyeballs on this board, many loyal shareholders who have been buying and supporting this stock from day 1 and you are playing silly games with some photo's that might be of interest to shareholders past present and future.
Len: "Of course, if someone only owns 3-4 microcap stocks that don't have a lot of liquidity and/or big spreads, then they may well be screwed."
Geez, are you sneaking a peek at my account again? LOL
You brought the subject up. You were just looking for some compadres to agree with your views. You got a lukewarm to scalding reception and now we all have our "heads up our butts" because we are not willing to acknowledge any racism on our parts.
Why not do some reading http://www.humanities-interactive.org/ancient/mideast/mideast_essay.htm
See what those savage people have brought to civilization.
or stay out of the pasta aisle.
Len: With rates higher worldwide, the Fed can't lower rates because the money in Treasuries would flow elsewhere. If not for that and the FEAR of inflation, I suspect they would be lowering rates already.
The bridges to nowhere are nothing compared to the "War to nowhere"... Imagine how much better we could do with that money.
Chipotle Mexican Grill : Wife likes it although she prefers fish tacos elsewhere. I don't like it and refuse to go.
It is clean, cool lively and hip. Dumbed down food for the masses. I would prefer a Mexican restaurant that knows how to make a Margarita from scratch without the ice and serves real food. Good luck finding that.
gilead: Arrogance... "Personally I think there is alot of arrogance in our system. I think it is exceedingly arrogant for a high school dropout using his vote to help shape the course of my life. To think he is smart enough to do so is supreme arrogance."
Geez, your statement defines arrogance..
here is an unedited listing of high school dropouts. people dropout for various reasons. many are too smart & bored, or have greatness ahead of them and can't fit into the system.
I wonder how comfortable we should be with voters having your attitude shaping our lives!

I can't think of a conservative talk show host that does not make me want to puke. A few liberal ones are on the same list, Bernie Ward in San Francisco is on the top of the list. His wife is a Doctor in SF and we used her for my son, she is ok, he is over the top the anti-limbaughannity.
The only regular talk show guy I can stand is Chris Mathews who although liberal leaning is willing to be convinced of the other sides positions and will acknowledge to his guests when he agrees with the opposing view. Can't say that for most anyone else.

July 30, 2007 - Score One Inc. announced today that according to a recent article published in June by Network Center of MOFCOM, China has surpassed Germany and become the second largest auto parts exporter to the US for the first time. During the first quarter of 2007, China exported US$1.936 billion of auto parts to the U.S., which surpassed Germany's US$1.934 billion during the same period, an increase of over 27% for the same period last year. Also, during the first three months of 2007, China exported US$6.123 billion auto parts worldwide, an increase of 32.4% the same period over last year.
"China is moving up from basic goods like textiles, toys and shoes towards higher-value industrial goods that pay better wages and achieve higher operating margins," claimed Ms. Hoi-ho Kiu, Chairman and CEO of Score One, Inc. "We believe we are in an ideal position to capture the rewards from this higher-value movement. Our country, China, is strongest in electrical and electronic components and in cast metal parts that require lots of manual labor of machining. We further believe soaring output at auto assembly plants in China is generating enormous demand for auto parts and creating the large economies of scale productions which previously are possible only in North America, Europe and Japan."

SREA - Pinksheets.com new rating system gives this one the Skull & Crossbones - Caveat Emptor!
ZECCO, in addition to collecting $$ on margin balances, the stock loan business is very profitable. If they loan your stock out they make money. They also profit from directed order flow. Market makers pay for that and it is normally disclosed somewhere in the fine print. And of course last but not least, the more eyeballs they can prove they have, the more than can get for the ads on the website.
All in all a very profitable business, except maybe for those non dtc eligible security trades.

We will not process any more food there until the FDA and the USDA agrees it is appropriate to reopen," said Dave Melbourne, senior vice president for Castleberry's.

So this is pretty scary for anyone eating this crap. But what I found really scary is that at the end of the product recall list on Castleberry's website is several DOG FOOD items made at the same plant. How exactly do you know for sure when you dig into that Chili if it was meant for Fido?

Bill Mahre on his newest HBO special was talking about how we plan to build a 700 mile fence on a 2100 mile border to keep out the illegals. He suggested we build a 2100 mile long Wal-Mart and then the workers could enter from the back and the customers enter from the front. Of course he said only one register would be open.
