GLTA - Happy Posting.
IMO Silver is the most versatile of the precious metals.... New uses are being found all the time....
I found this interesting from the Solar and Silver article:
While the overall markets for silver are dominated mainly by its established, "conventional" uses, there are a number of emerging technologies that also use silver, and these rapidly growing technologies will account for a disproportionate amount of the growth in the silver market.
FYI - Check PAL North American Palladium
I got some PAL and PAL options , the JAN2010 CALL $5 Options , Up 100% in one week , The PAL JAN2010 Call $2.5 , $5 and $7.5 are ALL buys And appear to be under accum... I am going long large PAL , CDE , PAS , SLV , AND > I did get some UNG and UNG calls , nat gas is trailing Oil is major way , IMO betweee now and December UNG will explode upside....
IMO Happy Posting
Silver’s new boost comes from rising solar industry
VIRGINIA: At present solar industry may not be the largest consumer of silver, but trends are changing. The high prices of fossil fuels, their environmental impact due to carbon emissions is already leading to world-wide growth in investments in solar and alternative technologies for energy.
Photo-voltaics is the fastest growing application for silver in the past five years due to the above mentioned factors. A NanoMarket’s research suggests that the volume of silver used for photovoltaics will reach over 24 million troy ounces in 2016. The report titled “Silver Markets for Photovoltaics” pointed out that the market dynamics of the silver and PV market are changing. As thin-film and organic PV begin to take a larger share of the overall PV market the use of silver will shift from that of a simple coating used to fabricate the top electrodes in crystalline silicon PV to that of a key determinant in boosting efficiencies and materials performance. NanoMarkets believes that thin-film PV and organic PV both will account for 27 percent of silver used by PV in 2016.

While the overall markets for silver are dominated mainly by its established, "conventional" uses, there are a number of emerging technologies that also use silver, and these rapidly growing technologies will account for a disproportionate amount of the growth in the silver market.
Key Findings:
-PV is the fastest growing application for silver; NanoMarkets' research suggests that the volume of silver used for photovoltaics will reach over 24 million troy ounces in 2016.
-NanoMarkets also believes that silver reflective coatings could prove of immense importance in getting organic PV (OPV) to performance levels that would make its satisfactory for its biggest area of opportunity; building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV).
-While PV silver will continue to be dominated by simple silver pastes, the need for higher performance will create demand for pastes manufactured from nanomaterials which have higher degrees of conductivity than regular pastes.
-
-Another new opportunity can be found in transparent composite materials in which indium tin oxide (ITO) or conductive polymers are mixed with silver to create new materials for high performance top electrodes. These composites are being tried out first in OPV, but NanoMarkets believes that they will have applications throughout the industry.
The use of silver is, of course, partially linked to the price of silver. The price of silver has been fairly volatile over the past several years, ranging as high as $20 per ounce in mid-2008 and back down to about $10 per ounce in early 2009. Much of the recent decline in silver prices is due to the ongoing worldwide recession, which has reduced demand for most industrial silver, including for products made with silver inks. This volatility does introduce a level of uncertainty into the use of silver inks, but generally where an ink is the preferred form of a conductor, silver inks' benefits far outweigh the relative cost, even at high silver prices. Price is only one factor in the market for silver conductive inks, and such inks generally contribute only a relatively small portion of the cost of the products that use them., NanoMarkets report said.

Chinese silver sector urges reinstatement of export tax rebate
Hong Kong (Platts)--1Jun2009
Six major Chinese silver producers are urging China's Ministry of
Commerce to either reinstate the export tax rebate for silver, or scrap the
value-added tax now imposed on imported lead/silver concentrate, to help
alleviate companies' current financial difficulties, the producers said
Monday.
The six producers are Yuguang Gold and Lead Group, Shuikoushan Mining
Administration, Anyang Yubei Gold and Lead, Shenzhen Zhongjin Lingnan
Nonfemet, Zhuzhou Smelter Group and Yunnan Copper.
China canceled the 17% export tax rebate for silver in mid-2008 in a bid
to control exports of scarce resources. On January 1 this year value-added tax
on imported lead/silver concentrate was raised to 17% from the previous 13%.
"The removal of the 17% export tax rebate has weakened Chinese silver
producers' competitiveness overseas, so we wish the state to resume it so as
to help lower export costs," said a source with Henan-based silver producer
Yuguang Gold and Lead Group. "China's silver output has exceeded domestic
consumption, so local producers have to seek outlets in other countries," he
added.
Chinese domestic silver consumption in 2008 hit 4,500 mt, up 10% from
2007, figures from the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association showed.
But total silver output by China reached 9,587 mt in 2008, up 5.45% from 2007.
China issued a total silver export quota of 4,800 mt in 2008, but it only
exported 4,043 mt last year, down 9.8% from 4,484 mt exported in 2007, customs
figures showed.
Meanwhile, industry insiders in China said even if the state reinstated
the export tax rebate, it might not immediately boost local producers' silver
exports. A source with Shuikoushan Mining Administration in Hunan Province
said: "Even if the government restores the export tax rebate, we have to
compare the price gap between Chinese domestic silver prices and export values
so as to decide on our future export volume."
Officials from Zhuzhou Smelter were unavailable for comment.

Silver nanoparticles aid clotting therapy
Silver nanoparticles aid clotting therapy
VARANASI, India, June 1 (UPI) -- Scientists in India report the discovery of a potential alternative to aspirin and other anti-platelet agents used to prevent blood clots.
The researchers said they've found the use of silver nanoparticles might prevent blood clots in coronary artery disease, heart attack and stroke patients.
The scientists said low levels of nanosilver particles injected into mice reduced the ability of platelets to clump together by as much as 40 percent with no apparent harmful side effects.
Debabrata Dash and colleagues at Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi, India, said patients urgently need new anti-thrombotic agents because traditionally prescribed medications often cause dangerous bleeding.
The nanoparticles "hold immense potential to be promoted as an antiplatelet agent," the researchers said. "Nanosilver appears to possess dual significant properties critically helpful to the health of mankind -- antibacterial and antiplatelet -- which together can have unique utilities, for example in coronary stents."
The scientists are to report their research in the June 23 issue of the journal Nano.

I was wondering what all the hype was about , how dissapointing to learn it is all just IHUB message board hype , no verifiable information can be found on the share structure , revenues etc... Just a few vague old forward looking PRs.... I was hoping for at least a few filings or a prospectus and or proforma , anything..... Happy Posting....
truth i would not even buy this POS at .0001.eom
I cant find ANY good info on this one , at least WEGI had attempted to file w/SEC .... Good luck , Looks to me like those holding those .006s r looking good , the rest... not so good , lol... IMO
and IMO ERHE will sell long before any oil is pumped for sale from these blocks.... Maybe even sooner , Once drilling starts... However they still need to get over the government hurdle... I am sure any buyout/merger partner is going to want some sort of overture from SEC,DOJ,Senate that investigations are over and or formal charges will not be filed ... prob never going to get any sort of official announcement to an end to the ongoing investigations ,, but these guys r smart and have high dollar attorneys that will guide them ,, imo once ERHE gets a wink wink it will sell for a good sum and fast... IMO
Good Info rr!
"Silver, whose biggest single industrial use is in photography, is also used in medical applications and solar-energy devices. "

El Niño to arrive by peak of hurricane season?
posted by Ken Kaye on May 29, 2009 2:00:14 PM
Will El Niño arrive by the peak of the hurricane season, August through October?
In his blog at The Weather Underground today, meteorologist Jeff Masters says there is mounting evidence that could be the case.
"This is important, since the number and intensity of Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes is usually reduced during an El Niño year, thanks to the increased wind shear such events bring to the tropical Atlantic," Masters writes.
Government and private forecasters also cite the possibility that El Nino might emerge by late summer. As a result, both NOAA and the Colorado State University team of William Gray and Phil Klotzbach call for an average season.
All of which is certainly good news just before the official June 1 start of the hurricane season.
But, as always, don't let your guard down. Hurricanes can strike even during El Niño years.

Further to our release on Mr. Joyce's statement from yesterday's meeting at the White House, we'd like to share with you the Department of Energy's announcement. Namely, Secretary Chu announced an increase in the maximum awards available under the Recovery Act for smart grid programs. The maximum award available under the Smart Grid Investment Grant Program will be increased from $20 million to $200 million and for the Smart Grid Demonstration Projects from $40 million to $100 million.
Locke, Chu Announce Significant Steps in Smart Grid Development
WASHINGTON - U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke and U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu today announced significant progress that will help expedite development of a nationwide "smart" electric power grid.
A Smart Grid would replace the current, outdated system and employ real-time, two-way communication technologies to allow users to connect directly with power suppliers. The development of the grid will create jobs and spur the development of innovative products that can be exported. Once implemented, the Smart Grid is expected to save consumers money and reduce America's dependence on foreign oil by improving efficiency and spurring the use of renewable energy sources.
Before it can be constructed, however, there needs to be agreement on standards for the devices that will connect the grid.
After chairing a meeting of industry leaders at the White House, Locke and Chu announced the first set of standards that are needed for the interoperability and security of the Smart Grid and $10 million in Recovery Act funds provided by the Energy Department to the National Institute of Standards and Technology to support the development of interoperability standards.
Secretary Chu also announced that based on feedback from the public and Smart Grid stakeholders, the Department of Energy is increasing the maximum award available under the Recovery Act for Smart Grid programs. The maximum award available under the Smart Grid Investment Grant Program will be increased from $20 million to $200 million and for the Smart Grid Demonstration Projects from $40 million to $100 million. In making awards, DOE will ensure that funding is provided to a diversity of applications, including small projects as well as end-to-end larger projects.
"President Obama has made a smart electrical grid a key element of his plan to lower energy costs for consumers, achieve energy independence and reduce greenhouse gas emissions," Secretary Locke said. "Today, we took a significant step toward developing the open and transparent interoperability standards necessary to realize the Smart Grid vision."
"The Smart Grid is an urgent national priority that requires all levels of government as well as industry to cooperate," Secretary Chu said. "I'm pleased that industry leaders stepped forward today and are working with us to get consensus. We still have much to do, but the ultimate result will be a much more efficient, flexible power grid and the opportunity to dramatically increase our use of renewable energy."
Today's meeting was designed to encourage industry executives to work to expedite the adoption of standards in advance of a major two-day, public standards workshop tomorrow in metro Washington, DC.
The initial batch of 16 National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-recognized interoperability standards announced today will help ensure that software and hardware components from different vendors will work together seamlessly, while securing the grid against disruptions.
Spanning areas ranging from smart customer meters to distributed power generation components to cybersecurity, the list of standards is based on the consensus expressed by participants in the first public Smart Grid Interoperability Standards Interim Roadmap workshop, held April 28-29 in Reston, Va. A full list of the announced standards is attached below.
The Energy Department also announced that the $10 million it received to support the development of interoperability standards under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has been provided to NIST to help accelerate their efforts to coordinate these critical standards.
Public comments on the initial standards will be accepted for 30 days after their upcoming publication in the Federal Register. The date of publication will be posted on NIST's Smartgrid webpage.
Comments may be submitted to smartgrid@nist.gov.
The Energy Department is the lead federal agency responsible for Smart Grid development. Creating national standards is a critical part of that process. Coordinating these standards and achieving industry buy-in is the responsibility of the Commerce Department. This meeting is part of an aggressive three-phase plan recently launched by the Commerce Department to expedite standards development.
Just posting my outlook my opinion , I have done well on SPNG trying to out time the Doug Furth group.... It is IMO - best of luck to all.....
not to fast , the group is going to short this down , they make money both sides, trick is to sell before they unleash the massive short for the next run up.... IMO
see todays tape , LOL , SPNG is so predictable , I am OUT - SOLD at .051 , it is going to get close to the .06 , but watch out it is going to get rocky upper .05s - .06 - might have good pullback soon , re-enter at $.022 in next 2 weeks , or it could run higher , risky one up here in the .05s , I am out , made my cake , lots of it , going to find me something solid with a dividend and hope to re-enter here later on..... all in IMO
I think the Reverse split 10 for 1 has folks spooked , but keep in ming ARGUS upgraded the stock AFTER R/S was announced, few folks I spoke to also say they need price over $5 for some pension funds and other that like these mining stocks , I really think CDE is going to explode upside, once we have inflation show up more and more, the dollar losing ground , Gas and Oil spike on renewed demand or war/interruption of flow , any one or combo of these events can and will lead to large jump in Silver/Gold prices, I can see CDE really having a huge rally over Summer into Fall.....
I agree, I have some cash now , I might buy some this wek myself if it dips. I would love to add some.
THOSE $.0218S LOOKING GOOD TODAY.eom
IMO we will hit 52 week high this week, not sure how high "the group" is going to let it run over that high before they short it back down and do it all over again.. Dont be last one left holding , Money to be made in SPNG this week , beware manipulators "the group" is going to setup traps and try to steal $ from retail investors, watch closely , dont be to grreddy , try to flip and create free shares to hold long term , dont use rent money to buy SPNG.... Day trade the rent money on SPNG and try to create some free shares to hold and trade... IMO SPNG is going to END BADLY.... but could be a year or more away,, or could be 2weeks... lots of issues with disclosure , lawsuits , financeers, IMO SPNG days are numbered , but this week , try to make some money on SPNG , sell fast dont let the group short ur profits, take those profits first.... IMO

Watch out for this one. Apparently these guys are about to get sued for investor fraud by the same guy who successfully sued VYEY, another Jim Dial bedroom buddy. The last time this happened the stock went straight down to 4 cents from a buck, there were websites and blogs with all sorts of deadly information and the company ended up shelling out over $400,000 in settlements plus an ungodly amount of attorney fees. Word is that he is putting out a press release very soon.
