I was making a joke to the level of the most rediculous I could make it. We are on the same page.
Naw...just the democrats forcing the European and Asian banks to make giant loans to poor people. Just like the $700 billion to cover giant loans to poor people in the US. Will we ever learn...

Under the radar implications of LIBOR jump.
I'm not hearing much yet about the companies whos day to day workings are tied to and fluxuate under the direct umbrella of LIBOR.
I have personal experience as CEO of a group of closely held compainies. We had $50 millions to $100+ millions in revenues and +/- $75 millions in direct LIBOR based loans eminating from a northern European bank. This hands on gives me some insight in the LIBOR links. We were operating under several stand alone loan packages and with several tranches within those loans. The long term loans were in US$ and priced at LIBOR plus ~ 2 1/4%. These reset quarterly.
Here's the kicker: We had US$6 Million to US$10 Million in working capital...usually near fully drawn. All priced at LIBOR plus margin range ~+/- 2 3/8. The current LIBOR huge increases is tantamount to the Mortgage ARM resets in it's instant and huge jump in unavoidable costs to business. Businesses already have this money and now will be required to pay what is looking like a 200% - 300% increase in interest costs for money already drawn. Way outside any reasonable budgeted costs.
So 2 things...1. Clearly, based on LIBOR, banks just don't want to loan MORE money. and 2. They already have lots of accounts with money already drawn with adjustable interest exposure. There is the potential that whoever is in this circumstance will get seriously wacked by interest costs to a point that could begin to tip over (ala real estate collapse) non banking firms highly leveraged or living on the margin.
Just something to pay attention to in the fine print details going forward if LIBOR remains anywhere near these levels.

Who needs soap operas when you have this saga on a watch list.
Was seeing the last few days of chart activity and thinking there was a decline in the level of distribution. But, today's activity makes it look like the big seller is still at work.
Just needs a little more juice to break and hold above the 10dma. macd is just barely peeking above the -0- line so trend is still just a baby.

Sun Cal Energy Announces Commencement of Commercial Gas Sales
From Its Sibley 84 #1 Well in the West Gomez FieldLast update: 8/20/2008 9:00:08 AMSAN FRANCISCO, Aug 20, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Sun Cal Energy Inc. (SCEY), an energy exploration company focused in the Southern San Joaquin Valley of California, the Anadarko Basin of Oklahoma, the Breton Sound of Louisiana and the Green River Basin of Wyoming, is pleased to announce that the first of several wells to be drilled in the multi-pay prospect in the West Gomez Field, the Sibley 84 #1 well, has reached its target depth, and has been placed into commercial production. On August 16, gas initially flowed from the well at a rate of 2.7 million cubic feet of gas per day. The on-site engineers subsequently increased the choke to 16/64" from 12/64" resulting in a flow rate of 4 million cubic feet of gas per day. The well was then shut-in to install a separator to facilitate the handling of any fluids that may be produced with the gas. Final shut-in pressures were 4,400 psig and 760 psig on the casing and tubing-head respectively. Continuing on this success, the operator is expected to begin drilling operations shortly on a second well located on the same block, the Sibley 84 #2 well, as it was staked last week following the completion of all road and lease construction work. As stated by George Drazenovic, CFO of Sun Cal Energy Inc.: "We are excited that the Sibley 84 #1 well has been completed and brought into production. This is yet another significant milestone for our company and shareholders as we continue to build cash flow and realize the potential of our oil and gas assets. We look forward to even greater successes, particularly on our high impact assets in California and Wyoming." Having produced in excess of 5 TCF of natural gas, the West Gomez Field is one of the most prolific gas plays in the United States. The prospect, "83 84", consists of two re-entry wells, the Gulf-Baker 83 #1 (originally owned by Gulf and operated by Getty Oil Co.) and the Sibley 84 #1, as well as a new well, the Sibley 84 #2, on a 1280 acre lease in Pecos County, Texas. Based on published production data and geological and engineering calculations, recoverable reserves are estimated to be more than 27 billion cubic feet of gas and 50,000 barrels of oil. Sun Cal's interest will be 2% while any cost over-runs will be assumed by the operator. The 83 84 Project is adjacent to proven production properties operated by the world's leading oil and gas producers including Exxon Mobil Corp., Conoco Phillips Co., Chevron USA Inc., Hunt Oil Co., Chesapeake Operating Inc., Cimarex Energy Co. and Texaco Inc. Supported by a data review of the Composite Borehole Compensated Sonic Log from Schlumberger, Gamma Ray & Sidewall Neutron Porosity Logs, drilling and completion reports, and the production history in the area overall, the 83 84 Project could produce upwards of 6,500 MCFGPD and 80 BOPD.

On behalf of the Board Lewis Dillman, President and CEO Forward-Looking Statements Statements in this news release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are based on current facts and analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determined and assumptions of management. Forward looking statements are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "projects", "aims", "potential", "goal", "objective", "prospective", and similar expressions or that events or conditions "will", "would", "may", "can", "could" or "should" occur. Information concerning oil or natural gas reserve estimates may also be deemed to be forward looking statements, as it constitutes a prediction of what might be found to be present when and if a project is actually developed. Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors beyond the reasonable control of the Company. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include misinterpretation of data, inaccurate estimates of oil and natural gas resources, the uncertainty of the requirements demanded by environmental agencies, the Company's ability to raise financing for operations, breach by parties with whom we have contracted, inability to maintain qualified employees or consultants because of compensation or other issues, competition for equipment, inability to obtain drilling permits, potential delays or obstacles in drilling operations and interpreting data, the likelihood that no commercial quantities of oil or gas are found or recoverable, and our ability to participate in the exploration of, and successful completion of development programs on all aforementioned prospects and leases. Additional information on risks and other factors that may affect the business and financial results of the Company can be found in filings of the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. We use certain terms in this news release, such as "prospective resources", "stock tank oil initially in place", "STOIIP", "likely recovery factors", "recovery factor" "prospective reserves", "prospective resource", "risk", "likely reservoir", "recoverable oil", "possible resource", "potential reserve" and "recoverable reserve potential that the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our annual report on Form 10-KSB and quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB available from us or the SEC." This release contains information about adjacent properties on which we have no right to explore. We advise U.S. investors that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's oil and gas guidelines strictly prohibit information of this type in documents filed with the SEC. U.S. Investors are cautioned that oil and gas deposits on adjacent properties are not indicative of oil and gas deposits on our properties. SOURCE: Sun Cal Energy Inc.

Earth Biofuels Restructures Debt on Biodiesel Facility
DALLAS, Jul 15, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Earth Biofuels, Inc. (OTCBB: EBOF) today announced a restructuring of certain promissory notes which has resulted in the reduction of $4,000,000 of senior secured debt on its biodiesel production facility located in Durant, Oklahoma. This reduction is part of the Company's plan to produce biodiesel at the facility using yellow grease and animal fats feedstocks.
Through the execution of an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with Fourth Third, LLC as part of the Company's liquefied natural gas ("LNG") spin-off transaction announced last week, an existing $9,000,000 Promissory Note with Fourth Third was replaced by a new $5,000,000 Promissory Note with Fourth Third. The new $5,000,000 Promissory Note is secured by Earth Biofuels' biodiesel production facility in Durant, Oklahoma. The $4,000,000 debt reduction was converted to the $34 million Promissory Note held by Fourth Third from PNG Ventures, Inc., which is secured by PNG Ventures' LNG processing facility in Topock, Arizona.
Earth Biofuels is actively pursuing an engineering upgrade to its Durant biodiesel facility to allow for the pre-treatment of high free fatty acid ("FFA") feedstock oils and to increase its production capacity to 20 million gallons per year.
Earth Biofuels, Inc. endeavors to produce and distribute biodiesel fuel and cellulosic ethanol through wholesale and retail outlets. The biodiesel fuel is sold under Willie Nelson's brand name, "BioWillie(R)." The Company's Web site is www.earthbiofuels.com.

(OTCBB: EBOF) whereby PNG Ventures has acquired Earth Biofuels' liquefied natural gas ("LNG") subsidiary, Applied LNG Technologies USA, LLC ("ALT") and its related entities in exchange for the transfer to Earth Biofuels of a majority ownership of PNG Ventures.
ALT's LNG business includes its vehicle-grade LNG production facility located just across the California border in Topock, AZ. The Topock facility is the largest vehicle-grade LNG production facility in the western United States. Also included are the LNG supply contracts with numerous commercial and municipal fleets along the California coast from Oakland to San Diego. These fleets' use of LNG as a transportation fuel for their converted vehicles provides lower fuel costs and compliance with the strictest state clean air initiatives in the nation.
"PNG Ventures will continue to operate the LNG business under the name, 'Applied LNG Technologies,' or 'ALT,'" stated the Company's interim CEO, Kevin Markey. "ALT will continue to provide reliable product delivery to its current customers. We are aggressively pursuing the growth of ALT through production expansion and new agreements with new domestic and international customers."
Over the past 10 years, use of LNG as a fuel for large municipal truck and commercial fleet vehicles has gained popularity in certain transportation markets due to its substantial price advantages over petroleum diesel fuel. The price advantages are primarily due to the cost of natural gas compared to oil and the various state and federal tax incentive programs that encourage the use of LNG. Fleet operations that utilize a common refueling station make the most sense for LNG use by a fleet operator.
Another advantage of LNG as a transportation fuel is the significant reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases and particulate matter compared to petroleum diesel use. Internal combustion engines that run on LNG emit 20% less greenhouse gases, 50% less nitrogen oxide (NOx), and over 70% less particulate matter than equivalent engines running on petroleum diesel. In September of 2006, the California ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles adopted the San Pedro Clean Air Action Plan, a sweeping plan aimed at significantly reducing the health risks posed by air pollution from port-related ships, trains, trucks, terminal equipment and harbor craft. The Clean Air Action Plan accelerates the efforts of a California Air Resources Board pollution reduction plan by requiring faster replacement of existing cargo-handling equipment with new equipment that will meet the toughest U.S. Environmental Protection Agency emissions standards. The use of LNG is a logical and economical solution for fleet operators to comply with this plan.
PNG Ventures, Inc. produces liquefied natural gas ("LNG") from its production facility in Topock, AZ and distributes its product to municipal and commercial transportation markets in the western United States. The Company's new web site is currently under construction. ALT's website is www.altlngusa.com. PNG Ventures currently has 11,398,309 common shares issued and outstanding, no preferred shares or warrants issued and outstanding.

Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
On June 30, 2008, certain obligations of New Century Energy Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” and “us”) owed to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. and its assigns and agents (“Laurus”), including a Secured Convertible Term Note entered into on June 30, 2005, in the original principal amount of $15,000,000, which had an outstanding balance (not including any accrued and unpaid interest) of approximately $12,000,000 as of March 31, 2008 (as amended and restated from time to time, the “Convertible Note”) and a Secured Term Note entered into on September 19, 2005, in the original principal amount of $9,500,000, which had a balance of approximately $6,351,391 as of March 31, 2008 (as amended and restated from time to time, the “Term Note”) became due. The Company failed to repay the outstanding amounts of the Convertible Note and the Term Note (the “Notes”) on June 30, 2008.
Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the Company had three (3) days to cure any default in repayment of the Notes, which cure period expired July 3, 2008, and which Notes remain unpaid as of the date of this filing. As such, the Company is currently in default of the Notes, which default may trigger an event of default and default payments equal to an additional 30% of any amounts due (the “Default Payments”) under the other outstanding promissory notes, warrants, options and other related agreements which the Company has previously entered into with Laurus and parties affiliated with Laurus (the “Laurus Agreements”).
Payment Default Notice and Short -Term Forbearance Agreement
On or around July 7, 2008, Laurus communicated notice of the Company’s event of default under the Notes, alleged event of default under the other Laurus Agreements, and the fact that the Laurus Agreements began to accrue interest at the default rate (as provided in each Laurus Agreement) beginning on July 3, 2008, to the Company.
Laurus also agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies (other than the implementation of the increased rates of interest and the requirement that the Company pay Default Payments) under the Laurus Agreements until 5:00 PM (New York time) on July 18, 2008 (the “Forbearance Period”), or such later time as Laurus may agree in its sole discretion. Laurus did not agree to forbear from administering the credit facility and/or from collecting, receiving and/or applying proceeds from the Company’s accounts receivable to the amounts owed to Laurus. The notice also stated that in the event the Company is able to repay the amounts owing to Laurus and under the Laurus Agreements prior to the end of the Forbearance Period, Laurus would waive any default interest and the requirement that the Company pay the Default Payments. The above terms are not binding on Laurus in the event that an event of default has occurred under the notice, including if an event of default other than those described above have occurred under any Laurus Agreement, if any representation made by the Company under any Laurus Agreement was false in any material respect when made, the Company’s failure to comply with any covenant in any Laurus Agreement, and/or if any person or entity other than Laurus exercises any rights to remedies against any of our assets or properties.
The Company is actively seeking alternative financing and is currently in ongoing discussions with Laurus regarding the entry into a separate forbearance agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company plans to seek to stay Laurus’ enforcement of the defaults and provide the Company sufficient additional time (approximately sixty (60) additional days from the end of the Forbearance Period) to either (a) refinance amounts due to Laurus; or (b) restructure its currently outstanding liabilities with Laurus through the entry into new notes with Laurus. The Company is also in discussions with various third parties regarding alternative financing for the Company.
The Company can provide no assurances that it will have sufficient funds to repay the amounts due under the Laurus Agreements, following the Forbearance Period or during the term of any Forbearance Agreement, assuming one is entered into; and/or that the Company will be able to obtain any additional third party financing to repay its current obligations owed to Laurus and its affiliated parties. In the event the Company is unable to stay the payment of the Laurus debt beyond the Forbearance Period and/or obtain alternative financing, the Company could be forced to abandon its current business activities, sell or transfer a substantial portion of its assets to Laurus, Laurus could take control of substantially all of the Company’s assets and/or the Company could be forced to declare bankruptcy.

S&P turn on fibs math...
My fibs math suggest that 5 fib waves down from 5/19/08 1440.24 is complete and the S&P is on it's way upward for a correction of that whole move.
This jell with anyone else's math? These numbers are actuals with the projected fib turns in brackets:
W1 5/19/8
1440.24
1373.72
actual distance travelled
W2 5/27
1373.07
1406.32 - actual (1398/1414 fib range .382/.618)
W3 5/29
1406.32
1304.42 - actual (fibs - 1.618*W1 = 1298.76)
W4 6/24
1304.42
1335.63 - actual (fibs - .382 = 1343 )
W5 6/25/8
1335.63
1260.68 - today 7/1/8 (fibs - W5 = W1 1269.11)
correction of whole move of
1440.24 @ 5/27/08 down to
1260.68 @ 7/1/08
suggests turns to watch:
.236 = 1303.06
.382 = 1329.27
.618 = 1371.64
break .786 at 1401.81 to suggest new bull impulse.
All just for fun and imho...probably worth what you're paying for it...
