U mean u already have one??
Nice pick up.It's either a BMW or a Yugo. I think everyone is in agreement with this.
Even though this aint a pretty stock a juicy PR could knock it out of the ballpark. If not it goes back into hibernation. It held up higher than i thought. Place yer bets!
Aquisition with cash + shares?? I picked up on that first thing. About time they used some of that $100 million sitting around?
CCME added even more. Im waaaay overweight in it now.
Good luck. Looks more like a rear entry position.Its just not going to be in play until something more substantial comes out.With this reverse momo the bottom could literally drop out of it. If you want in cheap save some dry powder for later.Im waitng for .03 before I might begin to nibble.
Maybe. If they clean the floors really well they could probably come up with a dime.
I keep my barcharts next to the toilet paper and tucks. Do u have anythng more than this??
looks like ACLH stays afloat by selling stock or other assets.Even with a past relationship with BP it doesnt show as a profit.http://www.investorpoint.com/stock/ACLH-Act+Clean+Technologies+Inc./income-statement/

EU Crafts $962 Billion Show of Force to Halt Crisis (Update2)

May 10 (Bloomberg) -- European policy makers unveiled an unprecedented loan package worth nearly $1 trillion and a program of securities purchases as they spearheaded a drive to stop a sovereign-debt crisis that threatened to shatter confidence in the euro. Jolted into action by last week’s slide in the currency to a 14-month low and soaring bond yields in Portugal and Spain, governments of the 16 euro nations agreed to make loans of as much as 750 billion euros ($962 billion) available to countries under attack from speculators.
The ECB will also embark on “very significant operations,” European Union Economic and Monetary Commissioner Olli Rehn told reporters in Brussels after the 14-hour meeting. “The ECB has taken a decision to intervene in the secondary markets of government securities.”
Under pressure from the U.S. and Asia to stabilize markets, the European governments gambled that the show of financial force would prevent a sovereign-debt crisis and muffle speculation that the 11-year-old euro might break apart.
Europe’s failure to contain Greece’s fiscal crisis triggered a 4.1 percent drop in the euro last week, the biggest weekly decline since the aftermath of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s collapse. It prompted President Barack Obama to call German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy yesterday to urge “resolute steps” in Europe to prevent the crisis from cascading around the world.
Under the loan package, euro-area governments pledged to make 440 billion euros available, with 60 billion euros more from the EU’s budget and as much as 250 billion euros from the International Monetary Fund, said Spanish Economy Minister Elena Salgado.
“We are placing considerable sums in the interests of stability in Europe,” Salgado told reporters after chairing the meeting. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=ap50DW8IqhBo&pos=1

BRUSSELS — European Union finance ministers were considering a €500 billion ($645 billion) defense package for the embattled euro, hoping it will suffice to keep markets from targeting the eurozone's weaker members, EU sources said late Sunday.

.Rushing to finalize an agreement before Asian markets officially open Monday, the ministers were discussing an aid plan that would have the EU Commission make €60 billion ($75 billion) available while countries from the 16-nation eurozone and the IMF would combine with a promise to back bilateral loans and guarantees for up to €440 billion ($570 billion).
Spanish Finance Minister Elena Salgado, speaking as she arrived for an emergency meeting of the European Union's finance ministers in Brussels, said they were determined to safeguard the currency used by 16 of the EU's 27 member states. The euro has come under increasing pressure since the financial meltdown of one of its members, Greece.
France and Germany, the two largest members of the eurozone, agreed on measures to resolve the European financial crisis, according to a two-sentence statement from French President Nicolas Sarkozy's office Sunday.
But Britain sought to maintain a clear monetary line between the problems of the euro and its cherished pound.
"I am very, very clear that if there is a proposal to create a stability fund for the euro, that has got to be a matter for the euro-group countries," British Chancellor Alastair Darling told the BBC. "What we can't do is to provide support for the euro. That has got to be for those countries that use the euro."
The ministers hoped to announce a deal before trading opened in Asia, if a qualified majority of the 27 EU finance ministers sign on.
Sarkozy's office said he spoke with President Barack Obama and the two leaders agreed on "the need for a large-scale response to the current disorders that are affecting the markets."
The EU's slow response to the crisis and its failure to keep Greece from reaching the brink of bankruptcy triggered slides in the euro and global stocks last week, and intensified fears the crisis would spread to other countries with shaky finances such as Spain and Portugal.
"We are going to defend the euro," said Salgado, who presided over the Brussels meeting. "We have to give more stability to our currency ... We will do whatever is necessary" to reach agreement.
EU sources have said the measures could involve extending a €50 billion financial support facility that has already been available to some EU nations outside of the eurozone and bringing the ceiling up to €110 billion.
There also has been talk about a system of loan guarantees. Some economists have urged the European Central Bank to support the bond market by buying government bonds. Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet said last week the bank did not discuss such a step at its Thursday meeting but stood ready to take unspecified additional measures if appropriate.
Ministers are pushing to have something approved by the time stock markets open Monday because vague promises have been unable to calm market turmoil over the past weeks.
"We need to make progress today because in the night, when the markets are opening, we cannot afford disappointments," said Swedish Finance Minister Anders Borg.
"We now see herd behaviors in the markets that are really pack behaviors, wolf pack behaviors," he said. If unchecked, "they will tear the weaker countries apart. So it is very important that we now make progress."
Some eurozone nations blamed the fragile governments and a lack of European cooperation for the crisis.
"I'm against putting all the blame on speculation," said Austrian Finance Minister Josef Proell. "Speculation is only successful against countries that have mismanaged their finances for years."
Fear of default led to investors demanding high interest rates that Greece could not pay, forcing it to seek a bailout; the risk is that market skepticism will make Portugal and Spain pay more and more to borrow, worsening their plight.
"We have to take decisions that will restore the stability of the euro, for the eurozone and we have to work on the mechanism which will be comprehensive and efficient to restore stability," said French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde.
Early Saturday, the eurozone leaders gave final approval for an €80 billion ($100 billion) rescue package of loans to Greece for the next three years to keep it from imploding. In Washington on Sunday, the board of the International Monetary Fund approved its €30 billion ($40 billion) share of the bailout.
While EU finance ministers hashed out an agreement of their own, the approval by the IMF in Washington was enough to push the euro higher in early Asian and Pacific trading to $1.2893 from the $1.2731 it bought in New York on Friday.

NEW YORK – A Pakistan-born U.S. citizen accused of driving a bomb-laden SUV into Times Square and parking it on a street lined with restaurants and Broadway theaters was to appear in court Tuesday to face charges that he tried to set off a massive fireball and kill Americans, federal authorities said.
The suspect, Faisal Shahzad, was taken into custody late Monday by FBI agents and New York Police Department detectives at Kennedy Airport while trying to board a flight to Dubai, according to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and other officials. He was identified by customs agents and stopped before boarding, Holder said early Tuesday in Washington.
U.S. authorities "will not rest until we have brought everyone responsible to justice," Holder said, suggesting additional suspects are being sought.
Shahzad is a naturalized U.S. citizen and had recently returned from a five-month trip to Pakistan, where he had a wife, according to law enforcement officials who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the investigation into the failed car bombing.
The U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan was handling the case and said Shahzad would appear in court Tuesday, but the charges were not made public. FBI agents searched the home at a known address for Shahzad in Bridgeport, Conn., early Tuesday, said agent Kimberly Mertz, who wouldn't answer questions about the search.
Authorities removed filled plastic bags from the house overnight in a mixed-race, working-class neighborhood of multi-family homes in Connecticut's largest city. A bomb squad came and went without entering as local police and FBI agents gathered in the cordoned-off street.
Shahzad was being held in New York overnight and couldn't be contacted. A phone number at a listed address for Shahzad in Shelton, Conn., wasn't in service.
Brenda Thurman, a neighbor near where Shahzad used to live in Shelton, said he lived there with his wife and two small children. Shahzad had told her husband that he worked on Wall Street, she said, adding that she was surprised by the turn of events.
"I can't believe something like this happened. I can't believe it."
Law enforcement officials say Shahzad bought the SUV, a 1993 Nissan Pathfinder, from a Connecticut man about three weeks ago and paid cash. The officials spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the case.
The vehicle identification number had been removed from the Pathfinder's dashboard, but it was stamped on the engine, and investigators used it to find the owner of record, who told them he had sold the vehicle to a stranger. As the SUV buyer came into focus, investigators backed off other leads.
The SUV was parked on Saturday night on a busy midtown Manhattan street near a theater showing "The Lion King." The explosive device inside it had cheap-looking alarm clocks connected to a 16-ounce can filled with fireworks, which were apparently intended to detonate gas cans and set propane tanks afire in a chain reaction "to cause mayhem, to create casualties," police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.
A metal rifle cabinet placed in the SUV's cargo area was packed with fertilizer, but NYPD bomb experts believe it was not a type volatile enough to explode like the ammonium nitrate grade fertilizer used in previous terrorist bombings.
Police said the SUV bomb could have produced "a significant fireball" and sprayed shrapnel with enough force to kill pedestrians and knock out windows.
A vendor alerted a police officer to the parked SUV, which was smoking. Times Square, clogged with tourists on a warm evening, was shut down for 10 hours. A bomb squad dismantled the explosive device, and no one was hurt.
But Holder said Americans should remain vigilant.
"It's clear," he said, "that the intent behind this terrorist act was to kill Americans."
President Barack Obama was told of the arrest shortly after midnight, according to press secretary Robert Gibbs.
In Pakistan, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said authorities had not been formally asked for help in the probe.
"When the request comes, we will cooperate with the U.S. government," he told the AP.
The Pakistani Taliban appeared to claim responsibility in videos that surfaced after the weekend scare, monitoring groups said, but police had no evidence to support the claims.
More than a dozen people with American citizenship or residency, like Shahzad, have been accused in the past two years of supporting or carrying out terrorism attempts on U.S. soil, cases that illustrate the threat of violent extremism from within the U.S.
Among them are Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, a U.S.-born Army psychiatrist of Palestinian descent, charged with fatally shooting 13 people last year at Fort Hood, Texas; Najibullah Zazi, a Denver-area airport shuttle driver who pleaded guilty in February in a plot to bomb New York subways; and a Pennsylvania woman who authorities say became radicalized online as "Jihad Jane" and plotted to kill a Swedish artist whose work offended Muslims.
