PLUG and Tesla, Huge Potentials, Look at KNDI up MASSIVE
Future companies like Tesla need Fuel Cells BADLY!
With stocks such as KNDI going from $2-20 in a few months, there is a huge realization that Fuel-cell technology is super obvious. With China saying it has to end pollution, what technologies will everyone turn to, to me it's a no brainer, Hydrogen stocks, hydrogen power: no emissions, no pollution, massive never ending supply of hydrogen and so many other positives.
PLUG has much room to pop, easily 14 a share; when this stock was at $100+ per share it had only 1/50th the volume... this is a different time and PLUG is making money!

Buying more options this morning.
Dec 2014 7.000 call
I think the real top and resistance is $13.80, this sector is ready to blow up even more. Gov't needs to put more $ into this area of business and support renewable energy faster. Recent reports are global warming is an issue, I use to be on the fence but the latest data from the National Weather Service shows a true sign of the planet heating up; something will be done, I expect this global warming issue to become a news issue soon. Gov't will be forced to do something to help these companies and this ideal much much more; CLEAN Energy!

Ship lol on AMS, so true. I remember once on the way to a electronic music event, waking up at 5 am to catch a Delta flight... Layed down n never woke up again for hours lol, I was a Delta captain brat on standby so was not a big deal, woke up went downtown and enjoyed it big.
Yes the Mary-Jane sector has not even barely begun, buy a bunch of these, look into PLPL etc, and hold 10 years, one of 'em will make ya proud!
Let's hope the huge demand starting now will keep these all afloat so they may all, or most of them fly high!
Best!
Everyone doubting PLUG is F-ed... the timing and the govt changes coming are massive, and they are prob getting a HUGE amount of interest just from the news in the sector alone, but now they are almost at a profit AND I am sure the phone is ringing BIGTiME, just a hunch... ;))))
In since 0.99, live this chart, other TA guys, where ya think this is headed, chart is awesome, also in FITX, CBIS, TRTC, love the Microsoft connection.
Bought more yesterday. Buying options out as far as I can, in the money.
Also on BLDP, I forgot I can't write a private unless subscribed, maybe soon. I have a long history in the markets, long but crazy story. Best sir!
Truth about Plug - Wal-Mart & Sysco Save Huge & are Big Customers.. more...
Wal-Mart (WMT), a customer of Plug Power, disagrees with Akston's anonymous sources. In a published communique, titled, Why Wal-Mart Canada is Investing in Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology, Wal-Mart Canada states:
We believe our investment in fuel cells will speed wider adoption of the technology in the market, improving hydrogen infrastructure and sustainability performance and driving down costs for our customers, our
competitors and us.
... at the Balzac PDC, use of hydrogen fuel cell technology will deliver $2.0 million in operating cost savings over seven years and will reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions by 530 tonnes of CO2 per year.
Though not directly mentioned in the communique, Plug Power must be involved in that $2.0 million of savings somewhere. Why would Wal-Mart continue to purchase from Plug Power if the company's products detract from productivity or offer no tangible benefit?
Who, exactly, did Akston interview?
And in another report that contradicts Akston's anonymous sources, titled, State of the States: Fuel Cell in America 2013, the US Department of Energy states, on page 13:
Sysco (SYY) Houston is "saving nearly $100,000 per year in man hours spent on refueling fuel cells versus swapping batteries and have created 5.5 jobs from the switch."
Sysco, another customer of Plug Power goes on the record to assert it saves money from using Plug Power products.
Good to have you on board with me Detearing, (AAL brothers)!

DB Crude Oil Double Short PowerShares ETN (DTO) NYSE
Good sign for Airlines if this does reach $64.00, just about a 100% rise, another way of looking at this is that it predicts oil prices to dump/drop about 30-50%.
DTO Chart Price Objective: $64.00
The higher this goes the more OIL prices are dumping, this is a way to short the oil market, profiting on OIL prices dropping. Higher is better, for newbies.
IATA raises global airline profit forecasts for 2013 and 2014
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/iata-raises-global-airline-profit-114441390.html
By Robert Evans and Tom Miles
GENEVA, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Airlines lobby group IATA has raised its forecast for airline profits this year by 10 percent and predicted passenger numbers topping 3 billion for the first time, reflecting lower jet fuel costs, improved efficiency and global economic growth.
The International Air Transport Association said on Thursday it expected total airline profits to reach $12.9 billion this year, having only three months ago cut its forecast to a total of $11.7 billion.
In projections which are closely watched for a barometer of the sector's health, the body also predicted profits growing to $16.4 billion in 2014, though it said cargo demand remained stagnant.
"2013 will see passenger numbers top 3 billion for the first time, increasing to 3.3 billion in 2014," IATA Director General Tony Tyler told a news conference.
"The average margin of the airline industry, even next year, which if we are correct will see the highest absolute profit ever, will be 2.6 percent. Many airlines will do better than this and many others will underperform," Tyler said.
Profit per passenger is expected to leap to $4.13 in 2013 from $2.49 in 2012, then reach an average $5.94 in 2014, said IATA, whose members include the likes of Lufthansa, British Airways (part of ICAG ), American Airlines and Cathay Pacific.
But without revenue from ancillary services such as lounge access, priority lanes at airports and pre-approved cabin baggage, the industry would be in the red. Ancillary revenue is forecast at about $13 per passenger.
Improved efficiency means airlines are expected to use a record 81 percent of available passenger capacity in 2014. But they will struggle to use the extra cargo capacity that comes with flying more planes.
Cargo demand is also suffering from increased trade protectionism and a rise in costs in formerly low-wage manufacturing countries, discouraging companies from moving their operations abroad.
"The most worrying recent economic development has been the apparent halt to globalization. World trade has slowed since the recession, to grow no faster than domestic industrial production," IATA said in its financial forecast.
The slow cargo market is likely to subdue profits at Asia-Pacific carriers, which have 40 percent of the global cargo market. North American carriers are expected to outperform the global average thanks to efficiencies generated by mergers and international joint ventures, IATA said.
American Air Is a Sleeper Stock if US Airways/America West Is a Precedent
In a previous report, McAdoo said the America West team could find $1 billion worth of revenue gains by eliminating unprofitable flying, which would buttress the value of the remaining seats.
Additionally, JP Morgan analyst Jamie Baker wrote Monday that "the earnings power of new American appears sorely underappreciated by the equity market, in our view." Baker has a $37 target price and has put the shares on the firm's "analyst focus list."
"This leaves AAL, with a management team that has tackled integration in the past and is starting from a base of profitability already rivaling DAL's," Baker wrote. Like McAdoo, he warned that emergence from bankruptcy, accompanied by equity distributions, can lead to selling pressure. Delta, he said, lost 18% of its value in the first month after emerging from bankruptcy, while United lost 10%.
Wolfe Research analyst Hunter Keay also said he sees favorable comparisons with United and Delta. In a recent report, Keay wrote that new American's "large discount to Delta and United is simply too much."
Keay also suggested "that the AAL merger integration risks are overblown (because) labor is large mollified entering the process and hard knocks IT experience from US Airways' prior merger (same executives, same reservations systems) should yield valuable lessons learned." He has a $39 price target and calls AAL his top pick.

Massive Short Squeeze As Expected.
With less float, and many shares locked in and recent news of AAL beating all the other competitor airlines with many sales figures, American Airlines rockets higher.
Done Deal!

Scottrade update
My options now show on my Scottrade account screen, they have doubled (Another 100% Gain) in two days. So it looks like the merger and account changes are showing now, glad I held and did not sell the options. I bought each option at $30.00, today they are valued at $2,250.00 each. :)
People
I did this last time, someone please go make a new Excel sheet at this website http://www.numsum.com/ then make sure to make it public and share it on here.
Add questions and answers, you can add a question on a cell and have a comment behind the cell with the answer, will look neat and tidy.
:) We (those that bought AAMRQ under $10.00 before merger day) are all making a TON of money on this deal/merger, if you think you are not you are doing the wrong math, period!
Dance More!
My Scottrade Account
I only held options on AAMRQ (Jan 2014 $3.00 Calls)
I am and have held my contracts for about 1 1/2 years
- My AAMRQ (Jan 2014 $3.00 Calls) Are Not Showing in my Account This AM
- Showing now is (AAL JAN 18 2014 AJ1 3.00 C)
- My Account has Dropped in Total Value (I think as the new option has not traded yet even one contract)
- When looking up My Same Converted Option on Scottrade it shows two variants of each option that use to trade as AAMRQ
A) (AAL JAN 18 2014 AJ1 3.00 C)
B) (AAL JAN 18 2014 AJ2 3.00 C)
- As of now, there are no trades today on either, but
A) (AAL JAN 18 2014 AJ1 3.00 C) Bid/Ask is 0x0
B) (AAL JAN 18 2014 AJ2 3.00 C) Bid/Ask is 21.30x22.30
I am still not awake yet, but of course I am a bit confused as to how this will work out as
1) My Options Show No bid/ask. (AAL JAN 18 2014 AJ1 3.00 C)
2) I still do not see or know if I will receive additional options as a distribution.
3) I do not know if my options will trade at all (AAL JAN 18 2014 AJ1 3.00 C)
4) I have no idea if I can sell them or convert them to shares of AAL
SO pretty much, I am in "yay" mode. LOL - No Idea yet what to expect, will call a few of those involved soon to see what I can find out.
AAL is trading higher by already another 2%
Edseldope - thanks man, glad we have another Scottrader. :) Good to know thanks.
Just bought the Jan 2016 $10.00 Calls, already bought the Jan 2015 $7.00 Calls two weeks ago, FYI.
I love this NBG/Greece-Turn-Around play, I feel this stock (NBG) will trade in advance, meaning it will rise BIG on expectations of a Greece turnaround. The DOW and NASDAQ did the EXACT same thing prior to the USA turning around, this should be no different IMO!
NBG should move higher for a long time starting about now IMO. I'm a buyer! As far out as possible on the options is my take, any of the ones trading today are good in my opinion as this should move well over $10.00 by January 2015-2016.

Good answer, thank you, yes that was sort of what I was looking for. BIG thanks! I will wait it out a bit, if I have one option that would have worked better over the other option like should I have converted or just held, as no-one had any good info I might be able to force Scottrade into settling a dispute per a sort of breach of fiduciary duty, so to speak. Cause it was a weird one, can also pull in the SEC to force them to settle my dispute, hate doing it that way, but we will see.
Thanks everyone for listening...
jmax99grad, thanks...
I spoke with Scottrade options specialist last Friday and also TheOCC.Com, they all seemed to be a bit clueless, at this point once the dust settles I am pretty sure this situation (as no-one had ANY clear answers) should leave me in a position to have more than one option on what I can do. Might have to battle it a bit but I would think I have a say in it.
I was told my AAMRQ options would convert to AAL options, and that TheOCC did mention distribution possible, so yah, who the heck knows, will have to wait, unless anyone else has more info.
CRichard
For the moment I am being patient, as I THINK I am ok as I want to sit on it a bit more, just wish I knew what was happening to my options and what price they are trading at.
If anyone else held the '$3 Jan 2014 Call Options' through this symbol change and the merger as I am doing, please let me know what you can. Jees... seems no-one knows anything and by today they sure should.
PS Carlos/Others, if you need a new Excel sheet made online let me know, but let's all be sure we have the CORRECT formulas... might make it easier to solve for all those who will be asking and for 'us' to keep track. Preferably I can make an Excel sheet that would cover most all issues on one page (Excel doc).
Best to all!
I have no idea what my 'AAMRQ', 'January 2014 $3.00 calls' are trading at, anyone know. Scottrade has not changed my account, I read all the memos from TheOCC.Com, but I can't find option bid and ask prices for anything, not AAMRQ, not LCC, not AAL.
So confusing lol.
OMG I feel so much better the lawsuit is over myself, good work AAMRQ/AAG longs! Woooooooooooooooooooooooo!
3 options contracts give you the option to own 300 shares (depends on the strike price) - if you own the $3.00 calls then you have that right at $3.00 per share yes. The rest I am not sure about lol.
getarealjob, the 2015 $7 calls are about $35.00 each. An ask of .35 really means $35.00
Like today the ask for AAMRQ Jan 2014 $3.00 calls ended at about 8.50 so that means $850.00 each, as an example.
So you could get about 3-Options of the $7.00 Jan-2015 calls on NBG so to speak.
Re: AAMRQ, I stayed in the options, will let them convert over to AAG next week, no-one had any good answers... but the recent TheOCC.Com memo states that the optiosn will convert. And did state there will be a distribution; if all goes to hell, I think I have a case for Per 29 USC § 1109 (maybe). :) I think I will be fine. Later I will make a plan to convert to stock.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A federal judge on Friday rejected a last-ditch effort by consumers and travel agents to stop American Airlines and US Airways from merging next week, a move they fear would drive prices up and service down and make planes more crowded.
The combination of American's parent AMR Corp (AAMRQ.PK) and US Airways Group Inc (LCC) would create the world's largest carrier and would follow last month's resolution of antitrust objections by the U.S. Department of Justice.
That settlement requires the airlines to shed some landing slots and gates at several airports, including in New York and Washington, D.C., and had won approval on November 27 from U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane, who oversees AMR's Chapter 11 case.
AMR has said it hoped to complete the merger on December 9.
In their appeal in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan, plaintiffs led by California resident Carolyn Fjord urged that Lane's order be put on hold, saying they would face irreparable harm if the "anticompetitive" merger went forward.
According to a Wednesday court filing, the consumers and travel agents said combining the carriers could result in fewer flights and available seats, higher fares, poorer service and lower competition, and would be hard to undo once completed.
At a Friday hearing, Chief Judge Loretta Preska of the U.S. District Court in Manhattan said the plaintiffs had failed to show irreparable harm.
"I adopt Judge Lane's rendition of the law in all respects," she said.
Joseph Alioto, a lawyer for the consumers and travel agents, indicated at the hearing he would seek an appeal. But Preska denied Alioto's request to suspend the effect of her ruling pending an appeal.
The case is Fjord v. AMR Corp et al, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, No. 13-ap-01392. The main bankruptcy case is In re: AMR Corp et al in the same court, No. 11-15463.

lwc23 I am watching/buying NBG Options as far out as possible. Check open interest, very very interesting.
Best to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!
Just spoke with options specialist at ScottTrade HQ, they still do not know what will happen exactly with my options, nor does TheOCC, just crazy!
But the ask just rose on the $5.00 Jan 2014 calls from like $600 to like $900 in minutes after my posting, and someone bought 75 of the $5.00 strike price.
Just crazy, no idea how this will work out an no-one else does either, sooo much fun.
But Scottrade and I agreed that (opinion) someone seems to think it's going to be a favorable outcome. Who knows.
