FBC: Don't mean to be repetitive, but one of these days this is going to jump to $1 and then move from there.
Also I've started accumulating ECYT anywhere under $4.
Best of luck everyone!
Damn, and I thought asking my wife if she'd seen my glasses when they were still on my head was going to be my dumbest question of the day.
Keep up the good work!
Yes. Truthfully, I prefer a straight yearly subscription without the recurring feature, but the ads would be distracting.
Shelly- Can a recurring subscriber simply change that status the day before his/her current subsciption expires? TIA.
OT: Komen Foundation- Their initial decision baffled me until I read this in an AP story earlier this morning:
According to the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of repercussions, a driving force behind the move was Karen Handel, who was hired by Komen last year as vice president for public policy after losing a campaign for governor in Georgia in which she stressed her anti-abortion views and denounced Planned Parenthood.
Congrats to you guys!
Romney lookin like fool with that jobs number out
OT: Still trying to determine the worth of multi-vitamins.
Peter- I re-read the JAMA article and saw that the subjects received 400 IU of Vitamin E; the RDA is 22.4.
The best article I could find (geared towards a layman) was from the National Institutes of Health—http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/vitamine/ — and it emphasizes that most people just take too darn much!
The Montiff-brand MV's I purchased contain 10 IU.
I'm thinking that they're well within a safe limit.
Gary
Yep, when it comes to investing it's often the epilogue that's truly frightening.
Dietary supplementation with vitamin E significantly increased the risk of prostate cancer among healthy men
OT: Supplements- On the advice of Bladerunner I purchased a multi-vitamin made by Montiff. A bit pricey, but I'm willing to try.
The other club drug that appears to have significant potential is ecstasy

a homeowner can lease solar panels and the monthly payment is less than the avoided utility cost.
U.S. Silica goes public after 111 years
Company produces materials for hydraulic fracturing, solar panels
[I still can’t see the average homeowner going with solar panels—the cost recovery time is too long—but he’s certainly correct that “the U.S. shale revolution is here to stay.”]

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Shares of U.S. Silica Holdings Inc. fell in their trading debut Wednesday as the mining firm with roots going back more than a century raised $200 million in its initial public offering.
U.S. Silica Holdings priced 11.76 million shares at $17 each, the middle of the range estimated for the IPO. In recent trading, the stock fell 2.4% to $16.57.
The producer of silica used in hydraulic fracturing and solar panels was acquired in 2008 by Golden Gate Private Equity Inc. It ranks as the second-largest producer in the U.S. after Unimin, a unit of Belgium-based Sibelco Group.
Golden Gate sold 8.8 million shares in U.S. Silica’s IPO, while U.S. Silica offered 2.9 million shares.
Bryan Shinn, U.S. Silica’s chief executive, said the company originated in West Virginia as a supplier of raw material for glass used in the manufacturing sector in Pittsburgh, before it moved to its current headquarters in Frederick, Md.
The company’s growth prospects are tied partially to the rise in domestic shale oil and gas production, which uses sand to break up rock underground to free-up fossil fuel in the hydraulic fracturing process, also known as fracking.
“The market [for fracking sand] is in extremely short supply right now,” Shinn said in a phone interview. “The U.S. shale revolution is here to stay. We’re in the early innings right now.”
In the nine months ended Sept. 30, U.S. Silica’s net income more than doubled to $20.2 million on sales of $212 million, compared to $7.6 million earned on revenue of $186 million in the comparable period during 2010.
U.S. Silica also makes raw materials for solar panels, with the company seeing demand both domestically and abroad for glass products derived from its sand.

Alternative medicine in the meaning that applies to such websites as mercola.com is not only injurious to individual patients, but also to society as a whole. There is only so much available funding in the aggregate for medical research, so amounts consumed in the pursuit of junk science reduce what is available for serious inquiry
I am curious if anyone else has felt the same or cares to contradict my impression (other than Dr. Mercola ).
Piece of cake compared to the NBA labor dispute :- )
Guster is correct: a 6-month extension is usually granted, so actually they have until August. Hopefully they'll have fulfilled the NYSE requirements by then.
Best of luck.
Couldn't agree more, it's not accurately valuated by the market but the market is not rational.
What I'm emphasizing is that this is a very gradual play, it's going to take time. I wouldn't be surprised to see this above $2 by the end of the year--but not tomorrow!
Best of luck.
Wednesday we find out if anyone really cares for FBC.
CHK sure looks cheap here in low $21's
UBS raised its price target on MNTA from 19 to 22.
Hanging in there: researching more, trading less, it's tough out there!
When opportunity knocks? the ambitious will take advantage.
FBC: I've had to be very, very patient with this one but still strongly feel that it will hit my $1.25 - $1.50 target within the next few months.
Best of luck!
Re: Byproduct of the Bakken success. I’m probably one of the few people on iHub who has actually been in Tioga. Unless you’re interested in snowmobiling, bowling, or joining the Sons of Norway, I would not recommend it as a vacation destination.
More seriously, I’m very interested in the Bakken as a societal phenomenon. It’s certainly analogous to the Alaskan pipeline boom, and without stretching things too far, the Gold Rush.
The long-term effect on the neighborhood, local, and statewide economy and society won’t be known for many years, if not decades. If it creates a permanent improvement, great; if it’s just another temporary “rich-get-richer” deal, not so great.
The local economic impact is like something out of the Gold Rush.
My oldest friend—a Minot native now living in western Mass.—is keeping close tabs on the housing situation. He says that in the surrounding small towns and the few sizable cities some oil field workers have gone from mere double-bunking—two people sharing a living space meant for one—to outright hot-bunking: two workers on different shifts using the same bed!
Oil milestone attained:State producing half a million barrels a day
[Now 10% of U.S. production, will probably surpass Alaska by 2013. Wow, just wow.]

BISMARCK: The preliminary November data released Tuesday by the North Dakota Oil and Gas Division indicates North Dakota now is producing more than half a million barrels of oil per day.
That's about 510,000 barrels produced a day in the month of November.
"This is big news for the state and the country. A half a million barrels a day represents about 10 percent of U.S. production. That's enough oil to displace imports from Iraq or Columbia," said Lynn Helms, Bismarck, director of the North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources, in a news release issued Tuesday. The Oil and Gas Division is a division of the N.D. Department of Mineral Resources.
The preliminary November data is an increase of about 22,000 barrels from October and an increase of more than 150,000 barrels a day from one year ago, according to the news release.
"Oil production in the state has increased anywhere from 8,000 to 40,000 barrels a day, every month since June," Helms said.
North Dakota continues to set oil production records and appears to be on the path to surpass both California and Alaska to become the No. 2 oil-producing state in the U.S.
Alison Ritter, public information specialist for the N.D. Department of Mineral Resources, told The Minot Daily News in December that surpassing California and Alaska will depend on how much those states decline in oil production.
Last month, N.D. regulators said North Dakota could surpass California as soon as early 2012 but it probably wouldn't surpass Alaska until 2013.
Recent data from California, the number three oil-producing state in the country, is producing about 570,000 barrels a day, state regulators said this week.
Total production numbers for November show North Dakota producing nearly 15.3 million barrels in that month, as well as having 6,300 producing wells, according to state officials.
Data for December will not be released until February, officials said.

ND alfalfa, winter wheat have little snow cover
[Record warmth in the Dakotas.]

January 4, 2012
FARGO (AP) - North Dakota has little snow so far this winter, and that isn't good news for winter wheat and alfalfa producers.
The Agriculture Department says in its latest crop, livestock and weather report that snow cover protection for alfalfa is rated 98 percent poor, and for winter wheat 94 percent poor.
Average snow depth in North Dakota as of Sunday was two-tenths of an inch, compared to more than 18 inches at the same time last year. No snow accumulation is reported in the west central, southwest and south central parts of the state.
It's a favor to shareholders who've torn theirs out over the years.
