MDGC...I don't have any better answers than anyone else, but more often than not with these kinds of stock...when the run has happened stay the hell away from them.
I sold my AENY today. Now that it had a little pop recently it seems the interest is already gone...maybe not, I don't know, but especially in the current economic environment nothing too long makes any sense to me. FWIW
It might have been a little handier if the Obama admin. had made this declaration in our country rather than a foreign county.
And then Arizona should sue the Federal Government as the Feds version of the immigration law actually allows for profiling.
So why the double standard by Obama and the Feds?
Can you say "Dem voter block" at stake here!
Looks like our Traitor-in-Chief is at it again...
"Clinton said in an interview with a TV station in Ecuador that the Obama administration "will be bringing" suit against Arizona for its immigration law, though the Justice Department for weeks has said that the issue is still under review."

I agree. That's why I wouldn't even consider BP unless a big crash in the pps happened, then maybe.
The money may have already been made this time around?
Especially the CEOs. lol
Off the beaten path...

I probably won't either, but it doesn't cost me anything to have an opinion about a stock. ;)

"Oil and gas
leaks into the Gulf and have occurred for thousands of years. Oil naturally seeps from subsea reservoirs all over the world; producers even look for natural seeps as an indicator of good regions for further exploration. Although the exact amount of oil seepage is unknown, estimates suggest that 1 to 1.5 million barrels of oil (42 to 63 million gallons) leak into the Gulf of Mexico each year. Here’s a satellite image (see link below) from NASA dated 2006 that shows several oil seeps in the Gulf."
"And it’s not just the rigs. Deepwater projects are extremely service-intensive. Companies such as Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB) and Baker Hughes (NYSE: BHI) have sizable workforces stationed in the Gulf--workers experienced in handling all sorts of functions related to drilling technically complex wells. The services firms will likely relocate staff members to other deepwater regions."

Looks like legal action may be in the works for Hemi's CEO.
Hope he does some time in prison. Maybe he and his pal Matt can share a cell. ;)

Over The Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB): Your Days May Be Numbered
By Jonathan
There is talk within the industry that the OTC Bulletin Board as we know it may be coming to an end. Why? Let’s look at the facts. For starters, the OTCBB was created twenty years ago as a result of the Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 as a way of differentiating and promoting small businesses in the United States. The OTCBB is currently owned by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, better known as FINRA. Certainly there is a conflict of interest in both owning and regulating at the same time, but that’s not what’s really important. What is relevant is that the system has received little upgrades in those twenty years and the platform is now what many consider archaic as FINRA has done little to promote the OTCBB and even less to keep it up to date with technology. Also factual, FINRA has had the OTCBB up for sale since last September.
So what will become of things if the OTCBB disappears? There are several options. The OTCBB could be purchased and undergo a major overhaul to update the technologies. A more viable answer, however, is the possible incorporation with a platform such as the emerging Pink OTC Markets. The Pink OTC Markets purchased the nearly 100 year old Pink Sheets and has been growing and transforming the quotation platform consistently over the last few years. What started as a quotation system for only small, non-exchanged listed companies has now grown into a three-tier ranking system that includes about 99% of all OTC listed companies. In fact, there are less than 60 companies that are currently only quoted on the Bulletin Board.
Pink OTC is a logical choice for many reasons, but its three-tier system is especially enticing for investors to differentiate the quality of a corporation. The process is along the same lines as being a publicly traded company. Each exchange carries regulations and a hierarchy (i.e. NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX). The same would run true for the OTCBB. In order to not try and have to re-write every ticker for every OTC listed company, the Bulletin Board exchange would have sub-listings. Presently, Pink OTC’s three tiers are:
• Pink Sheets: for companies that undertake minimal reporting and disclosure
• OTCQB: for registered and SEC reporting companies
• OTCQX: for companies that submit themselves to further scrutiny and meet specific minimum thresholds
The OTCQX is designed to be the final step as companies look to move to larger exchanges.
A key component to the Pink OTC Markets is the desire to provide protection to investors, putting an end to scam corporations and legitimizing the OTC industry. In a world that has become wrought with inconsistencies and its reputation damaged virtually beyond repair, Pink OTC is stepping forth to correct years of damage. “We are sending the message that this is not the old OTC,” said Tim Ryan, the head of business development at Pink OTC Markets.
Pink OTC has invested considerable time and finances in developing their quotation platform to the state-of-the-art technological level that it now is. It would seem logical that they may be interested in advancing their business strategy to the next level by purchasing the OTCBB. Rumor has it that the two organizations (FINRA and Pink OTC) are in negotiations, but no official press has been released regarding offers being submitted or accepted.

Are you thinking this could just be a face lift to extend the con by making it sound like they give a damn?
I posted this on the Harvest board. Thanx Jag
I went sailing once many years ago on a catamaran and is was way cool. We even got it up on one pontoon.
Silent power is how I describe it. ;)
Welcome back Ken. You've got family here too. ;)
Yeah, it has been pretty quiet lately.
I've been thinking about getting back into music and this time I want to try mandolin. ;)
Check this out...
Sorry for your loss Ken. We are all glad your back with us now.
Relax for awhile and don't get too worried about the market.

Hi azure, hope you weren't offended by my smart azz remark about the 940 the other day.
Just my sick sense of humor. ;)

HELP IS ON THE WAY
Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown in the
economy, Congress has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 50
years of age and above on early retirement, thus creating jobs and reducing
unemployment.
This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).
Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to Congress to be considered for the
SHAFT program (Special Help After Forced Termination).
Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW
program (System Covering Retired-Early Workers).
A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as
Congress deems appropriate.
Persons who have been RAPED could get AIDS
(Additional Income for Dependants & Spouse) or
HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance).
Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any
further by Congress.
Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on
will receive as much SHIT (Special High Intensity
Training) as possible. Congress has always prided
themselves on the amount of SHIT they give our citizens.
Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please bring this to
the attention of your Congressman, who has been trained to give you all the
SHIT you can handle.
Sincerely,
The Committee for Economic Value of
Individual Lives (E.V.I.L.)
PS - - Due to recent budget cuts and the
rising cost of electricity, gas and oil, as well as
current market conditions, the Light at the
End of the Tunnel has been turned off.
That too. ;)
It will be months before the spill is capped and anything could happen to the pps during that time.
I don't think he ever meant to hit the mark.
Selling toilet paper is the goal here.
I wouldn't trust a BP investment right now as the Pres. is making some Brits unhappy. Too shakey for me.

Sometimes this stuff is nothing more than posturing, but in the case of Iran it may have to happen. Those guys are loons!
I took an army soldier (on his way to Afgan.) to the airport yesterday in my cab. He filled me in a little and as most of us already know, even the semi-loons in the middle east are very concerned about Iran.
You guys are right on with this thread.
I'm reading a fun book..."Are you a liberal, a conservative, or just confused" under the alias of Uncle Eric.
He has a whole series that I want to read.
Our world is in a mess at present and the morons are in charge.
Bingo!
Monday will be two months since this post...
