Social Security meets the definition of a Ponzi scheme. It is only legal because the Federal government is running it. If anyone did the same exact thing privately, they would be prosecuted.
scam? fraud?
Deli is a crook but he wasn't running a Ponzi scheme. Social Security is an example of a Ponzi scheme.
I still have to use the freeway off ramps where they hang out.
How about we just kill the beggar and solve the problem?
Gates has actually transferred his to the charitable foundation. Buffet gives $5 billion a year of his pile over a 10 year period.
More than half. Of course, when you still have more than $10 billion each left over is it really a hardship?
How exciting.....
Is that like bacon wrapped shrimp but no bacon?
Sure he's a billionaire, but dollar for donated dollar, he makes Bill Gates and Warren Buffet look like pikers.
Buffett and Gates have each given away about $40 billion.
He's not crazy... He lies and distorts facts intentionally.
The relevant portion from the 60 minutes interview is shown below. Can't find where he said, "he enjoyed it."
KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.
Mr. SOROS: Yes. Yes.
KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.
Mr. SOROS: Yes. That's right. Yes.
KROFT: I mean, that's -- that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?
Mr. SOROS: Not -- not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don't -- you don't see the connection. But it was -- it created no -- no problem at all.
KROFT: No feeling of guilt?
Mr. SOROS: No.
KROFT: For example that, 'I'm Jewish and here I am, watching these people go. I could just as easily be there. I should be there.' None of that?
Mr. SOROS: Well, of course I c -- I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldn't be there, because that was -- well, actually, in a funny way, it's just like in markets -- that if I weren't there -- of course, I wasn't doing it, but somebody else would -- would -- would be taking it away anyhow. And it was the -- whether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was being taken away. So the -- I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt.
Soros was a Jewish teeenager in Hungary during the Holocaust. During the war he was 9 years old when it started and 14 years old when it ended. I don't know how politically savvy you were at 9, 10, or 11 years old but I doubt you would have run up to the Germans and shouted "I am a jew" knowing that they would kill you.
I can't fault a kid pretending to be someone else who was Christian in order to stay alive.
Looking at today's price increase, apparently the market thinks things are looking up.
ROK getting close to $100
I don't think HRCT even has much "shell" value.
$811 is probably better than waiting and getting nothing. You could take a flight to Hawaii for $811.
It doesn't appear that anyone on the BAM side is too concerned about it.
That's about 4% annual return. Not great but not the worst.
I don't have to tell myself that.... it has been proven and the judge has thrown out Al's suit. You are holding worthless CMKX shares and that should tell you a lot.
There never was a "sting." Hodges lost and he never had any evidence to back up his claims.
I think $91.18 is a new high.
The wells seem to be coming in on a regular basis. Too bad the price of natural gas isn't moving up like oil.
There never were any "counterfeit" shares in CMKX.
And what does "implace" mean? I can't find it in the dictionary.
Where are your sentences "running" to?
Screaming will not make your fantasies any more believable.
Since you obviously don't have a clue, you shouldn't be throwing your money at penny stock scams.
It would also help if you learned how to write in a coherent manner. Run on sentences seem to be a favorite with you as well as a lot of common spelling errors. Not to mention capitalization errors.
FX Energy Announces Drilling Start on Plawce-2 Tight Gas Well
SALT LAKE CITY, March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- FX Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq:FXEN - News) today announced that drilling has commenced on the Plawce-2 well near the north border of the Fences concession. Plawce-2 is targeting Rotliegend sands at an estimated depth of approximately 3,729 meters. Plans call for drilling to a vertical depth of approximately 4,000 meters. Following evaluation of cores, logs and flow tests, the parties may consider fraccing the vertical well and/or drilling a long reach multi frac horizontal section. PGNiG operates the Fences concession and the Plawce-2 well and owns 51% interest; the Company owns 49%.
The Siekierki Plawce tight gas area was discovered by a series of five wells drilled in the 1970's and 1980's by PGNiG. These wells encountered gas columns of more than 100 meters in tight Rotliegend sandstone. Recently, Aurelian Oil and Gas PLC has drilled and fracced two wells which successfully tested gas and is now drilling a third well in this tight sandstone immediately to the north of the Fences concession. The closest producing analog is the Soehlingen field in northern Germany, operated by ExxonMobil.
Machnatka-2 well in Warsaw South Concession
The Company also reported that it has started the tender process to select the rig for drilling the Machnatka-2 well, a test of both the Zechstein and the Carboniferous horizons in the Company's 880,000 acre Warsaw South concession located in Eastern Poland. The Company is the operator and expects to award the drilling contract next month with drilling operations commencing during the second quarter this year. The Company has signed a letter of intent under which PGNiG may earn up to 49% interest.
Kutno-2 well in Kutno Concession
The Kutno-2 well is also in the tender process with pre-qualification offers from drilling companies expected to be received as early as this week. The Company is the operator of this 35,000 acre Rotliegend structure located in central Poland at a depth of 6,500 meters. The Company has signed a joint operating agreement under which PGNiG may earn 50% interest, and a letter of intent under which Kulczyk Investments LLC may earn up to 25% interest.
Bakken test well in US Cut Bank Field
In the US, the Company is preparing to re-enter one of its existing wells in the Cut Bank field in northern Montana in the next few days. The Company will deepen the well to test CO2 potential in the Duperow, and oil potential in the Nisku, Three Forks, Bakken and Lodgepole formations. Data from this operation will help shape the Company's plans near term; the well will be plugged when testing is complete.
David Pierce, FX Energy's Chief Executive Officer, said, "The Plawce-2 well is an important test of this very large tight reservoir. If successful, the Plawce-2 well could have positive implications for a significant portion of our acreage in the northern border area of the Fences concession. We look forward to evaluating the results of the vertical section of this well in a few months time. We will make our drilling, completion and fraccing decisions based on data and with a focus on economics. In the meantime, we are preparing to start three other wells in the next few months: Machnatka-2 in the Warsaw South concession, Kutno-2 in the Kutno concession, and a Bakken test well in our US Cut Bank field. Plawce-2 and each of the three other wells could have a material impact on the Company. This should be an exciting year for us on the drilling front."

Rokin' and rollin' again today.
Three Mile Island - On March 28, 1979, there was a cooling system malfunction that caused a partial melt-down of the reactor core. This loss-of-coolant accident resulted in the release of a significant amount of radioactivity, estimated at 43,000 curies (1.59 PBq) of radioactive krypton-85 gas (half life 10 yrs), but less than 20 curies (740 GBq) of the especially hazardous iodine-131 (half life 8 days), into the surrounding environment.[1]
The nuclear power industry claims that there were no deaths, injuries or adverse health effects from the accident, and a report by Columbia University epidemiologist Maureen Hatch agrees with this finding. Another study by Steven Wing of the University of North Carolina found that lung cancer and leukemia rates were 2 to 10 times higher downwind of TMI than upwind. The Radiation and Public Health Project reported a spike in infant mortality in the downwind communities two years after the accident.
Volume looks a little slow today.
It wasn't included because it never happened.
Hodges never had any evidence.
I was referring to the ADR price. If you divide the current price by 5 you will get the equivilant price for before they adjusted the ADR. The ADR used to represent 2 shares and now it represents 10.
Are you sure this one hasn't moved on?
The current price is the equivilant of $0.62 before the R/S. Today's news on AIB isn't making things look any better.
Motley Fool has an article on it at http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2011/03/10/fx-energy-shares-plunged-what-you-need-to-know.aspx
Title of Article: FX Energy Shares Plunged: What You Need to Know
Basically the price drop is the result of issuing six million shares to fund further drilling but the current price is above the issuance price so apparently general sentiment is that the price will recover.
You must be overlooking the massive volume of HRCT stock traded today.
Without an ultimate long-term business, a company (and thus its security) has no reason to exist. A security that has a great underlying business can power returns for years, whereas a financially engineered security exists to capture a trend in the market, which may or may not last.
Volume picking up today.
