Never been to Yuma, I would imagine that it is one of those desert growth areas.
Yeah it might not be "that" new, I understand. I will have to find a way to hear from owners of these cars about that and other technologies introduced in the last 5 to 10 years.
Sounds like Chevy, GM is on the right track. Go Rick Wagoner I guess.
My sister lives in Southern California so there is a draw there but havent done so lately. You guys are in Yuma, Arizona ?
New camaro.
They have a way to shut down most of the cylinders at highway speeds (close to 30mpg and 400hp)
If it is based on the corvette aluminum 6.0 liter V-8, than I would like to hear from them what they think of it. The active cylinder fuel management sounds revolutionary I dont know anyone else doing that. If the fuel is shutoff to opposing cylinders ( for balance ), I wonder what that will sound and behave like on the highway, probably will only work in the highest gear (of course ), cant think of any reliability concerns for that really. Thats the best of both worlds if it works ( high hp and torque, and decent efficiency ).
JPHC yes it definately has reasons to build excellent volume as of late and it appears to be falling into place so the wall is crumbling for sure.
AXIGE High 52 is 80.... Wow, talk about a slide lets recover now
AXIGE could go back to November 2005 levels of 0.24 that would be nice.
PXIT an interesting Friday and Monday
JPHC extreeeeeemely high volume today, could it be rising out of the ashes?
AXIGE, uhoh is it forming the downward ramp ?
Goooo JPHC
AXIGE almost brings tears at 71 X initial investment from .0013
PXIT also gapping
AXIGE would not have guessed that gapper
JPHC is a pinky but particularly busy today
Glad people are liking its looks, I sure do. Are they planning on 30 mpg on a 400 hp powerplant ? That would be new miracles in engine design if that was possible.
Fun to watch, have a great trading day.

Well they will help people in places like Massachusetts from getting too "stale" in their thinking IMOP so good luck to them.
Yeah the toughest sells for GM will be the 60's and early 70's camaro enthusiasts, I liked those and like this one as well.
Snowstorm brings good luck to trading week ending February 17, 2006. News friday at 11pm.

So there you have it not bad for a Sunday.
Mormon church small but expanding in liberal Massachusetts
By Jay Lindsay, The Associated Press
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — A steady winter breeze isn't all that chills the streets for Mormon missionaries Jeremy Christensen and Cameron Johnson. The two 21-year-olds from Idaho get cool treatment from would-be converts as they approach, offering smiles and salvation.

More than 20 people brush them off without breaking stride over an hour-long walk on a recent weekday. Others pause to be rude.
"I'm going to hell, but it's by choice," said one man. "I don't want to spend my eternity with people like you."
Progress can be slow for emissaries of a culturally conservative faith in a liberal, heavily Roman Catholic state. But persistence has had rewards. Statewide, church numbers show Mormons gaining a foothold that local church leaders believe will grow much bigger.
Between 1994 and 2004, Massachusetts membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints increased 56%, from 14,840 to 23,161. That's tiny, compared to the state's 3 million-member Catholic church. But it approaches the 33,400 state members of the Unitarian Universalist Association, whose roots in Massachusetts go back to the 18th century.
Mormons now have 39 congregations, or "wards," in the state, compared to 15 in 1980. To the west of Boston, the only Mormon temple in New England has a granite grip on a hill in the suburb of Belmont, home to perhaps the church's most prominent member: Gov. Mitt Romney. Others members include Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge and several noted academics, including Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard history professor Laurel Ulrich.
Harvard business professor Clayton Christensen, a Mormon elder, points to the appeal of area universities on an increasingly wealthy and well-educated church population. Another draw, he said, is a fulfilling egalitarianism in which lay people, rather than clergymen, lead local congregations, and all take responsibility for their needy.
Massachusetts "is a perfect, fertile ground," Christensen said.
Alan Wolfe, head of the Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life at Boston College, said he can't imagine Mormonism growing to a sizable faith in a state where Catholicism is dominant.
"Massachusetts is a relatively stable place in terms of religious composition, and I don't think it's really going to change that much," he said.
In the mid-1800s, Boston was home to a 400-member Mormon congregation, at the time the largest in the eastern United States. But it disbanded shortly after the slaying of founder Joseph Smith in 1844, when Mormons fled widespread persecution with a mass migration to the valley of the Great Salt Lake.
It took more than a century for Mormons to return in notable numbers to Massachusetts in the 1960s. Ulrich said the church in recent decades has cultivated an "intellectual elite" at church-run Brigham Young University, which has been drawn to the Boston area's renowned universities.
"We're probably importing a lot of people," Ulrich said.
Mormons have also pushed evangelization in immigrant communities. Four of the 22 wards in the Boston area speak a language other than English, including Spanish and Portuguese, Christensen said. About 140 Mormon missionaries work daily in Massachusetts, spreading the faith through street evangelism and door-to-door visits.
Former Harvard Business School Dean Kim Clark said he was confronted by "bizarre" misconceptions about his faith when he moved to New England in late 1960s, including the belief that the church still practiced polygamy and rejected Christ.
Now, the church has broader acceptance as Mormons have become more visible, said Clark, who left the state last year to become president of Brigham Young University-Idaho. Clark said Romney, with his clean-cut manner and wholesome family life, has given the church a prominent ambassador.
While Mormon membership in Massachusetts has clearly grown, the rolls can be inflated by loose membership rules. Children are baptized into the church and become members at age 8. The only way for somebody to be taken out of the membership is by excommunication or to request removal. Other churches remove people from membership lists if they never attend.
The Mormon temple overlooks a primary highway into Boston and is, by far, the most visible sign of the church's presence in Massachusetts. It was fiercely opposed by neighbors before its construction in 2000 because of its 139-foot spire, and yet that controversy awakened the general public to the church's presence in the state, Christensen said.
In a brisk walk between the temple and a meetinghouse below, Christensen explained his certainty about the bright future of his faith in Massachusetts.
"The truth," he said, "has strong legs."
So does this mean the Float has just been repurchassed by Ray Hawkins ?
I am long with a small position of JPHC at .0007 so naturally the buybacks and buyout plans will "hopefully" help us out here.
Mention of share issuance to buy out debt completely sounds significant from the latest news release on the 10th.
Hello Plumber, Yeah I bailed on RB a few weeks ago, ridiculous.
PTSC according to "unaudited" financials they are buying their way out of debt as of recent ???? Any comments on that one, it already has a run built into it.
I want to comend those who created the front page for this board, whew... its getting hot in here.
Let the games begin, so they are officially underway as of yesterday? Ok here we go....
I need to learn more about this team seeing as how I am a self proclaimed "fan". It is a deeper team than brady and belichek that is for sure. Who has favorites and why is the best way for me to begin to learn.
This company is going to have to fill its pipeline again with new product ideas or else risk losing the gains of the last 3 to 5 years. Wish them luck though for they are one of the goodies.
Items of interest triple digit ( 100% ) or greater EPS and/or Revenue growth in legit stocks that arent faking it. Hmmm maybe I could start a board with that concept.
JCOM's reuters earnings "expectations" I believe were set a notch too high, but hard to say really.
What is this board about, I am confused
