I think Celine Dion offers the highest ticket prices but the most intimate show setting and therefore has to work harder at it (ie more shows) is what I interpret from the ticket sales results.
Glad I dumped CHID at 0% Loss, what a cranky stock that is being today.
U2 does an equal amount of "borrowing" as well, often times their ideas are not their own.
Trust me they are all "sharing" ideas for fan productions, whatever looks good to us visual consumers they tend to go with. I liked when the tongue unrolled and the fans showed up underneath cheering the band, nice touch I thought.
SLGLF is maintaining its rally and MSEV appears not to be doing that.
MSEV is looking good
SLGLF building volume
SLGLF good news
GFPE moving for some reason
I disagreed with Cramer about JCOM he said that it is too expensive, and that it went bankrupt, but the curve, eps, revenues and forecasts are great so, not sure about that call.
CHID also with good news

Venture Capital Pours into Nanotech, Nanotech Venture Capital... [FSLHSKM]
Venture Capital Pours into Nanotech,Nanotech Venture Capital Totaled $480 Million in 2005, Bringing Total Investment to $2.0 Billion
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--Jan. 9, 2006--
Venture capital (VC) funding for nanotechnology
start-ups has been more notable by its absence than its presence to date. But investment is steadily rising: Institutional venture capitalists put $480 million into nanotechnology start-ups in 2005 - bringing total investment since 1995 to $2.0 billion - according to a new report from Lux Research entitled "Making Sense of Nanotech Venture Capital."
"Venture capital investment for nanotechnology rose strongly in
2005 due to large, late-stage funding rounds for firms like Aspen Aerogels, Nanomix, and Nanosys," said Lux Research Vice President of Research Matthew M. Nordan, lead author of the report. "But venture capital still remains a drop in the bucket of total nanotech investment, outstripped by corporate R&D spending and government funding by a factor of 19x. The reason is that the success of nanotech venture investing is still too early to call: Only 9% of venture-backed nanotech start-ups to date have achieved exits."
To assess nanotech venture capital, Lux Research built a
comprehensive database of all institutional venture capital
investments in nanotech start-ups since 1995, covering 258 investments into 143 start-up companies spanning 13 countries. The deals include both publicly announced transactions as well as undisclosed investments sourced through Lux Research's proprietary network. In addition, the report team spoke with partners at a representative sample of 28 top-tier venture capital firms to understand their experiences and expectations with nanotech start-up investments. Among the report's highlights:
-- Venture capitalists are schizophrenic when it comes to
nanotech. On one hand, most VC partners see nanotech as a more attractive field for investment than other domains like
biotech and enterprise software. On the other hand, many VC
partners that have made significant nanotech investments see
their deals as high-risk placements with little visibility to
an exit.
-- The success or failure of venture capital investments in
nanotech is too early to call. Of the 143 start-up companies
assessed, only 9% have been acquired or gone public; 83%
continue to operate; and 8% are dead or in danger.
-- Nanotech venture capital investment to date has been highly
concentrated: The top 10% venture-backed start-ups account for43% of total investment.
According to the report, nanotech deals differ significantly from investments in other domains, owing to diverse applications,multidisciplinary staffing requirements, pricing-power uncertainty,dependence on scientific innovation that can't be reliably timed, and the absence of valuation metrics that could make interim exits possible. The report prescribes actions for VC investors to mitigate these challenges and provides metrics and indicators for risk.
"With four nanotech IPOs since the beginning of 2004 and multiple start-ups primed for public offerings or acquisitions, venture capital investments in nanotech will continue to rise," said Nordan. "At the same time, investors in second-tier start-ups will be pushing their portfolio companies more aggressively towards exits. This will drive a round of consolidation between nanotech start-ups this year - and present opportunities for inexpensive acquisitions on the part of large corporations."
"Making Sense of Nanotech Venture Capital" contains analysis of
all nanotech institutional venture capital transactions to date by country, sector, funding round, deal size, and company status. It also presents data from interviews with 28 venture capital partners as well as five-year forecasts for nanotech VC funding in three scenarios. The report and its underlying data set are available immediately to clients of Lux Research's Nanotechnology Strategies advisory service.

Looks to be good news, should provide some support for the current pps, we hope.
Hey I just discovered this board looks informative towards the Nano side, Like it..
Besides Camaro owners tend to know what they like more than your average GM owner does which is why the Camaro is built better and has a more appreciative audience
GM needs to give me one considering they built their 2001 Buick Lesabre with a PLASTIC intake manifold the corporate greedy pigs!
The plastic gets a hole and over heats the engine cooking it. You have NO warning.
How u can use plastic for a part that gets that hot is all about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!
All american auto companies and practically all auto companies in the world need to look at their product offerings and determine if they are simple enough, fit desires and needs enough and are reliable enough for intended and unintended purposes, not to mention priced right. IMOP. They waste alot of $$$$ by not getting it right and try to make up for that by doing things like building Plastic manifolds LOL.... They have gotten better but my gut tells me they still have a ways to go to really get that bang for the buck that they are optimizing for. Its difficult with big firms and lots of employees, it needs to be handled like a thinktank study to make sure pointed and correct decisions are made.
So now it becomes more of a race as to which CEO, GM or Dodge will produce the new prototypes for the Camaro and the Charger. Whoever goes first the other will learn from in terms of potential buyers out there, so they may both be hesitating. Possibly GM needs positive news more quickly so I hope it is them who splurges first. The automags say 2009 for the new design but GM says 2006 so maybe they are already convinced to build it. Hope so. Dodge should wait to 2009 IMOP and let GM have a run at the market for the american and int'l sports car market. A low 20 grand Suggested retail price for the camaro is being offered for a scaled down engine a 6 Cyl, 250 to 300 hp I believe, so at least 2 versions will be offered.. the entry level and the pro. They should wait a few years for the entry level I believe unless they need the revenue NOW.
I am almost never right in picking final scores so I will shy away from that but it should be fun to watch the game anyways.

My heart says Seattle and My head says Pittsburgh.
I will have to follow my heart on this one and pick Seattle.
So basically it is a tossup. I would try to convince someone to give me 6 points and take Seattle if I were a betting man.
Anyone know the answer to this tax question:
If you have stock losses that you want tax breaks from you need to earn enough revenue to be taxable and than deduct the losses from that revenue using the forms and tables in the 1040 personal tax forms correct ?
Stock losses can only save you on paying taxes from larger sources or revenue than what the loss is incurred ?
Well what fun would there be if there was only ONE muscle car on the road, Dodge is formidable yes.
Yes true I like both buy Amy Lee is giving her a good run for her money.
There this is better thanks for the upgrade, Bow, curtsie, LOL
Should be a long term favorite
Interesting pics
Spring Cleaning Music CD (early... but)

So its like I was saying, Google shouldnt be a leading edge company or stock.
BLOOMBERG TV mentions MEDIA MOGULs,
My computer ate my post ( I had a huge post put together for the recent Icahn News), darned Kazaa must go !! LOL. I am going to buy Holes "Doll Parts" instead of stealing it by downloading anyways just to protest that.
Carl Icahns efforts to post a proxy battle with Time Warner to introduce new concepts and studies in media company structures, which would be interesting to Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks, Paramount, Universal Studios, and Viacom as well as others. Ownership & Control interests with how info is gathered and disseminated, Relations between infrastructure and Content people ( control, communication, and credit ).
In Time Warners case the 70's model of a conglomerate to gain power to fend off government and organized citizen "bashing" is not discrete enough as "hopefully" the new plan will cover possibly with tickers, investments, and creative interests being pointed and directed more specifically to the functions of the company & project efforts managed by the companies. Ideally anyways.
The Report due in February ( I believe ) hopefully will be well studied and informative, I hope it is available or summaries available to market watchers like myself.
Proof that cleverness takes free time and a clear head.
I wonder if someone thought of that when they invented these words, I wouldnt be surprised.
And there are still people discrediting him saying well its only on paper. Wake up the guy really is rich. good for him.
Well the painting came out really well anyways
CHID has got to settle in next week at least 3 out of 5 days of success.
Competition for The Hard Rock Cafe, good move. Thanks new camaro, your welcome whoever.
This is one of my top ten long term picks. Hooray.
Good move just hope they can afford it.
CHID's rally is fizzling somewhat, after 1 pm we'll see.
The RSI is off the charts for the positive, yes.
I am in at 0.54, GO CHID
