Ben,
I read your post, but before I could reply, it appears that somebody had it removed? I'm not surprised, as this is surely a touchy topic.
Regardless though, it's a real life issue, and "when the Blue Star moves on Persia" (not if, but when), it will launch the price of oil much faster than a simple smooth swing of the pendelum.
Many American families are just now getting adjusted to the drop in fuel prices after the 2007 - 2008 run up, so they literally won't be able to deal with it. However, the lull in gas prices should not be taken for granted, as Persia would react accordingly with their own production cuts. To them, the biggest consumer road leads straight to the USA. I wouldn't put it past them to even abandon OPEC on that note, of which the Arabian House has prominent influence.
For SOLM, this whole sequence of events could literally be collossal. I don't care what the float or outstanding share numbers are currently at. Strong demand for product like that, could easily bring the investing herd right to SOLM's doorstep. The consumer's price will definately be the key, as SOLM has got to keep it at a level where it's affordable for a middle class family to install the product in their vehicle vs buying a hybrid or EV from a dealership.
During hard times like these.... Many people are easily just a paycheck away from debt. SOLM must provide an opportunity for a significant savings with the purchase of their product, and they must make it readily available to the public.
I'm thinking: Pep Boys, Jiffy Lube, Meineke, AutoZone, etc... Heck, anybody but the dealerships!
Alot of penney traders are trying to get a better entry price right now, than the day before. But I really don't think that SOLM is a stock to penney pinch with. I'd hate to pay 25 cents, 50 cents, or a dollar while waiting for a .008 or .005 opportunity to return. My point being: SOLM is far too cheap right now to be getting greedy with. It could easily reverse it's tiny pull-back at the drop of a hat.
Gather ye rosebuds whilst ye may.
