I think its the overall market . The NYSE and Nasdaq are all taking hits for weeks now and when you look at all the pinks (even the real companies) are at best holding a mild loss or correction . MMTE has held well compared to the rest of the market . Right now most investors are buying multi-national corp.'s and some are even fleeing to protectionary's like P&G or MLP's as if we were in a downturn . But corp. profits are still up , GDP is an Issue but some macro data shows a possibility of growth and an increase in GDP soon . IMO. Plus we all know when Oil goes up (and it will again) is when all the alternative energy plays go up . I know lithium is the future of auto's but till then it is pinned to oil still like solar . I am posting a link above from the FORD board and it talks about how they cut subsities for ethanol . That tells me ethanol is almost dead and they are moving on to try the next fule or form of energy (maybe lithium battery makers or MINERS !!! ) who knows .
