With the clock ticking the Administration has approved two more solar projects, and that should make Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid very happy.
Tonopah Solar is a subsidiary of Solar Reserve, whose investment partner is PCG where the number two man happens to be Nancy Pelosi's brother in law. The $737,000,000 loan guarantee will help the Nevada project, which developers say will create 600 construction jobs and 45 permanent jobs.
Mesquite Solar will build a solar farm that generates 150 megawatts of power that will supply energy to 31,000 homes all for only $337.0 million and monthly electric bills. The project will create 300 construction jobs but as few as seven permanent jobs.
"If we want to be a player in the global clean energy race, we must continue to invest in innovative technologies that enable commercial-scale deployment of clean, renewable power like solar." -Energy Secretary Steven Chu
Chu bragged about the phony "investment" and its 52 permanent jobs that will cost $20,653,846 each. This is mindboggling stuff, think of all the real jobs that could be created in the private sector if entrepreneurs had access to this kind of cash.

This may be old news to some, but I have just had the opportunity to see this documentary. The director could have taken his cue from what Bill and Kaimu have been saying for as long as I can remember. Startling yet not surprising for us Caristas. A must see.
From filmmaker Charles Ferguson comes this sobering, Oscar-winning documentary that presents in comprehensive yet cogent detail the pervasive and deep-rooted corruption that led to the global economic meltdown of 2008. Through unflinching interviews with key financial insiders, politicos, journalists and academics, Ferguson paints a galling portrait of an unfettered financial system run amok -- without accountability. Actor Matt Damon narrates.
Thoroughly insightful view of the country's financial downfall. This movie will definitely make you very wary of business as usual in the financial world and how it effects the way our government runs. You will be moved--from sadness, distrust, anger to possibly despair when you feel like everyday citizens not involved in the financial or political world may never be able to change this blatant greed, and how it effected so many people here and in many other countries. A must see film, if you would like to be educated on this corruption.
Might be of interest.
GARDEN ANALOGY… Some find analogies helpful, others find them annoying; but I think this one is pretty decent. I’m basically saying… to have a great garden, you need to continuously weed out your losers, and let your better plants flourish. The part that some people forget about is harvest time! You want to grab those fat tomatoes or prize orchids when they’re as good as they’re going to get. In other words, grab those huge profits before they shrink and disappear. After all, that’s the best way to impress your friends and family and bolster your own ego.
It has to be a continuous process, however, if you really want to be good at it. Times like this are good for intensifying your efforts on both weeding and harvesting; but you shouldn’t forget this responsibility, even in the best of times.
One of the challenges is deciding when your vegetables or flowers or marijuana (or whatever) are ripe enough to harvest. That’s what our trend & consistency numbers are there for. Buy when you find the good ones (including any other data you like) and sell (harvest) when those same numbers top out and decline… definitely by the time the trend turns negative.
I currently have some plump tomatoes with 100%+ gains over the past six months. In some cases the trend/consistency values still look pretty good, so they may get even juicier. For others, it really looks like harvest time… since the peak has passed. Meanwhile, I’m always weeding out the weeds. These are most often purchases that had great trend/consistency numbers, but the timing was wrong. They were approaching their (at buy-time, unknown) top already. In cases like that, the price may drop quite a bit before consistency, then trend numbers drop to “time to sell” levels. A strategy of “sell when there’s a drop of XX% from a recent top” is a good supplement to monitoring trend/consistency.
I think that the reason that this analogy doesn’t follow through neatly for investors, is that with a garden you can see what’s happening much easier than with stocks. You can observe the petals on the flowers, the size of those tomatoes or the height of your marijuana bushes. It’s less readily obvious when you’re looking at a spreadsheet full of numbers. Hopefully, one day we’ll have graphics where you can actually have your stock trend/consistency numbers represented as a visual of the ripeness of that tomato, and you’ll be able to see when it’s past its prime without looking at the numbers.

I also vote for more practical chart reading tips. Looking forward to the conference.
