Jun 26 2009

Very narrow day with few opportunities. Thankfully we got our winning plays on PALM and TIBX early on.

Session Time: Fri Jun 26 00:00:01 2009

[08:01] {BillyD} good morning
[08:03] {nemo} mornink
[08:11] {Threei} Good morning
[08:11] {BillyD} vad
[08:13] {Threei} General Motors Corp Update: China's NDRC to likely reject Tengzhong's bid to buy Hummer brand - State radio
[08:13] {Threei} - The planner, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), is worried that Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery, which makes special-use vehicles and highway components, does not have the experience and resources to run the Hummer business, the report said.
[08:13] {Threei} - Besides, Hummer, as an expensive, gas-guzzling sports utility vehicle, would not fit in with the government's policy of encouraging energy-efficient vehicles, the radio said.
[08:13] {Threei} there... that's where we are headed
[08:14] {Threei} government telling busnesses what to produce and what not
[08:14] {BillyD} China's way of life
[08:15] {BillyD} Vad, have you bought a new PC in last couple of years
[08:18] {Threei} it was custom built... why?
[08:19] {BillyD} wanted to see if you notice performance difference, thinking about upgrading here
[08:19] {BillyD} mine is 6 yrs old
[08:19] {BillyD} I think I need a better processor
[08:19] {Threei} what's processor speed and RAM?
[08:20] {BillyD} 2.4 mhz w/ 1GB
[08:20] {nemo} graphics capabilities?
[08:20] {Threei} doesn't sound inadequate for trading purposes to me
[08:20] {BillyD} 1 agp w/dual 64MB each & a third PCI card 8MB
[08:21] {BillyD} quotes will freeze when heavy volume comes in at times
[08:21] {nemo} that pci I card stretched a bit?
[08:21] {Threei} mine is more powerful but I do a lot of photoediting
[08:21] {Threei} pci card sounds a bit low, yeah
[08:21] {nemo} BillyD, do you know what the Buss speed is
[08:22] {BillyD} yes on pci card, a PC guy told me that it was more of different drivers causing problems verses the *MB card
[08:22] {BillyD} no nemo, but my RAM is DDR 2700
[08:22] {nemo} Well, that would also be affected by the size of monitor you're running
[08:22] {nemo} That's a fairly slow buss speed
[08:23] {BillyD} have 3 19" monitors
[08:23] {BillyD} yes to slow on buss speed
[08:23] {nemo} Yeah, that might be tough on that 8 mg card
[08:23] {nemo} You windows based
[08:23] {BillyD} yes XP
[08:23] {BillyD} original installation
[08:23] {BillyD} 6 yrs agao
[08:23] {BillyD} lol
[08:23] {nemo} My only thought would be to try and hold out until the next operating system in September?
[08:24] {BillyD} what is it?
[08:24] {nemo} Windows 7
[08:25] {BillyD} typically, 1st version has so many bigs
[08:25] {Threei} yeah... early adoper = guinea pig

[08:41] {Threei} - The FDA has not ordered the recall of any of the Company''s products.
[08:41] {Threei} - Per the FDA''s letter, the Company has 10 working days to respond to the FDA''s administrative action and 30 days to submit a remediation plan. The Company will use the extensive remediation work already underway and already documented in detail to the FDA to facilitate its response.

[12:34] {Threei} (RU) Russia Pres Medvedev affirms Russia's involvement in OPEC is solely as an observer (related USO )
[12:34] {Threei} as in "we are watching you"?
[12:35] {BillyD} Vad,u been there in a while
[12:35] {Threei} not since 1996
[12:35] {BillyD} when did you leave
[12:36] {Threei} in 1996
[12:36] {Threei} lol
[12:36] {BillyD} lol
[12:36] {BillyD} could you return w/ no issues
[12:36] {BillyD} to visit
[12:36] {Threei} at this point, I think so
[12:37] {Threei} all problematic figures who were "in play" when I was there are dead or jailed or out of business in some other way
[12:37] {BillyD} hmmmm....and you are in CA
[12:38] {Threei} the tough time was first two-three years
[12:38] {Threei} and I had to go back in 6 months after leaving, to settle some issues
[12:38] {BillyD} is your family still there
[12:39] {Threei} the guy who ran mafia protection and served as my "roof" was shot dead two weeks before that
[12:39] {BillyD} sacry
[12:39] {Threei} which created huge problem
[12:39] {Threei} and the way I solved it is a whole story
[12:39] {Threei} no, don't have anyone there anymore

[12:46] {Threei} Russia was never really open country with a lot of foreign language used, not since revolution
[12:46] {Threei} and before revolution, French and German were more prevalent
[12:47] {Alw} Ok - when I went to Europe I found most people spoke better English than me

[13:16] {ese} see ya vad
[13:17] {Alw} Is cpd a possible jbe?
[13:18] {Threei} formally, yes... in practice, very questionable
[13:19] {Threei} Market impact of Climate Bill vote (American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009)
[13:19] {Threei} **it appears the 3 hour debate on the climate bill has begun in the House at 1pmET, implying that a final vote might come late this afternoon
[13:19] {dino} l rht .93
[13:19] {Threei} **Specifics of the legislation:
[13:19] {Threei} - Requires a 17% emissions reduction from 2005 levels by 2020.
[13:19] {Threei} - Requires renewable electricity mandate stating each electricity provider who supplies over 4M MWh must produce 20%of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020. (5% of this standard can be met through energy efficiency savings, as well as an additional 3% with certification of the Governor of the state in which the provider operates).
[13:19] {Threei} - Failure to meet said requirements results in fines of $0.02/KWh that will be adjusted upward with inflation.
[13:19] {Threei} - Allocates funding for modernization of grid system ("smart grid"), expansion of electric vehicle production, and sets guidelines for additional energy efficiency in new building projects.
[13:19] {Threei} - To develop Cap-and-trade like system, 85% of initial permits to be given for free with remaining 15% being put up for auction.
[13:19] {Threei} **Potential effects of the legislation:
[13:19] {Threei} - 1) if the bill passes
[13:19] {Threei} Negative impact on the coal burning utilities and coal companies, coal prices likely to decline as their use will be limited; use of natural gas may increase as it reduces the carbon footprint and may drive the sales of natural gas higher. Solar and wind power generating companies will benefit from increased subsidies for energy efficient and alternative energy technologies. Firms that specialize and provide 'smart grid' and infrastructure utilization software are also likely to benefit as utilities look to maximize existing generation sites and prolong the life-time of grand-fathered 'dirty' coal plants. Other sectors that are likely to benefit include specialty names that have experience in carbon capture and sequestration in terrestrial and sub-terrestrial storage. Financials with exposure to EU Cap and Trade and Carbon Emission Contracts are also posed to benefit from increased business volume due to exposure to facilities and understanding of market.
[13:20] {Threei} - 2) if the bill fails
[13:20] {Threei} Positive impact for the coal burning utilities and coal companies, coal prices to remain supported or even rebound on anticipated demand, Natural gas likely to remain steady or decline a little. Solar and wind power technology companies are likely to feel some impact as investors anticipate increased use of green technologies.
[13:20] {level777} clean energy is sweeping the country, esp in cal
[13:20] {Threei} -3) Mixed reactions:
[13:20] {Threei} As with every piece of legislation, the effects of an energy production balance and 'cap and trade' system on markets will not be as clear as one may initially expect. Initial programs and funding will certainly move towards alternative energy technologies and further development of smart grid technologies. The incremental implementation of energy production portfolio balancing at utilities will mean that heavily coal dependent regions (US South East and Mid West) will not see sudden, massive price increases. Due to subsidies and stimulus programs, consumer and commercial price increases are seen rising broadly in tandem throughout US power markets. As for a cap and trade system, initial winners will most notably include the US Federal Government that stands to gain a windfall payment. It is expected that a large percentage of these funds will be reinvested into additional technology and energy subsidy programs (to offset the consumer price increase that will be passed down from utilities).
