Electric Car Dreamride To Nowhere - French Style / Companies / Sector Analysis
By: Andrew_McKillop
KEEP ON TRUCKIN'
More precisely, keep on charging. Among the biggest no-no items on potential buyers, drivers and owners minds, when it concerns electric cars and vehicles, or "EVs", is the time needed to charge the things. Just slightly behind that no-no is the already well known horror of potential or possible EV owners: running out of 'juice', that is a flat battery and no way to charge it, on a Sunday night, in winter, far from anywhere. All they needed to do was buy a hybrid!

By: Money_Morning
Michael A. Robinson writes:
As new high-tech advances go, you'd be hard-pressed to find one that will have as much impact as this.
3D printing has now reached critical mass, on its way to what I believe will become a $1 trillion industry in a few short years.
Along the way, it will change everything, from how airplanes and medical implants are made to how we build our homes...

Wall Street Fishing in an Empty Lake for Profitable Investments / Companies / Agricultural Commodities
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
One of the secrets to successful fishing is to fish in a lake with fish in it. Fishing in a lake void of fish is not likely to be a worthwhile venture, though it still beats a day of work. That simple reality is something much of the investment community has never really understood. Even today, twelve years after the internet/technology bubble burst, the Street is still attempting to resurrect that tired old theme. For twelve years, the Street has been fishing in a lake without fish.

International Dividend Stock Plays to Hedge Against a Weak U.S. Dollar / Companies / Dividends
By: Roger_Conrad
Politics and investing rarely mix well. That’s worth keeping in mind as election-year rhetoric heats up this month. But no matter who wins the White House and Congress in November, investors should have money beyond the dollar.
Foreign-based power, pipeline, communications and water companies are the ideal vehicles. Not only do you benefit from countries growing faster than the US. They also pay dividends and are priced in currencies other than the US dollar, so the buck’s loss is US investors’ gain.

The Reason Fast-food Stocks Should Be Amongst Your Top Picks / Companies / Sector Analysis
By: InvestmentContrarian
The Reason Fast-food Stocks Should Be Amongst Your Top PicksChipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE/CMG) is one of my favorite places to grab a quick bite to eat. Yet, despite some stellar growth, the stock broke below $300.00 on Wednesday and has been steadily losing ground since trading at a 52-week high of $442.40 in April. Mounting concerns regarding future growth and multiple downgrades from analysts have hurt the stock. Hedge fund manager David Einhorn hammered another nail into the coffin when he said that Chipotle’s valuation “doesn’t make sense.”

Why You Should Be Mad at the Latest JPMorgan Lawsuit / Companies / Banking Stocks
By: InvestmentContrarian
Why You Should Be Mad at the Latest JPMorgan LawsuitWe all know that politicians are willing to do anything to get into the limelight, gain favor among the citizens, and then use this leverage for their own gain. The latest lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE/JPM) is so stupid and ridiculous that it would be funny if it weren’t going to cost taxpayers millions of dollars to pay for all of the lawyers involved.

How Many European Carmakers: Will Survive? / Companies / Sector Analysis
By: Andrew_McKillop
“It is unclear if all carmakers will survive without governmental help,” was the terse one-liner from the CEO, Hans Dieter Poetsch, of the VW-Porsche automaker group at the start of the Paris Motor Show.
For some European carmakers in an industry credited by carwatcher ACEA, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association with an annual turnover and revenues close to 500 billion euros in 2010, employing a total of around 12.5 million Europeans (direct and indirect), the end could come rather soon. For Dieter Poetsch and many analysts, carmakers in southern Europe producing small cars with low profit margins per car - and declining sales - will be the first to go. The bad news is that declining sales and an unremitting price war is causing industry wide and continent wide damage.

Global Currency Wars in Full Escalation / Companies / Fiat Currency
By: Michael_Pento
The worldwide currency debasement war has now entered a new and more deadly phase. Central banks have escalated the combat plan to bring about the world’s weakest currency for their individual countries. On the heels of the Federal Reserve and European Central Bank’s promises of unlimited counterfeiting forever, the Bank of Japan announced last week that it would expand its purchase of Japanese Government Bonds (and other assets including equities) by 10 trillion Yen. This brings the latest round of BOJ intervention to a total of 80 trillion Yen!

Riots Over Rotten Apple Mania / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: BATR
You may know someone who is part of the rampage. It could be a neighbor or even a family member. Even in some circumstance, you yourself might be part of the wow rage. No, we are not talking about dunking for apples or eating from the forbidden fruit. This riot is all about living a virtual life in the ether zone of personal numbness, disguised in the appearance of being cool. Life without an iPhone to these cutting end "Efficiency Experts" is not worth living. This is the new economy and progress dictates that connecting to the world of texting is the most important function of daily existence.
