Ready to Short Amazon
Dow futures are up 0.5% at 10110. This is looking good. We prefer an up move preopen when we think its going down, and vice versa. We also checked on Amazon after a colleague bought a Kindle. Looks pretty cool - but at $300 AUD, I think I would rather buy an iPad. Apparently Amazon’s share price went back up after iPad’s launch as investors were disappointed with the iPad - which is just like a big iPhone (hence not a true reader/competitor to the Kindle). After playing around with the Kindle (which we are actually quite impressed with), we went on to research Amazon. Our findings give us compelling reasons to take action - we will short Amazon.

The U.S. government bailed out the banks, shifting debt to the public balance sheet. And over the last few weeks the "hot potato" has once again begun to move. From ... continue -
DOE stimulus grant throws spotlight on growing need for energy storage
no responses - Posted 03.11.10
A new stimulus grant of $100 million from the U.S. Department of Energy that includes support for grid-scale energy storage projects is the latest sign of the growing need to find ways of storing energy from electricity production. While traditionally storage has focused on balancing peak and off-peak usage, the need has become greater with renewable energy forms like wind and ... continue -
Will Greece Fall
no responses - Posted 03.11.10
Headlines yesterday has the ex EU chief saying Greece crisis is over. Other EU leaders are also putting the blame on banks with credit default swaps. They are setting the crime scene - pointing fingers at hedge funds. If and when Greece fails, the blame would be on hedgefunds/banks even though they had nothing to do with it. The fact ... continue -
