Uranium: Red Hot Yellow Cake

Of course, the other incentive for replacing the fossil fuels powered vehicle fleet"\ is to stop sending so many Western dollars to countries who's populace wants to do harm to Western countries. Cutting our appetite for oil is important for so many reasons, it's amazing to me that very little has been done to make it happen. I won't say it has anything to do with the leaders of the united states being so involved in oil.

Netflix's Roku is Doomed to Fail

I guess I'll pile on and say that I agree with the commenter's sentiments, which is also the majority sentiment on my favorite gadget blog -- that this is a very interesting product by Netflix. I currently have a Netflix DVD subscription, and with a paltry $100 investment I can add unlimited, instant downloads of 1000's of movies and TV show to watch on my living room TV. One big overlooked rental segment is esteemed series (HBO, Showtime, etc.) which would normally constitute many DVD rentals, but now an entire series can be watched for no additional outlay other than this inexpensive hardware. And not that this is huge, but Mac users are not able to stream Netflix movies to their computers, so this let's them in on the instant game. And, of course, once someone buys a box, they will have more reason not to cancel their monthly Netflix subscriptions.

Foreclosures Prove Loan Modification Isn't Working

REASON: Can't we agree there is a housing recession? Maybe that's what the author meant?

Uranium: Safely and Efficiently Powering the Future

I cringe when I hear the words "safe" and "clean" always put before the words "nuclear energy" (as is often the case lately). I cringe that people are mixing marketing-speak with their intellectual arguments, which immediately minimizes my trust of a pro-nuke argument. I have a unique perspective as I used to be friends with someone who worked as a safety inspector at a nuclear power plant in California. He scared the crap out of me, telling me how many near-disasters at this plant that were never were publicized (perhaps there are a lot more minor accidents than we hear of). One of the biggest problems, according to my inspector friend, was that the maintenance and replacement of old parts were not always done to spec, often because different suppliers offered kickbacks to the plant buyers use their sub-standard replacement parts. Yes, as long as humans are involved, there are ways that perfectly designed plants can become dangerous -- you never know who might take a short cut to line their own pockets. The other scary thing for my inspector friend was seeing spent rods pile up in the cooling pool that was never designed to store so much radioactive material. These rods need to be actively cooled in the pool, or there will be a meltdown -- so you can't just stop the reactor and walk away. I'm not sure what the answer is to our energy needs, but I want to punch everyone who always adds the marketing buzzwords "safe" and "clean" as a prefix to the words "nuclear energy" as if it were a fact. BTW, on my fairly small roof I have 24 solar panels that produce more energy than my family and home-based business consume (on a year-over-year basis). I'm not saying solar is going to solve the world's energy problems tomorrow, but it most certainly can be a bigger part of our energy plan.

CAR Forecasts 24% Price Drop for California Houses

I wonder how many Realtors share this sentiment with their client's who are looking to buy? As pessimistic as 24% sounds, the low coming as soon as 2008 could be said to be optimistic.

CBS Digital Radio Network: They Have Nailed It

I hope it somehow equates to more income for them -- most of my work has come from CBS Radio for the past 13 years, and things certainly have gotten tighter in the industry since the 90s.

Apple's $199 iPhone Is a Game-Changer

Finally an iPhone with a fast data connection. Add to that a very reasonable price, and I agree, Apple is going to sell a lot (MORE) iPhones!

Wall Street Breakfast - Sample Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News by SA Editor Rachael Granby Bank trio becomes duo. Wells Fargo (WFC) will become the largest U.S. bank by branches with its bid for Wachovia (WB), after Citigroup (C) withdrew from compromise negotiations late yesterday on concerns about the quality of some of Wachovia's assets. Wells Fargo, with a bid valued at $11.4B, expects the purchase to be completed by the end of the year, and denies it will have to absorb assets shakier than originally thought. Government considers next steps. As the financial crisis continues to worsen, the U.S. government is considering two dramatic steps to turn around, or at least slow, the damage: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits. The moves, which would mark the government's most extensive intervention to date, are in discussion stages only. Credit stays frozen. As frozen credit markets refuse to thaw, the cost of default protection on corporate bonds reaches new global records amid investor concerns the credit crisis will trigger corporate failures as companies struggle to finance their businesses. Interbank lending remains limited, and borrowing from the Fed's expanded discount window continued its trend of setting new highs every week, as the total daily average rose to $420.2B vs. $367.8B last week.

Better Choices - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/15/08)

by SA Editor Rachael Granby

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramers Mad Money TV program,
Wednesday, October 15.

Bullish Calls:

Continental Resources (CLR) -- "This is a remarkable decline. All of the high quality ones are down so much, I can't go against it. This is where you pull the trigger.
3M (MMM) -- The moment this stock starts yielding 5%, I'm a buyer. Until then, keep your powder dry.

Bearish Calls:

Computer Sciences (CSC) -- This is a company that was going to be bought, but they passed up the chance. Now I don't want to buy it."
Annaly Mortgage (NLY) -- I think this is a business model that needs to borrow money. Definitively do not buy."
Northrop Grumman (NOC) -- You can't own the defense stocks right now. If I had to own one, I'd look at Lockheed Martin (LMT) with its good dividend.
