With the minds that exist HERE on Rande's thread why look any further... My op/ed...The reason I am here is individualaity and minds that compliment their strengths. The only reason I would leave is when this group starts making calls as a hoard. I simply don't need the herd mentality to gain returns in the stock market. When the few lead and the herd follows, there is a fundamental breakdown in the decision making process. My study of history suggests the least desirable attributes of human nature are expressed within the herd dynamic. Simply look at the amount of time SOME of the leaders on SI spend defending their ego's. The danger of the ego is, it can never allow itself to be wrong...IMHO...In a dynamic system such as financial markets, that can only spell disaster in the long term. Long live "Rande Is Home" Kaliico

Why waste your cyber breath?...they either get it or they don't... If I'm not mistaken, a while back you were interested in fuel cell companies...well, have you looked into UTX? From what I recall they are running a few municipalities with electricity from their fuel cells... hamilton-standard.com The company is extremely diversified...escalators to space suits...and is making $$$... Another thing I find very compelling is that the matched contributions in the 401K plan is in the form of UTX stock...so, there is a big built in buyer of UTX... Technically, the share price appears to have successfully passed the low $60's test...and is making higher lows...a break above $70 would be bullish... SR
