Intrigued, I went to my trash folder to see what this was. The stock symbol is WHSL, and I looked it up at Yahoo at:finance.yahoo.com There some pretty interesting headlines there; a $1 million investment, then a $10 million loan, but most notably (in my opinion) the acquisition of the rights to the engine that powered the electric Lexuses (Lexi?) in the movie "Minority Report". (See futureenergies.com ) There are a couple of red flags: 1) The car has 500kW, but a zero-to-sixty time of 4.5 seconds. I guess this just means the car is really heavy? By comparison the tZero has only 150kW but a 0-60 time of 4.0 seconds. (At only 2,000 pounds) Plus, the tZero was using lead-acid batteries! 2) Their ticker symbol is sometimes referred to as WISV instead of WHSL. Why the change? Why are they sometimes Whistler Investments, sometimes NuPow'r LLC, and sometimes NuAge Electric (NAE)? 3) One of their PR statements says: > NuPow'r LLC., (NPL), is a 'new age' electric vehicle and electric > products development company founded by Chaz Haba - co founder of > Intel, the inventor of the 'computer chip' in the late 50's with > Fairchild, and the largest single investor in Apple Computer in > the 60's. Known as the Thomas Edison of the new millennium, together > with his associate engineers and physicists, he's changing the world > as we know it. Apple Computer wasn't founded until 1976. Is any of this real, or is this just another Tilley Foundation? jorg --- End Message --- mail-archive.com @listproc.sjsu.edu/msg04206.html
