Reason platinum fell?

For Fuel Cells

(Nikkei)--Nisshinbo Industries Inc. (3105) has worked with the Tokyo Institute of Technology to develop the technology to use carbon instead of expensive platinum as the electrode catalyst for fuel cells.

The company hopes to have a practical version of the new catalyst ready in fiscal 2009, and will start by commercializing a product for the electrodes of residential fuel cells. Later, it will develop and commercialize a version for automotive fuel cells.

You're right... he's not spewing all that productivity stuff... probably because he doesn't NEED an excuse to print money... in fact soon he'll be forced (politicians) to do all sorts of stuff Greenspan never did. Still, Greenspan made up all that crap to print money when politically he could have easily taken away the punch bowl. I think he was into being "Maestro", wined, dined, and now we hear he was even banging news ladies!! Toast of the town!! Too funny.

His next book will no doubt be another re-write of history showing how he saw all this coming and restating (& reinterpreting) all those "warnings" he put out....
