That is funny [or criminal]: < 3/4 of a billion dollars. And who's the #2 at one of the "investment partners"? None other than the brother in-law of Nancy Pelosi.> Perhaps they would argue like Al Gore with his gigantic CO2 scams "Of course I invest in something I believe in which is also making the world a better place. Of course I need to change the laws to force people to use my business. It's to save them from themselves. I might as well be paid to do such an amazing public service out of the goodness of my heart. The public via the government taking opm should invest in my business to profit, as well as saving the world." In fairness to Nancy and Solyndra and all the other spivs getting big heaps of opm, there are hordes of people who genuinely believe that photovoltaics are the future of energy to save the world from the horrific Venus-effect of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. If believed we were heading for a Venus-effect, I would be doing not just the same but seriously meaning business and producing NO CO2. Having "carbon offsets" is absurd if they really believe what they say. In fact, TJ has invested in photovoltaics so lots of people believe. While I too have been a paid up member of the photovoltaic fan club since the mid 1980s, and BP Solar was big in the business with me a promoter of it, I'm mindful that photovoltaics remain a niche energy source where oil and coal can't be economically brought to bear. My wonderful intercontinental superconductor/liquid nitrogen/photovoltaic/electronic/photonic tubular transport [1000 km per hour] is still just a mad gleam in my eye. But you didn't answer my question. Have you finished with your GLD put selling? I'm itching to buy GLD to get into the excitement [or escape from it, depending on your point of view]. Mqurice
