To All, Here's a link to a story by MSNBC about S.I. and the Dryer brothers that founded it. msnbc.com There is also a link to the story on our home page. I, for one, would like to commend Brad and Jeff Dreyer and their assistant Jill for doing a superb job of putting this site together. I was amazed to see that there are only 3 people involved. I think that we have the best financial site, and the easiest one to use. I only wish that they would let some of us in on an IPO, but I'm glad that they won't sell out to the big guns. Del

Thanks for the link to the Japanese environmental page, Del. It's nice that they seem to be taking a leadership position. The Asian feelings on environmentalism are a little confusing to me. I understand it seems unfair that we ALREADY exploited the earth's resources, and want them to cool it, but on the other hand in their major cities, they have to wear face masks to try to prevent harm from the air, which you can actually see. Didn't I say Orbital Engines? Don't even tell me what I did wrong--I'm glad you can read my mind. It's definitely on my short list for longterm investments, and it's good to hear the price is down. Ballard might be overpriced, but if I owned it, that would be good news!!! I think the deal with Mercedes is very hopeful, and the cause of all the rapid appreciation in price. I will buy some when it comes back down. I wonder just when the diehards who think (or have been told, he he) that there is no huge problem with the planet, environmentally speaking, will realize they were wrong? Will it be too late to fix things? A huge consortium of scientists came out last week pleading for attention to the oceans, saying we have taken too much out, and put too much in, until they are almost destroyed. What is so hard to understand about that, anyway? Anyone trying to buy fish would see immediately that it is almost PRECIOUS, it costs so much!!! Supply and demand!!! There used to be plenty of fish in the sea.
