Just a little self "Reality Check". I am into pennies FOR LIFE! The potential upside to these babies is NOT to be found in the other markets IMO. Havin' more fun than a plastic surgeon in a leper colony! Shhhhh, quiet. We don't want everyone to know how much better the pennies are. Just let CNBC keep telling everyone how all pennies are like Comparator. OK? Let the GE owned Dow suckup keep preaching that paradigm. BTW, plastic surgeons would go broke in a leper colony. For one, it's treatable with anti-biotics and two, ain't too many "colonies" anymore.Leprosy is about the LEAST contagious disease on the planet!! another paradigm proven wrong. TG

MIDL...Oh!, another thing... Just talked with a friend (and fellow AVBC'er) about ethanol. She used to be an operator at a facility making ethanol, and said that they don't usually make alot of money per gallon of the stuff due to the cost of production. So any change in the price per bushel of corn will affect the cost of a gallon of ethanol. Factors like, bad weather, El Nino, the current position of our Commander-in Chief's zipper, etc. can shoot the cost from $2 to $5 + per bushel of corn. This directly could affect the cost of gas containing ethanol. There are also Federal subsidies given for the production of the additive, whether to the producers or the farmers, I don't know. If they are cut, and the petroleum companies lobby hard for this, this would increase the cost's transferred to the end-user. If service stations give their customers the option between gas with or without the additive...they may drift to the cheaper pumps. There is a minimum price per gallon of the stuff that the producers have to charge, just to cover production costs. Would this be a factor in DF-144 production? <Dunno>.... that's why I am asking...<well, why are you talking to yourself?>....'cus no one else is up at this ungodly hour! .....oh, sorry....lost it for a minute there! -LIPS-
