FRIDAY CLOSE

(stock #'s in %)

S&P downgrade of USA. Hm. From the folks who could have been indicted along with the others for the financial fraud and crisis late last decade. I just write it off as more of the GOP fight to get back all the political power. And lets put the cards on the table. Some people just don't like Democrat presidents, let alone a half black one.

And I still cry hay, in '00 when the GOP was handed America we were paying down the $5T debt which may have been actually paid off by now. But who am I to know if this is just part of revelation eschatology or just stretching the boundaries of what we can do with the concept of money.

The jobs report helped Friday's recovery. The govt actually closely matched ADP's this time. Though the market finished mixed. Dow up 60, Naz down 23 because high tech is dragging us down, huh, and S&P was flat. But yay, thanks be to God and GOP for the Dow strength. Hell, Apple alone has more cash on hand than the United States of America.

In a way, this all tells me we're going further down next week. But I hope I'm wrong. None of us wants to fight the trend. If down we have to go then let's the heck get there now. So we can start back up again.

Volume was more than double normal. Either everybody's selling out or it's a turn back up.

September Oil settled in at under $88.

And then there are now our SEALS and pilots and crew from Afghanistan to bury. While Syria continues killing their own people. Let alone Libya. O yea, Libya. Where is all that? I understand Kadaffy's son was killed in one recent bomb attack. God what a world we have to do business in every business day. How about getting water and food into the famine of Somalia/Kenya. Let's all try to care a little more, A? That's amore. When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie.

O yea, the stocks. Clean energy money.

Nanotech too. NNLX was up 21. NANO up 4. NANX down 7, new low.

AGPH up 97. I have to check that out. They have $176M valuation now.

AFPW down 17. AMRC down 11. AMEL down 6, another new low. Lithium mining? AMLM up 8 after hitting big new low. Lithium mining?

AONE maybe turning back up.

ASPW up 13.

BFRE down 18.

BWEN down 29 on their Q report. Probably oversold. Wind towers. Wind is competitive with coal now, especially with molten salt and other energy storage. Though they are eyesores and humming bummers for local neighbors.

CREE under $30.

Chinese solars: CSIQ up 2, CSUN down 2, HSOL flat, JASO down 4, hit a new low (who didn't).

DSTI up 13. OK. Are they coming to market?

ECOS up 16. They do that.

ENER down 11. New low. May be in deep trouble. But so is ESLR, up 18. Hell, ENSL was even up 20.

EVCA was down 17. They may be a play.

FTEK ended up down 11 on their bottom.

GNPG up 10.

GSPI down 23.

HYPF up 40.

LEDS down 6. Hit a new low. Chinese LEDS. Go figure. $4 down out of $32. Owee Howie.

LEOM down 11.

MDTL up 88. What's their problem? Um, product?

NENE was up 20, delayed response to their news.

POWR down 13, hit a new low.

RNNM down 12.

RSOL down 7, on their bottom.

SNRY up 15. It is what it is.

SOPW up 10.

SZYM hit a new low and bounced back big.

UBRG up 12 after hitting 5 cents.

URRE down 10 more.

URXE up 50. I know. I have a lot of work to do to get you the skinny on everything. Keep in mind, these are 1-day percentage changes. Uno day changos.

WEST down 3. I am going to admit here that I bought them at $1.18.

WPNV up 50. On big volume.

And I think ZOLT is basing.

Italy. A reeve a dare chee? In pig Itilian? Oy.
