May I respectively offer for your future consideration, without a nasty sounding like Obama crack ( I offer my apologies for stating that ), that increased governmental intervention like subsidies are one of the causes of diminishing individual control.
Thanks for those words.
I do appreciate it and agree with you in my heart about: “... increased governmental intervention like subsidies are one of the causes of diminishing individual control.”
Bear with me here. I’ve been digging into the bowels of the CLNE press release. I do this because I’m interested in this company and am very much in agreement with their business plan and want them to succeed (as I recall, you were the inspiration for me to look into CLNE five or six years ago). Over the years I’ve been long and short the stock and made money both ways. Here’s a little tidbit from the press release I posted earlier:
“The American Taxpayer Relief Act, signed into law on January 2, 2013, reinstated VETC through December 31, 2013 and made it retroactive to January 1, 2012. We expect to recognize ~$20.8 million of VETC revenue in the first quarter of 2013 attributable to 2012 sales of CNG and LNG.”
As near as I can tell, ‘VETC revenue’ has something to do with the Honda hybrid car (maybe you know something about it)??? This is just one little example of the world we live in and the way it has been in the American system of capitalism ever since there was a stock market and lobbying. Until we can elect enough politicians who agree with our position on the evils of governmental intervention and subsidies to do something about it, we have to get by as best we can.
Now, in spite of missing the bottom line by $0.05, the stock will pop tomorrow, buy on the open. Call me crazy but that’s my free stock advice - and it’s worth every penny of it.
