- Boeing May Get Second Shot To Win Large Tanker Contract
I wrote on March 27 that although Boeing (BA) had lost its bid to provide the Air Force with a fleet of in-flight refueling tankers, the company still has a lot of upside. Well, Boeing protested the $35 billion contract that was awarded to Northrop Grumman Corp. (NOC) and EADS, so both sides sent lobbyists to Washington to have their say. The Government Accountability Office came down on the side of Boeing; its decision reflected … [visit site to read more]

Переслать - Presidential Campaign Could Help Internet ETFs
There is already one winner in the presidential elections: the internet, and this could help download returns for some of the internet and technology related exchange traded funds (ETFs).

You may have never heard of a man named Richard L. Findley, but without him the Bakken oil formation might be nothing but a big dry hole.
At least that’s what the majors such as Royal Dutch Shell, Gulf Oil, and Texaco Co. believed in the mid- 90’s.when they packed up their gear and headed home.

Regardless of the details, though, I suspect that Italy is only the first of what will be … [visit site to read more]

I wrote on this subject last month, when the Sacramento real estate market had its first year-over-year (YoY) increase in houses sold in several years. I read and write about the Sacramento market for a couple of reasons. First, I lived there for about 5 years (until last fall) and I am very familiar with the market and area.
