With Bitcoin being an alternative currency I am wondering who sets the value of it, by what authority they do set that value, and how that value is determined. Certainly those answers determine how wise it is to invest in that alternative currency. But it seems that I must be missing something rather important here.

Interest has returned to this realm and so prices are rising. This is quite reasonable.

Here we have an analyst utilizing past performance to predict the future. It will be interesting to see how the actual results compare. Stay tuned, everybody.

This article is rather disturbing. Not to argue with, but because it points out that the recovery is still distant. Of course that is the true state, give that we have only hints at any cures, and the rate of infections is increasing in many areas.

It may be that nothing will change until this plague has run it's course and all those susceptible have died. Certainly that is a terrible thought, but like a wildfire, the flames do not stop until all of the fuel is consumed. And so far the efforts have only helped in some areas, while poorly advised actions have resulted in new surges of infections.

So until more folks do what is needed to avoid infections a larger and faster recovery is not in sight.

Very interesting. I had not been aware of this company previously. So it may be a good buy and hold one. At least the author seems to be committed to that concept.

Quite a collection of information. Thanks for presenting it in an educational manner.

It seems that things are looking up again, at least for a while.

There is now a question as to "how safe" do the computer driven cars actually have to be? This will ultimately have a major effect if it ever becomes widely asked. Values of many stocks may suffer when the answer arrives.

This becomes a "Big Deal" issue because despite the alleged carnage cited by the touts, MOST drivers never are involved in accidents at all. So why pay 35% more for a vehicle that offers NO BENEFIT to most drivers?? At some point it will become obvious that the much better solution is to shift those poor performers over to public transportation and leave the driving to those who do it safely.

Of course, that produces far less income and profit, but the result is inevitable. But it may take a while to become obvious to the right people.

Of course things are rising, the graphs always do that. Is it because things are actually getting better or is it because of the federal bank stoking the fire of inflation by flinging cash all over??

And the one certified GOOD piece of information is that everyone should keep wearing their masks.

Certainly interesting, even though I have no investments in the area. Here we have an excellent example of the fact that the cannabis sector has both Highs and lows, but probably not the munchies. (a really bad pun hidden there.)

Quite an article indeed. And the bad part is that it is correct, although I am not certain about all of the numbers. I had not considered all of the mining effects, but certainly they are not trivial, just out of sight.

What is not really emphasized is the need for recycling materials of both batteries and electronics,

And what the author seems to have missed is the logistics challenge of powering all of those recharging stations. There may possibly be enough generating capacity available, BUT how many folks will want to drive there to recharge? Electricity does not "keep", unused generation capacity is gone, although there are a few storage schemes that are rather expensive, and not as efficient as we would wish.

So the reality is quite well hidden by the slick talkers and never noticed by those with the seven second attention span. So it seems that EVs are not quite the way towards salvation.

More disturbing by far will be the outrage and anger when it is finally admitted that the climate change was actually caused by an increased solar energy output. And global warming does result in more carbon dioxide.

Certainly reducing pollution and increasing recycling will be beneficial, but what must always be considered is the secondary, and tertiary, results of any action. The problem now is that the folks with the short attention span are not even able to read the first line of the news.

Interesting, very much to the point, but not all inclusive.

Thanks for a easily readable update.
