The DJIA saw a 96-point rally on Friday. However, the overall improvement for the week was only slight. Since our last posting of 2/19, our viable acquisitions index has risen from a reading of 91 to a reading of 106 for Monday's open. We may be approaching a near-term bottom in the current downturn. Oddly, despite all of the talk of alternative energy development, solar and wind energy stocks have taken a beating since early January, and coal stocks like PCX and CCC have risen steadily along with crude oil prices. I continue to hold LBAS.OB and EMDH.OB for encouraging news on the earnings front. Equity futures for Monday's open are strongly positive at the time of this posting.

Best wishes, GH

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I am really astound what people would do to spam newsvine, this religious slant takes the biscuit, one can easily see that your are not an active citizen journalist. I and many others consider that you are contravening the vines code of conduct that you are not actively joining in as a good community member. If your spreading the good word please do just that but please do not span the vine with advertising links. As a true citizen journalist part of a community that is dedicated to this I take great offence that some one is using the christian faith for very deceitful reasons. Please clean up your act and be a very good christian with integrity
