Yet, due to pressure from allied oil interests, from the UK and France, and from the three Valkyries, Powers, Clinton, and Rice, he ignored the advice of guys like Donilon and Gates and invaded Libya under the bullshit pretense of 'humanitarian reasons'. The mission creep began almost immediately and the goal morphed into regime change. The 'coalition' then engaged in a war that saw more people killed than the arbitrary number we dreamed up that we were going to save. Then we left, leaving behind a non-functioning government and weapons up the kazoo that eventually found their way into the hands into every militant group in the ME with the effects we are still seeing there today. The country is now split much in the same manner that it was in before we intervened. I have seen recent articles that call the place a 'failed state'. <br /><br />Goog job, Brownee. <br /><br />You consider that Fubar a 'success' because we only spent $1-$2 billion over six months and we didn't lose any servicemen.<br /><br />I don't.<br /><br />I can get back to you later with more examples but right no I have to walk the dogs before it gets dark.<br /><br />.<br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-79041559458750524962014-10-28T17:49:18.652-04:002014-10-28T17:49:18.652-04:00Stock price since "O"rdure claime it to ...Stock price since "O"rdure claime it to be 'under valued' and made the 'buy' recommendation on 19July 2014 at <b>$29.11</b>, down to $21.92 today.<br /><br />Stock price over one year - $63.75 to $21.92<br /><b>That is a loss of $41.83 per share.</b><br /><br />Sales of Sodastream is not based on flavors (25%), but on sales of new machines (75%) and those nw machine sales have fallen through the floor.<br /><br />Buy some more stock, "O"rdure, buy some more. <br />Double down on Sodastream.<br /><br /><br /><br />Jack Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342056653466462640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-14819636982745860812014-10-28T17:38:59.816-04:002014-10-28T17:38:59.816-04:00Here we have it ...

Given the stock's recent poor performance, I continue to stand by my remarks. With their quarterly earnings slated to come at the opening of Wednesday's market, the question becomes whether or not the report will sound the beginning of the end of the company domestically. Despite the recent limited jump in stock value, the financials continue to look somewhat poor for the company.<br />By the numbers<br /><br />SODA's immediate future looks rather bleak. Releasing disappointing preliminary results on October 7, the company has set benchmark revenues at $125 mn, down roughly 13.5% from last year's numbers. Though analysts are setting expectations slightly higher at around $140 mn for the quarter, even this level of revenues would constitute, at-best, minimal growth. EPS are similarly expected to do poorly. With estimates ranging from $.31 to $.74, the consensus seems to be that EPS this year will not hit the same levels as last year quarter's $.90.<br /><br />The company's ticker does not inspire much confidence either. Falling from October 2013 highs of $64 a share (and more before that), the stock has seemed in freefall since June of last year. Even the bump gained Friday (in relation to SODA's announcement that Pepsi would be explored a limited 10 week partnership with the company) has already returned to its now-normal low levels.<br />The Bottom Line<br /><br />Despite some minimal successes, SodaStream is not in a good financial position. Though PepsiCo has agreed to explore the benefits of a limited partnership, this will not be enough to save the exceedingly soft sales now being experienced by SODA. With the company's attempts at marketing and advertisement failing to bring in the additional needed sales, it begs the question: what can SODA do to revive its hopes of a US market?<br /><br />Unfortunately for them, PepsiCo (NYSE:PEP) is either unwilling or unable to pursue a more integrated partnership, which leaves the company with few options. With competitor Keurig already partnered with Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO), SODA needs to find another partner and quick. For now, investors may consider looking elsewhere than a company that does not seem to have a viable approach to US markets.Jack Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342056653466462640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-68533194531004854642014-10-28T16:52:46.790-04:002014-10-28T16:52:46.790-04:00 it is, after all, a major emotional step for a yo... it is, after all, a major emotional step for a young man like myself to take.........Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877200182060537865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-84042116513735541102014-10-28T16:51:15.998-04:002014-10-28T16:51:15.998-04:00I have thought of doing so in the past but have he...I have thought of doing so in the past but have held off...........Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877200182060537865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-42312459750490187392014-10-28T16:48:59.278-04:002014-10-28T16:48:59.278-04:00QuirkTue Oct 28, 04:41:00 PM EDT
