Location Of Jamestown Plastics Plant To Be Delayed -- March 2, 2015; Eight (8) New Oil & Gas Permits In North Dakota

Update on the plastics plant to be built in Jamestown, from The Jamestown Sun:
Decisions on the potential location of a $4 billion plastics plant are likely to be delayed until later this year, according to Shane Goettle, project consultant for Badlands NGL.
Badlands NGL announced its intention to build the factory in October. The company indicated it wanted to build the plant outside the Oil Patch and that it intended to reach a decision on a location by the first quarter of 2015.

A Squeaker 

Quite a squeaker -- barely closed above 5,000. But the real story is how much the NASDAQ gained in one day to put it solidly above 5,000 -- almost 1%.

Yahoo!Finance is reporting that the NASDAQ bull has room to run:
Part of Najarian’s bullish stance ties into the smartphone explosion. “That connectivity is really key to a lot of what’s driving the Nasdaq,” observes Najarian. Apple’s iPhone is an obvious driver, along with the companies that manufacture memory.  “The SanDisks of the world with the solid state memory and flash memory, that’s huge.  Every cell phone is packed with it, every iPad or [Amazon’s] Fire HD tablet is packed with that stuff.”
The wireless revolution is just part of the story.  The functionality of the internet is another driver. “In 2000, we were doing $4 billion worth of business online.  Now the number is in the hundreds of billions of dollars,” says Najarian, who predicts continued growth as the world moves towards being 100% mobile. “Instead of you being tethered to your desk, walking around with the same kind of computing power now that you had on a desktop in 2000, that’s huge.  It's great for those retailers.  It's great for Uber, Facebook and Tinder.”
Also, there's something called momentum and euphoria and greed. The analogy is when the lottery hits $500 million -- "everyone" starts buying lottery tickets. Same with the market: on a bull run like this a lot of retail investors are jumping in. Worse, a lot of fund managers are jumping in -- they don't want to be seen as missing a bull market.

  1. Is the "Relationship" new to the disclaimer, or have I not been paying attention? Either way good advice!

    1. Not paying attention, smile. I added the relationship thing some time ago -- I forget when -- but it's been awhile. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the Hamm divorce, but maybe subconsciously. I get tired of the disclaimer and I'm sure some readers do so, also, but it is what it is. I hope you are doing well. Thank you for taking time to write.
