      Netflix Gets Serious About Streaming Media to Replace DVDs
      If I read the plans correctly, I can pay $8.99 a month and stream content 24 hours a day, all month long. Sounds like a steal. If NFLX can insert ads -- basically acting like a 100% on-demand cable channel -- they could do very, very well indeed with streaming content. Combine what the customer is watching with demographics about the customer, and it becomes a Google-type targeted advertising environment. (Rumor has it that Google makes a bit of money doing exactly this.)

      Strong Growth in Lithium Demand to Power FMC Corp., Rockwood Holdings
      The number you really want is amp-hours (or Coulombs). Every electron coming out of a battery comes from a lithium atom, so the closest correlation with lithium content will be in the amp-hours. You need to divide watt-hours by the voltage of the batteries to make the comparison.

      If the voltage in the auto batteries is 350v, that cuts down quite a bit on the ratio. Nonetheless, since you can run a laptop from the cigarette lighter plug in your car, there's obviously a vast difference in capacity. My gut feeling is that we're talking about a 50-fold difference.

      Putting PETS Down
      At some point, the company WILL be taken seriously by investors. Quarter-over-quarter growth may not do the trick, but year-over year growth certainly grabs the attention of analysts and portfolio and fund managers. If they hit on all cylinders for one more quarter, PETS will graduate from "speculative"... and start appearing on lists of "growth" stocks.
