Pacific Ethanol, Inc. (NASDAQ:PEIX)

If Natural gas is the way to go, then going from deisel stations to NT Gas stations will also be necessary.

No subsidies? Forget about it! Save third world babies from famine and pestilence and "drill, baby, drill!!!" For oil, that is; Black Gold, Texas Tea.
Btw, ethanol production is worse at carbon emissions than oil refining. The time has come to pay the piper for those tedious attempts to vitiate the guilty consciences of some people for robbing others of precious resources -- like when I breathe, for example. Well, excuuuse ME!!

i think they will once again be a major contributor in this industry. They have been through a lot in the last 3 years but i wonder if they survived and will thrive. On the Daily Graphs volumes are way up since late Oct. and on nov 11 they had 1.85 high on strong volumes. This is not my area of expertise but i am looking for the underdog.

Gasoline might become $5.00/gallon soon.

Input of fuel is far greater than the output of ethanol.

clean energy is on the way

-Coming back from bankruptcy.

-Replacing debt with equity effectively increasing the risk capital and reducing debt service pressure on cash flow. Traditionally replacing debt with equity is taken as sign of lack of confidence on expected return on capital. But it is just my opinion that in current situation it is a prudent move. Look at big banks buying back preference shares from Buffet...........they are also taking the same decision.

-Rising crude oil price will provide scope of increasing realization on ethanol.

-yes it is a bit early but outsized returns are made from identifying the tide early.

-got in immidiately after earnings release @ 0.38. accumulating more on each dip. Technically first resistance is around $2. Will take partial profit there.

-stock is hard to borrow. There is strong short interest. Translating into high interest rate you can earn by lending this stock. I received 19% interest yesterday by lending my peix to short sellers. High rate will make it hard for shorters to carry over short position too long.

WAIT! The volume for today was 28M!? Whose buying this stock? Buffet's half brother?

Massive bargain, trading extremely cheap

Coming out of bankruptcy, showing strong forward momentum... Looks to easily be hitting the $1 before a year is up.. I jumped on at .44 in real life.. Now let's see where it goes... :)

Ethanol is future.

ethanol is the buisness of that company, it is that simple, quote eldrehad, i need some points to get back up to 95.

Oh look they made money in June ... err, nope. >10% mpg hit on E10. I'd rather pay 10% more and not have to deal with Ethanol's problems.

Turnaround play?

I will thumbs down ethanol until it goes the way of dowsing rods and phrenology.

rolling the dice. pick and pray

Ethanol is not an economically viable alternative to fossil fuels.

It really is just that simple.

interesting stock:
low ps
but no return on equity data available

Great corn crop last fall, government mandated increase in demand from 9B to 12B, global recovery, bad sugar crops (their competition), increased price of oil will draw people to cheaper ethanol prices, there's a possibility to up the 90/10 oil to ethanol ratio to 85/15 oil to ethanol.
