Can Rock-Tenn Overcome the Smurfit-Stone Legacy of Mediocrity and Hubris

February 28, 2011

Analysis of:RockTenn and Smurfit-Stone Announce Early Termination of HSR Waiting Period | finance.yahoo.com

The immediate challenge for Rock-Tenn is not the disgruntled Smurfit-Stone shareholders in a valuation battle or the sorting out of structure for the assimilated organization. Of far greater import to them will be how to build passion and commitment in an underachieving business. Employees have grown weary of unfulfilled management initiatives. Smurfit customers have become trained that no price increase will ever go undiscounted and issues of non-performance can be minimized the same way.

Access to the Limited Global Supply of Tellurium is Critically Important

December 5, 2010

Analysis of:First Solar to Acquire 5N Plus to Access Tellurium? Is global tellurium supply really an issue? | www.greentechmedia.com

Even though the supply of all chemical elements in the universe is infinite with regards to the needs or uses for them known by the human race, nonetheless the limited supply of tellurium present at or near the earth's surface, that part of the world in which we do and can mine and recover it , is very limited.The amount of tellurium that can be obtained, not the total amount produced, by any one user, such as First Solar (FSLR), is the limiting factor to their production rate.
