    Jan 10 (Reuters) - Fuel-cell parts maker Hoku Scientific Inc (HOKU.O: Quote, Profile, Research) said it amended its polysilicon supply contract with a unit of Solarfun Power Holdings Co Ltd (SOLF.O: Quote, Profile, Research) to process the statutory approval for the issuance of a standby letter of credit.

    Under the amended deal, Solarfun will now have until Feb. 15 to process the letter of credit and in exchange, Solarfun has provided Hoku with a $1 million prepayment, in addition to the $10 million cash payment that was made in December. "We understand that it can be time consuming to obtain approvals through the Chinese government processes as China is still a country under foreign exchange controls," said Dustin Shindo, chief executive of Hoku Scientific.

    In November, Hoku had signed the $306 million, eight-year contract with SolfarfunPower Hong Kong Ltd, which required Solarfun to deposit $10 million to Hoku on or before December 28 and provided for additional prepayments of $45 million, which had to be secured by a letter of credit on or before January 10.

    Hoku added the additional $1 million payment reduces Solarfun's future prepayment obligation to $44 million from $45 million.

    Solarfun shares were trading down more than 2 percent at $27.40, while Hoku stock was up more than 3 percent at $11.44 in morning trade on the Nasdaq. (Reporting by Sanjay Vijayakumar in Bangalore; Editing by Gopakumar Warrier)

    Holy crap...

    You are right Koaj, and the stock went up like crazy.

    Low below 5 today, high of 8.91?

    Shorts got nailed on that one.

    I think it is more than a rumor, as the Journal and Reuters talking more than just speculation.

    It makes sense..BAC has a ton invested already and if they get it under 10 a share, that would be a steal for them.

    Manipulators having a field day running this right up the shorts' asses.
     
    I thought "the market" would sell off later day and tomorrow.
     
    Looks like I'm going to get my shot to go short on SPY sometime soon......perhaps as early as next week.
     
    This rumor powered bounce......................

    BAC threw what.......like 2.2 billion at CFC back in late summer when it was 20ish.
     
    Now it's 5ish (before the shorts got blasted), and they want more.
     
    Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.  Shame on BAC.
     
    CFC is no good.....should've been left to die.

    boiler - if you're a realtor, you want a CFC preapproval stamp? i wouldnt

    check CFC's website...offering 5.45% on a 3 month cd and 5% on a 12 month cd

    anytime you see higher shorter term rates that means that the company/bank needs cash...and needs it quickly

    I dont think CFC is a "bad" company. They took some risks and got extended, then had to pay the price.

    If someone wants to buy them out, I dont think it is a bad bet longer term especially at these prices.

    Boiler is right and I bet we will look back and regret not trying a little more on a few names that will survive.

    HOV at under 5 was probably a screaming deal..same with TOL and C and BAC and others.

    Looks like the broad market is running out of breath at end of day.  Rumors will fly tomorrow.......ones that make stuff go down, and ones that make stuff go up.
     
    Who knows how it will all play out.
     
    Am "hoping" for a continuation of the current sucker's rally, but I am skeptical.  I just don't think there're enough dumb people out there to buy this crap right now.  Have got to hope that the manipulators terrorize shorts tomorrow with rumors, so I can short SPY sometime next week.
     
    My prediction is a strong sell-off all day tomorrow.

    From a inewsletter, this is the bind I see the Fed in....and they are going to cut, but to what end?

    For years, China has aggressively pursued contracts to secure reliable oil supplies, especially in regions like Africa. As it currently stands, the U.S. has no energy security plan other than to remain friendly with Saudi Arabia and hope that country meets its production goals. But even if OPEC can keep production high enough to meet insatiable demand, it’s unlikely that it will ship oil in the same quantities to the same customers.

    Another thing to keep in mind, which we saw unfold in early November, is Ben Bernanke’s dilemma. With oil and gold at record highs, can he really afford to slash short-term interest rates to help save housing? Though he likes to bluff, he can’t afford to push rates down to 1%, as Greenspan did in the last easing cycle. If he did, another round of dollar weakness would drive international investors to gold and tangible assets even faster. It would also make oil less expensive in stronger foreign currencies, which would draw more oil supply to foreign markets.

    For whatever it's worth, probably not much, but I just had a couple longnecks with a buddy of mine tonight that works for JP Morgan Chase in the commercial division.  I asked him about the state of banking and he assured me that that they are well funded, liquid, and secure.  He can't understand why the stock is beat'in down so badly.  He said their client base has actually increased in the state of Michigan in 2007, the only bank that has.  But he also said there will be several banks that won't make it, he specifically mentioned National City, and that you should be leary of any bank that cuts it's dividend, as that's usually the final nail in their coffin.

    Bank of America Corp. said Friday it has agreed to buy Countrywide Financial for $4 billion in stock, a deal that both rescues the country's biggest mortgage lender and expands the financial services empire of the nation's largest consumer bank.

    As of yesterday's close the deal is worth $4.14 billion and represents a 7.6 percent discount to Countrywide's closing price.

    The Wisconsin Heart Hospital today announced that leading cardiothoracic surgeon Husam H. Balkhy, M.D., will webcast a live off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure from The Wisconsin Heart Hospital. The approximately 75-minute live webcast will be available on https://www.OR-Live.com on Thursday, January 17, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. A replay will be available for 180 days following the live presentation for interested parties.

    During the webcast, Husam H. Balkhy, M.D., Chairman of the Department of Cardiac & Vascular Surgery and head of the robotics program at The Wisconsin Heart Hospital, will perform a beating heart procedure using the C-Port xA(R) and C-Port(R) Flex A(TM) Distal Anastomosis Systems. Developed by Cardica, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRDC), the innovative C-Port anastomosis systems are designed to allow surgeons to automate the attachment of blood vessel grafts, replacing traditional hand-sewn with sutures. In addition to its use of the C-Port systems, The Wisconsin Heart Hospital recently acquired Intuitive Surgical's (Nasdaq: ISRG) da Vinci(R) S Surgical System, to continue to advance its leadership in minimally invasive surgery.

    During the broadcast, Dr. Louis A. (Trey) Brunsting III, M.D., cardiothoracic surgeon at Centennial Medical Center in Nashville, will present video footage that shows a robotic closed-chest bypass procedure using the C-Port Flex A system in combination with the da Vinci(R) Surgical System. To date, Dr. Brunsting has performed several closed chest procedures using the Cardica device.

    Moderating the live procedure will be Tung Cai, M.D., Medical Director and Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery at the Presbyterian Hospital of Denton. Dr Cai will present his published clinical patency data on the C-Port distal portfolio and review Dr. Balkhy's C-Port patency data from the November 2007 American Heart Association Scientific conference. This data was part of a study co-authored with Samuel Wann, M.D., Chair of the Department of Cardiac and Vascular Medicine at The Wisconsin Heart Hospital.

    All three physicians will narrate during the procedure, explaining critical aspects of the surgery, and will answer viewers' e-mail questions submitted live during the event.

    "This particular type of bypass is vital to the development of robotic, closed-chest bypass procedures, and therefore proving its efficacy in open-chest procedures is critical," said Dr. Balkhy.

    According to Dr. Balkhy, "Cardica's C-Port systems represent a breakthrough in distal anastomotic devices that facilitate and simplify beating heart and robotic CABG procedures. These devices allow surgeons to offer patients less invasive cardiac surgery and may improve outcomes. This live webcast will provide surgeons with a convenient forum for an interactive exchange of questions, ideas and opinions about these revolutionary devices."
