MARKET OVERVIEW
Overseas markets are irritatingly negative this morning with just six of the 15
markets that we track currently positive. The negatives are just enough to
turn the arrows red and the cumulative average return on the group is a
negative 0.041 percent. Our worst performer is the Switzerland Swiss Market
Index showing a loss of under one percent.
Before the open of the regular session, Initial Jobless Claims for the week
ending April 17 are expected to show a decline of 20,000 as compared to the
prior week's surprise 30,000 jump to a seasonally adjusted 360,000. The rise
added 6,750 to the four-week average, kicking it up to 344,250. As follow-up
acts to Fed Chairman Greenspan, Fed Governor Bies speaks on the economic
outlook in Nashville, Tennessee at 1:15 while Fed Governor Bernanke speaks on
the economy and monetary policy in New York commencing at 3:30.

DYNAMIC MARKET OPPORTUNITIES
The steady progression into the "Hydrogen Powered Era" continues with news that
Proton Energy Systems, a division of Nasdaq-listed company Distributed Energy
Systems Corp., will develop groundbreaking fueling technology for California's
so-called "Hydrogen Highway." The HOGEN generators are capable of producing
pure hydrogen from water and electricity, and using its Proton Exchange
Membrane electrolysis renewable energy resource in the field of transportation
"represents one of the most exciting opportunities," according to Distributed
Energy Systems president Walter W. Schroeder. Not only does Proton's
innovation present a non-polluting, renewable form of energy, Schroeder states
"our entry into the transportation market is an important growth strategy.
When hydrogen fuel cell vehicles come to market, we believe existing energy
suppliers will need to supply new forms of automotive fuel." Proton's plan
involves installing hydrogen gas pumps at service stations. At the moment
however, Proton's product is generating hydrogen in an industrial capacity,
such as cooling electric generating stations, oil, petrochemical, and
fertilizer processing, semiconductor fabrication, nanomaterial, and high-
performance metals production. With over 20 billion cubic meters of hydrogen
gas already produced annually in the U.S., the future looks bright for
Distributed Energy Systems as America increasingly turns to hydrogen power.
