Kia, of course, applies the auto industry's favorite description to the car: "all new."
In this case that's pretty close to right ��although it seems more like fine-tuning if you just look at the dimensions, the engines, other specifications. Length and width are just fractions of an inch greater than for the previous model. Headroom and total passenger space are reduced very slightly, but rear legroom, front shoulder room and cargo space are up. So's fuel tank capacity.
Base 1.6-liter engine, no powerhouse to begin with, loses eight horsepower, five pounds-feet of torque and one mile per gallon on government ratings. The base model also 2014 is up to 100 pounds heavier than the 2013. Combined with the drop in power and its small engine, we'd expect that one to feel like a slug.

Looking through a kaleidoscope of facts about J. Kyle Bass, this guru quickly takes on a colorful and larger-than-life mythos. Hailing from the big-thinking state of Texas, Bass is often described as a big dreamer with a studious and practical streak. His career blossomed almost overnight when he reportedly made around a half a billion dollars betting against subprime CDOs in 2007. Bass comes across as a visionary who asks why not instead of why. He told CNBC that he likes to reduce email time and cut out the noise by learning about world markets through symbiotic relationships with friends like Alan Fournier and other billionaires. Every year Bass invites his notable friends to his ranch in Larue, Texas, for a special event called The Barefoot Economic Summit, Texas (BEST). Bass said he learns more in two days of the summit than in two months of emails.

There is a steady stream of recent electric vehicle sector or related stock news from�the likes of Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA), Kandi Technologies Group Inc (NASDAQ: KNDI), HydroPhi Technologies Group, Inc (OTCMKTS: HPTG) and Green Automotive Co (OTCMKTS: GACR) that you might want to be paying attention to:

When most people think of electric vehicle stocks, they probably think of troubled Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) or one of the several Chinese stocks active in the space, but North America based large cap Magna International Inc (NYSE: MGA) and small caps Polypore International, Inc (NYSE: PPO), UQM Technologies Inc (NYSEMKT: UQM) and Green Automotive Company (OTCMKTS: GACR) are all players, one way or the other, in the electric vehicle space that most investors have probably overlooked or just aren�� aware of. Of course, we can argue�about whether or not purely electric vehicles or some sort of hybrid vehicles are the way of the future, but what cannot be argued about is the fact that the following electric vehicle stocks are at the forefront of EV or�hybrid technology and design:

There's one budding company that finds itself squarely in the middle of common sense and practically in terms of battery-operated vehicles, however, even if it's not a household name yet. It's Green Automotive Co. (OTCMKTS:GACR), and the company understands EVs have to be affordable as well as functional. It also understands that passenger cars aren't the only great opportunity for electric drive train technology. That's why GACR is poised to be a compelling long-term investment idea for those who truly believe electric vehicles are here to stay.

It's been on the radar for weeks. But, not even the investors who knew something big was coming could have predicted the splash that Green Automotive Co. (OTCMKTS:GACR) would be able to make at the upcoming Limousine, Charter, and Tour Conference in Las Vegas. It is "the" event of the year for the industry, when new products are showcased, when buyers make decisions, and when deals are made. And, given what GACR has ready to display at the conference, this little company could end up stealing the show.

Whereas in the 1970s there were limited ways to hedge against inflation, now there is a cornucopia of currency and international commodities instruments that can not only hedge against inflation but other global shocks, such as market bubbles and even war.
And it is these very scenarios that investors have been worried about. Since the beginning of the year, stocks, bonds and just about any investment you can think of have gyrated wildly at various times amid concerns of war, inflation and the possibility that the U.S. equity market is overvalued and headed for a correction.
In response, some market analysts in Bloomberg news reports have offered any number of wildly unsubstantiated statements for why investors should ignore today’s perils. They dismiss the danger posed by Russia�� annexation of Ukraine�� Crimea region (��utin will stop short of other countries or war with the West��. They also argue that the Federal Reserve chairwoman misspoke (��anet Yellen really didn�� mean a rate hike is coming soon. Inflation is under control. It was a rookie mistake��.
For my money, here’s the most outrageous: The Shiller Cyclically adjusted P/E metric which has predicted the 1929, 2000 and 2007 downturns doesn�� apply (��uggests only a slightly expensive market with low to moderate returns going forward on average��.
With new records being set by the S&P 500 in the last few months, it stands to reason that some investors have not needed much convincing to stay all in and buying. This mindset has prevailed, even as the impact of a Russian war or conflict, runaway inflation or a market correction could be devastating to investor portfolios, taking years to recover.
If you��e never thought of certain investments as “insurance,” it�� time to start now. Protecting wealth is as important as building wealth. And as previously mentioned, we have found that the Inflation Survival Letter�� Thri - [By Richard Stavros]
