Updated 2:26 am, Wednesday, December 13, 2017. NEW YORK (AP) &mdash Wall Street got its first taste of bitcoin on Monday, with the price of the first-ever futures contract for the digital currency jumping 20 percent. It's a step forward for the bitcoin, which has soared this year despite concerns that the surge of investor interest has transformed it from a new-age currency into just the latest speculative bubble. One prominent securities regulator warned that people were now taking out second mortgages on their homes to buy bitcoin. The January contract for bitcoin futures closed at $18,545 on the Cboe Futures Exchange. Trading began Sunday and the price rose as high as $18,850, according to data from the Cboe.
The bitcoin futures first day of trading was not entirely smooth. The Cboe's website crashed several times or slowed down, due to a surge of interest. The exchange halted trading twice on the first day to stem volatility. The exchange operator has rules in place to stop trading after price swings of 10 percent. The Cboe said at least 20 trading firms "actively participated" in the first day of trading, without giving specifics. Volume of the bitcoin futures was relatively low, trading less than 4,000 contracts compared with the tens of thousands that typically trade for more popular commodities like oil, gold, or wheat, or the hundreds of thousands of contracts for popular stock-based futures like the S&P 500. The Cboe futures don't involve actual bitcoin. They allow investors to make bets on the future direction of bitcoin. Monday's futures price indicates investors expect bitcoin to keep rising in the coming weeks, although at a slower pace than seen recently. The futures price was about 8 percent higher than the price of $17,100 quoted for bitcoin on the large private exchange CoinBase late Monday afternoon. But with the surge of interest has come concerns about the bitcoin market being in a bubble. In an interview on business network CNBC, North American Securities Administrators Association President Joseph Borg said he observed some people taking out mortgages on their house to buy bitcoin. While bitcoin has a vocal group of true believers, it also attracts its fair share of detractors. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has called bitcoin "a fraud.
" Thomas Peterffy, chairman of the broker-dealer Interactive Brokers Group, expressed deep concerns about the trading of bitcoin futures last month, saying "there is no fundamental basis for valuation of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and they may assume any price from one day to the next." But there is some hopes that bringing bitcoin to a public exchange like the Cboe or the Chicago Mercantile Exchange will bring some regulation or legitimacy to the world of crypto-currencies. "The next immediate things we will see with the futures is more predictable price movement and less volatility," said Emin Gun Sirer, a professor at Cornell University who studies digital currencies like bitcoin. There have been other attempts to bring bitcoin investing into the mainstream. Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, twin brothers who own large amounts of bitcoin, tried to create an exchange-traded fund based on bitcoin, but federal regulators denied their application. The Winklevoss twins run Gemini, however, the exchange the CBOE is using to price its bitcoin futures. Cboe's rival exchange CME will start trading its own futures on Dec. 18 but will use a composite of several bitcoin prices across a handful of exchanges.

D. – A video released by a local millionaire has now been seen by more than 7 million people. It’s leaving many Americans shocked. Bill Bonner* is the founder and president of world’s largest underground media network — serving more readers than the New York Times and Wall Street Journal .
Three months ago Mr. Bonner took cover at a secluded ranch in the mountains of Argentina… Safely outside U. S. borders, Mr. Bonner finally released his decades-long research into America’s deepest, most pressing problem. He’s saying the United States is on track for an unexpected crisis — a failure in our financial system far worse than that of 2008. From his solar-powered laptop at 9,240 ft., Mr. Bonner revealed the specific steps every American can take to prepare now. His video lays out the details. Mr. Bonner avoids publicity. But his firm’s 36 years of research in 20 countries around the globe hasn’t gone unnoticed. Even America’s Central Intelligence Agency has sought out Mr. Bonner for help… After all, in 1987 it was Mr. Bonner’s research team that exposed the fall of the Soviet Union. At the time, the CIA was still warning Americans of an imminent Soviet attack. And when the NASDAQ plunged on March 10, 2000, he helped readers make a fortune with the number one asset of the next decade. Then more recently in October 2009, Mr. Bonner’s network alerted readers that America was around the corner from a massive oil boom. In 2005, his firm warned that lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would collapse… Today Mr. Bonner believes America — and the world with it — is on track to experience an inevitable failing of its current financial system.
He explained to me that it will have serious implications for “your bank account… your stocks… and your Social Security payments.” “Sooner or later,” said Mr. Bonner, “the entire economy is bound to get the shakes.” That’s why he prepared an urgent message for Americans. It explains exactly what he’s doing to save himself… and the specific steps you can take to protect yourself from the largest financial collapse in world history. I urge you to listen to the full story now. There’s no telling when Mr. Bonner’s message will be shut down. Of course, you’ve probably heard more than a few so-called “experts” on the Internet predicting a nationwide blackout… or the end of the dollar… But unlike similar messages, this is about something much deeper. And no, he’s not talking about a currency war or national debt… “ Stay in Marathon instead ” Partially (that is generous) renovated, its Old Charm. Partially (that is generous) renovated, its Old Charm was just Old. The grill food was mediocre at best. Bedding was old and thin. Staffing was thin. I recommend staying in the patio rooms at the Gage, dining at the Gage restaurant , Cenizo (fantastic, but pricey) and making Marathon your home base.
Go to the French Grocer one block away for vintage winescheeses for your picnics. and have a drink at the Paisano's courtyard while 'visiting' Marfa. The new Firefox.

Stock Incentive Plan and Stock Options. 1996 Stock Incentive Plan. The 1996 Stock Incentive Plan of BUCA, Inc. and Affiliated Companies provides an incentive to our key employees through the award of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock-based awards, or other performance awards that may be granted in cash, shares of stock, or other property and are related to performance goals. The plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The committee has full power and authority, subject to the terms of the plan, to designate participants and the type and terms of any awards. Any options granted may be incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options, must be for no longer than 10 years and, except under limited circumstances, are not transferable.
The base price for any stock appreciation right must be not less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of stock at the date of grant. The plan will be effective until October 1, 2006, but may be amended, altered, suspended or discontinued at any time by the Board, subject to certain limited exceptions. We have reserved 1,500,000 shares for issuance under the plan. Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors. The Stock Option Plan for Non - Employee Directors is also administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Prior to its termination in February 1999, the plan provided for option grants of common stock to each director who was not an employee of BUCA and had not been an employee for at least one year, in the amount of 1,333 shares on first election or appointment to the Board and 666 shares on each of the following anniversaries. The purchase price was 100% of the fair market value of the common stock, as defined in the plan, at the time the option was granted. The term of each option is ten years however, the option is not exercisable for the first year and will terminate if the optionee ceases to be a director in the one-year period following the grant of the option. The options are not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. We have reserved 26,666 shares for issuance under the plan. All options outstanding under the plan when terminated shall remain outstanding. In connection with the termination of the plan, the Board approved grants of options to purchase 8,000 shares of common stock to each of our six non - employee directors under the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan.
These options have an exercise price of $11.25 per share, are immediately exercisable and expire 10 years after grant. Non-employee directors will continue to be eligible for option grants under the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan. Paisano Partners Program. We have established the Paisano Partners program for our general managers, kitchen managers and assistant managers. The program for general managers has three primary components: profit sharing, the purchase of shares of our common stock and a stock option grant. The profit sharing component allows the general manager to participate in the profits of the restaurant he or she manages. To participate in the Paisano Partners program, general managers are required to purchase shares of our common stock worth approximately $20,000, at fair market value. We will also loan the general managers the purchase price of the stock at 8% interest, with the entire amount payable over five years. Under the stock purchase agreement we enter into with each general manager, we have certain repurchase rights regarding the stock. General managers also receive a one-time option grant to purchase 2,000 shares of our common stock at fair market value on the date of grant. The options are exercisable only upon completion of five years of employment as a Paisano Partner and expire 10 years after the date of grant. Participants in the. Paisano Partners program for kitchen managers participate in profit sharing and receive a one-time option grant to purchase 1,000 shares of our common stock on the same terms as that provided to general managers, but have no right to purchase shares under the program. Participants in the Paisano Partners program for assistant managers participate in profit sharing but receive no options and have no right to purchase shares.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. Philip A. Roberts, Don W. Hays, John P. Whaley and Paul Zepf, each a director, are members of the Board's Compensation Committee. Death of a Myth Maker. Share This Book. About. Summary. When trading post owner Texana Jones and her veterinarian husband Clay take refuge at the Paisano Hotel in Marfa, they again cross paths with danger. Texana is begged by a rancher to help a possible killer escape arrest. In this fourth in the borderland series, murder and its resolution play out amid the mixed Anglo and Hispanic culture of the trading post and the river. As usual the most convincing married pair in mystery are aided by a charming cast of eccentrics. "The great strength of Martin's Texana Jones series, now in its fourth installment, remains the vivid depiction of the stark Chihuahuan Desert of Presidio County, Texas, with its vibrant Tex-Mex culture and the unique mentality of its fronterizo inhabitants." - Booklist.

The information set forth in these condensed financial statements as of June 30, 1999 and for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 is unaudited. The information reflects all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring entries that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company for the periods indicated. Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year. Certain information in the footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements has been condensed or omitted, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Easyriders, Inc.
(Easyriders or the Company) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 13, 1998, and for financial reporting purposes is the successor to Newriders, Inc. On September 23, 1998, Easyriders, Inc. consummated a series of transactions (collectively, the Reorganization), including the following: (i) the merger of a subsidiary of Easyriders with and into Newriders, Inc. (Newriders) (the Merger) upon which the shareholders of Newriders exchanged their stock on a 2-for-1 basis for Easyriders, Inc. common stock (ii) the acquisition by Easyriders of all of the outstanding common stock of Paisano Publications, Inc. (Paisano Publications), a California corporation, and certain affiliated corporations (collectively, the Paisano Companies) and (iii) the acquisition by Easyriders of all of the outstanding membership interests of M&B Restaurants, L. C. (El Paso), a Texas limited liability company. As a result of the merger, the Newriders common stock was exchanged for Easyriders common stock on the basis of one share of Easyriders common stock for each two shares of Newriders common stock, and the stockholders of Newriders immediately prior to the merger became stockholders of Easyriders. The merger was accounted for as a combination of entities under common control, similar to a pooling of interest. Therefore, the historical financial statements represent the combined financial statements of Easyriders and Newriders. The acquisitions of the Paisano Companies and El Paso were accounted for as a purchase.
The Paisano Companies consist of Paisano Publications Easyriders of Columbus, Inc., an Ohio corporation Easyriders Franchising, Inc., a California corporation Easyriders Events, Inc., a California corporation Bros Club, Inc., a California corporation and Associated Rodeo Riders on Wheels, a California corporation. Paisano Publications publishes 11 special-interest magazines directed to motorcycle, hot-rod, and tattoo enthusiasts.

El Paso is a Texas limited liability company, which owns and operates four barbecue and smoked meat restaurants, three of which are located in Arizona and one of which is located in Oklahoma. The restaurants are operated under the name "El Paso Bar-B-Que." NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

The financial results for Easyriders, Inc. five operating segments have been prepared on a basis which is consistent with the manner in which Easyriders, Inc. management internally disaggregates financial information for the purposes of assisting in making internal operating decisions.

The historical results of the Company represent the results of Newriders, Inc. only and therefore no segment information is provided for prior years. The operations of Newriders, Inc. are considered to be one component of the food service segment. A reconciliation of the totals reported for the operating segments to the applicable line items in the consolidated financial statements is as follows: NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
