It's geology..something an internet wonk will never understand. Well..lots of luck to those of you who think this is a bubble!!
I have to say..and people can take this any way they like...there is an incredible oversupply of inept and self pumping articles on this site by ...fill in the blank...]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/82360-bye-bye-oil-bubble?source=feed#comment-191292 191292 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 17:56:35 -0400
Supply and demand fool!]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/82360-bye-bye-oil-bubble?source=feed#comment-191081 191081 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 13:57:25 -0400 Usage if the word bubble is a sign of low prices, not a top.
I just LOOOOVE these "bubble heads" here on SA and on "bubble vison" like CNBC, or MarketWatch!]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/82360-bye-bye-oil-bubble?source=feed#comment-191073 191073 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 13:48:49 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/82360-bye-bye-oil-bubble?source=feed#comment-191043 191043 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 13:19:51 -0400
Chistletoe makes a good point. The other day I heard a woman complain that she was astounded that a gallon of gas now cost as much as a Grande Latte at Starbucks. Shouldn't she be perplexed that a cup of coffee costs as much as a gallon of gas?]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/82360-bye-bye-oil-bubble?source=feed#comment-668346 668346 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 13:07:18 -0400
As for ridiculous prices, well, the price of gasoline is still about half of the price of bottled tap water at my local gas station.
But don't worry, realistic prices will be here soon!]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/77854-baidu-riding-the-chinese-internet-dragon?source=feed#comment-176022 176022 Thu, 29 May 2008 11:32:22 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/77854-baidu-riding-the-chinese-internet-dragon?source=feed#comment-171544 171544 Thu, 22 May 2008 04:00:04 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/77854-baidu-riding-the-chinese-internet-dragon?source=feed#comment-170156 170156 Mon, 19 May 2008 15:36:22 -0400
Baidu is a fabulous company. A crown jewel of the new China.

May I also point out that China Netcom's partner MYST.OB is also a great company to watch in the coming months.

MYST.OB is about to launch Subaye English B2B site. A direct competitor to Alibaba English. \

Certainly, MYST.OB should be watch closely.

b. margin will be required for sellers of contracts
d. all derivative contracts will be settled in cash
As it now stands counterparty risk is unacceptable. Big players do not have to post margin, other lesser players may have margin waived. Delivery of securities as required in a default event is cumbersome if not impossible.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/72156-bsc-bailout-fed-prevented-a-domino-effect?source=feed#comment-150306 150306 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 09:34:06 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/72156-bsc-bailout-fed-prevented-a-domino-effect?source=feed#comment-150274 150274 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 09:03:14 -0400 absolutely frightening!]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/72156-bsc-bailout-fed-prevented-a-domino-effect?source=feed#comment-150226 150226 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 07:42:38 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/72156-bsc-bailout-fed-prevented-a-domino-effect?source=feed#comment-150208 150208 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 06:25:12 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/71363-decoding-the-bernanke-fed-s-agenda?source=feed#comment-146804 146804 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 02:58:05 -0400
Personally, I think both Greenspan and Bernanke were/are inept and failed to recognize either bubble. Then when the schtuff hit the fan they hurry in to rescue Wall Street rather than the economy. Witness the fact that inflation is up, unemployment is rising, wages are well behind inflation, and GDP is at a virtual standstill ... but we just had a remarkably nice rally on Wall Street. _Perhaps_ when Bernanke _speaks_ it "jinxes the market", but when he _acts_ it's another story altogether. Never mind the fact that the Fed's approach will most likely leave the bumbling idiots that ran their bank(s) into the ground still earning multi-million dollar salaries while helping people who got sucked into buying houses at bubble inflated prices not one whit. I think it's pretty clear where the Fed's loyalties lie.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/71363-decoding-the-bernanke-fed-s-agenda?source=feed#comment-146549 146549 Mon, 07 Apr 2008 14:55:27 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/71363-decoding-the-bernanke-fed-s-agenda?source=feed#comment-146302 146302 Mon, 07 Apr 2008 09:03:22 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/70497-economic-slowdown-is-inevitable?source=feed#comment-134972 134972 Wed, 02 Apr 2008 01:06:02 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/69654-deep-diving-into-the-real-estate-mess?source=feed#comment-131168 131168 Tue, 25 Mar 2008 10:43:23 -0400
Basically: Jobs, jobs, jobs.

But where will these new jobs come from?

Not only is this at odds with the "geniuses" who are busy outsourcing America's jobs and pocketing the difference...

...but these are greedy b*st*rds, also.

In 2006, only 51.6% of national income went to wages and salaries, this is the lowest percentage since 1929.

If these "geniuses" were really so concerned about boosting the economy, they need only raise wages.

Not for themselves, but for the working man.

This will NEVER, EVER happen.

These "geniuses" are going to ride America right down the drain.

Profiting all the way.

It's insane, but look who's running their political party.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/69654-deep-diving-into-the-real-estate-mess?source=feed#comment-130568 130568 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 10:06:52 -0400
