    Olympics Ending Should Boost Commodity Driven Stocks [view article]
    Is the end of the Olympics a surprise? Wasn't it scheduled years in advance? And if so, wouldn't it already be discounted by the market? Are industrial purchasing managers and commodity traders obliged to sit on their hands until after the closing ceremony?

    Tying commodity prices to sports events makes as much sense as tying them to moon phases.

    Four Best Global Deals on Uranium [view article]
    I love when all of the tree huggers knock Nuclear energy, but they have no answers for anything. Do not drill! Do not use Nuclear. Do not have emmissions.. Ok. "Tree Hugger" how do we create the energy we need to support demand? Wind and Solar.... lol OMG if these morons knew how little of energy these two technologies produce they would not crawl out of their holes. You would need about 10,000 wind mills to produce as much energy as "one" Nuclear plant. And lets depend on mother nature for our energy. What happens if our enemy sends a missle that ignites a smog cloud that blocks the sun for a period of time? How do we get energy? Or what happens if it is not windy? OMG take your heads out of the tree and wake up to reality... With todays technology Nuclear is safe, and it does not release CO2 into the atmosphere. Even the tree huggers can like this technology if they actually did some research into how they actually store the used uranium. Accidents will happen, but that is in any industry. Chenobyl was 20 years ago and they did the dumbest thing possible by shutting it down, which you could never do today, and 3 Mile Island, no one even got hurt, everyone just freaked out because of a leak, and that could never happen today. We have been running Nuclear plants for over 20 years, no problems, France gets 80% of their electricity from Nuclear and have had no major issues. There are so many safety precautions now days, that it is safer than any other "real" energy technology. Reply

    The shutdown was only for factories in the Beijing area. Probably a small proportion of overall Chinese industrial production. Reply

    Waiting for Financials' Other Shoe to Drop [view article]
    Without US financials coming back, we won't see any reason to buy oil and commodity stocks. Demand destruction will continue to grow. While foreclosures may be at high rates, loans entering the default process (30-90 days late) are starting to slow down. The hysteria over foreclosures seems to be overblown. New loans aren't entering the process so if anything things are getting better and not worse as the general media seems to act. I've yet to see any facts proving that new foreclosures will get worst and exceed the reserves already taken by banks. Reply

    Give Gold Less Attention [view article]
    the market is not irrational,
    the ETF backup is being sold
    OTC, so the remaining paper is
    worthless, is supply and demand,
    but not as you supposed to be...

    Give Gold Less Attention [view article]
    Thanks for a balanced article (hard to find) on gold. Brave of you, considering the gold bug's religious zeal.

    It seems absurd that gold and miners are plummeting at the same time the treasury is printing money at a blistering rate, but the market is irrational, and it looks like the trend remains down for now. I tried to "catch the falling knife" by buying miners a couple of weeks ago, but I think I'll take my medicine and get out for now.

    We wouldn't have to talk abot opec if we pushed harder for solar, windmills, nuclear energy, and yes bullet trains across this vast U.S.A.. I'm sure France , Germany or Japan would help us build these modern 20th Century trains. Then we could tell the Muslims to shove their oil where the sun doesn't shine. Reply
