Is There Any Hope for the Big Three Auto Makers? [view article]
Much as I hate to say this, it may be time to redefine what we mean by the Big Three. Maybe the Big Six? ReplyWall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]
"Sources say Microsoft (MSFT) has talked with both Time Warner (TWX) and News Corp. (NWS) about joining it in a deal that would see Microsoft buy Yahoo's (YHOO) search business, while one of them would combine forces with what remained of Yahoo."This works for me, as a Yahoo CUSTOMER. Yahoo search-- who cares? I DID care about MSFT acquiring Yahoo Mail and Flickr, because those services would certainly suffer under the direction of Ballmer and his nitwits (witness how MSFT destroyed HoTMaiL).
"But lawyers said that the kind of legal requests being issued by the Justice Department in this case - "civil investigative demands" - are not routine."
It will be routine; there are no credible antitrust issues here. MSFT bribed a few buddies in Washington, no doubt, to raise a ruckus, the the current, corrupt administration gets its walking papers on 1/20/09.
"Massive downsizing at Starbucks." What took so long? Downscale Dunkin Donuts makes better coffee, at half the price. Starbucks has always brewed way too dark.
"Blockbuster (BBI) officially withdrew its offer to buy Circuit City Stores (CC)" Tying to "loser" companies together is rarely a recipe for success. Time Warner/AOL. MSFT/Yahoo, had it gone through.
"Ford said June sales were limited due to tight supplies of small cars."
Gee, they could have planned for this, say, 15 years ago when I took my first trip to Europe and was amazed by all the really cool FUEL EFFICIENT cars you could buy. In the States, you had little choice then but monstrous SUV's. I had a Corolla then-- and excellent car-- but not as efficient as many of the models I saw in Europe.
"Senior Pentagon officials say there is an increasing likelihood Israel will attack Iran,". Perhaps you differ in this, Eli, but I'd rather have you guys do it than us.

Bond Expert: Tuesday Wrap [view article]
The seemingly incongruous behavior of the bond market is being influenced by four factors: (1) There is no US wage inflation; (2) The rate of money growth is currently near zero; (3) The deflation of the credit bubble, ie, much lower velocity of money; and (4) the deflation in a major asset - housing.Obviously, the bond market is offsetting commodity inflation with the above disinflation and deflationary factors.

You are ignorant. ReplyIs There Any Hope for the Big Three Auto Makers? [view article]
I wonder if Kirk Kerkorian is still harboring dreams of gaining control of Ford, considering that he bought his few million shares at $7 only to watch it fall to $4. Well, at least Ford has someone who may be willing to pump more money into the company.. Not sure if GM or Chrysler can say the same.Reply

Stocks That May Take a Hit When (If) Oil Hits $150 [view article]
In the same vein, a dubious individual can make an astute claim. I don't fault the writer for his article, but criticism is better met with fact, than with attacks on the character of your opponent. Thanks for the interesting thoughts though. It is harder to create than to criticise. ReplyBum

One who relies on title for justification of a belief or view, dishonours that title and undermines the intellectual authority that title was meant to convey.Reply

How can bonds keep going up with inflation screaming? Bonds should fall and the yields should be driven up. The bond market has it all wrong. ReplyS&P 500 Stocks Furthest Above and Below Their 50-Day Moving Averages [view article]

S&P 500 Stocks Furthest Above and Below Their 50-Day Moving Averages [view article]
I don't think the S&p 500 will see 1400 again this year. Over the weekend Peter Schiff spoke to Barron's. He thinks the U.S is in trouble. There will always be good stock in any market, but most people will lose in declining market. Investing in foriegn markets is best.

Another couple of scary charts...I think I'm in the 70s... ReplyGlobal Warming Up to a Hydrogen Economy [view article]
Any high school chemistry student knows how to make H2 from H2O. It takes some familarity with thermodynamics and economics to appreciate the costs.A catalyst can only permit a reaction that is thermodynamically possible. No catalyst can make H2 from water without input of more energy than you get from making water from H2. The same applies to making carbon and oxygen from CO2. That energy has to come from somewhere. It would take a huge excess supply of nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal, hydro, or tidal power before one could consider a meaningful conversion of CO2 to C and O2 or of H2O to H2 and 1/2*O2.
How much consideration is being given to use of solar power and biomass (algea?) to use up CO2 and make O2? In Brazil they are making CO2 from forrests in order to make ethanol from sugar.
The idea of nuclear power to make electricity to make H2, pipe the H2 to homes, make electricity from H2 at the home, and use this electricity to heat the home seems to be, at the least, somewhat inefficient. As a matter of fact it seems like fuzzy thinking taken to a new extreme.

Is Anything Worth Owning in the Auto Industry? [view article]
Gumby: I'm shaking in my socks..... Please continue to write nonsense. ReplyThe Future of Ford’s Mid Sized Car Business [view article]
Remember that the last old-line Taurus (not the rebadged Five Hundredths) is a curvy soap-bar-shaped car that Mondeo resembles. Anybody can make a soap-bar shaped car.Styling is subjective. I hate driving soap bars and frankly I'm not impressed by the Mondeo.
