    What's Behind the Slide in Oil and Commodities? [view article]
    You provide good insight into global attitudes. Your only glich was suggesting that Harry Reid had anything to do with the cost of oil. Reply

    Weekly Market Review: Stagflation Story Remains Intact [view article]
    Why buy XLF when you could get better returns with a combination of HHV, HHK, and HHD?
    Here's an article about how buying the 3 etf basket will get you better returns than the underlying index.

    For Mr. Fry: thank you - best post on SA.

    For Mr. Borenstein: you seem to be implying that what we're going through is some sort of 'average' market event. I'm no economic historian, but I would have thought the confluence of so many adverse economic and financial circumstances is sufficiently unusual and potentially serious to make bottom-calling on the basis of what has happened in the past rather optimistic at this stage. With regard to whether or not the US is in recession, the way inflation is calculated these days there's no reason at all why any government should ever again have to live through the ignominy of presiding over two quarters of negative real growth. Finally, notwithstanding that Dollar bulls have had a good time dumping on Europe this week, with the exception of the property-infected economies in the UK, Spain, and Ireland many of us on this side of the water would rather have our problems than the immense structural morass that currently faces US policy-makers.

    The only one on the panel with any guts is Finerman (as noted by Macke). She is right-- all the bank stocks have unlimited up side and low downside. The men buy a stock and after 5 min. sell it in fright. Discusting. Reply

    Voters prefer Dem Energy policy? Something is wrong here. Taxbigot is absolutely right but he forgot their other policy; force oil producers to drill on all leases even though most of them have no oil. Do they realize how much it costs to drill. Here in my area [ Baaken Shale] it costs at least $5M. You don't drill many dry holes at that price. We never get a good energy policy because of partisan politics. Normthefedup has the right idea; Vote the bums out. But replace with what?

    Gabe -

    NBER sez:
    "The NBER does not define a recession in terms of two consecutive quarters of decline in real GDP. Rather, a recession is a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales. For more information, see the latest announcement on how the NBER's Business Cycle Dating Committee chooses turning points in the Economy and its latest memo, dated 07/17/03." www.nber.org/cycles.ht...

    Don't know about you, but I not buying a new SUV or Ford-150 pick-up this year (or next).
    The corn mill machinery manufacturer for whom I do tech writing isn't seeing new orders (domestic or export).

    Just had to reduce the rent on a rental despite all those foreclosed, previous home owners forced into the rental market.

    DHL likely to close its hub in Wilmington OH (6,000more unemployed).

    NASCAR fans still going to the races, yes, but camping and grilling out instead of staying in hotels and eating out.

    So a consumer-led recovery not likely.

    If I were a foreign investor I likely wait for more of the trillion dollar (or mote) write-downs to find their way out of the financials woodwork. In the meantime, I'm just sitting on my hands for a spell rather jump into a "bargain" U.S. equities.     Reply

    McCains off shore drilling proposal is too late for Americans to survive to-day.He was a Senator for 25 years. What has he accomplished in energy policy?None.Depending on carbon based economy in 21st century, is nothing but insanity. Most progressive countries who believe in innovation, are ahead of us in energy independent. Examples are Sweden, France and Brazil. Russia and MiddleEast want us to be Petroleum dependent (including our some Republican friends).Definition of insanity is doing the same thing but expecting different results. I think either we innovate or vegetate. There is no other alternative solution. Reply

    I can't believe I have this many people agreeing with me this morning. Hello Roman Empire is precisely the quote I made yesterday morning to a co-worker. This "administration&q... is a disgrace only compounded by the fact that WE (and I use the term loosely...I didn't vote for this clown) actually elected him TWICE. We HAVE terms limits. Want to change the government? Do your homework, go to the voting booth, and vote against every incumbent. Voila....it's a done deal....but 1/2 of the American populace are a certified idiots living from week to week.

    Tax the hell out of the oil companies...the biggie....WHY............ Next time you need gas, despite the cost over which they have NO control either, just drive about 1/4 mile and GET IT. They provide us all with reliable, easy to find, never seems to run out, service and product. Yeah...tax the hell out of them....and watch gas in 5 years because they haven't got the money to...as the White House Idiot has put it: "...drill ourselves out of this problem." Morons.     Reply

    In the future a summary of your thesis would be useful. Charts and more charts are great, but at the end, like in any paper/column/article, you need to summarize your main points. Some of us are too dumb to read between the lines and my eyes glaze over after about the 3rd chart. Reply

    Thanks taxbiggot. I thought that I had misread the article.
    - On your point, last year Exxon Mobil paid federal income taxes equal to the bottom half (65 million) of US taxpayers.
    - The McCain program includes medium term drilling off shore (a Democrat taboo), and a major investment in nuclear (something Harry Reid will do everything he can to block.) Both candidates are in favor of solar panels and wind farms, but you can't get from here to there without nuclear, and Obama won't take on that challenge.     Reply

    Major banks are being taken over by the government, and you call them "perceived problems"? No wonder, we need to stay away from TV - bloomberg or not. Reply
