    As the USD goes, so inversely go the international fund returns. Reply

    If a short squeeze started to develop in an ETF, wouldn't an institutional invester simply deposit a large amount of money and "create" a large number of new shares? That should collapse the squeeze. Reply

    6 times outstanding shares? Wow.

    Those the buying and selling of these ETFs actually impact the price of the underlying index somehow? Does a short squeeze in the ETFs entail a short squeeze in all stocks represented by the ETF?

    Mid-Year Report: Is a Summer Turn-around Still Possible? [view article]
    lksseven must be drinking a lot of that "Koolaid" if he believes what he just posted.

    Unfortunately the Democrats do not have a veto-proof majority. If they did we would not have had Senate Republicans halt a $32 billion package of tax breaks for renewable energy that would have been financed mostly by new taxes on big oil, on June 21, 2007. President Bush threatened to veto the final legislation because, he argued, it discouraged domestic oil and gas production, and increases the tax burden on the oil industry

    Opening up ANWAR and the OCS is literally a drop in the bucket; not even a good stopgap measure. "Opening up offshore areas to oil exploration...might cut the price of gas by 3 to 4 cents a gallon at most, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council."

    www.time.com/time/busi...

    The right wing of the Republican party is only starting to talk the renewable talk because it is good politics. They don't have a history of walking the renewable walk.

    The only way we'll stop sending $700 Billion of America's net worth EVERY YEAR to the oil exporters is to change the politics in Washington. Based on track record Republicans are for more of the same, which is hurting our economy.

    I do not agree that oil is rising due to speculation. There is certainly the law or supply and demand in effect; Anyone who can't see this must be blind. Also, there are so many trillions of USD sitting in far away places, earning nothing and seeing their buying power go down moment by moment. Is it not wiser to buy something you can use, whether it be iron, manganese, oil, wood, cement, anything is better than the USD Reply

    It's not the Republicans and it's not the Democrats, it's us. We want to hear a bedtime story, while sucking on a lolly pop and they give it to us while helping their friends sell us down the river. I'm sure sagesteve will continue to do fine, his sons will be in charge of the Chinese Reeducation Camps Corporation (Symbol CRCC in the SSE), Iksseven will be teaching Conversational Chinese and denying he ever liked Dick Cheney and Phil's mantra will be Nancy Who?

    I hope Phil is right and Americans refuse to use any more oil but that which is absolutely necessary during a break neck transition to all the alts mentioned, but I doubt it. We've become, fat and lazy, have an absurd feeling of entitlement and are ripe for any demagogue to lead us to perdition with reassuring fairy tales.
