    Van Eck's Hard Assets Producers ETF: A Better Alternative to Commodity ETFs? [view article]
    Also of note is that more than 90% of the fund's assets are in positions that comprise less than 1% of the portfolio. I will watch this product for its benefits, if any, from investing in the equity of commodity producers, which appear to have more risk, than other commodity future based products. Reply

    ETF Update: Alternative Energy Regains Interest [view article]
    Ethanol will not have a place in a CNG(TBOONE) oriented society. I have yet to see uses for ethanol other than a Gasoline replacement. It will not have a future if CNG is adopted. I'm talking in years not overnight.

    I do not have a Clue as to what other alternative energy companies will disapear in their entirety if an Energy Policy based on CNG vehicles is adopted. But I have to assume that many ETFs will integrate those with no future in their structures.

    What would be interesting is a Screened Selection of ETFs which would have enhanced prospects if a TBoone based CNG Energy Policy were adopted.     Reply

    Oye Hugito.. how stupid do you really think canadians are?! They will just wait until you have squandered the easy [exploitable by your crop of PDVSA ignorantes] mineral wealth of your country and eventually you will fall from favor. Then you either meet your fate like Delgado Chalbaud [assassinated] or run like a rat in the dark like Perez Jimenez at 4:15AM. Then, Canada and the USA and others will come in under the succeeding friendly government and produce that Orinoco reserve. pendejo! ladilla! Reply

    It takes 5 liters of water to produce 1 liter of tar sands oil. (globe and mail, Aug. 25,08) Where does that figure in this equation? Oh ya, what a stupid idea that all should benefit from a natural resource that's lying in the ground. Wheew! Who thought that one up? Reply

    Chavez should get the Salvador Allende treatment. Hey, Hugo---take off the phoney uniform and be a statesman, scumbag. All that oil and inflation at 27%---what a joke! Almost as worthless as Che the Loser... Reply

    It would be idiotic for any company involved in the Canadian oil sands to form any kind of partnership with the current Venezuelan government. The only benefit would be for the madman Chavez and his cronies and no benefit what-so-ever for companies producing in the Canadian oil sands.

    Chavez has come to realize a few things after kicking out the multinationals in 2006.

    1) Venezuela's conventional oil reserves are depleting much faster than he originally anticipated. The inefficiency of PVDSA operations does not help matters.
    2) His only hope is in the Orinoco tar sands. The original companies ExxonMobin and ConocoPhilips involved with Orinoco fields said they would rather lose their original investment that agree to Chavez's terms.
    3) His only hope is to trick Canadian oil sands producers into helping him with Orinoco heavy oil production. He has finally realized oil sands production requires a great deal more expertise than regular oil production and needs outside help.
    4) If any company is stupid enough to help him, they will face the same fate as the "Gringo capitalists" from the multinational oil companies who were kicked out in 2006.

    I think one should not go too far in proclaiming NOCs generalized incompetence...they did manage to get almost all the oil reserves after all, and some, like Petrobras are actually pretty competent in their fields of expertise... Reply

    Our shop has a negative outlook on tar sands, for a variety of reasons, chiefly the energy required to produce and improve net heavy crude. The world has a surplus of cheap heavy. I don't think tar should be booked as reserves.

    Perhaps it hasn't sunk in yet, how utterly incompetent the NOCs are, uniformly, worldwide. Aramco minus Halliburton equals zero.     Reply

    Bush and his ilk are the criminals; Chavez should do whatever necessary to root out the evil big oil barons. If other nations made decisions that weren't designed to appease U.S. interests, perhaps, we'd see a peaceful world. Anyone favoring big U.S. oil, deserves to lose their fortune. Reply

    Agree with Georealist.... Look at Mexico's falling output. For a relatively cooperative economy, they don't want to pair up with outside exploration companies. What hope does Venezuela have if they're crossing their fingers behind their back while trying to make a deal. As far as Russia is concerned, if I were Lukoil, I'd be squirming in my seat.

    I'd like to point out, that I have lived in several foreign countries, love other cultures and do for the most part understand and support them. And I have just purchased MTL and Gazprom as I do believe that Gazprom. being tied to the government will do OK.. I also think Metel has obliged with hat in hand and will survive this go round. But, I wouldn't touch anything in Venezuela with a ten foot pole...

    I agree with a some of your points although you make a number of assumptions. Chavez is not the biggest problem, Russia, Iran, and other more dangerous nations have the potential to cause much larger problems than Venezuela in the future.
