    Energy is SO going to make people a LOT of money. If only I had more cash--but I guess I'm destined to make my money mostly in precious metals. I do have some CNX--oh man would I like MORE right now. And CXG. I also have some microcaps. Reply

    If you bought 500 shares of each one, you'd already be a millionaire! Reply

    I agree with you, don2m. Your investment idea seems like a good idea.


    Will you loan me the money to try it?

    It almost would appear that there is strong manipulation in the entire sector as the numbers would indicate here.
    The sector always hangs by a very thin thread anyway as evidenced by IKE last week so to say at this point that energy is dead is insane. Take the entire list and buy 500 shares of every one and sit for 2 years and the odds would support becoming a multi millionaire. When the "powers" decide that the energy sector is oversold and there is a blip in the supply or further extortion from the producers the prices will soar again. It would be an excellent investment at this particular time.

    Will the Energy Exodus Fuel a Consumer Stock Frenzy? [view article]
    I see short energy / long consumer discretionary trade going for a while now, about a month or so. Like with everything these days, traders push is far beyond the point where it make sense. It stopped making sense to me about 2 weeks ago, but it still keeps going. Expect a violent snap back when it stops working.
    I give you one example, - I am short RSH, shorted in $19.5 area. It is up from $13 to $20 since July lows, that is 80%, it makes no sense, nobody goes to Rdio Shack stores, it is one of worst companies out there. Who is buying it? I tell you who, - computers.

    Given the following Hypothesis, Dow below 9,000 and S&P at 900, will my investing in either consumer discretionary or staples guarantee a positive return? Reply

    Weekly TA, you raise a good point. Actually, though, Consumer Discretionary has kept pace this quarter with Consumer Staples, trailing the return by just 0.4% in the S&P 500 and beating in Mid-Cap and trailing in Small-Cap by small magnitudes.

    I considered combining the two. Certainly I am not suggesting that all reallocation favors solely Consumer Discretionary. From an economic perspective, there is a very direct correlation: "Discretionary&qu... spending has been shifted from consumption of other goods and services to energy costs. From a stock view, Consumer Discretionary stocks have been hammered, while Staples have actually outperformed stocks generally as their earnings have been hurt less and as investors have sought them for their defensive qualities. I have the data, and Staples tends to get bigger when the market is going down and smaller as it goes up (i.e. it has a lower beta). Going back to the bottom of the bear market in 2002 roughly, Staples was at 13.4% of the S&P 500 compared to just 8.1% two years earlier. At year-end 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007, it was roughly 10.5%. Today it is 12.1%, a rather high number already.

    Why no mention of consumer staples? They're obviously outperforming the discretionaries in the environment we're in. Reply

    Ahem... with oil near $100 yet again, would anyone like to say: Right on the money, Herr Amberger!

    Okay, I do it myself!

    S&P Energy Sector Can't Catch a Break [view article]
    Look for the sector to remain depressed past the election. Even though OPEC voted yesterday to reduce actual production by adhering to their existing quotas, the Saudis will likely continue to produce several hundred thousand barrels over their quota. They are playing the same game they played in 2004, producing way over their quota for several months before the election.

    What happens after the election depends on whether their current production levels have stressed any of their fields and whether they see it in their political as well as economic interests to have the oil price rise rather than fall.

    This political factor may be part of the reason why Charles Maxwell believes oil has further to fall, but will eventually go up to $300.

    The Saudis are exceptionally good at keeping secrets; guessing is aided by heeding what they do, not what they say.

    "When you consume these (or their derivatives), you’re largely consuming domestically-supplied energy." Lots of natural gas is imported from Canada - and maybe in short supply fairly soon.

    PNM issued V.03 of its electric integrated resource planning 2008-2029.

    It weighs 1 7/8 pounds.

    We have a different perception of what happened in about 17 meetings spanning over a year.

    mandatory fuel mileage increases should be restricted to cubans, chinese, and n. koreans, where the sheeple are used to government controls. freedom of choice is the american way. if voluntary acceptance of incresed fuel mileage dosesn't occur to your satisfaction, cajole and convince the doubters, but forget about prohibition, rationing, reducing freedom.

    I just found this article about a bill that required companies to use fuel efficient cars. It was shot down in the Senate by republicans but McCain was one of the few that supported it.

    I hope if elected he really is that same maverick. I doubt it though
