    The Problem with Hedge Funds [view article]
    when the funds used to invest in hedge funds are from employee savings...pension monies etc.. they should be declared illegal or off limits or both. investing peoples life savings in such funds is at best... "reckless." Reply

    Does anybody understand the approach that Boeing and the unions have taken over the last several years. While we don't have a national strategy on industries, this would seem to be a key one. It is technologically based, the main competitor is tangled up in European politics and socialism, there are balance-of-trade opportunities, there are national security issues, etc. One would hope that union negotiations take place in the context of general agreements about how much of prosperity or difficulty the owners get (ROI) and how much the workers get (wages). Hopefully it is not totally tactical - like US Steel or Detroit in the 50s. Reply

    Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]
    I grew up in Flint Michigan and saw first hand how lazy ass auto workers and a currupt unions failed the workers, the city, the state and the country by not allowing new technologys to be used while making it almost impossible to fire workers who were not effecient. Taxes and unions drove jobs overseas and looks like we havent learned a thing.

    The Unions had better think twice about striking Boeing. They have all but killed the Auto industry in the past. The economy doesn't warrant jeopardizing your job with a layoff. Reply

    The petroleum data show much much bigger than expected draw downs, and next weeks data are yet to come. Add Hanna, IKE, and Josephine to the equation. Then you come up with a scenario in which oil and gas seem likely to rise. Reply

    Correction: The data from the shut ins and damage due to Hurricane Gustave will likely not appear until next week. The oil and gas companies did not really shut in until the very end of last week. The not as relevant petroleum data is due out today at 11am EST.

    The market is starting to go down seemingly based on more bad news form the banking sector. LEH is struggling with KDB. MER and AIG are having similar difficulties with their balance sheets. Reply

    Also oil and natural gas (especially) are used in the production of fertilizer products. With the prices relatively fixed for the rest of this year, POT et al should make better than expected profits in Q3 with cheaper manufacturing costs due to the recent energy commodities price slide. This will likely be tempered by some hedging on the part of the fertilizer makers. Reply

    POT is down about $3 on the day. The only possible explanation I can find is that the US Dollar is up relative to the Euro. Usually this tends to make oil prices go down. However, oil has been mostly holding steady this morning. Perhaps the market is looking to the future. Perhaps the market knows something about the pertoleum stocks that will be bad news for POT? Perhaps this is just a semi-manipulation before the petroleum stocks announcement? Perhaps POT's profits do much better when the US Dollar is low and other currences are higher. If profit is reported in US Dollars, this makes some sense. I still think an upward movement for the near term should be in the cards, especially with the market holding up reasonably well today. The non-mfg stats led one to think inflation might be tempering. That should have been good. Reply

    The petroleum stocks numbers are due out a little later this morning. They seem likely to drive oil to the upside also. Reply
