    is the stat correct, 3 out of 1000 homes in Q1 repossessed?
    that's 12 out of 1000 a year (1.2 per 100 per year). and since this is cumulative, over 5 years, that's 6 out of 100 or in layman's terms, 1.2 out of 20. holy sh^t !!!! that's pretty f'ing scary !!!     Reply

    The Ins and Outs of Terror-Free Investing [view article]
    Mr. Shaw

    Terror-free investing as a national policy might or might not work. The unilateral decisions of the US haven't worked out very well e are the best electronics designed and manufactured? Not in our clately, but lets put that aside.

    Who decides what is a terror state? Could China be on that list because of its policies in Tibet? What about Russia and the disappearance of its citizens? What about the US in Iraq and Afghanistan; aren't we terrorizing part of their populations? Is the decision made by someone stuck at a desk in the corner who's name and character are unknown? Maybe we could make it with decisions of congress?

    If everything goes OK, who moves in when we move out? The French, Russia, China? How about Venezuela? Maybe North Korea?
    Wouldn't it be a welcome change to see North Koreans helping out Pakistani Citizens with all their nuclear needs?

    The economic and political power of the US is dwindling as other countries of the world move toward the center stage. Where are the fastest grown economies? Which countries are graduating the most engineers, scientists, and business majors? Where are the best and newest examples of architecture? Not in our country.


    For terror free investing to work on a global scale would require the combined efforts of several independent nations. The US will need to find a new attitude of pragmatism and co-operation as its influence diminishes over the coming decades.

    However, everything else aside, the idea has merit. On an individual basis, or perhaps dedicated "terror free" fund, we could give it a try.

    Thanks for responding. The fact is that the article does not "slam" any company.
    The article simply reports on the actions of the government and the issues floating around among states and others to try to get a handle on this particular form of social investing that is also being driven in part by government actions.

    The article takes no position on any company and does not take a position on whether terror-free investing is a good or bad idea, helpful or hurtful for international outcomes, or suitable or unsuitable for any person. The article reports on the phenomenon and does not promote the matter one way or the other.

    You have misread the article and might look at it once again to see that no opinion is expressed about any company.

    If anything, the article suggests that the process might in fact create some undesirable to unjust outcomes in the implementation.

    You are certainly correct that SEC filings are historical and SEC reviews of filings take some time after the filing, so it is highly likely that the SEC will continue to list certain companies for a limited period of time as having operations that may have been discontinued.

    Sorry the article was upsetting to you, but your emotional reaction is misplaced. If you have concerns about how the SEC does its work, you might direct your concerns to them and not to those who report on the work of the SEC.

    Mr. Shaw,

    Maybe you should include that the SEC used a simplistic approach when creating this list! Reuters reported this on July 5th, but apparently you missed it:

    www.reuters.com/articl...

    BHI has had no operations in Sudan since 2005---but because that fact was mentioned in its 2006 annual report, it got included in the SEC's list. How many other companies will unnecessarily get slammed today because of your submission? Hmmmm!?

    The “Oil Weapon” is Unleashed Against Iran [view article]
    Good article…as a matter of investment interests, people should know the full story behind Russia’s oil production, especially with the political battle-taking place until the 2008 elections. I suggest you read this report on different oil companies in Russia and their potential future growth.

    The “Oil Weapon” is Unleashed Against Iran [view article]
    The Saudi moves to reduce the price of oil in order to put more financial pressure on the Teheran regime may, as Mr. Dorsch maintains, only be marginally successful, but the decline of Iran's oil infrastructure continues unabated. This is happening not just because the mullahs eschew western oil companies (and their technical know-how), but also because the government has created a negative feedback loop by mandating subsidized gasoline for domestic consumption thus eviserating any financial incentive to invest in maintaining or improving both E&P and refining operations in Iran with either private or public money. Iranian production is steadily declining, and as the government needs the oil export revenues to prop up their diseconomic policies, something has to give here.

    Iran's best chance is to strike a deal with someone to [a] rescue their dilapidated E&P and refining infrastructure and [b] extend protection against the USA. What are the prospects of such a regime-saving deal?

    The Russians are helping with nuclear technology - presumably hoping the USA will be goaded into attacking yet another Islamic country, thus weakening us still further - but don't need Iranian oil so they are not the answer. India wants the oil but is aligned with the USA. China wants the oil but has no practical way to get it -
    neither Pakistan nor Afghanistan would allow delivery overland if the USA nixed it and the USN could easily blockade Iranian maritime traffic. So as things stand, it probably doesn't pay for the Chinese to invest a lot in the Iranian oil infrastructure.

    So in assessing the likelihood of things getting hot in the Gulf - thus driving the price of oil back north - it really comes down to a question as to whether the Iranian regime's stubborn insistence on the primacy of religious principles over economic realities causes them to crash and burn domestically before they can develop nukes...or, more pragmatically, on the assessments of the US/Israeli intelligence services with respect to the outcome of this horse race. If the risk the nukes will win grows large enough, things could boil over in a hurry. Otherwise, the pot will likely just keep simmering until regime change in Iran throws a new ingrediant into the stew...at which point we will all need to reassess the menu.

    Iran's Oil Exports May Dry Up Without Foreign Help [view article]
    Iran's really running out of oil, just like they've always said. What the hell is the US trying to do? I don't blame them for igniting the insurgency. I'm almost willing to believe Iran isn't even making nuclear weapons. 3000 cylinders isn't a whole lot. Plus, they let inspectors in, as long as they are independent, meaning they won't pull the same crap that happened with US/Iraq. We really should get out of there and let Iran fix up Iraq, maybe to split it with Saudi Arabia. Reply

    My uderstanding is that Iran has some long term contracts (at lower prices) with China that prevents them from benefiting from past increases in oil prices. If thats the case Iran may not be suffering (anymore than they are already suffering) because of falling oil prices. Reply
