    Stive, is your site attempting to have me download a virus?

    I think a lot of the fast money is moving out of oil and natural gas related investments, but the fundamentals still exist for high prices in the long run, even with a global recession, conservation and alternative energy.

    Hedge Fund Tracking: Tontine Partners [view article]
    valueinvestor123- I would much rather have someone post relevant facts instead of their opinion with no backing. If you post as you do without any backing to your statement, no one listens and no one wants to hear it anyway. You say Gendell concentrates on financials and this is why he holds so many banks. This point is stupid because his top holdings have nothing to do with banking or the financial sector. they're all steel except for one at number 4(also not a financial). So your original thought is really just erroneous babble that could actually cause some investor to make a bad decision. Which there is way too much of to try and read through when researching. Thanks Market Folly for the willingness to find this info and compile it and post it WITH some of your original thoughts on the relevant facts you write of. Reply

    According to a segment on CNBC just now, Tontine is down 66% YTD. Looks like some type of big bet really hit hard. Reply

    User 238404 - could not agree more. I am a holder of Transocean (RIG), and in reading their financials, the only difference that the price of oil makes is a little less gravy on top of their record earnings. Some of their contracts are a fixed daily rate AND a premium on oil being over $80.00 a barrel. Some of those contracts were entered into in 2007 and will be effective until 2010 and beyond. So, until I see oil hit 80.00 I am not even going to blink. T Boone is no idiot, and has been through many recessions at his age. Nor are people in developing countries or the US going to stop driving any time soon. They can't afford an expensive hybrid, and will most likely continue to use their own car they have. Would you enter in to a new car loan in this environment, even if you could get a loan? Think it through, and then ask yourself, would you rather be in oil, cash, or retail in the long run? Reply

    Schlumberger (SLB) and Halliburton (HAL) operate worldwide and have fallen along with the price of oil, as if investors think demand and drilling will slow down significantly. But demand will continue to be strong for both oil and natural gas, and the drillers will have strong results. They don't need $145 oil, or even $100 oil to do well. Reply

    The smart money is shorting everything in sight.Driving prices into the ground with the media acting as a catalyst.Things aren't as bad as the media purports.Eventually the shorts will have to cover but probably not until most small investors capitulate.My account has been reduced to about 25% of what I started with and that may be gone soon if the ignoramuses on Capitol hilldon't get it together.

    guess what ...the other countries like china and russia are laughing and loving the fact that we are just waiting for them to start buying our products in order to ressurect our economy...these markets are getting nuked and our government does nothing. this election and the politics associated are clouding any objective judgement these lousy polotitions have left...they blame wall street but there are plenty of people nation wide stupid enough to sign up for mortgages they could never ever afford... this is a main street problem as much as a wall street problem.

    You can't have an economy without energy...but you have seen the divergence between the price of the commodity and the value of energy
    stocks...so an energy company is dependent upon the economy ...
    the whole set up is a snake swallowing its tale...Still I think come
    winter...oil will go up...will we make any money with it??? That's the
    $64,000 question.

    The gloom and doom we are hearing is the worst I've heard for decades. Looking at my stocks, none have cut their dividends, several have raised them. Market gurus including Cramer are saying sell. People are taking their money out of money market funds and putting it under the mattress. It feels like a major technical bottom so I'll hold and put new money into stocks, especially beaten up REITs. Reply

    We've been tracking PNM natural gas and electric integrated resource planning for over year.

    We learned that that there is speculation based on collected data that fossil fuel production may have peaked many places.

    Conventional natural gas production peaked in 2001 according to EIA.

    We learned that twice as many natural gas wells are required to maintain the falling conventional natural gas production. Future hope is for nonconventional natural gas production, we learned.

    PNM senior economic analyst Steve Martin, modeling and forcasting, showed a foil titled Peak Demand

    home.comcast.net/~bpayne37/pnmelectric...

    which identified New Construction as a primary source of electric load increase.

    Limit new construction for energy reasons would likely cause a recession - if not a massive depression!

    Let's see what happens to the price of oil, natural gas, and electricity by next June.

    "PNM Wants 18% Hike - Jump Is on Top Of June Increase" the Albuquerque Journal reported on September 23, 2008.

    As retirees we're into CDs, not commodity speculation. But it is fun to watch T Boone's natural gas and wind efforts ... and see how his funds do.

    We are of the opinion that some of these markets may be rigged.

    Those doing the rigging make lots of money. Others lose. Even Pickens.

    Remember the Amaranth natural gas negative spike to about $4.

    What caused this negative spike? Market manipulation?

    I think BP will be fine. Let's revisit this at the end of December and I suspect T. Boone will be up. Oil will not stay down, it just can't. Reply

    All paper investments such as money market, money in the bank, stocks, bonds, pension plans, and even gold are only valuable if there is abundant oil. That black stinky stuff is the source of all wealth. Chris Shaw says it best: "Would you think me a jester if I said that the one true currency is energy? It always was and always will be. Economics is the game of Tiddlywinks that we can afford to play only in the midst of easy, abundant energy. Energy is the donut, economics is the hole." www.onlineopinion.com....
    And read his other articles too, this man knows some stuff!
    This means that Pickens won;t be worth a dime unless he puts some of those investments that will yield some real food in the future. I know some stuff too, and did some hard research, and it is all free for the pickins :), if you catch my drift. Hey Pickens and you-all, give me a call and I'll try to give you some advice. 603-668-4207 www.peakoilassociates....
