    ABP synbol has been changed to AXAS. I tried changing the symbol, but it doesn't recognize the new symbol. I enjoy reading Alpha Stock Alerts. Thank you. Reply

    As an aside, Obama says he could carry Montana in the upcoming election. This is the state which recently adopted a Resolution in their Legislature stating they would leave the Union if the Supeme Court upheld the DC gun law. (They could, by the way, it was in their contract when they joined up.)

    So Obama hasn't a chance in Montana. But look at NH, which still boasts "Live Free or Die" on their license plates, and Nevada, where gambling and gold mining are their major industries. Obama is running even in these states, and could easily carry either or both of them in November.

    So, the nation's getting Bluer and Bluer. Makes me Blue, too!!

    Schumpeter said it a little differently. He called "profit a penalty." But it's the same thing. Friedman saw this and tried to help us with his "Free to Choose." But none of this stuck, unfortunately. Reply

    Ah, the VERY NATURE of a republic, if you will. de Toqueville wrote famously, 150 years ago, that the American experiment would thrive until we discovered we could vote ourselves "the proceeds of our Treasury." God bless us, we're here! Reply

    Unfortunately, with the exception of Reagan, we've never seen the Congress REPEAL any of these excesses. And that creates REAL PROBLEMS as time goes on. Occasionally the Supremes step in, but that's a limited solution at best, and a two-edged sword. Reply

    NEXT time??? That's a major conceptual error of many "thinking" minds. Always recoverable positions. That's what Adam and Eve thought. Reply

    And in a sense, they still do............ the WHEN has become a variable of choice ....... delayed gratification ......... putting off the inevitable ........ mananna ........ but, evenually the piper gets paid ... pay me now or pay me later ..... later is the preferred choice, today: well engrained!

    Here in the U.S., we seem to wax and wane. We went from FDR (necessitated by the times, possibly) to a more free market oriented Truman and JFK, to a pro-government Nixon and Carter, to an individualist Reagan, to the Bushes and Clinton, who weren't sure what they were. Now we find ourselves at a time when ALL major candidates we've selected have decidedly Socialist views. Maybe when we're done with this, we'll do better next time. Reply

    Capitalism implies the ability to FAIL. Indeed, along with the opportunity for individual success, it's at the HEART of it. Without ONE, you can't have the OTHER, I don't believe.

    As societies mature, they lose their economic zeal. A natural occurrence, perhaps. Look at Europe versus the BRIC countries, and you'll see exactly what I mean.

    NJB,

    Sorry, didn't mean to. They buttress the point EXACTLY. They also support the notion our country is entering another FDR era already. What do you think?

    paulk - you seem to have neatly omitted the hedge/derivatives/wall street, housing, banking bailouts (Citi, Freddie, Indymac and the rest to come); you know, those where responsible folks are NOT and then want the rest of us (via UNCLE) to cover their irrresponsibility losses....

    Billp,

    I read the article by David Hughes you referred to. As simply another "inconvenient truth," he conveniently OMITS mentioning the Barnett, Marcellus and Haynesville gas finds, the THREE LARGEST in our nation's history. PLEASE, wake up, man! If you don't, I can assure you the Greens have a plan for you, and you won't like it!

    This is what we get in return for the tens of billions we've spent on Hurricane Katrina (...I live there), the farm bill, the economic stimulus package, the coming bailout of the auto and airline industries, and nationalized health care. All we had to do was give up our FREE WILL in exchange for the government running our lives. A true Faustian Bargain, if you will. Reply

    And that's the real reason the D's (and R's!) in Congress don't want the Pickens Plan to succeed. We would no longer be dependent on them to tell us what to do! Reply
