    She was holed up for 5 days with the best of the Republican speechwriters. Wall Street has to wake up to the fact that she will be our biggest nightmare because once in power - she will be unpredictable (especially if she is truly a Believer and true to her faith first) and Wall Street really wants someone who will tow that party line. Wake up. There's a Bacon's Rebellion out there waiting to happen and deservedly so. Reply

    The choice for America could not be more clear! This isn't a video game folks. Reject the party of "real reform" at your peril, and risk of your personal wealth and safety........... Reply

    Oh please. Smart investors gave up on Wall Street long ago. Whoever wins will be the Greater Depression president or the hyper-inflation president. Reply

    Not a politcal forum here, (but Obama bin Biden is toast from what I've seen so far.) And yes, I've been shorting oil too since mid July. Don't know about $30 (hoping for it though), but certianly appears to be heading below $100. Reply

    Oil going to $30? What world are you living in? I think you need to crack open a basic economics book and start studying the fundamental rules of supply and demand. Take a look at China and India. Reply

    The reason that Alaska has to go to such heroics to get the pipeline done is because Palin passed a windfall profits tax and now when oil is $100 , $75 goes to taxes. What company would invest in a pipeline when the profits from it will go to the state.

    By the way, did you know that she is the most popular governor in because she took the money from the windfall profits tax (and the money from the "bridge to nowhere" which wasn't returned to the Federal Government") and was distributed to the residents of Alaska. Every man, woman and child got a check for $1,200.

    So, when you go to the gas pump and pay a fortune for gas remember that some of that price is going to Alaskan residents in a direct transfer payment.

    By the way, the pols of Venezuala, Iran and Russia are popular as well and for the same reason...they take money from Americans and give it to their citizens.

    Spoken like a true Republican. This is not neutral, Jason, and it is not meaningful or relevant to the markets. Reply

    There will be a rise in beef but not for the reasons you cite. It is because of an early cull a few months ago in response to high corn/feed prices, their inventories are now extremely low and will put upward pressure on beef prices this fall. In fact, given the pullback in feed prices, the 4th quarter may be a banner period for the beef producers if costs trend lower. Reply

    Wall Street's Candidate ;-) If this snippet ever gets out, it will probably damn her vice presidential chances ! Nothing wrong with it in principle, but it would almost behoove the O'Bama campaign to use it as negative sound bite. Reply

    I profiled several wholesale food distributors(like SYY) and dining establishments (like BOBE) and they all were unable to hike the price past the ceiling already in place. If they raise prices further to pass on costs, they're going to lose revenue and if they don't raise, then they're going to lose revenue anyway. Catch-22 Reply

    Market Participation: 'Fools Jump In' [view article]
    Oh yeah...rising dollar. Is that a bad thing? How much the US export and how much US import? Doesn't that means that the buying power of the people will increase, therefore they will have some more money to spend for something else. Doesn't the stronger dollar make the commodities cheaper? What about your tank full with gasoline? Multiply by the number of drivers? How much money will remain un-spent for gasoline ( and the example is just simple, the real effect is much more broader ) and would be spent for something else, boosting the economy? Do cheaper commodities mean increased companies profit? Reply

    Thank you to the manipulators for pushing the paper prices of precious metals low again, while M3 and related inflation of fiat currencies soar. This has enabled me to continue filling my gun cabinet with real money - physical silver and gold. Reply
