    Sarah Palin: Wall Street's Candidate [view article]
    We're getting socialism whomever wins. The big difference is that Obama/Biden will give the American consumer a chance of recovery while McCain/Palin will only bail out the criminal bankers whose reckless creation of unregulated CDOs has brought the credit crunch. If you want honest money, your candidate is Ron Paul. Reply

    Mr. Borenstein:

    "It is the sellers (shorts) that had gotten away with impunity by disseminating the rumors or distorting the existing status quo."

    Would that be rumours like the one about a rescue for LEH? Sounds worthy of an investigation.

    "Since the financials were "punished " the most, they do offer a significant relative investment value."

    I simply cannot see how most banks can be meaningfully valued at the moment. Care to share your formula?     Reply

    Time to Get Back Into Oil? [view article]
    I like T.Boone, but his 'aw shucks' demeanor hides a very canny businessman. As noted above, he **is selling something**...

    Haha, always the RNC stooges come onto these sites and start their mindless hate-filled rants about Obama being "Marxist-Socialis... ad nauseam, despicable cowards that they are, following the principles of Karl Rove and the pre-war Nazi propagandists.

    Actually, Obama's a constitutional law scholar among other things... I would suggest that this fact is what REALLY terrifies the republikaaners the most... he may stand up for peoples' constitutional rights which the republikaans trampled into the ground in their quest to turn America into a police state.

    Too funny.

    Markets are too funny too... looks like they're terrified George and the hockey mom will get a chance to out dumb dumbya.     Reply

    Conflicting Oil Price Drivers Confuse Investors [view article]
    I agree with James' points and Sigi's as well. Another factor is natural gas and the surprising popularity of the Pickens Plan. It gas caused a sea-change shift in the potential for natural gas prices and has hurt the investment popularity of oil...but I think this is all temporary and that supply in both forms of energy will be challenged soon.

    The republicans need better ideas for the economy than lower taxes. That theory doesn't really work and we are just going to go more into debt as a nation. This hands off approach to the economy has not been working.

    There needs to be balance into the economy between supply and demand, instead of this supply side nonsense.     Reply

    Theoretical Declines of a Bursting Oil Bubble [view article]
    This scientist/businessman/... beautifully explains and illustrates why oil is not a "bubble" in the sense that people like to compare and lump it into things like the tech/housing bubble. It's the best single essay I've read that ties everything together: the economy, population, and energy:

    His Crash course is also well done and covers everything in more detail.     Reply

    Why Commodities May Be Nearing a Turning Point [view article]
    The levels of negative sentiment and the negative real returns on money should help to create a tipping point, a sort of "equal and opposite reaction". My 35 years of investing experience teaches me that whenever commodities or any investment is suppressed and held down for too long there is at some given moment a strong upside reaction that will surprise many. The amazing thing is how long and how far "they" can drive prices down and create the "capitulation selling" that sets the stage for the best buying opportunities. Reply

    Kind of fluffing up your numbers, aren't you rightie? Egypt Air 990? I'm surprised you didn't include Oklahoma City.

    I guess you don't want to hear about the 3,668 American troops killed in Iraq since 2004, right?     Reply

    If a pole is run today Wall Street is probably more disliked than politicians. Wall Street is costing the U.S. Taxpayers Billions and Billions of Dollars. Get It! What do they get for it? Highways, Ports, New Factories, general infrastructure. No they get none of those things. Just a larger national debt for their grandchildren to try to pay off! Reply

    The author is of course 100% correct. This is just one more battle in the epic struggle between capitalism and socialism, and Mrs. Palin appears to be in the camp of capitalism. It's as simple as that. Reply

    Why Commodities May Be Nearing a Turning Point [view article]
    Here is an alternative thesis supporting the view that we may be nearing a turning point in commodity prices.

    China is concerned about inflation and the rising cost of raw materials for its growing economy. They have stated publicly they will not slow down economic growth and they have stated publicly they intend to control inflation. Further, they have expressed the view that high crude oil costs are partly a function of excessive speculation as well as supply and demand. Some analysts have expressed opinions that China may use the cover of the Olympics to implement a plan to stockpile raw materials and then abruptly stop buying both raw materials and shipping until they break the speculative froth in the commodity markets. It would be helpful if the dollar was gaining strength at the same time, which just so happens to be the case. We also know that proposals to reinforce the margin and reporting rules of the commodity futures markets could be introduced on September 15th and this could get the downward momentum really moving in crude oil and other commodity futures.

    If this is indeed the plan then all they now need to do is wait a few weeks longer before restarting to crank up the Chinese economy. By then the impatient Westerners will have thrown in the towel and sold all of their speculative commodity plays, especially those large pension plans that have been long the commodity future indexes.

    Preposterous you say, governments don’t get involved in market economics. My reply would be that China is a centrally planned economy and they could very well have implemented such as plan. From the organizers and managers of the Olympics that pulled off spectacular displays and crushed all political dissent, I say they could pull this off as well.

    Alaska gets more $1.87 for every dollar of Federal taxes it pays -- more than any other state. Basically, Palin has been presiding over the largest welfare state in the U.S., and this somehow makes her conservative.

    Some have said that it's okay for Alaska to be a welfare state, because of the oil they provide. I disagree. Either you're conservative or not. Palin is not. Those who support Palin are not.

    End Republican-backed welfare.

    www.taxfoundation.org/... (note that it's not just Alaska -- the more likely a state is to vote Republican, the more likely they are to be taking in more Federal tax dollars than they pay. Real conservative.)     Reply
