    I think you are correct. Nothing has changed except we have some promises, from government. Not bankable, so we watch and wait. The over looked consumer has every reason to be suspicious, after all he just got measurably poorer, more overlooked, and he knows that the sweat over the banks is just a twice told tale with an ending not much different than the prior bank riots. we have right to some time to see of the dust will settle and who is left standing.

    I especially like the long term gas storage graph. It has illuminated my day and told me exactly what I need to know. Not! Reply

    Is There a Bounce Opportunity in the Energy Sector? [view article]
    Why do the dimwitted Republicans think Obama and the Dems are going to tax the Oil companies to death..give me a break...What they will do is remove the give away tax the Bushie Boy insisted they have in 2005 'for developing alternative' fuels/sources of energy - that THEY HAVEN"T DONE...The oil companies make reasonable normal profits, based on returns on sales, but they just rake in so much money based on volume but it seems obscene.

    Next day, (Thursday) FXP is down $35 to $108

    So how will proposed rules on short selling affect FXI and IYR?

    Should I stop using Proshares anyone?

    Insiders See Value in Slippery Oil Patch [view article]
    If NOV hits 35, I'd be very surprised. But then again, I was surprised to see it drop below 50.

    I like stocks that have strong fundamentals, good management, monopolize their space, earn money, and have visibility. NOV fits the bill. It's a good investment and, when the market volatility is replace with some semblance of sanity, it should move dramatically higher.

    Demand for oil may slacken, but it's still going to take more rigs to satisfy that demand. Oil at 95 dollars a barrel isn't cheap, so I do not expect that NOV will have to go to the government, hat in hand.

    It's a quality company.

    Capitulation came today but not in the markets. In DC the politicians are ready to go into recess early. "We don't know what to do" Reid said..

    Maybe they should show some leadership skills, stay in secession and come up with some ideas.

    While it hurts to hold RIG and NOV and see such a drop,with their excellent fundamentals,the only question, as you are discussing, is when to average down.Nobody knows the bottom when shares are being dumped across the board as these hedge funds liquidate,but there is nothing wrong with nibbling away over time.

    No matter what happens to the price of oil over the next year or so, these companies have long term contracts, many made when oil was high, at nice rates. Those contracts will hold,because one day, maybe in a year,demand will catch up.The oil companies take a longer view of drilling and exploration, and all indicators are that drilling worldwide will increase.

    The reality is that it is going to be a long time before the majority of our transportation needs will be met by non-fossil fuel vehicles. Even with improvements in gas mileage, there are going to be many more vehicles on the roads of India and China.

    I have been enjoying this post since March. The comments seem to fit into my way of seeing the world, very refreshing. Enough of the intro, I'll cut to the chase.. I'll ask three questions

    You brought up a very interesting "incident" with CNY. It dropped from about 36 to 30 in one hour with no movement on the Yuan. Is this the result of some derivatives gone bad or one of the financial backers choking on its own black hole?

    One of the money market funds is now at 97 cents. Is this more derivatives going down a hole... With so much cash in money market funds, do you think they are at risk?

    TIP is slowly going down hill. I bought some in Feb at 107 and have been pleasantly surprised with the yield. In seven months of monthly dividends, the annual yield is at 7.78%. Not bad for AAA gov bonds. Maybe somewhere in the government data banks, there is a real number on inflation?

    Agreed. A lot of these stocks are selling at P/Es or 5-10. And although crack spreads are down they're still positive and oil is still up compared to a year ago. What, do they think now that people can live without energy? The biggest negative for these stocks is Obama and the Dems and all their plans to bleed the energy companies with higher taxes. Reply
