    Can't believe Gordon Brown's going to Washington tomorrow in order to perform last rites on the world financial system. More likely a Rose Garden photo op. Something will be cobbled together for sure, and equally certain is a perfectly choreographed rally. But while the media fixates on equities, the real story will be playing out in the interbank 'market'; that's where to look for an answer to whether Paulson's silver bullet really glistens or is just another blank. Personally......I've no idea at all. Reply

    RGR, you bought PVX at 8.93...great buy.

    The ex date is the best time to put in an under market bid on the CanRoys, the div. players get out to get in on the next div. which is sometimes the next day.

    Offshore Drilling Ban Lifted: Oil Stocks to Fall? [view article]
    No offense, but the Congress isn't PASSING any law at all that will allow for additional oil and gas exploration in the OCS. Rather, it's simply OMITTING this 27 year old annual moratorium prohibiting such exploration and production from its continuing budget resolution.

    But before you run out and look for $2 gas at the pump anytime soon, consider this. If we elect a Democrat president in November, he will most certainly reinstitute the executive order reinstating the OCS moratorium as one of his first official acts.

    In fact, if you look at a map of U.S. natural gas reserves, the damn stuff is just about EVERYWHERE under our feet. But how could that be possible if the Peak Oilers were right? Reply

    In case you still don't get it, try this.

    In 1976, Jimmy Carter said we were running out of natural gas. He went so far as to actually ban its use in barbecue grills!

    Now it seems like every time we turn a shovel in the U.S., we find another mother lode of NG. We're up to a 118 year supply of proven recoverable reserves and counting.

    But perhaps that's just a coincidence. Right!

    About where Dr. Friedman thought it should be priced.

    In case you haven't figured this out yet, all these Peak Oilers are raking in hundreds of billions of dollars a year as a direct result of their dire warnings and predictions.

    Talk about a conflict of interest! You think?

    Yes, and internationally renowned astrophysisist Thomas Gold agrees. He believes oil isn't a fossil fuel at all, but occurs naturally in the mantle of our planet.

    While this may seem like a fantastic claim, let's think for a minute about who benefits from the UNPROVEN theory of Peak Oil. How about Big Oil, OPEC, Russia, oil speculators, Al Gore and other environmental extremists?

    And who loses? Let's see, that list includes every American who consumes this product that is essential to our way of life. If Gold is right, and there truly is 100X (wow!) the oil in the earth the Peak Oilers assert there is, what would that make it worth?

    Brad:
    Good job. The EIA analysts are not the only analysts off-base when it comes to oil companies estimates. Wall St. analysts are wringing their hands and moaning about how energy earnings estimates need to come down to reflect the recent drop in crude. Excuse me? Did the analysts actually rewrite all their estimates to reflect $147 oil in July. Boy, if they did they are a lot dumber than I thought. You can't change estimates based on a temporary "peak" in crude prices. It's just plain stupid. Analyst earnings estimates are becoming a
    con game" where they just keep moving the "goal post" until the kick is long enough. Witness the recent downward revisions in Financials. Sure, make them as low as possible and then when they beat the number you get everyone to jump back into buying them.
    I could not agree more with the German Finance Minister who said yesterday that Wall St. has morphed into a Vegas-style "casino capital" market. Manipulated, distorted, and not transparent. No wonder all the capital is moving to Asia. These fiancial whores have gotten exactly what they deserved. Good riddance!

    Brian, if you had added Milton Friedman to that collection of know- nothings in your comment, you would have the beginning of a crank colony. After all, Milton thought that OPEC would go bust and the price of oil would decline to $5/b. Really, the future of bloggese is pretty dim if you have to call on the likes of Julian Simon for wisdom.

    edward orton - what qualifications does he have to make this statement ?

    At least as much qualification as Al Gore has to say that the world will end in just a few years unless we (except himself and other uber Liberals of course) abandon fossil fuel consumption.
