But, Jackson makes good points: the consumer is still dead, and cash advances on credit cards are slim. China's government limiting visits to once a month hurts as well.]]>

Ethanol Is Dead: How You Can Still Profit From It http://seekingalpha.com/article/83094-ethanol-is-dead-how-you-can-still-profit-from-it?source=feed#comment-195059 195059 So, short ethanol stocks all the way to zero? How stupid! 18-22 states politically, will not allow media hype rants to overturn the momentum. Corn based ethanol plants can be converted to sugar. Where do we get the sugar cane? Brazil?
If oil goes to $200 soon, ethanol, with all its detractors, will be more efficient to run E-85 because oil will be pricing itself at $6.00-7.00/gallon and ethanol at $4.00, even at $8.00 corn, is a better buy!
Ethanol never was a "be-all end-all" game changer. But I like the notion of 25% of our energy consumption being paid to farmers and others in the US rather than to the Middle East and other rogue nations like Chavez, et al....60% of our trade deficit is now oil! Congress needs to wake up and smell the coffee!]]>
