      Thank China and Gustav for Lower Oil
      If things are so fair and no manipulation , why was there a special private session on sunday so insiders could trade commodities . If that doesn't smell bad to you then your a failure at your job .

      Of Wars and Strategic Metals
      My thoughts exactly .Since when does WYMEX (or whatever its called ) open up a special trading day on sunday ,so insiders can buy or sell oil or other commodities . This STINKS to HIGH HEAVEN . I smell big time corruption and manipulation of energy and commodity prices .The same thing with the big bankers on wall street getting bailed out over the little guy . The only hope is for the average guy like me and others to do exactly what you say , take control of our investments and invest in fundamentals . Right now the market is topsy turvy because of manipulation .

      Megaprojects Predict Decline of Oil Production
      Although tortuous ,its a very good article .The only thing I believe you seemed to leave out was or is the cost of drilling oil in diminishing returns . Another words the huge amounts of water and technology needed to bring oil out of the ground once you reach peak capacity . This is really quite simple to me . Once you need to pump water into oil holes in order to bring oil to market , by definition should be peak oil . Simnce 90 % of wells producing oil today require water to produce oil , this alone strongly suggest we're at or past peak oil . Those who completely disregard peak oil do so on the assumption that the Saudi's can produce oil at will , which your article completely bebunks .Unfortunately we are overwhlemed with "knuckleheads " who think we have un-limited oil and therefore nothing will get done until its too late .

      What Happened to Peak Oil?
      With all due respect to author and others the problem is actually quite simple . Oil is still the cheapest energy we have (besides coal ) ,which means that alternative sources of energy won't enter the main stream until the price of oil becomes much higher making it economical to use alternatives . However even though oil is cheap on a relative basis , we should still build out alternatives such as nuclear in preperation for the day when oil does reach 200 dollars which is not far off if we continue on the current course . The biggest problem is there are too many people who think that there is limitless oil and that the price of oil will return to 30 dollars a barrell . This thinking is incompatible with developing alternative fuel sources as it would not be economical .Therefore I predict not much will be done until we are past crisis stage ,which of course is too late .

      Energy's Loss Is the Financials' Gain
      I hate to keep saying these people are idiots ,but its the only way to describe the author . The financials are losing billions and the energy companies are making billions . What the hell does estimates have to do with anything .

      False Data Clobbers the Markets
      The fact that this guy is short oil and at the same time he says we're going to have alternative energy any day is "DUMB" . There WILL NOT be alternative forms of energy as long as oil is cheap . This guy predicted we had so much oil , the price would come down to 30 dollars .If thats true (its not ) then you can forget other forms of energy . Anybody who buys this guys lunacy is also luny .

      Natural Gas Is Oversold, and We Are Buying
      The idea in investing is to buy low (when evryone else is selling ) and sell high ( when everyone else is buying ).Smart strategy .

      Let's Not Emulate the Hoover Administration
      I agree with DOUGNHI .I think his argument ,if I understand correctly , is right on .To me the bailouts only support those who made bad decisions and will make speculators and criminals rich . Proof : How in the world can people currently buy stock in Fannie and Freddie ,as well as some other financials ,unless they are counting on the gov to bail these entities out so they can make a fortune . We need to stop the bailing out and use the money instead to rebuild the US infrastructure ,including alternative sources of energy , which should provide jobs and allow america to grow out of its mess (of course less taxes would help ).

      Looming Financial Catastrophe: A Real Inconvenient Truth
      User 249 Good point . As far as drilling ,the main reason for doing this is to get rid of our dependence on getting oil from countries who do not like us , not to mention sending them billions of dollars creating more debt . Why people can not comprehend this is profoundly stupid .

      Looming Financial Catastrophe: A Real Inconvenient Truth
      Very good article with many truths . However I disagree with what sounds like your recommending that we get ride of older more experienced people and hand the future over to younger less experienced people. Secondly you appear to blame all our problems on G bush not mentioning a single democrat or even using the word democrat .If your approach is to blame all our problems on G Bush ,then throw away your article because there is no solution in site .Again I think it is a very good article but blaming the military and military spending is short sighted . There's a war gong on , like it or not . If you want to deny that ,so-be-it .Then dismantle the military and see what happens .I think it will result in disaster .Your right about the poor educatonal system , but its not because of rich people not paying enough taxes its about out-of-control unions . Who have destroyed most of what used to be the foundation of america .The unions have destroyed our schools , the steel industry , the auto industry ,the airlines and their now working on bringing down companies like walmart and the oil companies . The Ins co and the lawyers have destroyed healthcare and now working on the pharmaceuticals .Its simple ,america is at war with itself over power and money . Both side ,Rep and Dem or anyone who has enough money to get in the game . But the biggest mistake in your article is blaming the politicians . They would not be there if it is wasn't for the people who put them there . So americans need to stop Whinning and stop putting corrupt politicians in office and take back their country .This won't happen because as long as their local representative brings home the bacon , nothing will change .The current congress spent billions bailing out the rich because the american people demanded it .I don't forsee any change until the american train rides off the cliff .The reason : MONEY AMERICA IS ALL ABOUT MONEY , NOT HONESTY OR INTEGRITY BUT MONEY AND POWER AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT THEMSELVES .

      Geologist: In Terms of Supply and Demand, the Oil Peak Is Past
      Good article .Those who think that this is BS are living in fantasy land or need some serious medication . All this talk about alternative energy is great except , right now oil is the cheapest energy source we have . THERE WILL NOT BE ALTERNATIVE SOURCES UNTIL IT BECOMES ECONOMICAL ,another words oil becoming much more expensive .
