      Profit from the Peak: An Enjoyable Read About Our Energy Problems
      I've recently learned about the biological vs. abiogenic debate (after wondering about similar arguments I've read). It is without question that the majority of geologists and scientists reject the abiogenic theory. So, my questions to anyone who makes a lot of clamor about the existence of virtually unlimited abiogenic oil:

      1) When will this start having a major impact on what most of us see as a limited world oil supply? 10 years? 100 years? Ever?
      2) What do you hope to gain by constantly challenging the majority view? Seems like you statements just cause a lot of arguing rather than producing any productive results.
      3) How are you specifically attempting to capitalize on your minority viewpoint?

      Jimmy. did you actually read both articles, or just the titles?

      Either you or I must be taking crazy pills, because I see no contradictions between the authors articles -- neither advises putting money in financials at this time.

      Historic Financial Collapse Underway?
      Very interesting article. One thing I wonder about is how you (and others) think high mortgage rates and very low housing prices are such a good thing (makes housing affordable). But there's no mention of the problems this would cause. If the value of most people's homes fall far below what they owe on them, we will see people walk away from them at a scale that makes today's foreclosure rate look like nothing. You think that won't be it's own catastrophe? You're gonna have to explain to me how this could possibly be a good thing, rather than just seeing the "affordable housing" side of that equation.

      TiVo Now Puts YouTube on Your Tube
      "It's free to all customers who have a "TiVo HD" or "Series 3" TiVo, or it has to be networked to the Internet."

      I think you mean "AND it has to be networked to the internet."

      While I think TiVo is a nice feature to add, I believe it's too minor to make a material difference in TiVo's position in the marketplace, and isn't very relevant to investors.

      Are Short Sales Shorting the Real Estate Market?
      Okay, I guess I'm dense. How would high interest rates help our situation?

      With 8% interest rates, there would be less people out there buying homes, because now they would cost more (including the interest). So, unlike now, where there are too many homes and not enough buyers, there would be too many home and even less buyers. This would cause more homes to foreclose, worsening the housing market, and worsening the credit crisis that has brought down a few major companies already. Plus, someone who simply wants to sell their house and buy one in another area would be discouraged, because they would be able to afford less house due to higher interest payment.

      I may not know as much as you guys do, but the very basic stuff I do know tells me that higher interest rates would do more damage than good.

      Why I Bought Financials (Despite the Mess)
      Huh? The rising tide lifted the financial???

      Yesterday's "oversold bounce" (as you call it) was driven by financials! In fact, every market summary I've read about yesterday's broad market gains credits the banking sector for lifting the market, not the other way around. So it's hard for me to pay attention to the rest of your post (correct or not) when the first sentence is the exact opposite of what actually happened.

      An interesting point on financials is that, after this crisis is over, they won't be able to make money as they have been the past 10 years -- no more crazy derivative products or easy originating of mortgages.

      "Buy strength on dips not weakness-"?
      Wow, so if I do this, will I get rich? How do I do that?

      Even if financials still have a way to fall (as my gut tells me they do), anything close to dollar-cost-averaging into this very discounted market makes long term INVESTING sense (perhaps the bashers are all short-term traders, or think they can call the bottom). I'm amazed how many of you think you are so much smarter than Benjamin Graham. I also wonder how many of you would have been smart enough to say not to buy financials a year ago, when they were triple the price?

      Semi-Upbeat Housing News
      While I know nothing about LV, here in Southern California, I have no confidence the market has begun to recover, and I think ongoing foreclosures will continue to add to the supply of houses on the market. On top of that, the weak economy and tighter lending standards are keeping buyers out of the market. I don't see house prices rebounding soon.

      Hey GEARED, I read your article. You do mention you wouldn't try to catch a falling knife, but then you say you would buy a home or stock today if you planned on keeping it for 20 years. So, is your advice don't try to catch a falling knife unless you have 20 years to heal, then you should go for it? I'm not sure I understand your logic when it comes to the stock market.

      And to everyone who says "don't try to catch a falling knife," is your advice to look for what appears to be a clear recovery before you buy (which seems much easier in housing the equities, in my opinion).

      The Long Case for Canadian Oil Sands Trust
      Energy expert Charlie Maxwell said several years ago that the tar sands would be a great long term (like 20 years) investment. I decided to add COSWF.PK to my portfolio as a very long term play, only to be rewarded with over 100% profits already.

      Nuclear Power's Second Coming Will Lead to a Uranium Boom
      Firs of all, I'm not saying I'm anit-nuke, but as someone who had a friend who was an inspector at at a nuclear power plant, let's just say things go bad a lot more often then is made public. All the motivation is to hide minor accidents, near catastrophes, etc.. The main problem, according to my friend, was using substandard replacement parts due to greed (kickbacks, etc.), and this is why problems often occurred, and where I fear might continue to occur in the future (even the best designed plants won't function right if someone decides to save a few bucks and use a few substandard parts).

      For the time being, plants in the U.S. are currently storing their spent rods in cooling pools within the nuclear facilities. These pools were never designed to store so many rods, meaning the pools need to be actively cooled with fervor in order to prevent a meltdown. This is just the cooling pools, not the reactor themselves! Something goes wrong just with the active cooling, and we have a problem (even after the plants no longer produce electricity). Can anyone really say if storing the radioactive waste in mines is going to harm all living things in the future? Are the risks worth taking? I just want people to be aware that nuclear has more risks than people seem to be aware of. Perhaps it is still the right way to go, but no one can make a good decision without knowing as much info as possible.

      Am I missing something? I'm not sure why you guys are bashing this article -- the author's point makes sense to me, however your points don't really seem to be saying much. If anyone actually has a meaningful reason to dispute the author's point, that would be appreciated.
