Profit from the Peak: An Enjoyable Read About Our Energy Problems
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?

Is It Time To Get Back Into Financial ETFs?
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.

TiVo Now Puts YouTube on Your Tube
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?
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)
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.

Why I Bought Financials (Despite the Mess)
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
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).

Nuclear Power's Second Coming Will Lead to a Uranium Boom
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.
