What Really Caused Oil to Boom?

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 21:11:02 -0400

Speculation or supply and demand is secondary to the fact that the average American still has to deal with the bubble. However likely we will see a return to $4 per gallon gas, will consumers be better prepared next time around?

Oil Stocks: Where Can You Find Black Gold?

Stabilization of crude? Why not then your salary? Or the size of your car, house etc etc. Let free markets decide. Of course since OPEC is a cartel, our crude markets are not free. Perhaps we should figure out a way to break up the cartel. Why do you never hear talk about that?

New Nuclear Plants Not Viable Without Government Support

Recall the old 70's adage; more people died in the back seat of Ted Kennedy's car than from Nuclear Energy. Nasty I'll admit but I do not see where we have a choice but to go Nuke. In Pa,electric rates will rise 40-80% by 2011. Perhaps you'll take a second look once you energy bills double, triple....

In doing some research on BA strike, I found extensive reporting on a Socialist Workers site. I can only hope this accelerates use of robotics and plant operations in non-union states.

'D' Is For Dreadful Dreary Deflation

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 09:10:26 -0400

I'll admitt I am a bit of a nimrod when it comes to economics. Please explain how lower interest, housing and energy costs are bad for households. Especially fixed income folks. I can speculate that downward pressure on wages could in part be the answer. Comments?

Stocks for the Long Run?

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 08:07:41 -0400

I was smart enough to accumulate $700,000 in 401-k savings by age 45. Now at 54, my portfolio is <$300,000. Does make you wonder about buy and hold to say the least, If I had to do it all over again I probably would have done something in real estate.

Wed, 24 Oct 2007 22:27:59 -0400

I bought FRO a couple of years ago because of div%. Still pays a nice div. Why not hang on? It may be down but not going to 0 ?
