      Offshore U.S. Drilling Proposals Bullish for National-Oilwell Varco
      Longoil,
      15 or 20 bbls? I don't think that will fill up 1 house in the ghetto for the winter.

      Oil's Supply and Demand
      Supply demand imbalance does not explain Nat Gas's rise. We are coming off the highest gas storage levels on record last year.

      It is all a game. When the music stops, don't be caught without a chair or you might be OUT.

      Hyperinflation, Here We Come
      You can't have inflation like that without wage pressure. Currently, wage pressure is nil.

      10 Notes on Residential Housing
      Tulsa is doing fine. Thankfully, but since I'm not selling my home any time soon, I really don't care.

      Real Prices for New Cars Keep Going Down
      proseadvocat, you are making zero sense.

      I'll bet you are one of those folks that thinks inflation is really 10%. Of course, if that IS true, then the real cost of a car is even LESS now compared to the cost in 1980. You cannot have it both ways.

      Add in the fact that any car you bought in 1980 was LUCKY to last 5 years without needing significant repairs (>20% cost of the car), and a car today will easily go 8 or more years without needing such repair and the TRUE cost of a car now is MUCH less than it was then.

      But if that IS true, and the government includes that in the calculation of inflation then inflation might ACTUALLY be lower than all the ten percenters think. BLASPHEMY!

      Hayward and Butler Comment on Speculation in Oil Markets
      If you don't think there will be DRAMATIC demand destruction over the next 2 years due to the current price, you haven't done your homework.

      Hybrid Cars: It Finally Makes Economic Sense to Buy One
      If you read their website, they point out that the payback period has increased recently because as gas prices have spiked, people have freaked out and started paying above sticked for hybrids. Meanwhile, non-hybrids have steep discounts. This combination makes the payback period go up, even as gas prices go up.

      A one year old sentra will run you about $11000 or less and get 30mpg or so. The prius may get 42 mpg or better, but with a 6 month waiting list and paying close to $30,000 you won't ever make your money back.

      I want a Hybrid as much as the next guy, but if you are really basing your purchase on the $$ involved, buy a used economy car and you will be better off.

      Buffett Bets Big Against the Hedgies
      Sheesh, it is just a bell curve with the bottom end constantly going out of business or starting new funds.

      Any fund around for ten years will most likely beat the market. The losers won't last that long.

      1,238 Billion Barrels of Oil Reserves: Is This an Oil Price Bubble?
      br1756
      The problem with your 34-40 yr analysis is that 20 years ago, when I went to work for Conoco, we had guess what - 40 years of reserves in the world.

      As the author pointed out, reserves have been GROWING, that means more oil has been found than was produced.

      Trust me, this is all a shell game, and at some point it will crater to $50 or lower and OPEC will be all woe is me and the oil producing states will take it on the chin as they always do during the bust that follows all booms.

      Investing Into the End of the Hydrocarbon Age
      Here is a nice graph of the demand drop in the US (around 30% from the peak) the last time we had the huge price spike in the late 70's and early 80's. Notice the demand didn't bottom until 2 yrs after the price peaked, even though the price was much lower soon after, the demand kept dropping.

      It takes a while to implement all the energy saving plans and technologies people are just now committing to.

      I sold half my Energy Mutual Fund today...FSENX. 5% move...down from here for Oil. Demand destruction is only just beginning. Once all those flights get cancelled and all the people that have decided their next car is a Hybrid actually buy one, the demand destruction will be enormouse. Same thing happened in the 70's, and this will be much more dramatic given the advent of hybrid and solar.
