      Greenspan's Christmas Carol Warning
      I really enjoyed this article, since I have been wondering what the impact of the emerging stagflation would have on various asset classes. Thanks for reading my mind and writing an informative article. This is going to be a keeper in 2008!

      Fox Business Network Off To Weak Start
      I'd like to watch FBN, but they aren't available yet on my cable network. I've requested them more than once.
      I like the idea of a webcast service that they author here suggested. I would put it on full screen and watch/listen instead of CNBC. I agree with other commentors here that the CNBC people are too egotistical. I'm hungry for an alternative.

      Jim Cramer's 10 Predictions for 2008
      Here's an alternate to #10:
      The Fed continues to lower rates to near zero, devaluing the currency into the dust, and inflation goes through the roof while we have nevertheless experience stagflation. Today's skyrocketing commodities (oil, gold, grains, softs all hit record highs today) prices and plunging stock market are the beginning of the fulfillment of this prediction.

      COT Report: A ContraIndicator?
      So if you are saying that the COT is net long even today, are we to assume that we should be short?

      Did President Bush Say That the U.S is Broke?
      I heard the President give that speech live. You read into it things he was not saying. It was obvious enough to me. He was simply trying to make the point that the U.S. must remain prosperous in order to be able to have and spend the resources necessary to develop alternative technologies. That should be obvious enough, especially to those of us who have lived in third world countries where they don't have the prosperity or capital base to do so.

      Seven Reasons Why a Weak Dollar Hurts America
      I loved this article. On reason #6, I appreciate you mentioning this. The pundits fail to mention, as you wisely did, that this is fools gold for corporate profits. What use are higher overseas earnings if ever dollar of repatriated profits buy less and less when paid out to shareholders and employees?

      What's the Mainstream Missing on Gold?
      I thought I knew a lot about the gold standard, Central Banking and its destructiveness and cruelty to a nation's people, and monetary history, but I learned some new information about history from this insightful and well-researched article. I printed a copy for future reading a reference. Thanks!

      Watch Out: A Correction in Oil is Coming
      I attribute the divergence in price to the higher production and oil acquisition costs, reflected in Exxon's lower earnings results from last quarter and disappointing forward projections for the next. This has caused selling of oil co stocks, while the price of oil itself has continued higher. Investors have finally realized that higher oil prices adversely affect oil companies' profits, too. The higher and higher input costs are beginning to take their toll. While you may be right (my gas tank hopes you are) in predicting lower oil prices, I'm not yet convinced that the demand for oil will be sufficiently less for the price of oil to be bearish. If the U.S. economy slides further toward recession, perhaps due to poor Christmas retail sales, then demand may slip and your prediction would be fulfilled. Unfortunately, this is looking more and more like the most probable scenario. I'm just not yet completely convinced that scenario will play out, perhaps due to my own wishful thinking. I believe this ETF price divergence is CAUSED by higher oil prices, but not that it is prophetic. Time will tell.
