      Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News
      Mr. Levy keeps posting the same post throughout. It is pure spam, intended to tease people to his site, where he sells books. The books are as silly as his too-often-repeated posts.

      Oil Bubble Breaking? Barron's Outlines the Case, But the Argument is Weak
      All you who want to control oil prices and think speculators are pushing it higher:

      Put your money where your mouth is -- SHORT the crude oil market!

      P.S. This was a good write-up. It covered all aspects, pros and cons, without showing bias. I consider it more a review of the state of oil rather than a case for a long or short crude oil trade.

      Michael Levy, those are the silliest and most absurd "reasons" I've every heard. Your long list lacks just that -- reason.

      The only person they make any sense to is Hugo Chavez, since they are just the types of activities he uses in his country. Are you a cousin of his, perhaps? Or related to Fidel Castro? If people want to see what consequences such silly notions would have, let them just look at Venezuela, where oil production is falling and food shortages are skyrocketing.

      Such socialist ideas have ultimately destroyed every civilization they've ever touched, yet people who tout them seem to think that the problem is just the fools who implement them. It's not the people. It's the principles! They're WRONG and DESTRUCTIVE, no matter whether they're imposed by tyrants in Venezuela or their cousins in Congress! If people listen to and take these ridiculous ideas seriously, then things will get much, MUCH worse as both the capital -- and the oil -- go to where they are more welcome.

      What will THAT do to the dollar as -- just like what happened to the currency in Venezuela -- capital flight collapses the Dollar even more and crude and other commodity prices go through the roof. What a great prescription for creating hyperinflation!

      ETF Update: Hedges Against Oil, Retail ETFs Up, ETFs and a Bullish Dollar
      Now, there is also a new commodity ETN that takes BOTH long and short positions in the same ETF. When I read the headline, I was interested in the article because I thought that's what this article would be about, but it wasn't. The symbol for the ETN that goes BOTH long and short is LSC. Cool!

      At the Fed, Precedent Takes a Holiday
      If, however, after talking so hawkish and emphasizing inflation so much over the past two weeks, the Fed doesn't raise rates eventually, it would also seem to me that the Fed's cred will be crud! As if it weren't already!?
      If that happens, the Dollar would collapse again, inflation could run even higher...
      Talk about a rock and a hard spot!

      At the Fed, Precedent Takes a Holiday
      I have also read two other articles by different writers suggesting two additional reasons the Fed won't raise rates:
      1) The Fed rarely raises rates in an election year. It wants to appear politically impartial.
      2) The Fed, after taking so much bad paper on its balance sheet by lending to banks against SUVs, now has a monumental conflict of interest. If it raises rates, it almost guarantees that even more of those loans used a collateral will go bad.

      Indicators For A Blow-Off Top In Oil
      You really didn't make a case here at all. Basically, your article doesn't suggest that this IS a blow-off top. All you really are doing here is asking a question: IS THIS a blow-off top?

      You didn't make your case. This was a waste of time for me to read.

      Excellent Stocks When (If) Oil Hits $150
      I don't find this info to be useful, since there is NO rationale for how these companies were selected or why. It's just a list, nothing more! It has no context nor meaning to me.

      Comparing Commodity ETFs/ETNs
      There are also several other ETFs/ETNs. There are some new ones by Deutsche Bank that both double the long and double the short side of the commodity markets. One might look at them also before making a decision.

      Why the Oil Spike?
      That quote out of Saudi Arabia was stunning! That could easily send oil up $10. I have read other news stories around the world that more and more oil producing nations are rumbling that since oil is in limited supply, they are going to hold onto their oil for their own use instead of exporting it.
