Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

axel...just a quick comment, Warren Buffet just made a deal where he has as one part the option to buy $5 billion of common shares of Goldman Sachs at $115. I guess he's been taking classes...

Honestly I know he made that comment but the context was probably in reference to the CDO's etc.

As long as ur long options the only risk u run is the premium u paid. That gives them less risk or at least a known fixed maximum risk before u enter a position.

Naked short options pose a high risk where u can loss more than u have in ur account.

People who want to short options can use credit spreads to protect their positions and risk.

Political Energy Policy Just for Laughs

I too have become interested in the NGV (Natural Gas Vehicles) as the best and quickest way to begin to free America from this foreign oil dependence and to help stop this endless debt that could eventually destroy the framework of our country.

I am astonished that NGV's are not discussed more about the potential impact it could have with a minimal effort and work on our consumption of oil.

Sure there are many things to be discussed about the best ways to implement everything but the technology is ready now and is being used in a small scale in this country and around the world but would have a very substantial impact for individuals and the country if we got together and did this on a large scale.

First, I think the country needs to become informed about what NGV's are all about and how this could be the simplest, most effective and quickest way to change our gasoline consumption and save money too!

Hopefully the media, a celebrity, the government, business or maybe even the politicans in this election will be start to make some noise about the potential with this and lets see if Americans want to show oil
we no longer have to be at their mercy.

Here's one hyperlink I found informative about NGV's from Canada, there are more just need to do some internet searches.

Grow up David...

BTW the the gas/oil crisis was in '73 and '74

Friday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets

David, a poor choice of individuals to quote from and claim he was prophetic. In '74 the country was in the crux of a gas/oil crisis with the Middle East and it wasn't particularly prophetic or enlightening all you had to do was ask any Joe Q citizen in the street and he would have told u as much also. These problems were well known way before those times too it just becomes headline news when matters become extreme like currently and then.

Anyway, I agree with u just not the quote or the use of it.

I just hope in the future i don't read articles with u quoting Bushisms and saying how prophetic he was....
