      Second Mortgages: Why Absolve Consumers for Stupidity?
      Some of us realize that none of it is free, and therefore don't bite. And there are those who know going in that they can't make the payments and hope they'll make a profit, but if they can't, no biggie... the government will bail them out and they can always blame someone else. Both sides should be prosecuted.

      The Market's View on Oil
      Oil is not going to $60. Think, people... what season are we coming up on? People in Florida, Texas and California may have summer all year, but the majority of us have winter. We need heat. We drive all year, and we need snow plows (therefore more fuel used). Oil may be going down now, but soon...

      Besides, there are two different views: Supply/Demand says the supply is exhausted soon, and demand needs to follow (oil prices go up) or Infinite Oil (which means there's plenty of time for you to get in). And if you really think it's the speculators, and that oil is about to tank completely, then you might want to examine your IRA to see just what your advisors have invested in... you will be surprised.

      Beaten Down Buy - Cramer's Lightning Round (8/14/08)
      Cramer doesn't cause anything. The only one who causes the loss or gain is the one who does the actual buying or selling. The shareholder. Take responsibility for your own actions!

      Forget $100 a Barrel - Oil Will Plummet to $30
      Gasoline was 30 cents/gallon when I started driving, and it has never gone lower since then. The same is true for anything else we buy. My first NEW car was $2000. Never again will cars be that cheap. We used to talk about heating costs in cents per hour, now it's in dollars per year, and if you look at the "cents per hour" level, that has gone up a lot. Even if oil went below $100, or even $75, they won't lower the costs of gasoline, or natural gas, or any other energy-related item any more than they would anything else. They already know we will pay those prices and it's true. If we WILL pay those prices now, we will pay them later. Nothing ever gets cheaper. Not at the consumer level.

      Negative Trend for Oil Exploration and Production Stocks
      Oil won't go back to $50 or $70 or even $90/barrel anymore than bread has gone back below $1/loaf.

      CANROYs Remain Attractive as Oil-Related Investments
      I also have these three stocks, and have been adding to them as the price goes down. They provided a terrific cushion when my financial stocks went haywire, allowing me to do better than break even. I understand that the Canroys are all making provisions for 2011, and don't expect things (for investors) to change much, but I figure another couple years will be okay anyway.

      $200 Oil: Before Decade's End, Not Year's
      I also agree, and am glad I'm not alone in this belief.

      Oil Demand Should Continue to Fall
      With just the thought of a lower price of oil being "much lower", I can see the SUV owners simply parking their vehicles in the garage for a bit, and getting them back on the road if the price of fuel really does go lower. Result: progress lost. We need to work on newer and better fuels, as well as low-cost processes for converting vehicles currently on the road to make use of those fuels. Otherwise, we will be replacing greenhouse gases with huge SUV graveyards, thus using more energy to get rid of them than we create.

      Chicken and Egg: A Currency Called the Oil/Dollar?
      As long as one only considers medium and large cities, mass transit is a workable idea. The problem is that many more of us live in areas where even the option is not available at a reasonable cost. If the rail system currently in place were expanded and used for commuters, the air industry would be eased, and fuel needs reduced. But the rest of us drive cars 10 to 50 miles each way to work, and the option of moving closer is either not financially workable or not personally desirable. Given that, we need to fix both the dollar and the oil situations so that we have energy now and funds to explore other options in fuel/energy. To assume these are things that can wait would be foolish.

      Oil Headlines
      If the supply is unlimited (or even infinite? right.), then the price will continue to go lower and there is no reason for alternative energy in the immediate future; there is plenty of time to research and perfect the next step. However, if the supply is NOT infinite, if it is limited, then the price won't stay down very long. And that would mean maybe it's time to get back in now... ride it up again, and then jump out at the top again.

      Exxon's Record Taxes, Capital and Exploration Spending in Perspective
      Disclosure: I work for company that supplies parts for Big Auto. Those parts are marked up as basic materials, we build them and send them to whoever is putting them together with something else; we add our profit margin, and so does the next one down the line. Gotta pay the bills, right? Invest in new machines? Hire a new employee or two. It's the way it works. Big Oil, Big Auto, Big Restaurant (does anyone ever pay the chickens for their eggs?), Big Construction, Big Casino... get over it.

      Exxon's Record Taxes, Capital and Exploration Spending in Perspective
      When we talk about profit earned, how come no one complains about how much PROFIT the government has made for which it has lately done basically nothing? Lower the taxes and the prices will follow. The profits would be about the same percentage anyway. And if you want to know about profit, how much is your SUV marked up? Start from day one of part one... every company that material goes through gets a markup of their own. Company A marks up basic materials and labor. Company B adds a markup on that to put it together. Company C drills it out, adds a markup. And so it goes. Next time you complain about profit, think about how many different companies have put their markup into your car, your house, your toys. Big Oil is only the subject here because it IS big, not because their profits are so high. On a percentage basis, their profits are in line, if not lower.

      Bill Miller on This Tough Market
      jjason, how about this: In November, toss out ALL the politicians, kill all the taxes, wait for a month to see how much money we all have, and then start over with NEW policies. Forget supporting slackers who refuse to work, forget national health care, just go back to the beginning when we each supported ourselves based on our ability to trade our skills with others. Let those who will be slackers fade away. Americans worked to build this country, let us work to keep it.

      More Bad News for the Anti-Ethanol Crowd
      Fireball, from another country dweller, thank you. And jjason, some of us don't live in areas where there is public transportation, and we live too far from work to walk (30 miles each way?). We use more sunlight to warm our homes, and grow most of our own vegetables. Some of us even use hunting season for freezer stocking instead of sport. A few more years, and I won't even have to drive to work anymore. Think of the fuel I'll save then!
