      Force Protection: Classic Example of Defense Boom/Bust
      I recall writing in response to an inquiry asking my opinion on FRPT months ago when it was approaching $30/share. I professionally answered the inquiry (basically, the stock had a great move up but was overpriced because of prospective competition, etc.). I was villified by the cast of characters that live and die by dogmatic reluctance to have seen the writing on the wall. It was actually quite humorous - if you didn't want my answer, then why ask the question?

      FRPT may be a deal at a couple of bucks a share.Personally, I doubt it. Zealots will ride it, pump it and eventually crash and burn. All too familiar for novices, and inexcusable for seasoned investors.

      Alt. Energy: More Technology Than Energy?
      Shorting Al Gore is a better idea than alternative energy plays at this time. Coal (with improved pollutant capture technology), nuclear and conservation are going to play a larger role than wind, solar and biofuel.
      Shortage of oil? Hardly. Shortage of courage to get the billions of proven oil assets within our national boundary? You bet.

      The Long Case for Cheniere Energy
      The currect price of this stock speaks for itself. The article was a long view, certainly longer than 2010. That said,the currect collapse in share price was a surprise to me. A big surprise. My bad for now!

      8 Stocks to Benefit from the Coming Uptrend in Housing
      Interesting comments. The thrust of the article was to be the great value of obtaining rental real estate and serving the needs of the lower middle and middle class. When you can buy a home now and get a 20-30% return with rents plus additional tax benefits (if you buy smart), who cares if housing goes down another 10%? Or 15% The stocks that will benefit are just icing on the cake a bit later.

      Passive investors or those just not willing to educate themselves to make a great total return in active real estate investing should just stay focused on commodities or securities.

      Some may want to review my observations in the article as to whom is buying and profiting now in the housing market.

      Yes. But I still have not added it to my Speculative Portfolio. Lots of opportunities elsewhere to date.

      The Real Solution to the Energy Problem
      Conserving energy through personal and collective action is noble and just.

      Not extracting oil because of a moose, caribou or polar bear is stupid.

      Preventing research for cleaner burning coal and oil because it will impact the profits from the carbon credit scam and offend global warming zealots is criminal.

      Corn Ethanol Can Never Replace Meaningful Quantities of Motor Fuel
      Some of the same characters commenting on thsi thoughtful and fact-based post are the same who try, poorly, to demonize those who question ethanol and other grain-based fuels. Take away the government subsidies and other freebies given to the politically correct ethanol crowd and you arrive at an "inconvienient truth" - grain based fuels are bad for the poor, bad for the environment, bad for fuel economy, etc., etc. and GREAT for the ethanol lobby and their minions.

      The Case Against Ethanol
      It appears that many points made against ethanol are based upon facts and personal observation, while many points made for ethanol are based on imposing one's lifestyle on another and "big government is best" ideas. In any event, it is good that both sides are heard.

      Why Is Progressive Interested in Auto Fuel Efficiency?
      The company CEO is a far left loon, as are the ilk of characters such as Mark Cuban.

      Progressive's head has also donated millions to organizations such as moveon.org and anti-military, Georg Soros-initiated programs which hurt, not help our country.

      Progressive probably spent more on the new naming rights to Cleveland Stadium (formerly Jacobs Field) than any alternative fuel initiative.

      Let the "baby boys" have their fun.

      The Case Against Ethanol
      There is no paradox. Ethanol dependence starves the poor. Our Democratic Congress (and Republican Governors in Florida and California) prevent drilling for oil off almost all the coasts and inland (while China and Venezuala drill off our shore at the bequest of Cuba). We have coal supplies for an estimated six hundred years within U.S. boundaries with carbon dioxide recapture capabilities on the horizon and natural gas, solid and liquid in quantities out the ying yang. Nuclear power? Politically incorrect. We can mitigate $$ to the dictators in many ways.

      So there is little need for ethanol. No need to raise world grain prices, no need to tax working people for a fashionable energy agenda and no need to wring our hands over our poor grandchildren dealing with the issue.

      They should do a much better job of it than we will, learning from our environmental lobby mistakes.

      Nestlé's Global Diversification Makes It Worth a Taste
      This is a major component of the IShares Switzerland ETF, along with other gold-plate Swiss headquartered companies. Worth taking a peek at.

      Dividend-Paying ETFs: A Source of Retirement Income
      Nice effort here. BUT, the safety of these ideas are questionable. Very questionable.

      Getting Back to Financial Basics
      If the far left for whom Cara is Patron Saint succeeds with his wishes, I'll be amongst the first to react to the socialist lefties taking over the "capital" markets.

      My passport is valid and the Swiss Bank I utilize is open for business.

      Many forward-looking capitalists who made Cara wealthy will just go somewhere else to enjoy life and work hard as usual, keeping what they earn, while the misery is spread equally here in North America as a population of victims await freebies from Big Government.

      The End of U.S. Investing as We Know It?
      Why is it that when the economy dips when a Republican is President, it is his fault (and the greedy BIG WHATEVERS running the corporate enemies of the moment) and when the economy falters when a Democrat is President, it is a normal cyclical event?
