      Extreme Opportunity in Gold
      Gold has a value as a reserve currency. The fiat currency is backed
      by trust in the particular government and is utterly worthless. The US,
      Europe, Asia etc. are printing money as fast as possible and inflation is
      raging and the price of oil is up in confirmation.

      Transocean's New Contract an Antidote to Oil's Volatility
      Are there any estimates of the quantity of deepwater oil? Is it recoverable? What are the economics of recovery? What technical problems remain?
      The Big Oil companies are awash in profits and must invest in deepwater exploration otherwise face excess tax on obscene profits.
      Deepwater oil exploration is speculation and Jeffrey Lin shouldn't
      squander grandfathers treasure until the above questions are answered/resolved.
      Jef sounds a little like George W.

      These Three Deep Sea Drillers Look Like a Bargain
      Deepwater exploration for oil is the last frontier.
      Oil co's have so much money that to justify their greed must invest in deepwater exploration.
      No one knows with any degree of certainty how much oil is in deepwater ie. more than 20000 ft below seabed.
      If oil is discovered how will it be extracted? and in the quantity to
      justify the investment?
      The technical problems are enormous.
      Getting the oil to market from a new discovery will be take more than 5years.
      I have more questions to ask when the above is answered

      The Great Oil Deception: Part Two
      Deep sea rigs cost approx. 1 Billion to build. Rigs are built only when there are prior committments. Daily rates are 600K/day & all sold out.
      There must be a very high degree of confidence that these huge
      investments will bring huge returns. What is the evidence & source
      material that would justify my investment?

      Transocean: Cheap Stock, Worth a Look
      Transocean is the best deep sea driller in the world. Suppose they
      find enormous quantities of oil at depths of 35000 feet? Is the technology available and the economics of bringing this
      oil to market feasible?

      Solar Power Will Be Transformational in the Next Decade
      Not in your discussion is Parabolic Solar Collectors. I believe that a huge project is underway in California which is cheaper to build and more efficient than polysilicon.

      Alan Greenspan: Now There's Chutzpah!
      The housing bubble and credit crisis was unavoidable due to the fierce resistance by the financial institutions to any oversight and regulation of the credit markets. Let the "Market do it's job" was the mantra. The Market ie the financial institutions, lenders, banks, brokers etc. failed miserably to regulate themselves and should be held accountable.

      Too Many Zeroes For Paul Krugman
      Losses due to the subprime market is spilling over into other sectors of the economy. Follow the Retail Sector. If the Christmas selling is weak a recession is very likely.
