you are more right than most will ever know. Silver and gold, silver and gold . . .

Yep, it's starting: they'll inflate the debt away, they think. In the meantime, gold and oil and the like will go north at a rate of knots, and the US $ will head southwards. We'll also get treated to a lot of irrelevant chatter and going-nowhere "disputes" (like the AIG bonuses) to try to get us on side and stop us noticing what's really happening. ]]>

Good article. It would be interested in knowing exactly what the actual increase in debt has been thusfar, and where the directed numbers are taking us in regards to national debt. From my simplistic models using growth charts over the last century (pop, GDP, debt, etc.) I am finding that by 2015 we will hit a 34 T Public debt. That is eliminating all extra deficit spending by 2010, which is now a wholly ridiculous assumption. It appears we may approach 50 T with servicing costs, etc. People are just starting to bring numbers to the table and speaking out about this. Thta is not a sustainable debt.

The only thing that is happening here, is that we are moving the over leveraged part of our economic system to the gov which will then become weaker, and much more vulnerable to economic attack. We should be embarrassed to be letting all of this happen.

I agree that this rally is not sustainable. I am in for a short ride, maybe til earnings start coming in.]]>

let us just hope that we see a continued rally so this spring when when cap and trade comes into the spotlight, they won't be able to push a stimulus 2 (as an actual rebate)at the same time to give an illusion that the bottom 95% will get a rebate from the Cap and Trade program. That is surely how they will drum support and leave the two completely separate. I totally agree with you, but we have to ever cognizant of the reality of our government. Cards are so far up the sleeves it is like they have a full deck hidden, and claiming just one deck being played with.

Also, be very wary of what is coming out of Copenhagen this week at the Climate Conference. Cap and Trade may work on a very small scale, but I get the feeling this global in scope. There is a lot of hand waving going on, and whenever I ask on of these "Climate experts" to show a viable forward and reverse model that doesn't explode, the can't. My education was in geophysics, and these experts claim that they need geophysicists to work on the problem, but very few geophysicists agree with them as far as I can tell.

Just watch it very carefully, and expect extremely underhanded tricks. This is apolitical movement and it has nothing to do with anything but selling a product that has no value. ]]>

FRE, PRU, HIG, MET?

Is it going to stop?

WE have to start paying attention. I took the data from bea.gov, and census.gov and mapped public debt, population growth and particularly per capita public debt over the last 100 years.

With the extra spending last year, and estimate additional 3 trillion this year with - 4% GDP, and -2% GDP for 2010 with 2 trillion in additional deficit spending in 2010. And flat GDP until 2015 with no deficit spending, our public debt (state, local and federal) will be 34 trillion dollars in 2015. That does not include any additional deficit spending and debt servicing costs.

Our per capita debt will double by the end of 2010 at 80K for every man, woman and child. Our federal debt will double in the same time period. Am I the only one who sees a problem with this?

If you want the xcel spreadsheet, just write. I was worried that my estimates were too high for additional spending, but it appears they may be too low.

The geophysical environs in Brazil, and all of the transform faults that are there make for a very tricky drilling environment. And at depth. Those holes are deep.

I just visited your website. I would love to read what you have written on the field in question. It is a very complex area . . . and the cooking was dicey and fluids have been so mobile. I would love to know more. I haven't done anything with that type of environ since about 2004.

Thanks . . .

I have heard news that Mexico is drying up. Now, Brazil's new recent find has rallied reserves but it is not enough to fill the void should China's economy stabilize and remain in the positive growth territory.

That being said, there are many more emerging markets that are increasing the demand even with this downturn. We will have to see what happens in the next 6 months to get a better picture. I am a bit worried about the commercial real estate and what implications that might have on lending in the next year. Time will tell.

Now, Oil shales are a last reserve desperate attempt (with today's technology) to compete with easy oil of the middle east. I think one should look at that being the oil that runs the infrastructure when most are too poor to go visit grandma in the nursing home. And here is where the big issue is with the oil game. Oil services (with the exclusion of small exploration companies, et cetera) are not subject to short term fluctuations in oil prices. You seem to understand the oil industry well enough to know that a short time period for the Oil industry is 2-3 years. They just can't mobilize that quickly so why pay attention to it? XOM et cetera think in term of 5 - 10 years. They have to. In today's world, the average human mind thinks in terms of days to months at the most. There is a big disconnect there. Oil services are always a long term play, although if there were smart people, some (RIG) can played on the short term.

One thing we should be looking for in the next six months is to what the countries who depend on oild prices at a stable level, ($75 so they say) need to stay afloat, and what they are willing to do should Oil prices remain low.

I personally think there will be pipeline attacks, escalation of mid east tensions, and other disruptions and fear mongering that will send oil prices back to the 70 - 90 range in the next 4 months. Wait for the next puppet to take office, that is when it will really start. While RIG has been following closely to the per barrel price lately, it really shouldn't be, that is the truth, and you know it. Compare to DO (although RIG has greater deep water exposure). Oil prices will not remain low. Devalue the dollar, start the next commodity boom! PRINT . . . PRINT . . . PRINT.]]>

my comments were meant to stir thought. They may be the largest factory employing industry in the nation, but therein lies the problem. The fat ones can't move, and maybe they need to fail to stir productivity and efficiency. We all know that we are not near the deepest part of the bottom, and it will be time before we reach it.

You are correct in that they do not need fish, but need to learn how to fish. Unfortunately, you know it as well as I do, that will never happen. Listen to the song Fat Man, it is the perfect analogy for the big three. Big corporations are obese, and the big three are the fattest of them all. You have to be nimble in this economy, and for the next few years if not the next decade or two. They just ain't got it.

Gas will not stay below it's current value. It just is not going to happen. All Venezuela or Iran has to do is sponsor terror attacks on ports and pipelines and you will see oil at 120. It is all timing, nothing is going to happen until after the Obama adornation.

But wait, maybe we could nationalize the car industry and the banking industry . . . Thanks Paulson, way to change the rules at whim! This is going to be fun!]]>

The fact remains, energy cannot be created or destroyed. Also the natural tendency is for energy to be dispersed (increase in entropy).

No matter what you do, there is going to be a trade off. Every energy source has it's impacts. The environmentalists hate the dams, they hate the oil rigs, they hate the manufacturing plants and corporations that create solar, they hate that the wind turbines kill birds, they hate nuclear waste. Ignoring these people is what needs to be done, and for the people who are in charge to develop a plan where all sources of energy that we know of today are used to effecitively and efficiently. You are not going to decrease the demand for energy, and if there were better alternatives on the market, they would be out there.

I always laugh at people people who jump up and down about clean energy and say that there are alternatives. This is a global economy, and if you think there is a way to really keep the new energy technology under wraps you are seriously deluded. The market is constrained by energy right now. There a millions of scientists trying to find new and more efficient ways to use the energy we do have (take a look at the cell phone/.PDA market if you need help).

Nuclera energy is a viable alternative. I studied as much as is available to the general public about chernobyl. Someone effed up, big time. Hmmm, and some people say that socialism and communism are good things. Nuclear energy is being used today, it will continue to be used and it will continue to be researched and developed.

This society needs energy to run. Plain and simple. You take that away and you will have some serious problems which make a global food crisis seem like a nice, cute little walk in Central Park.]]>

The fact remains, energy cannot be created or destroyed. Also the natural tendency is for energy to be dispersed (increase in entropy).

No matter what you do, there is going to be a trade off. Every energy source has it's impacts. The environmentalists hate the dams, they hate the oil rigs, they hate the manufacturing plants and corporations that create solar, they hate that the wind turbines kill birds, they hate nuclear waste. Ignoring these people is what needs to be done, and for the people who are in charge to develop a plan where all sources of energy that we know of today are used to effecitively and efficiently. You are not going to decrease the demand for energy, and if there were better alternatives on the market, they would be out there.

I always laugh at people people who jump up and down about clean energy and say that there are alternatives.
