Contemplating the Fallout from Increasing Oil Prices

Higher oil prices is a wild card.

Three Items That Will Signal a Crude Recovery

Consumer sentiment needs to be up too. This will happen with increase of jobs and economic activity. Both of which are not happening.

I truly believe energy and hard assets are the place to be - in the long run. However, the timing is absolutely critical. Unless you have extra capital to burn in the medium term (1 to 2 years), you want to save it for a rainy day.

Stay safe.

Should We Listen to Boone Pickens on Oil?

Pickens = Energy Leadership

Because there isn't any in Washington.

If he makes billions, he deserves it. This is after all a free economy.

Anyone with a better plan? Please speak out.

Should We Listen to Boone Pickens on Oil?

Jason Schwarz,

You may not like Pickens message, but you should heed Matt Simons' stand on oil.

Do you think oil will be below $50 ever again? Is that your position? Do you expect we have seen the last of the hurricane season? Do you see 3 billion people suddenly vanish from the face of this planet? Do you think the Chinese will driver fewer cars and continue to live in slump like conditions? What about Asia?

Oil is a global commodity, you can't 'grow' oil, and renewable energy is not going to impact the oil equation significantly for the next 50 years.

Buy oil, long, on corrections as it is currently going through now.

Despite Lower Oil Inventories, Dollar Surges

The Bakken reserves is not 'easy' oil. It is expensive to get to, even with parallel drilling technoligies. I agree with User 30121.

Since I can't stock pile hundreds of barrels of oil in my back yard, I decided to buy a safe and stock pile as much precious metals as I can.

How Much Worse Can It Get For Oil?

I sense that many folks are looking at the issue from the US centric point of view. The world is much, much, much larger than USA.

Consider future growth of Asia - especially China and India.

For every barrel of oil we are willing to give up, it will be sucked up in Asia - plus 10 more barrels!

I honestly think we will go to war for oil. In this case, commodities will rise, stocks and bonds will trade side ways or even fall relative to hard assets.

Oil Bulls' Biggest Nightmare: A Stronger Dollar

I don't think interest rate is going up anytime soon as the Fed has painted itself into a tight corner. Raising it will cause massive defaults instantly collapsing the entire economy, and with it that of the entire world.

$200 Oil, $2000 Gold?

What James West writes here is pretty forward thinking.

Please take heed. Or ignore at your own demise.

Big Oil Once Again Abused by Congress

Get rid of the ethonol initiative.

To counter ever increasing prices, do not hold on to the US$. Hold on to real money - Gold and silver!!!

Think about it, an ounce of gold bought about 10 barrels of oil in 1998. The same 1 once buys about 10 barrels of oil today (2008) too!!!

Oil and Gold Grab the Headlines - But Silver's Another Major Mover

Gold dropped this pass week because of massive
1) Sell off by the banks to shore up cash in light of current financial mess.
2) Selling of commodities by brokers to book gains for the quarter.

Make no mistake, gold's drop is temporary. When it starts to rally, it will bring the entire asset class up again. As an astute investor, do not forget to buy low and sell high.
