Exxon Mobil Ignites Depressed Natural Gas Market

The malaise in which natural gas has wallowed for the last year is the classic "petri dish" from which every great new bull market - in anything - is born.

Will 2009's Losers Become 2010's Winners?

The US$ is the new Carry Trade Spear Catcher and will be into the foreseeable future until the US$ is carried out in a body bag the same way a heroin addict is.

The Fed is addicted to printing US Dollars the same way a heroin addict is addicted to heroin; neither the Fed nor the addict are going to stop until one of the following happens:

1. Death
2. Intervention

Whom, may I ask, will intervene to save the Fed from itself ? A: No one, that Point Of No Return has long since passed.

Dr. Stephen Leeb on Commodities and Inflation - Is He a Genius or Alarmist?

[G]enius "or" alarmist ? Why must there be the implied choice? Is a genius incapable of also being an alarmist ? And vice-versa ? The real, salient question, however, is: Which of Dr. Leeb's premises are correct, and which are not ?

Your discussion of the "BRAC" countries is incomplete without the inclusion of New Zealand. It lives and labours in the shadow of neighbouring Australia, and is thus - unfairly - relegated to afterthought status when it is not deserving of such. But it is poised to enjoy the same good fortune as Great Britain did in the 70's and 80's when its vast hydrocarbon deposits are exploited over the next several decades.
