While MSFT just might have some winners and AAPL might have missed the boat a bit, the only sure winner I see is NFLX. They have a service that works now and is evolving into whatever consumers want it to become - as far as video (no games). The customer determines how much they want to pay/month, how franticly they want to watch/return the DVD's, and they still have the "Watch Now" going for them. It's almost like NFLX is anxious for the day when nobody gets any DVD's in the mail - everything is streamed. Me, too!

But, in any case, I agee that it's a perfect time. I just added to my CHK holdings this last week - and I'm already in positive territory.]]> Wed, 13 Aug 2008 11:10:42 -0400

You are correct in saying that the US (government) shouldn't try & pick. But, the government also shouldn't impose dollars more in taxes. (your price chart is scary!) If there is a scarce resource, like oil, in a free market, the price will go up to where it is valued by the consumer.

I'm already seeing people make significant life-style changes: where they live & work, how they get to work, where they shop, and what they do for entertainment. Let's not encourage the government (that as you pointed out, contributed to getting us into this situation in the first place) to start making bets on what fuel is going to be the "best."

Instead, the government's role should be to GET OUT OF THE WAY. Quit taxing or subidising. Quit regulating and setting standards. When people want fuel efficent vehicles, they will be produced & sold. When driving an Escalade or Hummer get's unbearably expensive, people will buy a Vespa or live within walking distance.

At least I do agree with most of your stock picks. NG will be a bigger and bigger component of the solution. Solar and Wind will be big winners, too. How 'bout a couple of suggestions in those sectors?]]> Wed, 16 Jul 2008 09:22:21 -0400
