Is GLD a Good Deal?

Only dumb, trusting pot smoking investors buy GLD as an investment. its for trading only. Everyone should have 10-30% of their assets in physical gold in their local bank safety deposit box right now.

The iron doors to financial safety are closing shut all over the world. The largest bubble of capitalism’s end-game is being shaped right now, a bubble of simply stupendous proportions, a bubble composed of extraordinary amounts of government debt; and, when this bubble bursts, governments and their (no-gold-holding) citizens will be its impoverished victims. don't be one of them.

The case for gold and silver is simple as it is old; as the same story has been repeated during the last 1,000 years, first in the East then in the West. Gold and silver were money. Then paper currencies backed by gold and silver were introduced by bankers and governments and were substituted for gold and silver. Then gold and silver were removed from paper money because governments had spent the gold while printing more and more paper money. As a result, every experiment with paper money ended in disaster. Hence the need for smart people to have some gold (and-or silver) under their own hand.

Giving your gold to GLD just helps the cartel in their shorting program to suppress the price. This cartel is good if you want to buy more physical gold at low prices.

Exxon Ups the Algae Ante Big Time

At best algae will produce 20,000 gallons per acre per year. thats after investing maybe $250,000 per acre in plastic pipes etc.

Then it still costs $20/bbl to refine it into biodiesel using perhaps 80 barrels of water per barrel of fuel..

The economic math simply does not work!

Fed, Treasury Propose the Dissolution of Capitalism

You are my Hero for telling it as it is.

The Mystery of the Underperforming Gold Stocks

The reason people are not buying gold stocks is because the ones with actual brains are using what little money they have left to buy gold bullion. Its that simple.

If the gold price pops over $1,000 and-or the market in general stabilizes gold bugs will come back into the speculative gold stocks.

Look behind the barrage of spin fed to us every day. The world's biggest banks are bankrupt. Everything else will surely follow.

Governments are effectively bankrupt too, they are just not telling you.

The US gov't borrowed 3% of GDP in 2007, in 2009 they need to borrow 14% of GDP to pay for the biggest pork program ever created. China is broke and can't lend us that much money. The US dollar will crash this year....

Is the Second Great Depression Imminent?

What a load of rubbish. All we have to do is switch to making flexi-fuel cars, able to run on CNG-gasoline and the problem is solved for 200 years. America has discovered 120 years supply of natural gas in shales etc., recently. My company alone could provide 10% of America's natural gas needs from offshore North Carolina and the Bering Sea Deeps resources.

America has 400 years supply of oil in shales in Colorado-Utah-Wyoming, which can be retorted into oil for $30 per barrel anytime we want.

Peak oil is totally, completely wrong. There's tons of oil and gas available at the right price, which is probably $75 per barrel or more. At today's oil price the oil companies won't bother opening any new fields because there's no profit in it. Once the price goes back up we will be turning the tap on big time and there will be plenty for everyone...

Oil: Remember Iran?

Right on the button!

Why "Drill, Baby, Drill!" Does Not Translate Into Effective National Energy Policy

Damn, this article is so far off base in facts. 80-90% of all the rigs are drilling for natural gas. Mostly on private land where government can't stop them. So now we have over 100 years supply of natural gas. All the dumbies in Congress have to do now is mandate the $25 billion gift they gave to the car cos is used to make all new cars flexi-fuel CNG or gasoline and Americas transport fuel problem will be largely solved....

Add to this opening up ANWAR and the shelf and oil shales and America would have all the fossil fuel it needs for 4oo years.... yes 400 years.

PROPOSED ENERGY EMERGENCY EXECUTIVE ORDER:

“THE BUSH AMERICAN ENERGY-ECONOMY FREEDOM PROJECT”

1. Declare an energy emergency and set aside the OCS permitting requirements so as to fast-track various critical new energy developments. Immediately Grant new ANWR, OCS and Oil-Shale “Energy Emergency” leases on a first come first served basis allowing smaller American companies to participate. This will blunt the complaints that big oil is being pandered to.

2. Exempt the new lease areas from any and all State and Federal lawsuits, imposts and delays. (See Senator DeMint’s proposed “Drill Now” Act.)

3. Offer low-interest loans for new energy projects production equipment, even more for natural gas projects, a cleaner low C02 fuel.

4. Grant a tax holiday for projects in declared special "American Energy Economic Zones" (AEEZ) to stimulate immediate action on the ground.

5. Temporarily eliminate up-front oil and gas lease payments and other imposts, in return for an increased royalty (20%) on the back end; after production commences.

6. Mandate that all new cars sold (not just made, but sold) in the United States within 3-4 years to be flexible fueled—operable on any combination of Natural Gas, Compressed Natural Gas, (CNG) or Gasoline. Alternatively alcohol (including both methanol and ethanol) or gasoline fuel.

The Democrats are secretly sticking with a flawed nation-killing, anti-carbon theology that opposes all new oil production. The ultimate cost of their policies if implemented, will be the destruction of the American economy.

Compressed Natural Gas: Key to American Energy Independence?

my company AOAG alone is sitting on speculative claims, and lease applications on over 3,000 trillion ft gas, 10-20% Recoverable.

Arab world fears an Iran war may be impending

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

August 18, 2008, 10:10 PM (GMT+02:00)
USS Ronald Reagan

USS Ronald Reagan

DEBKAfile’s Middle East sources report that the Iranian satellite carrier space launch Sunday, Aug. 17, was prompted by a joint caution to Tehran from Saudi King Abdullah and Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.

After their meeting Saturday, the spokesman of the presidential palace in Cairo, Suleiman Awwad, said: Iran should not present on a silver platter the “justifications and pretexts for those [US and Israel] who want to drag the region down a dangerous slope.”

This warning was interpreted by the London Arabic daily Al Quds as a warning to Tehran that an attack is impending by the US, some European nations and Israel.

The article recalled the fate of Saddam Hussein “who didn't adequately refute claims over Iraq's supposed weapons of mass destruction.”

Tehran immediately responded to the warning by launching the Safir satellite carrier into orbit, thereby exhibiting a ballistic missile capable of reaching outside the Middle East, as far as Britain and France, should they decide to join an American attack on Iran, as well as US military installations on that continent.

Our military sources report that the war scare in Cairo and Riyadh also infected Kuwait.

Last week, the small oil emirate placed its military on “war alert,” to avoid being caught off-guard by a possible conflict in the region. On Saturday, Kuwait boosted its naval force in the Persian Gulf to ward off a possible Iranian reprisal against its oil installations if attacked.

The scare was fed by the impending arrival of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, the USS Ronald Reagan, and the USS Iwo Jima in the Persian Gulf to reinforce the US strike forces in the region, as first revealed by DEBKAfile on August 11.

They are to join the USS Abraham Lincoln, which is patrolling the Arabian Sea opposite Iran, and the USS Peleliu, on beat in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. This deployment would be the largest naval task force the US and its allies had massed in the region since the 1991 Gulf War.

A US Pentagon spokesman last week denied that these forces were gathering to impose a partial naval blockade on Iran, but declined to disclose their mission. The denial apparently failed to convince the rulers of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Kuwait.

Everyone's forgotten that there are no less than five US aircraft Carriers and support vessels off Iran, loaded for bear.....

Do Stock Screeners Work? Three Inexpensive, Reliable Energy Plays

AOAG FOR A VERY SPEC ENERGY PLAY

Natural Gas & Wind Power - The Pickens Plan

AMERICA IS FULL OF "ENERGY IDIOTS"

‘Buy America Energy’ should be our focus for the future.
We could have $2.50 gasoline from our own local supplies.
The American oil shortage is political, not geological.
In the U.S., the local, State and Federal governments prohibits drilling offshore, effectively blockading American companies from supplying oil to Americans so that foreigners can make obscene profits from our energy stupidity.
Half the home sales in America are foreclosures because we are sending all our money overseas for foreign oil, when it could be staying here creating millions of safe American oil and local jobs.
The entire economy and our communities are facing collapse because of the irrational ongoing attack on American Energy.
Our entire modern society is build on fossil fuels. The population is so brainwashed by the "Sierra Club Gang" they don't realize that if the much maligned oil companies went on strike, within a month half the population would be dead;
Without hydrocarbons fuel you would soon be walking. You couldn’t be driving cars, and it wouldn’t do any good to call the maintenance or repair people because they wouldn’t be able to get there, as they would be walking too.
The food distribution system would quickly grind to a halt as cold-storage warehouses stockpiling perishables went offline due to lack of electricity.
Most of the things we depend upon would be gone, and we would literally be depending on our own food assets and those we could reach by walking to them.
Without hydrocarbons fuel people in hospitals would be dying faster, because they depend on electrical power and natural gas for warming to stay alive. But then stoppages would soon include water, food, civil authority, emergency services. And we would end up with a country with many, many people not surviving.
ANWR: Could quickly replace 10% of America's oil imports.
OIL SHALE: There's 3 trillion barrels of oil in Shales in Colorado, The technology to remove the oil was developed back in the mid 1980s. This Area could supply 20-30% of America's oil needs within a decade, with modest environmental impacts. It only takes 3 barrels of water to make one barrel of shale-oil. It take 85 barrels of water to make one barrel of ethanol!
CALIFORNIA FACT; There is between 2-3 billion barrels of proven-probable barrels of oil within 20 miles of the Santa Barbara County shores alone.
See; www.strategicnine.com/...
CALIFORNIA FACT; This area alone could produce 300,000 to 500,000 barrels a day for 10-20 years, replacing more than half of California's oil imports, while generating billions in County, State and federal royalties, and make Santa Barbara County the wealthiest in the nation.
NATURAL OIL SEEPS POLLUTION; The Santa Barbara County continues to suffer 6,000 tons per year or airborne pollution from natural oil-gas seeps and does not get a nickel in revenues or health benefits from natural oil seeps and instead continues bankrolling Americas competitors and enemies.
Change is urgently needed, or the American economy will soon disintegrate.
The OPEC-Russia-Chavez oil cartel is not just looting the United States, but the whole world, and will accumulate over $1.5 trillion in net profits this year. At their current rate of take, OPEC-Russia will acquire enough cash to buy majority control of every leading company in the United States within six years. And you are voting into power the very American-energy-traito... who are doing this to you and your country.
Its high time to Put American’s Energy Supplies First.
Vote all the energy-idiots out of local state and federal governments.

Will Automakers Switch to Natural Gas?

My tiny company alone has around 200 trillion cubic ft natural gas. See AOAG.

There's plenty to go around and its clean fuel.

How You Can Invest in the Pickens Plan

Another way to combine water with wind is to use windmills to pump water.

You need two lakes, one above another.

When the wind is blowing, you use the turbines as pumps and shift the water up hill to a higher lake and when the wind stops the pumps become generators and the water flows down hill again.

The Swiss have been secretly doing this with cheap nuke power from France which they quietly use at night, when the France electricity demand is low, they pump Swiss lake water uphill. and let it run turbines during the day. smooths out the electricity flow.... Maybe this is what Boone is planning.
