Why I'm Not Buying Oil's Recent 'Correction'

Mark you jump to some incorrect conclusions. But you also make valid points and some bracing data with respect to growth. But that growth is just that growth and w2hile the rate of growth is declining it is still growth. Energy did not lead the markets higher. Energy was led higher by the growth and by the markets/ Look at charts for the S&P. energy companies, and fertilizer companies. The ferts and energies went higher because of the growth in other areas. Perhaps energy will fall but as long as growth exists and their is not an over-supply of a particular commodity that commodity should rise in value/price. Again, look at the charts in the commodity sector didn't rise until well after growth in other areas. Also you need to start you graph in 2003 or 1993 rather than skew the data by starting at the end of the telecom/internet build out bubble. By your logic Goggle would have been a worthless investment.

Illustrated Lessons from Financial Cycles and Trends

I went to one of his seminars and was sitting in about the 3rd row. The place was filled twenty to twenty five rows deep. Anyway Ken puts on the presentation, incredibly abrasive guy, talks about his rivalry with his father, and sometimes offers some insights in between sparring with members of the audience. About 3/4 of the way thru I turn around to look at a questioner and literally 98% of the people sitting behind us had left. The man was 100% jerk.

Is 'Peak Oil' Already Affecting the Stock Market?

Interesting that Hirsch doesn't think much of renewables. He leaves out battery technology and its ongoing development which is considerable. The market economies think otherwise with hydrids, Chevy's upcoming Volt, the run on lithium companies, etc. But Jim is on the mark in these areas.
