The World’s Biggest Gold Reserves

This is a crock. The USA gold is leased out and gone. Some of the others are suspect too although China has the goods and is a major buyer and so does Germany & France. They both know because they lived through the hell of hyperinflation and the dictators that came after its pernicious wrath.

Why Value Investors Should Avoid Gold

I agree - don't buy gold but buy silver - it is a sure thing in the future with supply and demand. All paper money is dying and real assets will be of value. And a bonus is the BRICK story along with resource depletion. WOW

Energy Myths for the 21st Century

ry good and thorough article that covers the energy and resource issue very succinctly. I wish you included the Export Land Model which I wrote a Seeking Alpha article about (please check out) – seekingalpha.com/user/... and Jevons paradox too. These factors make the situation even more acute that you brought out. Your article was very good though.

Social Security: Here's How to Extend the Fund's Life

The SS Trust Fund is already gone because it is a suitcase of IOU's - just like in the movie Dum and Drummer. The money was heisted since the early 80's to fund all other spending in which the banking cartel members & others profited. The only way recipients of SS are getting their cherished $ is by taxing others now and by borrowing. I cannot believe you did not bring this out in your article. Now you want to save the system by confiscating the contractual future payments of SS money to anyone making more than 100K? What? Hello - 100K is a modicum of money now days to survive on with the rampant price inflation that is here and the tidal wave to come from all the monetary inflation produced by the Fed Res money printing. This idea will create a revolution if implemented. A better idea would be to confiscate the money from all the beneficiaries that created the SS bankruptcy and monetary inflation. This would be all the banking cartel members and the corporate elite that have houses all over the world and keep the inflation con machine going.

Consolidation Is in the Air

I totally agree with everything you said. Check out my first blog entitled "Peak Oil Investing Mach 2 – Part 1- The Sixth Sense" - I think that you will find it along your line of thought. Let me know what you think of it.

Oil Prices: Higher or Lower in 2010?

Supply will not increase and will decrease due to peak oil and the land export model. When oil went to $147 there was little supply response and now with the world economies improving supply will not be able to keep up with demand. Even the IEA come out and spoke about the looming peak oil problem even though they think it will be later. It looks like supply peaked over the last 4 years and it is rolling over - forever. Tell me you opinion on this response.
Thanks

The Truth About Fossil Fuels and Renewable Energy

Mr. Harvard - you may be right but when you go to sell your stocks the dollars will be worth much less - maybe not much at all (hyperinflation). Sell 1 oz. of silver - wow it will be worth very very much.

The Truth About Fossil Fuels and Renewable Energy

You have absolutely no idea what peak oil means. Amazing because you know nothing if you don't understand that. I own some of the oil and gas stocks that you mentioned and I support more drilling everywhere but fossil fuels are not renewable and are running down in the world. The USA peaked in oil production in 1970 and has never reversed it. Most of the world's oil fields are in massive decline and the others are close. Why don't you know that - I give lectures to highschool kids, colleges & town halls about this and they understand this concept but yet you worked in the industry since 1972 and you don't understand that. Wow. Go read Matt Simmons material and get an education and stop being so smug & illiterate on the subject of peak oil.

Mid-Year Market Analysis: Treasuries, Gold, Crude, Equities

Richard,
Do you understand the concept of peak oil?? Have you factored any of its merit into your calculations? The decline rate of the world's oil fields is about 4 MBD/year and this will have the excess supply cleared out and demand exceeding supply very strongly in the next few years. Yes - oil price will go down as the markets correct but due to the structural decline curves and hyperinflation (monetary response) - oil is going to go way up in the future. Please comment on this.

Peak Oil: China vs. USA

Michael you sound just like me on every issue with peak oil, the federal reserve criminals and your investing insights. Your use of the word fascism to describe what is going on in our governemnt and central banking is exactly what I tell my friends all the time. I agree with you on everything. Bravo - excellent work and keep it going.

No Conspiracy Behind Tumbling Commodities

Oil is in a long term bull market with dips along the way - just like always. You failed to mention supply that is now falling every year big time while overall world demand is still rising 1%/year. Learn about Peak Oil and get real.

Megaprojects Predict Decline of Oil Production

Very good article - we are really at the peak now due to nat gas condensates in decline already. Our society is not prepared for this and get ready for the big problem to come.

The New Energy Cold War: The Warsaw-Tehran Connection

I agree with parts of the article but you have it a bit backwards. The USA & Europe (oil sucking countries) are the weak ones with Peak oil starting to slam us now and forever. Russia has what what we need and they have plenty of oil/nat gas for themselves. Especially enough to make whatever war machine materials they need. Now do you relalize why we are putting missles on their doormat. Checkmate*******5-4-3-... Study about peak oil and think about what is coming. Scary*******

Recapping My Great Calls on Oil

Amazing what a genius you are. I'll bet that the last 6 years of this oil bull you were constantly declaring oil was in a bubble. When oil goes to $300/barrel in 2011 and then $500/barrel in 2014 you will still be blowing the bubble horn. I suggest you get educated about why oil is in a very very long term bull - Peak Oil. I certainly hope that you are putting your money where your mouth is.

Is the Commodities Bull Market Over?

Right on - and don't forget about peak oil - it is here and is going to get worse. It takes oil to get everything into production and into markets like a network. Start buying soon and the dollar is doomed and will go to nothing.
