Lehman Bankrupt, Merrill Swallowed, AIG Wilting: What It All Means

the financial system needed something like this to happen. Banks should know better than to gamble like they did. Not only will this correct the markets, but it will teach top management not to get so greedy like they did. I agree with the first poster, it is hard to predict that we are anywhere close to the bottom. At the rate the bad news is coming out now (basically hourly) the bottom feels far away.

Should We Listen to Boone Pickens on Oil?

Boone Pickens plan isn't supposed to change this would this week or this year. The price of oil may be nearing $100 today, but it won't be several years down the road. That is when his plan will matter as right now he is only building the infrastructure for a world of high oil prices to come. So yes we should listen, if things go his way, he could even become an American hero .. like Mr. Ford.

Forget $100 a Barrel - Oil Will Plummet to $30

I completely disagree, $30 just doesn't make sense. There are far too many cars on the road for this to happen. What about emerging market demand and depleting oil. The bubble may be bursting but it certainly isn't as big as you think.

Natural Gas & Wind Power - The Pickens Plan

As much as I support the plan, I wonder how Pickens will be able to convert cars to use Natural Gas. Feuling companies won't want to carry natural gas if no there are no cars on the road using natural gas and at the same time, people won't buy NG feuled cars if there arent any feuling stations. It will be a very difficult transition, but I think if Pickens can solve this dilemma, his plan should work!

Is the Commodities Bull Market Over?

Great post.

Fundamentally I agree that commodities are still very much bullish. I read another couple articles today on similar topic to yours.

On TradersCorner, this post agrees that fundamentally, Oil and Gas are bullish:

Secondly, a post on the Stock Research Portal Blog by Ian Campbell questions whether Oil statistics are meaningful, and if meaningless oil
statistics are the reason we see so many price swings in the Oil market.

$200 Oil: Before Decade's End, Not Year's

So many great points are brought up in this article. Very good article!

Yes, Oil Prices Can Actually Go Down

Sadly oil is here to stay, and we will probably have to deal with higher oil prices, not lower. Hopefully when the new administration comes in to power, things will change.

Wind's Our Future, but Natural Gas Is Now

Wind power just keeps becoming a more practical choice to provide energy to North America. Oil is running out and changes need to be made. However I'd imagin persuading the car companies and gas stations to start using natural gas would be the hardest part of Mr. Boone's plan. The outlook for natural gas is looking quite positive.

A Supply Side Problem: Oil's High Price is Here to Stay

Nice article.
High oil prices have become the norm as everyone has adjusted or is adjusting to cope with them. Usually it means less income to dispose on personal purchases. And there are too many people making profit off these high oil prices, there is no reason to drop oil prices now if people are still willing to buy it at such a high price.

Weekly Commodities Outlook: August 4th – August 8th

After such a strong downturn, commodities should be recovering by year-end. Goldman Sachs put oil at a price of $150 a barrel by December, which doesbn't seem as much of a stretch.

Everyone Wants the Commodity Bubble To Be Pricked

I wouldn't say there is a bubble. For the most part, the run up is a genuine consequence of a spike in demand over the last few year due to the emerging markets. One would expect the run up to continue in the near and far future, as demand will increase once Africa can stand on its feet.

The Volatility of Natural Gas

I agree that Natural Gas has been volatile in the past, however it seems like NG in the long run can be a very safe place to make an investment. It is quickly becoming a preferred energy resource. Lets just hope manipulation is kept under control.
