The U.S. dollar is trading near a 6-month high against the euro, and it is helping the market sentiment. At the same time, we feel that the low price for oil and gold, caused mostly by the stronger dollar, while helping the markets, is becoming irrational. Selling oil and oil stocks does not help address the supply/demand misbalance issues that caused oil prices go up in the first place. Today, the International Energy Agency raised the forecast for energy demand for the next year as it expects Chinese oil consumption to go up after the Olympics. The forecast was increased by 70,000 barrels, to a total of 87.8 million barrels a day.

This just does not add up with OPEC saying that it is considering cutting oil production at its September meeting on the basis of oversupply. What is clear is that OPEC is much more interested in high oil prices than low oil prices; in the long run, oil fundamentals remain the same.

Think The Oil Boom Is Over? If So, You Could Be Giving Up The Biggest Gains Of Your Investment Career!

Right now, Americans are celebrating lower oil prices and foolishly selling off oil stocks.
Why do I say foolishly? Because, as oil executives have said in recent months, $100 is the minimum oil price required to bring new oil supplies online. Any dip below those levels would be self-correcting -- it would mean no new oil to meet growing demand. It would also postpone the development of alternative energies. The result would be that prices catapult considerably higher, very quickly.
In other words, the recent drop in oil prices isn't the end of the commodities boom. More likely it's the last great buying opportunity.

Vwinner statement on July 1, 2008

"In closing- both companies are great companies to own- and both have proven to be very resilient (and CLOSE to recession-proof). MA will continue to do well but V will do better and better over time. Both companies report at the end of this month- but I truly believe that this earning's report will mark a decoupling of V from MA. Check back one month from today to see if I was right. "

Vwinner statement after V Q2 earnings:

"1. MA results really shook V holders up- as MA has been touted all along as having the 'better valuation' and being 'cheaper'. If you go back and read my post "V decouples from MA"- you will see that I discussed the Amex settlement. I was actually in shock that analysts didn't account for that- but this shows us why we must do our homework. Minus the settlement charge- MA's numbers would have been respectable- and I am also surprised that more investors don't see that as well."

Just gets to show you that we all make mistakes> That means everyone!!

"Most of you following V have also followed MA and seen how V track's many of MA's movements. (AXP and DFS are true credit cards- and have to contend with an enlarged set of difficulties). Most of you have heard over time from a number of pundits including Jim Cramer, and Fast Money- that MA is a 'better' or 'cheaper' play. As you will see in coming months- they will be proven wrong for a number of reasons. While their argument may have been valid- the validation of their viewpoint is based on a number of factors which are changing rapidly."

With the commodities sector out of favor for awhile nice to see I am making money with Visa.
Don't worry V, I will do just fine. Family is what really counts and what really matters. Meaning I could give a f*** what you think. But don't forget to take your medication. You know, the one that keeps you thinking you know everything and the rest of us are just jerks. Good luck my friend. ]]> Mon, 11 Aug 2008 11:27:09 -0400 I am glad for Visa.
