You and I have been suckers.

Mark Perry is comparing apples to BS.

And as for Senator Omaba, he is the best hope for our country in the next four to eight years. The OBAMA /Biden ticket will concentrate on ALL forms of alternative energy.

I listened to President Bill Clinton talk to us ( in Jim Thorpe, PA. ) this summer about clean coal.

Coal is available in PA and I hope to see more clean coal technology soon.

Also, see OIL SPECULATION FOR DUMMIES at:

Read the article 10 ways to invest in Utah , above. The comment on NG pricing in Utah is very interesting.

Also, when the Democratic Party wins the White House you can bet that tax breaks for alternative energy projects will be renewed and NG prices will go down because of excess supply from new discoveries.

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

Take the link and do something to stop the speculation in commodity futures.

Also, I use solar and my microwave to heat hot water. I have an empty 250 gallon fuel oil tank. I am looking into solar heat and electricity.

My electric bill in the summer is about $28.00 a month...I hardly need AC in NEPA.

Another thing to keep track of is does the company own any of the products it handles and if the company is involved in speculation in oil or NG futures. TCLP does not speculate and is well run.

1. The CFTC has not done a good job for years.
2. The futures industry is scamming the public.
3. Senator Joe Lieberman and Senator Sue Collins knew about the price manipulation in the commodities markets in 2000 and did nothing about it.
4. Professor Michael Greenberger's testimony to the Senate Committee on June 3, 2008 explains how we have been ripped off. ( Did you read Greenberger's report???)
5. What BrotherMaynard, above, said is true.

I don't know who you are, David, but your article is misleading.

You need to do some of your own research to get to the truth about speculating in commodity markets.

Start with Greenberger's report and read some of the articles written by Michael Shedlock on SA.

Also, GO TO:

www.stopoilspeculation.../

for an education on this subject.

By the way, my US senator, Bob Casey, a Democrat, voted for the Senate oil speculation bill and Senator Specter ( a GD Republican) voted against it.

The American public is being cheated. And I have done something about it.



Arlen Specter is a jerk. And so is John McCain.

The Enron Loophole, as they call it, was passed in Bill Clinton's administration and Congress never debated the bill that Phil Gramm snuck into other legislation.

I do know some helpful ratios and statistics like: book value, tangible book value, debt to equity, total debt to equity, return on assets, return on investment, gross margin, net margin, dividend yield, etc. They are all important to understand. All of this data must be taken into account...as well as the valuation of the underlying assets on the balance sheet and the liabilities before making an investment decision.

I am only familiar with ACAS and I do believe Malon Wilkes when he said that FAS157 has resulted in the decrease in asset values and that without a market for these assets they are hard to value but since these assets will be held to maturity, ACAS will get their money back.

I trust he is right. ACAS has a total debt to equity ratio of less than one and is selling for less than tangible book value ( ACAS has no goodwill or intangible assets on the balance sheet ).

Long ACAS, no other positions, no short selling at all ( I think short selling should be made illegal ).]]> Sun, 24 Aug 2008 14:42:32 -0400

I was a small landlord in Ct. I had all the troubles you mentioned but I was able to survive by not overextending myself. I had the old style bank...they held the loan, knew me personally and were helpful the one time I got into trouble.

The Ct.court system, however, was just like you mentioned. I used to complain about it to my state representative...she did nothing...she is now the Governor.

We are in more trouble than most politicians realize. I blame George Bush and the Republicans in Congress for most of our troubles.

But I do agree that Walton has made some bad investment decisions and Walton and other executives have paid themselves too much in salaries, bonuses, stock options, etc.

I think the BDC's are in for trouble but with prudent management, ALD, ACAS, MCGC will survive.

Long ACAS and MCGC. no position in ALD.

Also, Naked short selling is illegal according to writers on SA. As the SEC enforces the laws on naked short selling then ALD, ACAS, and MCGC common shares should rise.

Finally, I would make short selling illegal too. And I would increase margin requirements on trading commodity futures contracts to 50% for six month and then to 70% and make it illegal for hedge funds and pension funds to invest ( ie. speculate ) in commodities.
