Weekly Market Notes: Don't Fight the Fed

Passing a 2000 page health reform bill (who knows what else is in it) so as to get home for the holidays. Hail to our professional pols-- their job is done! Reminds me of dogs who take a dump, and are so proud of themselves they jump up and down and run in circles.

Say ‘Howdy’ to the New Texas ETF

State ETF Funds?? What's next. Why doesn't someone start a Congressional ETF so I can short the professional pols?

Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

Extending the homebuyers credit beyond first time buyers just shifts taxpayer dollars to frequent flyers from those who choose to live in one place-- another resdistribution of wealth. Also I've read in the Economist and Time magazines surveys of first time purchasers indicate that a large percentage would have bought their homes regardless of the credits. And this doesn't even include the four year olds who claimed the credit.

Wednesday Outlook: Commodities, Global Markets

Reading Seeking Alpha's Wall Street Must Knows today (and for most of the week), you'd think the market could only be going down fast and soon. Also anyone missing earnings is being crushed versus selective upsides for earnings winners. I think the large volume on down days is a big tell of what will happen after the October year ends.

True September Unemployment 14%: Our System Is Broken

Good analysis. I feel we're in the midst of the biggest, fastest transfer of wealth from the private to the public sector ever, and we all know that once the professional politicians get hold of that wealth, it will go to the people they think offer the best chance for their own reelection; not what's best for America. Term limits and real representatives of the people are what's needed.

Energy Myths for the 21st Century

Tack-
You are right on point. We have enough energy reserves in the form of natural gas and shale oil to remain energy independent for many moons, if allowed to develop them. The professional pols in Washington are only interested in moving more money from the private sector to their control, where they can redirect the wealth to those who put them there in the first place.

MLPs After Their Worst Year

MLPS are one of a few remaining dependable venues for income investors. Makes you wonder when the pandering professional pols in Washington will go after this as a tax shelter?

Natural Gas: Extreme Contango Suggests Caution for E&P Companies

Great article.

Why don't we ever hear from the API or other natural gas lobbyists pushing our professional pols in Washington towards natural gas as the new "green fuel"?

Maybe they could push for government subsidies (such as for farmers) to NOT produce to preserve the excess capacity for the future while the infrastructure is being developed to replace coal fired electric plants and CNG propelled autos?

Another Natural Gas Bull Sticks His Neck Out

When will the professional politicians own up to the fact hat natural gas is cheap, environmentally clean and in the US??? Start subsidising the development of CNG engines for autos, and all public transportation and city/state vehicles. I'm afraid they just can't "eat crow" and admit that big oil has the answer to much of our energy problems.

Is the Market Correction Finally Here?

With all those things pointing to a market decline, isn't that why the wise guys are still propping the market up, trying to get everyone back in before pulling the plug?

Celebrating the 'Recovery': I'm Disgusted

Lets see- medicare and social security are nearing collapse, unemployment is still rising, our national debt is at an all time high (and still rising), we're told that we need social medicine, can't keep our borders secure, are mired in Afghanistan, ....but LETS PARTY, the recession is over. WE, the professional politicians in Washington have saved you. Thats all you'll hear until the next election.

Chevron Looking Up: As Sound as Any Other Investment

Do you think the potential Ecuador(I think it was Ecuador) lawsuit should have any impact on the recommendation?

Do Lawmakers Really Understand the Energy Markets?

What about natural gas? Read the article in Thursday's Financial Times to see whar effects our professional politicians ignorance may have on natural gas producers and their hedging programs. Congress doesn't have a clue about energy markets.
