Have you considered the impact speculation had on the price of Tulips in 17th century Holland? The 'quant' on 60 Minutes called it right. If the recession began 4Q07 and Oil demand fell while supply increased the law of demand/supply says the price goes down. The time lag in price decline from July to recent is a matter of financial engineering to de-lever speculators before the 'market' understood what was happening. The Wall Street centered financial sector is the source of the current credit crisis and the speculative (artificial) rise in Oil prices over the past year. ]]> Mon, 12 Jan 2009 19:12:12 -0500

3. No doubt that further head-count reduction would be necessary even after the sale of MEN
4. Low probability given that NT can reverse split shares (AGM in May) before the 6 month time to remedy
5. Not going to affect NT or move the stock price.]]> Wed, 31 Dec 2008 16:18:37 -0500 2. The game plan is to reduce costs and head-count, M's departure may possibly "boost" share price.

The investment objective of USO is for changes in percentage terms of the units’ net asset value to reflect the changes in percentage terms of the spot price of West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) light, sweet crude oil delivered to Cushing, Oklahoma (“WTI light, sweet crude oil”), less USO’s expenses.]]> Thu, 25 Dec 2008 15:53:42 -0500

Tim Duy's comments beg the question: when are we going to learn that leaving economic controls in the hands of few rich and powerful only leads to wealthier and more powerful rich and powerful?

Great American Yankee Doodle Dandy families and their Cannon Fodder conscript children are immersed in the jingoism and rhetoric of the 4th of July while the captains and generals of US enterprise steal, defraud and walk-away from accountability on a super-nova scale.

If Obama focuses on that "commey" technique of economic planning and eschews the noise on the center-right the world may have a chance to rebuild a sustainable economy based on green technologies, better roads, bridges, civic infrastructure and jobs for those less inclined to be hired as brokers, traders and professors with black-box trading techniques for the next LTCM.
