But you could at least *think* before committing pen to paper (so-to-speak).
The fundamental premise for your argument, which is not even hedged with 'probably', is flawed.
Surely even you can see that.
Yes you touched a nerve, and yes you deserved the insult, but my ad hominem doesn't make your argument any less leaky.
And yes I do have one oil service stock, FTI, which bought about 3 days ago, and which frankly I'll be holding for about as long as it takes to get up to around 30-40 dollars, which could be 3 days or 3 weeks, 3 months or maybe 3 years.

Comparing dot.coms not even out of nappies on p/e's of 1000 with multinational oil service companies drilling wells miles beneath the ocean, just so that we the world can feed its addiction to the black stuff.

I mean, who is this guy, to just real off a bunch of stocks and their prices to us?

"United States Oil ETF (USO) is down to $23.45. Oil demand has fallen off a cliff. I don’t know how long this will last but it looks cheap at these levels."

LOL!!!]]> Thu, 19 Feb 2009 16:54:14 -0500

1. Does the piece tell us something that we don't already know and have not known for months
2. Will the information or insigths contained in the piece allow us to make money in some way.

I submit that had you asked those questions of the above piece, the answers would be no, and no.

So, all of you, how much exactly of the rise in the prices of these commodities is due to 'too much demand and not enough supply'? You all implicitly believe that that, and that alone, is responsible for the rises in the prices of these commodities. I am astounded. I mean, you all have *such insight* into the individual trades pushing up these prices. You are all very lucky.
Personally, I am inclined to see the consensus of views here as the nascent beginnings at least of a contrarian indicator.]]> Sat, 23 Feb 2008 12:00:13 -0500 Hmm.

Erm, markets did great in 03, yes, in percentage terms, from low to high, but that said they only recovered up to early 02's high after having cratered by 30+% throughout 02, and indeed in 04 they did nothing but go sideways. But, in any case, are we at the same stage in the cycle now as we were then (i.e. in early 03)? Have the markets dropped by 30% (yet)? Are the issues being faced the same as they were back then? Er, it looks to me like it's no, no and no. So, maybe you're right, but maybe, you're wrong.]]> Sun, 10 Feb 2008 09:20:13 -0500
