Oil's Supply and Demand

I recently started positions in commodity (USO, GLD, DBB) and clean energy (PBW) ETFs. Your article is the best that I have seen on the "oil speculation bubble vs. supply/demand" argument. I'm very grateful that you spent the time to help us poor novices out there sort through this mess.

Every once in a while Seeking Alpha receives these clear instructional posts, which is why I check SA every day.

Keep the the good work !!! Who needs CNBC with posts like these?

Bernanke Actually Laid Out Monetary Policy in Berlin

Thanks Keith. Your article is a refreshing look at an over-optimistic market. As you said on Aug 23 (in "Was the Correction Just a Week Ago?"), fear did not last long enough and it returned to greed too quickly to be a healthy correction. I recently sold the last of my equities and am now (to quote your Aug 23 article): "Left behind to watch the stamped run over the cliff". I'm still waiting.

EMC Corp.'s a Good Way To Play VMware

Did anyone else freeze in front of your computer the during VMW's initial trading day because the price was so high? How many of you would have bought 3500 shares at $29 from your "brokers across the street" if you could have? Forget these fancy plays on EMC. Just get yourself broker buddies like Steve has for the next heavily hyped IPO !!!
