Someone should come out with a Palin ETF... or perhaps an Ultra-Short version?]]> Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:27:26 -0400 The rest looks like good choices in a volatile market. Todd worked for BP so those shares probably came with the job.

I have noticed that there are far fewer of them than before, and the ones that have survived concentrate on popular novels. In other words, in the average used book store there might be a handful of dusty travel and history books waiting for me to discover but there are a vast quantity more of popular romance novels and fantasy fiction.
We live in a disposable society and if you are not an aficionado of whats in the top ten -- or perhaps top 100 -- hits then you are generally out of luck.]]> Thu, 03 Jul 2008 13:04:02 -0400 I am one of those rare people who spend vacation time browsing used book stores.

I know that they are good and easy to use but they are not perfect and they are way expensive. I make a spreadsheet and check all the numbers before making a major buying decision; BUT Apple's computer marketing IS NOT aimed at me. Most people buy htese things based on emotion. (Apple really does make their darn products look sexy).

I suspect that investment web sites such as Alpha attract a high number of fact and figure and chart people like me; but most investors make decisions by poking a finger at a list of funds provided by their IRA. Or perhaps they make a decision according to which company's CEO was being praised in Time or Newsweek last week. We can't ignore these folks buying on emotion simply because we might be a bunch of number geeks. Those other investors are not wrong just different.

PS: I really loved that DELL guy a few years ago. He was way cool and too bad that he jumped the shark or whatever happened to him.]]> Fri, 27 Jun 2008 10:05:42 -0400 I am a computer geek and I think that Apple computers are way oversold.

My only complaint is that you make it seem easier than it is to build pipelines out to the West coast of British Columbia (BC) Canada. It is roughly the same distance from Edmonton to Vancouver (south coast of BC), Kitimat / Prince Rupert (north coast) or South Dakota. But it is much, much easier to plan, build and get approval for pipelines across the flat open prairies than it is to do the same through the very narrow mountain valleys between Alberta and the coast.
PS: Most readers would probably have found it interesting to have Kitimat and Prince Rupert placed on your map.]]> Thu, 26 Jun 2008 10:51:07 -0400 People here sometimes forget how difficult it can be to get all that crude to the places where it is needed.
