Asset growth is fine but details on those assets, especially reserve cost and quality of reserves for  an E&amp;P company are very critical and worth detailing in such a report.  I'd sure like to see your evaluation.<br/>Again thanks<br/>Hank]]>

This is NOT an equity play and those people don't tend to invest in NLY.<br/>The  zero impact escapes me because more shares for the DIV to spread over,,, I guess I don't understand REITS!<br/>Thanks<br/>Hank]]>

        <![CDATA[I disagree with goldenretiree that Jobs is one in 100 million, how about one in a billion. He not only has the ability to see what the market wants, but how to properly design it, how to price it, and make it desireable, as well as make it hard to copy and has the unique ability to be involved in depth at the proper points of design and launch so the product is a success. I don't like it that most of his launches are crippled but these provide the springboard and market hype for the next better one, substantial stepwise improvement. His failures trained him well, few repeats. Without someone like Jobs AAPL has all the talent and money to become another Microsoft. Guys like Jobs are born that way! Just try to find an equal replacement, remember the Pepsi guy!<br/>Hank<br/>PS  Steve, thanks for the analysis.  How about running the model with higher and lower discount factors.]]>

It's also good for market speculators who have used it to turn big fast bucks.  We must convert all home heating,  land &amp; perhaps ocean based transport to natural gas and save oil for air transport.  However oil and gas were made and no one knows for certain, there are theories, but there is no more being made.  Consumption continues and the peak is coming.]]>

It's also good for market speculators who have used it to turn big fast bucks.  We must convert all home heating,  land &amp; perhaps ocean based transport to natural gas and save oil for air transport.  However oil and gas were made and no one knows for certain, there are theories, but there is no more being made.  Consumption continues and the peak is coming.]]>

        <![CDATA[Interesting report.  One item that is missing is the executive management leaving.   The question is, &quot;Was the main reason for leaving, better opportunities elswhere or internal problems&quot;?  In either case it is not a good sign for COP. One the major differences between the majors is the depth, strength and team commitment of executive management.  Any factual insight and opinion should be added.<br/>Hank]]>

      <title>Time to Go Long Natural Gas and Short Oil?</title>

        <![CDATA[The ratio is not irrelevant to a user or the economy but since I'm not a trader I can't make a rational comment on that part.  It takes about 5600 cu ft of nat gas to get the same amount of energy you get out of burning a barrel of oil.  On a Btu basis with gas at $4.00 you get about a million Btu  whereas with oil at $72.00 per Bbl you pay $12.4 per million Btu.  Oil commands a premium because it is scarcer, not as domestic as nat gas and more subject to geopolitcal problems.  Crude is also easier to transport and store and currently the main source of power for transportation land, sea and air.  However for power plants,  peak shaving and some base nat gas has a huge price advantage over oil but not coal, but it is cleaner burning.  The recent shale production of nat gas caught just about every one unaware of its extent and impact. Ten years ago the Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline from the North Slope had to be built but shale delayed that.  All the big easy oil has been found and adding reserves is costly.  The old tradtional ratio of about 11 is probably what this ratio will oscillate around until we know more and knowing more may never come to fruition. If the country is sensible and makes a concerted effort to convert and make vehilces to use nat gas as well as an infrastructure to &quot;nat gas up&quot; we'll see some good progress.  But unless there are more and longer lasting crude crisis, nothing will happen.  But  traders had an uncanny ability to get crude to $147 last July and would have taken higher but couldn't.  Can it happen again, maybe, because no one got caught and sentenced.]]>

      <title>Vale's Iron Ore Base in Brazil Is Key - RBC</title>

        <![CDATA[I spent several days at the mine and was impressed by the operation of the mine, railroad and port.  The iron ore reserves are much like the Suncor oil sands in Alberta, on top or very near the surface.  No dry hole exploration here.  Very good people who know what they are doing at the mine.  I don't know about the corporate management though and would be interested in hearing about it.<br/>Hank ]]>

      <title>What Is the Break-Even Price for Natural Gas Producers?</title>

        <![CDATA[Very good paper on gas costs in Alberta.  My take is that it's a nominal US$5.00 making Alta gas non-competitive in US markets and may result in shut-in wells in Alberta.  Now if the best US producers break-even is $3.00 we're probably going to see more marginal US wells shut in.  If these estimates are in the ballpark and US consumption continues we should see sales price increase which will result in shut in well back on line.  Then prices will drop and this cycle will continue to repeat with conitually vacillating in the short term.  In the longer term we should see prices rising because of reduced drilling.  The longer term window will show further prices increase as Obama's carbon initiatives favor gas over coal in electric power generation and transportation conversions.<br/>Hank]]>
