Air Products & Chemicals: Worth Considering at These Prices

In hindsight, your call was profoundly incorrect.

Air Products & Chemicals: Worth Considering at These Prices

Ouch ! Sure wasn't a good time to buy as suggested. Through the floor since this article.

U.S. Wind Power Doubles to More Than 20 Gigawatts in Two Years

Great, but when you say "can generate 20 GW's" I believe you mean the theoretical amount, not the amount considering the wind stops blowing sometimes. I believe that is quite a bit lower.

Wind is awesome.

Miscalculating Inflation: The Link to Global GDP

Check your stats. You said china+india were less than 5% of world GDP and then turned around and put world GDP at 66T and China at 7T. That makes china > 10% right there. Bam ! My mind can't believe any of the article as I can't see through the haze of that huge inconsistency. Everything based off that gaff must be torched as well.

Another Depression?

Paul* "first time I read a full article on SA" smacks of someone not willing to read any article except those that agree with his current opinion ... which is cemented in concrete. I'm not saying you are not right, I'm saying you just TOLD us "I have my blinders on". Why should anyone agree except through means other than yourself. Make sure your eyes are open.

Inflation Index: Real Estate vs. the Dollar

Real Estate should be included in inflation but it would be disingeneous to do so at this point. You can't count it on the way down if you didn't count it on the way up. Inflation from 2000-2007 would have averaged around 8% yearly had you done so. Instead, the gov't cherry-picked what to count to minimize the figure. Switching the procedure to whatever minimizes the figure *now* would be a whole new level of cherry picking.

Southern California Home Sales Rise: No, That's Not a Typo

You are right christian. Let's put Paris in the white house. She really is considerably more competant than anyone in the house or the senate and is a better candidate. The insiders are 100% bs and there's no getting around or over that.

Why Big Mortgage Losses Are Here To Stay

Northvic, the market determines whether you acted responsibly or not. It appears you did, *big* time. If you couldn't tolerate being underwater for a while, you had no business buying the thing. If you could, then you don't have a complaint.

Why Big Mortgage Losses Are Here To Stay

"As a result, homes are going into foreclosure which, if there was any sense in the world, would never be foreclosed on. No one gains by this, but it happens every day."

No one gains ! Bull. Those of us the saw the ridicilous actions of the market and acted gain. We bailed at the peek just as those in the stock marker do ... and expect to be rewarded for calling it right.
We went short the market and if we buy in later... the more cascading defaults the better. It's not the gov't job to make sure nobody loses. If they do this they should be guaranteeing that stock prices never go down.

Should We Be Thinking About Relative Deflation?

Someone is investing with rose-colored glasses. You can only *pretend* to define inflation away. Inflation is rampant.

Second Worst Month For Commodities Ever

Yea, log is silly and would be so here

Now It Really Is Time for Federal Agencies to Act on Housing

Should there be a disclosure that Vikram is long on housing ?

The Ethanol Boom's Unintended Consequences

Complete b*llsh*t. Farmers simply are not feeding their livestock that. They wouldn't eat most of that and couldn't digest it if they did. Tell me corn is more expensive than candy bars, right. First section turned me off - couldn't get past that. If he just feels free to make crap up ... forget it.

Britain's Nuclear Energy Plan: Too Little, Too Late?

Generate your electricity from large, stationary fuel cell plants and that's as if fuel reserves are half again as large as what they actually are. That can buy many, many years.
