A Tale of Two Markets: Overvalued Stocks and the Declining Dollar

If you think Dow stocks are overvalued, don't even look at the S&P 500! The box springs are looking better every day.

Market Volume: Still an Unanswered Question

Market Volume doesn't mean squat, if it's the Chinese and Arabs doing the bulk of the trading. As long as we continue to import resources (Oil), and import finished and capital goods, our economy is in the toilet. Pledge allegiance to the New World Order.

Lumber Futures Spike as Demand for Commodities Increases

Bubble bath. Buy into the bubble, and take a bath!

Banning Derivatives and Other Such Foolishness

I'm all for derivatives that can be DIRECTLY tied to a tangible asset.
All others should be banned, as they are no more than a counterfeit
asset. Why not issue everyone a color copier and print your own $20 bills?

The Global Oil Scam: 50 Times Bigger than Madoff

P.S. We have to keep 2 wars going to soak up some of that excess
supply.

The Global Oil Scam: 50 Times Bigger than Madoff

If it takes a global village, the consumer is the idiot.

Are Oil and Natural Gas Cheap or Expensive?

As long as big oil and nuclear is subsidized more than all others, you simply can't make an informed decision. Half our military is used to either defend the oil fields, or the trade routes back to the US. Why aren't these costs entered into the equation. It's at least $1.50/gal.

Nuclear sounds better for the CO2 crowd, but 90% comes from Russia and it's former republic, Kazakhstan. Do we really want to end up kissing Bear A** like we do the Arabs?

It still baffles me that we realized long ago that we had to have renewable food supplies, and get off the hunter/gatherer bandwagon. Why can't we do the same for energy? After all, all energy is solar when you look at it in the grand scheme.

Meriwether: When Failed Genius Is Rewarded

As long as there's sheep to fleece, and we allow him to have shears,...

A Crude 10 Year Perspective: The DJIA, Oil and Gold

Fitz:
Stop confusing me with facts. Reliability = simplicity = 1/versatillity.
I'd like to see the price of beans use in price comparisons.
10 years ago the price was 20 to 25 cents/can, now 75 cents.

I agree we're buying the rope, on credit, to hang ourselves.
Our collapse will be much more spectacular the the Evil Empire's!

The Debt-Equity Clock Is Ticking - Morgan Stanley

I read somewhere that the P/E for the S & P 500 was 30% above
where the typical "bottom" of a recession is. So is recovery already "baked" in, or are in the first half of the "w" recovery?

Alright, Which Is It: Inflation or Deflation?

HTL

The word is stagflation, stagnant wages and spending, along with fiat
currency inflation. Your expertise seems to be in energy, but do you know
where to track what percentage of money coming into the stock market is from foreign sources? I think the recent market run up is a back-door dollar dump.

P.S. Looks like I'm not the only news-junkie insomniac.

California: Leveraged to Gasoline Prices and Nearing the Breaking Point

Things can only get worse. As long as we import resources instead of using what we have, and moving toward renewables, we are on the Highway to Hell. We deserve to be kicked in the arse.

UNG: The Effects of Contango

Thanks again for your excellent research and interpretation of this minefield of a ETF.

Is $1000 the New Floor for Gold?

I stumbled across CEF in SA. Short of putting in a floor safe, it's my favorite way to hedge inflation.

Senate Republicans: Give Us Nuclear, Offshore Drilling, We’ll Consider Cap-and-Trade

Trading terrorist oil for commie nukes isn't in America's best interest.
Over 90% of uranium is from Russia and former Soviet republic
Kazakhstan. What little that is produced is already heavily subsidized
from initial dig to power plant decommission. If wind and solar would have been subsidized in the past as much as oil and nukes, we'd
be on the home stretch for energy independence.
