  • Are Oil and Natural Gas Cheap or Expensive? [View article]
    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.

  • A Crude 10 Year Perspective: The DJIA, Oil and Gold [View article]
    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 [View article]
    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? [View instapost]
    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 [View article]
    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.

  • Is $1000 the New Floor for Gold? [View article]
    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 [View article]
    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.

  • The Big Picture [View instapost]
    I also laugh at all these exotic "solutions" to our energy problems. We refuse to use the stuff we have in favor of stuff we don't. Hydrogen won't work for personal transportation because of the large and expensive tank required to carry a usable amount of fuel. A tank big enough to run my F-150 450 miles would take up the entire bed!

    Why no mention of methane? With our status as the biggest waste generators on the planet, this looks to be a more practical follow-on to natural gas. The changeover from CNG to methane would be minimal.

  • Energy Will Lead the Next Commodity Shortage [View article]
    If Americans were charged the price of the war on terror, and the defense of the shipping lanes to get that terrorist oil back to the homeland, other forms of energy would not appear so overpriced.

    "Green energy" is not an expense, it's an opportunity. As long as we show the rest of the world that we can't or won't change, they have no reason to either.

    If the "free market" works so well, why are we in this mess?
    We can see the handwriting on the walls, but refuse to read.

  • Natural Gas Momentum Likely to Continue - Blackmont [View article]
    I'm thinking the run up on NG has more to due with the perception that the economy is improving than with the coming of fall. Earnings season vs heating season. If only I had one of those Biff almanacs
    from Back To The Future for 2010!

  • Want to Own Silver? Forget About SLV [View article]
    Your first sentence says it all.
    Why not let Hugo Chavez run the Federal Reserve?

    H.T.:

    Have you heard anything about UNG buying longer term contracts?

  • Why the Sudden Run Up in Natural Gas Prices? [View article]
    I too, suspect manipulation. Common sense says the impending
    issue of additional shares should be driving the price down 15 to 20 %.
