    How to be a Guru in 10 easy Steps

    Jury nullification (what y'all is taking about) could have been written out of the constitution.. But it wasn't because they knew that there would be times when a community would believe that the "Law" was simply wrong. Even the framers didn't trust the government. Maybe they really were...

    Armed Robber Who Got Shot Holding Up Party Store With Knife Sues Party Store

    The legal grounds for a claim of self-defense varies a lot from state to state. I'd say (but can't be sure) that in the majority of jurisdictions, you lose the right once the threat is gone. So, if you get mugged and pull a Vulcan chain gun from your trench coat and the mugger runs away, you...

    ‘Peak Oil’ Is a Myth & Waste of Energy

    I'm not a peaker and I don't think my ax needs grinding today, so maybe it's worth looking at what variables are involved without trying to quantify the impact each may or may not have - bearing in mind that for everyone we can think of there are probably a few more we haven't. 1. drilling...

    How to be a Guru in 10 easy Steps

    Why do I get the feeling I'm at grifter school? I'm kidding. Very informative. Thank you.

    How to be a Guru in 10 easy Steps

    The main thing is lots of impressive sounding (if meaningless) jargon. No one will believe you're smarter than they are if they can actually understand anything you say. I tried marketing my 'goat entrail' system once, but it didn't have the right cache. So now I'm going with 'stochastic...

    Who's got the stones to go short crude?

    Maybe, but they sure as hell know how to flush you out. Volatility for the day was close to 10% (low to high). And let's conveniently forget to mention the after hours. It's been a couple minutes since I checked so who TF knows, it might be down 10%. That was a joke, I say, a joke son...

    should this worry me

    I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in, but for now . . . I had heard (Bloomberg I think) that the supply of silver is determined in large part by how much the various mines want to pull out of the ground. In other words, it's not truly scarce. I mean it is, but at least one...

    Who's got the stones to go short crude?

    I don't know what's going on, but I almost whip-lash following the DTO chart this morning. I've got an 8% trailing stop that got executed by just 7 cents before it bounced back just over $3. Damn. All in about 15 min. I think I'm just going to watch and play with my chips.

    ‘Peak Oil’ Is a Myth & Waste of Energy

    Great article. That's what my gut has always told me, but, being a gut, it's not too articulate. Need smart head . . . make words . . . (rumble) What I like is the fact that the argument gets shot down before you even mention LNG or coal gassification The latter probably isn't a great...

    US Reaction to Hero's Welome for Terrorist

    The one good thing about peak oil is the fact that these camel-shit-kicking mother fuckers can go back to sucking sand once the wells run dry. And I hope the pigmen behind these types of abominations take the ride back to the stone age with them.

    Steep drop in China exports shrinks balance surplus 32 % YTD

    Maybe so. If you have some hard figures on commodity utilization, stockpiles, etc. then please share. All the media reports I've seen and heard either state or imply that China has been pigging out at the commodity trough and amassing multi-year stockpiles. Some things are understandable...

    Who's got the stones to go short crude?

    A few months ago when I heard that NG was low compared to crude and everyone was thinking that meant NG had to go higher, I was thinking just the opposite, that crude had to go lower. I didn't move on that trade because my timing is so bad it both sucks and blows. But with regulation of...
