I just ran the data from EIA. He is definitely distorting stats to his advantage, but if you make the argument that we are talking about from the day he took office till now, then his statements are correct.

I really dislike the guy, and he is by no means a genius, but this is hardly a newsworthy gaffe. IMO, it does a disservice to either party when it tries to make a big deal out of innocent and harmless moments like this. He's had some dumb moments, but this isn't one of them.

I think you should refrain from using the word 'gouge' in your argument. Price gouging is illegal and is anti-capitalistic. Thus your first and second statements contradict one another. I sympathize with those who would argue that the oligopolic nature of the oil industry results in price...

That is the same guy that you hear on talk radio commercials all the time talking about correctly predicting collapses and another dire prediction. To anyone interested, a quick background check reveals that he is only correct about 50% of the time. His main investment strategy is long term...

You guys do realize that an inflated USD is about the best thing that could happen to America right now, right?

Not sure where this comment is coming from. You do realize that over 1/2 the people in this country make less than your $40K number right. In most states, a job around $20/hr is considered a legit job.

Wondering where you are coming up with this statement RCG. AFAIK Christie isn't considering a run yet and Romney and Huckabee are now the front-runners, and have been for awhile.

+1 Also, will someone please explain to me how the zero-sum portion of the market is capable of bringing about a complete collapse in the underlying? By definition, we are talking about contracts only. There is no creation of wealth in this arena, merely a transfer. Thus a...

Kevin Spacey's character on the movie "21". "Peelers are steelers."

I'm not an Obama supporter, but that was funny. Congrats on the witty reply.

Be careful about how certain Carl Wunsch seems in those statement, for these also belong to him. ".. it is very difficult to separate human induced change from natural change, certainly not with the confidence we all seek ...... clear-cut proof is not now available and may not be available...

Interesting article that I recently read from one of the most respected atmospheric science professors, and currently teaching at MIT. Really long article, but this quoted section I feel is a better representation of my previous arguments. Mine are simply logic based theory, as opposed to...

Whoah!. You need to realize that there is a huge difference between dollar cost averaging and martingale. Don't ever confuse the two. Dollar cost averaging has been shown to increase returns time and again for the average ignorant investor. Dollar cost averaging will almost always...

It seems that some are a bit confused as to the ideal conditions for a marti strat. In the martingale, the ideal is for a sideways choppy market. For some reason people seem to keep going back to this idea that the highest profit is obtained when the market runs against you big and then...

I had given you the benefit of the doubt there. Nobody with your history on this project is going to run an initial fan test during first takeoff. That is just dumb. Obviously you are going to throw this thing on a mount and run it up to 8,000 rpm.

In the current political climate, g-ment paid scientists absolutely gain value by advocating MGW. You have to consider that we aren't talking about the government as a whole. We are talking about 1/2 of the US government. Your statement about business and the electorate becoming...

He's only got a 30" diameter. Asymmetry might cause some vibration but shouldn't be enough at those specs to blow apart. I mean an earlier post alluded to the fact that he would be balancing the fan. If it is well balanced, the tensile strength calcs should be sufficient.

Saw the same thing. Field bet marti but the story is a bit different. Guy starts with $100 and after 6 straight losses and doubling he is at table max. Hands are shaking like crazy. Tries to make the seventh roll but the shakes cause him to fumble the dice, which skid across the felt and...

What I'm suggesting might be better represented by my own circumstances. I work as an R&D scientist (nothing to do with climate) for a Fortune 100 company in the US. It is absolutely in the best interests of the science if I am completely non-biased in all my research. But I don't choose...

I agree with your point in terms of a single company conducting research. In that case it would be a wash. The problem with this particular instance is that the main organizations 'calling the shots' and presenting the data to the public are g-ment funded, and that funding mostly comes from...
