You can pay too much for positive earnings and too much for the future (positive analyst estimates - assuming they are accurate). You're headed in the right direction. But "value" pitfalls must still be avoided. Most people agree that the Honda Accord is a good car. But you don't want...

Re: The windfall tax issue - saying a firm's tax bill will be slightly higher if crude oil spends "x" amount of time over $50/bbl or over $70/bbl is completely different than nationalization which essentially says "I now own you completely" or "I am - as of now - your 50% partner" or similar...

One more point - Do not forget that around six months ago, we went from leaders - including Paulson - saying "all is well" one day and turning on a dime and saying "gotta have $700 billion - right now." As the public gets more and more acclimated to this environment - it may be better...

First, I think zzt is right. The key factor is the time issue. Karl Marx did not want the principles of socialism to exist for a short period of time (say 2 to 5 years) and then revert back to some other system - particularly capitalism. Marx felt the principles of socialism should exist...

GE has a float of 10.4 BILLION Shares. Could you please explain to us how short selling, even naked short selling, could bring a firm with over 10 BILLION shares in float far below its true value ( vs. the fallout from retail consumers cutting back on buying appliances, govts. and...

Ah, yes .... Darien ... Great "suburb" - particularly if you like your "suburbs" tall and blonde ! ... :D

Turkeyneck - These are actually random pictures of NY Jet fans ... stunned that the Jets actually managed to lose to the Oakland Raiders, despite having recently acquired the talents of QB Brett Farve ...

... Ask him if he plans on lowering the price for the weed that he is selling - you know - because of the recession and everything ...

I found this article to be pretty interesting. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=ah839IWTLP9s

Naw, Spidey ... That guy is the guy that handles the orders for Goldman on the NYMEX floor. Their head trader is actually this guy ... http://www.stewielive.com/

The world already knows who I am. I'm Charlie Sheen, bitch. Now, be sure to watch my show "Two and a Half Men" on CBS. Mondays - 9 pm et. Have a nice day.

We are saying the same thing - you idiot. The answer to all of your questions is "yes" and " I know"

Point #16 The first time someone emphatically used point # 16 to "explain" to me that oil was "overpriced" as indicated by his "interpretation" of the "forward curve" - crude oil was at a mere $45 a bbl. $90/bbl. later - same stuff, different messenger. "If you believe in things...

All I know is that the NYMEX June crude oil futures were just below $122/bbl. when this article first came out. Just over 2 weeks later, NYMEX crude is at or near $135. I have a hard time buying the idea that "uber specs" can move a liquid market like crude oil (the cumulative open...

Well, with all due respect Mr. Ivanovich - here's your flak. Nevermind all of the arbitrage issues and etc. Just a basic question or two. According to the author, firms with long positions on the NYMEX want to see the prices higher. They are presumably maxed out at the 20,000 contract...

ly, I'm glad you posted the info re: the Brian Hunter affair. It will bring up several key points. First, the NYMEX natural gas market is basically a U.S. market. The 2004 US consumption of NG was .77 TW (terawatts). The NYMEX crude oil contracts address more of the global crude oil...

Let's start with the basics. If HESS refining buys crude oil from one of ExxonMobil's West African crude fields, they will have a contract that will incorporate an average of NYMEX or IPE settlement prices, with the beginning and end of the pricing generally straddling the deemed change in...

To me, the "why" issue is secondary to the "how" issue. In other words, first the technical question and then the philosophical. If you know your ICE product will be priced via the NYMEX close and the product is trading an equivalent of $1.00 over NYMEX - why would you BUY the ICE product...

I found the article interesting - but incomplete. I have questions. The author did not mention why the NYMEX prices would gravitate toward the "artificially" inflated ICE prices. Wall Street looks to "arb" almost anything. Seems they would look to "arb" the ICE prices down rather than the...

Thanks IndexSwing. Much appreciated.
