I can't believe many of the posters on this thread are really traders.... and certainly not oil traders. Guys, you can bid up the future price all you want - the spot price is set by supply and demand. (by the way, in case you haven't noticed, oil is in backwardation) Are people actually falling...

Hopefully nobody is falling for this crap. I only read the first sentence of his post and it is obviously a scammer - and not a very subtle one either. If anyone out there is even considering this nonsense, you should stay away from trading in any form. To be brutally honest - if you are...

Neke, great thread. Thanks for having the bravery to post this. When I first stumbled on the thread and saw your returns from last year, I thought you might be fudging the numbers so I read thru all your posts with great curiosity to see if you had another exceptional year. Well at least you are...

I may be missing something, but the constant talk about "projected consumption" and a disconnect from "projected production" has always seemed like total nonsense to me. Consumption will ALWAYS equal production minus an insignificant amount of storage. If you want to know the increase in oil...

Isn't it odd how prices go up when you goose the money supply? Well, the bankers would like to thank the 99% of the world populace who remain oblivious to this fact.

Good post, thanks. My 2 cents for what it's worth: Everyone expects that as oil price rises, more of these difficult fields will be developed. It certainly does set a price bottom though. My guess is that only time will tell what the true extraction cost and reserves are for this "find". This...

I'm no fan of Al Gore, but the entity to blame for ethanol is the same now as it has been for 40 years - the farm lobby. Look on the sunny side though, high food prices mean fewer dumb people having kids. Maybe in a few generations the population will be smart enough to elect politicians who...

ninjas I'm not afraid of no stinkin ninjas - what worries me is the starving rice zombies sent by the Illuminatti.

Crude will hit $40 about the time they come out with a "new dollar" worth 100 of the old.

I remember some shill writer in the WSJ saying gold couldn't possibly maintain price when it hit $500 an oz a few years ago. You've got to learn to ignore the noise from confused trend speculators. Look at the fundamentals - M3 velocity, oil/gold ratio. And yes, the Central Banks will always...

Getting back to his original question "HOW to buy gold" - here is a useful video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glRYsCCltO4 The problem with ETFs and futures is that you are taxed as the dollar inflates, whereas you are not taxed on physical gold until you sell. As for the debate on...

That is one of the wisest and funniest things I've read in awhile.

You can not tie your monetary policy to metal or mining industry. [/B] Gee, how did free markets exist for 1000s of years if you can't use metal as money? Fact is, we no longer have a "free market" as long as banks can counterfiet currency and the Fed can manipulate rates. There are...

Can anyone enlighten me with theories as to why the yen has such low interest rates and also such low M3 growth? Aren't those two factors almost always inversely correlated? Are there other examples or is the yen the only currency in history to sustain this odd combination for so long?

Great topic, too bad it got kind of hijacked by AS. I try to be vegetarian myself but people like AS really scare me away from the diet. They are so common in the veg community that I seriously wonder if the behaviour isn't related to some dietary deficiency. Anyway, my 2c is that native...

Think about it, every stock eventually goes belly up. Look at the big picture and I think it is reasonable to conclude that it is ultimately a scam on the average investor. That doesn't mean you can't make money trading it. I don't think anyone was claiming that.

IMO the main reason oil is in backwardation is hedging of a great number of development projects. As for "these fools"... sounds like you have the whole situation figured out Areal. Guess you are going to make a fortune selling these contracts - oops you didn't try that already did you?

Gotta love those business consultants. Oh, how edgy and insightful. How about this advice, save your money and time by not sitting in tedious seminars listening to business "experts" with one size fits all prepackaged solutions. Just my opinion but at least I didn't charge for it.

Gotta agree with triple x Since when did anyone think we have free markets? The entire concept of central banking has always been sold to the public as a way to "stabilize currency and economic swings" - in other words everyone freely admits that central banking is a market manipulation...
