It's not like science just got around to looking at batteries. This has been an issue for quite some time. Do you have any idea how much the technology and patent would be worth to a corporation or what NASA could do with the technology?

While the 40-80 range is an overstatement, current battery technologies are negatively effected by extremes in temperature. Toyota and Honda battery warranty costs in Arizona/California/Nevada and the extreme cold states are higher for a reason. And please, do tell what future battery...

This poor slob will probably end up paying child support and alimony based on his $800K income, too. Marriage is a beautiful thing. I'm glad I learned at an early age. Unless she has her own wealth, do not get married. Why enter into a legally binding agreement designed by the devil himself?

http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=151123 I wonder if Mr. Zuccaro keeps a copy of his book on his desk at work.

If you think about it, that's almost 100% useless. The vast majority of investors recognized the tech bubble and the housing bubble. They weren't "caught off guard" and still they lost their ass. Hell, Schiff's predictions were almost spot on, and the word is he took a beating in '08, just...

Robert Zuccaro, the author of "Dow 30,000 by 2008! WHY IT'S DIFFERENT THIS TIME" is executive VP/chief accounting officer of National Financial Partners (NFP). National Financial Partners has seen their stock values decline 95% from its $55.64 high in 2007. I'm sure Mr. Zuccaro is feeling...

You're trying to be funny, right? http://wilco278.wordpress.com/2008/09/17/goldman-sachs-cuts-oil-price-prediction/

12,000? How about these fine authors: http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/1893958701/ref=sib_dp_pop_fc?ie=UTF8&p=S001#reader-link http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0609806998/ref=sib_dp_pop_fc?ie=UTF8&p=S001#reader-link http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0071351280/ref=sib_dp_pt#reader-link

So we're hovering around $40 right now, and a move to $65 in a year is a "swift, violent oil rally" in the eyes of the GS analyst? I wonder what adjectives they used to describe the recent oil bubble.

Who is your broker?

No, there's something wrong with the median price spike in the NY and Houston graphs. No way price moved like that in 2 or 3 quarters.

Well, if stupidity is the case, they say there are more PhDs per square foot in the federal reserve than any other building in the world, that doesn't say much for us as a society. Personally, I'm leaning towards fraud.

No, I'm not going that far, but I certainly see similarities. Both professions rely heavily on statistics and the best of the best in each profession have something that goes beyond the numbers.

Another quick question. Read any George Soros? Watch any of his interviews? Does he usually call his positions investments or bets?

Which game would you like me to start with? Poker or blackjack?

Quick trivia question. PIMCO's billionaire investor Bill Gross was one of the first blackjack players to do what?

It sounds like you don't understand gambling. To be more specific, it sounds like you don't understand professional gamblers that consistently make a profit. I rewrote your post to emphasize my point: To the readers who believe that professional gambling is really gambling I...

It looks like you're comparing the blood batch in Sep and Oct to Dec and Jan.

Like I said earlier, I profit in current market conditions just fine. While 2008 wasn't my best year ever, it was pretty close. But that's not the point. Naked short selling isn't the sole cause (obviously) of our current predicament, but the way it looks now, all the different flavors of...
