Didn't they predict $200 oil last summer?

http://ca.news.finance.yahoo.com/s/05062009/2/biz-finance-analysts-new-oilsands-development-become-viable.html Assuming oil stays above $60/barrel (which I'm not sure it will but for arguments sake we'll go with that), I'm very bullish on Petro Canada/Suncor as my oilsands play. This merged...

This thread is just like a car accident. You don't want to look but you can't turn away either.

Very good post indeed. Interesting stuff. Props.

Very true my friend.

Fully nude strippers who will do some CRAZY shit for a buck. All 100% legal up here (but not prostitution).

Canada's new trade deals with the EU (not withstanding the seal hunt ban) and China are ensuring we are working toward diversification with our global trade. But no question about it, USA is our largest trading partner and will continue to be and needs to be in the future. The protectionist...

I'm sure the CEO of a top oil company knows a thing or two about oil prices and is able to make an educated guess on where price might go in the future. He's certainly more credible than you, or most other traders for that matter.

This is one of the reasons I decided to get educated on money management and the like. When I first setup my RRSP years ago (401K in USA), I had a financial advisor tell me "this is how much money you will have at this age, and this is how much at this age, and when you retire you will have...

If you are going to quote Doug Kass, at least let others know this is what Doug Kass said instead of trying to pass it off as being your own words...

He was also almost 100% in cash for the 1987 crash and greatly outperformed the markets and most other managers during his hedge fund days. But everyone seems to dwell on a bad call or two made on his TV show. I'm neutral Cramer, but at least acknowledge that he has done some great things with...

Very interesting charts as well. I wonder why the temperature shot up so high around 1920?

Very interesting article. I recommend reading it, it debates both sides of the global warming debate in regards to ice melting on Mars.

Yep you are correct. Strong correlation. BP CEO sees possible $200/barrel in ~5 years. http://www.smartmoney.com/breaking-news/on/?story=ON-20090605-000595-0650&afl=yahoo Not many of us are thinking that far ahead, but it is interesting to keep in mind.

What an absurd statement. By your logic, anyone who hates George Bush (and I'm willing to bet you do), hates all white people. Get a grip.

Yeah I suppose what you're saying is true. But the point I am trying to make is that until someone produces some type of evidence that this is occuring, I have no reason to believe it. Irrationality in the markets could be due to many factors other than manipulation. Calling manipulation...

Our biggest concern right now in Canada is the rising value of the CAD vs. USD. Exporters are losing out big time, which is why you see the sharp drop in the manufacturing sector (especially in Ontario). Many economists predict parity again by the end of 2009. Bad for exporters, good for my...

LOL and they say it with such confidence too. As if it's a given; no problem just trust me, if the computer says you can retire at this age, it must be true.

Fuck no! This is the second post I've read lately that suggests rates should be raised. Raising rates would cripple any recovery we're currently experiencing, no matter how small. Not only would it fuck the credit markets but the stock market would take a hit as well. And with the fragilness...

I agree that some of these statistics should be included in a "real unemployment" figure, with the exception of people out of work who are not actively looking for a job but would like one nonetheless. I wouldn't consider these people unemployed, I'd consider them lazy. Do they expect an...
