Commodities Prices: Speculation Exposed by: Philip Davis posted on: May 21, 2008 http://seekingalpha.com/article/78264-commodities-prices-speculation-exposed That was a nice dip yesterday! We were so well covered that we spent the day in member chat discussing World Hunger as we...

Oil is headed to $2,500/barrel within two months.

Oil is headed to $2,500 USD per barrel, and gasoline is headed to $67 USD per gallon.

Credible rumors that this guy is cornering oil:

That's true. I should've said don't buy their pre-owned software.

Therein lies the humor. *rimshot*

The whole firm should be dismantled over this, and people should be doing hard time. Every time I think I can't be shocked anymore, boom... Read this article and then ask yourself how this is even remotely possible given the consequences of the ratings assigned by Moody's to everything from...

I refuse to use Vista. I refuse to advise any relatives or friends to use Vista. Vista truly is the worst thing to happen to an OS since ME (worse, actually). What a memory-hogging, bloated pig of suckhole it really is. SP1 did absolutely nothing to improve it. If it weren't for...

This is the only way the next 'guy' will be able to grab headlines. Contango-wango.

I wonder who has a vested interest to make such statements without once ever opening up their books for the world or any outsider to see?

Keep repeating that, and we'll all just keep ignoring that the U.S. is a highway and roadway dependent country, while 95% of Europe is not.

Look at what India's legislators were able to do with curbs on margin in rice futures trading: A nearly instant 40% drop in rice prices. Now, do not misunderstand - I am a free market proponent. However, when you have: 1) rampant speculation pushing 2) a good as vital to the...

You can just feel, taste and smell the top now. Pickens went short oil around $100, and only recently admitted he was 'wrong.' Now he's jumping on Murti's bandwagon. Who is Murti? An analyst at Goldman who is avidly anti-oil; a green beatnik, if you will. He got lucky being right once...

I respect Brazil and Brazilians. Having said that, they are a natural resource dependent, exporting nation - and if metal prices (especially copper) go south, they are going to have major problems. Their economy simply isn't diversified enough to withstand commodity weakness, and the...

I'm not going to debate that call with you incessantly. The simple fact is it was inherently timely. I started it on 2/28/2008 (go back and check), and I can assure you that I saved myself 6 figures by following my own advice. Chart 2/29/08 forward. Did I re-enter at the perfect time...

If anyone is getting sea legs because of today's action, abandon ship. The thesis is intact. The fact that Boone Picken's singularly caused oil to spike and stocks to drop today gives me nothing but confidence equities are the place to be.

Good luck to everyone. With oil at a fresh high (even inflation adjusted) of $129+, I am more confident than ever that this market is poised to launch into the stratosphere soon. Nothing can truly dent this market; not subprime, not oil, not the credit crisis...nothing.

The catalyzing event for commodities to top will be inventory bloat, whether because of government intervention, demand destruction, or both. I agree bonds are in a bubble phase. The next wave of stock market wealth will belong to the stock pickers - John Bogle and Jeremy Siegel will not...

I respectfully disagree. Governments are on a mission to crush commodities and they will succeed. And if they don't succeed, demand destruction will (there are tangible signs it already is). "The best cure for high prices is high prices." Let's all play an easy game: Name the most...

Big Money Runnin' has been heavier in cash than they've been for some time now, not to mention retail, which has been nearly completely sidelined by the panicky headlines. Where will money go if commodities have topped, people are scared shitless of real estate, core inflation is destroying...
