    Gas prices will fall to 2 dollars..

    Hey, you're that Apple fan. You probably think Apple is headed for $350/share and oil $500/barrel. j/k

    Proshares (Ever wonder what you are 2X Long/Short?)

    This thread should be stickied. Imagine, a man in his 70's with obvious wisdom. Maybe there's a good reason Japanese youth show great deference and respect for their elders.

    Gas prices will fall to 2 dollars..

    Obama AND McCain are trying to outdo each other in talking about how they will crush oil prices, and in the meantime Congress is actually seriously considering passing some of the most draconian laws regulating any commodity market ever - there is no resistance to the the drive to snap oil...

    Refiner Insiders Buy Most Stock Since 2000 on Oil Bet

    I find this extremely compelling, because not only are insiders buying (including a former St. Louis Federal Reserve Member), but Hedgies are buying with both fists, too. Ken Fisher is very bullish, too, going so far as to say refiners are even a good play if oil prices don't even fall...

    RIP George Carlin

    Carlin bravely reminded or suggested to all of us that there are a lot more important things in life than fear of cursing.

    Banks left holding the bag on commercial real estate projects

    Thanks for posting this. As you probably know, this is near to me. And yes, this article is an accurate synopsis of exactly what's happening in the commercial real estate market right now. The contagion of the diseased housing market continues to affect everything from car sales to...

    What is the fastest intel processor?

    Okay. I have a Core2 Duo T8100 (Penryn). All you tech savy people, can I overclock it easily (w/out changing voltages or doing anything physically), and will doing so reap significant and noticeable performance gains, without compromising stability? Thanks.

    What is that FFFD square symbol in some thread titles?

    Okay, so, it's a formatting error on the site, Joe? I mean, as in the site isn't capturing and interpreting data in a formattable way? I just noticed it's next to the: Your Account � Become a Member � Help � Search Tools up top, too. Thanks.

    Ex-Bear Stearns Fund Managers Arrested by FBI Agents

    Why do I get the feeling that these two are being charged and offered up as sacrificial lambs, in order to protect the wolves? There's my DAMN CYNICISM AGAIN!!!

    RIP George Carlin

    Damnit. Seriously, this blows. In a mad and corrupt world, it takes comedians like Carlin and Lewis Black to dispense some truth every now and then. Carlin made those of us not numb to world events realize we were not alone, nor crazy, when attempting to affix rationality to outside events.

    Barron's Calls the Top In Oil

    Barron's has actually made some very wise calls lately. I am still bitter that I didn't heed their call on Joy Global when it was at 48/share. There were many, many others, too.

    Our future looks so bright...

    I love market crashes, when I can selectively buy top quality stocks at fire sale prices. Bring it. People have to eat, have shelter, clothes, health care and gasoline (almost everyone).

    Kudlows goldilocks economy.....

    Optimism without the ability to observe or accurately comment on objective reality is akin to blind faith. Roll that dice and pray you make your numbers. Realism is a much better lens to be able to react intelligently and protect one's ASSets. ;)

    Kudlows goldilocks economy.....

    mak, the last time we had a situation like this was in the very late 70s and early 80s. The enemy then was interest rates - a mortgage was 14%. There were union strikes, inflation, layoffs, high interest rates, but not the dismantling of factories of a permanent nature. Once the rates...

    Breaking News: Saudi Arabia to Increase Oil Production to 9.7 Million/Brl Per Day

    Saudi Arabia is actually going to increase global oil supply by 2%, all by it's lonesome. That doesn't include what Kuwait or other concurring members of OPEC will do in response to Saudi Arabia's move. Now that subsidies for gasoline and diesel are being peeled away in China, India, etc...
