I'm part of the Gen X crowd and I have very little confidence in my government. The baby boomers are going to consume resources like you won't believe and you and I will have to foot the bill.

Savings? Nobody saves anymore because the inflation rate erodes savings rate and forces you to consume. What to do? The best thing you and I can do is start buying gold and silver coins as a means of saving, not speculation!

I heard about this company, too bad Citi will end up pricing the deal in the stratosphere. This, along with many more ideas, trickled in at the bottom of that PHO seeking alpha piece I did...I think I got back more insight from writing that piece, than I think I wrote.

the market traders guy post is HILARIOUS and f'n scary...I think that would be like 1000x bigger impact than 9/11 if those countries just shut off the friggin' taps...for a day...that's all it would take, 1 day...and North America would happily pay $200 barrel.

...and if you're going to use tinyurl.com get in the habbit of using rurl.org it's slightly smaller...and its a hard habbit to break (aka using rurl.org instead of tinyurl.com)

Yeah I got Disqus as you noticed. Big stuff happening in the futures markets. Oil just switched from Backwardation to Contango! Major consumers are hedging oil now and near term demand is falling. All these happened in the last 2 days. the graph looks pretty amazing.

As the saying goes "Never short backwardation" - I didn't make that up.

I am not going to do anything but watch from the sidelines. In other news... the US is retarded... and wants to sue the Arabs... When are they going to get it... http://www.themarkettraders.com/content/foreign...

Hmmm I should be using tinyURL....BTW how do you get points. Do you need votes? or is it by volume?
