    • Demand More for Your Auto Bailout Dollar; Oil Patch Should Bounce Back Long Term
      Mmarrrkk: you're still missing my point. GM defends itself by saying it has been making the cars and trucks that people want. Yet, their market share has dropped precipitiously and they are now close to bankruptcy. so, do you really *believe* that they have been making the cars and trucks that people want? obviously not. so, now they need MY taxpayer money. my point is that, if they want MY money to bail them out (and let's face it, MY money will go to the pay the salaries of the millionaire GM executives that made these bad decisions), then I want something out of it. i want to be able to buy a natural gas car or truck. i want to be able to buy a home natural gas refueling appliance at a decent price. wrt your comments on socialism or whatever, look at what is happening now! the bush administration is taking over the banking, mortgage, financial, and insurance markets. and it's not socialism. socialism for the rich, which is what is going on, goes by another name: *fascism*. now you know why the europeans held up posters of hitler when bush visited europe. they have seen this movie before.

      old wizard: of course the democrats have had a hand in the auto industry disaster. i already wrote how the clinton administration blew it on CAFE standards and caved to the lobbyist from GM and Ford and to the unions. the democrats have also had no spine and let bush do everything he wanted. so there is plenty of finger pointing in all directions. the article was more about what to do now. wrt oil imports, people shouldn't get hung up on exactly which countries we buy it from. oil is a global market. it doesn't matter much which country our dollars directly go to, when the price of oil goes up, it benefits the major producers the most: saudi, russia, iran, iraq, and venezuela. democrats dont agree with Pickens? Pickens is a republican, and he himself says that republicans won't give him the time of day. let's face it, the oil strangle hold on congress controls BOTH parties. pickens is making great in-roads with the american people and many govenors, but congress has been silent on the issue. it's very very sad. wrt obama, i think you are dead wrong. sure, he wants a stimulus policy right now, and i totally agree, and so do all the people standing behind him at the podium. why give all the bailout money to the millionaires he is saying. but, note what his agenda is once he gets into office: tax reform and an ENERGY POLICY. he gets energy (except for windfall profits) and wants to use energy policy related jobs to help pull us out of this economic funk. my bet is that obama will craft an energy policy that is a bit more sophisticated than simply "drill, drill, drill". it's our only hope.

      definitely agree on electric mass transit and building out the natural gas infrastructure, first on the interstate highway system. also agree on solar, wind and nuclear energy feeding an updated and expanded electric grid.

    • Demand More for Your Auto Bailout Dollar; Oil Patch Should Bounce Back Long Term
      mmmmarkk: agree with you on CAFE standards. not only should clinton have raised CAFE standards during the 90's when the economy was strong and oil prices low, they should have raised the gasoline tax and began the shift to renewables. bottom line is this: no matter which president you picked, NONE have instituted the strategic, long-term, and comprehensive energy plan that the country so desparately needs, like this one:

      thefitzman.blogspot.co...

      it's just common sense!

      midas1: yup, i have had 3 toyotas, and put over 200,000 miles on the first 2 and have close to 100k on this one. all i ever do is change the fluids and the plugs. oh, and buy and rotate tires.

      mmarkk: yeah, at this point, wrt energy, yes, i think the government does need to tell us what to do. apparently, americans and the US automakers are too stupid to figure it out on their own.

      oldwizard: well, i never said that GM and Ford didn't have hybrids, i know that they do. problem is they were late, and they never advertised, promoted, and marketed these vehicles until it finally dawned on them (duh!) that their SUV and big trucks sales were tanking. besides, do they have a hybrid to compete with the prius yet? i know they have hybrid caddilac escalades and hybrid SUVs....but do they have a 50 mpg hybrid yet? not sure. either way, their tardiness and overall ideology is, like the republican ideology, simply a result of compound ignorance.

      Mmmarrkk: i agree completely. i hate to think what the manufacturing output of the US would be right now with toyota, honda, and bmw manufacturing based inside the US.

      wrt buying oil from russia, saudi, and venezuela how in the world could the US survive if we did NOT buy their oil?? that is the point here. we are funding a war to "fight terrorism" yet we fund them by buying their oil. bush's "strategy" is to fight both sides of the same war! it is simply ludicrous. we must adopt a strategic, long-term, comprehensive energy policy and the US government must begin telling the american people the truth about what is going on. think about it, if it were not for Boone Pickens, most americans wouldn't even have a clue...check that..most still dont.

    • U.S. Mint Makes Drastic Cuts to Its Collector Gold and Platinum Coin Offerings
      forget collectible sets, you can't even go to Kitco.com and buy regular gold american eagles or canadian maples! it's been this way for at least two weeks. the only gold you can buy at kitco right now is 400 oz gold bars (for $296,000) or "pool" gold. neither one of which would help an individual very much if we slide into a barter system society as happened in weimar germany. apparently, the bush fascists have learned from that and they want to make sure none of us will survive their economic "strategy".

    • Demand More for Your Auto Bailout Dollar; Oil Patch Should Bounce Back Long Term
      thanks again for the comments. i am back for more...

      baitshopbilly: the problem with you plan is it misses a very critical component: if the US doesn't make the alternative fueled vehicles that we need (i.e. non-gasoline powered), then either a) we won't have them or b) in addition to sending money overseas for gas, we'll now be sending even more overseas for transportation solutions. big problem.

      paulk: agree with much of what you said. however, if american's can get quality, efficient transportation alternatives to gasoline powered vehicles i believe they will buy them. hell, i am looking for a good natural gas powered car right now and can't find it (or the re-fueling centers needed) in my state. that is a pathetic testament to how screwed up the automobile industry and congress are when it comes to the oil crisis.

      art rimbaud: thanks for the compliment, but there is not alot of research needed in expressing an *opinion* on what to do with my tax-payer money.

      Mmarrkk: thanks, however, wrt your exception: i think the market share losses that GM has suffered, and as a result of the success of toyota and honda in fuel efficient solutions means that someone has to point GM in the right direction. now that they are getting MY tax-payers dollars, yes, i do want the government to tell them what to build as their management teams obviously don't have a friggin clue. wrt mccain, mccain lost because he lost mccain: he caved on all his principles and became mini-bush (taxes, giving in to the religious freaks, etc. etc) not to mention that the american people *finally* figured out that perhaps bush style fascism isn't good for the middle class (ask the germans how it worked out over there). thanks for agreeing on NGV - it's a friggin no-brainer. if i were you, i'd sell those gas hogs now while oil and gasoline are low. in the nice oil price, which i expect to be much worse than the last, there will be no market for those vehicles whatsoever, save for scrap metal.
      agree also on windfall with you. note the recent statements by chevron's CEO to the obama folks wrt energy. i have great hopes that obama will adopt a sane energy policy ... but i do fear the windfall profits tax issues. more likely, i believe he will be persuaded to merely cut back on the current tax breaks given to big oil as opposed to instituting actual profits taxes. he's too smart for that, and it was tried before and failed. wrt investments, i think you are going to see some big takeovers in the energy patch in the coming months. these temporary low energy prices, and the decimation of the energy stocks are reminiscent of 10 years ago which led to exxon buying mobil...chevron buying texaco...bp buying amoco. etc. etc. look for big deals in the natural gas market first...i think bp wants to regain its position of #1 natural gas producer in the US and buying CHK would do that...

    • Demand More for Your Auto Bailout Dollar; Oil Patch Should Bounce Back Long Term
      thanks for the comments..as usual, i like to jump in:

      joethecarbuyer: unfortunately, the US is in a situation where the failure of the "little 3" automakers would not only have negative far-reaching effects to the national economy, but also would deprive us of manufacturers of the natural gas, electric, and hybrid vehicles we so desparately need to wean us off of foreign oil. that is why congress must demand these solutions in exchange for middle tax-payer money.

      Michael D. : in your competitive analysis, you left out the main one: manufacturing of non-oil (gasoline) based automobiles. without these solutions, not only will the US automakers not be competitive, but the US economy will simply sink into the abyss.

      wilson: it is unfair to blame the oil companies for producing the energy the country so badly needs!! if you want to aim your angst at the right source, aim it at congress and the president for energy policy (or lack thereof...) which has done nothing but deepen our dependency on foreign oil and strengthen countries like saudi arabia, iran, iraq, and russia. don't blame the oil companies. you start putting windfall profits taxes on the oil company and they will simply cut back on exploration and production in order to keep their fiduciary shareholder responsibilities. windfall profits taxes on the oil companies would be a disaster as they would simply mean less oil from them.

      Lazaris: the public wanted them, true - which is why this country so badly needs congress and the media to take a leadership role in explaining what the US energy situation is and craft intelligent strategic policy like this:

      thefitzman.blogspot.co...

      Not only that, but what does it say about the wisdom, strategy and even patriotism of GM when they don't take into account america's energy situation? what does it say when GM kills the electric car? their current economic situation speaks volumes about the intelligence and strategic planning at GM. ohh, but yeah, their execs have made millions while driving the company into the ground. you should be as angry as me.

      fam62c: hell yes they can force the companies to build fuel efficient non-oil based cars - it's my damn money (and yours too) that they are handing over to them. i tell you what, they use my money to build more hummers and SUV's and you will see some pissed off middle class taxpayers the next time gas goes to $4 (and above, and it will...it's coming). 95% of the american public is completely ignorant of the country's energy crisis. they believe america is entitled to cheap gasoline and big luxurious ludicrous vehicles. this being the case, it is the job and the responsibility of the government to protect the american people from their ignorance and craft policy in the strategic long term economic interests of the country.

      pipo: yes, oil is down because of the lack of demand due to the economic crisis. yet, the long-term supply demand situation has done nothing if any gotten worse since the low prices have new production projects delayed or cancelled. how soon people forget the $4.50 gasoline and the $145/barrel oil. its amazing. that is why i said current low prices are a dangerous threat to the american economy due to the vast majority of americans who feel like you do. it isnt only pickens and
      rogers who believe oil will come back and skyrocket, listen to the executives of every major oil company in the world who understands the true long-term supply/demand dynamics!

      retired/tired: yes, the blame needs to go where it belongs. and everyone is to blame: congress, the president, the lobbyist, the american buyer, and the US automakers. the article is about what to do now, and what to do now is build some hybrid, natural gas, electric fuel-efficient cars and trucks. this is even more so now that my tax money is going to a company that manufactures hummers, and that just pisses me off.

      longoil: i am convinced GM and Ford won't make and mass distribute natural gas and electric vehicles unless congress demands it of them.

      woodsey: if the US automakers go broke, we simply all keep buying toyotas, hondas, and nissans. then, in addition to our US dollars leaving the country to go to saudi, iraq, iran, russia, and venezuela for gasoline, we will also have more money leaving the country to foreign auto makers.

    • As Russia Tests the Waters, Oil and Gas Showdown Looms
      nice article, but there are a couple points which should be made:

      1) it was the idiotic Bush policies of a) backing the puppet in Georgia and b) announcing missiles in Poland that have directly led to Russia's response. Russian "experts" in the administration such as Condo Rice should have known this.

      2) the IEA has been consistently wrong in their long-term projection of oil prices, $200 by 2030? please. with any kind of decent economic activity, you will see $200 by 2015. that is the year that CEO's at conocophillips, hess, and shell see worldwide supply simply not keeping up with worldwide demand. the IEA is controlled by the oil companies to in order to keep the world addicted to oil. it is working, especially in the US because we have lost 8 years under bush.

      3) the twin american time bombs (fiscal deficits and 70% addiction to foreign oil), long term must cause a weakening of the US dollar, which will push US dollar denominated oil higher

      4) electric cars are not only viable now, if you add up the cost to the economy of not having them, they have been viable since GM killed the EV1.

      5) natural gas powered transportation solutions are simply a no-brainer, and we must have them. see my related article SA published today: we should DEMAND nat gas powered vehicles in return for tax-payer subsidizing of the manufacturers of Hummers and SUV's who now want the middle class US taxpayer to bail them out.

    • Gold Coins Are in Short Supply, So Why Doesn't Their Price Rise?
      Still, as of today, the only gold (other than non-delivery "pool" gold) that Kitco is offering is:

      *Gold Bar 400 oz (Please place order by phone) $304,000.00

      In other words, the little guy is pretty much out of the market at Kitco. No coins, no 1 oz gold bars, nothing. Invisible hand is at work bigtime here.

      comments on comments:

      Sean: but if governments are selling gold to raise cash, wouldn't they want the highest price for the gold and, wouldn't their be canadian maples and american eagles aplenty? it's all private interbank manipulation i believe. they want to uphold the illusion that the paper dollars they are printing as quickly as possible are worth something...

      jimmy46: yeah, you're right. i just like buying in quantity from a known commercial source a bit better than ebay.

      jensen: actually, gold was $730/oz and you could buy it in the Kitco pool at that price. that said, i prefer to hold my gold in my grubby little hands and i prefer small gold coins if the barter system makes a comeback.

      swaps: i like your theme. unfortunately, i bought a house in a regular subdivision and i cannot own what i really want: a few cows, goats, chickens, and a pond with fish. i should have bought a small farm for all the money i lost in the market! so, now i want to protect myself by having some gold coins that i could trade to the farmer for a chicken...or a cow...or.. you get the picture.

      capt bomblast: upstate new york huh? every hear of alleghany? interesting that your local economy is trading metals...i dont suppose you'd like to tell me where you are?

      longoil: oh yeah, i like dividends too and own some oil and nat gas trusts. i dont put everything in any one asset... i just feel the need to own some gold coins as an insurance policy against a complete financial meltdown. also, even if things dont meltdown, how can inflation not pick up again when all the cheap money primes the pump, and then we see oil skyrocket again? when that happens, i want enough gold to keep some, and sell some for a profit.

    • Gold Coins Are in Short Supply, So Why Doesn't Their Price Rise?
      longoil: you may be right about that. however, those base metals are very dependent on economic growth whereas gold is looked at as a hedge against financial anarchy (for lack of a better term). as you said, i would prefer oil over any other investment because the world is addicted, it is a "must have" commodity, supply won't keep up with demand in the years ahead, and, as you have probably gotten tire of me saying, the US has no strategic, long-term, comprehensive energy policy to deal with this fundamental economic weakness of the US oil based economy and society. i was serious when i said i'd like to buy 10,000 barrels and just store it in the backyard until 2015. btw, 2015 is the "d-day" which oil execs at conocophillips, bp, and hess have identified as that year when oil demand will outstrip supply in perpetuity from there on. so, we have 7 years to get ready....

      bosun.j: oh, ok, thailand. yes, it is interesting that many asian countries, who have lived through many financial ups-and-downs have so many efficient gold trading options. plus thought thai-sticks.... ;)

      kelly: zow-eee, what a comparison.

      SWRichmond: i agree. isn't it interesting that bush, a so-called "conservative republican" (i think he is a radical fascist) presided over the biggest fiscal deficits and debts in american history as well as the government takeover of the national mortgage, banking, insurance, and automobile industry. wait, that is the definition of fascism isn't it?

      MikeLovesGold: is that true? i did not know that. thanks.
      wrt confiscation of gold, i think they will have as much trouble prying gold out of peoples' hands as they will confiscating their guns. there would be a huge black market, and those moves would cause much social unrest. not sure the military is ready to handle 250 million pissed off and armed americans...they can't even deal with iraq....

      huanglin: sure, i understand gold coins are a unique product, and i understand that hedge funds and other institutions need to delever and are selling gold "paper" investments and that can cause gold to go down. no problem there. but where did i say "credit isn't money" or were you referring to someone else's comment? i certainly never said that, and in fact have opined exactly the opposite. i also agree, as the article says, that we are in full-on deflation at the current time. however, whenever anyone says cash is king, i immediately think for how long? as far as understanding what is happening, hey, conspiracy theories are as valid as anything else as nothing is making sense anymore and when a government such as the US makes such a strong move toward fascism (see my above comments), anything is possible. as far as gambling and not investing...i would agree totally. when fascism takes over, there is no such thing as investing....it is ALL gambling. so, sure, i am out there gambling with everyone else ... trying to figure out what the future will hold...and wondering why in the world oil producers are trading with PE's close to their dividend yields. yup, it's all gambling.

    • Asset Class Performance during the Bush Years
      thanks for this article - i was planning on writing a similar article but i was going to wait until he was actually out of office and take exactly his entry/exit dates for my data. regardless, your article proves what i have been attemptint to explain to the ideological republicans for years: george bush is NOT a "conversvative republican" (he is a radical fascist), has NOT been good for american investors, and has been a complete economic disaster for the US. my only question going further is can the US recover from the economic, social, and political influence of the 8 years of bush, cheney, and their incompetent buddies? we're having to flood the world with US dollars now in an attempt to reflate, but if we don't get a handle on a real, long-term, strategic, comprehensive energy policy, we'll be hosed if and when the economy rebounds as the price of oil when it peaks next time will likely be double this year's high of $147/barrel.

    • Gold Coins Are in Short Supply, So Why Doesn't Their Price Rise?
      dlaw: the money supply is going down? you must be kidding...the US financial deficit has gone from 5 trillion dollars to over 10 trillion dollars in the past 8 years. the government, in the last quarter alone, issued 550 billion dollars in treasury notes to finance the "bailout". and that is just a start. and yes, i agree we're in deflation now....the point of the article, is that we are likely to come out of this with a bang: i.e. US financial policy is to print dollars and reflate.

      chistletoe: money supply goes to zero? did you perhaps mean the value of the money go to zero like the weimar republic? the latter is well documented - the populace burned the currency to stay warm in the winter and the rich exited the country with their gold for switzerland.

      bosun.j: thank you. yes, just as the saudi's can control the price of oil (at least on the downside, they won't be able to control the price on the upside in the future) because they have the majority of it, so too can the central bankers control the price of gold because they control the majority of it. however, in this case we have an interesting scenario where they are articificially keeping the price down (in concert). but you watch, when they come back out with the gold coins from the mint...i betcha the price will go back up some. btw, where are you? gold is used as a currency where you live? i'm not aware of such a place...please tell me. yeah, i'd like to move to new zealand...big trout there.

    • Market for Electric Vehicle Batteries Is Heating Up
      electric hybrids and pure electric cars are great. let's hope the new obama administration will have the political will to strongly encourage and their production and adoption, as opposed to governmental policies in the past which have actually encouraged SUV production (and now the US taxpayer will be bailing out those idiots).

      however, as someone earlier pointed out, these electric transportation solutions need charging, and a back of the envelop calculation on replacting just 25% of our foreign imports used for gasoline is one tremendous energy challenge. that is why the *only* economically viable solution for a country as energy challenged as the US is a strategic, long-term, comprehensive energy policy like this one:

    • Cheap Crude: A Flash in the (Oil) Pan
      Tall: sorry, i do blame the bush administration. their oil centric energy policy has consistently opposed any alternative energy iniatives years back when it would have mattered most. instead, the so-called "oil experts" in the bush administration presided over a 550% gain in the price of oil, funding our enemies with what boone pickens calls the greatest transfer of wealth in the world. to not hold the bush administration accountable for this disastrous policy is hold ideology above the best interests of the country. and don't point to democratic opposition to off-shore drilling. any expert (the US oil companies CEO's for instance), will tell you that the US, with 3% of world oil reserves and consumer of 25% of the world's production, simply cannot drill our way out of this problem. the democrats acknowledge that fundamental truth, and have attempted time and time again during the bush administration to move away from our dependence on foreign oil, while the bush policies have proved to increase our dependence on foreign oil. so much for being the national security experts they paint themselves to be. the oil war in iraq as a result of their idiotic policy has merely united all arabs against us, bankrupted our treasury, and delayed the real energy policies that we need to adopt.

    • Cheap Crude: A Flash in the (Oil) Pan
      User286975: totally agree with you on solar and wind energy. however, apparently we disagree with nuclear. i too used to be against additional nuclear plants. however, with the lack of progress made in the last 10 years or so wrt energy production in the US, i don't think we have a choice. have you ever figured out how much energy there is in the 14 million barrels of foreign oil the US imports every day?? it's alot of BTU's man...massive wind and solar deployment won't get us there...and considering there is no federal plan to build out the electric grid to transport that energy even if we did have it...well, we're toast. we have backed ourselves into a corner and that's why i am for a serious build out of nuclear power (and the grid to transmit it). wrt to hydrogen, i don't buy that either, at least not in the short term. hell, we can't even get nat gas powered transportation going in this country, let alone hydrogen which has even more issues. remember, it was the promise of the hydrogen powered car that the auto makers used to distract people away from the electric car. now, we have neither...wonderful. so, i am with pickens....nat gas powered transportation (cars and trucks), electric cars and electric mass transit, increase the CAFE standards, reduce the max speed limit, and now that we are bailing out the auto industry, force them to make high mileage fuel efficient vehicles, or, they get none of my tax dollars. that should be the transportation part of an energy policy. the power for the electric cars should come from wind, solar, and nuclear. these policies are the best way to protect our economy from foreign gasoline powered transportation.
      wrt to environmental aspects of oil, again, we have put ourselves in a corner and, economically, we cannot afford NOT to drill and produce our own oil. otherwise, we just keep sending more US dollars to our enemies, increase our trade deficit, and compromise our economic and national security. we must assume the risk. btw, i heard you guys had a mag 5 earthquake up there today. but the exxon valdez was a drunk pilot, not a lack of drilling technology. that said, of course there are earthquake and ice pack risks that, well, IMHO, have to be taken. i do agree we should begin the buildout of a hydrogen infrastruture, but not prioritized above natural gas for cars and trucks. i think water electrolysis to produce hydrogen from wind and solar should be used as a storage mechanism for when the wind or sun doesn't blow or shine...or, when there is so much wind or solar energy it cannot be readily absorbed in the grid. hydrogen could be generated to be used to generate electricity later. one comment was that molten salt was a better storage medium...honestly i don't know as much about that but have heard it is economical in some scenarios. that said, it isn't transportable or as relatively simple to use as hydrogen.

      samadams: thanks man. i bought some sammies the other day..i can't afford guiness any more since i lost so much in the market!

      kunst: nice rap up. thanks.

      wizard: yup, the US could do anything we a real leader, a logically well presented rationale, and the unleashing of the brain power we possess. hopefully, once obama gets elected, he will be that leader we need so badly. wrt GE backing mccain, there is no doubt about this! do you ever watch CNBC which GE owns? man, joe kernen just frustrates the hell out of me. when he and david faber first came on, they were great. balanced out haines who was a real ass. now, the roles are reversed. kernen is the head guy in the morning, and the republican ideologue who rivals rush limbaugh in terms of influence. haines now has gotten real and even bought a mercedes smart car because of his concern about gas prices. i bet kernen has a hummer. what's amazing is how they talk about how obama will "socialize" america when they are sitting there everyday talking about how the fascist bush administration has taken over the banking, insurance, and national mortgage market (!). it's not socialism what bush is doing...it's "socialism for the rich", or, as i prefer, fascism. read my latest on that here:

    • Cheap Crude: A Flash in the (Oil) Pan
      jimbo: sorry, missed your comment first time around. it will be ivery interesting to see what happens to canadian oil sands production numbers if oil stays in the low 60's or retreats even further. wikipedia is currently quoting total cost of production at $36-$40. we started seeing serious investment heading to the canadian oil sands once oil move strongly over $50/barrel. it will be interesting to see how infrastructure investments and production proceeds now that oil is headed in the other direction. my guess is that new mining operations will be put on hold for awhile due to both the price of oil and the credit issues. actual production numbers...that will be very interesting to watch for in the months ahead. good point.
