The Triple Play: Oil Addicts, The Credit Crunch and Deflation

We need to develop our domestic sources asap. In addition we need to start developing alternative sources- coal, nuclear, solar, etc.

The $100+ dollar/barrel oil prices are a blessing in disguise, because they make alternatives economically possible. But they will kill us (potentially literally) if there is no organization around developing the alternatives.

This is coupled with a collapse of our financial system. That is the 1, 2 double punch and you are out.

We need, in addition to the above energy scenarios, to TakeBackTheFed.com

If we do not get off our duffs, we will truly be in trouble. NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT.

Bernanke's Fed: Fox in the Henhouse

Come on, dve850, the Fed encouraged the creation of the bubble. Liar's loans were no secret. EVERYONE knew what was going on. By extension (if not inclusion) this includes the Fed.

They create the bubble and try and control it. When it bursts, then they do have to mop it up.

The answer is not to consolidate more power to the fed. The answer is to

Nuclear Power Is in Demand

I do not whnat to promote panic, but we are in the midst of a financial collapse, as well as on the road to an energy crunch. We need to develop all rational energy sources- and nuclear is rational.

We need to be very careful about limiting ourselves because of highly speculative theories like man made CO2 causing "global warming". Let's get real, we may be approaching a real global disaster here. See the May 8th commentary at my site (middle clumn, down a little).

As for the financial collapse, consider:

Heeding Market Warnings

Thanks Galewhitaker. I talked a bit about peak oil (as a worst case scenario- if we do not act) in my May 8th commentary.

I do see $130 barrel oil as an opportunity to get the alternative energy process started. Sometimes I wonder if it is not a policy just for that purpose.

Credit Default Swaps and Counterparty Risk: Beware What Lies Beneath

CDS are a big part of the derivatives bubble created by the Fed. If the bubble goes all at once, we are doomed. The Fed is now trying to deflate its own bubble (oddly by reinflating it). They caused it, they are trying to save it, WE will pay for it.

Wall Street Breakfast - Sample Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News by SA Editor Rachael Granby Bank trio becomes duo. Wells Fargo (WFC) will become the largest U.S. bank by branches with its bid for Wachovia (WB), after Citigroup (C) withdrew from compromise negotiations late yesterday on concerns about the quality of some of Wachovia's assets. Wells Fargo, with a bid valued at $11.4B, expects the purchase to be completed by the end of the year, and denies it will have to absorb assets shakier than originally thought. Government considers next steps. As the financial crisis continues to worsen, the U.S. government is considering two dramatic steps to turn around, or at least slow, the damage: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits. The moves, which would mark the government's most extensive intervention to date, are in discussion stages only. Credit stays frozen. As frozen credit markets refuse to thaw, the cost of default protection on corporate bonds reaches new global records amid investor concerns the credit crisis will trigger corporate failures as companies struggle to finance their businesses. Interbank lending remains limited, and borrowing from the Fed's expanded discount window continued its trend of setting new highs every week, as the total daily average rose to $420.2B vs. $367.8B last week.

Better Choices - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/15/08)

by SA Editor Rachael Granby

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramers Mad Money TV program,
Wednesday, October 15.

Bullish Calls:

Continental Resources (CLR) -- "This is a remarkable decline. All of the high quality ones are down so much, I can't go against it. This is where you pull the trigger.
3M (MMM) -- The moment this stock starts yielding 5%, I'm a buyer. Until then, keep your powder dry.

Bearish Calls:

Computer Sciences (CSC) -- This is a company that was going to be bought, but they passed up the chance. Now I don't want to buy it."
Annaly Mortgage (NLY) -- I think this is a business model that needs to borrow money. Definitively do not buy."
Northrop Grumman (NOC) -- You can't own the defense stocks right now. If I had to own one, I'd look at Lockheed Martin (LMT) with its good dividend.
