      $25 Oil Could Happen Before a Return to $100
      The longer price of oil stays low, the better. The main reason is it will help the economy rebound faster. On the downside, it will prolong our move away from fossil fuels. There's also the real threat of global warming. Perhaps we could also switch vendors - stop buying from countries who aren't very trustworthy.

      My question is, do you think we learned our lesson this time?

      Gold: The Next Reserve Currency Player
      By default I think you are right. There is nowhere else to put these huge cash balances, at least right now.

      Can Obama Make Sense of All This Debt?
      I'm no forecaster, but all this debt has gotten my attention. So far it seems as though Obama is making a lot of good moves. Whether he can carry this momentum forward will be the real test. I'm certainly willing to give him a chance. It's refreshing compared to what we've had for the last 8 years.

      Certain Risks Abound, But REITs Still Worth Considering
      Realty Income - "O" - fills that bill I believe. Not sexy, just consistent and under the radar.

      An iPhone With Satellite Radio - Gasp! Really?
      Sounds like a really good fit. And it will really help satellite hang around. It's a great option compared to what else is out there.

      The REIT Time to Buy
      The market swings much like a pendulum. I suspect you are right, but there could be some nail biting until the market corrects.

      Oil Sector Flush with Cash, Expect M&A - Canaccord Analyst
      I've been expecting that for a while now, but so far not much activity. I also expect many of these cash rich oil companies to begin to buy smaller alternative energy outfits as well.

      Music Moves to New Phase as CDs Fade
      It's been the inevitable outcome for years. The only thing I will miss is reading the liner notes while I'm listening.

      Gold Tests Its Reversal Level: Third Time's the Charm
      As a long term gold holder I am growing very weary of all the hype on gold. My feeling is gold/precious metals should hold a certain % of your portfolio. Period. To speculate from here is guessing.

      As Russia Tests the Waters, Oil and Gas Showdown Looms
      Great read. I suppose the big guys could swallow up some of the smaller players with all that cash. Just a hunch...

      We Have a Debt to Discharge
      It seems to me in times of uncertainty investors would seek refuge in something with real monetary value - like gold. But that hasn't been the case. Instead, the only way to win has been to short the market and put your paper winnings under the mattress!

      Eight Monthly High-Yield Dividend Stocks
      Good article.

      As boomers enter retirement, you will see more demand for these types of income streams. They are a necessary part of your portfolio. When the prices drop in half as they have done in recent months, the younger investor should relish the opportunity to reinvest at a lower monthly cost.

      I did notice some recommendations that had potential negative earnings, a caveat. But the larger funds spread the risk around.

      Also, come tax time, there might be some headaches as you wait for your tax forms.

      Revving Up the Electric Car
      All good points. But what about trucks, especially 18 wheelers and heavy duty delivery? I'm not convinced electric is there yet. Yes, there will be a shift away from oil, but as the author admits, gradual.
