      Electric Cars for 2010: Shift from Foreign Oil to Riding on Local Renewable Energy
      Nice article.

      My entire family is sick of manipulated gas prices.

      Don't count out the Subaru Re1, it could be as cheap as $13,000 in 5 years:

      Fuel Check
      Considering that we have now reached and passed the peak oil period where prices have been bid up to unbelievable prices, those theorists would now say we are entering the final demand destruction phase where prices will now begin their long decline to near worthless, as people adapt to mass transit, battery/ultra-capacita... cars, and inevitably to fuel cells all within the next 10 years.

      More Signs of Banking Trouble
      I think it's time to either nationalize the banking system, or at least break up the size of the top 10 biggest banks. Consistently reckless, these banks can't be trusted anymore. They are all bankrupt.

      "Nobody saw this coming." -Countrywide CEO Angelo Mozilo discussing the subprime crisis last year just after cashing out on $100s of millions in stock options.

      Time Warner Cable Chokes Its Customers
      Ouch, I used to average 500MB+/day just using 56K dial-up many years ago. I probably average 2 gigs/day now. If one has a virus, a trojan or spyware on their computer, you could possibly be using 100s of gigs/day.

      'Index Speculators' Hoarding Commodities
      Monopolies/hoarding of things obviously corrupt vibrant economies in the long run. There's a reason we have to break things up that coagulate and clog up the veins of business - otherwise we'll eventually have one lord, and billions of peasants.

      The commodities markets are relatively tiny. For every $1 billion thrown long into the WTI futures contract the price of oil shoots up 16%. The current commodities market is broken and is easily manipulated. When the foods get manipulated by greed, people die.

      Globalization is changing everything now, the commodities markets need to eliminate the speculators and hoarders who have no intentions of picking up product. Otherwise we'll have individuals and funds on a weekly basis cornering some market, somewhere and holding the rest of the world hostage.

      CFTC Investigating Potential Crude Oil Price Manipulation
      The slower the tankers move to port, the higher the $ of oil can go. There's no motivation for them to move faster, unless contango starts to play itself out...

      Peak Oil, Crude Price and Equity Correlation
      "Inferring the implications of equity negative correlation to crude too literally can be dangerous. As the markets pass through crude cost, the price at which crude merely has neutral effect on profit margins will be discovered. At this point, the crude markets will need to make more drastic moves to maintain current correlation."

      Park Your Money With GM - Barron's
      I think more and more that Barron's editors are paid pumpers. Some of their pumps and their timings for them are simply ridiculous. Barron's pumps used to move the markets years ago, but lately they've been so off, I believe their analysis is either just very poor or bribed.

      CDOs Return
      Bonds aren't an investment anymore. Inflation makes them look like a foolish risk.

      'Index Speculators' Responsible For Commodity Prices?
      I think hedge funds with the help of the investment banks are manipulating this price up - index funds buying each month help add volume to sustain the upward trend. I would not be surprised to find out in a few months that some oil producing nation was using a hedge fund to push this up.

      There needs to be strict regulations as to who can trade the food and energy commodities. Manipulating stocks is one thing, but manipulating the commodities leads to famine and death. The commodities can't be allowed to be manipulated.
