      Prefer a Yield - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/10/08)
      Aubrey K. McClendon, the billionaire chief executive of Chesapeake Energy Corp., has sold "substantially all" of his stock in the company over the past three days in order to meet margin loan calls, the company said Friday. Media reports have placed the number of shares at more than 33 million. But is the company out of cash?

      Chesapeake Energy: Natural Gas Supply Responds to Price
      An energy policy with significant emphasis on gasoline-based alternatives requires huge initial capital investments, government leadership and financial subsidies. Unfortunately, our economy is in the tank now and so is our national treasury, over nine trillion in debt and growing rapidly.

      The problem with vehicles that run on other than gasoline - electric, natural gas/propane, hydrogen (fuel cells) - can not be fueled at present by an existing infrastructure, such as your local gas station. So, in addition to paying a premium for such vehicles, one has also to consider fueling options.

      Bond Expert: Wednesday Outlook
      What do you mean by the following statement?
      "I would also point to the breakeven level on TIPS. I follow the breakeven on the 10 year TIP with great interest. As I write this that spread is trading at 239 basis points. That is about mid range of the broad 220 /260 range which has prevailed for several years. So there is danger signal there."

      I hold TIPS. Should I sell?

      Who's Wrong About Inflation?
      The government is understating inflation. The adjustment for "a computer that costs $500 today is of far higher quality than a computer that cost $500 two years ago", is erroneous. Most consumers rarely benefit on an one-to-one basis by the higher quality of their new computer. Price increases on food and energy, on the other hand, are affecting everyone every day.

      This is just another example of government betrayal of small investors to Wall Street and big business, while saying is doing it to help small investors. How stupid our own government/politicians must think we are!!!

      New Flyer Inds: A Clean Way to Play Extreme Peak Oil Scenarios
      I bought Capstone at $5 a share several years ago after it crashed, along with the rest of the "green" offerings (fuel cell and renewable stocks). I'm still waiting to recover my original investment! I'm encouraged at Capstone's recent surge, but I'm reluctant to buy more even though I feel a lot more positive about it now.
