    • Using Several Stock Rating Services [view article]
      Very good article, a change of pace article for the section. Different methodology and certainly locates a number of "sandboxes" to play in. It also appears to be a valid method for playing some money in the market. Aug 23 08:59 AM
    • ETF Update: Fund of Fund ETFs, Steel, Oil and Gas [view article]
      I suspect Tom knows much more than you or most people about the subject. He writes to inform a number of us that have for whatever reason not wanted to go the very narrow route you have taken. His diverse information gives us a much needed bit of general information to help point the way. Aug 19 06:09 PM

      Well Kelly consider both the House and Senate in the same vein. They have a tremendous amount of influence and responsibility but also come up short with gibberish while trying to look important. Sounds to me you are taking your frustrations out on Bush and McCain but forgetting those two governing (?) bodies are required to approve his actions by vote. Obama has said nothing to impress me that he can succeed in the finance area - he is extremely vague at best. There is a need for people to be more detailed, say what they mean and mean what they say.

      At present we are suffering for having a bunch of lawyers run the country. There is a need for a new group in Congress that will pay attention and quickly react according to conditions. Do you get the feeling that maybe Wall Street is just too intelligent and we and our government are along for the ride.       Jul 30 03:54 PM
    • Three Stocks To Be Held To Infinity and Beyond [view article]
      inthemoney has a point. For the GE lovers you should look at the absolutely horrific environmental liability - start with the Hudson River and keep on going. They have delayed the expenses for some time now but sooner or later it will catch up with them and the stock price will go down . Maybe will they get some type of bail out Jul 22 03:21 PM

    • What the New Interest in Saskatchewan Oil Sands Means For Oilsands Quest [view article]
      You need to look at your estimated barrels and decide upon a recovery factor to make any estimation valid. Steam methods do not recover 100% of reserves. Jul 21 06:59 PM

    • Hecla Mining: Best Valued Silver Producer [view article]
      to Aurum.though. Whats the alternative to mining? Do we say we do not want to drive cars, have computers, cell phones and all the modern usage of gold and silver?

      Environmental pressures are being placed and steadily increased on mining companies. Over my lifetime we have gone from mine and leave to the use of reclaiming and water treatment. Thats progress.

      But taking your argument farther should we also say no more development of cities - they encroach on nature and create probably far more environmental damage. There is and will be an ever better balance.

      I think it is better that mining should take place where there is an environmental conscience. Should we mine at a third world site where the conscience is considerably less?       Jun 04 12:42 PM
    • Global Warming Up to a Hydrogen Economy [view article]
      It seems there is always a discussion of global warming warning of disasterous results such as rising sea levels. A suggestion might be for readers to study a little about the earths history.

      In a geology course some years ago I was told that at one time the glaciers were something like a mile thick on the US/Canadian border. The absolute thickness does not really matter - its the idea that a few thousand feet of ice has melted over a long period of time. It continues to melt.

      A warming and cooling process has produced several ice ages. Remember there is coal and oil deposits in the arctic, antarctic and over most of the earth. The formation of these compounds requires a warm tropical climate.

      There is a repetitve cycle that is so long that most of the human race cannot comprehend. I understand the talk about ways to make the atmosphere better but lets not get people all lathered up about the horrors of seas rising and other such things. Its going to happen no matter what the human race does - until mother nature decides to change the story.       Apr 14 11:37 AM
    • Is the SEC Really to Blame for Bear Stearns? [view article]
      It seems to me the final regulation should, in large part, sit with directors and senior management. Are they not the people who supposedly know what is going on? Don't they know what the risks are? In all the fuss the directors should be brought forward for their take on the mess. Should they not suffer further consequences?

      Regulations are needed but it seems the directors and senior management made money for years and now get to walk away with a lesser amount of money than they could have with proper oversite but still very substantial sums of money. I agree with the previous comment about who made the money when the price was raised from $2.00 per share. Oh to be a fly on the wall.       Apr 05 05:30 PM
    • Mining Sector: Location is Irrelevant [view article]
      I wonder if Mr Eugene has looked at companies operating in Africa and a number of Eastern European countries???? Maybe he should have a second look. Mar 10 11:00 AM
    • Ethanol: Three Developments to Watch [view article]
      Over the past few years I think much has changed in the oil patch. At $55.00 per barrel oil few people worried and few talked about peak oil. Now with oil at almost double the price and the realization that there are a whole lot of people in other countries competing for the oil we are beginning to realize there could be a shortage. In addition world wide traders are having a field day scalping and there is little that can be done about it.

      In fact we are just beginning to get to the alternate electric and alternate fuels use. Yes some of it is near economic but we are going to need more oil to even think about holding the price.

      For so many years America has not produced the engineers needed to advance the electrical cycle for needed improvement. Advances are coming but solar and wind or present alernate fuels do not and are not going to fill the gap for a number of years. We will not have enough silicon to keep up with demand for present solar needs for a year or two. To accelerate that rate of production is several years off. Wind energy is coming along nicely but it has a number of drawback. Each of the alternate energy products needs time to overcome a number of hurdles.

      Drilling is needed just to hold the fort while the alternate methods are developed and implemented. Lets be pragmatic. To think we can overcome the petroleum needs in just a few years is not going to happen.

      We do need the oil companies to drill like hell for a few years to fill the gap. But by giving them a tax break there is a necessity to assure they are using the money developing more petroleum reserves. If there is legislation it should state that a tax break is tied to drilling.       Feb 28 09:10 PM
    • Latin American Mining: The New Conquistadores [view article]
      You have commented that Rob McEwen has only invested in Nevada and Minera Andes. Has he not also bought a substantial position in Rubicon Resources located in the Red Lake area? Apr 13 09:03 AM
    • Hey Mark Cuban, Is The Stock Market Still 'For Suckers'? [view article]
      Your comment always take the low cost fund is really very poor advice. Many advisors, writers and others make this statement but I believe there must be some tie to good performance. Which leads me to who do you make the most money with at the end of the day. Sometimes higher cost does have higher performance. For whatever time period is being considred the better solution may be perfomance minus costs to come up with net profit from the fund.

      As for Mark he may be brilliant at many of his endeavors but his suggestions for finance are nothing more than mediocrity at best.       Jan 02 02:47 PM
