Jeez, the theme at CNBC is that fossil fuel energy is leading us to the promised land.

Re: North Dakota jobs

It is all a trade off. That is the essence of the dispute.

It is also why I am so negative about the future of the environment.

Re: Anyone see why?

Short term I believe the markets are driven by the psychology of greed and fear.

Longterm they are driven by earnings.

Anyone see why?

I think I've heard most of the theories on the current bull, from the mother of all short squeezes, and quantative easing to margin buying gone wild.

What I haven't seen is any economic fundamentals that justify the exuberance. [more]

Re: Bloodshed in Iraq

We could have stayed there forever at the cost of more trillions. Menatime there is no money in the USA for infrastructure, schools, feeding the poor, and research.

Glad to see we didn't waste our money.

Re: The Markets are (Under/Fairly/Over)-Valued

In an era when the markets can drop 100's of points in a nano second

How do you monitor closely. The drop could blow through your stops so fast you wouldn't have time to gag.

As for market valuation, everyone thinks they know.
