      Peak Oil's Bell Is Ringing
      I cannot believe the amount of enviro-flotsam proferred here.

      Ladies, give up your makeup - it's petroleum based too.

      We're not at peak oil, there are billions of barrels in the US - we're at peak "willingness to drill." big difference.

      "efficient solar" will provide 2.5%, a glorious 2.5% of power in 2020. Rolling blackouts anyone?

      Emphasis should be put on cleaner coal which with better catalytic capabilites is easily achievable - a 10% reduction in coal emissions negates ALL, yes, ALL, alternative energy options deployed.



      There is NO global warming, there are only cyclical changes - you know what they're finding under those receding ice floes? Villages, civilizations, implying that this has happened before. Our earth's rotation and axial tilt cause these changes not us.

      Now, is pollution bad? of course, but it's not global warming - the two are non sequitirs.

      So, less pollution good, global warming, fake. Nice try. And there's no point in driving toxic Priuses and using Mercury Laden fluorescent bulbs that are far more poisonous to our environment than nuclear energy.

      My U.S. Infrastructure and Employment Plan
      A-@#($@*#-MEN!!!! Since we're going to have one regardless This is exactly the kind of WPA type program we need- first thing I would do though is replace all the transmission lines with composites which would yield an immediate 10-15% in available electrical supply previously lost to friction. China recognizes this and is deploying this material now.

      I would also add rail upgrades as well - take more of the trucks off the road and reestablish train travel (bullet trains anyone?) as a major mode of transportation.

      I'm still bothered by the batteries though, they just don't seem ready yet. But LNG, absolutely. We've got LOTS of it here.

      I hope the Obama team reads this article. A lot of good ideas here.

      Coming Inflation To Boost Stocks, Gold
      WOW! What about OIL? Plus what about the long bond, rates must go up, no? wouldn't that dump the long bond towards 72?

      Coast to Coast Deflation Fears
      Exactly right - we've already endured the deflation component and with the fed's printing prices on full speed, inflation is a greater probability 6 months from now.

      Shorting the Long Bond: The Obama Solution Meets China
      The "quality flights" that push the long bonds up will likely continue to provide good entry points on TBT and PST as well. Between that, and UDN, it's the easiest money in town.

      Is the Government's Fannie/Freddie Conservatorship Failing?
      This was never about rates. It was about the evaporation of capital bases.

      Rates must go up as more debt is issued and more dollars create inflation. Shorting the long end of the yield curve is the easiest money out there right now (while its still legal anyway.)

      Dollar Strength: An Illusion
      Of course its not solvent - compare GDP against the now $60Trillion in liabilities and contingent liabilities it's obligated to pay BEFORE we added on the guarantees of banks insurance companies and all manner of financing entities. The hard asset inflation that will occur as a result of the dollar's soon to come nose dive will be astonishing to all, except those who are long commodities, short the dollar and the long end of the yield curve.

      Is This the Last Great Bubble?
      Amen!!! I would add the US Dollar to the long treasury. I've been taking somehting of a beating on the TBT - but when this does turn.... it will be breathtaking...

      My question to the author - are there better vehicle than the TBT right now?

      This Market Is 'Uninvestable'
      My stops have been hit twice and you're right, best thing to do is sit in the corner, lick the wounds, and wait.

      First Comes Deflation, Then Comes Inflation
      Great article I agree with your 3 and 4 scenarios. I would be buildling positions to short the dollar, long SLV/GLD, and DIG, DXO and the UYM. I'd also be short bonds via TBT and PST. I might even consider URE at some point as a proxy for the hard asset of housing that would also likely inflate as well. It seems a forgone conclusion that we're attempting to inflate our way out of this mess, and that we will indeed see higher prices across the board.
