      U.S. Debt Is Staggering, But Not Unprecedented
      Your comparison that 120% debt during WW2 really is apple to oranges-it's a different world with many social service and medical programs to support, expanded in large part in the early 1960's and beyond.

      It is very possible that the USA will lose its' credit rating. Take a look at I.O.U.S.A. to see just how close we are to the abyss.

      Five Factors That Can Determine the Fate of the U.S. Dollar
      Excellent article, Mr. Patel. But what is safe to invest in if your dollar is heading toward worthless? Will gold stand up? Commodities? What?

      Has the Last Investor Thrown In the Towel?
      This is an excellent article that drives home one point clearly--you just can't rely on analyst coverage for accurate analysis. CRNT is an excellent example of analysts minimizing the value and growth potential.

      Cheap Crude: A Flash in the (Oil) Pan
      Michael, you are right on the money on most points--except your political slant. I just have to remind you that the Democrats have blocked drilling for decades, including the current democratic candidate for president, who has been anti-nuclear, anti-coal, etc. Let's not forget that the democrats are in control of congress, and have been for years. Let's not forget that the Republicans had much help in destroying the economy from their friends across the aisle. The bail-out got bigger and more monstrous thanks to Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, et al.

      While you correctly state that the funds used to fight the Iraqi war should have been used more wisely, let's not forget that the failure on the part of our CIA to correctly identify the threat from Iraq started way before Bush took office, during the eight year administration of President Clinton and before that, too.

      You can despise Bush's policies all you want, just remember that if you are going to chronicle the truth, you have to acknowledge the whole truth!

      Long term, I believe that oil will get more expensive. Hedging in the meantime, buy the ETF DUG, or DOY, and by being nimble and taking small profits quickly, are smart moves. These are very scary times. We are watching one country after another fall--short term, depressing prices.

      Play the Bounce to Hedge Your Longs
      I have qid, which is 2x inverse of NASDAQ. I would like to understand, though, how the short indexes will do if the SEC continues to add companies to the "no short" list and extends it through the election. Any views on this?

      The Case for Natural Gas Powered Transportation
      Let me clarify that: 4 hours fill-time for enough fuel to go 50 miles.

      Mike-According to the Fuelmaker Corp website ( the manufacturer of the PHIL system), you have to fill the tank overnight.

      Boeing's Bad News Doesn't Slow Down Aerospace/Defense ETFs
      Gary, would you consider updating this article in light of the current geo-political events in Georgia and Iran? Do you think defense/aerospace will benefit due to the "commodities"... skirmishes we are now seeing? I am thinking that either Obama of McCain will have to substantially increase investment in defense in the coming years. Thanks.

      Crude Sell-off: Solid Entry Point into U.S. Oil Majors
      Good article and commentary. I would like to address the question of why we need nuclear subsidies when it is already economical, raised by Pockyclips. We need them to build new plants. A new plant is somewhere in the vicinity of 4 billion dollars. I would also suggest that GE may be a good stock to invest in long term, as they are heavily involved throughout the world in the building of new nuclear plants. One also has to wonder if the nuclear plants being built in China and Iran will possess the kinds of safety features of those in the US and Britain, for instance.
      I read that the Russians are designing and building a nuclear plant in Iran that is based on a 30+ year old model.

      Now I have a very basic, rudimentary understanding of what this is--another thing to stay away from! Thank you for your well written article.

      Buying Gold for Oil Like George Soros
      As the dollar is strengthening, gold will fall short term. As soon as the dollar starts to fall again, which it must, since there are no fundamental changes to hold it up, gold will start to climb again. I have read many predictions that gold should be upwards of $1200 by 2009, including Goldman Sachs, Kevin Kerr, etc. Until such time that the U.S. stops devaluating its currency, gold will be a safe haven. Long term, oil will rise, based on supply and production. But for now, there is no fundamental reason for it to go back up to the $147 level, in my humble opinion.

      Time to Buy and Hold Gold
      Fitzman: There is a very good article in The latest edition of The Jerusalem Report dated 8/4/08. It is called Disinformation and the Iranian Nukes by Ehud Ya'ari. If you would like a copy, let me know at leveragedlady@gmail.co... ( that's my investment "spam" account.) The article is only 2 pages.
      Regards.

      Steve Jobs: Honesty Is the Best Policy
      I am long aapl with protective puts because of the volatility. If people did their own research instead of relying on Bloomberg, CNBC and various bloggers, they would have read that Jobs does not have a recurrence of cancer when the company stated so in early June, right after the introduction of the new cell phone. Long term, Aapl has great potential for creating additional wealth. What the company should do is advise its stockholders that a succession plan is in place should Jobs leave the company again, or die. That would help the stock price more than reports about Job's health.
