When you consider that, according to some, the only reason oil went to $140+/bbl was those evil speculators, and said speculators are now mostly broke, is oil going to stay down at these levels for good?
I’m guessing not. And to back up my thoughts is Rick Rule of Global Resources who sent around an email [...]

In this blog post from June 7, 2008, I wanted to refute a newsletter writer’s suggestion to buy Exxon Mobil stock. His premise was that since they make so much money, benefit is bound to trickle down to the shareholder. Then Exxon was about $86.75, today it closed about $79.75.
Problem?
Exxon posted record profits yet again, [...]

In the blustery winter of 1950, U.S. Major General Oliver Smith and his elite 1st Marine Division were surprise attacked by some 3000 Chinese troops as the Americans attempted to take control of the mountainous eastern coast of North Korea. Suffering 1,500 casualties and [...]

I thought I should post this video since it isn’t getting the viewership I think it deserves.

Can you believe how sharp this guy is for 80 years old? And is probably doesn’t know the meaning of the word retire. Good for him and good for us.

I listened over the weekend to an interview of Dennis Gartman from last week. Dennis has some odd calls on gold of late, but the man is very smart, gets up very early every morning and is able to charge an awful lot for his investment newsletter.
Dennis was saying that he thinks banks, if using [...]

I guess I need to get my act together and start referring to Casey Energy Speculator by its new name Casey Energy Opportunities.
While I do think that many of the energy stocks recommended are speculations, I suppose they feel a marketing advantage to the name change.
However, in another light, with Peak Oil and its ugly [...]

It seems that George Soros is trying to profit from the oil/gold ratio which has been skewed toward oil for quite some time. Mr. Soros must feel it’s time for the ratio to come back to the mean (or beyond).
I had to make the difficult decision to buy some home heating/cooking/water heating propane for [...]

Securing the Insecure: U.S. Oil Imports
By: Marin Katusa
Casey Energy Speculator
Calls for national security to the contrary, America’s appetite for energy is stronger than its caution. In the last 15 years, the United States has steadily increased its dependence on imported crude oil by some 60%. Part of the reason is declining production, as displayed in [...]

Legendary Texas oil man T. Boone Pickens is now trying to push his clean energy plan (and his investments in said operations) into the national spotlight and hopefully into America’s energy plan - if we ever get a President and a Congress to put one together. Considering my disdain for government and the track record [...]

This video called “Joe, American” is a fantastic analysis of what politicians should be doing regarding America’ lack of an energy plan.
It doesn’t exactly fall in line with Peak Oil theory, and I haven’t checked his numbers on how much oil is owned by America but is off limits to drilling.
But even if the numbers [...]
