Comment on Fogel on Universal Healthcare by Matt

This study is 100% Bunk! The doctors who did this study also conducted one in 2002 and found that the majority of doctors did not want national health care, the problem with this is that the 2 question surveys drastically differ in there 2nd question. I found this article, 60% of Physicians Surveyed Oppose Switching to a National Health Care Plan, It’s worth a read.

Comment on Opinion: Oil Prices to Plunge as early as 2009 by Daniel

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 04:43:36 +0000

I completely agree with you I believe that approximately 30-40% (possibly more) of the current let’s say $130 barrel of oil is complete speculation, demand really has not increased everyone simply believes that India and China are simply drinking oil, which is not the truth, I believe that both China and India cannot truly afford anything over a $100 a barrel of oil, and that they are such a new industrialization that they will easily become a part of a new energy way such as electric cars, nuclear power plants etc. I believe much of this speculation is because of a crippled US economy, which has completely been taken out by the knees by both internal affairs as well as the rise in all energy prices. Outside foreign investors have looked upon various things and see oil (and gold which has been trading up to 35 percent above 1 year ago (Which really in truth is not in any demand)) and so they invest, because they figure everyone needs it and it is traded in a dollar which is immensely low at the moment and for the past 12 months (since middle of 2007), and besides that point everyone figures oil is pretty much a blue chip commodity, and it will not fall. Now a few people do this, and before you know it the price is up, so more people invest, guessing that it will go up again, and more and more money is constantly put in, including by companies which have computers set up to automatically buy when the price hits a certain number. It is like a bunch of people blowing up one balloon, the balloon can expand, but it at a certain point it is going to blow up right in there faces, it is all a matter of time, and price until balloon pops by itself or someone takes a pin or a flame to it.

Comment on British Device Delivers More Energy Than it Consumes by aw

This is a scam. Don’t you think that this kind of new energy would have shown up in 50+ years of experiments performed by physicists?

Re: Sykes amateurish hedge fund book:

Is it more sad or amusing when someone’s young ego spurs them to write a book when they possess neither literary skill nor talent? Sykes has commented elsewhere that his goal to become “a great teacher, not a great investor” but in this sad excuse for a tutorial he proves to be neither as his amateurish errors practically drive him from the market, credibility (what little he had) completely shredded. Perhaps, however, it’s not truly his fault: let’s face it, when it comes to imparting wisdom from Wall Street it is simply not possible that a raw twenty-something simply has much to say.

Not that Sykes doesn’t try however. In perusing the “comments” portion of Amazon book reviews, he’s certainly not reluctant to chime in and offer a defense at nearly every turn. Find me ONE other author at Amazon that feels so compelled to argue his own incompetence.

Tim Sykes should end his determined quest to become a media personality as his grating manner and decidedly non-telegenic looks suit him far better to shine shoes.

I READ SYKES WORTHLESS BOOK AND IT HAS NO SUBSTANCE AT ALL. THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER BOOKS THAT COVER THE SAME SUBJECT MATTER FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE A RIGHT TO EVEN AUTHOR A BOOK ON THE SUBJECT.

THIS WORTHLESS BOOK IS JUST AN ATTEMPT AT COMING UP WITH A CATCHY TITLE TO GENERATE HITS ON A SEARCH ENGINE. SAME OLD TIRED INFORMATION PRESENTED.

SYKES IS A FAILED HEDGE FUND MANAGER, NOW BECOMING A SNAKE OIL BOOK SALESMAN. BOOK NOT WORTH $20.

Comment on $100.00 per Barrel Oil a “Sure Thing.” by Bill Bullock

Fri, 19 Oct 2007 12:59:10 +0000

We in the oil industry have been predicting this since the 1950s, so why is everyone so “surprised” that it has come to pass? Oil is and always has been a finite resource. It took millions of years for it to form and become available. It has only taken decades for us to exhaust the eupply. During the decades, which should have been dedicated to developing some form of alternative energy supply, everyone has sat back and ignored the inevitable. That luxory is no longer a viable course of action.

The near-term future holds tremendous opportunities for profiting from this catastrophic period. But the real long-term opportinity is in the accelerated development of those technologies that should have already been in place by now.

Comment on Gold isn’t going higher; the dollar is going lower by Ames Tiedeman

Sat, 22 Sep 2007 14:16:44 +0000

Gold will go way up, maybe to $1,500 an ounce or higher because the dollar will fall for years. The dollar will keep falling and here is why:

The U.S. cannot sustain 800 bilion a year trade deficits. We cannot export our way out of this mess. The only answer is a sharply lower dollar to drive manufactruing home and to lower the trade deficit. The dollar has much farther to fall. What you are seeing is a long term effort (it will take 20 years) to get the trade deficit back under 1% of GDP. We are currently running a trade imbalance of nearly 6% of GDP. No nation can do this. The IMF would be stepping in to help any nation if its trade imbalance went to 6% of GDP becuase its currency would collapse! The U.S. is different, but still, we cannot sustain a trade deficit of this magnitude. People must understand that when we buy an item from say China, we pay in dollars. The Chinese company we just bought from them goes to an Exchange Bank in China and converts those dollars to Yuan. The Chinese banking system (Chinese Government) is now sitting on those dollars. They can either 1, buy oil, 2, buy Treasuries, 3. buy U.S goods, 4. buy U.S. Corporations, 5. other. Over time if we (the U.S. ) continue to run a trade deficit we could simply be completely bought and controlled by foreigners. Warren Buffet has explained the situation as being like a rich Texas farmer who loses a small piece of his land year after year and never notices for a while. When he then notices, tragedy sets in because he no longer controls his land. So in sum, we need to get the trade deficit way down. This is why the Fed has abandoned the dollar. It wil be going down for the next 20 years. That is how long it is going to take to correct this imbalance mess. Bottom line: Lower, much lower dollar will equal higher inflation and higher GOLD prices. Much higher!

Job hunting or job seeking is the act of looking for employment,
due to unemployment or discontent with a current position.
Job hunting in general is one of the most arduous, discouraging and
stressful activities one can go through. There is no easy way to find a job.
Many employers will deny your application or refuse to accept your resume,
never landing that interview.
Common methods of job seeking are:

- using a job search engine
- looking through the classifieds in newspapers
- using a private or public employment agency or recruiter
- finding a job through a friend or an extended business network
