      Seven Companies Profiting From Obama's 'New' New Deal
      Spending money on tried and true infrastructure projects is one thing. Picking technology winners is a totally different game. If the government is going to gamble money on solar energy, biofuels, and stem cell research, why not cryogenic preservation, perpetual motion, and hair restoration?

      Gold vs. Miners: Looking Beneath the Surface
      Wow! Just came to the same conclusion myself and did the GLD/GDX arbitrage (if you want to call it that) on Monday:

      Jeremy Grantham: Stocks Still Aren't Cheap
      There is a rather compelling analysis that stocks are at about the right level now but could get a lot worse before they get better:

      GE Dilution Questioned
      So why didn't they just do a rights offering?

      Natural Gas Fund Is Flaming Out
      Amateur economist: Of course you are correct. I noticed that but my point is that it can be way off over some very long time periods. It's clearly very susceptible to contango and backwardation and those may or may not cancel in any given time frame.

      Fran: I completely understood the rules before entry but was surprised at the magnitude of the impact of contango. As for Cramer...no I put no faith in that guy. The guy is a clown.

      huangjin: Interesting that you would quote this episode of Seinfeld. I often use it to explain why I invest in individual stocks...the reason being that if I was consistently bad at it then I could just start doing the opposite of all my trades.

      sbenard: My whole point is that you can't possibly benefit from the normal seasonal increase in prices because that's already reflected in the futures market. The fund will be always buying at the higher prices, not the lower spot prices. Also, I don't buy the technical mumbo jumbo. No offense.

      Fannie, Freddie Bailout To Wipe Out Equity Holders?
      If the government is going to provide capital that raises the value of the company then the government needs to make sure that they get 100% of that incremental value. If that ends up wiping out shareholders then so be it.

      A Blockbuster Arbitrage Opportunity
      I don't think they are negotiable. I'd say that there's a 50% chance I was told incorrect information and a 50% chance that there's some glitch somewhere that will work to my benefit.

      Thanks. I actually did that yesterday and saw the rate quoted. However, when I called them they told me I wasn't being charged. Hence, my comment "we'll see".

      Trading Closed-End Funds - An Update
      Yep. I've maintained myself that a portion of the discount on a closed end fund represents the discounted value of the expenses.

      Crude Reality: Big Oil's Purposely Restricting Supply
      America will do what makes economic sense. The last thing we need is the government to try to manage the economy and the energy problem. When they do that we end up with things like CAFE requirements, ethanol subsidies, and ethanol tariffs. It doesn't work in Cuba or Venezuela and it didn't work in the Soviet Union.

      Is Natural Gas Down for the Count?
      Looks like 2008traveler answered my question as I was asking it. However, natural gas ultimately should be exported to higher cost areas and even domestically it can be substituted for oil - maybe not in the short term but in the long term.

      And what about the relationship between natural gas prices and oil? At some point natural gas starts to substitute for oil.

      Just How Terrible Is Housing as an Asset Class? Roubini Weighs In
      The idea that a home is a great investment is one of these myths propagated by the government and the real estate industry. The government has a vested interest in people owning homes because people who own homes don't launch a revolution against the government. In case you are interested I did a post a while back on housing prices in Chicago (where I live) and what has really happened with them. It's just not a great investment. The story is the same for other cities as well.
