Nightly Ramble: Oil Bubble, A Hearbreaker, St Andrew the Incontinent gets
2008-05-28 22:26:00 Boeing is saying they expect the Oil Bubble to burst soon… basically echoing what I’ve been saying for several weeks. The Austrailians are saying it,Jordan Khan is saying it (And proving it with his charting) The Arabs are saying it… This bubble is about to burst. The only question is, how many will be hurt when it does? Mostly, the ones who weren’t selling oil short. I know I mentioned this one the other day, but this one just broke my heart. Personally, I won’t be praying too intensively for Maria. As Steinbeck once remarked, her path is already laid out for her. She’s got her job to do. She’ll be fine. This is a view not incompatible with those of us who believe that mortality is not the end… But what can be said about her brother who was driving the truck? What kind of personal hell must he be going through? It’s my guess that he can use all the good thoughts and prayers and support that he can get right now. I note with...

Oil Bubble Bursting? Sure looks that way
2008-05-22 21:46:00 I’ve been saying this oil bubble we’re in is about to burst. I said just this morning: Did you notice the prediction for $12/gallon gas? That’s usually the first sign of a bubble bursting. Just file it away for now. Apparently, you’re not going to have to file it for long, now. The Telegraph: The perfect storm that has swept oil prices to $132 a barrel may subside over the coming months as rising crude supply from unexpected corners of the world finally comes on stream, just as the global economic downturn begins to bite. The forces behind the meteoric price rise this spring are slowly receding. The article goes in in some by market and by source detail, on what’s happening. Suffice it to say that all is proceeding as I have been saying it would for the last two months, now. Copyright © 2008 BitsBlog. This Feed is for personal non-commercial use only.

Bubble in riceBubble in oilBubble in housesBubble in goldBubble in EurosBubble in artI could go on and on...These past few years have seen so many mis-allocations of resources, so many bubbles, and now such a massive wall of money worldwide chasing too few goods, combined with a collapse in the US dollar that makes dollar-denominated things skyrocket in price. So when will it end? Or will it end? The housing bubble is over, but the other ones go on and on and on. These past few days saw Roman Abramovich, one of the Russian oil guys (who also owns last night's loser Chelsea), drop $120 million on a couple of paintings, even though he's never been a collector in the past. Hmmm... And we also saw the Rothko painting above go for... wait for it... $50 million.

BUBBLE 2.0 WATCH: AGGREGATION SITE BRIJIT SHUTS DOWN
2008-05-15 19:05:00 Brijit.com, an aggregation site that summed online news stories and other content up in 100 words or fewer for quick consumption, has shut its doors. The shutdown is ideally temporary, the site's management said Thursday, but a placeholder on the front page admitted that Brijit "is out of money and can no longer afford to bring you the world in 100 words." A post on Brijit's blog by CEO and Editor In Chief Jeremy Brosowsky explained further. "As recently as yesterday morning, we thought we had the funding in place to continue our work together. But as it turns out, we don't." Brijit, founded less than a year ago, had been funded solely by angel investments. Currently, the site has kept its archive of about 16,000 abstracts live but is not accepting new ones. Brijit also compensated its abstract writers with a cut of ad revenue, and said payments for abstracts written up until the site's shutdown would be sent to writers next week.

Big Government Responsible for Housing Bubble, by US Rep. Ron Paul
2008-05-11 07:00:00 The House passed two bills attempting to rehabilitate the housing and mortgage market this week. There doesn't seem to be any shortage of criticism and blame for the bad decisions, and rightly so. Lenders and banks do share much of the blame for the overheated market. Lending standards were relaxed, or even abandoned altogether, creating an exaggerated pool of homebuyers that led to ballooning home prices that many, especially real estate investors, expected to continue forever. Now that the bubble has burst, the losses are staggering. read more |
