If People Feel Good About the Economy then the Economy Must Be Good Itself
Stock markets are fixing to make their highest highs since September of 2008. The Dow nearly closed at a post-Lehman high of 11,000 overnight in New York trading. And here in Australia, the ASX/200 looks to break out of a long channel of indecisiveness and close above 5,000.
Surely those numbers indicate that people feel good about the economy.

Crude Oil Becoming Much Harder to Find
And, yeah, I guess we need SOME crude oil, cause our Priuses cannot ALWAYS run on electricity. So I guess its fine to use crude oil if we have to, as long as we can obtain the oil in an ecologically friendly way…

Peak Oil – The Risks
Yes, the worldwide total output of what we generically call “oil” has risen – slightly – in recent years. But that’s because there are increasing volumes of natural gas liquids (NGLs) in the mix…

A Look at Strategic Oil Reserves – Who’s Buying Oil?
As the US strategic petroleum reserve (SPR) approaches capacity (721.5 million barrels filled out of a total possible 727 million, and will be filled by January 2010), the federal government will fade out of the oil-buying business.

Peak Oil: Supply Data Doesn’t Lie
Remember, Peak Oil doesn’t mean that we are running out of oil reserves, crude will be around for decades. However, ‘Peak Oil’ does imply that we are dangerously close to peak global oil production.

How to Become a Better Investor: The Wall Street Journal Effect
As a young trader I was taught about the “Wall Street Journal Effect” where seasoned traders took profits when an article appeared in the paper. Things have changed with the Internet, which gives access to information like never before, but the premise is the same.

Last Decade: Buy Gold, This Decade: Buy Energy
It’s not technically a new decade yet. But if the trade of the last decade was to sell stocks and buy gold, then maybe the best trade for the next ten years is to sell bonds and buy energy. Gas, coal, oil, conventional, unconventional, renewable, alternative. You have a whole portfolio of choices.

Commodities Tell Us the World Won’t Stop Turning in a Financial Crisis
The Aussie gold price is fighting its way up despite the fact that the Aussie dollar keeps gaining on the greenback. While the Aussie gold price is up just $1.71 in the last 30 days (0.14%), the U.S. gold price is up nearly nine percent. We reckon the Aussie gold price will begin moving up closer to $1,500 again on a combination of events (weakness against the greenback for one.)

Big-picture Case for Energy Stocks is Pretty Bullish
Kris Sayce has been banging on the LNG drum, meanwhile, over at the Australian Small Cap Investigator. If you’re wondering what the difference is between his energy stock coverage and ours at D&D, we’d say it’s risk. Kris has been researching and recommending LNG plays in Queensland’s budding coal-seam-gas industry.

Crude Oil vs The All Ordinaries… Who Will Win?
The All Ordinaries has fallen in much the same way as crude oil has risen. But since oil corrected, the bounce in shares hasn’t taken off yet. There are a couple of reasons that might be the case. The oil price might not be the cause of share price movements. Or a bounce in shares might be ahead. We think it’s somewhere in between. Crude oil certainly isn’t the only cause of the downward slope in the All Ordinaries this year. Worries about inflation and earnings are right up there.
