Natural Gas Rising

December 18, 2009 By Dick Young

December 18, 2009 My goal for American security and safety is to cut oil use by 50%, driving the price of oil back to the $10 per barrel level of a decade ago. Americans can in fact achieve this goal by changing over our ground transportation and home heating mix from oil to gas and electric. Exxon has now made a huge domestic gas bet by seeking to acquire our #3 U.S. natural gas production player. These are America’s top 10 natural gas producers: 1.BP 2.Anadarko Petroleum 3.XTO Energy 4.Chesapeake Energy 5.Devon Energy 6.ConocoPhillips 7.EnCana 8.Chevron 9.Exxon … [Read more...]

Boost Employment – Guaranteed

December 11, 2009 By Dick Young

December 11, 2009 Did you catch President Obama’s jobs speech this week? Is this guy kidding? He wants a do-over of the stimulus. Of course, you can understand his motivation. The Obama-fronted Radical Progressive Movement (RPM) promised Americans that a massive fiscal stimulus was the last, best way to ignite economic growth. The president’s own economic team projected that a mere $800-billion stimulus was all that was needed to prevent unemployment from rising above 8.5%. Today, the unemployment rate stands at 10%, not counting the millions of discouraged and underemployed workers. The … [Read more...]

The Economic Dream Team

December 11, 2009 By Jeremy Jones, CFA

An unemployment rate of 10% has put the administration and its allies in Congress on the defensive. The president's $787-billion stimulus was supposed to stem job losses and keep unemployment from reaching double digits. Predictably, there has been little or no benefit from the poorly designed stimulus. So back to the drawing board we go. The administration is proposing a second stimulus plan. Does this plan have any chance at success? It's doubtful. The problem here is that President Obama and his inner circle of economic advisors are short on relevant private-sector experience. The … [Read more...]

A Nightmare Schedule

December 4, 2009 By Dick Young

December 4, 2009 I have in front of me a most depressing chart. It shows the value of adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) resets. The chart runs from 2006 to 2012 and has two peaks-almost like the back of a camel. The first peak was in early 2008. The second peak is in 2011. Guess where we are today in the ARM-reset schedule? That’s right, smack in the middle of the two peaks. The low point for ARM resets was 2009. Starting in the spring of next year, ARM resets will ramp up. The first batch of resets in 2008, which of course triggered the credit crisis, were dominated by subprime loans. The … [Read more...]
