Well that is not going to happen Mike. The floor is already in. The war in the middle east is about to get much nastier and put up the price.

Ken , as long as it distracts us from moving forward on our " energy initiatives, like wind, electric powered cars and the like. and slows our drilling down the saudis will keep our prices low they do not want us to get the infrastructure put together that would stop us from buying from them .... and everytime the prices go down people stop pursuing the energy ideas that were Number ONE priority when gas was 4.25.
Makes sense to me . IMO |

Well Gordie, that would be true but for the fact that the OPEC nations just agreed to cut back on the oil by 4 million barrels per day from September's level. That will be pushing oil back up. Production will be less than demand after that cut is implamented. It will take a few weeks to happen will oil inventories get drained, but the fix is in starting on Thursday.  ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

Oil supplies rise because less gas is being purchased by end users. Reason? Oh, I don't know - maybe it is a combination of factors including if you lose your job you don't need to drive as much, public transportation has replaced the car as a mode of transportation for those going to school and work due to the $4+ gas prices (people are gun shy fearing those high prices are going to return), people feel they must justify every road trip they make and how about bad weather brought on by global warming making travel impossible? Or maybe it is just the luck of the draw. ------------- Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity? |

It will go up. It will go down. Nothing much to worry about unless the economy gets too healthy, ironically. In the meantime, Kenny will continue to predict the fall of civilization, and I will continue to predict that technology will continue to solve all our energy problems. (The robots will kill everyone else - Just kidding.) ------------- Ken Harris Nov 08: "This will cause oil to rise to near $100 by the end of November. It stays up there to about the end of February.

Actually oil is very close to moving back to where it was last summer. In the fall the usage of gasoline was down 7% year over year. Now it is only down 2% year over year. The lower prices are working to increase consuption again. IMO the usage will be higher year over year again by February. When that happens gasoline will rapidly return to over $2/gal again in the USA and to over $1/litre again in Canada. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

and in the US oil surpluses were 9 times the expected levels. Therefore oil took a dump today to correct the higher options prices futures gamblers attempted to take it to. Sure glad OBama is calling for windfall profit taxes on the oil companies. ------------- Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity? |

What do you mean $5K Mike? I purchased 10,000 shares at $3.90 a share. That is $39,000. So far, so good. GM's sales are turning around. They were only down 31% last month. Sales of their SUVs and trucks were up, and since that is where most of their money is made, I expect them to reach break even by the 2nd quarter this year. That is when their shares will go up over $10 each . ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

That would be good. Too bad your optimism is not shared by companies like Enterprise car rental who is their number one customer who buys all of the models GM makes and having prepaid for one year's purchases is so concerned that they will ever see the cars and due to bankruptcy rules will not see the cash back, they were going so far as to have their 75000 employees write to their congressmen, providing them with the text to do so, increasing the chances that their lack of foresight in making purchases won't blow up in the face of the Enterprise executive staff. Now with the band aid given to GM the car rental company is just praying they get all of their cars before the anticipated BK in March or April. National and Alamo lease their cars from GM and in fact it has much to do with how they are able to do their one-way rentals. Without the survival of the big three at least three large car rental companies will become a mere whisper of their current size and they could join rental companies like Ugly Duckling and Rent-A-Wreck with aging inventory they can't sell without taking a loss. I have family and friends at Enterprise (they employ about as many as Walmart) who tell me about the convulsions that company is experiencing as it begins to shrink down to 60% of it's current size. That is the only way you can get the info on Enterprise since it is privately held. Keep your fingers crossed Kenny that you don't lose all of that $39000. You do know the plants they are shutting down are the SUV/Truck producing plants, right? As long as they keep on making buses and cities have great tax revenue to purchase those buses with - oh wait -- cities are in need of a bailout too. Wonder how this is all going to sort itself out. ------------- Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity? |

Even if GM shuts down 1/2 the assembly plants that make trucks and SUVs whats left will easily be able to meet the reduced demand in the market. Scaling back and reducing costs is a process that is drawn out and takes time, but the end result will be a stronger company that can make more profit on smaller volume and be around for the long haul. Bottom line is that GM will have the same labour cost per vehicle as Toyota and Honda before this year is out. That would not have happened if this depression had not happened. There is a silver lining in every dark cloud. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

If the back of the unions is broken in America, the buying power of the common man goes away. Fat rich cats who will be left with the money won't be buying all the cars made to keep any car manufacturers going. We really need global involvement in another "War to End All Wars". The US Govt will then come to the rescue as the biggest consumer with the deepest pockets and put some to work and unfortunately some to death as sacrifices to the God of War. Barbarism - we never outgrew it. The poor, they have no bread. Let them eat cake. ------------- Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity? |
