Global economic situation for liveaboard cruising yachties

Hell no. rectionary conservatives brought us to this point. It is quite clear conservatives are dangerously inept in whatever they do. And are violent.

They have got nothing to offer to the future of humanity.

 

Just how pray tell? My technical guru?

 

OK, my emailed links are finished, There are some MP3's to download and listen from http://www.financialsense.com/index.php as well as a few essays from various contributors - as I was recently told - some sites are barking up the wrong tree and not 'constructive', so learn to read between the lines and discriminate for entertainment value and learning / useful content...

Any other pearls of economic wisdom? are welcome as I feel like some light reading

 

Don't get me wrong Mas... I love GATA but they are like that crazy Uncle ! Not wrong in what he says but you are not going to take him to show and tell, it just won't play well.

 

For this I suggested that it would be good if you were lactose intolerant.

 

Any opinions on oil availability and price over next 12 months? LNG in USA for trucking and taxis etc... - where is the retail distribution network? Here in OZ most major towns have regular supplies in the retail fuel network so many cars also run on LNG... What of the USA?

Can anyone offer an idea as to why the AU$ is so strong when compared to the US$ and many other currencies when looking at the <1 year> chart? http://www.kitco.com/gold_currency/charts.htm?AUD and click on the <other currencies> as well as <hard currencies> buttons does not make much sense to me on a global comparative basis, apart from Australia being relatively small scale and easily manipulated?

 

In the U.S. and Canada, LNG the most economical way to heat the home, as well as other appliances such as cooking. It is distributed through communities via pipelines networks and billed monthly through metering devices. Some of the fleets of companies also run on LNG or propane.

 

OK, to clarify, many domestic homes are supplied with gas for cooking and hot water - - warm winter climates (not southern NSW or Victoria) here use reverse cycle refrigerant based air-conditioners to maintain domestic climate control - I was mainly thinking in truck (freight) and domestic (personal cars) and public transport as in busses and taxis, where it is fairly common here...

 

LPG Mas, big difference! LNG is a comparatively low yielding fuel. We are blessed with enough LPG that any Oz government would mandate an "enough for us policy" when oil gets exy. That is the reason behind the 2K rebate, they are quietly converting as much of the fleet as possible prior to any trouble. I settled on LPG as apposed to any hybrid for my new car, running a 4 banger on a state of the art LIQUID injection system (not vapor injection).

Oil is hard IMO, the US heavily influences price AND it has a system that only allows for imports... you can't export oil from the US, its not been needed! So you can end up with inventory builds in the slowing US impacting oil price sentiment while Asia is still keen for supply. Regardless I think that the US's fuel requirements are now quite inelastic and with the pressure that Asia is providing at the margin it hard to see 12/2010 prices lower than now. In the short term the charts are giving some negative divergences, we may have to work off some of this last years gain in sideways action or a correction. JMO FWIW.

 

I think that LNG for vehicles is quite doable (in fact done, I talked to a Canadian using CNG and filling from a home compressor) but to be practical it probably requires an engine rework, as does LPG if you are to see its best (higher compression, better spark, different ECU mapping's (more advance, leaner etc)) In reality LPG runs well enough that the engine work is not done unless you buy a factory LPG car however the energy deficit with LNG may require it to provide reasonable performance.

 

Thanks... both...

FWIW... I believe that the next major bull market and eventual bubble will be in energy. I believe that it will run parallel too and eclipse the bull market in precious metals, much to most goldbugs disdain. Without energy we are nothing, so if anyone is looking for "put away in the bottom draw" investments I would recommend looking into the energy markets. I have already seen great gains in this area and there are some fantastic company stories out there. By the eventual top I see the alternate and renewable market making the dot com boom look tame and sensible... Again JMO FWIW. Give it 5 years to 10 years to really develop...

 

Zed Zed Zed ... you are turning into incredibly large ignorant Ogre (as in Shrek). I can't even call u Mark II, because Mark's intelligence seems way higher than yours. You got a loooooooong way to go before you can b Mark. I don't even know where to start with you. I mean ... go read all the posts first, maybe you learn something. I already expain in very simple baby talk for people like you that you can get real credit based on real gold/money rather than phantom paper money/gold that don't exist. Sure, there would be less credit, and with it lower prices for housing, for example, which is good for consumer. In 2005 any idiot homeless bum with a pen could qualify for mortgage which drove prices through the roof, and now it all came crushing down. This would not have been possible if only real credit was available. Then you go accusing masrapido of not being from Chile?! That's pretty dumb even for Mike the welder. I mean, do you have any evidence, proof, or facts to support your wild accusations? Etc, etc, etc. I can go on all day with you. You don't need elite private MBA to figure any of this out, just use that stuff between your ears once in a while ...

 

Why do you bother trying to penetrate their minds and enlighten them? Wall has better chance of learning than these close-minded ******. They don't deal with facts or evidence. And some come here to play around for entertainment.
