The higher the chance that I have AFIB and Bypass Surgery.

What a forking joke.

Chandler is laughing his way to the bank.

It will be interesting to see if Chandler jumps back in in 5-6 months

PLEASE .. no more Richard Chandler thank you very much Ebby.
His investing strategy is like mine.
BUY high and SELL low.

Stavros, nothing would surprise me anymore regarding IOC.

Some of you fine observers may have notice that XOM average production droped some 4.9% last year. That in spite of some 35B plus capital investments. Gosh... where can I find a Billion BOE or two Plus on shore... real cheap?

Hmmmmm

Santos?  LOL" border="0" class="smilie" src="http://shareholdersunite.com/mybb/images/smilies/undecided.gif" />  It would seem lots of little guys are becoming available for small donations.  Cash is king.  We'll get ours sooner or later.  Just about time to call "capitulation"?

BTW, anybody else wondering why the world's largest economy (or soon to be) growing at "only" 7% is such a bummer?  I guess when you have yourself leveraged to the hilt with 0% loans and somebody comes along and says the word "deflation" it could send chills up you spine.

 Labor day will soon be here and that traditionally is the wakeup call for summer's sleepy market.

My best to all.

The issue with China is that the 7% is likely overblown. China drove up commodity prices when they went into the infrasrtucture building bonanza which has slowed down now quite a bit. Countries ramped up commodity exploration and production exponentially and we had a huge surge in commodity prices. This has also been driven by the strong dollar. We may be seeing things starting to reverse as this huge economy slows a bit. What's the real Chinese GDP rate? It's China. Hard to get real reliable data. But guesses range from 3-7%. We just have to watch a little longer to get some answers.
