T. Boone Pickens' Stocks Struggle

Ah Yes, and how would that compare to those only holding financial stocks in a fund, or only china stocks in a fund, in the same time period.

Why pick only on T. Boone? There are others who are far worse off, and some of them are the financial geniuses who created much of this mess.

NBC Refuses Pickens Plan Ad

The politicians are doing nothing. Why not support T. Boone, as his plan is the only thing I see that is logical, and will work. Even Nancy Pelosi has bought into the Clean Energy Fuel stock, as the concept can't be ignored as to it's practicality. This will work, and in the end it really doesn't matter who proposed it, does it? Why continue to shoot ourselves in the foot, just because of some political dogma? This is the mistake we have made so many times in the past, and is largely responsible for us being in the mess we're in. 'Respirate' would have us ignore what works, because of something that happened 8 years ago in a political campaign. How is that even relevant?

Compressed Natural Gas: Key to American Energy Independence?

Thank you, PaulK, but regardless of the tax amounts, the point is still the same. The tax will have to be replaced, in some fashion, it seems to me. Our roads are not being maintained, with the present tax structure, and this will only make that situation worse.

Compressed Natural Gas: Key to American Energy Independence?

What to do about the lost taxes? If we sell CNG at $1/gal equivalent, and currently state, local, and federal taxes on gasoline are about $1.60, where will all the money come from to replace the lost taxes?

Just a thought.

I agree with the concept, but am just thinking ahead to the next problem. Replacing the lost taxes will have to be addressed at some point.

How You Can Invest in the Pickens Plan

Another stock is Trinity Industires, symbol TRN. They make the wind towers. I own them all, TSN, GE, CLNE, ABB, CHK, APC, DVN, and they are all doing well. I consider them long term investments, and won't try to time the market by getting in and out on 'breaking news'.

Sinking Slowly into the Sunset

User 223180: 'I agree we should remove the tariff on importing ethanol from Brazil and Latin America. We need to force the oil companies to provide E85'.

Why not just repeal the ethanol mandate, and let the free market decide what is best for all of us. If ethanol can compete in a completely free market, then I'm all for it, but we must get the gov't out of this business, so we can see what really works. Forcing the oil companies to do anything, is not using our free market system to our advantage, and is in fact part of the problem that we are facing today. Had we not 'Forced' the ethanol mandate down our throats, we would already be seeing the free market provide some alternative solutions, instead of the gov't mandated system we have today.

Re: T. Boone Pickens and his plan, IMHO, it is the best and only really complelling plan yet presented. It may well have some flaws, but it is well ahead of whatever is in second place. However, enough of this talk. Let's get started now!

Profiting from the Pickens Plan: FAN, Clean Fuels, Fuel Systems

debtacid, and what do you propose? Complaining about those who had been smart enough to make a buck, while the rest of us stood around with our finger, uh........in the wind, doesn't cut it with me. The PickensPlan may not have it all right, but then which plan does? It is a start, and a smart start IMHO' the man has already said that it will take everything we can put together to replace just one small part of foriegn oil. We could do, and have done in the past, a whole lot worse! In fact, we have done absolutely nothing, and it is time to get started. We don't need more talk!

Wall Street Breakfast - Sample Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News by SA Editor Rachael Granby Bank trio becomes duo. Wells Fargo (WFC) will become the largest U.S. bank by branches with its bid for Wachovia (WB), after Citigroup (C) withdrew from compromise negotiations late yesterday on concerns about the quality of some of Wachovia's assets. Wells Fargo, with a bid valued at $11.4B, expects the purchase to be completed by the end of the year, and denies it will have to absorb assets shakier than originally thought. Government considers next steps. As the financial crisis continues to worsen, the U.S. government is considering two dramatic steps to turn around, or at least slow, the damage: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits. The moves, which would mark the government's most extensive intervention to date, are in discussion stages only. Credit stays frozen. As frozen credit markets refuse to thaw, the cost of default protection on corporate bonds reaches new global records amid investor concerns the credit crisis will trigger corporate failures as companies struggle to finance their businesses. Interbank lending remains limited, and borrowing from the Fed's expanded discount window continued its trend of setting new highs every week, as the total daily average rose to $420.2B vs. $367.8B last week.

Better Choices - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/15/08)

by SA Editor Rachael Granby

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramers Mad Money TV program,
Wednesday, October 15.

Bullish Calls:

Continental Resources (CLR) -- "This is a remarkable decline. All of the high quality ones are down so much, I can't go against it. This is where you pull the trigger.
3M (MMM) -- The moment this stock starts yielding 5%, I'm a buyer. Until then, keep your powder dry.

Bearish Calls:

Computer Sciences (CSC) -- This is a company that was going to be bought, but they passed up the chance. Now I don't want to buy it."
Annaly Mortgage (NLY) -- I think this is a business model that needs to borrow money. Definitively do not buy."
Northrop Grumman (NOC) -- You can't own the defense stocks right now. If I had to own one, I'd look at Lockheed Martin (LMT) with its good dividend.
