Dubya,

RE: Oil

Is it anything to fight over?

Any possibilities we start using a little force to lower the prices.

It has to effect our economy somewhat.
Instead of money going into our bank accounts or spending it, we are putting into our gas tank and oil tank.

I heard something about China getting into the mix now also...

Threat of war could bring the market down faster than the threat of interest rates.

High Tech Power related stocks must be doing well. Do you know of an index for them?
I noticed BLDP has had a nice run.
If today's gap isn't filled, could it be recognized as an end of rally exhaustion gap? Especially if volume is low?

The sector that aids our power companies to run more efficiently appears to be running just behind the fiber optics.

I want to learn more about these companies and get in while it's still somewhat early...

Jim Willie: Beg to differ wit you on the impact oil has on the economy. Where do you get the %'s you mentioned. 1% would mean 20 billion. Exxon Mobil revenues are 110 billion. Whasssup.

Jim,

What about the effect of higher energy prices on consumers? That can affect spending patterns considerably if folks are paying more for food, gas, heating & air conditioning on a sustained basis.

If crude stays high, I am concerned about this dragging the economy down. What are your thoughts here?
