O/T ie: ( trying to destroy someone ) hmmmm; incredulous, that one person can publically post malicious, vile, vicious comments towards a public figure; all over this public figure merely making a statement on a nationallly broadcast markets watch show on CNBC. Now ''my'' comments on ''his'' libelous attack are in question ? - gimmie a break... I decide that perhaps indeed the ''line'' to actual civil damages has been crossed - ''I'' have the courage to address it publically, to take a stand - and ''I'' am ---- ''trying to destroy someone'' ? What were Mr. Baby Bull's comments, if NOT ''destructive'' in the most vile, slanderous and henious manner imaginable ? Now I am a ''bad guy'' because - ''I'' merely reported a nationally reknowned economist; who not only appears as a regular guest on this Nationally Broadcast show; but makes innumerable public speeches and has a best selling book out as well . Hmmmm, I you have a warped sense of ''fairness''. This concept of a stock discussion thread - being open for only ''good news'' - even if it is usually - ''old news'' serves no one well. Why would MR. Baby Bull feel he has to ''flame'' me - as I was just a mere messenger - I made no conclusions - gave no ''sell now, or short'' recommendations of any type. I merely reported an event - let indivicuals decide how to interpret that news. It is Mr. Baby Bulls reckless, obviouslly emotion riddled vicious tirade against both Mr. Kudlow and myself that should be criticized. On what basis should Mr. Bull be able to insinuate that I am involved in drug use ? On the matter of what, or what not Mr. Kudlow may, or may not have done - any elementary review of libel case low will certainly let you know; that Mr. Kudlow has a slam dunk case here imo. MeThinks thou dost protest too much; the day that someone can come online - post vicious, libelous, vile personal attacks - stooping to drug use slurs against both a member here of SI who merely quotes a cutting edge market comment made by a know public figure- needs to be the point of ridicule. How contrite - a couple of lurkers (how convenient) seem so disturbed not at a public, temper tantrum and electronic libelous assault on merely a comment that does not support someones market position; but that ''someone'' would dare call someone on the carpet. I think a few of you need to take a long look in the mirror... As far as SargeK's comments here; I honestly could not even understand or decipher them ? - If his claim on his SI ''profile'' link in claiming to be a ''NSA - type'' Secret Agent doesn't ring some ''profile'' bells - nothing will evidently. If his unintelligible post here - with a slew of linked posts and self promoting drivel do not cry out in a ''Whacko-esque'' fashion; I don't know what does... fwiw SargeK and his track record are a well known entity - his near insane behavior on Yahoo existed before I ever posted on the Internet. That chicken definitely came before this egg fwiw... I have no desire to waste time onan electronic battle with SargeK who has been a ''known'' entity on the Yahoo threads for over a year. Continually cutting and pasting links to his own posts throughout netdom - answers any questions anyone should have. Also, all the real life CIA & NSA agents surely post links all over the Internet proclaiming their James Bond 007-esque status - ROFLMAO ! I think he was suspended here for spamming on SI. If his posts to himself, congratulating himself on his stock picks are of interest to anyone- I'd strongly suggest you make sure you click on his posts both here and on Yahoo - period. SargeK rest assured - the only post I made on Yahoo was to the Artic7 fellow that you have accussed more than one member here of being by the way; for him to publically acknowledge that he and I, or he and ArticWarrior, or he and Big Dog, or he and Jailhouse Jill are indeed not the same person....(VBG). SargeK - your psychotic cryptogrphic rantings & paranoic ravings are indicative of the need for psychiatric care imho. Good Luck all - a sorry day indeed - when merely posting a cutting edge comment from a National News Broadcast with dramatic market implications - that may not agree with the majorites opinion, or may have rained on their parade - can be met with the apparant welcoming of a slanderous, vile attack on not just the message - but the messenger.... I will continue to post both sides of the Crude Oil - Oilpatch story; all members here deserve to be able to not just have a filterized Bull Zone only .... I will NOT be silenced - both sides of the story need to be told - ''we report - you decide'' ! good luck - maybe you all can start a legal defense fund for Baby Bull if you so strongly support evidently his free speach, but not my call for him taking personal responsibility for his actions. Time to put your money where your mouth is perhaps... I kind of think Baby Bull will be needing a little cash soon, real soon - bank on it.

Caspian Sea, National Geographic, and James Kudrow ...... In January I posted the following regarding James Kudrow: "James Kudrow - Individual Investor Magazine: Has anybody read his commentary this month? He believes the only reason oil ever had any price strength at all since the 70s was because it was a hedge against inflation. Now that inflation has virtually disappeared, we no longer need it as an investment option. He also goes on to say that oil really has little to no value to all in this economy and that none of the analysts get this fact. His view is the economy is changing from one that is commodity based to a technology based / driven market. He predicts that prices will remain low for years to come due to oil finds in the Caspian sea and other regions and the US will prosper as a result of it. His column is called "It's the Economy"." Mr. Kudrow has probably been a little humbled since his commentary in Individual Investor earlier this year. Has anyone picked up May's National Geographic? It has a special article on the Caspian Sea titled - "The Rise and Fall of the Caspian Sea". I'm mentioning this because Mr. Kudrow is counting on the Caspian Sea as a catalyst for low Oil prices. Here is a portion of the article regarding Caspian Sea oil output - I apologize if this post is too long for some: So far however, reality remains stubbornly short of the anticipated bonanza. The 1997 output in the Caspian was more comparable to Argentina's than to the oil giants of the Persian Gulf. The AIOC's (Azerbaijan International Operating Company) first offshore project, called Chirag 1, was pumping on 90,000 barrels a day at the beginning of this year, about a tenth of the overall production goal the consortium hopes to reach early in the next century. Doubts are growing and to how much oil will be discovered and how profitable it will be. A geologist in one of the western consortiums told me his company had recently drilled two dry holes in North Apseron, an offshore Azerbaijani field. And in the wells that have proved to contain oil, drillers have found problems with maintaining pressure, in part due to mud volcanoes on the floor of the sea. Tapping these deposits will require frequent and expensive injections of water, the geologist said. He called the Oil-boom talk "a scam". Even if great pools of oil are recovered, there are doubts about whether, and how profitably, it can be shipped to Western markets. The east west pipelines that the Clinton administration has touted as the solution to this problem would cost billions of dollars and would, of necessity, skirt areas of political turmoil and ethnic violence. It remains to be seen whether Western investors will back them, particularly if the market price of oil remains low. [the article goes on ...] "There's been a lot of media hype" about a Caspian oil bonanza, said Robert Ebel, an energy and national security expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington D.C. "Potential is one thing, but you still have to drill wells that produce oil." Ebel predicts that in the year 2010the Caspian region will export about 2.5 million barrels of oil per day - roughly the amount Britain now draws from the North Sea. The article is really very sad. Oil extraction in the Caspian Sea region has taken such an enormous toll on the environment, that it's amazing anything can live there. As for Mr Kudrow, he seems to be an armchair analyst. If he really did his homework and got out there to look around to see what was going on in the Caspian region, he would understand that Caspian oil won't be a factor for at least 10 more years - especially if oil prices stay low. And that's where he really missed the boat - if oil prices stay low. Malcolm.
