Guess What Isn't Selling Off
As stock volume surges (we won't insult your intelligence to tell you what that means for stock prices), there is one asset that is going up. Considering the just released news of imminent land invasion in Libya which will be the next domino to fall in the MENA region, we would believe it is rather easy to guess which asset that is.

this is going to be a very expensive Summer
does that mean I won't have 7000 lb SUVs racing me to stop at the next intersection?
Well I just saw a guy put $3 in an Escalade to apparently limp the rest of the way home if thats any indication.
He is feeding his car a less sophisticated diet.
did it have 24" rims?
Ghetto-spinner rims... and the SUV was lowered... thumpin' out some rap...
White-boy former used sub-prime mortgage salesman...
Former (sub?) middle class...
Forecloser in limbo option ARM...
568+ days and counting unpaid mortgage squatter...
With a 3 yr lease on the urban comfort ride...
You can sleep in your car but you can't drive your house.
In the south you haul your house with you. (Mobile homes or Trailers)
I don't care how high the prices get anymore. We changed employers to work right here within bike ride range.
As for the 3.00 feeder limping home, he probably has a bunch of 5.00 packs of smokes and a pocketful of lotto tickets as well.
60 dollars premium into my work truck does not hurt at all. In fact it only enrages the hybrid crowd standing in line with me. Especially if I made a few move out of the way so I can get to a pump.
An old man once told me that however hard I try
You can't ween em of it
Incon.. My driving habits will not change. I encourage the market to raise gas to 5-7 dollars/gallon. Just so your aware, my 7,600 & 7,800 lbs vehicles are not racing with you, we are trying to get away from you. If I had a dollar for every clown car pulling out in front of me.
Check Tahoe vs Volt sales...
Fuck Government Motors taxpayer bailout products. I have two Lincoln SUV's & the Banks got the middle finger for cash purchases.
I grew up a pure Chevy man. I almost got Rat Pack and a Chevy bow tie tattooed on my chest.
I bought my first Ford last year.
Enough said.
Incidentally, 5 years ago you could get more than 18,000 Asian blats for 5,000 USD. This week you get 14,000, and prices are rising here in blats.
That's a double whammy so despite the skyrocketing stock markets, spare a thought for the multinationals who have done so well on the back of a weaker dollar. Not only are margins being squeezed in blats but staffing costs are going through the roof.
Not a bad time to start shorting multi's especially if it's on the back of a fake rally...
They'll soon be heading back West and bringing jobs back with them, though not for the best of reasons.
Yes, but what realy matters is the cost of Thai whore.
Is a Thai whore in the CPI market basket?
A steak and a shot of penicillin used to be...
Should be eqivilant to 60 dollars US for 20 minutes with a American Whore. More than that for some folks who wish to remain discreet until they are exposed.
Most people only need about 5 minutes and the rest of the time spent in cleaning up.
At first I thought you misspelled Blatz. Then I thought thats a good price of beer. It hen occured to me that Blatz does not have an Asian brewery. But thats still a good price for beer.
You mean bahts? I thought Blats was Milwaukee made beer.
This doesn't effect me, I always buy $20 of gas.
lol
My wife is the same: £20 a week for the shopping and school runs. Except now that £20 a week only lasts until Wednesday, and in a month, will only last until Tuesday.
The other strange thing, she only ever fills up the tank to half, saying it's too expensive to fill it full. Apart from nearly running empty on a regular basis, she feels the "just in time" mentality suits her. I only ever let my tank get down to half before refilling. As I pay all of the bills for the petrol, her attitude leaves me scratching my head.
Still, we eat well on fresh food that she buys daily. I've got the old brick outbuilding in the garden stocked with tins, a camping stove and 100's of litres of bottled water. I think we'll make out OK between us.
Check the wife's shoe inventory. Those female half tank fillups are something I'm familiar with. My teen daughter had a similar habit. The gas money I gave her went half into the tank and the rest into her closet.
I assume you live somewhere in the Euro Zone. Personally, I would feel less than easy not having access to firearms. Even so, I have purchased the top-o-the-line wrist rocket with a max effective range of 200 meters, stabilizer, level and fiber optic sights. Uses .50 cal bearings or marbles. It is quiet.

Did the £20 give it away?
Anyway, in the famous words of Boris Johnson, I couldn't fail to disagree with you less. You have to be in deep denial - or a Keynesian economist attempting to justify your expensive education - not to acknowledge the inflation we see throughout the Eurozone. I'm in the UK, personally, and food and petrol especially are going through the roof.
I fill the car for my spouse. When she protests and it only a half tank according to the needle, I know the car has another 7 gallons in it. True to form I fill it tip top and then let the wife have at it.
Never ever without fail allow your vehicle to run less than half tank. Truckers like me have died learning that lesson in a winter storm that might last a few days.
Oh and the shoes come from a 50 cent or 1 dollar thrift flea store now instead of the mall (At god knows how much retail)
She has to walk past several boxes (Make that Cases) of ammunition and other availible resources every day. I have yet to hear any complaints.
hoarding, bitchez.
the battle for the soul of this bull market has begun.
I saw a website where you can hedge Gas Purchase and you can buy in Gallons.I bought a small amount for 200 Gallons at a buy price of $4.03 two weeks ago. I don't know how reliable is this. Website - mygallons.com
I want to engage , really I do. Your teeth are soo inviting! You want to make a statement, but not be responded to? I'm right!
Bull's April Fools!?
Uhhh, apparently the correct answer is S&P futures, because they've already retraced 50% of the move.

$4.48 in Laguna Beach today
A lot of that is from taxes (one of the reasons I moved out of California a few months ago) Taxes were just too damn high for everything and I wanted to enjoy more of my money.
It's only $3.58 for regular where I am (mid-Atlantic region)
Just paid $4.29/gal premium in No. Calif
It's as high as $4.69 in Point Loma, San Diego
http://www.sandiegogasprices.com/
Premium $4.02 in Las Vegas.
I eat a lot more than I drive, I'm really fucked.
Hope you don't have to drive to eat. Are there any nutrients in gas?
technically, gas is hydrocarbons. I surmise you can ingest in lieu of carbohydrates.
~$3.40 in arkansas for regular
$4.40 in Kihei, Maui, Hawaii
Loaf of bread $6.50.
No shit...
Bread is 6.50? Is that a joke?
Still 0.85Eu cents here..
2 thumbs up for Kihei... filled up with gas there about 6 months ago... stayed in wailea... $6.50 for bread at safeway? Everything was expensive there heh... although the goose was cheap for some reason... whatever, just enjoy your ridiculously good pineapples.
Can someone please tell me how to apply for fuel stamps?
They are still available for purchase on Ebay and at antique shops. The 1944 stamps were the most colorful.
If they do manage to create an environment for more jobs, no one will be able to afford the gas to get to them. Best to get your government benefits and make a monthly run to Walmart on the first for food and everything else you need.
I can only guess...in a low income area. We don't want those folks buying up stuff the wealthy want too.
Keep guessing.
Higher income than coastal San Diego
i read the tax is on GALLONS sold/bought, so the tax does not go higher with the price of gas
In the US that is correct for the fed and most states. I believe there are a few though, that tax on price.
I'm a big patriot -- paying higher taxes is "patriotic".
*
I will take issue with only.
3.80 Premium and damn near that much for Desiel in the south.
I expect 5 dollar gas or desiel by Christmas.
Our net income can support 16.00 gas before we have to switch to bikes to ride to work.
Say hi to LC for me when you see her
Just saw her white R8
http://i55.tinypic.com/34isnqo.jpg
Laguna Beach? So, I take it you're running premium?
Just wait till you have to replace those sport tires at $600 a pop.
$600 a pop sounds good if it includes mounting and balancing. I asked the dealer how much to mount the tires and they said $570, but they would do it for $550.
Just rip it out of a "Pick it yourself" Lot the day they plop a rig into it for 10 bucks and a bit of elbow grease.
I aint feeding some slob shop for 500 a wheel/tire. Hell I just bought 4 good tires for 450 the other day. American made too. The Rubber itself was imported from the south pacific, but I dont give a damn.
Invazion bitchez.
Boat gas ain't going to be pretty this summer
neither is bloat gas!!!
At $10/pound for steak...my rowboat might have to sit.
10 dollars will get you 5 shots at 5 deer for good vension dinners. Leave the steak until a Buffalo or some other large game comes round.

This explains how BP's campaign contribution ROI was way higher than everyone else's with action (payoffs) in the Gulf and Libya.
Edit: I remember thinking, these guys are blowing everyone else out of the water. I didn't realize how close I was....
You mean Rahm?
I always thought that Janet would be a grazer
That and the fact now we all know the Bernank sent tax-payer money to bail out European banks, things are finally going to start heating up.
Hydrocarbons -- they're all that and a side of chips.
Things look swell in Syria, too.
Nobody cares...cuz they ain't got oil. Black Gold. Texas Tea.
They do care but don't want to fuck things up so close to Israel since Iran and Syria are now buddies? until they are not. Russians. What was that yesterday about Russians spiffing up already existing naval facilities on Syrian Coast. Cornering tigers or their cubs is not a good idea.
Friggin WWI & II all over again.
Mutual defense pacts, FTW!
But, but, but, Wall St. says not to worry about 120 oil
When are they ever wrong?
Yes, the only way out is to abolish private land ownership.
Fuckers.
I sold my house and bought gold, so fuck 'em...
man that feels good...
fuck 'em, fuck 'em, fuck 'em... yeeees...
that was an ez Q, tyler. i got it right on my first guess! i think it is sooo right that you help us re-gain a lttle confidence after these fukin FED migraines!
this is wonderful, tho. tax the land and houses to pay for "bailing out" the banksterz. soon coming to a location near you? instead of "the EU and the IMF have ordered" after the jig is up and the FED is "internationalized", we'll hear: "the NWO and the IMF have ordred..."
lol---how about another "window tax"?
with a scottish surname and an irish maternal grandmother, i may have a "bias" here, but it seems to me "we are all irish" now, as per the course materials packet in Slavery 101. don't know how the irish will respond, but i'd be surprised to hear: yes, massah! more likely, the new goobermint will run/fly around "doing the nancy pelosi" and try to use all those great communication and negotiating skills while pretending to solve yet another insoluble problem. i sincerely hope the irish people exile them, permanently, while they are away.
the correct solution, as it will hafta be here, after the last 3 years, is to simply default. i think it would be great if they expressed a burning desire to remain in the EU, while they announce this, don't you?
with queen eliz II visiting next month and prez. milk dud flying in a day or two later, as arranged with bilary on st. patty's day, in DC, all i can say is that the NWO will certainly be displaying its repulsive ass as these two arch-creeps parade around their new plantation, display their impeccable rothschild-pleasing manners and toss candy to the kids, while saying, in "earnest" to the goobermint and people, "We do so wish there were more that we could do."
if anyone knows how nations bankrupting themselves to bail out banksters leads to anything but those nations then selling themselves to the same or related banksters, or default, please supply the link.
and, please! no ann coulter on this, ok?
...i know how you shitheads think.
+101
slewie. great job!
Irish Chutzpah?
How is that a declaration of war? The EU/IMF is demanding assurance that they will get the money back before lending it. If Ireland doesn't want the €85B they can just say "no", and there won't be any loan. No war required.
Are you willing to be taxed out of your home in order for one set of criminals to pay off another's "offer that can't be refused?"
And before you state that you can afford it, let me remind you that property taxes are permanent and will escalate year after year, as more and more revenue will be needed to fill the whole in the revenue bucket.
Why? Because they need it, and you as a property owner, have it.
I would think somebody with the attitude "America, Fuck Yeah!" would care little for global taxation authorities. Especially when the global carbon tax is lined up and ready to go.
Oh, and also, there is no such thing as Ireland, and thus it cannot want or not want anything. There are only individuals who operate under its facade, and others who have to live under it.
Homestead act. We only pay a few hundred at most each year. At the Price we paid for our place as well as the reduction in outflows by replacing obselete utilities and appliances, we are still ahead of the game.
And as far as the charges increasing each year, let em. 100 dollars to the school, 5.00 to the fire deprt, 4 to police and 3 for street dept.
Cut the schools down and give more for the rest of the services.
Or better yet, buy some land in rural area and only deal with county tax.
The money has been paid back @ 0-15 basis points. Team America F... Ya. Give me some Kim Dum Sum. and where is China and russia?
Perfect scenario to have other countries order your country to raise property taxes. Don't look now but it is looking like there are some Pols and Pol advisers/buddies that would like to force US property owners to do the same. Hmmm...lets see what kind of new speak term can we call a new Fed tax on property owners....I know, The Enhanced American Patriotic Nation Building Act. That'll work, he he he he.
Your EAPNBA will be followed shortly by the Watch As I Burn This Fucker To The Ground act. More physical than written type of act.
What about the children?
What about the children?
This doesn't, as far as I know, have anything to do with oil or war but I have noticed a pattern in the equities lately especially the ES. A large gap up in the AM and then a lazy sort of arc where we end the day a little lower than we started but well above the previous days' close, so that it closes green. Today seems like it will end up a perfect example. I don't know what's going on but it smacks to me of some type of manipulation, for the purpose of repositioning maybe. Any thoughts ?
Waddell and Reed of course. ;)
buy gold, and it won't matter...
I have to deal with prices in Europe. USD 8/gallon, bitchez.
LYD, the Lybian Dinar would be my guess
Gas on Long island made it to $4.00.
Inflation makes containers smaller. Next is gas by the quart. Fixed it, now it is only $1.12. BTFQ
Market wants to bend over....almost there....short CRM now...AAPL short is looking good....No charts from ROBO....lol
And the bile has not finished rising while the Porclean god needs a bit of cleaning before the Market can worship with wrapped arms and hands without getting infected while puking.
At least it wont aspirate the crap and die doing so.
Is it silver? Is this going to be on the final? I hate hard questions...
But, but, but Dian tol' me that there was no more storage and it was going to $90 -- and now I'm getting my ass Chu-ed!
Sorry, Dianne does not know Duncan Niederauer and how the whole Bernank algorithm thing works.
"Computer...create more tank farms, Cushing."
Done. Carry on.
Nah, just dig a dozer around a field a few feet down, throw down plastic and keep on making ponds of oil. Land plenty.
Just those pesky permits are a problem.
Donald Trump for prez.
Say, 'if we spend our money and lives to invade your country, we're not gonna leave and give it to people who hate us, we're gonna stay and we're gonna keep your oil'.
Exact opposite of what bonehead is now doing.
If we go in, let's keep it along with its oil, then put up some steak-n-shakes, best-buys & casinos. Why not. If the whole place is about to come unglued, might as well get some crude out of it.
Um, no thanks.
How about retraction of all US forces around the world? I know, I know. Fantasy land.
Exactly. Doesn't fit the script of the international banksters.
Somehow I get the feeling The Donald is not in their preferred list of characters.I suspect he would have no problem telling them to go farg themselves.
If he succeeds, we win, and if they off him ...
Trump survived a bankruptcy... that may be a key experience for the next president.
Great attitude CO - America, the Fourth Reich!! /sarc/
Good Book..!!
Heh. I told everyone they'd hate it if the US became a real empire.
Rock on.
So...The Donald is in favor of old-fashioned imperialism? Interesting campaign theme.
Oh god, yet even more voters.
"Collectivism is slavery." -- F.A. Hayek
$150/bbl here we come! Japan switching from nuke power to oil and gas fired power plants. China, India, Latin America (x/ Venezuela) and the old Soviet Union growing nicely. The US and Western Europe moving along but not growing. So demand continues to hold firm world wide. Getting harder to get oil from the war torn Middle East. And the US government is putting the squeeze on exploration and production. Old fields depleting. The dollar losing value by the minute. All this adds up to higher prices. Cost me $50 to fill my tank yesterday. Not cool at all.
www.TheAngryGrapes.Com
At 100 dollars a tank I will still fill it up.
At 150 or so, I will feel the same, not cool.
The problem is many folks will quit filling after a certain amount of money and then steal gas in the night by punching holes in the bottom of tank as already started in the USA. Repairs and replacement of said tank costs almost two thousand in some cases. I already have some "You pull it" Spare tanks from the yard down the road ready to go in my barn.
Oh, they will find the tank. But wont find the Racing fuel cell I have installed elsewhere in the vehicle.
They're trying so hard to close SPY above 133... what a manipulated joke.
Are you observing or buying?
I just filled up 3 barrels (big ones!) with petrol last night. And I have more and not afraid to use them.....
Perhaps I can interest you in partnering for a new line of DIY molotov cocktails at my Torches, Pitchforks and Microbrewery I'm contemplating.
3 barrels? I've got 3x275 gallon tanks full of #2 heating oil which I topped off after I switched to nat. gas. I don't plan on using it for bombs though. I figure I might make a good return on it by selling it by the gallon. I suppose in behind sight I just should have bought gold and silver. Takes up a lot less room, doesn't smell, isn't a fire hazard. I can just picture going to a restaurant with a couple of gallons of oil to trade for a meal. Much easier to lug a silver dollar. Maybe I could leave a pint of oil for a tip?
Used to be the old railroad steam engine crew would throw down a shovel ful of coal for you as you served a meal for them. That good antricrite coal would last a few days.
You could burn it in a diesel car.
The lie of SPY
It seems this feb 13 prediction of oil price patterns and DJIA I have been posting from time to time holds pretty well.
http://saposjoint.net/Forum/download/file.php?id=2609
We could expect Brent higher then in previous peak, by 5-10 USD ( 125-130 USD).
Than it goes down in mid April just to shoot to new highs in approaching May (135-140 USD).
That should stop QE3 in its tracks-which will cause another temporary downturn in oil price.
All things are let loose in July 2011. Must be some supply disruption, serious this time.
Which would lead to serious downturn in stocks, and following double dip in the USA-recession in q1 2012.

Regular keeps fluctuating between $ 3.58 and $ 3.69. Prices change about every three days here where I live in Michigan.
koan... how many bernanks does it take to paint the tape green?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pdaj_iRlot4
Now THAT'S how you manipulate a stock market! Look at SPY go! Sucking every other stock up with it in it's algorithmic wake.
...if it takes a billion bernanks grasshopper the close will be green (amen).
praise be the bernank! may his helicopters rain green forever!
I'm sure oil also went up because everyone has a job now. Goddamnit, im sitting here drinking a cold one and now I gotta figure out some freaking math question to post this? Can't we make them easier questions? It would still work you know.
How dissapointing for The Bernank, it doesn't look like they're going to be able to close the market above our fake open (futures).
Must. Close. Above. 133.
I live in South Korea, it's about $8/gallon. Quit bitching!!!!
yep.
Cause Green Jobs are a cumming! Obama promised!
all by design. Barry could care less about the price of Oil as long as his Wallstreet masters stay profitable
We Americans are paying well over $8 per gallon if you include the portion of our income taxes that support the Defense Department operations in the oil rich areas of the world...
When I was in the UK it was 9.00 per imperial gallon.
It's a good thing the Island isnt big enough to run out of gas driving anywhere.
mean inclined, inverted shs.
parabolic move.
