How Well Does Fox News Mix with Reality?

Your article is right on the money.These news networks have to diversify,watching the same headlines for 24 hours is not happening.Normally after watching an early news cast you've seen most of that day's news so they need something to hold you there,enter Andersen Cooper,Geraldo Rivera,etc

The one factor you overlooked is their political influences left and right,sometimes it's almost sickening how far they will go to perpetuate their personal political preferences.

Keep the articles coming.

Has GM Changed Its Tune Yet?

Before you kick 30 mpg to the curb shouldn't it be achieved widely.Passenger vehicles that get 30 mpg usually have no power and as you add passengers they become less fuel efficient.If detroit can produce vehicles with power that get this kind of mileage fuel consumption would surely go down and more people would buy these vehicles.As for trucks.they need power which is usually generated by some form of gas guzzler.Ford has taken a step forward with a more powerful 21 mpg F-150 which is about 50% better mpg than the one I own.

Has GM Changed Its Tune Yet?

GM's stratedgy of trying to sell more expensive vehicles[crossovers]du... a time of economic turmoil seems flawed.Ford's stratedgy of steering away from crossovers seems more sound.I hope that at least one of them gets it right and then the other can follow suit.

Cramer's Lightning Round - Google a Hostage to Advertising (1/5/09)

Because everyone loves a "CLOWN". Maybe you could come out of retirement and write him a script for "ORAL DYSENTERY".

USU

If we persue energy independence, as I believe the country will,USU has tremendous upside as it is currently the only producer of nuclear fuel in this country.There are government programs presently in place that will give financial aid to USU WHICH IS ALWAYS A PLUS.They also have a facility under construction using a new technology to process this fuel.At current price I would say "It's a buy",but do your own homework.

USU

How quickly the news on energy independence has vanished.I have not heard one word from the incoming presidential administration about this subject,it is imperative that this issue be revived.It is time for the citizens of this country to make sure their elected officials don't fall asleep behind the wheel as they have so frequently done in the past.Nuclear energy is a viable form of alternative energy and companies like USEC and THPW are based here and ready to go along with wind,solar and our own natural resources.

Gaza War: Expect a Spike in Oil, Gold

If Israel stopped responding to the rockets being fired into their territory would civilian deaths end,no,because Hamas would continue firing into Israel.Using your own people,as basically,human shields can only lead to civilian deaths.As long as this conflict continues civilians on both sides are going to die.

History of middle east conflicts,involving Israel,always produce increases in the price of oil,gold prices are somewhat less predictable,so let's see what happens.

The article and all comments were well received,thanks.

Three Top Canadian Royalty Trusts

Until the economy of the world starts to recover oil prices will not see any substantial increase,I don't see this happening for quite a while.The Canadien Government has effectively changed the playing field for investors,could they be related to our government?The distribution yield and upside potential are still very good if you buy the stock at todays prices.

2009 Oil Forecast Down to $50 - TD Newcrest

OPEC cutting their production will be only a public relations ploy.The OPEC members will,as they have in the past,cheat on each other.With oil priced at 74% less than it's high, $38.00 a barrel ,they can not afford to produce less.If the economy of the world continues to slide they may not be able to sell what they produce at $25.00 a barrel.Oil trusts like BTE,AAV,PBT,etc ,whose stock prices have already been hammered, will have no alternative but to cut their distributions,well it was fun while it lasted!!!!!!

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.
