      What symbol is the S&P Oil and Gas sector? I cannot find it. That is the sector you used to calc the ratio of this article. Jun 18 04:25 PM
    • Declaring Victory Too Soon? [view article]
      Reinko is right. Total gov't debt - including offsheet - is more than $50 Trillion. Paulson has repeated this in his speeches. $10 Trillion is just the most direct borrowings. Jun 11 01:55 PM
    • Government Conspiracy Theories and Your Money [view article]
      Hi Jeff - I find your remarks to be right on. Plenty of people, not just the inflation folks, but also the gold bugs and monetary critics are hyping misleading statistics that are focused on confusing the dialog. Taking them to task just initiates a circular dialog. - Doug Jun 05 03:05 PM
    • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]
      The concern about "reasonable profits" probably comes from an errant story that has been floating around for more than a year. The story is about Nancy Pelosi and quotes her saying that she supports a 100% windfall profits tax on stock market trading profits - including that of retired persons. It has been labeled as fallacious by factcheck.org (try this link: www.factcheck.org/askf... ). May 12 04:16 PM

      Hi Mark -
      Absolutely loved the interactive graphic. I look for your posts all the time. Don't let the criticism get you down - you must be on to something.       May 06 01:52 PM
    • A Look at Recession Indicators [view article]
      Hi -
      I checked out your recession index and the language is confusing. It says 7.7% for Q3, 2007. Does that mean the index is not any more current than September 2007?
      Love your columns.

    • The Chinese RMB and the Euro [view article]
      Hi -
      I hope Mr Pettis does not get depressed about this "Chinesepetti&quo... fellow. Nothing Mr Pettis says is controversial - at least from an monetary economist perspective - so let's hope that he is not characteristic of mainstream Chinese statist thought. I look forward to Mr Pettis' columns. - Doug Roberts       Apr 21 02:34 PM

      Hi Jeff -
      I enjoyed this post. I read your columns regularly and enjoy them. I know of Doug Kass but do not read him. I have heard good things about him. Given the large number of posts I read that make few useful points, I found this one enjoyable. Thank you. - Doug Roberts       Apr 17 11:07 AM

      Hi - I find your analyses to be very helpful as I put together my own very simple model of the Chinese economy. Thank you very much. - Doug Roberts Apr 15 12:00 PM

      Hi - If some regional banks are likely to fail then I would expect that some candidate banks would be obvious and ones to watch. - Doug Apr 11 11:35 AM

      Hi - Like the article. One of the links - " Inflation AND Political Unrest!" goes to a nonexistent post.
      Thanks.

      Hi -
      Thank you for pointing out Rothbard's book America's Great Depression. I just ordered it and look forward to reading it.       Apr 01 04:41 PM
    • uWink, Inc. Continues to Execute [view article]
      This is an extremely speculative buy. Much of the excitement comes from Nolan Bushnell, the Chuckie Cheese guy, but that was a rocky road to success. When the symbol was UWNK they did one reverse stock split and could easily say that expansion plan require them to do another one. Mar 06 01:13 PM
