Here comes $500 oil

If Matt Simmons is right, the recent drop in crude prices is an illusion - and oil could be headed for the stratosphere. He's just hoping we can prevent civilization from imploding. Matt Simmons is as perplexed as anyone that it has fallen to him to take on OPEC, Exxon, the Saudis, and all the other misguided defenders of conventional wisdom in the oil patch. Why should one investment banker with a penchant for research be required to point out what he regards as the obvious - that from here on out, oil supplies can't meet demand, and if we…

Status Change for Two Remaining Investment Banks

In a potentially risky play for survival, the two largest remaining investment banks, Goldman Sachs Group (NYSE: GS) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS), moved to change their status to bank holding companies. This switch will allow the companies to create commercial banks that can take deposits, and potentially save them from a fate similar to those of the many failed institutions of the past several weeks. In a unanimous decision, the Fed's board of governors approved the requests late on Sunday. Like many of the present changes happening on Wall Street, the move will subject the banks to direct regulation…

Oil Spikes, Dollar Drops on Talk of Government Bailout

In the biggest single-afternoon price hike ever recorded, the value of crude oil for October delivery surged as much as $25.45 per barrel to $130, before receding to a more modest level of $122. Mounting pressure over the government's proposed bailout plan knocked the dollar down, and oil up on Monday. Over the last four trading sessions, oil has rallied close to $40, reversing, at least for the time being, a two-month regression to below $100 a barrel. At the current rate, many people are worried that oil's all-time record of $147.27 (recorded this past July) could be surpassed. Let…

While much of the talk surrounding Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's $700 billion market-wide bailout plan has been speculation, many experts are estimating the total cost for individual taxpayers to be upwards of six-thousand dollars. On the flip-side of the coin, Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab believes in the possibility that Paulson's quick-fix "ultimately may not cost us anything." She cited the Resolution Trust Corp. experience of the early nineties, stating that it may be possible for the government to actually turn a profit from this plan, as opposed to accruing further debt. This outcome, however, does…
