Here is a note giving links to valuable presentations about Peak Oil, and how to prepare for it.

I have no idea what Stan's post #27 is saying. Can anyone explain, otherwise this is a waste of everyone's time. Apparently he has no questions, makes up & embellishes quotes (Global Scout did not...
Speaking as an amateur in all aspects of this (esp forensic security trading analysis), I find Poteshman's article more compelling than the official government verdict. For unknown reason I cannot...
Also, thanks for the link to your other work. This is one of the clearest explanations of the threat that I've seen.
Question: do you have any references or links about pre-9/11 trading by...
First, a correction. “FM recently stated that his enormous volume of posts (151) and ‘views’ would otherwise conclude he’s popular.” I never mentioned how often I’ve posted, let along anything...
Shek: "Given that, however, it is still not a big fundamental issue."
It's a subject on which I'm not competent to have an opinion, but "a potential regime changing event" is in my opinion the...
For a description of this see "Are We at The Peak of a Minsky Credit Cycle?" by Roubini (July 30, 2007). He explains the 3 stages:
First, sound or “hedge borrowers” who can meet both interest and...
selil correctly reports that the consensus of economists is that the housing crisis will be a normal cyclical event. This is beyond the scope of this thread, but somewhat relevent. There is a...
I am open to questions. My MO is to post longish excerpts from articles (sometimes drafts), the articles having substantial links to supporting evidence (the exception being forecasts, which I...
Hedge funds are not criminal under our system of laws, no matter how much harm they cause. When they collapse companies or even nations, they are considered agents of the "invisible hand" (Adam...
Is it war when speculators from western nations damage a foreign nation for their personal profit? It's not conventional war, as we know it in the post-Westphalian order. Perhaps more like Drake...
Not a surprise. As I said below, you appear to be a well-educated person. Too bad you don't have anything to say here other than childish insults, as I'll bet you would be interesting to debate.

I don't know the protocol of this, but anyway...I just posted this on my blog, stimulated by this excellent discussion!
1. 4GW war is a conceptual tool. Debates like these show its power,...
I am not aware of any major energy-related institution that says global oil production will not peak. It's like death, the question is when. Due to lack of knowledge about reserves in the Middle...
Is the fall of the US dollar good or bad? Both, neither. It's the wrong question. Is a fever good or bad?
Both are symptoms. The US consumes more than it produces, the difference met by...
100% wrong in all respects. I'm not restricted (now posting on the Econ Warfare thread; would not care if I was), I have a large email traffic with a wide range of professionals in the...
Alternative view: the Saudi Princes waged one of the great economic wars of the post-WWII era against the USSR for control of the oil industry. They opened their spigots, crashed the price of oil,...
Great point! The 1970's saw the forequakes of global peak oil production; the real thing will likely occur sometime in the next 20 years (today, perhaps). The 1970's saw the first great US dollar...
China is following the trajectory of by W Germany, Japan and the SE Asian Tigers. Overlaying the growth charts shows that China is at an early stage in the process. It's easy to forget how long...
It's a hot topic by email among some working with military theory, and I've exchanged many dozen notes on the subject. I think this is the very edge of new thinking about war/conflict. But it seems...

Some people say I am pessimistic, but your comment is one of the most depressing sentiments I have heard about America in a while. Cheer up, man – we’re not that bad.
You have only raised one...
That is a sincere post, illustrating an important aspect of today’s America.
The American ideal has always been one of open debate. The clashing of opposing viewpoints so that a stronger...
Mark, I fully agree with the point of your post. The road to peace for Iraq -- thru partition or another path -- will not be easy. Hence I said "fragmenting" and "developing." Nobody can tell how...
Thanks for posting the link to this. Since Labor Day I’ve adopted the Lind publishing schedule: weekly short articles. So I have not been reading much at SWC.
The folks at SWC have been my most...
