I want to look at some aspects of storage that I think have largely been overlooked by the media and analysts in regards to the natural gas storage situation. This is the one thing that people refer to as evidence of poor fundamentals in a natural gas market that is still at a $1 premium to the price of gas last year. It is my belief that the majority of people are just looking at the same  ...</description>

A few points:



* Of course the stress tests weren't stressful enough.



* El-Erian's &quot;new normal&quot; is right, and U.S. growth will be sluggish for years.

Nov. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Gold is taking a &quot;healthy breather&quot; and may resume its advance above $1,200 an ounce this year as the dollar weakens against global currencies, according to Barclays Capital.

Gold’s support level at $1,127-$1,131 remains &quot;unchallenged,&quot; Jordan Kotick and other analysts at Barclays wrote in a report Nov. 27. &quot;Rather than a deeper pullback, ideally we expect a $1,130-$1,200 range to develop over the next week or two.&quot;

Well the QE thesis is a bit questionable, FX markets have been outta whack since Q1 and Summer correlations. We saw a rather substantial period of dollar strength, and currently the trend is wavering.



So for the USD continued up trend? or will we revert to futher dollar weakness for the rest of Q2.

Jan. 7 (Bloomberg) -- If many of us could have turned around the moment we entered 2010 and made obscene gestures at 2009, we would have.

After the wreckage of the past 12 months, 2010 has to be a good year, right? Good for governments staving off financial chaos, good for households struggling to stay afloat, good for investors wondering which rules of economics and markets still apply. It really is hard to see this year outdoing the last one in the doom-and-gloom  ...</description>

Investor Jim Rogers thinks gold will double to at least &#36;2,000 an ounce. Economist Nouriel Roubini says that’s &quot;utter nonsense.&quot; As these well-known market personalities duke it out, they’re doing us a favor by highlighting a critical debate:

Sept. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Inflation caused by the Federal Reserve’s efforts to prop up the U.S. economy will cause stocks to outperform cash and bond investments, Marc Faber said.

Money pumped into the economy by central bankers will push the Standard &amp; Poor’s 500 Index as high as 1,250 in a year, Faber, the publisher of the Gloom, Boom &amp; Doom report, said yesterday in an interview with Bloomberg Television.

     Sept. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Credit growth will resume in the U.S. driven by companies funding buyouts, while the eventual collapse of the U.S. dollar will result in government capital restrictions, according to CLSA Ltd.’s Russell Napier.

     “The surprise for America is that there is going to be a credit cycle in America, banks are going to start lending money,” leading to a continued rally in U.S. equities, Napier told reporters at the brokerage’s annual investor  ...</description>
