The Boom in Doom: Peak Oil in the New York Times

Brendan Smialowski for the New York Times Peak Oil is not news to TreeHugger readers, but in the New York Times , John Leland talks to people who are preparing for food shortages, a collapse of the economy, a breakdown of civil order that many think is inevitable. He writes that “In bleak times, there is a boom in doom.” He puts the “doomers”…”somewhere between the environmental movement and the bunkered survivalists” and describes how they are packing away food, gold silver and no doubt guns and ammo for the inevitable collapse that will follow quic… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Boeing: Taking Airline Production Stocks for a Ride

Trader Mark submits: I’ve been watching this move in Boeing ( BA ) for a few months in awe; this is definitely the definition of “cyclical” . On the plus side, this is one thing still made in the USA, so any good news for Boeing is good news for the general economy. The aircraft maker reported Q4 sales rose 42%, year over year , to $17.9 billion, yielding profit per share of $1.75 ; that was ahead of analysts’ average $17.6 billion estimate on the top line and way, way ahead of $1.36 on the bottom line.

An Update on 10-Year Treasury Yields

Calafia Beach Pundit submits: (Click to enlarge) As 10-year Treasury yields work their way slowly higher (first chart), I thought it would be appropriate to revisit the long-term context (second chart). Yields are up almost 200 bps from their lows, but they are still very low by historical standards.

Similarly, it’s hard to see how the recent emergence of trillion-and-a-half dollar deficits has had any meaningful upward impact on yields. Complete Story

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy This is bullshit! In my opinion Sarah Palin has defined herself as a domestic terrorist and should be investigated by Homeland Security. I know that sounds like hyperbole, but since we have seen how agitated the Facebook fruitcake can make her crazed minions I do not believe it is an overreaction. It is time to hold her accountable for the hate that she she inspires in the ignorant and disaffected in this country. Here is video of Senators Jim Clyburn and Steny Hoyer holding a
