I'd love to invest in Uranium if I could figure out how! There seems to be no easy way to invest in it as a commodity, and the only uranium miner I could find on the stock exchange was a small exploration company! If you have access to Canadian stocks you can invest in 'Uranium Participation Corp' ...

Its hard to find anyone who believes the dollar isn't going lower. You have virtually assured rate rises in the Eurozone and a near universal belief the fed will be cutting at the latest Q2 2007 in the states. China has been coming out with statements on how it is looking to reduce dollar holdings f...

I agree Mike, it is a risk and I think the issue of how society reacts is crucial. For example I can see the USA trying to keep the business as usual much longer than say Norway or Sweden would. As to a society?s reaction to crisis, I honestly think it is impossible to say how things will evolve. Bu...

I think I am going to sound like a hopeless optimist here, but ... I seriously doubt we will see a sudden awareness of PO due to declining supplies. I see us falling into a crisis due to some 'event' (which will be reported more like a one off thing) which results in a 1970's style situation (probab...

Thanks for the replies peeps, while I said I was pretty down and finding it hard to see a good outcome from the article, I do not intend to do nothing :wink: I do tend to have times where I get knocked back a little, this article inducing another such period. But I normally come out of it in a few d...

"Thinking The Unthinkable" article

I read the "Thinking The Unthinkable" yesterday, and I have to say its pretty damn scary, I was wondering how anyone can look at it and find some positive. If this course takes hold with systemic failure across the board, I do not think anyone is going to survive no matter what preparation...

http://www.godleyigh.com/ http://www.bullionvault.com/ These are the two ive been looking at. Bare in mind stocks will not universally drop. Look into Energy stocks both conventional and alternative. Stocks in Euro and Asian currency will also probaly be a safer bet. You could also look into commodi...

Yeah FSN is a great peak oil aware financial site. Jim Puplava has had on a number of peak oil aware speakers including William R. Clark in his past programs, definatley worth checking out.

Is it bad to have more faith in the EU than our own government?

Because it seems to be looking in good directions these days, saw a nice article about how they were looking into making better use of the water ways to move goods around and the MEP tabling a peak oil motion.

All good signs :)

It was my understanding that the reasons for the decline in use was mostly accounted for by the switch from oil to gas for power and very easy energy savings. Plus of course the hard recession. No one thinks of using oil as a serious electric power source now, and we have picked a lot of the low han...
