The title alludes to my feeling that the biggest challenge facing mankind (especially mankind in the USA) is not "global warming", but a future in which worldwide oil supply will not keep pace with worldwide oil demand. I have often commented on Seeking Alpha that the "oil problem" has the ability to induce catastrophic consequences by 2015 and is therefore the more imminent issue to be addressed. Since the solutions to both global warming and the "oil problem" are the same, focusing on the nearer term problem would seem more logical to me. The problem, of course, is that those in power app

An analysis of the 116 companies included in my NordiCaps Region Index reveals the top performing Scandinavian country was Norway on both average (-1.8%) and market cap-weighted (+6.3%) trailing 52-week stock price performance, finishing well ahead of runner-up Denmark with a weighted loss of 3.2% and an average loss of 14.7%.

Moving beyond the single country focus of exchange-traded funds [ETFs] such as the iShares MSCI Sweden Index (EWD), I have developed a NordiCaps Region Stock Index which includes 120 companies based in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden with market caps over $1 billion US Dollars. I have also developed a ratings formula to choose 40 active companies on a quarterly basis for a semi-active ETF proposal, factoring in each company’s trailing 52-week stock price change, market cap weighting, and revenue weighting and then choosing the 40 active stocks based on

Reports say US citizens' net worth fell in the first quarter for the second quarter in a row. Talk from Israel about bombing Iran didn't help. If this happens and Iran responds by bottling up the Straits of Hormuz, well then $200/barrel oil will look like a nice bargain and a very severe recession, if not depression, will begin. Of cour
