2010 : Year of the Black Swans From Hell 08/29/09 — Accurate financial forecasting has always been difficult. Today, with so many distortions at work in the economy, I dare say that no one can say with any degree of precision what the future may bring.

Re: Petrobras at Near Depression Prices 10/27/09
Petrobras has been a terrific play since the position was opened on 02/21/09 and I expect that PBR will continue to outperform over the long term. PBR is a well managed firm well on its way to being one of the world's major oil exploration and production companies. PBR is already one of the technology leaders in deep water exploration and development. Thanks for your input.

99.56% Gain. What a Meltdown 09/15/08
