Un-freaking believable!

It’s starting to look like everyone’s going nuclear.  Spot price hits $113.

I wonder how many vente lattes this guy drinks before writing his weekly column?

T. Boone Pickens, that slippery old oil tycoon turned hedge fund manager, made a call the other day that oil will hit probably hit an all time high this year.  His calls on oil have been pretty much dead on the last couple of years, as evident by the one billion dollars he made last year on his oil and natty gas bets– errr I mean investments.

You’ve probably heard that the price of stamps will increase to 41 cents from the current 39 cents in mid May.  Now you can buy the ‘Forever Stamp’ for the low, low price of 41 cents that will be good for ALL future price increases.  This is no doubt a great deal for rich people who can afford to load up for when stamps cost north of one dollar in the next five years.  For all you po’ folks out there, it sucks to be you.

See link below.  This guy pretty much took the words right out of my mouth.  Life in the US is easier than it has ever been, and will probably continue for a couple more years.  Enjoy it because it won’t last.  This coincides with the end of the Mayan calendar, the beginning of a new era.  The primary driver of the entire country, economic growth, will cease to exist.  Without economic growth, the country will slump into a depression.  Looking at the silver lining, this will probably be a welcomed scenario where people will once again find joy in living rather than consuming.  I’m ready.  Are you?

P.S.  Now would be a good time to sell any collectible Star Wars figures that are lying around the house.

Huge coin could’ve been made over the last couple of years in uranium.  I missed it.

Question:  Have Star Wars action figures increased ten fold over the last four years?
