GM's 200 MPG+ Fantasy...

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Everyone was shocked when GM took a gigantic government bailout. What was equally shocking to me was to see GM claim that in 2010, they would have a car capable of 230 mpg. Well, as we all know everything is not always as it seems. When I came across this article by Adrian Veidt, Senior Editor of Casey’s Extraordinary Technology I thought I would share it with you and get your take. The auto industry is changing, will GM be able to finally make the changes it needs to?

=================================================================================

A few weeks ago, Government Motors dropped a public relations bomb when new chief Fritz Henderson announced that the forthcoming Chevy Volt would get an astonishing 230 miles per gallon (that's 98 kilometers per liter, for our metric-system friends).

For those of you not yet familiar, the Volt is a plug-in hybrid car. The car runs primarily on electric power, with batteries charged overnight by simply plugging the car into an electrical outlet like a cell phone. Its gasoline engine is used only to charge the battery and supplement the power when the batteries run low. Continue reading "GM's 200 MPG+ Fantasy..." →

Is Natural Gas Cheap?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Today's guest is David Galland, the managing director of Casey Research. David's going to give us a look through the trained eyes of the Casey Researchers at the energy sector, more specifically, natural gas. So take a look and see why David thinks cheap doesn't always mean buy. As always, be sure to leave us a comment on your energy strategies.

=====================================================================

At the height of its late 2005 rally, natural gas in the U.S. was selling for just over $16/MMBtu, 350% higher than today’s price of $3.56. The oil/gas ratio, now over 18, is an all-time high… suggesting that natural gas is dirt cheap. So, it’s a buy, right?

In a phrase, not exactly. Continue reading "Is Natural Gas Cheap?" →

Tupperware and ATMs – Gold Goes Mainstream

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Today's guest post is by Jeff Clark, editor for the gold bugs over at BIG GOLD. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think, has gold gone mainstream? Are we finally going to see the huge move in gold we keep hearing about?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? We gold bugs are like little kids on a trip to the zoo; we just can’t wait to get there. “There” being the elusive point in time when the gold mania (no, make that Gold Mania) hits and everyone and their cat will want to invest in the yellow metal. Which of course will propel its price to dizzying heights. $1,500… $2,000… $5,000 an ounce – the sky’s the limit. At least that’s how the theory goes.

But it’s not just a theory anymore: in the past year, we’ve been seeing unmistakable signs that gold indeed may be going mainstream.

For example, we have always said that when the Mania phase of this gold bull market really got underway, mobs would break down the doors of pawn shops and coin dealers in order to get their fill of the yellow metal. Continue reading "Tupperware and ATMs – Gold Goes Mainstream" →
