Peak Oil? Peak Dollar? Peak Market? or Peak my Nose

Fred is wondering about Peak Oil this morning – fishing for comments :) . I am with him…who the f$%ck knows. It’s not a waste of time, but I mean with the KINDLE on backorder, Fred needs to get his priorities straight :) .
The Chairman just can’t get the dollar and Yuan carry trade off his mind . God bless the little rascal. I am so over that…’till Monday’s market open.
Lately, my concern is holiday gifts for my family and partners, not global warming or the Dow, or ‘Peak Oil ‘ for that matter. Here are some goodies by the way if the mini iPod, Wii and Kindle are just not hip enough .
You see, I can’t stop thinking about our continued biggest asset with the highest margins…Culture and Creativity. With respect to energy, 80 percent of our population is fat so it’s likely we will solve our own problems by selling our fat dead bodies as a source of blubber and oil overseas to feed our kids and our kids kids, but I digress.
This post is about culture and creativity. You see “Peak My Nose” or “Pick my Nose” is still money. It’s about picking your nose and getting it virally distributed and than selling yourself for $1,000,000. Well, kind of…
Way back in May 2006, I wrote a post about American Culture Booming . It was all about YouTube, but really all about the American Culture boom.
The great charts and links from Fred’s post have already set the wheels in motion with respect to alternative energy. Have you seen a solar stock chart recently. There will be 100 public companies in the next 5 years riding that PR and economic gravy train. Let Brazil and Mexico muck up their shorelines in the meantime. That’s not what we should be doing anymore…we did that. We should and ARE selling them the tools to muck up their shorelines…faster…cleaner…cheaper.
I will keep my eyes on the new high list, which is non-existent these days, for the real important stuff. The good news is lots of smart money will find these new trends for you and they will start showing up soon enough. Oil won’t go up and the dollar go down without showing the hand of the next big winners. It’s happening right now.
In the meantime, if you live in the US, focus on the internet and creativity and exporting our culture, the good and bad. That’s where the real margins are. And you won’t get filthy doing it.
Furthermore, we should really hope that our leadership understands this and as I said in the May 2006 post:
Message to the government – stop dropping bombs from planes. DROP BROADBAND! and also Kindle’s.
Disclosure – Long Amazona few oil stocks and FSLR, Nintendo and Apple
