wow we'ave covered alot of ground in this post

diesel is a relative term. diesels can burn anything from wood smoke to lard, and that includes NG, gasoline, methane. so its not us and them, its we. spark ignition engines can be made more efficient, just direct inject the fuel slowly.
Don't get hung up on your grandpa's diesel fuel on account of they don't make it no more in this country. ULSD is not your father's diesel either. folks diesel fuel will soon be more like gasoline and gasoline will be more like diesel so you can direct inject it.

the housing bubble popped
the commodities bubble will pop
the inflation bubble will pop
and then we get to start over with some other cycle.

don't know where you 'll are at, but here the uneducated kids are still getting killed quite regular. if the law don't get them, the mountain will.

don't worry there will be higher margin requirements imposed,
the only problem is that will make it harder for the producers and the processors to hedge their positions, thereby negating the reason for the commodity futures markets in the first place. baby-bathwater.

the housing bubble occurred because someone thought that they could get rich by buying more house than they needed, and the government subsidized the whole bubble by allowing people to deduct the interest on their income tax.

watch the cycles, learn the cycles, time the cycles to your advantage, do not let what other people are doing influence what you do. be a contrarian, many of you are. amen
