  2. Yes, my favorite company, even more than the oil companies (blasphemy, I know), is Apple.

    My daughters, starting at age 2 and 6, and I grew up with Apple when we were overseas. We never looked back (with regard to Apple). We always bought the model just as it was being phased out (lower price) because Apples lasted forever. If you google the Wall Street Journal, you might find me mentioned in an article in that newspaper when the iPhone was first coming out. It was a big article, but I don't know if Google is that good.

    I never invested in AAPL. I missed that but fortunately my investing took me in another direction which was just as rewarding.

    My younger daughter and I still take our prayer rugs out and bow down to new (for us) Apple stores around the country.

  3. I'd like to challenge a premise stated here and by the director of the ND Department of Mineral Resources. Scan the market cap list and ask - who among them are involved in offshore exploration? I see one - Hess. Hess is primarily an offshore explorer, operating in about 9 areas around the world - almost all of them offshore. Ask how significant the current Gulf moritorium is for Hess or if there's evidence that their plan for the Bakken has changed post moritorium? The plan pre-spill was 1 billion per year for the next 5 and is currently 1 billion per year for the next 5.

  4. Globally, I don't think offshore is affected at all; in fact,there was a recent story to that effect: that the BP spill in the GoM did not affect worldwide offshore drilling one bit.

    However, stateside, I think offshore has been significantly affected, especially if the folks in Louisiana are asked to comment. California certainly is not more inclined to drill offshore after the BP spill.

    In fact, mainstream media is saying that the GoM moratorium is likely to be lifted within the next 30 days or so, but that drilling will not begin for another 30 - 60 days while companies read the new regulations. I read somewhere the folks affected are calling the new situation (once the "official" moratorium is lifted) the "Obamatorium" to reflect the bureaucratic legalese that will either slow down drilling or increase costs.

    I do know, anecdotally, some roughnecks were coming up from Texas to North Dakota during the moratorium; I met them while blogging at McDonald's.

    Globally, the spill had no effect for companies like Hess. Domestically, it will have a significant affect based on what I've read, including more op-ed pieces today.

  5. The context of this challenge is the Bakken. Caution: political religiosity may cause blindness. Smile.
