    A brief look at how today’s “paper oil” markets function is useful. Since Goldman Sachs bought J. Aron & Co., a savvy commodities trader in the 1980’s, trading in crude oil has gone from a domain of buyers and sellers of spot or physical oil to a market where unregulated speculation in oil futures, bets on a price of a given crude on a specific future date, usually in 30 or 60 or 90 days, and not actual supply-demand of physical oil determine daily oil prices. -F W Engdahl

    Supreme Court Rules Unanimously Against EPA “Strong-Arming of Regulated Parties”
    Damon W. Root | March 21, 2012

    The Supreme Court handed down a major win for both property rights and due process rights today in the case of Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency. At issue was the EPA’s use of so-called administrative compliance orders, which are government commands that allowed the agency to regulate the use of private property without also subjecting its actions to judicial review. In a 9-0 ruling, with the majority opinion written by Justice Antonin Scalia and separate concurring opinions filed by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Justice Samuel Alito, the Supreme Court declared that these EPA actions must be subject to judicial review. Here’s a key portion of Scalia’s majority opinion:

    the Government notes that Congress passed the clean Water Act in large part to respond to the inefficiency of then-existing remedies for water pollution. Compliance orders, as noted above, can obtain quick remediation through voluntary compliance. The Government warns that the EPA is less likely to use the orders if they are subject to judicial review. That may be true—but it will be true for all agency actions subjected to judicial review…. And there is no reason to think that the Clean Water Act was uniquely designed to enable the strong-arming of regulated parties into “voluntary compliance” without the opportunity for judicial review—even judicial review of the question whether the regulated party is within the EPA’s jurisdiction.

    Wake up muppets, it’s the best time to buy stocks (at the top of a Fed inflated bubble, impending collapse in Spain/Europe, record deficits and debt) in “a generation”, or so says the squids at GS. Call your Goldman broker and start buying now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Goldman Sachs: Best Time in a Generation to Buy Stocks, Sell Bonds

    As much as most of us could effortlessly list a dozen reasons why the next 10 years will be as hard on stock investors as the previous decade, what matters today is that Goldman Sachs (GS) is making a big call to the contrary.

    In a research note out this morning, “The Long Good Buy,” Goldman’s chief global equity strategist, Peter Oppenheimer, unveils a whopper:

    “The prospects for future returns in equities relative to bonds are as good as they’ve been in a generation.”

    In one fell swoop, Oppenheimer has not only called out the analysts that we just highlighted for being 6-months late in supporting the current rally, but raised the ante by calling for more of the same, for the foreseeable future. Specifically, “a steady upward trajectory over the next few years.”

    “It’s a curious time to do it,” Macke says in the attached video. “They’re either very, very late or prescient as all get out.”

    This recalls the famous quote from Henry Paulson in 2007, when he said something like Economic conditions and prospects are the best he had seen in his lifetime…
